Chapter 194 The fish shop in Lianyun County
This good order is created. Now the entire Xia Pi City is clean and has no say, and it is very popular.
Chen Gong smiled and said, "This Wei Xu must have sent all the homeless men to sift sand. Why can't even see a homeless man?"
Wang Min nodded: "It's really possible."
The group came to the yamen. When Wei Xu saw Chen Gong coming, he was like seeing his relatives.
"The military advisor is here. I haven't seen him for half a year. Hurry up, let's go to the back hall."
"The Wei County Governor is well managed in Xia Pi City. The streets are clean and neat, without any delay. The roads and fields are developing well."
Wei Xu sighed and said, "Oh, if you don't become an official, you want to be an official. Only after becoming an official can you realize that there are many headaches. There are not many big cases in a year. You just make trouble all day long, and trivial matters are the most difficult to judge."
Chen Gong understood Wei Xu's feelings very well. The transformation from a general to a local official was not an easy task.
Leading troops to fight war requires decisiveness, simplicity and rudeness.
However, local officials are completely opposite in politics. They have to do work, talk to each other, explain the government's policies thoroughly to gentry, the people, and merchants.
Chen Gong praised: "I think that in addition to Xuzhou and Pengcheng, Xia Pi is the first county to solve the problem of eating. Once fish farming in rice fields is promoted, it will be a major event that will benefit all the future, and it will become a hometown of fish and rice from then on."
Wei Xu smiled and said, "In Xia Pi, a large number of Wenhou melons, Wenhou rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have begun to grow in large quantities. Next year, these high-yield crops will be promoted, and the yield of dry land is guaranteed. Common people and poor farmers will not have to worry about food and drink. In fact, most of the paddy fields are in the hands of large households, and few retail investors are relatively. But no matter what, small households can eat, but their lives are not as good as those of large households."
The Yellow Turban Uprising had a great impact on the big families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although it failed to completely defeat the big families, a lot of land was released. Ordinary farmers could also share the land at home, but it was just a matter of how good or bad it was. Ordinary farmers could eat enough.
Especially sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which are powerful tools to survive famine. With these three crops that can adapt to barren land, good days for the poor are coming.
"The cold winter is coming soon. The Wei County Magistrate worked hard and arranged for inspection in various counties. If the family is poor, there are no winter clothes or quilts, they will be arranged to work in disaster relief sites for short-term work, distribute clothes and quilts, and try not to freeze to death." Chen Gong said the purpose of this trip.
Wei Xu pointed to the warehouse in front: "Everything that should be distributed has been distributed. Now there are about thousands of people in the six disaster relief sites. Some people need cloth shoes, some quilts, and some slim clothes are being distributed according to the standards set by the governor's office. Local gentry in Xia Pi donated more than 10,000 pieces of winter clothes, and they have been distributed. In the past few days, Xia Pi City and its counties will open porridge sheds, and rice porridge will be distributed once a day at noon to leave a way out for those who have no food to eat."
Chen Gongshen agreed. Some people missed the time to apply, while others may have a bad relationship with the clan leader and did not report. Moreover, eight out of ten people these days are unaware of words, so it is necessary to set up such a porridge-fed spot. This year, Xuzhou has good weather and good harvests of summer and autumn grain, and there is no shortage of this little bit of food.
Xia Pi is rich in coarse cloth, and people are more resistant to freezing these days.
When Chen Gong arranged for Wei Xu to serve porridge, he encountered those who had no winter clothes and could give them a few feet of cloth and ask them to make a winter clothes.
Wei Xu took notes one by one and arranged for someone to start the process.
Chen Gong inspected Xia Pi for three days, and then transferred to Lianyun County, the smallest county in Xuzhou.
This county is only more than 30 miles long from north to south and more than ten miles wide from east to west. There are only a dozen fishing villages in total, with a population of only 5,000.
Chen Gong even believed that it was Lu Bu who specially set up a county in order to fool his brother-in-law Cao Fang.
But this time Chen Gong came over to change his mind. Although Lianyun County is not large in size, there are many workshops. The official canned fish shop, fish meal shop, dried shrimp processing shop, and salted fish shop.
Chen Gong was a little confused, and there were at least twenty official and commercial workshops.
"Can fish be supplied in such a workshop?"
Cao Fang smiled and said, "The military advisor should not know how big the sea is. From here, you can't see land for thousands of miles. However, our fishing boats are still inappropriate, but these dozens of workshops can still be supplied. Moreover, these fish are seasonal, and the fish processed in each season are different. In addition, some fish must be banned during the spawning period of four, five, six or three months every year. The output is good in my opinion, but the lord said that this is not called output. The real output is beyond the reach of Xuzhou people."
The official fish canned shop here specializes in supplying the team to make canned sardines, canned yellow croaker, and canned hairtails. The wind was blowing outside, and the workshop was steaming hot. Hundreds of women in work clothes were frying fish, using large pots and vegetable oil.
Chen Gong wanted to go in, but Cao Fang stopped him and said, "Military advisor, change your clothes first, put on your head cover, and mask."
"Isn't it just fried fish? That's so strict?"
Cao Fang looked helpless: "I think so too, but the lord asked. Wear a hat to avoid losing the canned fish. Wear a mask to avoid talking and spitting around."
Xiang Yan's canned food shop takes the high-quality route and does foreign trade. It is different here, and it is prepared for supplying teams and in stock military rations.
After the fish and shrimps are cleaned, fry them first, then bottle them, and then seal them and put them in the steamer for half a quarter of an hour.
"Although the whole process is troublesome, the daily output is still good. Now we can produce 10,000 bottles a day. Almost 20,000 kilograms of fish and shrimp. If the ceramic bottles were not supplied, the output would be even more."
Chen Gong asked: "Then why not use a larger ceramic jar?"
"That's very easy to break. This way, what is made with small jars can be kept for about a year. The soldiers ate our canned fish and shrimp, which is rich in nutrients, strong and strong."
Chen Gong was extremely excited inside. His lord was too fierce. In less than a year, Xuzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes. The soldiers not only ate food and vegetables, but also ate fish and shrimp. Only with military rations were guaranteed can more soldiers be trained. When they returned, they would definitely recommend that the lord expand his army and expand his army. In this chaotic world, nothing can bring a sense of security than the army.
Next to the canned food shop is a half-built fishmeal shop, covering an area of more than ten acres, and there are hundreds of drying rooms alone. This thing must be built with black smoke. However, there are no other industries these days, so little coal is nothing.
"Can there be so many fish that make fish meal? How wasteful it is to feed pigs to make fish meal? How good is it to feed people?"
"This fish that makes fish meal is strange. Every summer, it can be fished in large quantities, but people cannot eat it. Once fishing is on the shore, it will smell bad and must be dried immediately. This shop can not only make fish meal, but also dry other small fish and shrimps."
