I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 205: Fish Eat Bones, Humans Eat Meat!

The literary event in Jiangling City is still going on.

Moreover, with the passage of time, scholars and scholars from other places continued to come, pouring into Jiangling City like wasps.

Suddenly, Jiangling City was completely full.Not only are all the inns and foot shops full of people, even the brothels are full of people.

Otherwise, those inns and foot shops alone would not be enough.

It can be said that the city is full of green clothes, all of whom are scholars.

Although there are many scholars, quantitative changes have not caused qualitative changes.Except for the four eternal absolutes hanging outside the Wangjing Tower and Yanyu Tower, except for the one that was operated in a black box, the other three lower couplets are still in the foreseeable future.

Just blatant sarcasm.

Every day, tens of hundreds of literati and students stand downstairs in a daze, looking up at the four long red ribbons.

Trying to find a glimmer of inspiration.

But not only was there no inspiration, but he was also ashamed and lost to Tokyo City.

Such a grand literary event in Jiangling City didn't need to be deliberately publicized at all, but it still became the headlines of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Including the four eternal absolutes, they also rose with the wind and soared ninety thousand miles.It became the favorite of all literati and students in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Many people are secretly guessing when they are comparing the second couplet, which great Confucianist made such an eternal absolute?

The instigator was not in Jiangling City, but went to Nanping Town.

And Guo Yi's departure exhausted Guanshi Zhu.Every day is so busy that I can only eat four meals a day...

As soon as you open your eyes in the morning, you have to go to the trading market first.Then turn to the south gate, then go to Huangzhuang, blacksmith workshop, bamboo tube workshop, porcelain kiln, rabbit house, and finally outside the north gate.

A full circle.

Fortunately, the matter of digging river sand outside the city and returning fields to lakes was under the control of His Royal Highness King Chu, and was not left to him.

At this time, just three quarters before the hour, the sun was extremely venomous, and His Royal Highness King Chu and Xue Qingzhi were standing by a large lake outside the city against the scorching sun.

His personal servant, Ruyi, stood two steps behind him, holding two bamboo paper umbrellas, one covering his master's head, and the other covering Xue Qingzhi's head.

If it wasn't for his gallantry, the old man is indeed getting old.If it's hot, where can His Royal Highness Chu find such a master who doesn't pay?

Due to the severe drought on Jingbei Road, Xue Qingzhi could not stand by and watch, so he offered to share the worries of His Highness the King of Chu and help deal with some matters.

The king of Chu was naturally very happy.

He has been really busy lately, and every morning, he has to go to Shui Zebei to take a look around.Afterwards, he went to the yamen to handle official documents.

In the afternoon, I will go outside the city to inspect the construction site for returning fields to lakes.In the evening, I have to go to the cultural meeting in front of the Confucius Temple to show my face.

As for the matter of returning the farmland to the lake, it has been more than a month since he issued the official document, but it has been procrastinating and not completed.

The reason is very simple. The small yamen in the city filled the lake to make fields when the lake was dry, and then sold it to those businessmen.

Originally, some of the land reclamation work has been completed, and the two parties have also made a clear settlement.

However, an official document came suddenly, ordering them to return the fields to the lakes.The controversy of the matter is here. Those small yamen have already received the money, so naturally they are unwilling to spit it out.

In this way, those businessmen who paid for it would naturally not give in, so they sued those small yamen with an official document.

As for this kind of trivial matter, His Royal Highness Chu Wang was not in charge of it, but seeing that the two sides have been pushing back and forth for half a month, they still haven't resolved it.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was worried that God would not know when the wind and rain would suddenly blow, so he took care of it himself.

Just like now, the two of them stood by the lake, while the small yamen stood a little restlessly in the distance.

There are four small yamen in one, all of them are descendants of the officials of the Jiangling government office, they are the recorders of the family members who join the army, and the managers of the family members who join the army...

To put it bluntly, they are all his direct subordinates.Therefore, it is not good for him to be harsh on purpose, lest his subordinates be dissatisfied.

After all, it has not caused a catastrophe, as long as it is dealt with in time.

According to his idea, the four small yamen hired some coolies out of their own pockets, and just dug the filled lake back.

Ever since, there is today's scene.

He and Xue Qingzhi stood under the umbrella, but the four small yamen in the distance did not dare to do so. They stood straight under the sun and were soaked in sweat.

Xue Qingzhi glanced at them, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly: "It's good to let them suffer a little, even if it's punishment in disguise!"

"That's right! It's not easy to hit hard, after all, it hasn't caused a disaster, just let them have a long memory!" His Royal Highness King Chu agreed, but he didn't even look at them.

And in the big lake right in front of them, there are thousands of coolies, all wearing knee-length burpees, shirtless and bare-chested, sweating profusely, digging up sand from the lake.

Although the sun is scorching, the wages of a hundred Wen a day are not low.

"According to Erlang's idea, he intends to raise fish in the lake. He has even found the manpower. It is the 'Old Han Village' in the south of the city, which is well-known for its fish farming skills!"

fish culture?

Xue Qingzhi heard the king of Chu mention fish farming, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "It's feasible to raise fish, but if you feed too little, it's not worth it; but if you feed too much, where do you get so much food?
You know, this food is not cheap now! "

"Hehe!" Thinking of Guo Yi's original words, the King of Chu couldn't help laughing: "In the rabbit house in the north of the city, there are six or seven thousand rabbits, and there will be more and more rabbits in the future. What Erlang means is that we eat meat." , fish eat bones!"

Feed fish bones?
Xue Qingzhi couldn't help being taken aback, there is such an operation?

Simply unheard of it!

"Eat bones?"

"En!" King Chu nodded and explained: "First use a water quilt to pound it into slag, then use a water mill to press it into powder, and finally make fish feed with bran and some internal organs of rabbits.

In this way, rabbits and fish can form a virtuous circle, and there is no waste at all. "

Well, this idea seems feasible, but why does it sound so awkward?

He was a little helpless to complain.

suddenly,

A rush of hoofbeats came from far and near.

Both of them involuntarily turned their heads to look at it, but it was a cavalry guard from the palace, who came running quickly.

"Shut up!"

He reined in his horse from afar, dismounted swiftly, and trotted over: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Nanping Town!"

As he spoke, he raised the envelope above his head with both hands and handed it over.

The king of Chu reached out to take it, first checked the paint seal, and saw that the paint seal was intact, so he opened it casually.First, I scanned through ten lines at a glance to make sure there was nothing urgent, then turned my head and read it carefully.

Ho!

　Thank you for the monthly ticket reward of Taoist Master Void 1!
