Chapter 472: Don't Catch a Fish in a Net? (2-in-1)


On the shore of Weishui, an old fisherman with a white beard stared intently at Du Shaoqing's net, puzzled in his heart.But after the cuckoo horse's fishing net was untied, it turned out to be such a narrow shape?

Odd?

Did he really want to tie Weishui with a net, so that the fish could get into the gap in the net?

Fishing like this?"

Well, it must be, it must be his net is good, otherwise, the fish can break free with a little struggle in the net."

The old fisherman finally frowned slightly, stroked his beard and said confidently.When the people next to him heard the old fisherman's explanation, they praised the old man for his insight.After all, there is basically no one in Datang now, and this old fisherman also made a living by fishing in the pre-Sui period when he was young.Cheng Yanjin looked at the long strips of wood on the ice being stuffed into the ice cave, and with a puzzled face, he asked Wei Chigong beside him: "Lao Hei, you are experienced, do you know how to fish?"

How do you tie so much wood to the top of the fishnet for what?

”"How do I know?

I used to be an iron worker, not a fisherman. ”Yu Chigong didn't have a good breath and said, "However, when I saw the fishermen in the same village fishing in the past, they had to tie a pendant to the net, that is, after casting the net, use the pendant to drop the net to the bottom of the river, so that the fish can't escape."

The wood should be the pendant, and the net is too big today, so it's normal for the pendant to be bigger. ”"Uh-huh, sure enough, you're still old black, you're well-informed, and it makes sense!"

Cheng Yanjin agreed.Li Jing next to "Where and where" couldn't help laughing, "The wood is floating after entering the water, how can it sink to the bottom as a pendant?"

Two laymen don't understand anything, what are they boasting about each other?

”The two of them instantly blushed."

Hey, I drank two taels more this morning, and I didn't look like I was drunk, Lao Hei, how much did you drink?"

Cheng Yanjin said with sloppy eyes.Wei Chigong hurriedly responded: "If you don't drink too much, you will burn a knife for a pound and a half, I don't drink as much as you, and I'm still a little dizzy" Everyone knew that these two people were not in shape when they got together, and they couldn't help laughing so much that their stomachs hurt.Li Er and the ministers all watched Du Shaoqing's actions and fell into deep thought."

Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone know how Shaoqing fished in this move?"

Thinking about brainstorming, maybe you can see the reason, who wants to ask after no one answers, Li Er was a little surprised, this is his own brain, can't he even understand such a simple thing as fishing?"

Your Majesty, we are all good at government affairs, and we are not good at these strange skills, so we can't understand the mysteries of the horses."

The eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to speak.Emperor Li Er saw that his eldest brother stood up, and sarcastically ridiculed his son-in-law for being skilled, and sighed in his heart, the two were still fighting openly and secretly.At this time, Wei Zheng was dissatisfied: "Strange tricks?

Zhao Guogong, Your Majesty's gambling agreement with Du Juma must have heard of it, Du Juma's admonition to lift the ban on the people not to eat carp is for the livelihood of thousands of fishermen in the Tang Dynasty.Whether it's a trick or a people's livelihood plan, you are the prime minister of the court, you must not be able to weigh it, right?

”The eldest grandson Wuji Gujing Wubo replied with a faint smile: "Wei Xiang obviously misunderstood, what I am talking about is that the method of fishing by the Du Horse is unheard of, but it is a strange skill, but he did not say anything else.Of course, I also admire the fact that the horse advises the people's livelihood. ”Everyone heard the controversy between the two, and some officials took advantage of the topic and said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, about the folk rumors, that Du Juma made a bet with His Majesty to cancel the fact that the people are not allowed to eat carp, is it true or false?"

”Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." ”"But Your Majesty, the royal family's surname is Li, and the meaning of the people eating carp is ominous, I am afraid that it will hurt the fortune of the country, Your Majesty will think twice."

Many officials spoke one after another, some were sticking to the ancient rites, and some were patting the royal family's sycophants, Li Er waved his hand and pressed everyone, "What you Aiqing said, I already know."

But as Du Shaoqing said, once the national fortune is in governing the country and protecting the people's livelihood, not in any meaning.The sages have already had guidance, and the people and nobles are secondary, because of a name, it has cut off a livelihood for the people, even if it really means ominous, I will never do it. ”Li Er said it sincerely, and everyone heard the emperor's tenacity, and they all bowed their heads and praised: "Your Majesty is benevolent!"

Blessing to the people. ”"Fang Qing, tomorrow you will issue a notice to the whole country, the ban on not eating carp in the Tang Dynasty has been lifted, and in addition, the ban on the common people avoiding the names of me and the Emperor Taishang has also been canceled.This hissed everyone sighed, why is there one more?

Isn't it just carp?"

Your Majesty, for the sake of His Holiness, your name and the name of the Emperor Taishang should be avoided, all dynasties have done this, this matter is different from carp, it does not involve people's livelihood, there is no need" Someone wanted to persuade one or two, but Li Er interrupted: "One thing, just imagine, if the Tang Dynasty is ten thousand years, how many emperors will there be?"

Every emperor forbade the people to use two words because of their names, and in the long run, how many words did the people still have to use?

Seriously compared, this matter is more serious than the carp problem, so there is no need to argue, it is. ”Well, everyone no longer refutes, and at the same time they see the heart and courage of this emperor.The lifting of the ban on carp can be understood as His Majesty the Emperor's extreme self-confidence and is not afraid of damaging luck.The lifting of the ban on words, firstly, because the emperor has a long-term vision for the benefit of the people, and secondly, because the emperor has great ambitions and wants to live forever in the Tang Dynasty.Tsk, I really dare to think, usually everyone praises the Tang Dynasty for ten thousand years, but it is just a congratulatory message, and there is no dynasty in history that can really be prosperous.Of course, these ideas are not dared to be said by hundreds of officials, who dares to say that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to live forever, I am afraid that they will be thrown into Weishui as bait at that time."

Someone, pass on Du Shaoqing to come over, I've been busy for a long time, and I don't know what kind of mystery he is doing, I want to ask him how he fishes, so many of us are waiting to see him make holes in the ice?"

Li Er ordered with some impatience.But the herald went and came back quickly, and Du Shaoqing didn't follow."

Your Majesty, the master said that the net was about to be closed, and there was no time for anyone, so he asked his subordinates to bring a drawing, saying that His Majesty would know the mystery at a glance."

Li Er took the drawings and looked at them carefully, at this time all the martial artists stretched their necks, and they really wanted to take a look at the drawings, after all, people have curiosity, and they all want to know how Du Shaoqing fished.After a while, Li Er patted his thigh and laughed loudly, "Okay, good boy, you can figure it out!"

”Obviously, Li Er understood the drawings given by Du Shaoqing, and also knew the mystery of fishing under the ice.Everyone became more and more curious, and Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but shout at first: "Your Majesty, let's take a look, everyone still has a gambling contract with him, and they all want to know if he can catch fish." ”Who knew that at this time, Li Er abnormally put the drawings in his arms, "Don't panic, you Aiqing, the net is about to be closed, everyone can just wait and see, don't be irritable." ”Puff God is so irritable and quiet, everyone was not too anxious, after all, it was to see the excitement, but now it's good, curiosity has been hooked, but you don't press it, let's wait and see?

Is it quiet?

Everyone was overwhelmed by the emperor's move, is this Your Majesty?

Isn't it usually His Majesty who reads and circulates hundreds of officials?"

Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, you all know the mystery, but you are hanging our appetite, Lao Cheng is scratching the same in his heart, you can tell everyone about the mystery here."

Cheng Biting Jin entangled."

It's okay, it's rare for me to entertain myself once, so I might as well do it" poof, Cheng Bites Jin and vomits blood and loses!

On the ice, Du Shaoqing's big net was finally under the control of the rod, and the two ends were closed, and the next step was to close the net to catch fish.For this reason, Du Shaoqing specially asked people to make a giant manpower winch, dug a deep pit on the shore and buried wooden stakes, a total of eight logs stretched out on the winch, each log can be held and pushed by fifty people face to face, a total of more than 400 strong laborers to work together.After all, if you really catch 10,000 fish, according to the weight of a few catties of each fish, it will be tens of thousands of catties, and it will be embarrassing if the net is caught but you can't pull it up.So not only the rope with the thickness of the arm, Du Shaoqing also added two movable pulleys made of fine iron in the middle, it can be said that he has thought of all the ideas he can think of, and he is also the first time to practice, in his previous life, he saw that fishing was dragged by machine power, and now it has been replaced by pure manpower, and no one can guarantee it."

The shopkeeper is ready, just wait for your order, and the shore will start to collect the net."

Erhu came to report with a nervous and serious face.Du Shaoqing pressed the excitement in his heart, patted Erhu's shoulder and said, "Only twenty people are left on the ice to prepare at the exit of the net, and the rest are all withdrawn from the ice."

In addition, the 200 strong laborers who watched were given sheepskin gloves, and they stood on the shore to help drag the rope, which was covered with river water and ice ballast, so as not to hurt people again in order to catch a fish. ”"Don't worry, shopkeeper, these things have been arranged by the little lady."

Oh?

Du Shaoqing was slightly stunned, then smiled again, and said that it was good to have a powerful daughter-in-law, and he didn't have to worry about it himself, he thought of everything."

Then let's go, you personally command a small red flag, whether it is brilliant or embarrassing, it depends on your trembling."

Du Shaoqing encouraged."

Well, the shopkeeper, please okay, the second tiger guarantees that nothing goes wrong!"

After a stick of incense, the giant winch finally turned slowly under the command of the two tigers, and four hundred people pushed the winch, one can imagine how much strength, and there were two hundred people on the other side to help drag the rope on the shore.At this moment, the people and the audience began to be restless, moving, moving, this is about to close the net, look, the fishing net is exposed, are there any fish?

Do you have?"

No, it's empty, it's empty," someone shouted.Immediately, the person next to him pressed it down, and scolded with a smile: "Such a big net, only to pull out less than a zhang, there are fish to blame, I don't know, fishing is only seen at the bottom of the net." ”"That's right, that's right, don't pay attention to him, you know how to coax if you don't understand anything!"

The man shrunk his neck and did not dare to say anything more.At the same time, the winch was spinning faster and faster, and the big net had been put away several feet, but there was still not a single fish hair, and everyone's voices stopped, as if they were holding their breath and staring at the fish mouth.Including the group of people in the audience who bet with Du Shaoqing, who still remembers what bet on or not, everyone is looking forward to catching fish in this net.Du Shaoqing is also anxious, his heart is very unsteady, if the net catches the fish, then the winch will be slower and slower, after all, the more you pull, the harder it is, now it's good, it seems that the more you pull, the easier it is, is this net empty?

Don't catch a fish?

If there is really no fish hair, this time it is really embarrassing, such a big battle, in the end, it will perform ice and net for the people?

In the children's seat, Xiao Li Xiang whispered to Xuanxuan: "Sister Xuanxuan, there seems to be no fish, what if we lose?"

”Xiao Xuanxuan turned her head and glared at this cousin, and then reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk, Youyu was also scared away by you, what are you afraid of if you lose?"

Isn't it just stealing wine and getting beaten?

Coward!

”Xiao Li Xiang said weakly: "No, Sister Xuanxuan, I don't know where to steal wine, there is no wine in the East Palace." ”"Don't worry about it, stupid, when the time comes, my sister and I will take you to the imperial dining room, this thing still needs to be taught, you were still born in the palace, sister, I have already made a big fuss with my son when I entered the palace for the first time.""

Didn't we steal wine?

Sister Xuanxuan, who can't make a lot of noise, can't be discovered, otherwise it won't be easy to steal. ”Xiao Li Xiang said cutely.Xuanxuan was really speechless, she had been defeated by this little cousin."

Also, my aunt is not in the same group as us, she doesn't have to steal wine" Xiao Xuanxuan: I want to be quiet!

At this moment, the winch and the strong labor suddenly slowed down, and everyone's hearts trembled, and the second tiger stopped the flag, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

”"I don't know, Second Master, it seems to have suddenly become heavy, and I can't pull it anymore!"

The leader on the other side of the winch shouted."

Can't pull it?

How can it be?

This is the strong labor of 600 people, and Zhongnan Mountain can be moved, it can't be that you can't work and want to rest, right?

”The second tiger fox was suspicious."

Second master, what did you say?

We are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, and we are not hired from outside, who dares to work and not contribute?

”The man said aggrievedly.Also, there are no outsiders, this time the two tigers are in trouble, and they turned their heads and looked at the little lady Wu Zhao on the shore as if asking for help.Wu Zhao stepped off the ice, came to Du Shaoqing's side, and asked softly, "Husband, what's going on?"

Do you still continue to pull?

”Who thought Du Shaoqing laughed and said: "Okay, great, it's good to work hard, the heavier the better!"

Pull, of course you have to pull, the big fish are all behind, if you don't pull up, what will we eat?

”"So, the fish caught in the net fell into the net?"

Wu Zhao said happily, "However, it seems that our strong work is almost gone, and there is a shortage of manpower." ”Du Shaoqing looked up at the shore and saw that it was true, at this speed of the winch, I am afraid that if he wants to pull out all the hundred-meter-long huge nets, he will have to pull it until night.
