Chapter 130 Sitting on Treasure Mountain

When Yu Xiaotian saw this scene, he suddenly patted his head and laughed: "This is really a place to break through iron shoes without any effort! We really don't know about Baoshan! Why are you worried about oil? Isn't there a big bucket of oil in front of you?"

Yu Xiaotian's performance was shocked, which shocked his subordinates and couldn't figure out what he was talking about for a moment, so Liu Laoliu quickly asked, "Xiaotian, did you think of a good idea again? Come and listen to it!"

Yu Xiaotian pointed to the sea in front of him and smiled at Liu Laoliu, "We are worried about the use of oil, but we forget that there is so much oil in the sea. What do you think it is?"

Liu Laoliu looked in the direction of Yu Xiaotian's finger and immediately said, "Isn't that a whale?"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes! It's a whale! As long as you catch this guy and come up, are you still worried that there is no oil available? And as long as whales can be caught, everyone will have endless meat in the future. Whale skin can also be made into leather clothing, whale whiskers can also be used to make bow strings, and incompleted whale oil can also be used as candles, soap and steelmaking..."

Yu Xiaotian danced to the whale that appeared in the distance of the sea and said to Liu Laoliu and others.

Everyone was stunned. Whales are often seen by people who are active in the sea, and there are many whales in the nearby sea, and because of their huge size, they all have a sense of awe. Yu Xiaotian said that it has a lot of grease, and of course, everyone believes it.

In addition, everyone can basically understand what Yu Xiaotian said about the other benefits of whales, but some people like to drill into the horns. For example, Liu Wang, a boy, waits for Yu Xiaotian to ask after saying: "Steer! What kind of soap did you just talk about?

After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian knew that he had just been complacent and casually said what he had only had in later generations, so he had to hesitate for a while and fooled Liu Wang.

But what Liu Laoliu continued to say made Yu Xiaotian a little difficult again: "Steer, aren't you confused? The whale is so big that none of us have caught this thing. It's easy to say, but I'm afraid it's not easy to catch that thing!

As long as our boat is hit by a whale, I'm afraid it can break up our ship. Even if it is swept by the tail of that thing, I guess it can't stand it! Who will catch that kind of thing! This is a joke, isn't it?"

After listening to Yu Xiaotian, he also felt that it was really difficult to do. Although there were many old fishermen under his men, these people usually caught some sea fish at sea, but no one had ever killed whales, and the whaling industry has never been developed in Chinese history and has not formed an industry at all. The tradition of eating whale meat, so few people know how to hunt whales in this era.

Although whaling is very helpful in solving many of his problems, at least someone can do it! If you take people to hunt whales, you may not be able to catch whales, but you will sink the ship, which is not worth the loss.

After listening to Liu Laoliu's words, Yu Xiaotian calmed down as if he had been splashed with cold water on his head. He waved his hand to let the idle people do their work first. He took Liu Laoliu and Guo Fu to walk by the slide by the seaside and continued to find ways.

But the idea of whaling is like a devil. Once it comes to his mind, he immediately controls his mind.

He didn't think of this before, but today, after thinking about it, the various benefits of whaling immediately flashed into his mind. So many benefits are really a kind of **.

At present, although he is doing the pirate industry, after all, he still lives by robbing and is still the enemy of the orthodox court government of this era. Sooner or later, when he goes too much, he will attract the attention of the government or the court. It is inevitable that he will conflict with the imperial government, and it is not impossible to send troops to suppress him. Yes.

In addition, in the deepest part of his heart is still a little resistant to the hijacking of ships. It is to rely on killing more goods to satisfy his accumulation of wealth, which is too bloody.

So he often remembers that when he has the conditions, he also has to think of some ways to operate. Business is inevitable. Historically, it was a power group formed by many maritime thieves in the late Ming Dynasty and even other dynasties, and maritime trade accounted for a large part of their business.

However, the competition in maritime trade is also very fierce. If he does not have enough control to form a monopoly, it is not easy to open up the situation. Therefore, if he can start from the foundation and produce some goods that others do not have or are scarce, he can find strange goods and make a lot of money.

And whaling is also very emotionally resistant in later generations. The long-term excessive whaling of human beings has made whales, a strange creature of nature, on the verge of extinction. In the old time and space where he lived, only the extremely turbid countries in the east and overseas countries in the world are still engaged in Norway. In the whaling industry, most other countries have banned whaling.

From the perspective of environmental protection, he does not like whaling, but the current era is not the old time and space he used to live in, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The sea whaling industry is still underdeveloped, and the number of whales in the ocean is still very large. Since he has been to sea, he can often see a large number of whales. It can be seen that the whales in the ocean are far from endangered.

Therefore, it is completely acceptable to hunt some whales reasonably and make full use of their things to meet their present needs. As long as this industry does not develop a lot, it will not have much impact on ecology and the survival of whales.

So if he is limited to the way of thinking of future generations to look at the current era and environment, it can only be said that he is a pedantic person. At present, the first thing he should consider is how to strengthen himself as soon as possible and gain more wealth. As for protecting whales, it should not be his now. Issues considered.

So he sat down on the slide and began to carefully search his mind for all kinds of information about whaling...

Although China in the old time and space completely banned whaling as early as the 1980s, there are still many things to learn from in various TV news, documentaries and some literature.

In particular, he remembers watching a documentary about some events related to whalers that have happened in history, which details how Western countries carry out whaling activities and methods in history, which provides him with useful experience.

Although whaling is not a simple thing, as far as he knows, humans have begun to hunt whales very early to obtain food, oil and even leather to satisfy human life.

In ancient times, ancient people in some places could hunt whales. Now at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although China has stagnated the development of sea ships due to the sea ban, and even retreated, what they can use now is still far more than the technology and equipment possessed by human beings in ancient times. If he is now If you can't even catch whales, you will really lose face.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian immediately regained his confidence. Everything is man-made, only unexpected, nothing can't be done! No matter what, you have to do it! So he immediately stood up and laughed to himself and said, "Daes, I finally climbed to the top of the food chain. How can I be vegetarian every day? I want to eat meat!" After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the stockade, leaving Liu Laoliu and Guo Fu looking at his back confusedly.

After a bitter smile, Liu Laoliu shook his head and said to Guo Fu, "Our steering wheel must have made up his mind. He has this temper. As long as he thinks of something, he has to do it. Now we will have a lot of fun! If we don't make it, we can really get this done!"
