Zhu Liang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "So, if the net is cast down, won't it mean that all the big fish in the sea will be caught?"
"Tsk!"
Guo An said with some contempt, "Zhu Baihu, don't worry, even if you throw a hundred-foot-square fishing net into the sea, compared to the huge sea, it will be as big as an ant.
Therefore, Zhu Baihu can go fishing with peace of mind. Even if he fishes continuously for ten or a hundred years, he will not be able to catch all the big fish in the sea."
"Really?"
Zhu Liang looked unbelieving.
In this era, people who have never been to the sea are far from aware of its vastness.
In addition, since Lao Zhu has banned the sea, I am afraid that only those merchants and big businessmen who secretly study how to trade overseas all day long will know how tempting the vast overseas is.
Even people like Zhu Liang and Zhu Di have no idea about the sea.
Lao Zhu's idea of small farmers gave Ming Dynasty a treasure mountain that could produce meat every day.
Guo An secretly slandered in his heart and said to Zhu Liang with a sure look on his face: "Isn't Zhu Baihu going to go fishing in the sea in a few days? We will know when the time comes."
"It's two days later."
Zhu Liang reminded.
Guo An smiled and said: "Then please ask Zhu Baihu to weave the net first. The big fish in the sea are not the small fish and shrimps in the river. Those big fish are bigger than mountains. Even ordinary sea fish.
They are all two feet long.
Therefore, the hemp thread used in the feng net must be as thick as a wrist, and the ropes in the feng net must be strong enough to withstand the pulling of hundreds of soldiers."
"..."
Zhu Liang looked at Guo An in surprise, "Master Guo County, is this really what you want?"
"What if?"
Guo An curled his lips and said, "Otherwise, why would I have to let you go with a ship that is at least eight feet long?"
"Also, it is best to put a layer of partitions inside the cabin of a large ship. Use saltpeter and clear water to make cold ice between the partition and the ship board. After a circle, the inside of the cabin will be like a cold cellar, which can be frozen.
of sea fish.”
"By the way, it's best to install windlass and pulleys on big ships. At least two of them should be installed on each big ship to pull the net in the sea!
Otherwise, if a net is full of big fish, even if three or four hundred soldiers like you pull it together, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it in.
By the way, does Zhu Baihu know about the windlass and pulley? If you don’t know, go to the craftsmen in His Highness King Yan’s house. There should be craftsmen who know about this stuff..."
"Zhu Baihu had better ask His Highness King Yan to help find a few experienced old fishermen on the coast to act as guides for you, otherwise the sea is so big that you will easily lose your way."
"In addition, I heard that Japanese pirates often cause trouble on the sea, so you'd better bring enough weapons and equipment!"
Zhu Liang said sternly: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, they are just Japanese pirates. As long as they dare to come, we will definitely make sure they never come back!"
"Okay, these are all I can think of. Zhu Baihu can go back and report to His Highness King Yan!"
After saying that, Guo An waved his hand casually and lay lazily on the table.
"Forehead……"
But Zhu Liang looked embarrassed, rubbed his hands, and looked at Guo An with some embarrassment.
"Um?"
Guo An glanced at it and sat up in shock, looking wary.
"Zhu Baihu is a tall, eight-foot tall man, why is he so postured?"
"Don't panic, Mr. Guo County. I just want to write down what Mr. Guo County said so that I can take it back and present it to His Highness."
Zhu Liang didn't know what happened and why County Honorable Guo was so frightened of him, but he still spoke quickly.
A warning suddenly flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Zhu Baihu didn't remember?"
"The general is a rough man. Guo Xianzun said too much, which makes it difficult for the general to remember."
Zhu Liang said a little embarrassed.
"In this case, I will write it down."
Guo An nodded.
Zhu Liang nodded repeatedly, looking forward to it.
However, what made him anxious was that the Guo County Lord had just picked up the pen and looked at him again, "Zhu Baihu, this method was written by His Highness King Yan and Zhu Baihu under pressure from me. Anyone who asks,
Even I won’t admit it.”
"How is this possible? How could His Highness King Yan force the county magistrate?" Zhu Liang explained hurriedly.
"That's what you forced me to write!" Guo Andao said.
"Sir Guo County, please don't joke. How dare you force the general to force you?" Zhu Liang shook his head repeatedly.
"Then I won't write it!"
Guo An directly put down his pen.
"this……"
Zhu Liang's face became anxious, "Why is this, County Lord?"
"Did Zhu Baihu ever hear that a court official impeached your Majesty? I secretly attached myself to the King of Yan, which is a treacherous act?" Guo Andao said.
"this……"
Zhu Liang frowned slightly, and after a moment, nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, Lord Guo, this method was written by His Highness King Yan who forced Lord Guo to write it."
Guo Andao: "Really?"
Zhu Liang was speechless, "It's absolutely true!"
"Very good!"
Guo An nodded with satisfaction, picked up a piece of paper, wrote two lines on it, and turned to Zhu Liang.
"In this case, please also ask Zhu Baihu to sign his name here as a witness!"
"ah?"
Zhu Liang glanced at the paper and backed away, "Guo County Master, please don't embarrass me. How can I dare to witness this?"
Guo An's face turned solemn, "Then what Zhu Baihu just said was to deceive me?"
"Guo County Zun knows..."
Zhu Liang said with a sneer.
"In that case, Zhu Baihu, please come back!"
Guo An's expression turned cold and he stood up directly, preparing to see off the guests.
Zhu Liang said quickly: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Guo County. Don't be anxious. The fishing matter concerns hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Beiping Prefecture. This matter is important!"
Guo An looked determined: "But my life is also important!"
Seeing this, Zhu Liang's face turned bitter, "The final draw!"
After saying that, he picked up the pen and signed his name under Guo An's guidance.
"General Zhu is really open-minded!"
Guo An nodded with satisfaction and took the cinnabar box from the side, "General Zhu, please press the fingerprint again!"
Zhu Liang grimaced and pressed his fingerprint again.
As soon as the fingerprints were pressed, Guo An put away the paper with a happy face.
Finally, I started writing happily.
After a while, Zhu Liang turned around three times, holding two pieces of paper filled with black words, and walked out of the county government office, carefully walking towards the Yan Palace.
…
As soon as he saw Zhu Di, Zhu Liang knelt down in fear.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Um?"
Zhu Di's face darkened and he stared at Zhu Liang closely, "Are you bullying men and dominating women, or are you plundering people's wealth?"
"no!"
"Is that corruption?"
"No!"
"What's that?"
"Your Majesty, the general will go to Wanping County Yamen on your orders..."
Zhu Liang hurriedly told a complete story about everything that happened in the county government, "I have never heard what Mr. Guo County said, but I always feel that those words are very important to His Highness who sent people out to sea to fish this time."
It's important.
It's just that I don't know a lot of Chinese characters, so I really can't remember it. But His Highness is so respected, and I can't condescend to go to Wanping County Office just because of a few words, so I have to boldly sign my name and ask His Highness to punish me."
