Chapter 132: Going to Sea to Hunt for Whaling
The East China Sea Fishing Industry is on its way again!
This time, there were more people who came to see them off.
Although Li Kuan had already explained that the sea monster was actually a whale, the rumor that the East China Sea fishery encountered a monster at sea was still spread intentionally or unintentionally, so that everyone in Dengzhou Mansion knew about it.
"Envoy, what do you say His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks, I can't understand it now."
Chun Yubo stood beside Chun Yujian, unable to understand why Li Kuan personally took a group of untouchables to the sea to catch sea monsters.
Don't you want to die?
"Humph! His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still too young, and he will not look back if he does not suffer a few losses. ”
Although during this time, the situation in Dengzhou Mansion was thriving, and the history of Chun Yu was definitely able to share some credit, but he was not happy.
The life of the people in Dengzhou is better, but the income of Chunyu's family has decreased.
The food hoarded at high prices was smashed in the hands.
No one asked for the load of salt in the storeroom.
Now there are more than 2,000 families in Dengzhou who rely on the king of Chu for food, and many times the king of Chu is much more effective than his own envoy.
How can this make Chun Yu Nan happy?
"Envoy, do you think we have any chance to cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Chu? I think that during this period, many outsiders came to Dengzhou Prefecture one after another, and they bought land near the wharf, some of them seemed to be preparing to go out to sea to fish with the East China Sea fishery, and some were to sell things transported from all over the world. ”
"Humph! His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been in Dengzhou for more than a month, except for us to visit him, when did he call us to him? He doesn't have me in his eyes at all. Besides, Chun Yu's family is deeply rooted in Dengzhou Mansion, it is difficult to guarantee that the imperial court will not have any ideas, you still want to cooperate with the King of Chu, isn't this seeking skin with the tiger? ”
On the dock, Chun Yunan and Chun Yubo were talking in a low voice, and not far away, several other merchants who had hurried over were also talking.
"Brother Chen, I have inquired clearly in the past two days, and all the goods in the salted fish workshop have been shipped away, and there is nothing extra to sell to us."
"Originally, I thought that the salted fish in the seafood house was so easy to sell, and I was going to transport it to Huainan Road to sell it, but I didn't expect it to be out of stock."
The two who spoke were Chen Jin and Liu Wenfei, merchants in the West Market.
Chen Jin used to be mainly engaged in the silk business, but recently due to the impact of wool, his business has deteriorated, so he wants to develop another business; And Liu Wenfei is a typical example of selling whatever makes money.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally led a team to the sea to catch the sea monster, if the sea monster is not removed, don't think about any more salted fish." Liu Wenfei looked at the ships that were constantly moving away, and a worried look appeared on his face.
"Seven or eight feet long, two feet high, a mountain-like sea monster, it's not so easy to get rid of."
Although Chen Jin also hoped that Li Kuan would return smoothly, he was not very confident.
……
Cheng Chumo and the others went to sea for the first time, and after getting on the boat, they ran around excitedly.
Yu Chihuan even climbed the mast and had an addiction to being a lookout with Yang Qiwa, especially when he saw the telescope in Yang Qiwa's hand, he was almost reluctant to go down.
"Qiwa, where did this telescope come from?" Cheng Chumo's class consciousness is sometimes not so strong, and at this time, in order to figure out the situation, he is licking his face and standing on the top of the mast with Yang Qiwa, and it doesn't matter if the sea breeze is whistling.
"From above."
At the beginning, Yang Qiwa was still a little in awe of the son of the prince, and after being in contact for a while, it was time to do something.
"Do you know which workshop made it, or where you bought it?"
"I don't know!" After Yang Qiwa finished speaking, she added, "You ask the prince, he should know." ”
Nonsense, of course I know that Li Kuan knows, isn't it embarrassing to ask him!
Cheng Chumo was in no mood to stay on the mast, and slipped down to the deck.
"Tuesday Fu, come, tell me about the sea monster again."
Unlike others, Cheng Chumo heard that this time he was going to deal with the "sea monster", not only was he not nervous, but he was very excited and excited.
As the sons of noble lords born with golden keys, they need the opportunity to prove themselves too much.
If you can catch a sea monster and go back, presumably those uncles and brothers in Chang'an City should change a little when they look at themselves again, right?
"Cheng Langjun, this sea monster...... No, everything I know about this whale has been said, and I don't know the rest, why don't you ask the prince? ”
Tuesday Fu felt that he was about to become Xianglin's sister-in-law, well, if he knew Xianglin's sister-in-law.
Since Cheng Chumo appeared a few times, he asked himself about the situation of the whale one after another, and the key was that it was not enough to explain it once, and he came over again after a while.
I'm almost able to memorize what I said.
"Forget it, what kind of navigator are you, you are not as good as a person like King Chu who went to sea for the second time!"
Cheng Chu muttered silently and walked towards Li Kuan.
"Brother Cheng, although this whale is not everywhere, there should still be a lot of them off the coast of Dengzhou. Rest assured, if we don't find the whale this time, we won't be sailing. ”
As soon as Li Kuan saw Cheng Chumo coming over, he knew what he wanted to do.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I just saw the harpoon in the harpoon gun, and I deliberately transformed the spear in my hand, so that the whale fell directly under my hands." Fang Yiai also held a two-zhang long Mao gun and came to Li Kuan excitedly.
Li Kuan visually inspected this Mao gun, which weighed at least thirty or forty pounds, or even heavier, that is, Fang Yiai, who was born with infinite strength, was suitable for use.
"Bereavement, don't you learn a few tricks from the prince's guards and start floating, this first whale is definitely my brother's defeated men, don't rob me." Cheng Chumo was a little unhappy when he saw Fang Yiai's appearance.
"And me, I'm the best in the water, and I'll come first to deal with this whale." Yu Chihuan was also eager to try.
"Does any of you have as much strength as I do? Didn't the prince just say that the whale is seven or eight zhang long, and some can even reach ten zhang long, if the strength is not enough, how can it beat it? ”
Fang Yiai's mouth, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chihuan were unhappy.
Li Kuan was speechless when he watched from the sidelines.
If the whale is not powerful, you should be a sick cat?
It's like you're going to catch tadpoles.
"You don't have to fight, if the whale hits it later, you must cooperate with several boats to catch it, and first shoot out the harpoon guns, and then it's time for everyone to play. The wind and waves in the sea are merciless, everyone must not be reckless. ”
The first whale fishing is related to the rebuilding of the crew's confidence, and Li Kuan will never allow failure.
Naturally, they will not let Cheng Chumo and the others fight alone.
The ignorant are fearless.
For example, Fang Yi's love for their virtue, that is, the reappearance of the Tyrannosaurus rex, they also think that they can overturn it!
