Chapter Ninety-Three: Return to Port

However, Chen Zheng's words in Xiao Zan's ears made him feel a little awkward.

It is obviously a very lethal pedal crossbow, but it can only be covered up in the name of fishing, and Xiao Zan also discovered that there seems to be a stone thrower on the boat.

Is this also for fishing?

Xiao Zan himself knows that since the first emperor, he has been implementing a ban on the sea.

In the sea, except for some small fishing boats, there is no Liang State strength at all, which also leads to the prevalence of pirates in the sea.

Xiao Zan vaguely remembered that his father had discussed this matter with him, and often lamented that the ban on the sea was too restrictive to the Liang State.

Xiao Zan knew in his heart that his father wanted to abolish the ban on the sea.

It's just that, after all, this ban on the sea was promulgated by the emperor, and it is not easy to abolish it.

There are many voices of opposition in the court alone.

Therefore, for the situation here in Dongyang County, Emperor Daliang also turned a blind eye, and as long as the reason was reasonable, he would ignore it.

The fishing boat raised its sails again, and Asahi checked the hull and found that there was no damage except for a few cracks in the bow of the plank.

This shocked Xu Sheng's heart, the power of the collision with the sea whale just now was really terrifying.

Xusheng was even ready to destroy the ship and sacrifice his life for righteousness, but now it seems that the ship has cracked a few cracks, and there is not even a hole.

The hardness of this fishing boat is terrifying!

At this time, the fishermen and boatmen on the fishing boat all stood tall and proud.

Only the best hunters can hunt the whales that are the dominant whales in this ocean, and they have certainly done it.

This alone is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

A few fishermen even thought about going to Qunfanglou in Dongyang County to have a good time, and by the way, they boasted about their great achievements.

Perhaps, your heroic performance can attract a certain fan and form a good relationship.

The sun was already setting in the west, and the sun was shining on the sea, shining red.

The fishing boat finally arrived at the port of Jiuqu Bay and docked smoothly.

The sharp-eyed ones saw that it was Chen Zheng's exclusive fishing boat, so they hurried up to say hello.

Then they were stunned by the whales towed behind the fishing boat.

"What is this? Is it a sea beast? How is it so big! ”

"You know a ball, this is clearly the Dragon King! Obediently rumbling, how did they kill the Dragon King? ”

Everyone on the shore was gossiping, and most of them didn't know the whale.

Finally, the experienced fisherman came over, took one look, and gasped.

"It's a sea whale! Oh my god, this can be caught too! ”

Sea whales?

It's a sea whale!

After all, they are all people who fish for food on the seashore, and they have never seen this sea whale, but they have always heard of legends.

I heard that this sea whale is as big as a mountain, and it can spray seawater into the sky, and its sound is like a bell, and it can swallow a ship with its mouth open.

Now I saw a real sea whale, well, although it is not as exaggerated as the legend, but it is also a great shock to float quietly in the water.

News of the whale fishing spread far and wide, thanks to the help of the port's boatmen and fishermen.

Many people in Dongyang County put down their work and ran to the port.

The legendary sea whale was caught, this kind of thing is hard to come by, and if you miss this time, who knows if you will be able to see the next time in your lifetime?

Xu Sheng went to beckon a group of slender men to come over, tied the whale with a rope, and with a sound of a trumpet, the whale was pulled to the beach next to the port.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the whale in horror.

When I was in the sea just now, I didn't feel anything, but now I pulled ashore, and the huge body was really terrifying, although this sea whale was dead, it was still so scared that the onlookers didn't dare to step forward easily.

At this time, Yang Xiaoping, who had just come off the fishing boat, sat down directly on the ground after seeing the sea whale, and then he was scared to pee.

This also can't blame him, Yang Xiaoping, who was already timid, never dreamed that the one who was fighting at sea just now turned out to be such a behemoth.

Xiao Zan's face was not good-looking, and when he saw Yang Xiaoping's appearance, he stood a little farther away, for fear of being soiled by filthy things.

Chen Zheng and the others walked over, Li Shuang and Xu Sheng were very excited, and there was no trace of horror.

This sea whale is nearly ten zhang long, which is equivalent to seventeen or eighteen people stacked together, and it is estimated that it weighs tens of thousands of catties.

A moment later, Dongyang County Ling Li Gang also came to the port.

The tolerance group parted the crowd, and Li Gang walked over, and when he saw the sea whales lying on the beach, he couldn't help but stumble under his feet.

"You captured this?" Li Gang asked towards Chen Zheng.

Li Shuang took a step forward and said, "Yes, it was I who caught it in the sea!" ”

Li Gang ignored his son and asked Chen Zheng again, "What does Master Chen plan to do with this sea whale?" ”

"I heard that this sea whale oil is very precious, and I plan to refine fish oil first, and then this sea whale meat cannot be wasted, and it can be sold." Chen Zheng replied.

"What about this sea whalebone?" Li Gang asked.

When Chen Zheng heard this, he immediately understood Li Gang's intentions, and said with a smile: "My lord wants to make a fuss about this sea whalebone?" ”

Li Gang smiled slightly, and said: "I have this intention, if I can transport this sea whale bone to Jianye Capital City and show it to those Shangshu waiters, you will know how many good things there are in this sea." ”

Sure enough, what Li Gang was always thinking about in his heart was to abolish the ban on the sea.

Chen Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Originally, as long as the adults spoke, no matter what, they would be given by their own hands, but they were just ......."

"Just what?" Li Gang asked, "Master Xiao Chen just opened his mouth." ”

Chen Zheng smiled and said: "Just to catch this sea whale, the price is really not small, in addition to the damage to the fishing boat, the fishermen involved in the operation have also suffered some injuries, in the next thought, the fish meat and bones of this sea whale are all sold, give them some compensation, but since the adults have opened their mouths, then this compensation will be from the carpentry workshop." ”

The corners of Li Gang's mouth raised, and he said, "What did Master Chen say, how can this county ask you for sea whale bones for nothing?" ”

"I want to hear about it." Chen Zhengdao.

Li Gang glanced at the sea whale and said, "There is still a period of time before the complete deboning is completed, so take advantage of this time to let the scribe talk to you about the price of the sea whale bone." ”

"Thank you very much." Chen Zhengdao was not polite to Li Gang at all.

The money of the government, if you don't make it, you can't make it in vain!

At this time, a man in the crowd quietly glanced at Xiao Zan, and after seeing that he was fine, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the dead giant sea whale again, the man felt a little fear in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps closer to Xiao Zan.
