Li Chengqian took the carriage out of Taiji Palace and then out of Chang'an City, thinking all the way, where to find food in the cold weather?

Seeing that it was getting dark, the victims outside the city had not yet eaten their second meal, and Li Chengqian had only eaten some snacks at the end of the day, and people couldn't help but want to eat when they were hungry.

At this time, it was freezing cold, but Li Chengqian remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life, what 'stick beats roe deer, scoops fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot.' ’

When he read this text when he was a child, he was very envious of the natural environment of the Great Northern Wilderness, which is vast and sparsely populated and rich in wild things, even if it is Chang'an Guanzhong in this life, although it is densely populated at this time, I am afraid it will not be much stronger than the Northern Wilderness in later generations, and the people of the Great Northern Wilderness in later generations can find food in the snow, and now they can't find food outside Chang'an City?

But these victims themselves came out of the mountains, and it must be difficult to find food in the mountains.

I had to go to the water to find food, but there was a thick ice on the surface of the river, and many of the victims came directly from the frozen surface.

Icing?

Li Chengqian's mind suddenly flashed in his mind, the river froze, and the fish under the ice seemed to be stupid and very easy to catch, I remember that Li Chengqian had watched a show in his previous life and had a picture of winter fishing, and later people also made a table of whole fish feast, thinking of the whole fish banquet Li Chengqian's saliva flowed down, and he hadn't eaten fish for so long.

Thinking of winter fishing, Li Chengqian remembered, at this time, the water resources around Chang'an City are very rich, there are eight rivers around Chang'an, these rivers are water canals, the waterways are smooth, there are no reefs, and now there is a thick layer of ice It is a good time for winter fishing.

The tools needed for winter fishing are also very simple, that is, a large net, a long rope and a long pole, and the winch for pulling the rope can not be found and can be replaced by a wheel.

Thinking that sometimes a net can pull hundreds of tons of fish, Li Chengqian's worries are gone, and he is busy calling for a stop.

"Xu Jingzong, you immediately go to find fishing nets, long ropes and long bamboo poles, and send them to outside the city, the more the better!" Li Chengqian commanded with some excitement.

Xu Jingzong was stunned when he heard this, but he was cleaned up by Li Chengqian, and although he had many eyes, he never dared to disobey Li Chengqian's orders.

"Obey." Xu Jingzong hurriedly led people to beat horses and ran back.

Li Chengqian thought of a way to feel a lot more relaxed, all the way to the Qixia Gate, and saw that a long shack had been erected against the root of the city wall, and the most important thing was that there was smoke rising from the shack on this side of the city gate.

Li Chengqian's carriage came to the outside of the shack with smoke, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Hao Chujun directing the cooking, and saw Li Chengqian coming up to greet him.

"Where did you find the food?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, it was bought by the minister himself with the money from the last raid, and he asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him." Hao Chujun bowed and replied.

"Bought?" Li Chengqian didn't care about his own opinions.

"I bought it."

"There is still food in the Chang'an grain store?" Li Chengqian immediately rejoiced.

"It's not much, the minister personally went to the grain stores in Chang'an City to see, there is not much grain in stock, and he still has to supply Chang'an City to sell grain normally, so the minister made up a few to make up such a little food.

Moreover, after returning, the minister also sent people to check the records of grain entering and leaving the gates of Chang'an City in recent days, and it was true that there was no grain transported into Chang'an City for nearly a month. Hao Chujun said with a solemn expression.

Li Chengqian originally saw that the time-traveler used modern business wisdom to fight a price war with the ancients when he read the time-traveling novel, Li Chengqian now wants to find a grain merchant who hoards and hoards, if there is Li Chengqian, he will definitely not bother to fight a business war with him, either buy it at a low price, or send troops to rob it, as long as the grain is used in the right place, he is definitely the holy lord Mingjun who suppresses profiteers.

It's a pity that no big grain merchant has jumped out yet.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, you let everyone eat this meal first, the lonely king has already thought of a way to find something to eat, and we will set off together after everyone finishes eating." ”

"Yes!" Hao Chujun was refreshed when he heard this, and hurriedly went back to prepare to arrange dinner for the victims.

Li Chengqian saw that this place was also resettled according to his method of resettlement of the victims in the city, and everything was in order, so he turned around and sat in the carriage to find the snacks that the old ghost had brought him, and kept some for himself to eat, and took out the rest and distributed it to Xue Rengui and others.

Li Chengqian saw that the 1,000 guards with him had not eaten for a day, and they might not be able to return to the city all night tonight, so he ordered Wang Fangyi to go back to the East Palace and bring another 2,000 guards to replace them and go back to eat and rest.

Before Li Chengqian and the others had something to eat, Xu Jingzong came with more than ten cars, which were full of things like fishing nets and long ropes.

As soon as Li Chengqian saw people coming, he said to Hao Chujun: "Pick out the old, weak, sick and disabled, and divide half of the rest of the strong men to go fishing with the lonely king." ”

"Fishing?" Hao Chujun thought he had misheard.

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously and said, "Go and arrange it, and you'll know when the time comes." ”

When Wang Fangyi led the guards of the East Palace to change shifts, Hao Chujun's side was also arranged, and Li Chengqian took the carriage and led people straight to Bashui in the northeast of Chang'an City, which is close to the confluence of Weishui and Jingshui, and the wide river channel should be suitable for winter fishing.

When Li Chengqian led the people to the bank of the Bashui River, half a bright moon had already risen in the sky, and Li Cheng knew that it was not too early to catch fish as soon as possible.

At this time, the weather was cold, Li Chengqian was still cold in a thick fox coat, looking at those victims in rags, some even barefoot, I really don't know how they survived.

But there is no way to do it, even if Li Chengqian moves out the things in the East Palace and even the Taiji Palace, it can't make the people in Chang'an City warm.

The only thing he can do now is to find a way to make the policy favorable to more people.

While asking people to find firewood to make a fire, he led people to the ice in the river.

Li Chengqian only knows a little about the winter capture, and he can only command a rough idea, and the results depend on luck.

He first had the ice cut in two places about 500 paces away, then lowered the fishing net and the long rope, and with the help of a long bamboo pole, the long rope was sent to another chiseled place little by little.

The last thing is to put the two cars pulling the nets on their sides, use the wheels instead of the winch, and pull the winch around.

Li Chengqian saw that he had almost done it, and thought of waiting for the net to be closed at the other end, except for those who had to stay, let everyone else go to the fire to keep warm.

As soon as Li Chengqian stood up, the old ghost persuaded Li Chengqian three times in a row to invite Li Chengqian to go ashore, but Li Chengqian didn't want to brush his mind and went to the fire to keep warm, and talked to the guards and victims around him by the fire.

Those victims had a very good impression of Li Chengqian, so they answered truthfully whatever Li Chengqian asked, and they were very excited when they answered, and they were even very grateful to Li Chengqian for coming to ask him about his life, and some of them felt that Li Chengqian asked these few words, even if they starved to death in the end, it was worth it, and no one complained to the court from front to back, only saying that it was bad luck and encountered a natural disaster......

Li Chengqian's heart was moved when he heard this.

"The net is closed! The net is closed! Wang Fangyi shouted excitedly from the river.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly walked to the river, and only halfway through the run, he heard someone say in frustration: "Why is the net light?"

"Hurry up, it's definitely a rotten net!"

……

Li Chengqian saw that everyone was busy, and he stood from a distance and watched for fear that he would get in the way.

In the midst of the chaos, the first net of fish was finally pulled up, and the guards of the East Palace and the victims jumped up excitedly when they saw the white fish jumping in the net, and smashed many cracks in the ice.

Everyone on the river was so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound or move, and after a while, they didn't dare to move a little when they found that the ice had not sunk.

In the end, the net fish were all pulled up in anticipation, according to the visual measurement of some people, there should be thousands of catties, although the net broke a big hole, should run away a lot of fish, but everyone is very satisfied with this result.

Li Chengqian was also very satisfied, and said to Hao Chujun, who had been following him: "Divide the fishing nets and arrange people to go fishing on different ice surfaces!" ”

"Yes." Hao Chujun said with some excitement.

Li Chengqian helped the old ghost and was about to go to the carriage to rest, when he suddenly heard a voice from the river and sighed: "Why are there so many carp?"

"These carps are going to be released, huh?"

……

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, when did he still abide by these broken rules, but if he wanted to break these rules, he had to show some courage to be convincing, otherwise others would not dare to eat carp, so what is the point of fishing.

The Tang Dynasty was not allowed to eat carp, and Chang'an was the imperial capital that was naturally strictly enforced, so there were many carp in the waters around Chang'an.

If you want to solve the famine with winter fishing, you must eat carp, or you won't even need to use nets.

"The carp was brought to make for the Lone King?" Li Chengqian thought about these things clearly and said loudly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this carp?" Wang Fangyi is a royal prince, so he naturally maintains the royal family, and it is very difficult to hold a big carp at this time.

Standing on the bank of the river and looking at the people on the ice, the people said loudly: "You listen to the lonely king say a few words, tens of thousands of disaster victims are about to starve to death without food, the lonely king can't wait to cut his own flesh for you to eat, but the lonely king's meat can't support so many people, since this carp is so many and come to the net again, it is naturally given to us by God, why can't we eat it?"

The sound of the night spread far away, and Li Chengqian's words were heard clearly not only by the people on the ice, but also by the people at the fire.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince......" Someone couldn't stop crying.

……

"Okay, the lonely king will make a carp to eat first......"

Wang Fangyi handed Li Chengqian a big carp with red eyes, and with the help of the old ghost, Li Chengqian removed the internal organs of the fish, cleaned the slices, and put the harpoon on a branch and roasted it on the fire.

Li Chengqian didn't bring any seasoning when he came out, just roasted him, ate a few pieces of burnt fish skin, and distributed the rest to the people around him.

After everything was arranged, Hao Chujun and others came to invite Li Chengqian to go back to the palace to rest, Li Chengqian saw that the moon had sunk, and now he returned to the palace, and the palace gate was tossed and the sky was bright.

I wanted to rest in the carriage for a while.

But in the end, the people in the East Palace didn't follow, and in the end, the old ghost found a family nearby, and now cleaned up the main house for Li Chengqian to borrow.
