Seeing His Majesty read the memorial, everyone was very anxious.

But at this time... His Majesty actually asked about fishing.

And still fishing.

This... is not professional.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

After thinking about it, Xie Qian had to answer, Xie Qian said: "The sea is banned by the imperial court, and fishermen are not allowed to go into the sea. However, thinking about it, there will be occasional fishermen who are bold and violate the prohibition. It's just... these are decapitation activities. Naturally, it does not appear in the classics and history."

He first explained the difficulty of the problem.

Then he said: "However, judging from the records of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is very difficult for fishermen to fish. Even if there are large boats, and they are tens of miles away from the coast, they often cannot make ends meet. Because fishing in the sea is inherently difficult. Not easy, the cost is not low, not to mention, because of the strong wind and waves, the risk is not small. Moreover, sea fish is more cunning. Your Majesty, in the Yuan Dynasty, I heard that the price of the same catty of sea fish was three times that of river fish. More than five times, it can be seen from it that although people love to eat sea fish, but at the same time, it is not easy to salvage this sea fish."

To be born as a number one scholar is to be born as a number one scholar. He knows everything, he can learn everything from classics and classics.

Others nodded their heads one after another. Although many people didn't understand, this didn't prevent them from pretending to understand better.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Have you ever seen in the classics and history that sea boats go out to sea to salvage, return and return in three days, and catch hundreds of thousands of catties of fish?"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of catties.

This is an astronomical figure.

Let alone sea fish.

Xie Qian shook his head: "I think... this is a fairy tale. There is a book written by the people of Yuan Dynasty: There are big ships going out to sea, with more than a hundred people, five masts, and going out to sea for ten days, or nothing. Maybe ten thousand catties of fish... ..."

He thought for a while and continued: "It can be seen that the fishermen in the Yuan Dynasty went out to sea for ten days, and if they found nothing, it might not be impossible. If luck is not bad, the fish they salvage will weigh up to ten thousand catties. This is the hard work of more than a hundred people. As a result, if there are tens of thousands of catties, it will be profitable. After all, one person can get a hundred catties of fish. It is also a sea fish. A calf, or a rough horse, or two dolphins. If you are lucky enough to get tens of thousands of catties of fish, one person can get several calves in ten days. Because of this, although the sea is full of dangers, There are also some people who take the risk and go to the sea to try their luck."

Xie Qian thought for a while, and then said: "As for hundreds of thousands of catties, this is too scary. Within three days, the average person can get at least a thousand catties of fish. The three thousand catties of meat, even if it is not expensive sea fish, your Majesty thinks Think about it, isn't it true that in one month, one person can catch ten thousand catties of fish. This... is meat. This ordinary farmer has a family of ten acres of land, and in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain production is no more than 30 shi. It's only a few thousand catties, but this fishing can produce tens of thousands of catties a year, but it's still delicious sea fish."

Xie Qian shook his head as if I would never believe it.

"If this is the case, what kind of food do you grow? In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, fishermen were also poor. If the fishing yield is so high, why is it here?"

Emperor Hongzhi's expression became even weirder, and he said: "But the Zhen Guofu prepares Japanese guards, that is, Tang Yin, who produces hundreds of thousands of catties of fish in three days."

"what?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

impossible!

We are all reasonable people.

"Your Majesty... is this a sign of auspiciousness?" Someone looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Although auspiciousness is a good word, it is a derogatory term in many contexts used by court ministers. There is not much auspiciousness in the world, but some people go around reporting auspiciousness and praising Haiyan and Heqing in order to flatter others. , aroused the resentment of many people.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's not auspicious, it's played by the magistrate Wen Yansheng!"

"..."

"I want to take a look." Li Dongyang couldn't sit still, he didn't care about the rules.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing understands.

After a while, the memorial fell into the hands of Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang read it word by word, as if he wanted to find out some mistakes from the memorial, or guess Wen Yansheng's intentions.

After a long time, his Adam's apple rolled away, and he even wanted to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his big sleeve: "It's true! Wen Yansheng has played several times in the past, and repeatedly criticized Zhen Guofu for preparing Japanese guards. It is impossible for him to suddenly write for Tang Yin Singing hymns. Now that there is a catastrophe in Ningbo Mansion, if people starve to death because of it, he will at most take the blame, at worst he will be dismissed from office. But if he delays the disaster relief because of this, it will be a crime of death. According to the memorandum, he is quite honest, not like a fraudulent person... this... the victims of the disaster will be saved."

Yes...it's saved...

Li Dongyang was overjoyed.

Just can't get emotional.

The disaster victims eat sea fish every day... Is this... still a disaster victim?

This is clearly a paradise on earth.

Li Dongyang had a strange expression.

Others were also moved, and they circulated the memorabilia one after another. Many people nodded repeatedly, and someone asked strangely: "What is this majestic and majestic Zhen Guogong... What is it?"

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly elated, especially after Li Dongyang confirmed that the memorial was true, a big stone settled in his heart.

He murmured in his heart, could it be that this is really blessed by the gods, and the ancestors were virtuous?

?

It's really auspicious.

As for the majestic Zhen Guogong, well... these are the details, so there is no need to delve into it.

His eyes lit up: "Bring on the crown prince and Fang Jifan!"

As he said that, he was happy again: "These two boys, nine out of ten, are the ghosts of these two boys. Could this fish still throw itself into the trap? You have to ask clearly. This fishing, one person for one year Come down, can produce ten thousand catties, one person can produce ten thousand catties of meat? I don’t understand, I don’t understand.”

With that said, he was overjoyed.

The ministers still find it incredible, but they also feel that at this time, no one should dare to lie.

Unless... Wen Yansheng went crazy.

It was already noon at this time, since the prince and Fang Jifan were still to be summoned, the officials must have to wait.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "At noon today, let's have a light meal in the palace first, companion Xiao, pass on the meal."

In fact, everyone was already hungry.

To be honest, when Wen Yansheng wrote about the big yellow croaker, he was very vivid, not to mention that when it was lunch time, many people's stomachs were burning.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that His Majesty wanted to pass on the meal.

Xiao Jing understood and walked quickly.

Not long after, eunuchs passed on meals.

It's a plate...

Liu Jian's face darkened.

His Majesty the Emperor is stingy, he knows it, but...

Here are the plates of mashed potatoes.

That's right, mashed potatoes!

When mashed potatoes first appeared, everyone tasted it fresh and thought it tasted good, but now, to be honest, they are already tired and hungry, and it’s fine to use it to satisfy their hunger, but this is imperial food, what the hell is this?

The smile on Li Dongyang's face also gradually disappeared, and he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi resentfully.

Ma Wensheng had been scolded for a whole morning, his head was bloody, this person was hurt in his heart, and he would inevitably be more hungry. When he was reading the memorabilia just now, he saw the deliciousness of all kinds of large yellow croakers on it, and he yearned for it. A plate of mashed potatoes served in...

"..."

In fact, this is really not the fault of Emperor Hongzhi. Although Emperor Hongzhi was usually frugal, he was not too harsh. Originally, Ningbo suffered a catastrophe and the people were short of food. He thought that the people in Ningbo were eating soil. It is unavoidable to feel uneasy after eating these delicacies, so he specifically asked that these days, he would eat mashed potatoes as a meal and share the joys and sorrows with the people.

Even eating mashed potatoes, he still feels uncomfortable. Thinking about the people in the southeast eating soil, he is already very extravagant.

But now...

He looked at the mashed potatoes and suddenly felt disgusted.

He wants to eat fish.

I want to eat big yellow croaker.

The most hateful thing is that Wen Yansheng, who plausibly said that as a subject, when he saw the big yellow croaker, he wanted to honor the emperor in his heart, and wished to send it to the imperial court immediately, so that his majesty could come down and taste the deliciousness of the big yellow croaker.

In the end, you frankly said that the journey is far away, and you are afraid that the fish will go bad. What the hell is this?

Emperor Hongzhi coughed.

The ministers did not respond.

Pretending to be very happy, he raised his chopsticks, lowered his head and chewed the potatoes slowly. Anyway, this is the grace of the Holy Spirit. No matter how stingy he is, it is also the nectar from the Holy Majesty. Not to mention mashed potatoes, even poisonous wine I'll drink it for you, don't you have to drink it?

It's just that everyone's hearts are a little complicated. Wen Yansheng's description can't get rid of it. The big yellow croaker...is the big yellow croaker okay? Is it so delicious to make soup? Bragging?

I'm not happy, the people in the disaster area eat big yellow croaker every day, so we just eat this?

People in disaster areas will get tired of eating fish?

It will, just like eating mashed potatoes.

"This..." Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had treated his ministers badly.

But after thinking about it, it would be too wasteful to re-burn the stove in the imperial dining room, so let's save it.

Emperor Hongzhi swallowed a piece of mashed potatoes with a smile on his face: "This mashed potatoes are really delicious in the world. Eat it carefully, it is sweet and moistens your throat."

"..."

If Fang Jifan were here, he would definitely say, * is mentally retarded.

Of course, Liu Jian and others didn't dare to say it, and they didn't even dare to think about it in their hearts.

But each of them forcefully laughed and echoed: "Your Majesty's words are true. Potatoes are sweet by nature. They are really rare foods. I like to eat them very much."

"Yes, yes, mashed potatoes are really delicious, much better than large yellow croakers." Ma Wensheng said casually.

Soon, many stern gazes were greeted by Ma Wensheng.

Are you sick? What big yellow croaker are you talking about at this time?

"..." Ma Wensheng also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. What he said against his will seemed to be a bit exaggerated. Hey... I made a mistake. Can I blame the old man? Didn't you just turn around and scold the Ministry of War all morning? Why is the old man in a state of confusion today, with repeated gaffes?

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Ma Wensheng: "If the Qing family likes it, then eat more. Come and bring me some more dishes."

Marvin kept a smile on his face, the smile was still shining and moving.
