Chapter 416 Going to sea!

"Do you use this kind of net to catch fish?"

Looking at the ball of fishing net Cheng Duanbo took out, Li Xuan almost thought he was on a small fishing boat.

"Your Majesty, don't think that this fishing net is only such a small ball, but after it is unfolded, it can cover a water area of ​​one foot square inch."

Cheng Duanbo quickly explained.

"This king knows!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and then continued: "It's really overkill to use such a small fishing net for such a huge ship.

Is there a thick hemp rope on the boat? "

"Go back to the king, yes!"

Cheng Duanbo quickly replied.

"You find hundreds of thick hemp ropes, and use them to weave a huge fishing net. After it is unfolded, it will be at least half the size of the giant ship!"

Li Xuan said.

"So big?"

Cheng Duanbo was taken aback.

However, Li Yuan, Li Baoding and others on the side were delighted.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded, "In addition, on both sides of these fishing nets, a few more thick hemp ropes should be left, and these thick hemp ropes must also be left seven to eight feet long.

Also, on the top of these fishnets, there is a row of objects that can be tied to make it float on the sea surface, and the bottom end needs to be tied with some objects that can make it sink in the water! "

"My lord..."

Hearing this request, Cheng Duanbo was dumbfounded.

"If you don't know, you can go to those soldiers. If you can't, then go to those fishermen, especially those old fishermen. The bigger the boat, the better!
After finishing the fishing nets required by the king, the king will take two blue ships to go fishing tomorrow. Each huge ship needs at least ten veteran fishermen. The king will give you a day to do it tomorrow. Make arrangements for the king.

As for how much money you need to spend, you can ask Cheng Chusi for it. When this guy came, he brought a lot of good things! "

Li Xuan ordered directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Duanbo bowed his hands solemnly.

The items Li Xuan asked for were very simple to him.

Only Cheng Chusi looked unhappy.

"Master, the two carts of good things I brought are all presents from Auntie to the young men of the Cui family!"

"Why, you still want my wife to pay for it?"

Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi again.

"Hey, how dare I..."

Cheng Chusi smiled apologetically.

However, Li Xuan has already gone far.

Behind him, Cheng Duanbo quickly arranged a group of people to work according to Li Xuan's request.

As for these things that Li Xuan asked for, in less than an afternoon, they were heard by all the big and small forces in Qingzhou.

And when they heard that Li Xuan was going to take a group of disciples to go fishing in the sea, everyone chuckled lightly and didn't care too much.

They have heard too much about fishing.

Only Cui Hongmo found Li Xuan excitedly.

"Are you going too?"

After listening to Cui Hongmo's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

"Returning to the king, my servant has never had a chance to go fishing in a big boat since he was a child. Therefore, I also want to see it!" Cui Hongmo explained.

"So, you bring two people who are familiar with water, don't fall into the water and get out!"

Li Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you king!"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo was overjoyed.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others who had been excited all night got up and urged at the door of Li Xuan's house.

In desperation, Li Xuan could only walk out of the room with sleepy eyes open before the hour.

A group of people headed east in a mighty way.

……

"See His Royal Highness King Jin, I have met several gentlemen!"

Cheng Duanbo was already waiting there with a group of guards at the Navy Bay of Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou.

"Cheng Duwei, the fishing net that the king wants, but has it been made?"

Li Xuan asked directly.

"My lord, the fishing net has been woven. It is eight feet long and eight feet wide. In addition, there are eight arm-thick hemp ropes on both sides of the fishnet, which are also eight feet long!" Cheng Duanbo hurriedly clasped his hands in reply.

"In addition, the general will also find twenty veteran fishermen with the most experience in fishing in Qingzhou!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

He turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, at the end of the group of soldiers, he saw a few old fishermen with old faces and dark skin, looking at them curiously.

After discovering that Li Xuan was watching them, these old fishermen were immediately panic-stricken.

Li Xuan was startled, then clasped his hands together.

"I will rely on you old men a lot when I go fishing in the sea today! No matter how much I fish this time, I will never blame you and others, and will give you a hundred catties of fish per person."

"Don't be so noble, the villain will definitely do his best!"

Among these fishermen, an old fisherman who seemed to have some prestige quickly saluted Li Xuan tremblingly.

In this regard, Li Xuan just cupped his hands and walked directly to the boat.

He was afraid that if he continued to be polite, he would frighten these old fishermen.

Seeing Li Xuan's movements behind him, Xue Rengui quickly brought a hundred guards and followed closely behind.

The remaining [-] personal guards stayed on the shore in case of emergencies.

Soon, the two big ships went directly to the distance one after another.

However, for the safety of everyone, Cheng Duanbo also asked a ship to follow behind them.

But he knew that not only the King Jin was honored on this ship, but there was also a Crown Prince hiding there, and the rest of them were also the eldest sons of the Duke of the Duke.

Everyone can't afford to lose!

Li Baoding's identity as King Huaiwei was known to very few people in the Tang Dynasty, and Cheng Duanbo was obviously not among them.

There is also Li Yuan, an old bear, although Cheng Duanbo doesn't know him, but Cheng Chusi and others see Li Yuan like a mouse seeing a cat, and he can also see that his background is not simple.

But it never occurred to him that the old man who was not serious all day long would be the Supreme Emperor.

"Xu Lao Si, how far is it from the land full of fish?"

After driving for a while, the coastline had turned into a straight line, so Li Xuan asked the terrified old fisherman beside him.

After listening, Xu Laosi hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Xuan in return.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the villain is right, those schools of fish are not far ahead!"

Fourth Xu was the old fisherman who had just answered Li Xuan's message on the shore.

Since childhood, I have been fishing in this sea area with my parents.Now at home, there is also a fishing boat five or six feet in size, which can go out to sea to catch fish from time to time, but their boat is still a bit small, and they dare not go too far.

But even so, Mr. Xu relies on fishing to sell money every year, and can support his family. Among the fishermen in Qingzhou, he is considered the most experienced one.

"good!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and looked directly at Cheng Duanbo who was beside him.

"Throw one end of the net to the big boat on the opposite side, and prepare to cast the net!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo hastily clapped his hands in response.

Then, with a horn.

The two giant ships began to approach slowly.

When the two huge ships were only three to four feet away, several soldiers tied a few stones to the hemp rope at one end of the fishing net with their bows and arrows, and threw them over.

Although one or two net ropes were not thrown onto the boat, there were eight in total, and the remaining five or six were still thrown on board.

Then, the two huge ships separated a little, and when the distance was seven or eight feet, the fishing nets on the boat began to slide down into the sea along with the pulling force of the boat.

In this regard, Xu Lao Si hurriedly took the old fishermen, lay down on the edge of the boat, and looked down.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others also stared at Haizhong curiously.

It's a pity that after traveling for so long, apart from the sea water, there are some seabirds in the sea.
