Seeing His Majesty reading the memorial, everyone was very anxious.

But at this time... His Majesty actually asked about fishing.

And it's also fishing sea fish.

This... is not professional.

Everyone, look at me, let me see you.

After thinking about it, Xie Qian still had to answer. Xie Qian said, "The court prohibits the sea, and fishermen are not allowed to go into the sea. But I think there will be occasional fishermen who are bold and violate the ban. But... these are beheading activities, so naturally, they will not be seen in the classics and history."

He first explained the difficulty of this issue.

Then he said: "However, according to the records of the Song and Yuan dynasties, fishermen are very difficult to fish. Even if there are large boats, they leave the coast and go down the net dozens of miles away, they often fail to make ends meet. Because fishing in the sea is not easy, the cost is not low, and the risk is not small. Moreover, the sea fish is even more cunning. Your Majesty, during the Yuan Dynasty, I heard that the price of a pound of sea fish is more than three to five times that of river fish. From this we can see that although people like to eat sea fish, it is not easy to salvage these sea fish at the same time."

The first-class student is the first-class student. You know everything, you can easily grasp the classics, history and classics.

Others nodded one after another. Although many people don’t understand, this does not prevent them from pretending to understand more.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Have you seen it in the classics and history that sea boats went out to sea to salvage, and returned back and forth in three days, and caught hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish?"

“…”

Everyone was silent.

What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of pounds?

This is an astronomical figure.

What's more, it's sea fish.

Xie Qian shook his head: "I think... this is a fantasy. The Yuan people wrote a book saying: There are a large ship going out to sea, just a hundred people, five masts, and ten days to go out to sea, or nothing is found. Or they get ten thousand kilograms of fish..."

He thought for a while and continued, "It can be seen that if the fishermen in the Yuan Dynasty went to sea for ten days, if they had nothing to gain, it might not be impossible. If they were not lucky, the fish they salvaged would have about ten thousand kilograms. This was the result of more than a hundred people's hard work. If they had ten thousand kilograms, it would be profitable. After all, one person could get a hundred kilograms of fish, and another sea fish. This sea fish was expensive and was highly praised by people at that time. The value of a hundred kilograms of sea fish could be exchanged for a calf, a horse, or two pigs. If you have good luck, you could get tens of thousands of kilograms of fish. One person could get several calves in ten days. Because of this, although there are many dangers in the sea, there are many people who took risks and went to the sea to try their luck."

Xie Qian thought about it and said, "As for hundreds of thousands of kilograms, this is too terrible. Within three days, people will catch at least a thousand kilograms of fish per person. Even if the price of these three thousand kilograms of meat is not expensive, Your Majesty think about it. In one month, one person will catch a fish of tens of thousands of kilograms. This... is meat. This ordinary farmer, a family of tens of acres of land, produces only thirty stones of grain in Jiangnan, and only a few thousand kilograms of grain. This fishing can produce tens of thousands of kilograms a year, but it is still delicious sea fish."

Xie Qian shook his head, looking like I would never believe it.

"If so, what other food should we grow? During the Song and Yuan dynasties, fishermen were also poor. If the fishery product was so high, how could it be? "

Emperor Hongzhi's expression became even more strange. He said, "But Zhenguo Mansion has prepared Japanese guards, that is, Tang Yin, who produces hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish every three days."

"What?"

Everyone looked at each other.

impossible!

Everyone is rational.

"Your Majesty... Is this auspicious auspiciousness?" Someone looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Although auspiciousness is a good word, it is a derogatory word in many contexts of the court ministers. There is not much auspiciousness in the world. However, in order to flatter, some people will everywhere repay auspiciousness and praise the peaceful and clear rivers, which has aroused the disgust of many people.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's not auspiciousness, it's reported by the prefect Wen Yansheng!"

“…”

"I want to see." Li Dongyang couldn't sit still and couldn't care about the rules.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing understood.

After a moment, the memorial fell into Li Dongyang's hand. Li Dongyang looked over word by word. He seemed to want to find out some mistakes from the memorial, or to guess Wen Yansheng's intentions.

After a long time, his Adam's apple rolled up, and even wanted to use his big sleeve to wipe the saliva at the corner of his mouth: "This is true! Wen Yansheng has been criticizing Zhenguo Mansion for the preparation of Japanese guards for the past few times. It is unlikely that he would suddenly sing praises for editor Tang Yin. Now, the Ningbo Mansion has a great disaster. If someone starved to death, he will be punished at most. At most, he will be dismissed from office. But if he delays the relief of the disaster for this, it will be a crime of death. Judging from his previous memorials, he is still loyal and honest, unlike those who commit fraud... This... the victims are saved."

Yes... it's saved...

Li Dongyang was overjoyed.

I just can't get excited.

The victims eat sea fish every day... Is this... still the victims?

This is clearly a paradise on earth.

Li Dongyang's expression was strange.

Others were also moved and read the memorials. Many people nodded repeatedly. Someone said strangely: "What is this majestic official account in the country... what is it?"

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly filled with joy, especially after receiving Li Dongyang's confirmation that the memorial was true, a big rock in his heart was settled.

He murmured in his heart, could this be really God's blessing, would the ancestors be virtuous?

It really looks like auspiciousness.

As for the majestic official account of Zhenguo, okay... this is the details, so there is no need to go into it.

His eyes lit up: "It is said that the prince and Fang Jifan!"

As he said that, he was happy again: "These two boys are the ones who are the ones who are pounding these two boys. Could this fish still fall into the trap? You have to ask clearly. This fish can produce tens of thousands of pounds in a year, and one person can produce tens of thousands of pounds of meat? I don't understand, I don't understand."

As he said that, he was overjoyed.

The ministers still found it incredible, but they also felt that no one dared to make a false statement at this time.

Unless... Wen Yansheng is crazy.

It was noon at this time. Since I had to summon the prince and Fang Jifan, I would have to let the ministers wait a moment.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's noon today, let's use a stool meal in the palace first, Xiao, and pass on the meal."

In fact, everyone is already hungry.

To be honest, when Wen Yansheng wrote about the big yellow croaker, he was vivid, not to mention that when it was lunch, many people were burning their stomachs.

When many people heard that His Majesty was going to pass on the meal, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jing understood and walked away quickly.

Not long after, eunuchs came to deliver the meal.

This is a plate...

Liu Jian's face turned dark.

His Majesty the Emperor is stingy, he knows, but...

This is a plate of mashed potatoes.

That's right, it's mashed potatoes!

When the mashed potatoes first appeared, everyone tasted fresh and thought they tasted good. But now, to be honest, I have been tired of it and I am hungry. It’s okay to use it to fill my hunger, but this is the imperial meal, what the hell?

The smile on Li Dongyang's face gradually disappeared, and he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment.

Ma Wensheng was scolded for a whole morning and was so bloody that he was scolded. This person was hurt and he was inevitably more likely to be hungry. When he was reading the memorial, he saw the deliciousness of various yellow croakers on it. He yearned for it, and then looked at the plate of mashed potatoes in his hand...

“…”

In fact, this is not really a fault with Emperor Hongzhi. Although Emperor Hongzhi is usually frugal, he is not too harsh. Originally, Ningbo was in a disaster and the people were short of food. He thought to himself that the people of Ningbo were eating soil. If he was in the palace and had rich food and food, he would inevitably feel uneasy. Therefore, he specifically instructed that these days, he would use mashed potatoes as a meal and share the joys and sorrows with the people.

Even when eating mashed potatoes, he felt uncomfortable. Thinking about the people in the southeast who were eating soil, he was already very luxurious.

But now...

He looked at the mashed potatoes and felt disgusted.

He wants to eat fish.

Want to eat yellow croaker.

The most hateful thing is Wen Yansheng, who said with a sensation that as a minister, when he saw the big yellow croaker, he thought to respect the emperor in his heart, and wished he could send it to the imperial court immediately and invite His Holiness to taste the deliciousness of the big yellow croaker.

As a result, you said that the journey is long and you are afraid that the fish will become rotten. What the hell is this?

Emperor Hongzhi coughed.

The ministers did not respond.

Pretending to be very happy, I raised my chopsticks, lowered my head and chewed the potatoes slowly. No matter what, this is holy grace. No matter how stingy it is, it is also the nectar brought down by the Lord. Not to mention mashed potatoes, even if it is poisonous wine for you to drink, don’t you still have to drink it?

But everyone's hearts were a little complicated. Wen Yansheng's description was lingering. Big yellow croaker... Is Big yellow croaker good? Is it so delicious to make soup? Are you bragging?

I feel unhappy. People in the disaster area eat big yellow croaker every day. Let’s eat this?

Will people in the disaster area get tired of eating fish?

It will definitely be the same as eating mashed potatoes.

"This..." Emperor Hongzhi felt a little unfair to the ministers.

But after thinking about it, if it is too wasteful to let the imperial kitchen re-burn the stove, it is better to save money.

Emperor Hongzhi swallowed a piece of mashed potatoes in one mouthful and smiled: "This mashed potatoes are really delicious in the world. They taste very carefully and are sweet and soaked in the throat."

“…”

If Fang Jifan was here, he would definitely say that he would be mentally retarded.

Of course, Liu Jian and others dare not say it, and they dare not think about it in their hearts.

But they all laughed reluctantly and echoed: "Your Majesty said so much. Potatoes are sweet in nature. They are really rare foods. I like to eat them very much."

"No, not bad, the mashed potatoes are really delicious, much better than the big yellow croaker." Ma Wensheng said casually.

Soon, many stern gazes from Ma Wensheng were welcomed.

Are you sick? What big yellow croaker is mentioned at this time?

"..." Ma Wensheng also felt that he had made a mistake. He said something against his will, as if he was a bit exaggerated. Hey... Hey, is it a mistake for me? Didn't you curse the Ministry of War in a turn as if you were waiting for the lantern for the whole morning? Why is I still confused today and repeatedly making mistakes?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng deeply: "If the Qing family likes it, then eat more, come and serve a few more dishes."
