Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 318 What is the money for fishing life?
According to the needle at that time, it is divided into twelve floors in total. Now that it has turned to seven, Li Shimin still feels that it can be hotter.

Maybe he thinks that the hotter you sweat, the more you sweat?
Accompanied by Li Shimin here to burn two sticks of incense kung fu, that's all.

Li Shimin was still not finished, so he left with Li Fangchen and went back to the bathroom to scrub again.

Put on a white dress, and then came to a side hall.

There were already maids waiting in the hall, and when they saw His Majesty and His Highness arrived, they hurriedly spread quilts on the soft couch in the hall.

Li Shimin almost made a mistake, but fortunately Li Fangchen put on a show.

Walking to a soft couch and lying down, the maid began to beat the back and feet for His Highness King Qin.

Li Shimin followed suit, walked to the edge of another bed, lay down and enjoyed the maid pinching his shoulders and back.

After a while, he fell into dreamland.

When he woke up again, it was almost nighttime, and Li Fangchen had already changed into his luggage and was waiting inside the house.

"Where are the two maids?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Fangchen said with a wry smile: "After the father fell asleep, they were cleared out by the ministers."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Squeeze the shoulder for me, arrange it tonight."

Well, is this fancy?

After Li Tai is finished, Li Shimin is really a father and son, and the two have a problem.

But Li Fangchen didn't go into it too deeply. If the maid really got lucky, she might not be able to escape because of her identity as Zhaoyi.

If there is another dragon son, he can be promoted again.

As the prince of his old man, all Li Fangchen can do is make arrangements.

Although it feels like I have done a business.
Forget it, what you love and what I want, just ask back, if the woman is unwilling, arrange for her.

It is estimated that Li Shimin should not be able to tell the difference, especially the way he fell asleep as soon as he came in, and his loud snoring sound.

It seemed that he was really tired, otherwise he wouldn't have slept so drowsily.

Respected His Majesty Tang Taizong, the loud snoring while sleeping is loud!If this sentence is said out, I am afraid that it will cause countless people to reprimand and ridicule.Li Fangchen could only play a prank in his heart, just have fun for himself.

After a hasty dinner, everyone was on their way during the day, so they were tired.

Nothing interesting, go to bed early.

As for the room prepared for Li Shimin, the lights were only turned off at midnight, and it is not known exactly what was done.

On the second day, Li Shimin appeared in front of Li Fangchen refreshed.

There was a lot of blame in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wugou, as if he was saying, you brat, can't you do less immoral things?

Li Fangchen lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. I heard that the maid last night had just been banned from Zhaoyi.

Of course, not Wu Zhaoyi.

A certain little girl surnamed Wu, since she was bumped into by Li Fangchen in the palace last time, has been arranged in Qin Wangzhuang, and asked her to help manage the young children in the village.

It can be regarded as an assistant to Princess Qin Wang Xuan'er, and it can save a lot of trouble at the same time.

Wang Xuan'er also asked Li Fangchen for her, intending to use her as her personal maid.

Li Fangchen trembled in fright, and became a personal maid for the future princess. Doesn't that mean he became a concubine for himself?
How could he agree to such an extremely dangerous thing, he could only vaguely refuse and never agree.

Wu girl, who knew about this, didn't have any dissatisfaction.

Now that her elder sister is in the palace, her status is no more than a Zhaoyi.

Relatively speaking, she, the maid of Prince Qin's mansion, is more at ease and happier.

After breakfast in the other courtyard, Li Shimin proposed to go to the lake to see what kind of lake Li Fangchen and the others built.

No one objected to this opinion, and Changsun Wugou also looked curious.

A group of people went round and round, and came to the lake, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

What used to be just a piece of land has now turned into a scenic lake.

There are two small boats on the shore, which look very strange.

Changsun Wugou covered his mouth and smiled, "Qingque, did you and Yu'er make this by yourself?"

Li Tai blushed slightly, "Mother, filial piety is priceless."

Li Shimin coughed twice, "Yes, I like it very much, Qingque has a heart."

It's a bit embarrassing to put that old turtle ship aside, Li Shimin will never board that ship.

On the other hand, the other ship was a bit of a surprise. It can't be said to be a wonderful workmanship, but it can be regarded as doing its best.

In addition, Li Fangchen also prepared several small boats of other styles, which were sent from Chang'an.

Li Fangchen prepared a gazebo on the shore for people to rest.

"Yu'er, Qingque, come on a boat with me to go fishing in the lake!"

"Yes!"

Liu Sancheng also followed, and was in charge of paddling. If the rest of them wanted to play, they could get on other boats, or sit in the gazebo with their eldest grandson Wugou, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake.

The fishing tackle in the Tang Dynasty was not as complicated as that of later generations. It consisted of a bamboo pole, a long line, a fishhook and bait found from nowhere.

The boat finally stopped in the lake, and Li Shimin closed his eyes to rest.

Li Tai grabbed Liu Sancheng and asked him to help him fish with him.

There were fishing nets on the boat, and I had no chance to play with it before, but now that I finally had the chance, Li Tai naturally couldn't let it go.

Liu Sancheng didn't know how to catch fish, so he could only study with Li Tai for a long time.

Finally, Li Fangchen grabbed the fishing net, cast it down forcefully, and let Li Tai pull it back.

It was okay at the beginning, but then it started to struggle, and Li Tai was a bit reluctant alone.

The center of gravity on the boat was already unstable, not to mention that Li Tai, a landlubber, almost capsized overboard.

Li Fangchen had no choice but to go up to help, and the two brothers spent a long time trying to catch some fish with fishing nets.

Originally, Li Fangchen was just trying it out. After all, in the small videos of later generations, as long as the area that can be casted is large enough, and there are really live fish in the water, a few will usually be caught.

Li Shimin had fun watching it, and then tried it, and the result was much more fish than Li Fangchen and the others caught.

Li Shimin was thoughtful, "Yu'er, do you think this is the life of a fisherman?"

Li Fangchen hesitated for a moment, called Li Tai to sit down, and then explained: "I don't know, but there are many fish in this small lake, which is much easier than fishing in rivers. If it is a coastal place, there may be a lot of fish." .”

Li Shimin asked, "How much is a fish?"

Li Fangchen shook his head and didn't know, and Li Tai didn't know either, but Liu Sancheng replied: "Your Majesty, this old slave knows that in Chang'an City, live fish costs ten coins, and dead fish costs four."

Li Shimin stroked his beard, "If you calculate this, I'm afraid it's two nets, and I'll have dozens of wen?"

If you work harder, a hundred words a day is not a problem, right?

Is it possible that a fisherman can earn more than ten guan in a month?

Li Fangchen shook his head and said, "Father, this calculation is wrong."

"No? Why?"

"The cost of the boat is still several times to build a private boat. It is dangerous to go out to the sea and the river. If the small boat capsizes, most of the people will die. If it is replaced by a large boat, it will not be dozens or hundreds of times. Then there are tools. A fishing net with a hundred wen will inevitably be damaged after a few trips, and it will be troublesome to repair it. What's more, it is so dangerous to go out to sea by one person, but if it is divided into three or two people, I am afraid that it will not be more than fifty wen a day!"

"Fifty Words"

Li Fangchen said again: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons rotate, and it is impossible to sail a boat to fish every day. Even if he counts three seasons, it is less than ten guan a year. Counting two meals a day, the grain is tens of pennies a load. I am afraid It is the last thing that can really survive, but only Baiwen."

Following Li Fangchen's thoughts, Li Shimin added: "Injured or dead, I'm afraid it will be just a lonely grave in the end."

Li Fangchen nodded and said: "Father, the task is heavy and there is a long way to go! What's more, in the land near the sea, the price of fish is low, far less expensive than Chang'an."

"Good, I understand."

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Li Tai knew exactly what charade they were playing.

They count the cost of life, how much money can a fisherman save by working his life all year round?

I am afraid that in the end, they will not earn as much as the tenants of a family, let alone live a good life.

Farming is much safer than fishermen!
