On the banks of the Wei River, an old fisherman with white beard stared at Du Shaoqing's net without turning his eyes, and was puzzled. All fishing nets were in the shape of a round cover of heaven and earth. After one net, he just grabbed the fish and couldn't escape.

But after Du Fuma's fishing net was untied, it turned out to be so narrow and long? Strange? Could it be that he really wanted to use the net to tie the Wei River around the waist and let the fish penetrate the gaps in the fishing net? Fishing like this?

"Well... it must be true. It must be his net. Otherwise, the fish would break free after a little struggle in the net." The old fisherman finally relaxed his eyebrows and said confidently.

When the people next to him heard the old fisherman's explanation, they praised the old man for his good knowledge.

After all, there is basically no one in the Tang Dynasty who is fishing. This old fisherman also made a living by fishing in the pre-Sui Dynasty when he was young. Speaking of experience, it is definitely still the other person who is good at it.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the long wood on the ice surface being stuffed into the ice hole, and looked puzzled, and asked Yuchi Gong beside him: "Lao Hei, you are experienced and do you know how to fish? Why do you tie so much wood to the fishing net for what to do?"

"How can I know? I used to be a blacksmith, and I was not a fishing man." Yuchi Gong said angrily, "But when I saw a fisherman in the same village fishing, he had to tie a pendant on the net. After scattering the net, he used the pendant to drop the net to the bottom of the river, so that the fish would not be able to escape.

That wood should be a pendant. Today, the net is too big, so it is normal for the pendant to be bigger."

"Yeah, it's true that Lao Hei, you are knowledgeable and have a lot of sense!" Cheng Yaojin agreed.

“Where…”

Li Jing next to him couldn't help laughing, "The wood floats after it enters the water, how can it sink to the bottom and be used as a pendant? The two laymen don't know anything, so what are they trying to praise each other?"

Well... the two of them blushed in an instant.

"Hey, I drank two taels more when I woke up this morning. I was so drunk that I didn't look good. Lao Hei, how much did you drink?" Cheng Yaojin said with sloppy eyes.

Yuchi Gong quickly responded: "It's not as good as you drink too much, but only one and a half pounds of knives. I'm not as good as you. I'm still a little dizzy..."

...Everyone knew that the two of them were not in a good state when they got together, and they all held back their laughter so much that their stomachs hurt.

Li Er and a group of civil officials all fell into deep thought as Du Shaoqing's actions.

"Dear friends, does anyone know how Shaoqing fished in this move?"

Thinking about brainstorming, you might be able to see the reason. After asking, no one responded. Li Er was a little surprised. This was his own think tank. Can’t even understand such a simple thing as fishing?

"Your Majesty, we are all good at government affairs and are not good at these strange tricks and tricks, so we can't understand the mystery of the prince-consort."

Changsun Wuji spoke with his own initiative.

When Emperor Li Er saw his brother-in-law standing up, he mocked his son-in-law for being a lewd trick. He sighed in his heart, saying that the two of them were fighting openly and secretly.

At this time, Wei Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "Strange tricks and tricks? Duke Zhao, you must have heard of the bet between Your Majesty and Du Fu. Du Fu Fu advised the lifting of the ban on the people and not to eat carp. It was for the livelihood of thousands of fishermen in the Tang Dynasty.

Is it a strange trick or a big plan for people's livelihood? You are the prime minister of the dynasty, so I guess you won't be able to figure it out, right?"

Changsun Wuji, Gujing Wubo, smiled faintly and replied: "Wei Xiang is obviously a misunderstanding. What I am talking about is that Du Fuma’s fishing method is unheard of. It is a strange trick, but I have not said anything else.

Of course, I admire the matter of the son-in-law giving advice to the people's livelihood."

Everyone heard the controversy between the two, and a censor took advantage of the question and said, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, about the folk rumors, saying that Mr. Du made a bet with Your Majesty and wanted to cancel the people's prohibition from eating carp. Is it true or false?"

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed true."

"But Your Majesty, the royal family's surname is Li, and the meaning of eating carp is ominous. It may hurt the country's fortune. Your Majesty thinks twice."

Many censors spoke one after another, some stick to the ancient etiquette, while others flatter the royal family.

Li Er waved his hand and pressed everyone down, "I know what you all said.

But as Du Shaoqing said, the national destiny is to govern the country and protect people's livelihood, not in any meaning.

The sages had already given guidance, and the people were more important than the king and the country. Because of a name, they cut off a path to livelihood. Even if the meaning is really ominous, I will never do it."

Li Er said sincerely. Everyone heard the emperor's tenacity and bowed their heads to praise: "Your Majesty is kind! The blessing of the people."

"Fang Qing, tomorrow you will issue a notice to the whole country that the ban on not eating carp in the Tang Dynasty was cancelled. In addition, the ban on people avoiding the names of me and the Supreme Emperor was also cancelled. The sages created words, and we have the same right to use them as the people. We cannot disrupt the rules and regulations just because I, Li, became a royal family, and cause inconvenience to the people."

This...hiss...

Everyone sighed for it, why did there be one more one? Isn’t it just a carp?

"Your Majesty, for the honorific, your name and the name of the Supreme Emperor should be avoided. This has been done in all dynasties. This is different from a carp. It does not involve people's livelihood, so there is no need to..."

Someone wanted to persuade Yi Er, but Li Er interrupted: "One thing, just imagine how many emperors would be born in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years? Every emperor prohibited the people from using two words because of their name. In the long run, how many words can the people still use?

To compare seriously, this matter is even more serious than the carp problem, so there is no need to argue, just post it.”

Well, everyone stopped refuting, and at the same time they also saw the emperor's mind and courage.

The lifting of the ban on carp can be understood as His Majesty the Emperor's extreme confidence and not afraid of damaging his luck.

The lifting of the ban is the first thing that the emperor has a long-term vision to benefit the people, and the second thing that the emperor has great ambitions and wants to be the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years.

Tsk, I really dare to think. Usually, people praise the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, but it is just a congratulations. No dynasty in history can truly achieve prosperity.

Of course, all officials dare not say these ideas. Who dares to say that the Tang Dynasty will not last for thousands of years? I am afraid that it will be thrown into the Wei River as bait at that time.

"Come here, it is said that Du Shaoqing has been busy for a long time, and I don't know what mysterious he is doing. I want to ask him how he fishes. Let so many of us wait and see him dig holes in the ice?" Li Er ordered impatiently.

But the messenger went back soon, and Du Shaoqing did not follow him.

"Your Majesty, the prince consort said that the net was about to be closed. He didn't wait for anyone to be cloned and asked his subordinates to bring a drawing, saying that his Majesty would know the mystery at a glance."

Li Er took the drawing and looked carefully. At this time, all the civil and military officials stretched their necks and wanted to look at the drawing. After all, people are curious and want to know how Du Shaoqing fished.

After a while, Li Er patted his thigh and laughed loudly, "Okay, good boy, you can think of it!"

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. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but shout, "Your Majesty, let's take a look, everyone has a bet with him, and they all want to know if he can catch fish."

Unexpectedly, Li Er put the drawings in his arms abnormally, "Don't panic, my dear friends, I'm about to close the Internet. Let's watch together, don't be irritated."

Puff... I was so irritable and quiet. Everyone was not in a hurry at first, but after all, I was watching the fun. Now, my curiosity has been aroused, but you pressed it and didn't say anything. Let's calm down?

Everyone was defeated by the Emperor's move. Is this Your Majesty? Isn't it usually the ones who read the reading of the officials?

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is better to have fun than to have fun alone. You all know the answer to the mystery, but it is our appetite. Old Cheng is like a cat-tick in his heart. You can tell you the mystery here." Cheng Yaojin tangled.

"It's okay, I rarely have to entertain myself once, it's okay..."

Puff, Cheng Yaojin vomited blood and lost!

On the ice, Du Shaoqing Zhang's big net finally surrounded the two ends under the control of the pole. The next step is to combine the net to catch fish.

For this reason, Du Shaoqing specially made a giant human winch, dug a deep pit on the shore to bury wooden stakes. There were eight logs stretched out on the winch, and each log could be held face to face and pushed. A total of more than 400 strong laborers worked together.

Whether the fishing will be successful this time depends on 400 people. After all, if you really catch tens of thousands of fish, it will be tens of thousands of pounds per fish. If you stay in the net but can't pull it up, it will be embarrassing.

So not only the cables as thick as an arm, Du Shaoqing also added two moving pulleys made of fine iron in the middle. It can be said that he had thought of all the ideas he could think of. It was the first time he started practicing. He saw that fishing was dragged by machine power in his previous life. Now it has been replaced by pure human power, and no one can guarantee it.

"The shopkeeper, you are all ready. Just wait for your order and the shore will start to close the net." Erhu came over to report with a nervous and serious look on his face.

Du Shaoqing pressed his excitement and patted Erhu on the shoulder and said, "Only twenty people left on the ice are ready to go out of the Internet, and the rest are all withdrawn from the ice.

In addition, each of the two hundred men watching was given sheepskin gloves. They stood on the shore and helped to drag the cables directly. The ropes were covered with river water and ice chips. Don’t hurt people again just to catch a fish.”

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, the little lady has arranged these things."

Oh? Du Shaoqing was slightly stunned, then smiled again, thinking that it would be good to have a powerful wife, and she didn't have to worry too much about it, and she thought of everything.

"Then let's start. Whether you are the little red flag personally is good or embarrassing, it depends on your trembling." Du Shaoqing encouraged.

"Well, please, shopkeeper, Erhu is sure to be foolproof!"

After one stick of incense, the giant winch finally slowly turned under the command of Erhu. Four hundred people pushed the winch, and you can imagine how much strength it was. On the other side, there were two hundred people helping to drag the ropes on the shore.

At this moment, the people and the audience began to get restless, moved, and they were about to close the net. Look, the fishing net is exposed, are there any fish? Is there any?

"No, the empty net is empty..." someone shouted.

Immediately, someone next to me pressed it down and cursed, "That's enough, it's less than ten feet to pull out. It's weird if you have fish. You don't know what you know. You only see fish at the bottom of the net."

"That's right, don't pay attention to him. If you don't know anything, you will know how to make trouble!"

The man shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything anymore.

At the same time, the winch was turning faster and faster. The net had been closed for several feet, but I still didn't even see a fish hair. Everyone's voice stopped, as if they were holding their breath and staring at the fish hole.

Including the group of people who bet with Du Shaoqing in the audience, who still remembers what bets are not? Everyone hopes that this website can catch fish.

Du Shaoqing was also anxious and felt very uneasy. If the fish were trapped in the net, the winch would be slower and slower. After all, it would be harder to pull it. Now it seems that the more you pull it, it is easier and easier. Could it be that this net is empty? No fish can be caught in one net?

If there is really no fish hair, it would be really embarrassing this time. In the end, I will perform ice-drawing nets for the people?

In the children's mat, Li Xiang asked Xuanxuan in a low voice: "Sister Xuanxuan, it seems that there is no fish. What if we lose?"

Xiao Xuanxuan turned around and glared at her cousin, then scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk, you're scared away even if you lose. What are you afraid of if you lose? Isn't it just stealing wine and being beaten? Coward!"

Xiao Lixiang said weakly: "No, Sister Xuanxuan, I don't know where to steal wine. There is no wine in the East Palace."

"Idiot... don't worry. My sister and I will take you to the imperial kitchen by then. We will have to teach you this. You are born in the palace. Sister, I had already had a big fuss with the imperial kitchen when I first entered the palace."

"Aren't we stealing wine? Sister Xuanxuan, who can't make a big fuss, can't be discovered, otherwise it will be difficult to steal." Xiao Li Xiang Mengmeng said.

...Xuanxuan was speechless and had been defeated by this little cousin.

"Also, Aunt Yizi is not in the same group as us, so she doesn't have to steal wine..."

Xiao Xuanxuan: I want to be quiet!

At this moment, the winch and the many brave ladies suddenly slowed down, and everyone's hearts trembled. Erhu stopped the flag and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know, Second Master, it seems that he has suddenly become heavy and can't pull it anymore!" shouted the person leading the winch.

"Can't pull it? How is it possible? This is a strong labor force of 600 people. Zhongnan Mountain can be moved away. It's not that you can't work and want to take a break, right?" Erhu said suspiciously.

"Second Master, what are you talking about? We are all from the Chamber of Commerce, and we are not hired by outsiders. Who dares to work but not work?" The man said aggrievedly.

Yes, there are no outsiders...

Now Erhu was in trouble and turned to ask for help and looked at Wu Zhao, the young lady on the shore.

Wu Zhao walked off the ice, came to Du Shaoqing, and asked softly: "Husband, what's going on? Do you still keep pulling it?"

Who would have thought Du Shaoqing laughed and said, "Okay, it's so good, just work harder, the heavier the better! Pull it, of course you have to pull it, the big fish are behind you, if you don't pull it up, what should we eat?"

"So, is it because the fish caught in the net that fell into the fishing net?" Wu Zhao said happily, "But our hard work seems to be almost unable to pull it, and there is not enough manpower."
