Section 649 Bohai Treasure [Please see the testimonials]
Early the next morning, the fishermen set up the incense table and placed whole pig heads and sheep heads to offer sacrifices to the God of the Sea.
At the end, the village chief and the elders of more than a dozen surrounding villages knelt down in front of Li Yuanxing and said loudly: "The people in the military camp said that Your Highness is the star king from the sky who has descended to earth. Please protect him, so that Zhu Nu can return safely after going to the sea!"
Li Yuanxing wanted to say that going to sea is a technical job and should be technically guaranteed.
But at this time, what could he say? He could only say: "I will protect you, but the sea is dangerous, so be careful in everything!"
On the seashore, more than 300 boats took more than 2,000 pearl-fishing girls out to sea. They were mighty and powerful, but their momentum was extraordinary.
"Your Highness, the wind is strong on the shore, go back and rest!" Lu Maofeng said softly.
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "No, I am standing here."
What Li Yuanxing didn't expect was that he would stop here for an hour. The wind on the sea stopped, the sun shone brightly, and the waves became much smaller. It seemed that God was truly blessing him.
Unintentionally, Li Yuanxing became a magic stick again. The fishermen believed that it was because King Qin of the Tang Dynasty stood on the beach that the sea was calm.
Li Yuanxing looked at his watch. About two hours and twenty-five minutes later, the first boat came back. Then he saw boats coming back one after another. He looked at the depth of the boat from a distance, and the people waiting at the beach cheered.
The sound gets louder and louder.
"Presenting..." A pearl fisher in his twenties, dripping with water all over his body, rushed down from the boat and rushed to Li Yuanxing with an abalone in his hand. He knelt down and raised it high. In her heart,
This time she went to sea and could afford the mountains of food and clothing.
She was the first to come back, holding the biggest one in her hands.
According to the etiquette of fishermen, this is dedicated to the God of the Sea.
However, she held it in front of Li Yuanxing, holding it high with both hands. Her lips, which were white from excessive diving, were trembling, but she could not hide the excitement on her face.
"Quickly, help him up." Li Yuanxing couldn't help him because his clothes were thin and he was a woman.
It wasn't until Li Yuanxing took the abalone that the pearl fisher girl stood up, and after being helped aside, took a big gulp of water.
So heavy! So big!
It was definitely over one kilogram. Looking at this abalone, which was as big as Lao Qin Renhai’s bowl, I was so surprised that I couldn’t close my mouth.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Lu Maofeng saw Li Yuanxing in a daze and couldn't help but exclaimed twice.
"Ah!" Li Yuanxing let out a long breath: "It's the best, the best. The more expensive thing I have eaten before is the third-grade abalone. The calculation of this thing is based on the number, within one kilogram, the smaller the number, the better.
Precious, three abalone per pound, called three-headed abalone, also called third-grade abalone. There is a saying that it is difficult to buy a second-grade abalone if you have money, that is, abalone weighing half a kilogram is already difficult to buy if you have money. This one is
It’s a super product, prepare quickly, I want to know the weight!”
After hearing this, Lu Maofeng shouted: "Come here, go to Jian'an City immediately and bring a thousand empty barrels. I want half a stone barrel!"
Someone here went to build An City, and Lu Maofeng ordered the fishermen and sergeants to pile stones into a huge pond in a small bay on the seaside, and piled everything brought back from the fishing boats into this pond.
Two kilograms or three taels would be equivalent to fifteen hundred grams in future generations.
Li Yuanxing thought to himself that if this thing were to be auctioned in modern times, millions of rich people would be willing to come and take a bite. It was so luxurious that Li Yuanxing felt like he was eating gold.
But after the whole basket of sea cucumbers was brought up, Li Yuanxing's eyes lit up.
A foot long sea cucumber!
God, is this really a sea cucumber?
The largest sea cucumber Li Yuanxing had ever eaten was only about eight centimeters. It would be a miracle to have a one-foot-long sea cucumber in modern times. And it was wild, so it was so valuable.
And here are not just one, but basket after basket of foot-long sea cucumbers.
Those small, half-foot-long sea cucumbers were piled up one after another. They were wild sea cucumbers, really picked up on the roadside.
"Pass this king's order to transfer Weiyuan and Zhenyuan ships to Jian'an and immediately prepare to take off again. Write this king's order and transfer one million yuan to Yaozhou, 10,000 pieces of white linen, and load the rest with cement. Jian'an City will immediately build three brick kilns.
All of them will be supplied to this village and the people will be able to build houses within one month, and the standards will be based on the standards of this king’s farm and village households!”
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanxing continued: "Order Yaozhou to develop diving equipment for pearl divers and emergency rescue equipment."
Millions of money! Ten thousand pieces of white linen!
This huge income made the elders in the fishing village almost go crazy. How much is one million dollars? Ordinary people don't know. The literate village chief explained that one million dollars is more than six thousand kilograms.
The copper coins were piled as high as a hill. No household in this village could fit all the coins in their house.
Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the Weiyuan and Zhenyuan ships flying from Yaozhou had already arrived outside Jian'an City.
As soon as the two ships came to a stop, the boatman came down first and put up the ladder. The captains of the two ships, who were also seventh-rank officers, got off the ship and stood next to the long ladder. He had to show his courtesy to distinguished guests disembarking.
Wang Jishan walked down and praised the convenience of the flying boat.
"The Prince of Qin ordered that the flying boat be replenished immediately and prepare to return to Yaozhou. The number of boatmen will be increased by 30% and a shift system will be adopted." A small official wearing the unique uniform of the Prince of Qin rushed over and shouted loudly.
Wang Jishan waved to the clerk and asked, "What's the urgent military matter?"
"To tell you the truth, Your Highness is very happy today. It seems that a treasure was found on the seashore. He ordered the flying boat to transport it back to Chang'an immediately. He also brought another cargo over. The reward for the small fishing village was only one million yuan.
." After saying this, the clerk hurriedly rummaged in his bag and found a handwritten letter.
"His Highness gave this to you. I didn't recognize you just now."
Wang Jishan was not wearing official uniform, so the clerk did not dare to recognize him. It took him a long time to confirm.
Opening the letter, it mainly contained Li Yuanxing's thoughts about the palace in the inner city. Wang Jishan put away the letter: "Take me to see His Highness the King of Qin!"
On the Zhenyuan, Jin Manqing disembarked.
She didn't know the high officials, but she knew the unique official uniforms of Prince Qin's Mansion. She quickly walked over a few steps and gave a salute: "The daughter of the people wants to see His Highness the King of Qin. I would like to thank His Highness for your great kindness!"
"Nonsense!" Wang Jishan shouted coldly, frightening many people.
Jin Manqing had seen this posture before, and even though Wang Jishan was not wearing official uniform, the people standing next to him were basically in red official positions, and he was still the dominant posture.
"I know that you are a medical girl from Yaozhou. You also had a lawsuit with the Baekje envoy in Chang'an City." Wang Jishan's tone slowed down a bit: "As a second-class foreman in Yaozhou, according to the Ministry of Personnel, the latest position of the Ministry of Works
As for the rank of Secretary, you are from an official position below the sixth rank, but in terms of your authority, you are still above the sixth rank."
Jin Manqing didn't understand, and just lowered her head nervously.
Wang Jishan's tone became more gentle: "There is nothing wrong with being polite. However, the Tang Dynasty has the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has the dignity of officials of the Tang Dynasty. As a sixth-rank official, giving a gift to an eighth-rank official is already your first mistake.
, the second mistake is that since you have a position, you should call yourself an official, or call yourself me. Even if you call yourself a little girl, you can't call yourself a daughter of the people. You are punished by writing a self-defense form to plead guilty. Return to
Give it to your superior officer at Yaozhou!"
"Yes, I know my mistake, and I will definitely not dare to do it again!"
Jin Manqing understood, and felt even more happy.
Only then did Wang Jishan have a smile on his face: "It's not easy for you people, and I am also at fault. I did not send someone to Yaozhou in time to teach you etiquette. I will also write a seal to apologize to the Holy One. I am sorry.
I am about to go to see His Highness King Qin, please come with me!"
Jin Manqing quickly gave her a gift of thanks.
This little episode excited many Goguryeo people who were originally slaves.
They have always been afraid that they would not be able to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that the officials of the Tang Dynasty can accept them.
In the evening, in the small fishing village, meat is cooked in a big pot and a big bowl of white rice is served.
Everyone was laughing and laughing. Not to mention Li Yuanxing's second reward, the first one was enough for them to celebrate.
Instead, Li Yuanxing called the village chief and elders over.
"I want to discuss the price with you. After I leave, a caravan will trade with you. These things also have a price. The first is grading. There are good and bad abalones, and the same goes for sea cucumbers.
.With grading, there are rules, and naturally each level also has a corresponding price. In years of high production, the price is lower. When the production is low, the price will naturally increase by 10% or 20%, but this is normal."
The village chief and elders did not dare to speak.
Li Yuanxing couldn't say any more: "Let's do this. I will do justice. Do you believe it?"
"It's all up to Your Highness!" Everyone responded loudly this time.
The huge flying boat landed in the open space by the sea. Someone had already prepared boulders and ropes and fixed them. After it stopped, Wang Jishan got off the flying boat, followed by Jin Manqing.
Li Yuanxing was a little surprised as to why Wang Jishan came here in person.
After greeting him, Wang Jishan saluted first, and Li Yuanxing returned the gift. Jin Manqing learned the etiquette movements beside him, but it was extremely non-standard, and it still felt like the Goguryeo people saluting.
"Your Highness made a mistake, and the old minister also made a mistake. The officials and craftsmen of Yaozhou did an excellent job. It's just that Your Highness focused on the work, but forgot the etiquette. So much so that the sixth-rank officials in Yaozhou didn't understand the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, let alone their status.
.The old minister has come forward to apologize for this matter. What does Your Highness say?"
Wang Jishan always caused trouble for Li Yuanxing as soon as they met, which made Jin Manqing very nervous.
But who would have thought, Li Yuanxing laughed:
"I will personally cook the food for Mr. Wang to have a fresh taste. Don't mention the matter in Yaozhou. I will also admit my mistake. When the matter here is settled, all matters related to etiquette and law in Yaozhou will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and
Anyone who fails to meet the standards can be fined or demoted. This is not an exaggeration. First-time offenders will naturally be given some opportunities."
"Just as His Highness said!" Wang Jishan is not that rigid, so he naturally goes down the slope. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
