Chapter 855 Why hasn't the fleet returned yet?
On the banks of the Dongjiao University Lake.
Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao were holding a fishing rod and fishing at the lake.
Although this lake is an artificial lake, it is also very meticulous in daily maintenance. After Founder Yi founded the school, he ordered people to throw in a lot of big fish.
Among them is koi.
Of course, I don’t allow fishing on weekdays, but Principal Fang is tired today and feels that privilege can be a little willful.
The new girl school student spoke so enthusiastically that he felt a little overwhelmed.
They were not allowed to ask questions or directly ask other teachers, but the students were very enthusiastic and always led them to him.
Fang Zhengyi could only escape.
After all, a college graduate, if you ask me a junior high school student, isn’t this a difficult person?
So in order to rest, he brought the prince here to fish.
The afternoon was calm and windless, and there were not many people by the lake. The two of them sat quietly with poles for forty minutes.
Li Yuanzhao's body was like maggots, twisting left and right: "I said Lao Fang, are there any fish in this lake? It's boring to sit here, so come back to the palace with me."
Fang Zhengyi smiled disdainfully. Of course, you don’t understand the hobbies of mature men.
"Your Highness, there are many fish here. I often fish, so I can't make a mistake."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be a fishing expert?"
"What master, I am the master!"
"Why didn't you catch a fish from the Grandmaster?" Li Yuanzhao said contemptuously.
"You don't help but want to do things well. If you want to do it first, you must sharpen your tools first. The essence of fishing is actually making a nest, and this broken bamboo pole... affects my performance." Fang Zhengyi said lightly.
"Hey! I've hit it!" Fang Zheng didn't finish his sentence, and the fishing rod on Li Yuanzhao was suddenly pulled tight!
It seems that it has gained a lot.
Li Yuanzhao got up and started to compete with the big fish in the lake with excitement.
"Good guy, he's a big guy!"
The two sides fought for a while, and a big black and gray fish weighing about ten pounds gradually appeared on the water.
Fang Zheng's eyes were so angry...
"Your Highness, I'll help you!" "Don't come over!"
Without listening to Li Yuanzhao's dissuasion, Fang Zheng went to hold the fishing rod in Li Yuanzhao's hand and waved it randomly.
The big fish took the opportunity to shake... and wandered away without hooking.
Li Yuanzhao stood on the shore in a daze, and when she reacted, she immediately said furiously: "What are you doing?"
Fang Zhengyi said regretfully: "I just want to help a group of Your Highness. I didn't expect this fish to be so cunning. We didn't have any fish to protect us, so we have no place to install it."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll help Your Highness catch another one right away."
"Ha, despicable villain...I think you are jealous of me." Li Yuanzhao sneered.
Bent over and picked up the bamboo pole, sorted out the fishing line, and continued fishing.
Fang Zhengyi smiled disappointedly, aimed at the location where the big fish disappeared just now, and threw out the fishing rod...
"I am defeated again!"
Within five minutes, Li Yuanzhao stood up and pulled the fishing rod again with ecstasy look.
Fang Zheng's eyes were so bloody that he stood up immediately.
Li Yuanzhao's ostentatious eyes had already seen his movements, and flashed and hid aside.
The conspiracy of the fishing master failed.
However... the movement was too large, and the big fish unfortunately decoupled again.
Li Yuanzhao threw the fishing rod hatefully: "You are cruel! Find two small boats, let's take each fish!"
Fang Zheng's eyes were circling.
No, this kid is so lucky during the welfare period, wouldn’t he be able to compete with him?
Then what is my face as a fishing master?
When he is lucky, he has to fish next to him to gain something.
"Your Highness, when it comes to ships, I wonder what the fleet we are going to sea is? Is there any news?" Fang Zheng changed the topic at the beginning.
Li Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, and his attention was indeed diverted.
He sat down again and said, "Hey, yes, the fleet has been away for so long but there is no news yet."
"I have heard the discussion at the court meeting. The navy is still practicing, and the shipyards in the south are still developing and manufacturing ships. The money is huge. The fleet that explored the West has not returned yet. The Ministry of Revenue is anxious and wants to reduce the water.
The expenses for the division and the development of new ships were also intentionally reduced, and this part was invested in the research of firearms."
Fang Zheng was very focused: "When did I discuss it, why didn't I hear the wind here?"
"It was only two days after returning from the Jin Kingdom that the war expenses exceeded expectations, so there was such a statement."
"But my father said that since it is an unknown world, exploration cannot be achieved overnight. If the news of the fleet's failure is coming back, I will be ready to send the fleet to sea again. If there is no hope for the second time, I will decide not to support it anymore, and everyone agrees
Then the matter was left alone.”
Fang Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Western legend he woven at the time has significantly disappeared.
After all, if you invest real money and silver, no one will be anxious and can't watch this.
Fortunately, my father-in-law is still sensible.
Perhaps after the removal of the biggest enemy in the north, his interest in outside exploration increased greatly.
However, the fleet has not returned yet, and it is indeed a bit long. I don’t know what risks they have encountered in the vast ocean.
"Lao Fang, do you think they will be wiped out at sea?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
Fang Zhengyi was panicked: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. How could something happen if the whole country went to sea carefully prepared? All the navy soldiers were experienced, strong and physically prepared, and there was absolutely no problem with the supplies carefully prepared by me."
"Maybe they have discovered a new world and are exploring outside."
"New World? What's that?"
"It is the undeveloped continent, there are only some primitive people, unformed civilizations, and an undeveloped virgin land."
"Maybe there are fertile land, novel animals, and various minerals everywhere..."
A novel animal? Li Yuanzhao fell into fantasy.
Fang Zhengyi kept sighing in his heart.
Who knows, luck may be because you have discovered a new world, or you may have arrived at the hometown of the four foreigners, Feika Country.
Maybe it's on its way back now.
However, the greatest possibility that he was unwilling to admit was that he was destroyed at sea.
After all, he knew nothing about how big the world is and what risks there are at sea.
So many soldiers, and his poor beggar brother Lai Gou'er, don't know what the situation is...
He finally turned from a beggar to a promising young man, but he had to take this kind of risk again.
Young people don’t know how harsh the natural environment is. If they had known that they would have tried their best to persuade him to stay...
Fang Zhengyi thought in distractedly.
Suddenly, Li Yuanzhao screamed in his ears.
"I am caught in a fish again!"
"My grass!"
Fang Zhengyi was about to take action, but when he turned his head, he saw Li Yuanzhao pulling the big fish and slipping to the shore.
Two rows of big white teeth were exposed and they were smiling at him.
The fish in his hand was a fat koi with a long arm.
Isn’t this a treasure for the lake? He bought it at a high price!
Fang Zhengyi took a breath... This kid learned to rape him, but he actually caught the fish before shouting?
"Your Highness, let it go back, this fish is..."
Before Fang Zheng finished speaking, Li Yuanzhao had already stood up and patted the dust on his pants.
Then he pulled the fishing rope and threw it hard. The giant koi hit his back and actually raised the fish's back!
The koi struggled around his back, and Li Yuanzhao said calmly, "There is no fish. It's boring to sit. Let's go back while strolling in school."
“…”
.....
It was getting late and it was already gray.
Fang Zheng followed Li Yuanzhao with a blunt step, smelling the faint smell of fish.
The former is still in high spirits and his legs are twitching quickly.
The poor koi gave up struggling early, bounced one after another behind him, and a dead fish eye silently accused human crimes.
Fang Zhengyi stretched out his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Go home... the fish are smelly."
"Yes, I haven't visited the girls' courtyard yet! Let's go and see if they study hard at night!"
......
