The torches held by people coming from all directions are like fire dragons converging on the beach. Even if there is a bright moon in the sky at night, the blue color of the sea cannot be discerned with the naked eye.The sea surface reflected the bright moon and the dots of starlight in the sky, which seemed to be shining, and the sparkling light made people feel that there was no danger.Then [the loud sound of the rumbling donkey was caused by the waves hitting the rocks, and it was more ferocious than the day.

A horn sounded in the distance, and the people on the beach waited anxiously, and no one even made a sound.Xuanyuan Yun felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and it seemed familiar.This is the case for those people who greet the triumphant return team outside the capital. They look forward to the return of their relatives and bring back the news of victory, but they may get the bad news that their relatives are not there, and they are anxious and full of expectations.

Dots of light moved on the sea surface, not as bright as stars and moons, but very orderly, getting closer and closer, and many people were heading towards the beach submerged by shallow tide regardless of the waves.It's a boat, several large wooden boats, lined up in an orderly manner, cutting through the water and heading towards the coast.After seeing the number of ships clearly, cheers suddenly sounded, making only the choppy sea suddenly popular.

The strong men and women rushed into the seawater with wooden barrels until they were submerged up to their waists. If they went forward, they would fall into deep water. They all calculated very accurately, and they would not take one more step.These fishing boats returning to Hong Kong are the fleets of the people along the coast who go out to fish. The sea is too dangerous, and traveling alone will bring unpredictable risks.So they like to travel together in this way. There are Hakka people and other people from Xuanyuan Kingdom. Different people and even customs cannot isolate them.

Buckets of fish were unloaded from the cabin, and some of the seafood was alive, splashing in the narrow wooden bucket, which excited the person who carried it.Then some fish have already died, which is undoubtedly a huge loss.The fish were brought to the beach, and the children and the elderly began to carefully select and pack them. The live ones were put aside, and the dead ones were put in another pile. They could not be allowed to soak in the water, otherwise they would really not be able to buy any more.Old people and children will smile when they see high-value fish, and naughty children will show off to their companions with fresh big fish.

"Going to help?" Hua Mu said, this is also the first time he experienced the most authentic fishermen's harvest.

"Okay." Xuanyuan Yun nodded, it turned out that the whole family of these people was dispatched for the good harvest in the middle of the night.

At this time, no one is free, and they need to sort and handle the fish in the shortest possible time, but this trip, the safe return of all members and the harvest still made these people unable to stop their inner excitement, and sang songs .

"This is more joyful than the scenes of harvests in the inland fields." Xuanyuan Yun said.

"Because they are using their lives for a good harvest." Hua Mu's thoughts were a little heavy, and he fully understood what the fat man meant.

"...Yes, their bumper harvest is even more hard-won." Xuanyuan Yun was silent when he thought of the seemingly calm but surging waves that he saw during the day.

After processing these caught seafood, this is not yet finished. The respected elders in the village will lead the young and strong youths to bring these seafood to the market in the county overnight.These must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise they will be worthless if they break!There is a special market in the county seat, and when the sky is bright, there are restaurants and rich families who come to buy these seafood.

And some seafood that cannot be sold in the market, and the quality is already bad, is packed up and taken back to the village. These can be made into dried fish sauce, salted fish, etc., which can also be regarded as a food.These things are hard-won, and they cannot be discarded easily, so for a long time, people have invented many delicious foods using the ingredients of these small fish and shrimp.

Everyone finished their work on the beach, but instead of going back to their homes, they went to the most flat and open space in the village.Hua Mu and the others have been here during the day, there is a freshwater river passing through here, and there are some stones by the river, as if someone placed them on purpose.Now that I finally know the function of these stones, these people took unsalable seafood and processed it here overnight, and they didn't want to waste any time.

"Our fishermen go out once or twice a month. They can't go out to sea once in the windy season. In winter, fishes leave here. The sea has given us food and brought us a meager income, but it has also devoured countless of our clansmen. Every time , it’s all like this, when we hear the clarion call of returning from afar, we always rush to the seaside immediately. And sometimes, what we welcome is not only the harvest from fishing at sea, but also the bad news of our relatives!” Mu and Xuanyuan Yun said beside him.

Hua Mu and Xuanyuan Yun listened silently. They thought of the laughter and laughter of everyone in the tulou during the day, but they didn't expect such a heavy boulder to be in their hearts—is the family member who went to sea still safe?What is needed here is not comfort, so neither of them made a sound, waiting for what the fat man had to say.

"I also heard about Mr. Hua from a group of caravans by chance, as well as your kindness and sincerity to the people, His Royal Highness Hui Wang, the changes in the Ministry of Industry in the past year, and the benefits brought to the people. Welfare. I seem to have grasped a life-saving straw. I look forward to being close to you. I hope you can change the lives of countless coastal residents like our village. When I was thinking hard about how to approach you , but you came here, please forgive me for all the temptations I made to you during the day." The fat man said.

"I really appreciate your temptation that you are not afraid of death." Xuanyuan Yun snorted, but it also made the atmosphere less dignified.

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation." Fatty Hei still had a thick skin after all.

"Actually, Qiye came here this time to bring a source of income to this place." Hua Mu said with a smile, the cheeks of these two people can really compete with each other, who is thicker.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for being here!" Fatty Hei immediately got excited, and those eyes could still see the light in the dark night!

Hua Mu told Fatty Hei about doing business with foreign caravans, and proposed a plan for increasing taxes.After all, now foreign trade and commerce are all high-end gadgets, and those who can afford them are the rich. Raising taxes can just reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.And this tax money is now more useful, as an investment for these fishermen.

Hua Mu has already thought of several plans to develop the fishing village here, but he needs to call Hua Sheng to list the plans in detail.

"However, if the trade is opened, more troops will be stationed here, and we don't have many soldiers who are familiar with water." The fat man immediately thought of this.

Hua Mu couldn't help but want to give this black fat man a thumbs-up. Hua Mu had thought about this, because opening a commercial port is like opening the country to the country on the other side of the sea, and it needs a strong naval force as a backing. to ensure safety.Hua Mu was able to think of it because he had learned from the history of the Chinese nation, and this fat black man could also think of it. It would not be easy if he was not dazzled by the huge benefits.

"Mr. Hua has thought of this a long time ago, so this time, I firstly supervised the successful completion of the first cooperation with a foreign caravan, and secondly, arranged for the naval forces here. In the future, the naval forces of our Xuanyuan Kingdom will The || army must be able to conquer this sea, and even the elders on the other side of the ocean!" Xuanyuan Yun said, he did not expect that this sentence would really come true in the near future, and the fat black man was already in a high position at that time, but Still sticking to the sea, firmly defending Xuanyuan Kingdom's sea comfort.The white beard still looked at the army || fleet galloping across the ocean, and sighed with a smile: This is all brought by that person!He is an amazing person!

"In addition to trade, I still have some ideas, but the specific plan needs to be discussed with everyone, especially experienced fishermen." Hua Mu said.

"Mr. Hua, the people in the caravan said that you are the lucky star who was photographed by the gods to bless my Xuanyuan Kingdom. It is true!" the fat man said sincerely.
