After working hard for a few days, he finally prepared the prerequisites for building a fishing boat.
Li Sheng was filled with emotions. He immediately gathered his manpower and focused on building the fishing boat.
Because there were no professional shipyards, the largest fishing boat they built was only five tons.
To be honest, a five-ton small fishing boat did not have any technical content to speak of.
However, in order to build this five-ton fishing boat, Li Sheng had paid a huge price.
In order to make iron tools for shipbuilding, he opened a mine.
In order to obtain materials for building ships, he built a lumber mill.
In order to quickly dry the wood used for shipbuilding, he built a brick factory.
In order for the fishing boat to travel further and match the sails, he sent a large number of people to collect fiber plants and weave sails.
in order
A poor fishing village had been turned into a small industrial base by Li Sheng!
They can make steel, weave cloth, dry salt, bake bricks, and build ships.
Although it was still in the craftsmanship stage, it was a qualitative breakthrough for the territory.
Being able to make steel meant that he could produce iron tools and weapons on his own.
Being able to weave meant that the textile industry had started.
Being able to make bricks meant that the territory had the ability to build strong fortifications.
Being able to build ships meant that the territory had the ability to expand into the ocean.
.....
All these changes gave Li Sheng a sense of accomplishment.
It was also seen by the villagers of the fishing village.
He had witnessed with his own eyes, or even personally created, the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the poor fishing village.
This made all the villagers realize that Li Sheng was serious about rebelling against the Qing Dynasty!
It was even more reliable!
Otherwise, they would not have stayed in a small fishing boat to carry out large-scale construction!
Since ancient times, destruction was easy, but construction was difficult.
Whether or not a faction had a future and ambition depended on whether or not they were willing to spend a huge price and resources to build it.
It was obvious that Li Sheng was building his territory at all costs.
In a short period of time, the small fishing village had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the hearts of the villagers had also undergone drastic changes.
The villagers who used to look at Li Sheng with reverence, fear, and even hatred.
Gradually, a trace of respect and worship appeared in his eyes as he looked at Li Sheng.
The hearts of the people gradually returned.
Li Sheng naturally saw all of this, but he was not ecstatic.
With the Dragon Slaying Art, he had expected the changes in the villagers 'hearts.
Human hearts were important, but not that important.
His goal was clear and his will was firm.
As long as he continued to develop and strengthen his territory, he would resolutely fight to the end.
Then, the people of the Divine Prefecture would definitely side with him!
The will of the people was inevitable.
What was the greatest dream of the people of China?
That was to have dignity and to be able to eat and wear warm clothes.
They would side with whoever could satisfy these two points!
As long as the general direction did not change, one day, he would get everything he wanted.
The prerequisite for this was that they could gain a firm foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula and resist the first large-scale counterattack of the Manchu Tartars.
And now, he was far from being able to stand firm.
They still had to race against time against the Manchu Tartars.
Time passed quietly. Under Li Sheng's concentrated efforts, only three days had passed.
The first batch of 10 five-ton small fishing boats was completed.
Of course, because they were in a hurry, the quality of this batch of small fishing boats was definitely not very good.
Since the main material was wood, naturally dried wood was needed to make the fishing boat sturdy and durable.
In order to speed up the time and build the fishing boat as soon as possible, Li Sheng adopted the method of drying.
Such a fishing boat would not take long.
But to Li Sheng, none of this was important.
If he could use these small fishing boats for a few months, it would be a victory for him!
When the first batch of fishing boats was built, Li Sheng immediately spent nearly 10,000 grains to recruit 30 fishermen.
Fishermen were a little more expensive than farmers, but not by much.
Thirty fishermen, three for each fishing boat.
Then, he brought the fishing net that had already been produced onto the boat!
Pushing the boat into the water!
Yang Fan, set sail!
Ten small fishing boats left the dock and drifted into the depths of the sea.
"It's a success!"
" We succeeded!!"
Ten small fishing boats successfully entered the water and sailed on the sea.
Immediately, all the villagers in the fishing village cheered excitedly!
It was not just that they had also worked hard and contributed their strength, but they also felt a sense of accomplishment.
Instead, they were all very clear that with the current situation of the territory, just the food seized from the old Tartar Da Er Ha's house wouldn't be able to support them for long.
Famine was deeply engraved in their bones.
Now, the fishing boat was in the water. What did this mean?
This meant that there would be an endless stream of fish!
They no longer needed to starve!
With food in his hands, he did not panic!
What was even more amazing was that the sea where the Golden State Guard was located was one of the few ice-free ports in the north.
They were not afraid that the winter would be too cold and freeze the sea surface, preventing them from fishing.
This meant that as long as the fishing boat was on the sea, they could catch fish every day.
Food was always the most reassuring thing!
At this moment, no one blamed Li Sheng for being cold and heartless.
Everyone looked at Li Sheng's young face with admiration.
The entire fishing village was cheering and boiling.
Li Sheng, however, was calm. The first batch of ten fishing boats successfully went into the sea, but it did not make him ecstatic.
He was waiting for the harvest of this batch of fishing boats.
Due to the limited raw materials, the wood used on the fishing boats and even the fishing nets were all of poor quality.
He didn't even dare to boldly guess that the fish had a good harvest.
He only hoped that developing the fishing industry would be able to maintain the balance of the territory's food supply.
It would be even better if he could have a surplus so that he could recruit people every day.
The current him was very cautious, afraid that he would fall into the abyss if he took a wrong step.
In this cautious and nervous state, the sea breeze blew for nearly half a day.
The ten small fishing boats that had gone out to sea had returned.
Li Sheng did not run over to check immediately. Instead, he waited quietly.
Not long after, cheers rang out.
"My lord, great news, great news!”
"The first fishing trip by ten fishing boats yielded a harvest of fifty thousand jin!!”
"A bumper harvest!”
Accompanied by the cheers of the armed system farmers protecting him, Li Sheng couldn't remain calm after hearing them.
50,000 catties of fish in the first round?
Didn't this mean that each fishing boat had an average harvest of nearly five thousand catties of fish?!
How could such a broken fishing boat and net have such a harvest?!
This made him take a deep breath!
In this era, the abundance of fish in the ocean was beyond his imagination!
It seemed that the first step to develop the territory into the marine fishery was the right one!
