Zeng Yu and they continued on the road after a few days of repairs in Qi County, and this time their destination was Nanpi, the seat of governance in Bohai County. After ten days of rest, Guo Jia's body should also recover, and after the previous period of training, although there was a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Nanpi on the road of Qixian County, but after a few days, they still rushed to Nanpi smoothly.

Although Nanpi is a county seat like Pingyuan County, it is obviously different from Pingyuan, and in terms of guarding the city gate, it is more careful than Pingyuan.

"Stop, where did you come from, what are you doing in the city?"

Several guards saw Zeng Yu and them riding tall horses straight to the city gate from a distance, and walked forward with spears to stop them, one of them seemed to be the guard of the captain and asked them.

"Back to Master Jun, we were ordered to go to Hejian County to do business, this is our paperwork." Xu Yang, a personal soldier, stepped forward and replied, and at the same time took out a document from his bosom and handed it to the guard.

After Cui Yuan knew their plans from Zeng Yu's mouth, he was worried that they would receive difficulties in various counties and counties in Jizhou, so he issued them a pass document as a child of the Cui family and a county commander of Chiping, which was a small gift to them.

Whether it is the Qinghe Cui family or the Boling Cui family, they are all famous big families in Jizhou. Sure enough, the guard opened the paperwork and saw the mark of the Boling Cui clan behind him, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask who this Master Cui is?" ”

"It's Lord Cui, the county commander of Chiping County, Pingyuan County." Xu Yang replied.

The leader of the guards looked at them and shouted to the guards behind him, "Release!" ”

Entering Nanpi County, what comes into view is a prosperous scene, Bohai County because of the sea, the fishery is very developed, and then the whole county's livelihood economy has been driven. Nanpi County, as a county office, is naturally not comparable to other counties, the county's seaside merchants will transport their fish to the county, and most of the merchants from other places also come here to purchase.

Zeng Yu and they entered the county seat, and saw that almost all the shops on both sides of the street were fishery-related, such as fish shops, fishing gear, etc., they had been in the mainland before, especially like Zhu Wen and Zhao Yi, this was the first time to come to the county town by the sea, and it felt very novel. At this time, people rarely eat fish, and the transportation is not developed, and only a few people have seen marine fish, and even fewer have eaten them, when passing by some fish shops, although Zhu Wen and Zhao Yi were not amazed, but from their expressions, it can be seen that they are very surprised in their hearts.

"My lord, how did these fish look like this, completely different from what we had seen before?" When Zhao Yi was passing by a fish shop, he saw an octopus, which was the first time he had seen this kind of fish, so he asked Zeng Yu curiously.

"It's called an octopus, also called an octopus, and it's a fish that lives in the sea. This fish has a ability, that is, when they encounter danger, they can spray ink out, and can also change their eye color, it is a very survivable fish, of course, its taste is also very good. Zeng Yu didn't expect to see octopuses in Dahan County in this era, and when he heard Zhao Yi ask, he carefully introduced it to him.

"The world is so big, it's all wonderful!" Guo Jia sighed beside him, but he didn't know if he was talking about this fish or something else.

Guo Jia didn't know Zeng Yu's past experience, he had the impression that the lord Zeng Yu was just a descendant of the Guiguzi lineage, just now he saw Zhao Yi ask Zeng Yu as a matter of course, and Zeng Yu quickly told the answer, obviously in their minds, Zeng Yu knew that these were normal things.

Hearing Guo Jia's emotion next to him, Zeng Yu turned his head to look at him, and continued, "Now our boat is not suitable for long-distance sailing, and the fishing industry of our Han is not large, so many people have never seen it. ”

"'There is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is!' Does the lord mean that the Kun described in Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away" really exists? "Zhuangzi is a Taoist person who is transcendent in the eyes of everyone, and the descriptions in many of his works can only look at the kind of artistic conception expressed in them, and the specific things in them cannot be taken seriously, so when Zeng Yu said to take them to see what Kun is, neither Zhao Yi nor Guo Jia, nor Zhu Wen can believe it, and Zhao Yi directly expresses his doubts.

"That's right, a fish the size of an island, you say it's not a kun, what is that?" Zeng Yu expected them to react like this, he nodded and responded with a smile.

"If there really is such a big fish, once we catch it, won't it be enough for everyone in our county to eat." Zhu Wen had already believed what Zeng Yu said at this time, but his feeling about Kun was that it was enough for how many people to eat and how long to eat.

"Haha, you'll know then." Zeng Yu said with a laugh.

They didn't stay at the fish shop for long, and after watching it for a while, they left. They had been repaired in Fei County before, so they didn't plan to stay in Bohai County for too long, but Zeng Yu didn't plan to treat himself badly, and they came to what is said to be the largest inn in Nanpi County after inquiring.

After moving in, Zeng Yu explained to everyone his plans in Nanpi County, or everyone went out in batches to inquire about the news, in addition to ensuring that there were three people in the inn at all times to guard the salute and war horses, the other two followed Zeng Yu four people, and the other five personal soldiers were free to investigate.

After arranging everyone, the next thing is, of course, to have a good meal, they only arrived in Nanpi in the afternoon, and they were delayed by going to the county seat to visit the shops just now, and it was time for dinner at this time.

Bohai County has a developed fishing industry, Zeng Yu's first choice is, of course, to eat fish, although Zeng Yu wants to eat more seafood dinner, but there is no such thing in this era, only some common marine fish in the coastal waters.

However, when the whole fish banquet in the restaurant was served, Guo Jia, who rarely eats these things, was very excited about it and couldn't wait to eat it all in their stomachs. When Zeng Yu spoke, Guo Jia and the other three and two personal soldiers immediately picked up chopsticks and aimed at the food they fancied.

It's just that they are all inlanders, they usually eat less fish, and they are stuck by fish bones while enjoying the delicious taste of fish, so during the meal, the sound of coughing fish bones sounded from time to time, including Zeng Yu.

After leaving the restaurant, Zeng Yu said, "It seems that you have to eat fish often in the future, otherwise you will forget how to eat fish." ”

"I think the lord is a marrow eater, I'm worried that I won't be able to eat such food in the future!" After traveling for so long and getting along day and night, Zhao Yi himself is also from Qianlong Village, and his attitude towards Zeng Yu is not as restrained as at the beginning, and he can't help but ridicule his lord verbally.

"Haha, that's kind of a reason. But it's more about letting the soldiers eat fish, you all know about night blindness, and even most of you have it, if you want to cure this night blindness, eating fish is a very simple way. Zeng Yu smiled and explained to them.

"Really?" Guo Jia said excitedly.

Zeng Yu looked around, did not answer, but walked forward. Guo Jia and the others also knew that this place was mixed and not a place to talk, so they held back the doubts in their hearts and kept up with Zeng Yu, if what Zeng Yu said was true, he would naturally explain it to them.

After nightfall, Nanpi County is still very lively, at this time there are still a few days before the autumn, the weather is still relatively hot, but it is the hearts of the people that are hotter. After the autumn, there is less fishing, so the period before the autumn is the busiest and happiest time of the year for fishermen, the fish are more fat, and everyone makes money, so they naturally want to buy what they usually want to buy but can't.

"Fengxiao, what do you think of this Nanpi County or this Bohai County?" On the way back, Zeng Yu asked.

"It's a good place with a lot of resources, but its location limits its development." Guo Jia replied quickly.

"Well, yes, but the fishery alone is worth the preparation." Zeng Yu said.

Guo Jia knew that Zeng Yu had already taken a fancy to Bohai County, and he said directly, "After the lord goes back, he can ask Zhiyuan to send someone over first." ”

"Well, Feng Xiao will also help when he arrives, and now we really need the fish produced by Bohai County." Zeng Yu nodded in agreement.

"My lord, what did you just say about night blindness?" Guo Jia was still thinking about Zeng Yu's mention that eating fish can cure night blindness just now, and he had returned to the inn at this time, and immediately couldn't help asking.

"This is what I saw in an ancient book, and it is full of some partial techniques and the like, and through the verification of some other tricks in it, this method should also be practical." Zeng Yu found an excuse to explain, mainly to deal with Guo Jia's inquiry.

Guo Jia saw the expressions of Zhu Wen and Zhao Yi next to him, and knew that the two trusted Zeng Yu unreservedly, and he didn't say anything after listening to Zeng Yu's explanation. Whether he believes Zeng Yu's explanation or not, at least he believes Zeng Yu's method that eating fish can cure night blindness, after all, Zeng Yu doesn't need to lie to him about this question.

At this time, people rarely ate fish, vitamin deficiencies, and almost all of them had night blindness, so the general battle took place during the day, and at night, even if there was a fight, torches had to be raised, which led to the difficulty of night attacks.

If Zeng Yu's soldiers were able to cure night blindness, they would have a huge advantage in battle, especially at night. As long as Guo Jia thought that the soldiers on his side were not greatly affected at night, and the local soldiers were as if they were blind, then if the night attack was still a hard battle, it would be better to disarm and return to the field.

"Lord, we must first take the coastal counties, such as Bohai County, or Youzhou." Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, with that expression that he couldn't wait to be able to take a coastal county immediately.

"Let's go back and plan well, although we can't do it now, but the preparations must be prepared in advance, and this part will be handed over to you and Zhiyuan." Zeng Yu naturally agreed with Guo Jia's point of view, but Xie Jing, the person who implemented the specific plan, was not there, so they could only wait until they went back to determine the specific plan.
