Chapter 470: Everyone In The Ming Dynasty Can Eat Meat, Starting With Salted Fish [Please Subscribe,
After listening to what Yan Changqing said about Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they were all stunned at this moment, with disbelief on their faces.
Prince Zhu Biao looked at Yan Changqing in a daze and said:
“Let everyone in Ming Dynasty’s 60 million people eat meat. Is it that simple?!”
Throughout the dynasties, it has been extremely difficult just to feed the common people, let alone to ensure that everyone can eat meat.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to allow everyone to eat meat.
However, now this extremely difficult matter was solved by Zhao Changqing in a few words and in an understatement.
This solution was too easy and too easy, making him feel unreal.
Of course, not only Prince Zhu Biao had this feeling, Zhu Yuanzhang, and other princes such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di also had this unreal feeling.
On the podium, Yan Changqing tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Prince Zhu Biao, he thought for a while and then said:
"A guard ship can salvage hundreds to thousands of jins of fish once it goes out to sea. Is there anything wrong with this data inference?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao shook his head and said there was no problem.
He is not a man who is not familiar with the navy. Not to mention the sea, in rivers and lakes alone, a guard ship can salvage hundreds to thousands of kilograms of fish at a time.
Yan Changqing then asked:
"Then 1,200 guard ships, going out to sea once, can catch at least hundreds of thousands to millions of jins. Is there any problem with this data inference?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao shook his head again. After all, he had learned arithmetic from Yan Changqing. He could still calculate such a simple multiplication arithmetic problem.
Yan Changqing asked again:
"Then 1,200 guard ships go to sea four times a month. Is there a problem with this frequency?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao shook his head again and again. He went to sea four times for thirty days in a month, no less.
Yan Changqing asked again:
"Then 1,200 guard ships go out to sea four times a month and fish from tens of millions to tens of millions of jins. Is there any problem with this data?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao still shook his head. He was not able to judge whether it was right or wrong for a very simple data deduction problem.
Yan Changqing picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued:
“Does salted fish meat count as meat?!”
"If His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that salted fish meat is not considered meat, then just pretend that I didn't say that!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao nodded suddenly and said:
“Salted fish meat is naturally meat!!!”
He is not Emperor Hui of Jin who said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" Let alone the common people, even to him, the Crown Prince, salted fish meat is still meat!!!
If he dared to say "salted fish meat is not meat", his father Zhu Yuanzhang sitting next to him would be able to slap him with a big mouth!!!
Yan Changqing put down his tea cup, looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said with a smile:
"The imperial court sells salted fish from tens of millions to tens of millions of jins cheaper, but ordinary people can afford to buy three to five taels a month, or one or two jins, right?!! "
Prince Zhu Biao nodded. If tens of millions to tens of millions of catties of salted fish can be sold, then the price of salted fish will inevitably be greatly reduced.
At that time, depending on the people's ability, it will be no problem for each person to buy three or five taels a month, or one or two kilograms of salted fish.
Yan Changqing clapped his palms together at the end, spread them out, looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said with a smile:
“Wouldn’t this just allow the common people to eat fish once a month?!!”
Prince Zhu Biao fell silent again, because the logic was so smooth that he could not find any loopholes at all.
"So if you want people to be able to eat salted fish several times a month, or even eat salted fish once every three to five times."
"Then we just need to continue to expand the Daming Navy and relax the restrictions on coastal people going to the sea."
Yan Changqing looked at the silent Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the equally silent Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and said with a smile.
In his previous life, when large-scale fishing had been carried out for nearly a hundred years, the ordinary fishing boats of ordinary fishermen would go out to sea once during the fishing season.
In a round trip of one to two days at a time, you can still catch tens of thousands to tens of thousands of catties of fish and seafood.
For those large fishing boats, tons are used as the unit of measurement, and they can catch hundreds of tons to tens of tons of fish and seafood at a time.
Even the largest fishing vessel Yan Changqing knew in his previous life was the Bertelsmann trawler.
The fishing vessel is 143 meters long and 18 meters wide. The frozen fish hold alone can hold 6,000 tons of fish. It can catch 300 tons of fish in one net, and 1,500 tons of fish can be caught in one go.
In other words, the Bertasmann trawler can catch three million kilograms of fish at a time, which can feed one million people at the same time!!!
From this we can see how great the potential of marine fisheries is!!!
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), the sea was equivalent to ten treasures that had not been exploited for thousands of years.
There are countless marine biological resources such as various sea fish, sea shrimps, sea crabs, sea shells and so on.
In terms of quantity alone, the marine biological resources of this era are definitely several times, or even ten times, richer than the marine biological resources of future generations!!!
At least there is definitely no need to consider issues like fishing moratoriums like later generations.
Coupled with the salvage and capture of seafood, strictly speaking, there is not much technical content.
…………Please give me flowers 0…
During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, fishing nets were used to salvage and capture seafood, and in later generations, fishing nets were still used to salvage and capture seafood.
At most, the design of fishing nets in later generations may be improved compared to today's fishing nets from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
But there is no qualitative difference between the two.
The real qualitative difference between the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and later generations only lies in the power source of fishing boats and the size of the boats.
However, the power of the fishing boat affects the time and speed of the boat out to sea.
The size of the ship only affects the number of marine fish that the ship can net, catch and store at one time.
This does not mean that the guard ships of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty could not go out to sea to salvage, capture and store marine fish.
At most, the guard ships of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty were limited by power and could only go back and forth to the sea three to five times a month. They could not be like those of later generations, which could only go to sea two or thirty times a month as long as they had enough fuel.
As well as the guard ships of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, limited by the size of the ships, they could not go out to sea to salvage, capture and store as much seafood as they did in the ancient times.
But even so, with the marine biological resources that are several times richer than those of later generations, or even more than ten times richer.
A guard ship from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty went to sea once. As long as it did not encounter natural disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis, hundreds to thousands of kilograms of seafood could still be salvaged and caught.
And with the current scale of the Ming Dynasty's 1,200 guard ships, if all of them were used for salvage and capture.
Then one trip to the sea can catch hundreds of thousands to millions of catties of marine fish, and one month can catch tens of millions to tens of millions of catties of marine fish.
Such a salvage catch is possible in this era.
Not only is this salvage catch not an exaggeration, it can also be said to be a relatively conservative figure.
Coupled with the large amount of sea salt produced on the beach, these sea fish will be pickled into salted fish and then transported to the inland for sale.
So it is possible to allow the common people to eat salted fish meat once a month.
And compared with ordinary meat, salted fish meat has a salty taste. If ordinary people buy salted fish, they can also save part of the money to buy salt.
It can be said that in this era, if there is any way, the common people can quickly eat meat once a month [or even eat meat once every three to five times].
So vigorously developing marine fisheries is definitely one of them!!!
