Chapter 5 Preparation

After listening to Yang Dazhu's words, Yuer thought about it and felt that the rent requested by the traveler was fair, but for a while, he did not figure out what method to pay the rent. Yang Dazhu and others were also in their worries, and obviously were also considering what method is more appropriate to pay the rent.

In the end, the more shrewd Lin Shi made a suggestion: "Father and mother, don't we have much money left in our family? In this case, it is better for us to choose the method of dividing the rent. With this method, we can rent the seaweed reef without paying the cost first, and then pay the rent to the tourists after harvesting the seaweed next winter.

Lin has been following Liu in charge of the housework, and she is still relatively clear about the economic situation of the Yang family. Therefore, her words awakened Liu now: "The third daughter-in-law is right. If we adopt the fixed-rent system, we have to take out the rent first, although ten pieces of money per piece of seaweed reef are not too much. Many, but if we rent a ten-yuan seaweed reef at once, we can't get so much rent.

Lin and Liu's words are very reasonable, so people soon thought that they could only use the method of rent collection, otherwise they could not rent too many seaweed reefs. If the seaweed reef is not rented much, the amount of seaweed harvested in the coming year will not reach a single amount. If this amount is less, the money earned will naturally be less.

After all, the seaweed reef raised by fishermen is sold to merchants who specialize in collecting seaweed in large quantities, and they transport it to various places to sell to dignitaries, and this seaweed will be more rare and sold at a good price only when it is away from the southern coast.

And when everyone felt that it was most appropriate to divide the rent, the fish asked Liu without warning, "Mom, if we only rent five pieces of seaweed reef downstream, is the spare money in the family enough?"

"Ten pieces of money for each seaweed reef, five yuan is fifty yuan," Liu first silently calculated in his heart, and then replied with some embarrassment, "There is not much spare money left at home. We have to make some to cope with the chewing of a big family. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to make up fifty pieces."

These fifty pieces of silver are fifty taels of silver, and it is normal that the Yang family can't take them out. The fish has been prepared for this long time, so the fish was not too surprised after listening to Liu's words.

The fish thought for a moment and immediately gave a second plan: "Dad, please take time to go to the house and say that we will change the fixed rent of the transaction amount in the second year and ask them if they are in charge?"

Before Yang Dazhu answered, Liu asked puzzledly, "Sister, why are we in such trouble? Isn't it good to use one method all the time?"

There is a reason why the fish did this, so she quickly replied slowly, "If the seaweed we raise grows well and harvests a lot, the price will be higher. At that time, if we give the tourists a fixed amount of money no matter how much money we sell, won't it be that we earn?"

This is also the reason why the fish do not want to collect rent by sharing. If they collect rent according to their share, the Yang family will harvest more seaweed and pay more rent to the tourists in the future. Of course, this is also relatively. If the Yang family harvests less seaweed in the future, the rent paid to the You family will naturally be less.

However, the fish is confident that the seaweed will have a bumper harvest, so they want to adopt the method of giving the You family a fixed amount of rent, regardless of whether the Yang family's harvest is good or bad.

And Yang Dazhu saw that Yuer was full of confidence, so he didn't say anything more. He soon set out to go to the You family. When he came back, he also brought good news - the You family agreed to the rent payment method proposed by Yuer and urged the Yang family to complete the procedures earlier. Their family moved to the city to enjoy happiness.

Since Youjia has agreed, the next step is to prepare the lease deed. You have to ask a trustworthy tooth to help with these things. After all, in addition to help with the procedures, the tooth must also be a witness of both sides, so as to avoid which party will repent or have any dispute afterwards and make it clear to each other.

And the fish is not the first time to deal with Yayu, so she quickly went to the city to invite Zhang Yayu, who helped them buy a house last time. After all, with the first friendship, the fish took care of Zhang Yayu's business and let her earn another lot of money. The Yayan will do his best to help the fish deal with the matter. It's done.

And Zhang Yayu took a lot of effort, and the procedures related to the Yang You family and renting the seaweed reef were quickly completed, and both sides of the deed drawn up by Zhang Yayu also put their fingerprints on them. As soon as the fingerprint was pressed, the Yang family officially rented the ten pieces of seaweed reef of the You family.

As soon as the seaweed reef was rented, the fish immediately began to arrange the next matters. First, they quietly told Yang Sanlang to go to the city to buy some things needed to raise seaweed, and then got into the bookstore and began to sort out the things to pay attention to when raising seaweed and the methods they were about to use.

Yuer knew that in her previous era, some scholars liked to use "sea as the field" to describe marine culture, and the seaweed reef standing in the sea is the best example. Because not only the land on land needs to be cultivated, but the seaweed reef in the sea also needs similar work, but the two methods of "cultivation" are a little different...

As early as 300 years ago, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, seaweed farming took place along the coast of Zhangpu. Every year at the beginning of autumn, fishermen who raised seaweed will use fire to clean the rock surface of the reef, or sprinkle lime water on the reef to destroy the altar. The purpose of this move is to eliminate miscellaneous algae, increase the rough surface of the reef, and let it float with the sea. Seaweed seeds are easier to attach to the reef.

That is to say, seaweed seedlings similar to seeds are derived from the sea and will float around with the sea. As a result, many seaweed seedlings fall on the reef at high tide. The rougher the surface of the reef, the more free the shellfish, miscellaneous algae and other things are, the easier it is for seaweed seedlings to cling to it and not be brought back to the sea by the sea. After the seaweed seedlings are attached to the reef, they will slowly grow into lush seaweed leaves after photosynthesis and seawater soaking.

This is the principle of early seaweed farming and the reason why fishermen sprinkled lime powder on the reef to make the surface of the reef rougher.

However, at the beginning, fishermen only knew how to manually manage the seaweed attached to the seaweed altar (rock reef) in the intertidal zone. Later, they gradually learned to use lime to clear the altar to produce seaweed, and finally developed into explosive altars to expand breeding and cement altar farming. These methods have been used.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, where the fish are located, everyone is still in the stage of manual management and passive seedling. They have not yet reached the stage of splashing lime to clear the altar, and they don't know that lime is beneficial to raising seaweed. It is also because of this that fish can take the lead and be the first person to eat crabs, using lime to increase the production of seaweed.

To put it bluntly, this "vegetable farming method" is very simple, and it is not difficult to operate. As long as such a key thing as lime is prepared, so strictly speaking, this method can only be regarded as a semi-automatic breeding method.

The fish rented the seaweed reef in the downstream house and wanted to use this method to raise seaweed. Because of this, the fish asked Yang Sanlang to buy lime powder early in the morning and prepare it, and told Yang Sanlang not to let people know that he bought lime powder, otherwise in the future, people just need to inquire, "Spray lime powder to increase seaweed seedlings. The secret of quantity will be known.

However, after all these things are ready, we still have to wait for time, because the seaweed reef in the downstream has just been harvested, and the seaweed will not slowly start to grow until the beginning of autumn and about July.

At present, it is not long after the Spring Festival, and it is still very early before the beginning of autumn, which is a gap period for raising seaweed. However, in the first year, the Yang family adopted the split-lease method, because it doesn't matter if the gap period is long.

However, the fish can't waste this short period of half a year. After the fish took care of the vegetable altar breeding method from beginning to end and confirmed that it could be implemented, they changed to the "half floating raft breeding method" instead. After all, if the Yang family really wants to break a unique way to get rich, they have to rely on the "half-floating raft breeding method"!

After carefully considering the two methods, the fish soon found that whether it is the "vegetable farming method" or the "semi-float farming method", their common point is that they must obtain seaweed seeds from the sea, and the number of seeds is the key to whether the seaweed grows lush or scarce in the future!

The specific operation method of the "semi-floating raft breeding method" in modern times is to fix bamboo curtains or nylon mesh curtains on intertidal beaches with floats, floats, anchor cables and piles. After fixing it, the raft will float on the surface with the tide at high tide, and the raft will be supported by feet on the beach at low tide.

To put it bluntly, this operation method is to put semi-floating net curtains on the beach at low tide, so that these net curtains can intercept the seaweed seedlings sent to the beach by seawater at high tide. That is to say, this net curtain is equivalent to a reef that will also be submerged by the sea water at high tide. Both of them are "attachment bases" (purple) that let seaweed seedlings adhere to. The sustenance of vegetable growth).

As long as the fish can find a way to make the net curtain float when the tide rises, and can not be swept away by the tide and hang it in place when the tide recedes, it can achieve the purpose of relying on the net curtain to obtain more seaweed seedlings, which is also a simple restoration of the "semi-floating raft breeding method".

This seems to be very simple, but it is not so easy to do. Fish have to repeatedly set up shelves and hang mesh curtains on the beach for testing, and when this shelf is stable, it has to be considered whether the curtain can be attached to a large number of seaweed seedlings.

But fortunately, Yuer has Yang Liulang, a brother who specializes in bamboo products. After Yuer explained the requirements to Yang Liulang, Yang Liulang helped make several supporting shelves, and finally lived up to the bamboo shelves entrusted by the fish and made a bamboo shelf that can be deeply inserted into the beach and firmly fixed...
