January 15, 1652, Lishiri Island, Yuki.》

The old-class armed transport ship "Galicia Flying Fish" slowly docked in the dock of Yuanbo Port, accompanied by the "Baobab" flute-shaped transport ship. They took a lot of effort to find a good location to anchor. Because there were too many medium-sized fishing boats parked in the port, the dock officials had to urgently mobilize sailors to move some small boats, and then put the two large ships worth hundreds of tons in.

The biting northwest wind outside the port kept blowing. Although the surging sea water was offset several times by the coastline and the breakwater, it still created a lot of swelling in the Yuanbo Port, which made everyone who was getting on and off the boat at this moment feel a little inconvenient - it would be a big fun to fall off the sea during this season. After all, no one can guarantee that you did not freeze into popsicles when you were caught from the port. You must know that the latitude of Rishiri Island is already very low. If it were not affected by a branch of the Japanese warm current, this island would have been as frozen as the coastline of the Hokkien, Sakhalin Island and the northeast coast of the outer northeast.

The two travelers who had just been transferred from the local area to the Far East to "gilded" - Oh, I was wrong, it was work - went to Liang Xiangjian, Tang Mengxu and the other ones wearing thick leather jackets and got off the boat like two frozen quails. Then, surrounded by local township leaders, garrison captains and others who came to greet them, went to the city's residence to warm up.

After so many years of hard work, the construction achievements of Yuanbo Port are quite impressive. Liang Xiangjian and the others looked all the way, but they saw houses and shops on the Cross Street in the center of the city. Even though the weather was very cold, pedestrians were still very common on the street. This is a city that was popular because of immigration. Every November, when the sea outside Dabo and the two counties began to freeze, immigrant transport ships began to gather in the Rishiri Island. Transfer the immigrants stranded in the camp outside Yuanbo Port. This island also has a medium-sized ship repair yard, which has reserved a large amount of canvas, cables, iron spears, shipboards, tar, mechanical parts and other various rigs and spare parts. The cargo yard next door is also stacked with a large amount of washed and selected coal - most of them are black water coal, and a few are Kushiro coal.

And it is precisely because a large number of migrants are coming in and out of the island every year (immigrants to be transported), which naturally gave birth to the prosperity of the island's commercial field. After all, thousands of immigrants are gathered here every year. During the six-year stay, they also have to work (logging, building roads, building houses, arable land, digging trenches, rub ropes, weaving nets, etc., and have a meager salary). They usually consume some goods for themselves or their families, not to mention that in addition to them, there are also a large number of sailors and soldiers with high consumption capacity. These strong demands naturally gave birth to the vigorous development of local businesses. Some craftsmen made a fortune, changed their identity as the "Black Five" in the Ming Dynasty and jumped into the middle class of the city.

While the urban commerce is booming, it has indirectly increased the productivity level of Rishiri Island. Judging from the fishing industry that local residents engage in the most, due to the large demand in Denlai, Ningbo and other places (mainly military demand), the salmon and saury fishing industry on Rishiri Island has developed very rapidly. Even many fishing boats registered in Heishui Port, Dabo Port and Miaojie Port also went south to Rishiri Island for winter in winter because the harbour here does not freeze all year round. When some fishing floods that can be caught in autumn and winter appear, they can also venture to go out to sea to fish.

For example, in autumn, many fishing boats will detour to the eastern waters of Hokkien to catch Pacific soft fish, and the output will increase year by year. Last year (1651), all types of fishing boats on Rishiri Island were east of Hokkien (located in the intersection of the warm current of the Kuroshiri and the cold current of the tide. The fishing season is generally in winter), northwest of Kyushu Island (December of the fishing season - February of the following year), Honshu Island Aomori-Fukushima first-line waters (March-August of the fishing season) and Okujiri Island Fishery (July-August of the fishing season), and several discovered fishing grounds caught more than 2,400 tons of Pacific soft fish - an extremely amazing output. In addition, there are some small-scale calamari, soft fish caught, but their catch is not the same level as Pacific soft fish. However, for a few dozen tons, residents in various places have not formed the consumption habit of buying them.

Of course, compared with the cephalopod, the largest annual catch in the Blackwater area of ​​the East Coast is still the middle and upper-level small fish, mainly saury. This upper-level fish whose annual output has climbed to more than 4,000 tons has actually become the pillar of blackwater seafood. Various pickled fish, canned salted fish, smoked fish and other foods are made of saury.

In today's Denglai, Shandong, the local garrisons on the east coast also have a saury meal for each meal, which is almost the standard. Under the leadership of soldiers and officials, especially the trend caused by some soldiers returning to their hometowns and dividing land, and a large number of cheap seafood products poured into Shandong, the people's acceptance of saury is increasing day by day. At least in Penglai, Yantai, Fushan, Ninghai, Weihai, Jiaozhou, Zhaoyuan and other counties in Shandong, many residents have gradually become the habit of saury consumption, and they will buy a few kilograms to eat, which has greatly promoted the development of offshore fishing in Heishui area.

Even under the stimulation of the high profits of offshore fishing, some people who are willing to make a fuss have taken the initiative to apply to move to Sakhalin Island and Hokkien, and engage in seafood fishing, which greatly enriched the fishery market on the east coast and increased the fishery output. Of course, due to some conceptual factors, there are not too many people who dare to go out to sea to enter the world. In addition, there are very few people in Denglai now, and most people are unwilling to move, so there are not many people who have moved to Sakhalin Island. Without people, there will be no fishery output. This seems to be a very clear problem in the upper level of the east coast. Wei Boqiu, who is in charge of the Black Water economy, even plans to go to North Korea with overpopular population to bring some fishermen to increase the Black Water fishery output.

In short, with the "golden sea ranch" such as the Kuril Islands Fishing Farm, the east coast fishing fleet has grown to more than 80 medium-sized fishing boats (standard displacement of 150 tons, and sometimes large naval ships will also participate in fishing activities during the fishing flood season to increase production). The east coast fishing fleet has captured more than 10,000 tons of various seafood in the Sea of ​​Japan, Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the eastern coast of the Japanese archipelago every year.

Among them, the largest saury is 4,200 tons, followed by cephalopods, including Pacific Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible Flexible F

It is worth mentioning that these cold-water fish caught in the Pacific Northwest are relatively high in fat content, far from being comparable to warm-water fish or inland freshwater fish in the south. Therefore, eating this kind of fish is more hungry because it is rich in nutrients (warm-water fish or freshwater fish per unit weight has a calories ranging from one to one tenth of the grain, so it is a fantasy to survive by eating fish alone).

Now that the Ningbo War is approaching, Liu Haiyang's military operation was approved by Shao Shude, the war machines in the entire Heishui area have been quietly started. The military is under the responsibility of the Southern War Zone, but the logistics part needs to be supported by the north as appropriate. For example, Liang Xiangjian, Tang Mengxu and others came to Liji Island this time to transport a large amount of seafood accumulated here, and the destination is Ningbo Dinghai Port.

The village head of Yuanbo Port also knew the purpose of the two, so he didn't talk nonsense and took them directly to several large ice cellars in the city. Buckets of processed seafood were piled up in it, including salmon, saury, sardines (canned), Pacific pleated soft fish, etc.

"There are signs on the outside of the fish in the bucket, each barrel is 500 kilograms. There are still 2,803 barrels in stock in these ice cellars. I can only take 2,000 barrels to the two adults, and the rest must be kept for emergencies." The township chief looked at the two Shangguans and said carefully: "There are still quite stocks in the ice cellars in Dabo, Hei Shui, and Miao Street. In April, Dabo Port will thaw, and you can send a boat to transport it there. In addition, a Japanese company also built an underground ice cellar in Kushiro Port last year. There may also be some frozen fish and frozen meat accumulation, but that one will cost money to buy..."

"Okay, okay, you won't empty your family." Liang Xiangjian waved his hand impatiently at the village chief and said, "Just transfer 2,000 barrels from you, and the procedures will be completed for you in a while. In addition, you can allocate thousands of people from the city to me. I heard that the goats, wild boars, mooses, roe deer, and cattle that were freely raised on Liwen Island were flooded. We have to stay here for ten days and half a month, and take this time to organize hunting on the island (Lishiri Island), Lishiri Island and Okuri Island, and save some good meat to ship and take it away. The war in the south is imminent, and the soldiers consume a lot of money, so the meat must not be missing."

"This is no problem!" The township chief immediately patted his chest and promised, "One thousand people, more than half of them are skilled mountain dan hunters. Half a month is definitely enough to capture dozens or hundreds of tons of good meat. In fact, there are dozens of tons of good ham in our warehouse now. If the two adults need it, they can take it away together. As long as the procedures are complete, small transfers can be made."
