Chapter 180 Qingpu Village

Ningzhou, Qingpu Village.

Zhang Tieniu looked at the fishing net in front of him with a bitter face, smashed his mouth, sighed, and finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Why did it look like this? It was fine half a year ago, but the monster suddenly appeared."

Ningzhou originally intended to be peaceful and peaceful, and was originally very prosperous.But just because of the raging monsters, the disturbed people's hearts are uneasy.

Under such circumstances, naturally not many people dare to go fishing in the sea anymore.

The government also issued a fishing ban, warning fishermen not to go to sea again in a short time.

But as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea.

Zhang Tieniu really didn't know what else he could do besides go fishing.

Although his father named him Tie Niu, he is not a real scalper after all, and cannot plow the land.

Taking a step back, even if he is really an ox, there is not enough land for him to plow.

Ningzhou is rich in seafood, but in contrast, the land resources are very poor.

Because of the dense population, there is very little land available to each individual.

Otherwise, no one would think of going to sea to fish.

After all, the risk of going to sea is extremely high, and if it is not done well, it will die.

Even an old fisherman like Zhang Tieniu would pay homage to Mazu and Dragon Lord before going out to sea to pray for safety.

In his opinion, as long as he can come back safely and smoothly, he is the happiest thing.

What a pity, what a pity.

Now there is no chance to even go to sea.

Zhang Tieniu is not as skilled as others.

He only goes out to sea to fish.

As long as he can remember, he remembers that Grandpa went fishing in the sea, and he would bring back a lot of fish and shrimp every time.

Most of them will be sold by grandpa, and grandpa will cook up a pot of soup for the remaining small fish and shrimps, and he will drink three big bowls happily.

That smell is really delicious
Zhang Tieniu thought about it, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry! An old man doesn't know how to earn money all day long, so he knows how to cry. If I were you, I'd kill myself with a piece of tofu!"

His daughter-in-law, Zhang Chenshi, gave Zhang Tieniu a hard look, and cursed: "The family is going to be ruined, and you are still doing nothing here. Do you have to starve us all to death?"

"Look at what you said. It's not like you don't know about the monsters and beasts in the sea recently. Besides, during the special period, the government strictly prohibits going into the sea. If I really sneak into the sea, even if I am not eaten by the monsters, it will be no good if the government finds out." Fruit to eat. Why can't you expect something better, you mother-in-law, if I die, you will remarry, won't you?"

Zhang Tieniu just replied, and his aunt Zhang Chen burst into tears.

"Oh, why is my life so hard, marrying such a worthless wretch like you. I usually see you as a coward who can't beat a fart with three sticks, but you are so powerful when you bully me. Look at you Yes, if you are really capable, don't get angry at the women at home."

Zhang Tieniu was overwhelmed by his mother-in-law for a while, and turned his head away angrily.

There are many families like him in the fishing village.Not being able to go to sea has a great impact on everyone.

If it's ten days and a half months, it's okay to say, everyone gritted their teeth and passed, and they should all mend the fishing nets at home and rest.

But not being able to go to sea for several months is really a headache.

If you can't go to sea, you have no income, and if you don't have money, you can't buy rice.

Seeing the bottom of the rice in the rice jar, sitting and eating like this is really heartbreaking.

"Okay, okay, don't cry too. I'll go to the city to ask in a while to see if there's anything new from the government."

After being depressed for a long time, Zhang Tieniu felt that this was not an option, so he took the initiative to subdue and said to his wife, "I'll go and ask. If there is any good news, I will come back immediately and tell you."

Zhang Chen's face was covered with tears, but he was still angry at Zhang Tieniu, and said angrily: "Go, if you can't ask anything, then don't come back, I'll find a rope to hang myself than to be angry with you. "

Zhang Tieniu was so choked that he didn't know what to pick up, and left the thatched cottage angrily with his hands behind his back.

Qingpu Village is not close to Ningzhou City, Zhang Tieniu walked for half a day to arrive.

On weekdays, he rarely comes to Zhoucheng, maybe only a few times a year or so.

In my impression, the city of Zhou was also quite deserted.

Zhang Tieniu sighed and followed the crowd into the city.

After entering the city, Zhang Tieniu walked straight to the Yamen of the state city.

He knew that whenever there was any new notice from the government, it would be posted outside the Yamen of the state city.

Although he is illiterate, there are plenty of literate scholars in Zhoucheng, so he can ask a scholar to read and listen to him.

Anyway, Zhang Tieniu only cares about one thing, and that is when he can go to sea.

If the imperial court does not restrict fishing at sea, Zhang Tieniu will give it a try even at the risk of being eaten by monsters.

There is no way, there is still a woman in the family staring at him covetously.

If Zhang Tieniu can no longer go fishing to support his family, the family really can't stay.

Ningzhou City is not big, Zhang Tieniu quickly walked to the Yamen of the state city.

But just as he wanted to take a closer look, he was driven out by the yamen servants.

"This is an important place for yamen, so don't go inside."

"This poor man, I just want to know if the Yamen has banned the sea recently?"

Zhang Tieniu sighed and said, "It's been more than a month since I can't go fishing, and my family can't open the pot. If I can't go to sea again, I'm afraid the whole family will starve to death."

"What's the rush, this kind of thing is so urgent? Do you know that there are monsters in the sea recently? I think you are impatient because the old birthday star hanged himself, right?"

The yamen servant gave Zhang Tieniu a hard look, and then said coldly: "If you want to ponder, I won't stop you. Don't die in front of the yamen, bad luck."

Zhang Tieniu didn't dare to confront the yamen servant, so he could only smile and say: "Look at what you said, it's better to live than to die. If it's not really a dead end, who wants to die? I just want to find out, when will it be possible?" Open the sea."

The yamen servant waved his hand and said, "Wait, now that the imperial envoy has arrived in Ningzhou, the roundup of the monsters should start soon. When the monsters are eliminated, they will naturally be able to go fishing in the sea."

"Master Imperial Envoy? What is this?"

Zhang Tieniu was dumbfounded.

In his memory, there are only county magistrates and governors, and the term "imperial envoy" has never been mentioned.

Could it be a new official from the imperial court?

"Hugh is babbling nonsense!"

Just as the yamen servant was about to reprimand him, he saw Zhao Xun and his party walking out of the yamen, and hurriedly saluted him, "I have seen the imperial envoy."

Zhao Xun nodded slightly, pointed at Zhang Tieniu and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Reporting to the Imperial Envoy, my name is Zhang Tieniu, and I am a fisherman from Qingpu Village. I came to Zhoucheng to ask when I can open the sea for fishing."

Zhang Tieniu said before the yamen servant.
