I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 245

The fishing ability of the new fishing net exceeded everyone's expectations, even Wang Zi'an was a little surprised.After all, although this fishing net refers to the specifications and styles of the previous fishing net, the material of the fishing net is far inferior.For example, although this rope is made of high-quality silk thread, which ensures its toughness, it is completely incomparable with common net ropes such as nylon ropes in later generations in terms of dehydration.

What's more, due to the urgent time, these newly made fishing nets have not undergone conventional painting and other processes, and the dehydration performance has decreased again.As a result, Wang Zi'an had to hang some polished relatively smooth pebbles on the lower edge of the fishing net to speed up the speed of the fishing net entering the water.

From Wang Zi'an's point of view, these fishing nets are crude semi-finished products, but the results are really quite good. At least in the eyes of the people around, this new fishing net is no doubt an artifact.

Fishing nets were also used in the Tang Dynasty, but they were simple scooping nets, gillnets, seine nets and some simple net-laying fishing gear, because the material of the fishing nets was mostly hemp rope, which had poor dehydration and the format of the fishing nets was also poor. It is not as scientific as the later generations, which leads to poor fishing effect. If you can catch a few catties or a dozen catties with one net, it is considered a great harvest.

But Wang Zi'an's net is worth hundreds of catties!
Li Ke was very excited to do it himself, helping to clean up the results from the fishing net. Even the usually calm and refined old man Li Jing couldn't help but squat down to help.At this time, the fishing team couldn't hold back any longer, Chang Hao braced himself, and went into the water one after another, carrying the fishing nets to start working.

Although the effect is not as good as Wang Zi'an's net, but the result is not cheap. One net weighs seventy or eighty catties, and the more can weigh eighty or ninety catties.Of course, these are veterans who have caught fish before. Many of those who have never caught fish have not even been able to let go of the net, and some even threw the net and others into the river together. Get on the bamboo raft.It made everyone around laugh.

Although there was a joke, everyone was in a good mood.A group of people suffering from hunger and cold suddenly saw the hope of life, and the joy was clearly written on their faces.Immediately, the experienced and the inexperienced were mobilized, and the entire fishing team entered the state.

Li Ke couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and excitedly gave Wang Zi'an a thumbs up.Li Jing also had a relaxed expression on his face.After all, the most urgent problem at present has been solved for the time being.However, Wang Zi'an is not as optimistic as they are. He knows in his heart that he has harvested so much today because of the good ecology of Datang. With the spread of the fishing army, the amount of fish near Bianzhou will be greatly reduced. To solve the problem of food for these refugees, we have to count on the work-for-relief in the future.

With the hope of survival, the entire refugee camp was full of vitality from top to bottom, and the situation unexpectedly stabilized again.

In the Governor's Mansion, Bu Liang's face was a bit ugly.

In order to compete for the right to speak on the construction of the expressway, he secretly instructed the powerful gentry in these places in Bianzhou to delay the confirmation of the project and put pressure on Li Ke.Unexpectedly, in the evening of that day, "bad news" came from outside the city.The legendary Wang Zi'an invented a new type of fishing net. It is said that one net can catch hundreds of catties of fish, and solved the problem of food for the rioters in one fell swoop. up...

Wrong!

He had a bad premonition. When the news got out tomorrow, the project approval would probably be unstoppable, and the initiative would no longer be on his side.

Sure enough, it was useless to wait until the next day, when he received the bad news that night.

Qian Kuan, the treasurer of Bianzhou Commercial Bank, went out of the city overnight to make a claim!
This fat man who changes the direction of the wind!

Bu Liang was so angry that he only gritted his back molars.

But there was nothing he could do, His Royal Highness King Shu's thighs were obviously much thicker than his own.This fellow wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with His Highness the King of Shu, no wonder he was so attentive that day!
Qian Kuan was the first wealthy businessman in Bianzhou City to come to pledge.His Royal Highness Li Ke gave enough face and made a reception in person, and the two chatted happily.Qian Kuan said that he had no opinion on the drawings provided by His Highness the King of Shu, and fully supported them. He was willing to pay [-] shi of grain first, and then raise another [-] shi of grain within half a month. There will be [-] yuan of money as additional funds for the raised funds for the road.

Li Ke was overjoyed, and decided on the spot to appoint Qian Kuan as the deputy project manager of the Bianzhou-Luoyang section, to assist him in handling matters, and afterwards, he would reward him for his merits. If he performed well, it was not impossible to enter the Shu Palace.Qian Kuan kowtowed his head in gratitude, expressing that he would do his best and devote himself to repay His Highness the King of Shu for his great kindness.

The private meeting had a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and both sides expressed their satisfaction.Afterwards, His Royal Highness the King of Shu personally sent him out of the gate of the camp, and Qian Kuan bid farewell to him again and again.

Qian Kuan took the lead in investing in Wanshi Grain and Grass, plus [-] guan, and recognized the expressway. He was appointed by His Royal Highness the King of Shu as the deputy director of the Bianzhou-Luoyang section, and personally sent the news outside the door. That night, it spread like wind throughout the city. .Some people in the know even revealed in private that His Royal Highness the King of Shu still has a few places for deputy managers...

Li Ke's daughter's horse bone is very useful.

This time, many people were really moved.Although Bu Liang is powerful, he is just a water official after all. In comparison, the King of Shu is obviously more advantageous. If he can get into the eyes of the King of Shu, he might not be able to follow his family business to the next step. Has Qian Kuan already seized the opportunity?

That night, many people didn't sleep well, each thinking about their own affairs.

Early the next morning, outside the city, the camp where His Royal Highness the King of Shu was temporarily stationed became lively.

"Hey, this isn't Brother Zhang, what a coincidence—"

"Hey, Brother Song, what a coincidence, what a coincidence—"

"Yo—Brother Zhu is here too, what a coincidence—"

……

Everyone crowded outside the camp gate of His Highness King Shu, you looked at me, I looked at you, haha, tacit understanding.However, each of them was crazy about the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors, and secretly raised the number of their own pledges by one level.

The project of His Royal Highness the King of Shu to build an expressway is on fire before it is established!
The situation that seemed to be unbearable suddenly became very stable.

The climate of the victims has changed drastically. Although they are still dressed in rags and their faces are full of color, their eyes are full of radiance.The whole promise began to glow with vitality that it had never had before.Old people, women and children are busy weaving new-style fishing nets known as Zi’an nets, while children gather wild vegetables and prepare firewood. Men from the fishing team support bamboo rafts and go down the river to catch fish. Men from the construction team are responsible for making These temporary camps were reinforced, and there was a scene of enthusiasm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jing smiled and looked back at Wang Zi'an beside him.

"Zian, all this is thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how this situation will end—"

"Without Zi'an, I really can't imagine such a situation. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind from Chang'an..."

Li Ke looked at Chang'an with a leisurely gaze.
