Chapter 333: Do It Yourself

(Thanks to the support of the two book friends of 324 Bridge and Yan Zhiluo, thank you. There will be additional updates tonight!)

More than 100,000 fish were distributed to 50,000 households in Dengzhou, and the rest were specially asked the people to share the gifts of the Dragon King.

However, the hundreds of thousands of fish sent by the Dragon King were eaten up soon, but it does not mean that there is no fish in the sea. At present, crops cannot be produced in the drought, but the production in the sea will not be small. Since that heavy rain, the weather in Dengzhou has become much cooler. Construction sites in various places are still continuing, and Li Jing has also drawn many fishermen from the coast to organize them, and the two sailors of Zhenhai and Nutao worked as guards to form dozens of large fishing fleets to fish at the sea.

In order to catch fish and fish for sea vegetables, many plants in the sea can also be eaten, such as kohl, kelp, red algae, seaweed, wakame, etc. Kelp was also called kohl in the Tang Dynasty. Wakame was also called kohl, but in fact, although kelp and kohl, they are similar, they are not strictly the same type. However, at this time, these long kelps were almost all called kohl. At this time, kohl was rarely eaten, but used as medicine. Medical books uploaded kohl, which eliminates phlegm, softens hardness, promotes diuresis and reduces swelling. It is mainly used for scrofula, goiter, choking, and hernia. It is used for goiter, scrofula, swelling and pain in the testicles, and phlegm and fluid edema.

When Li Jing asked someone to catch these kohlrabi, red algae, seaweed and chandalai, and said that they could be eaten, many people felt that they were a little reluctant. It is certain that they could eat these things, but in their opinion, eating these is no different from eating grass roots and bark.

However, after Li Jing let the cook cook make various dishes according to his own method, many people praised it after he received the kohlrabi, red algae, seaweed, wakame, etc., especially the kohlrabi stewed bones, seaweed, egg soup, sauera tofu soup, cold sauera, roasted seaweed and so on. People who have eaten it can't help but applaud it, and they are all called sea vegetables.

It does not take much manpower to catch these seaweeds. Some half-aged kids can carry a small wooden raft and take a lot of them back. These seaweeds can not only be eaten fresh, but also dried. Dried kohlrabi, dried seaweed, dried red algae, and dried wakame. After the drying is made, it is easy to store. Soak it in water when you want to eat it, and cook it whatever you want. It can not only be served for people in Dengzhou, but also sold as a new product.

If there is no oil or water in the vegetables, you have to eat more rice. Similarly, if you don’t eat only, you will have to eat more rice. Now fishing and sea-catching vegetables are actually used as auxiliary food to reduce the consumption of other staple foods.

On the Liaohai Sea, fleets were catching fishing back and forth.

In the past, fishers caught fish. However, the fish could be preserved. Apart from eating it themselves, they could only dry the fish. But now, Li Jing has set up fish canning workshops in various coastal ports, and even in several large fleets, there are several large ships with tens of thousands of stones. These ships integrate production, processing and transportation. The fish caught from the sea are directly slaughtered and processed on the ship to make canned products. In this way, larger fleets can even come back at sea for one or two consecutive months when the wind is calm. When they come back, they canned fish of tens of thousands of stones.

Fish treated with canned fish are much higher-end, atmospheric and high-end than dried salted fish. The consumption of dried fish is limited. However, such canned fish can be eaten as a staple food. It is not only delicious but also easier to preserve, but also popular. It can not only be eaten by the people of Dengzhou, but also sold to all places as an excellent product.

Li Jing is now in Dengzhou and has only one thing to do to stabilize Dengzhou.

There is only one thing in Dengzhou that is to make the people full. Although one million stones of disaster relief food have been prepared, Li Jing will not relax. Work-for-relief is in full swing, and Li Jing ordered two naval battalions to protect the fishing fleet while also fishing.

The other infantry and cavalry were not spared. Li Jing ordered the battalions of Zhendong Army to launch military hunting operations. Not only did the battalions of Dengzhou participate, but also the two wings of Liaodong also had to participate. Each battalion entered the mountains to hunt in the form of military training. On the one hand, he trained by hunting, but on the other hand, he also allowed the army to hunt and gain prey to alleviate the current severe food shortage.

At the same time, each battalion must carry out pig raising, sheep raising, chicken raising duck raising, etc., so that each battalion can be self-sufficient. At least, these sea vegetables, fish, meat, and these chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are eaten with food, so the food can be saved a lot.

Zhang Hong was the first to applaud Li Jing's arrangements. Dengzhou is now in full swing. Although it has been drought this year, the water conservancy construction will definitely be a good year next year. On the other hand, because of the fishing team and hunting team, as well as vigorously breeding and salvage of seaweed, the victims in Dengzhou have not only not gone out to flee the famine and beg for food as in previous years, but can all stay at home.

And I can have a full meal every day. Although this rice is almost mixed with large pieces of fish, kombu, seaweed, etc., it can only be considered a mixed rice. However, in the disaster year, it is already a great luck to be able to have a full meal every day. What's more, this fish is not dried salted fish, these fish are all canned fish and taste good.

The victims have something to do and have food to eat. Even the young and old at home can eat a full meal. However, many people are not so luxurious. Most of them have half of the grain and half of the wild vegetables every day, and the remaining grain is accumulated. Even if the county marquis above loves the people and cares about everyone, the disaster year is not so luxurious, and the water has to flow frequently. Many people are tired all day during the day, but they are always awake until midnight. They have to check the rice jar several times and look at the food inside to sleep in peace.

Although Li Jing has not been in Dengzhou for a long time, his reputation is now growing. Many people have begun to set up cemetery tablets for Li Jing at home to pray for Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing will be the governor of Dengzhou in the future, so that everyone will not have to worry about good days.

Every time Li Jing goes out, the people will bow to him when they see him, and some people even kowtow directly.

Early in the morning, Li Jing woke up in Gongsun Lan's arms. Li Jing often works in Dengzhou now, so his mother and wife and concubines naturally moved to Dengzhou. The family has a big house in Dengzhou. Recently, good things have been happening. Wang Guiniang and Wan'er, who have not been moved, were pregnant at the same time. The whole family was very happy. Li's mother was even more excited and ignored her identity every day and personally served Guiniang.

In addition, Wang Wanjun and Pei Chenxi are also getting heavier. Sometimes when Li Jing goes back, he has to sleep alone. During this period of time, he is too lazy to go home. As a result, Li Huier and Gongsun Lan almost took turns to come. One day, the two of them came over in the middle of the night, but they collided and made a big blushing face.

However, although it was broken, no one of the two Li Jing's lovers said it. Next, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding. Li Huier came on the side, and Gongsun Lan came on the side, and he never had any trouble later.

"Now Dengzhou seems to know our relationship." Li Jing said to Gongsun Lan.

"I don't know who you have to do with Li Huier!" Gongsun Lan said.

Li Jing smiled. There was no airtight wall in the world, and it could be hidden once or twice. However, over time, this paper could not contain the popularity. Now, not to mention the upper class of Dengzhou, everyone knows about the ambiguous relationship between Li Jing, the princess and Gongsun Lan, even Li's mother and Gui Niang had known it long ago. However, Li's mother did not restrain Li Jing in this regard. Perhaps because she felt that there was only one male left in the Li family from Li Jing, she wanted him to have more branches and leaves. As for Wang Guiniang, as Li Jing's status grew higher, she seemed to become weaker and she had long disappeared. Especially since she had never been pregnant, she would not ask about Li Jing's affairs outside. Now she finally got pregnant, so she ignored Li Jing's affairs outside.

Wang Wanjun was a little jealous, but she was very smart. He decided that there was ambiguous relationship between Li Jing, the princess and Gongsun Lan. But these two people could not enter the Li family. The princess had a noble status and could not come to the Li family as a concubine. Gongsun Lan was a dancer and a widow, so she would not even make Li Jing unhappy because of this.

After saying a few words to Gongsun Lan, Li Jing got up, went to take a walk in the horse first, practiced archery and horse spear, and was sweating. He was directly served by Gongsun Lan to take a shower, and Li Jing went to the court.

"Master, something happened!" As soon as Li Jing entered the court, he saw Zhang Hong coming hurriedly.

"What happened?" Song Wei in Qingzhou is still busy pacifying Wang Jingwu. It is reported that he is invincible and has his own victory and defeat, and has already taken back Zizhou. However, the return of the horse exploration was that Wang Jingwu took the initiative to withdraw from Zizhou, and his power in Qizhou has not weakened much. Except for Qingzhou, Duli Town and other forces in Liaodong have already surrendered. Li Jing has sent a number of troops to Liaodong to persuade those forces to submit to the Tang Dynasty. There is no reason why anything can happen. As for Dengzhou, everything is right now, how can something happen?

"It's the salt factory, something big happened to the salt factory!"

When Li Jing heard that something happened in the salt factory, he was shocked. In order to deal with Li Jing, Tian Lingzi specially made trouble for him. On the Golden Palace, he got Li Jing the official position of the Liaohai Salt and Iron Transportation Envoy. In addition, Tian Lingzi directly contracted Li Jing with the position of the two yamen. Three million jin of coins a year, Tian Lingzi was very vicious. If he could not give three million to the court, he would probably have more secret tricks later.

However, after receiving this appointment, Li Jing did not have much difficulty, but instead chuckled. Others may be worried about this, but Li Jing would not. With the reputation of the salt and iron transport envoy and the coin minting envoy, Li Jing could directly sell salt, tea, or even mine, and not only could he open gold or silver ore, but also copper ore, iron ore, tin ore, lead ore, and also could directly mint money by himself.

From then on, we can open private salt, open black mines, and cast private money open! Are we still afraid that the money will not come and we will earn less than three million contract fees a year?

After receiving the appointment, Li Jing immediately opened ten salt factories of all sizes and sizes along the coast of Dengzhou and Qingnicheng, Liaodong, and was trying hard to dry salt during the current tide period. But Li Jing had high hopes for these ten salt factories, but something happened suddenly. How could Li Jing not be surprised? This year's contract fee of three million yuan depends on these salt factories.
