Chapter 333: Obtaining 6 pounds of catfish flesh and blood
"But in order to facilitate farming, most of the people in the surrounding areas exist in the form of villages and towns, so the residents are relatively scattered, which leads to many problems."
"For example, medical resources are relatively scarce, floods are frequent, the people's education level is quite low, and other supplies except agricultural products are in short supply."
"Salt, cloth, ironware, etc. all rely on foreign merchant ships for transportation, so the prices are extremely high. In addition, the previous taxes are more than twice as high as elsewhere, so the people's lives are still difficult!"
When Jiang Li heard that the people living along the water-rich Dongting Lake were facing so many difficulties, he immediately wrote down these problems and promised to find a way to solve them upon his return before sending them away.
After they left, Jiang Li returned to the tent and carefully thought about how to solve these problems, and this thinking took him several hours.
At this time, someone outside the tent suddenly reported, "Commander, the monks from the Supernatural Bureau said that they have already dealt with the catfish spirit's body, and they asked if you want to go and take a look!"
When Jiang Li heard this, he immediately left the tent and went to the place where the body was to be dissected.
When he looked, he saw that the catfish spirit had been completely decomposed. Only a skeleton was left on the ground, and a large amount of fish skin, meat, skull and fins were piled up on the side.
At this time, a monk from the Supernatural Bureau came forward with a list and reported, "Commander, the body of the catfish spirit has been processed. All its information is recorded in the book. Please check it out!"
As he said that, he handed the list to Jiang Li with both hands, and after he took it, he was immediately stunned by this guy.
It turned out that the list contained all the information about the catfish spirit's corpse. The first sentence was, "Dongting Lake catfish spirit, the number of years of cultivation is unknown, but it is estimated that it has been cultivating for several hundred years!"
"Then I recorded its specific data, including its body length of 9.2 meters and weight of 8,740 kilograms. The blood, flesh and skin after dissection weighed a total of 6,100 kilograms, and its bones and internal organs weighed more than 2,000 kilograms."
Jiang Li looked at the data and took a deep breath. He had previously estimated that this thing was only seven or eight meters long, but now he found that it was actually over nine meters long and weighed more than four tons.
Then I thought about it again. Mo Ying had said before that this guy had true dragon blood. Could it be that this guy was born to the Dragon King of Dongting Lake and the catfish spirit? After all, dragons are inherently lustful!
But even though he thought so, he had no evidence and it was not easy to make up stories, so he did not publicize it.
After looking at the divided materials, Jiang Li handed the small storage bag to the people from the Supernatural Bureau and asked them to pack up the materials that could be used by the Supernatural Bureau and immediately take a car back to the Bureau to avoid them being spoiled and wasted.
Several people from the Supernatural Bureau took the order and immediately began to count the materials. After searching through them, they actually found that most of the materials, including the bones, had been taken away.
Seeing that they didn't take much of the fish, Jiang Li ordered them to pack another 3,500 kilograms of fish and take it back to feed the spiritual chickens, spiritual beasts, and the young six-winged centipedes.
As for the remaining two thousand kilograms of meat and one or two hundred kilograms of blood, they were naturally left to Mo Ying.
After packing up, Jiang Li sent several vehicles, dozens of soldiers and several monks back.
Seeing these people leave, Mo Ying couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately crawled over to complain, "Master, what are you doing? It's such a pity to let them take away all the flesh, blood and fish skin!"
"If I eat it, my cultivation level will definitely increase significantly!"
Jiang Li heard this but said unhappily: "You just know how to eat. Don't I still have more than 2,000 kilograms of flesh and blood left in me?"
"After we explore the Dragon Palace, I'll let you eat as much as you can until you die of fullness!"
Of course Mo Ying saw the blood and flesh left on the ground, but it just didn't want to see so many things being taken away, so it complained.
But Jiang Li didn't have time to tell it this at this time. "My fellow villagers said earlier that in addition to the catfish spirit, there is also a big turtle in the water. Did you find anything when you went down there?"
Mo Ying shook his huge head when he heard this, "No, after I went into the water, I sensed a strong evil spirit, so I went straight to the source of the evil spirit, and when I dived underwater, I found this catfish spirit!"
"After fighting with it underwater for a while, I deliberately exposed myself to be bitten by it, then I turned around and led it out of the water. I didn't see any turtle spirit during the process!"
After hearing what it said, Jiang Li was a little troubled. If he didn't know where it was, it might mistake it for an invader after he went into the water and launch a surprise attack on him. That would be bad.
Although with my current level of cultivation, I don't have to worry about being attacked by this old turtle, but if I were really attacked by it, should I kill it or not?
When he thought of this, he felt a little confused. It was not good to kill him or not to kill him. He couldn't figure it out so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, judging from the injuries on Mo Ying's body, it would take a while for him to heal.
I have to wait at least two or three days. During this time, I can ask someone to find the old turtle, and then I won’t have to worry about it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li no longer cared about anything else. He fed Mo Ying all the 100 to 200 kilograms of blood, and fed it more than 300 kilograms of fish meat. After telling it to refine it on its own, he turned and came to the tent where the telegraph machine was installed.
He instructed the radio operator to send a message to Nanxi County, asking them to immediately mobilize doctors and medicines to treat the local people first.
Then he ordered the Government Affairs Office to immediately organize the counties closer to Dongting Lake, mobilize personnel and materials to the vicinity of Dongting Lake, and set up several shops specializing in selling cloth, salt, and ironware to improve the lives of local people.
He also specifically instructed to establish several more trade routes specifically for purchasing various agricultural and aquatic products.
Regardless of whether it is a bumper harvest or a reduced harvest, the purchase price must be slightly higher than normal years, so as to avoid the situation of buying low and selling high due to price fluctuations, which would hurt people's hearts.
In addition, plans to build living facilities such as schools, airports, banks, hospitals, and various shops and markets must also be arranged closely.
After this series of orders were issued, Jiang Li ordered his men to repeat them several times before turning around and returning to the tent.
After he returned, he arranged for people to look for the old turtle. As a result, he mobilized thirty or forty merchant and cargo ships, plus one or two hundred fishing boats. They searched the lake for three days, but did not find even a single hair of the turtle.
Seeing that he couldn't find the patient, Jiang Li simply stopped looking. He arranged for the newly arrived doctor to go door to door to provide free medical treatment to the villagers and townspeople in the surrounding area. Then he led his men to the center of the lake again.
Speaking of these three days, the person who had the best time must be Mo Ying, because this guy relied on his huge body and strong stomach acid to refine a thousand kilograms of catfish flesh and blood.
