Li Shimin

"Back to Master, Qingzhou is near the sea, Zhechong Mansion should have a big fishing net!"

Cheng Chusi said hastily.

On the side, Li Yuan also nodded.

Obviously, this group of people has a love for fishing.

Seeing this, Li Xuan also became interested.

"In that case, then I'll go to Zhechong Mansion to see what kind of big boats and fishing nets there are!"

To tell the truth, he asked Li Shimin to build a giant steel ship so that he could go fishing in the sea.

"hey-hey……"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others were overjoyed.

A group of people got on their horses and headed towards the city.

After Li Xuan waited for the group to leave, the fishing boats floating on the sea slowly rowed towards the shore.

……

Qingzhou, Zhechong Mansion.

Li Xuan and the others went straight into the main hall of Zhechong Mansion without hindrance.

A moment later, a burly general in silver-white armor and a square helmet walked in quickly, and saluted Li Xuan directly.

"The last general, Cheng Duanbo, see His Royal Highness King Jin, I have seen you young men!"

"Lieutenant Cheng, there is no need to be polite!"

Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and then said directly: "This king is here this time because he has something to ask Captain Cheng for help."

"To tell you the truth, your majesty, when your majesty came to Qingzhou, your majesty gave a secret order to the last general. Whenever your majesty needs it, all the people in Zhechong's house must do their best to satisfy your majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo hastily cupped his hands and said.

"The king will be impolite!"

Li Xuan's face brightened, and then he stated his future intentions and requirements.

"My lord, there are five seagoing ships in Zhechong Mansion of Qingzhou, and three of them are giant ships!"

Cheng Duanbo quickly said, "As for fishing nets, there are some, but we have never caught those big fish that are as big as small boats in the sea."

"That kind of big fish has already become fine in the water, how can you catch it so easily?"

Li Xuan didn't take it seriously, chuckled lightly, and said, "Go, go and see your fishing net!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo responded directly.

The big ships in Zhechong Mansion also docked by the sea, hidden in a bay, less than five miles away from the shipyard.

Therefore, Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and others had no choice but to come to the sea again.

"Ok?"

Coming to the beach, Cheng Chusi was taken aback again when he looked at the empty sea.

"Chu Si, but what's the problem?"

Cheng Duanbo's expression tightened, and he asked hastily.

"Uncle Sixteen, Master and I just saw a few small boats fishing on the sea, why did they disappear all of a sudden?"

Cheng Chusi asked with some doubts.

"There was a lot of wind and waves at sea in the afternoon, and those fishermen all went back!"

Cheng Duanbo was taken aback, and replied slowly.

"But it's not even noon yet!" Cheng Chusi asked again.

"That was scared away by you!"

On the side, Li Xuan said angrily.

Afterwards, he said to Cheng Duanbo: "Cheng Duwei don't pay attention to this bastard, go to work first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo didn't dare to continue to explain, and hurriedly led Li Xuan and others to a giant ship in the barracks.

……

Chapter 415 Going to sea!

"Do you use this kind of net to catch fish?"

Looking at the ball of fishing net Cheng Duanbo took out, Li Xuan almost thought he was on a small fishing boat.

"Your Majesty, don't look at the fishing net as small as this one, but when it's unfolded, it's as big as a foot."

Cheng Duanbo quickly explained.

"This king knows!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and then continued: "It's really overkill to use such a small fishing net for such a huge ship.

Is there a thick hemp rope on the boat? "

"Go back to the king, yes!"

Cheng Duanbo quickly replied.

"You find hundreds of thick hemp ropes, and use them to weave a huge fishing net. After it is unfolded, it will be at least half the size of the giant ship!"

Li Xuan said.

"So big?"

Cheng Duanbo was taken aback.

However, Li Yuan, Li Baoding and others on the side were delighted.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded, "In addition, on both sides of these fishing nets, a few more thick hemp ropes should be left, and these thick hemp ropes must also be left seven to eight feet long.

Also, on the top of these fishnets, there is a row of objects that can be tied to make it float on the sea surface, and the bottom end needs to be tied with some objects that can make it sink in the water! "

"My lord..."

Hearing this request, Cheng Duanbo was dumbfounded.

"If you don't know, you can go to those soldiers. If you can't, then go to those fishermen, especially those old fishermen. The bigger the boat, the better!

After finishing the fishing nets required by the king, the king will take two blue ships to go fishing tomorrow. Each huge ship needs at least ten veteran fishermen. The king will give you a day to do it tomorrow. Make arrangements for the king.

As for how much money you need to spend, you can ask Cheng Chusi for it. When this guy came, he brought a lot of good things! "

Li Xuan ordered directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo bowed his hands solemnly.

The items Li Xuan asked for were very simple to him.

Only Cheng Chusi looked unhappy.

"Master, the two carts of good things I brought are all presents from Auntie to the young men of the Cui family!"

"Why, you still want me to pay for it?"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi again.

"Hey, how dare I..."

Cheng Chusi smiled apologetically.

However, Li Xuan has already gone far.

Behind him, Cheng Duanbo quickly arranged a group of people to work according to Li Xuan's request.

As for these things that Li Xuan asked for, in less than an afternoon, they were heard by all the big and small forces in Qingzhou.

And when they heard that Li Xuan was going to take a group of disciples to go fishing in the sea, everyone chuckled lightly and didn't care too much.

They have heard too much about fishing.

Only Cui Hongmo found Li Xuan excitedly.

"Are you going too?"

After listening to Cui Hongmo's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

"Returning to the king, my servant has never had a chance to go fishing in a big boat since he was a child. Therefore, I also want to see it!" Cui Hongmo explained.

"So, you bring two people who are familiar with water, don't fall into the water and get out!"

Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you king!"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo was overjoyed.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others who had been excited all night got up and urged at the door of Li Xuan's house.

In desperation, Li Xuan could only walk out of the room with sleepy eyes open before the hour.

A group of people headed east in a mighty way.

……

"See His Royal Highness King Jin, I have met several gentlemen!"

Cheng Duanbo was already waiting there with a group of guards at the Navy Bay of Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou.

"Cheng Duwei, the fishing net that the king wants, but has it been made?"

Li Xuan asked directly.

"My lord, the fishing net has been woven. It is eight feet long and eight feet wide. In addition, there are eight arm-thick hemp ropes on both sides of the fishnet, which are also eight feet long!" Cheng Duanbo hurriedly clasped his hands in reply.

"In addition, the general will also find twenty veteran fishermen with the most experience in fishing in Qingzhou!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

He turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, at the end of the group of soldiers, he saw a few old fishermen with old faces and dark skin, looking at them curiously.

After discovering that Li Xuan was watching them, these old fishermen were immediately panic-stricken.

Li Xuan was startled, then clasped his hands together.

"I will rely on you old men a lot when I go fishing in the sea today! No matter how much I fish this time, I will never blame you and others, and will give you a hundred catties of fish per person."

"Don't be so noble, the villain will definitely do his best!"

Among these fishermen, an old fisherman who seemed to have some prestige quickly saluted Li Xuan tremblingly.

In this regard, Li Xuan just cupped his hands and walked directly to the boat.

He was afraid that if he continued to be polite, he would frighten these old fishermen.

Seeing Li Xuan's movements behind him, Xue Rengui quickly brought a hundred guards and followed closely behind.

The remaining [-] personal guards stayed on the shore in case of emergencies.

Soon, the two big ships went directly to the distance one after another.

However, for the safety of everyone, Cheng Duanbo also asked a ship to follow behind them.

But he knew that not only the King Jin was honored on this ship, but there was also a Crown Prince hiding there, and the rest of them were also the eldest sons of the Duke of the Duke.

Everyone can't afford to lose!

Li Baoding's identity as King Huaiwei was known to very few people in the Tang Dynasty, and Cheng Duanbo was obviously not among them.
