Li Shimin

There is also Li Yuan, an old bear, although Cheng Duanbo doesn't know him, but Cheng Chusi and others see Li Yuan like a mouse seeing a cat, and he can also see that his background is not simple.

But it never occurred to him that the old man who was not serious all day long would be the Supreme Emperor.

"Xu Lao Si, how far is it from the land full of fish?"

After driving for a while, the coastline had turned into a straight line, so Li Xuan asked the terrified old fisherman beside him.

After listening, Xu Laosi hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Xuan in return.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the villain is right, those schools of fish are not far ahead!"

Fourth Xu was the old fisherman who had just answered Li Xuan's message on the shore.

Since childhood, I have been fishing in this sea area with my parents.Now at home, there is also a fishing boat five or six feet in size, which can go out to sea to catch fish from time to time, but their boat is still a bit small, and they dare not go too far.

But even so, Mr. Xu relies on fishing to sell money every year, and he can also support his family in Hukou. Among the fishermen in Qingzhou, he is the most experienced one.

"good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and looked directly at Cheng Duanbo who was beside him.

"Throw one end of the net to the big boat on the opposite side, and prepare to cast the net!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo hastily clapped his hands in response.

Then, with a horn.

The two giant ships began to approach slowly.

When the two huge ships were only three to four feet away, several soldiers tied a few stones to the hemp rope at one end of the fishing net with their bows and arrows, and threw them over.

Although one or two net ropes were not thrown onto the boat, there were eight in total, and the remaining five or six were still thrown on board.

Then, the two huge ships separated a little, and when the distance was seven or eight feet, the fishing nets on the boat began to slide down into the sea along with the pulling force of the boat.

In this regard, Xu Lao Si hurriedly took the old fishermen, lay down on the edge of the boat, and looked down.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others also stared at Haizhong curiously.

It's a pity that after traveling for so long, apart from the sea water, there are some seabirds in the sea.

Chapter 416 A net of thousands of stones!

"vomit……"

Lying on the side of the boat, they looked at the fishing net for a long time, but they didn't get the big fish they were expecting.

Li Baoding, Changsun Chong, and Yuchi Baolin couldn't hold on after all, lying pale on the side of the boat, retching vigorously.

There were also dozens of guards lying on the side of the boat, vomiting profusely, it was horrible.

Seeing this, Li Xuan rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, although he felt some discomfort in his stomach, he could still hold it back.

Looking at Li Yuan, Li Chengqian, and Cheng Chusi and the others on one side, they were wandering around with curiosity on their faces, and Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous again.

With such a heaven-defying body, I couldn't avoid seasickness. These old, weak, sick and disabled didn't feel any discomfort at all, it's really unfair!

Cheng Duanbo didn't know what Li Xuan was thinking, but he walked up to Chang Sun Chong and the others with a worried face, and said with relief: "Mr. , it will be fine!"

However, just after I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful.

These few people coming once is enough for him to worry about, how many times?

Thinking about it, Cheng Duanbo quickly shook his head.

"The turbulence here is quite severe, and I invite a few young men to rest in the cabin for a while, so that it will be a little more comfortable!"

"No, I'm sure to see that fish that is the size of a boat!"

Yuchi Baolin and Li Baoding hurriedly refused, with stubborn expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Cheng Duanbo could only sigh helplessly, and told the soldiers beside him to take care of Li Baoding, Chang Sun Chong and others, and the most important thing is not to fall into the sea.

After another half hour, Li Xuan was about to wait impatiently, and was about to ask Cheng Duanbo to order the fishing net to be pulled up, but he found that the color of the sea water was gradually turning black.

"Fish, all fish..."

Suddenly, an old fisherman pointed at the sea and shouted excitedly.

"fish?"

Hearing this, everyone on the boat was in high spirits, and quickly looked towards the sea.

After seeing the black things in the sea clearly, his eyes widened suddenly. Those black waters were caused by fishes crowded together, and his face was full of excitement, extremely excited.

As the ship moved forward, there were more and more fish in the sea. In the end, these fish were densely packed together and kept jumping on the sea surface.

"Xuanba, I didn't expect that there are so many fish in this sea, and they are all so big!"

Beside Li Xuan, Li Yuan's face turned red.

"Exactly, Master, there are so many fishes, enough for everyone in Li Family Village to eat for a month!"

Cheng Chusi on the side also echoed again and again.

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo on the side was shocked. Looking at Li Yuan beside Li Xuan, he seemed to understand something in his mind.

Regardless, before Cheng Duanbo could think it through, Li Xuan had slowly stood up and ordered to him.

"Cheng Duwei, quickly order to pull the net, the two boats approach, close the net, and then go back!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo bowed his hands and immediately began to command a group of soldiers. With the help of those old fishermen, they collected the nets and started to return.

Along the way, the two giant ships were dragged by the ropes of the fishing nets, creaking and creaking.

Everyone didn't care about this. Most of the people were lying in the middle of the two boats, looking at the big black fishing net being dragged under the boat, their faces were full of excitement.

This time, it was definitely a bumper harvest.

"Master, do you think there are any big fish that are as big as a fishing boat?"

After seeing enough of his eyes, Cheng Chusi couldn't bear it anymore, and came to Li Xuan's side with a face full of anticipation.

"How does my master know?"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi, who showed no sign of seasickness at all, "If you want to know, you can jump down and check them one by one!"

"Hey, Master, I'm just curious, not a fool!"

Cheng Chusi laughed straight.

"Humph!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but glared again, "If such a big fish was really caught in the net, the net would have been broken long ago!"

"It turns out there isn't one!"

Cheng Chusi muttered a little disappointed, and went to find Li Chengqian and the others, all lying on the side of the boat with excited faces, and began to bet on how many fish this net could catch.

"My lord, what will I do with these fish when I return to the barracks?"

When approaching the shore, Cheng Duanbo came over and asked Li Xuan for instructions.

"Reserve half of it for Zhechong Mansion, and distribute it to the soldiers below. It is regarded as a reward for the soldiers. In addition, with so many fish, each old fisherman who goes to sea will have a hundred catties of fish each; It belongs to the king!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo bowed his hands and went to make arrangements.

Soon, the two giant ships, dragging the bulging fishnet, returned to the port.

Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Duanbo shouted at a group of soldiers, trying to drag the fishing net ashore.

"Brothers, work harder and lift up the fishing net!"

It's just that no matter how hard you try, you can't drag it.

Seeing this, Li Xuan glanced at the motionless fishing net in the water, thinking about it all, and suggested: "Cheng Duwei, the fish in this fishing net are relatively heavy, and they cannot be dragged like this. Let these soldiers take the [-] An old fisherman's fishing boat, catch those fish in batches!"

"Heavier?"

At this time, Cheng Duanbo hadn't realized how many catties of fish he had caught.

However, when Li Xuan gave the order, Cheng Duanbo nodded slowly.

Afterwards, a hundred soldiers and twenty old fishermen were called to support the small boat, and around the big net, they untied a few openings a little, and the big fat fish were as long as the arms of ordinary people. , is to jump out crazily.

"How big are these fish?"

Cheng Chusi, Li Yuan and the others standing on the giant Cang Ship were all amazed.

They rarely see such a big fish.

And after such a short time, the three fishing boats surrounding the fishing nets below were all full and began to carry big fish to the shore.

The fishing boat behind quickly made up.

In this way, after tossing back and forth more than 20 times, the fish in the big fishing net only went down a small half.

"Back to Your Majesty, the fish on the shore have accumulated 120 stones, but the fish in the net have only gone down a little."

Cheng Duanbo came to Li Xuan's side full of excitement, and reported it.

Before Li Xuan could speak, Cheng Duanbo was a little worried and said: "My lord, I estimate that this net of fish is at least a thousand stones. If all the fish are caught, they will all stink if they can't be dealt with for a while!"

"A thousand stones?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Yuan and the others stared wide-eyed.

"These two boats just circled around in the sea and brought back thousands of stones of fish?"

Li Xuan was also taken aback. There are so many fish, it is indeed impossible to finish them.

After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "Don't scoop up these fish, put them in the net first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo responded quickly.

"In addition, giving each of the twenty veteran fishermen a hundred catties of fish is today's reward!" Li Xuan said again.

"Yes!"

Cheng Duanbo replied again.

Immediately, he began to give orders.

After a commotion, Xu Lao Si led the nineteen old fishermen, saluted Li Xuan and the others with gratitude on his face, and quickly walked home with the one hundred catties of fish.

Chapter 417 Sending Fish to Chang'an City

"Master, what to do with so many fish?"

After Cheng Duanbo left, Cheng Chusi couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

"Two ways!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"Two?"

Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others looked at Li Xuan curiously.

"The first method is to clean up the internal organs of these fish, freeze them, and transport them back to Chang'an City for sale; the second method is to obtain some salt from His Majesty, and dry these fish into dried fish, and preserve them for one year. Everything is fine!"

"Dried fish?"

After listening, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others' eyes lit up.

"Xuan Ba, how much salt does this dried fish need?" Li Yuan asked slowly.

"Not much, table salt is mainly used to marinate fish, coarse salt is fine!"

Li Xuan chuckled, "But this kind of dried fish is used as military rations. It is not only light in weight and easy to carry, but also contains salt. The dried fish itself is meat. For those soldiers, it is the most delicious military ration. !"

"So, after I go back at night, I will immediately write a memorial to my father!"
