Chapter 561 Super Blue Ocean of Whaling Industry
Human whaling has a very long history.
As early as ancient times, the Eskimos near the Arctic Circle, including the Northern Indians in Northern Canada, had already begun to hunt whales, thereby obtaining a large amount of carnivore and fuel.
When China was old, there was a history of whaling in coastal areas. However, historical changes, China's exploration of the ocean was declining. Not to mention whaling, there were no small broken ships. It has to be said that this is a regression in history.
At this time, throughout the world, the whaling industry was also a small workshop-style small-scale fight and was far from being in the early mid-18, 19, and 20th centuries.
Including the big whale caught by the Haicheng Fishing Team at this time, it was purely luck that the whale was stranded and the fishing team's guys held the sheep.
But these guys are still a little confused.
"Master, can this guy eat this..."
After Xu Changqing carefully checked the huge whale, a one-armed manager led by the fishing team rushed forward carefully and asked Xu Changqing quietly. He was excited and showed fear, but it was not fear of Xu Changqing, but fear of this big whale.
This guy is a veteran of the Model Army. He retired. He was a member of the Liao people. He had followed Xu Changqing as early as Song Jin. He was already the chief officer before retirement. If he had not been injured then, he would probably have been among the senior officers of the Model Army. At the very least, he could have been able to get involved in the staff level.
Xu Changqing also knew him. This guy likes to play with knives the most in his life, and he is nicknamed "Wang Yidao".
Seeing that Wang Yidao used to kill Tartars and went to the battlefield as if he was casual, but now he looked so cute, Xu Changqing kicked him in the butt angrily: "Knife, have you been dying for two years, right? Why? You can't even hold the knife in the pile of women every day?"
"Forehead……"
Wang Yidao blushed, but he felt relieved in an instant, regaining the intimacy he felt when he was with Xu Changqing back then. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and smiled foolishly: "Master, you, you misunderstood the humble position. If you want to kill the Tartars, there is absolutely nothing to say about humble position. Now you can go into battle with a knife. Yes, but this big guy...Master, to be honest, not only is he unsure of humble position, but the brothers are also unsure of..."
The surroundings, who were more or less physically disabled, also looked at Xu Changqing with some embarrassment.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile.
This is actually human nature.
After all, the sea is too huge. Not to mention this time, even the advanced technological level of later generations, the marine areas that are truly explored, and the species they have learned are only one or two.
There has always been a saying in China: "Everything has a spirit."
It is as small as every grass and every tree, not to mention a huge creature like whales.
Even Wang Yidao and these retired model Junerlang are like this, and you can imagine the status of the people.
"Knife, who did you find this whale?"
Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Wang Yidao and kicked him, but threw him a cigar, and he slowly lit one.
Wang Yidao immediately felt like he had a treasure. He quickly lit the cigar carefully, took a beautiful breath, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Xiaohai, where is Xiaohai? Haven't you heard the Dashen ask?"
After a moment, a crowd had a hideous scar on their faces and a little mustard hair, but the young man rushed forward quickly and knelt on one knee respectfully, "Master, yes, it was the first thing that Bei Zhi discovered..."
When Xu Changqing saw Xiaohai's appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Just looking at the outline of Xiao Hai's face, this guy must have been a handsome guy back then. Unfortunately, the traces left by the war almost made him disfigured...
However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Model Army's aftermath is the best in the world at this time.
Wang Yidao, Xiaohai and the others retreated from the front line of the Model Army and soon joined the fishing team. To a large extent, the treatment was better than when they served in the Model Army.
The fishing team in Haicheng at this time was basically divided into several large pieces.
Li Youwei's command, Wu Sanmei's command, Chuxue, Xia'er
, Gu Hengbo, Tang Yu and others also have some shares.
Although it is divided into more than a dozen large and small business companies, it is actually still one in the bones.
Even the Wu family and the Li family have always wanted to intervene in this industry, but they have never succeeded and have always been firmly controlled by Xu Changqing.
This is the core lifeline of Haicheng!
He patted Xiaohai on the shoulder and threw him a cigar. When he lit it, he took a sip and calmed down his mind. He was no longer so nervous. Xu Changqing asked, "Xiaohai, did you die when you found this big guy?"
Xiaohai hurriedly said, "Master, you are not dead, you must not die. This big guy was trapped in a reef at that time and was still making a living. Bei Zhi led his brothers with more than a dozen, and he used all kinds of means, so he finally killed it. Master, look here..."
As he said that, Xiaohai hurriedly called on people around him and used a rope to flip the big guy over.
Soon, Xu Changqing saw a large number of hideous wounds around the dorsal fin on the top of the whale, including the side abdomen, which also caused the people around him to exclaim. This was a bit amazing.
It is the existence of these wounds that causes the whale to smell so much.
Xu Changqing nodded in an orderly manner: "How many days will it take for you to get it back?"
Xiaohai hurriedly said, "Master, let's just make a day. We found this big guy not far from the deep sea when we were back. For this reason, we also led sharks to chase after him. Unfortunately, the boat was full, otherwise we could bring back a few more sharks..."
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "The sea is a treasure house. Most of the fish in this sea can be eaten. This whale is no exception. Knife, you go up and try your hand and let me see if you have been lazy in the past few years!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Xu Changqing's order, Wang Yidao also became energetic, lifted the knife and rushed over.
"Puff!"
After a moment, Wang Yidao's one-armed and agile figure as if it was as strong as a crab, he had already inserted the sharp blade into the whale, and soon cut off a large piece of meat.
Everyone immediately went forward to check it out curiously, and they sniffed and squeezed it. Soon, they couldn't stop cheering.
"Master, this thing can be eaten, it's definitely something fresh."
Not far away, Zhu Mai was already mingling with the fierce men of the fishing team for a while, and a pretty smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I don’t know why, but the more she looked at Xu Changqing, the more handsome she felt, and subconsciously gently stroked her lower abdomen.
It is really her greatest luck to meet Xu Changqing.
Next to him, Zhang Baozhu's beautiful eyes became more and more complicated.
This man seems to have a kind of magic on his body, and he is born to control people's hearts.
But... I don't know whether this man's existence is good or bad for Daming...
...
After staying here for half an hour, it was completely dark. Xu Changqing took Zhang Baozhu and Zhu Mi to the Haicheng Hotel for dinner.
If these two beauties of all sizes were here, Xu Changqing would probably be able to chat with Wang Yidao, Xiaohai and the others all night tonight.
The main reason is that the appearance of this whale really allowed Xu Changqing to find a new method, which is no less than a few thousand or tens of thousands of fertile land.
Later generations, the Japanese once said that: "Most of the animal protein they consume on their Yamato people came from whale meat instead of beef."
At this time, the Mayflower has only arrived in the New World for more than 20 years. The future powerful America is not even in a silhouette, and it is just a "slap".
In Europe, whaling has just begun to sprout and is far from emerging. This is definitely a super blue ocean where every inch of land is valuable!
How could Xu Changqing give up this opportunity?
This can not only greatly strengthen the physical fitness of Haicheng, including the entire Ming people, create a lot of wealth, but also increase the Han people's ability to explore the ocean, cultivate the spirit of martial arts, and thus carry the entire basic structure.
live!
From then on, there would be no Europeans, Americans and Japanese in the whaling industry.
The key is that after the continuous development of many fishing teams in Haicheng at this time, after several years of continuous development, they can be fully qualified for whaling operations in the sea with a little guidance and training.
However, Xu Changqing has not yet come to his senses from the grand blueprint structure of the future, but is greeting Queen Zhou's cold and solemn face.
In the luxurious and low-key luxury suite of Haicheng Hotel, not only Queen Zhou was there, but also Concubine Yuan was there. Princess Zhaoren was like a little kangaroo huddled in the arms of the kangaroo mother, looking at Xu Changqing and his group curiously but a little afraid.
Queen Zhou certainly dared not accuse Xu Changqing in public, but she was not wary of her expressing her dissatisfaction with the matter through other methods.
Xu Changqing only glanced at me and understood Queen Zhou’s thoughts, but she seemed to be fine and smiled and said, “Empress, I just had some official duties, so I delayed for a while. Please forgive me.”
Seeing Xu Changqing's attitude, Queen Zhou couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Xu Changqing must be trying to suppress the matter.
He could only hold up a smile and please him: "Brother Zhongyi, you are a pillar of the country. You can just let the people below do some things. You must take good care of your health."
Seeing that Empress Zhou exposed the matter, Zhu Mei was so cute that she sniffed at Xu Changqing, and her whole body became more and more cheerful.
Soon, as the wine and food were served continuously, the indoor atmosphere began to become more relaxed and lively.
The standards and levels of Haicheng Hotel are extremely high.
At this time, not only were there many famous chefs from all over the capital here, but there were more in Shandong. Especially with the advantages of the fishing team, the various seafood dishes at Haicheng Hotel can definitely be said to be the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Xu Changqing sets up service procedures completely according to the standards of five-star hotels in later generations, which not only makes people feel at home, but also makes them more comfortable than when Queen Zhou and the others were in the palace back then, and they are not wasted.
Of course, this service level is definitely not low for consumption...
The cost of a top private room like this is basically a hundred taels.
If you eat something better or strange, then you won't count it.
But it is precisely because of this that all merchants who come to Haicheng are proud to be able to come to Haicheng Hotel for a big meal.
This has also made Haicheng Hotel extremely prosperous and is also a place for various high-end news.
As the atmosphere became more and more comfortable, Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan, Zhang Baozhu and others all drank some wine. Zhu Mai also wanted to try it, but she was finally seized by Empress Zhou and scolded her.
However, although Zhu Mai knew that Empress Zhou was right, she still exclaimed at Xu Changqing in grievance and kept making small moves at Xu Changqing under the table, either pinching Xu Changqing or twisting it.
This left Empress Zhou and others speechless.
Xu Changqing's doting on Zhu Mai is a bit out of the way...
After dinner, Zhu Mai started acting coquettishly with Xu Changqing again. She didn't want to go back to sleep tonight, so she insisted on staying in the Haicheng Hotel and staying in the legendary sea view suite.
Xu Changqing was prepared for this and was busy asking someone to make arrangements.
Zhang Baozhu originally wanted to go back, but before she could speak, she was pulled away by Zhu Mei.
Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan were leaving, but Xu Changqing smiled: "Empress, Concubine, don't worry for now. I have something to do with you two."
Concubine Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She understood her position very well at this time. To put it bluntly, having a good meal and a place to live is already amazing, so how could she and Zhaoren survive?
But Xu Changqing obviously refused to let her go, so she had no choice but to be a little cautious and let the maid take Zhaoren down to rest first.
