"The minister has developed a way to keep the fish fresh for a long time, and is experimenting with tackling key problems, if this is done, the coastal fish can be supplied to the mainland, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, can be practical, and will have a huge ......benefit to enhance the national physique of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin carefully watched Li Mu's recital, he was silent for a moment, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Gao Gonggong, "Did I guess wrong again?" This kid is not looking for a way back for himself, but really for the sake of the people? ”

Gao Gonggong opened his mouth, and seeing that Li Shimin didn't mean to ask further, he pondered for a while, but still closed his mouth.

Li Shimin pondered in his heart.

What is fish, it is meat, and it is also food. The reason is very simple, if you eat fish, your stomach will be full, and you will naturally eat less food. The abundance of fish means that the shortage of food will be alleviated. And if Li Mu can find a way to keep it fresh for a long time, it means that the inexhaustible fish and meat along the coast can benefit the people in the inland.

Li Shimin carefully chewed on the words of the song: "If you want the country to be rich and strong, you must not ignore the sea, wealth is taken from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea......"

What dangers can there be at sea?

Li Shimin couldn't imagine that this was not Li Shimin's business, and the emperors of all dynasties couldn't imagine it. Because of their enemies, there are none from the sea. But Li Muxu said it in a matter-of-fact manner, and Li Shimin believed that Li Mu was rarely serious, but what he said in a serious tone was not fulfilled.

Li Mu meant that a naval army would be set up in Mingzhou, but such a major event could not be decided casually, and it had to be handed over to the Ministry of War for discussion, even if it was finally decided, there was a certain process to go, and it was not something that could be solved in a few words.

Li Shimin called over a small eunuch and asked him to take the page of the letter on the establishment of a naval army to the military department, and let Hou Junji organize people to discuss. He put away all the other letters and let Gao Gonggong keep them.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at the skeletons that were sent?" Gao Gonggong asked in a low voice.

"Already shipped?"

"Some of them were brought over, and the little eunuch reported that a tooth is as tall as a person." Gao Gonggong said with a smile: "The sailor who sent the fish also said that at that time, Hou Ye led the boat out to sea, met a whale, fought to the death, and killed the sea so that the sea was dyed red, and the whale was as big as the ship, and the two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat......"

Li Shimin smiled speechlessly and bitterly, no matter how you listen to this, it seems to be nonsense!

"There's no such thing, it's an exaggeration." Li Shimin didn't believe it, he had never seen a whale, and he really couldn't imagine the size of the whale.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false, I really want to see, where did such a big fish come from, your words, I don't believe it, it's too unbelievable, when it's all here, put it together, I will see the real thing."

"Your Majesty." Gao Gonggong praised it, but in fact, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he didn't believe it.

……

Li Shimin didn't believe it, but some people did. Li Chengqian believed it, he went to see the whale's teeth for the first time, and it was indeed a person tall. In order to see the whole picture of the whale at the first time, he sent people to guard the city gate, and once they were transported into the city, he wanted to know as soon as possible.

On this day, after lunch, a little eunuch ran in with a sigh of relief, disturbing Li Chengqian, who was drinking tea with his heart, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and was about to scold, so he listened to the little eunuch's report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, enter the palace, enter the palace, and pass the Chengtian Gate!" ”

"What entered the palace-" Li Chengqian suddenly reacted and said, "It's all delivered??" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, many people are watching!"

Li Chengqian grabbed his hand: "Hurry up!" ”

Xiangxin hesitated a little and wanted to pull his hand out, but Li Chengqian grabbed it tightly, and he had no choice but to let it go, and with his strength, he dragged it away.

The two of them came to Chengtianmen all the way, the giant whale had already entered the city gate, and the officials of the various yamen in the imperial city ran out, and the sound of exclamation came one after another.

The huge bones rested on the ground under the lifting of countless forbidden army captains.

Only in the Imperial City can there be enough space to display the whale's bones.

The whale bones are too big, a pair of vertebrae, fully twenty meters long, hundreds of people are like carrying a sedan chair, panting and carrying, many people are already tired and about to lie down, and when they carefully place it on the ground, they are all already sweating profusely.

Whales are mammals, not fish as we know them, and their bones are not the same as those of fish. The scary thing is its jawbone, which is large enough to hold a small building.

And the huge ribs, shocking.

This is too busy for the Forbidden Army captains, and just moving this thing is a big project.

But...... There is nothing lacking in the palace, but what is not lacking is people. The captain of the forbidden army, the master eunuch, all those who can move and resist, they have all started, and the speed of carrying is not slow.

Looking at this behemoth, everyone subconsciously gasped.

That's too big!

Li Shimin was originally not very interested in the whale described by Li Mu. In other words, he didn't believe Li Mu's exaggerated description of whales at all.

When he learned that the whales had arrived, he even ...... He didn't want to come to see it at all, wouldn't it be good to have this time to review a few recitals? It's just because he forgot about this matter, and Gao Gonggong thought that he still wanted to see it, so he let people bring it in, and they had already been brought in, so he didn't look at it in vain, so he slowly came over.

When he saw this skeleton, Li Shimin was stunned.

This skeleton is bigger than an ordinary temple.

Especially under this skeleton, the captains and eunuchs who carried the small bones back and forth were walking back and forth like a swarm of ants.

Li Shimin's inner ...... Shocked.

This is the whale ......

The high father-in-law behind him was startled, his face turned white, for fear that this was a monster and would collide with the holy driver, he subconsciously wanted to pull Li Shimin.

But Li Shimin had already stepped up his pace and came to the whale.

Around here, many officials on duty were pointing and whispering.

Looking up at this huge skeleton, Rao is a battle-hardened veteran, and he will also have a feeling of suffocation.

Li Shimin had already approached slowly, standing under a rib, he weighed it, his expression was complicated, he raised his head, was silent, suddenly lowered his head, and then, sideways.

"Your Majesty...... It's a big fish. The Chinese book next to him made Cen Wenwen admire.

This is nonsense.

"Your Majesty, see this fish, your ...... The minister is very prosperous. "It was Yu Shinan who spoke, he was a calligrapher, and his poems were not good, but he always liked to come to such a poem.

Li Shimin didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, he saw the stunned faces, even Fang Xuanling, who was a step slower, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others who came after hearing the news. They were the same, stunned.

There is only one person......

Changsun Chong, the new president of Datang Bank, just looked at the skeleton of the giant whale, without squeaking, and of course, there was no horror on his face.

Except for a little surprise at first glance, Changsun Chong didn't react. After becoming the president of Datang Bank, Changsun Chong is becoming more and more stable.

"Eldest Sun Chong."

Hearing the voice, Changsun Chong was silent for a moment, and stepped forward: "The minister is here." ”

"Look at this whale, are you surprised?"

"Surprised!" Eldest Sun Chong thought for a moment and replied.

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, what kind of master and apprentice, he obviously turned a blind eye, but he still replied like this. The ability to see people and talk about people, and the ability to tell ghosts is really perfect, and you don't blush when you lie.

"Come, stand by my side."

The eldest grandson Chong came to Li Shimin and stood still, and followed his example, looking up at the whale's bones.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Chong and found that he didn't have the slightest intention of pretending, he was really calm, this whale really didn't surprise him.

Could it be that Li Mu revealed the news in advance? No, Li Mu caught a whale for the first time, and he hadn't seen it before, so it was impossible for him to mention it to Changsun Chong. But why wasn't Changsun Chong surprised at all?

If it's not stupid, then there is only one answer, this son is not shocked, there is a demeanor of Mount Tai collapsing in front and not changing color.

Li Shimin admired the eldest grandson Chong very much, in all dynasties, he could always see some upright ministers from the history books all kinds of records of not being surprised, only traitors and thieves, only the color of the traitor, panicked.

The so-called villains are relatives and gentlemen are frank. Aside from the monarch and ministers, he is still the uncle of Changsun Chong, and he is also very happy that Changsun Chong can have a future.

He took his eldest grandson Chong to shuttle under the bones, which were much taller than people and could walk through.

"What do you think about that?"

Li Shimin had the intention of taking the test for Sun Chong.

The eldest grandson Chong thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, this fish is probably hundreds of thousands of catties, if one person divides one catty of meat, catching such a whale meat can fill the stomachs of 200,000 people once." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head: "Yes, one pound of meat can be given to a common people, these hundreds of thousands of catties can make hundreds of thousands of people make a day's rations, no matter whether it is delicious or not, in the year of famine, it can save its life!" ”

"It's just a whale." Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Chong and said, "Your first thought is meat, you want to remind me that this meat can be used to feed the people, just like your master thought." Yes, the people are living hard, they have meat to eat, I don't know how much I should like it, but there is nothing wrong with thinking so. ”

Li Shimin smiled, and he pointed to his heart: "Whether it is for the king or for the official, in the bottom of this heart, you can't just pretend to be yourself, you have to have a family, you have to have a country, you have to have the world." But this country has a thousand words and ten thousand, and it is nothing more than one word - 'people'! is worthy of being Li Mu's disciple, a famous teacher and a high apprentice! ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be." The eldest grandson Chong was silent, his face unfazed.

received this compliment, but he didn't show joy. Li Shimin is very satisfied, this point will surpass his master, if Li Mu gets such praise, he will already go to the sky.

Li Shimin's hand gently rubbed the giant bone, and suddenly his body trembled, and the eldest grandson hurriedly supported him: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Do you need to pass on the Imperial Doctor? ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just thought of one thing." Li Shimin came to the side of a forbidden soldier and pulled out the saber at his waist, and the janissary was startled and fell down in panic.

Li Shimin held the sword in both hands, and the people who ate melons changed color.

Li Shimin drew his sword and stood in front of the whale's bones, and the atmosphere froze. Li Shimin confronted the skeleton for a while, and suddenly handed the saber to Changsun Chong: "The Qing family holds this sword, if this whale survives, will the Qing family dare to fight with it?" ”

"Minister......" The eldest grandson Chong wanted to say why he didn't dare, but when he took the saber and pointed it at the whale, he suddenly found that his hands were trembling.

After a stalemate for a while, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just thought of one thing." Li Shimin came to the side of a forbidden soldier and pulled out the saber at his waist, and the janissary was startled and fell down in panic.

Li Shimin held the sword in both hands, and the people who ate melons changed color.

The hand that did not tremble when he killed people trembled in the face of a pair of bones.
