They docked the boat on the shore, placed all kinds of goods in front of Zhao Jin, and chatted enthusiastically around Zhao Jin.

A strong young man was the first to speak: "Xiao Jin'er, I caught an otter. I heard people say that when a fish is put on ice, an otter sacrifices a fish. This seems to be a very precious sacrifice, just like a cow.

It’s more than twenty kilograms, you can take it home and eat it.”

Fish on ice, Rex offering fish as a sacrifice comes from "Book of Rites".

"Moon Order": "In the Mengchun month, the east wind thaws, the stinging insects begin to stir, the fish climbs on the ice, the otter sacrifices the fish, and the swans come."

In fact, this is a seasonal song to guide Zhu Xia to carry out agricultural production, and it is not a sacrifice. It is mainly to remind fishermen that Otters will sacrifice fish, and then Yu people will enter Zeliang.

Obviously, the production level here in Wuxian County is somewhat backward, which is why this young man only knows a little about the seasonal songs and relies on guessing the meaning of the words.

But Zhao Jin was also a father-in-law. Hearing this, he immediately became interested and said: "If it is such a good thing, then I will buy it and go back to steam the meat and eat it."

After that, she took out more than fifty Tongbao coins from the cloth bag she carried with her and handed them to him: "I haven't bought this thing before, but I guess I can't exchange it for two stones of grain. If I give you this money, you can go

There should be enough to exchange for fifty kilograms of grain on the market. If your family has a field, if it's not too much, it will be enough to pay taxes this year."

The young man obviously often made deals with Zhao Jin. He happily took the copper coins from Zhao Jin's hand and put them directly into his arms without counting them.

Other teenagers also presented some rare things like treasures, including bird eggs, snails, pheasants, and even several pearls.

Sun Ce finally understood why Sun Quan gave gifts to people, including several baskets of pearls. These things cannot be circulated far away at present, and they cannot be sold at a high price in Jiangdong.

Sun Ce returned from the south. Zhao Jin was going to buy a sumptuous dinner today, so she bought quite a lot of things. By the time the transaction was over, she had three lake turtles, an otter, and more than ten kilograms of food hanging next to her.

A basket full of fresh fish.

Sun Ce was moved when he saw it. In this land of plenty, if the fishery could develop, the people under his rule would definitely become richer.

He took the initiative and asked: "Is this what you harvested today?"

Although several young people were hostile to Sun Ce and did not want to talk to him, they were still children after all. Some of them immediately raised their chests proudly: "We caught them all today. I'm sure you have never caught so many good people in robes."

Something?"

Sun Ce smiled, "When I shot the tiger, you were still playing in the mud!"

However, Sun Ce did not argue with the children about winning or losing, but asked: "Then why don't you look very tall? Such a harvest should be enough for you."

"My father said it was all because of the various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes levied on meat-eaters. We couldn't bear to eat the good things we caught, and we exchanged them all for money, which was not enough to pay the various calculation and oral taxes."

Sun Ce instantly had the deepest understanding of the heavy taxes in the late Han Dynasty.

Then he asked: "Now that the government no longer collects household taxes, you should be able to eat meat, right?"

The child was careless, and someone immediately said proudly: "That's right, so the number of fishermen in Dadang is increasing every day. There are already more than 200 households, and maybe there will be 300 households next month."

A slightly mature boy next to him immediately blocked his mouth and yelled, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and help Xiao Jin'er carry things to the car."

"I'm not talking nonsense, this is what my mother told me... uh, uh!"

Looking at the teenagers who were dragged away with their mouths covered, Sun Ce showed a faint smile. He did not sigh at all because of the non-taxation of fisheries.

In this land of plenty, if you want to develop the fishing industry, you can't just rely on your words.

The law of economics is that if you want to develop any industry, you should exempt it from taxes, and it will usually develop rapidly.

The current development is obviously operating spontaneously in accordance with economic laws.

Regarding the fishing industry, Sun Ce really didn't put much energy into it.

However, the people have been very smart and followed the convenience and turned to the fishing industry. They spontaneously put a lot of energy into fishing, thus developing another livelihood besides farming to supplement their families.

This will put a large amount of manpower into the fishing industry, promote the scale development of the entire industry, and make the land of fish and rice truly worthy of its title.

Of course, even if someone gave up farming and relied entirely on fishing for a living, Sun Ce actually didn't care too much.

After all, fishing is not farming, and the harvest cannot be stored for a long time. It must be traded in the city or the grass market. The collection of commercial taxes can also make up for their taxes.

However, there is no need to worry about taxation. At present, Sun Ce's most important thing is to truly develop the land of fish and rice, so that the people can truly produce a large amount of food!

With the output of these fishermen, Sun Ce was even more determined to build a grand highway between Wu County and Yangcheng Lake, which would not only facilitate the transportation of cloth and materials by the Weaving Department, but also facilitate the fishermen to send their catch everywhere.

While Sun Ce was thinking, several teenagers had already moved the goods to the car. When they saw Zhou Cheng approaching, they immediately saluted warmly and respectfully.

Zhou Cheng waved his hands calmly, then walked up to Sun Ce and asked, "Why did Sun Lang go to the lakeside?"

"Sun Lang?" All the teenagers took a breath of air-conditioning in an instant. This man who has been ostracized by them and has a bad smile on his face is the current head of Wu County?

Sun Ce said with a smile: "I took a look at their transactions when I passed by. Now it seems that a fishing boat dock should be set up here to facilitate fishermen and traders. What Zhang Changshi said is extremely reasonable. Wuxian County produces a land of fish and rice, and the output

They are all very numerous. However, the scholars and the people do not have the convenience of commercial transactions. They stick to one village or one li, or even within one fort."

To put it more simply, private wealth has not circulated at all, and the government has not been able to harvest much wealth from the closed small-scale peasant production everywhere.
