Chapter 132 Going to sea to hunt whales

Donghai Fisheries is starting again!

This time, more people came to see me off.

Although Li Kuan had already explained that the sea monster was actually a whale, the rumor that Donghai Fishery encountered a monster at sea was spread intentionally or unintentionally, making it known to everyone in Dengzhou Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, what do you think His Highness, Prince of Chu, is thinking? I can't understand it now."

Chunyu Bo stood beside Chun Yunan and could not understand why Li Kuan personally led a group of untouchables to go to sea to catch the sea monster.

Don't want to die?

"Hmph! His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still too young. He will not look back until he suffers a few losses."

Although the situation in Dengzhou Prefecture was booming during this period, and Chun Yunan, the governor, would certainly be able to share some of the credit, he was not happy.

The life of the people in Dengzhou was better, but the income of Chunyu's family was reduced.

The food that had been hoarded at a high price was lost in my hands.

No one wants the loads of salt in the warehouse.

Now there are more than 2,000 families in Dengzhou who rely on the King of Chu for food. In many cases, the words of the King of Chu are much more effective than the envoy himself.

How could this make Chunyu Nan happy?

"Shijun, do you think we have any chance of cooperating with His Highness the King of Chu? I see that during this period, many outsiders have come to Dengzhou Prefecture, and they have bought land near the dock. Some of them seem to be preparing to go fishing with the East China Sea Fisheries.

Some of the fish are transported from various places for sale.”

"Hmph! His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been in Dengzhou for more than a month. Except when we visited him, when did he call us to come to him? He doesn't even have me as the governor in his eyes. Besides, Chunyu's family is in Dengzhou.

The government is deeply entrenched, and there is no guarantee that the court will not have any ideas. If you still want to cooperate with the King of Chu, isn't this trying to seek the skin of a tiger?"

On the pier, Chun Yunan and Chun Yubo were talking in a low voice, while not far away, several other businessmen who hurried over were also talking.

"Brother Chen, I have made inquiries in the past two days. All the goods in the salted fish workshop have been shipped away, and there is nothing left to sell to us."

"I originally thought that the salted fish from the seafood store would be so easy to sell, so I was planning to transport some to Huainan Road to sell it, but I didn't expect that it was out of stock."

The two people speaking were none other than Chen Jin and Liu Wenfei, merchants from the West Market.

Chen Jin was mainly engaged in silk business before, but due to the impact of wool recently, the business has deteriorated a bit, so he thought about developing another business; while Liu Wenfei is a typical person who sells whatever he can to make money.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally led a team out to sea to catch sea monsters. If the sea monsters are not eliminated, there will be no more salted fish." Liu Wenfei looked at the ships that were going away, with a worried look on his face.

"A sea monster that is seven to eight feet long and two feet high and looks like a small mountain is not that easy to get rid of."

Although Chen Jin also hoped that Li Kuan could return smoothly, he was not very confident.



It was the first time for Cheng Chumo and others to go to sea. After getting on the boat, they ran around excitedly.

Yu Chihuan even climbed up the mast and had a lookout with Yang Qiwa. Especially when he saw the telescope in Yang Qiwa's hand, he almost didn't want to go down.

"Qiwa, where did this telescope come from?" Cheng Chumo's class consciousness is sometimes not that strong. At this time, in order to understand the situation, he was licking his face and standing on the top of the mast with Yang Qiwa, the sea breeze howling.

It doesn't matter.

"It was sent from above."

At first, Yang Qiwa was a little in awe of the son of the prince, but after getting in touch with him for a while, it was time to do whatever he wanted.

"Do you know which workshop made it, or where to buy it?"

"I don't know!" Yang Qiwa added, "Ask the prince, he should know."

Nonsense, of course I know that Li Kuan knows, so I am embarrassed to ask him for it!

Cheng Chumo was in no mood to stay on the mast and slid down to the deck.

"Come on Tuesday Fu, tell me more about the sea monster."

Unlike others, Cheng Chumo and others heard that this time they were going to deal with a "sea monster". Not only were they not nervous, but they were very expectant and excited.

As noble children born with a golden key in their mouths, they need opportunities to prove themselves.

If you can catch a sea monster and bring it back, your uncles and brothers in Chang'an City will probably look at you a little differently, right?

"Cheng Langjun, this sea monster... no, I have already told you everything I know about this whale. I don't know anything else. Why don't you ask the prince?"

Tuesday Fu felt that he was about to become Mrs. Xianglin, well, if he knew Mrs. Xianglin.

Since Cheng Chumo appeared, they have asked themselves one after another about the situation of the whales. The key is to explain it once and then come over and ask again after a while.

It was so hard that I could almost memorize what I said.

"Forget it, you are not a master of navigation, but you are not as good as King Chu, who is going to sea for the second time!"

Cheng Chu walked towards Li Kuan muttering.

"Brother Cheng, although whales are not everywhere, there should still be quite a few in the sea off Dengzhou. Don't worry, if we can't find whales this time, we won't sail."

As soon as Li Kuan saw Cheng Chumo coming over, he knew what he wanted to do.

"Your Highness King Chu, I just saw the harpoon in the harpoon gun. I specially modified the spear in my hand to make the whale fall directly under my hand." Fang Yiai also came with a two-foot-long spear.

The long-haired Mao Qian came to Li Kuan excitedly.

Li Kuan visually inspected the gun and found that it weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms, or even more. It was suitable for someone like Fang Yiai, who was born with infinite strength.

"Yi Ai, don't learn a few tricks from the prince's guard and start drifting off. This first whale is definitely my brother's loser. Don't snatch it from me." Cheng Chumo saw Fang Yi'ai's appearance and felt a little bit.

Not happy anymore.

"And here's me. I'm the best at water. I'll have to deal with this whale first." Yuchi Huan also looked eager to try.

"Which one of you is as strong as me? Prince Gang, didn't you say that the whales are seven or eight feet long, and some can even reach ten feet long? If you are not strong enough, how can you beat it?"

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Huan were both unhappy with Fang Yiai's words.

Li Kuan looked on and was speechless.

If the whale doesn't show off its power, do you think it's a sick cat?

He said it as if what he was trying to catch were tadpoles.

"You guys don't have to fight. If we encounter a whale soon, several ships must cooperate to catch it. First, shoot out all the harpoon guns, and then it's time for everyone to come on stage. The sea is ruthless, and everyone must be careful.

Don’t be brave.”

Catching whales for the first time is related to the rebuilding of the crew's confidence, and Li Kuan will never allow failure.

Naturally, Cheng Chumo and the others would not be allowed to fight alone.

The ignorant are fearless.
