Chapter 575: Unexpected Salted Fish Storage [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe]
Finally, Yan Changqing took the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes to a huge cellar.
"This is the fifth small area of the salted fish area - the storage area."
"All the salted fish that was dried in the sun in the fish drying area will be transported to this area for storage."
"And the cellar we are in now is one of the cellars in this storage area."
Yan Changqing pointed to the cellar in front of him and introduced.
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes stood in the cellar and looked around.
All around are huge salted fish glass cabinets that are one foot long, three feet wide and three feet high, filled with various kinds of salted fish, sealed and placed on wooden shelves.
Through those huge salted fish glass cabinets, they can clearly see the situation of the salted fish inside those glass cabinets.
Even those salted fish cabinets are all tightly sealed to ensure that no moisture, or animals like cockroaches or mice can get in.
At the same time, it also ensured that the smell of salted fish inside could not come out, but they could still smell the salty smell of salted fish from the air!!!
It is no exaggeration to say that just by smelling the salty smell of salted fish, they would eat two big bowls of white rice!!!
“How much salted fish is stored in here?!!”
King Qin Zhu Xiang turned his head and asked Yan Changqing who was standing aside.
"In this cellar, there are 10 million kilograms of dried salted fish stored!"
"As for the cellar that stores 10 million kilograms of dried salted fish, there are currently thirteen in the entire storage area!!"
"In the entire storage area, there are currently more than 28.64 million kilograms of salted fish stored!!!"
"However, the fourteenth cellar and the fifteenth cellar will be opened soon."
"It is expected that the two cellars will also be filled."
Yan Changqing pointed to the salted fish glass tank in front of him and said with some emotion.
These more than 128.64 million catties of salted fish were all his efforts in Haizhou City during the past year.
To put it bluntly, if these more than 128,640,000 kilograms of salted fish were sold, [people everywhere in the late Ming Dynasty would be able to buy two thousand salted fish meat per capita.
When the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes heard the figure of more than 128.64 million kilograms, they could no longer maintain their calm expressions.
Everyone couldn't help but walk around, as if they wanted to personally take stock of the cellar containing ten million kilograms of salted fish in front of them.
After all, simply hearing the number of more than 128.64 million catties and actually seeing more than 128.64 million catties of salted fish are two completely different feelings.
If it is the former, the people who hear it will have the same feeling at most - Oh, more than 128.64 million catties of salted fish, so much?!
Then it's gone, and there will be no specific impression in his mind.
But at this moment, there seemed to be countless salted fish glass cabinets in front of me. They told the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes in a simple, crude and straightforward manner, how much there were in ten million kilograms of salted fish!! !
And there are twelve more cellars like this filled with 10 million kilograms of salted fish!!!
Even the fourteenth ten million catties and the fifteenth ten million catties of salted fish cellar will be filled soon!!!
How could Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes calm down?
After a long time, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes came back from all directions in this salty fish place.
Although they wanted to count them all in person, there were too many salted fish glass cabinets in the cellar.
After they enthusiastically counted a thousand salted fish glass cabinets away, they accidentally got distracted and became confused one after another.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan, who returned to his original position, suddenly looked up at Yan Changqing and asked in confusion:
"Sir, why are there only more than 128.64 million catties of salted fish in the entire storage area?!"
"I remember that all the sea salt and salted fish produced in Haizhou City this year were not sold to the outside world. Instead, they were all stored according to what my husband said before.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't there be 360 million catties of salted fish?!!"
"After all, about 30 million kilograms of marine fish are caught in a month."
"Why are there only about one-third of the salted fish reserves now?!!"
The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Di and other princes on the side also turned their heads to look at Yan Changqing when they heard the words of Jin Wang Zhu Fan.
Of course, they don't think Changqing is corrupt.
After all, it was Yan Changqing who initiated such big deals as sea salt and salted fish worth tens of billions.
Whoever is corrupt, Yan Changqing cannot be corrupt.
What's more, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji is also watching here.
Even if Zhou Wang Zhuji wanted to hide corruption and not report it, there would still be spies from the Jin Yiwei stationed here by their father to monitor secretly.
If the amount of corruption is small, it may be possible to hide it in the past.
But if the amount of corruption increases, it will be impossible to hide it from their father.
However, the amount of 360 million catties of salted fish just mentioned by Jin King Zhu Fan is also very reasonable.
Therefore, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Di and other princes are also very interested in the question of where the other 240 million kilograms of salted fish that disappeared went.
Hearing Jin Wang Zhu Fan's questioning words, Yan Changqing rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell on Zhu Jixi, the son of Jin Wang Zhu Fan, who came in with them and said:
"Ji Xi, tell your father why!!!"
.......***..........
Immediately, the eyes of the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all focused on Zhu Jixi.
"Father, you calculated based on the fact that there are 30 million kilograms of marine fish caught every month for twelve months in a year."
"But my husband and I only came to Haizhou City in March this year, which means that there was no 30 million kilograms of marine fish caught in the first two months."
"Then we came to Haizhou City, and as soon as we arrived, there were 30 million kilograms of sea fish to be caught immediately.
"In the first one or two months, our marine fish catches were only from hundreds of thousands to one million catties."
“Later, my husband and other shipwrights modified the large fishing boats in the fleet one by one, adding the function of fishing nets and trawling.
“The number of marine fish we catch has slowly increased from one million jins per month to millions or tens of millions of jins.
0
“It wasn’t until August this year that we completed the renovation of all large fishing boats in Tianming City that met the renovation requirements.
"Only since September have we been able to steadily catch 30 million kilograms of marine fish every month."
"Furthermore, when the scales and internal organs of marine fish are removed and finally dried into salted fish, the weight is usually only about 50-60% of the original size. In other words, for ten kilograms of marine fish, the final dried salted fish weighs only about five or six kilograms. ”
"If we use the 360 million catties of sea fish mentioned by my father to calculate, the final amount of dried salted fish is probably about 180 million to 216 million catties." 1
"Then subtract the two-month blank period of fishing and catching marine fish before we come to Haizhou City."
"And before September, the number of fish caught in the sea will be less than 30 million kilograms during the ship's renovation period."
"In the end, the amount of salted fish we accumulated was the amount of more than 128.64 million catties of salted fish that Mr. said."
Zhu Jixi clasped his fingers and explained in a crisp and clear voice in an orderly and unhurried manner.
After listening to Zhu Jixi's explanation, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all had expressions of sudden realization on their faces.
They really didn't know that after sea fish is dried and made into salted fish, the weight will be only half of its original size.
At the same time, we have also forgotten that the 30 million kilograms of marine fish caught was not there from the beginning, but a process of gradual improvement.
"That's very well said. Father understands!!!"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan rubbed his son Zhu Ji's little head dotingly, and at the same time he praised him without hesitation.
