People who are accustomed to living on land will have an inexplicable fear of the sea that cannot be seen at a glance, of course, not on the premise of enjoying the scenery, but under the premise of falling into difficulty, people on land are accustomed to surviving on land, and at sea, they do not feel a sense of security at all, human beings are terrestrial creatures, and they have a natural disadvantage to the sea, and they cannot control the behemoth of the sea.

In addition, although there is abundant food and enough resources for human beings to use for a long time, no matter how it is extracted, it needs to take a certain risk, and the calories are not high, if you only eat seafood, it is difficult to ensure the nutritional needs of the human body, and it will also increase the demand for water, and the sea water can not be drunk indiscriminately, which is very important.

And if the number of people in distress is large, and the small island of refuge is not too big, and the material content is not enough to support these people until the day they are rescued, then the situation will be even worse, of course, if they are all men, or adult men, at least they can ensure that there is enough labor and the ability to defend themselves.

The shipwrecked crew of the middle way out to sea are now concentrated in the Ryukyu Islands, originally they could only take refuge on a relatively large island, but later there were too many people, and the space and resources on the island were not enough, everyone could see that there were many small islands around this island, so they worked together to cut down the trees on the island to make rafts, and gradually transported many people to other islands, disperse the number of people, obtain more survival resources, and strive for everyone to survive until the day of rescue.

"Deputy Chief Liu, today we have discovered two more islands. A thousand people have been sent to those two islands, and now the situation has stabilized, everyone can basically rely on food such as sea fish and sea vegetables and some seabirds, and will not starve to death, and they can find drinking water on these islands, and they all boil them before drinking, so there is no epidemic. A young man dressed as a clerk held a pile of papers and reported to a man sitting at a wooden table writing something.

The man looked to be in his thirties, with a lean face, and was writing something at this time, when he heard someone come to report the situation. Put down the pen. Raising his head, he said imposingly, "Well, I see." ”

This person is Liu Renliang.

gave up his small official position and joined the Zongheng Division. became a glorious columnist. won the favor of Su Houye. He was very valued by him, and was later transferred to the northern grassland to serve as the head of trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Xue Yantuo tribes, this time in the Seven Kings going to sea. Liu Renliang was dropped back by Suning and served as the deputy head of the fleet of the Yangzhou sailing fleet on the middle road, and the head was just a housekeeper in Li Boyi's mansion.

The little butler naturally can't hold any real power, Li Er Majesty sent a deputy governor to each fleet, this intention is understood by everyone, the army and armed personnel accompanying the fleet must obey the deputy commander's dispatch, except for the direction of navigation and business, the other power belongs to the deputy chief, considering that the sky above the sea is high and the emperor is far away, in case something happens, the majesty of the law is no longer there, and it is necessary to use strong force to maintain order, ordinary civil officials can't, and military generals can't, so, There is a need for civil servants with a strong personality and a special nature.

At that time, the diplomats of the Zonghengjia who were still in the Zongheng Division won the favor of Li Erma, and felt that this group of people was the best candidate, doing things without dragging their feet, and they could be ruthless, and the way of thinking was the way of thinking of the Zongheng family, and they were decisive in killing, because the matter was important, the deputy managers of the three fleets were all excellent Zongheng families, and Liu Renliang, as one of the leaders, was named by Li Erma Xià to come back to be the deputy head of the Yangzhou sailing fleet, and he had a great power.

It was he who decisively ordered the retreat after encountering a great storm, it was he who decisively ordered to abandon the ship and take refuge on the island after he fell into distress, it was he who gathered a qiē force to select a hundred warriors to return to Datang to report the news, and with his rich knowledge of the sea and the island, no one died of hunger and epidemics, so now these tens of thousands of people are basically the only ones who are looking forward to Liu Ren, this is prestige.

Liu Renliang's rich knowledge was made up for by Suning before departure, and Suning also specially instructed Liu Renliang to write down what he saw and thought and guessed along the way, bring it back to Datang for safekeeping, and hand it over to relevant personnel for further research.

Along the way, seven people were beheaded by Liu Renliang, all of whom were hands-on, and the blood stained the scribe's robes.

So everyone is very peaceful, carefully obey Liu Renliang's orders, honestly divide into several teams according to Liu Renliang's arrangement, and then live on different islands to develop their own living space, there is not much food brought down from the boat, everyone has to go to the sea to fish, looking for seafood or seabirds that can satisfy their stomachs, and everything similar to food found in Qiē must be taken to Liu Renliang here, first give him a look to make sure that he can eat before he can eat, absolutely not eat indiscriminately, especially not allowed to eat raw things.

But the amount of food is limited, and everyone is not very full, so a few people stole and ate raw seafood, and as a result, they almost collapsed from diarrhea, and Liu Renliang didn't know what to do, so he had to give them hot water, plus some strange medicinal materials, and actually saved them, and then it became clear after severe interrogation, they stole the seafood, and as a result, they had diarrhea, and the reality that had just come out of the oven told everyone that they could only survive with Liu Renliang.

I had already eaten all the dry food I had brought with me, and there was not much food except potatoes, but there were also a lot of pickles and cured meats, which were easy to store, so that at the time of the meal, you could eat potatoes and eat soup made from meat--heavy salt, even if there was no seafood, there would be no shortage of salt.

Seafood is indeed delicious, the taste is also novel, many people like to eat, but, low calories, nutritional value is not high, for people who need to live, some special curative effects are really chicken ribs, but after all, it is better in quantity, and a group of coastal residents also participated in the fleet, they are good at replenishing sea fish and seafood, as well as fishing sea vegetables. Under their guidance, tens of thousands of people actually survived like this, and then relied on the wood on the island and the supplies on the ship, built a small house, and actually lived.

Liu Renliang watched that he had entered the regular state, and he was also very happy, he would take a boat to inspect each island every day, and then return to the big island at the beginning, and then write some of the sailing journeys explained by Su Hou Ye and tinker with them. Then the experience after the fall is described in detail. He also knew why Hou Ye did this, they were probably the first batch of shipwrecks in Datang, so these materials would be very precious survival manuals.

The guards brought him breakfast, which he ate very simply. 1/2 baked potato. There is also a bowl of salted broth with sea vegetables. Coupled with a plate of grilled seafood, he didn't know what the grilled seafood he ate was, but it was edible anyway. Don't worry about what is cooked by the fire, just eat, try to move as little as possible, or not move, reduce the consumption of physical energy and food, and more people need these things.

The stock of potatoes is not much, but they are obviously ready for a long-term war of resistance, Liu Renliang is very familiar with the yield and tenacious vitality of potatoes, through the field investigation, understand the soil situation of this island, since you can grow trees and grass, as well as mountains and water, it means that the environment is similar to the land, anyway, I don't know if it will work, idle is idle, so I took a group of farmers who have experience in planting potatoes to open a large piece of land, and also called on everyone to work together to save half of the potato, See if you can grow more potatoes.

This is the limit of what he can do at the moment, and he doesn't know what he can do, but to save these people's lives and bring them back alive as much as possible, that is the best, during this time, everyone has no backbone, if he can't stand up, these people will probably kill each other.

"Deputy Chief Liu? Deputy Director Liu? Several elderly people in their forties and fifties appeared in Liu Renliang's sight, hurriedly, with strange expressions on their faces, as if they were worried, as if they were afraid, probably because they had encountered something not very good, which made Liu Renliang feel not very steady, Liu Renliang stood up, wiped his mouth, and greeted him with a smile: "Elder Zhang, Elder Wang, Elder Liu, what good thing has happened to this?" Could it be that you have seen the fleets of other countries? ”

These three old men are the three oldest people in the entire fleet, and they are also people who beg for a living at sea all year round, all of them have a lot of experience in going out to sea to fish.

Zhang Lao took the lead and said: "Deputy Manager Liu, didn't it rain heavily last night?" There was also a storm at sea, which was terrible, but fortunately we were hiding on the back side, so we were not affected much, according to past experience, after the storm, we will all go to the beach to have a look, because it is very likely that there are some things that are not usually touched by the storm, and they are still very weak, and basically they can be caught without much effort, but when we went to see it this morning, do you know what we saw? I saw the beast! ”

Liu Renliang frowned: "Divine beast? What mythical beast? ”

Liu Lao gestured and said: "It's so big, oh my God, the old man has been begging for a life in the sea for decades, this divine beast has seen it twice, the first time I saw it from a distance, the divine beast sprayed water from the sea to the sky, the water pillar sprayed the old man high, the old man in the village said, that is the divine beast in the sea, that is the mount of the dragon king, that body, can be as big as a small mountain!" ”

Wang Lao followed and said: "Now the big guys have all run over to see, just lying on the beach, it seems that there is still gas, everyone is doubting whether this divine beast is alive or dead, what should I do, Deputy Chief Liu, it's better for you to go and see!" ”

Liu Renliang felt that the matter was a little big, and he needed to come forward, so he immediately took a team of soldiers and horses to follow the three old men to the beach, and before he got there, he saw a behemoth in the distance, and the appearance of a sea of people next to him, it was really amazing, Liu Renliang looked at it, but suddenly remembered some things that Suning had said to him.

Before leaving, Suning made up for Liu Renliang's marine knowledge, mainly talking about the self-rescue method in case of distress, in which Suning emphasized that most of the things in the ocean can be eaten, and if you are hungry, you can eat anything as long as it is cooked, and it is best to roast it, burn it directly with fire, and burn to death what some people can't eat, and then eat, Suning focused on a big fish that can be compared to a giant warship - whale.

This fish is edible! The size is huge, enough for many people to eat, how many lives can be saved, of course, Suning also said, the cut fish meat should be washed and cooked over the fire before eating, never eat raw, don't eat it if it stinks when it dies, who knows what disease you have? If you eat it, you will definitely die.

Liu Renliang couldn't help but swallow his saliva...... (To be continued......)
