"From a small fishing village?"

A man with a meaty face walked around surrounded by a group of more than a dozen mermaid heads.

He glanced at Qin Zhen and Li Han with an unkind expression, and finally moved his gaze to the whole body of Liu, who was the leader.

"The old rule, go to the sea for a hundred wen."

"What goes to the sea for a hundred wen?" Qin Zhen was stunned.

"It's that the people in our village want to go to the sea to catch fish, no matter whether they can catch it or not, they have to pay 100 yuan first, which is considered a protection fee." Liu Quan explained while handing over a money bag: "This person's name is Brother Scar, he is the head snake in this area, and he has a wide door!" If we don't pay this money, we won't even be able to touch the sea. ”

"This sea doesn't belong to his family, why do you collect money?" Li Han immediately shouted.

"New here, huh?" Brother Scar didn't speak, it was his pockmarked face brother who spoke: "You don't go out to inquire, who is our Brother Scar!" Jiangnan Province, who doesn't know the name of Brother Scar? Even if it is a bandit in the mountains, an official in the county government, when he sees our eldest brother, he has to be called Brother Scar! ”

"If you pay the money, Brother Scar will protect you like a father protects his son! If you don't pay the money, Brother Scar will beat you up like your father! ”

"Are you my father or not?" Li Han grimaced.

"Yes!" The pock-faced little brother grinned and said, "You're so smart! ”

After receiving the money, Brother Scar pointed to a random location and spoke.

"It's not allowed to cross the line in the area over there, understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Liu Quan and the others nodded like pounding garlic, obviously not surprised.

Qin Zhen held his breath in his heart.

He felt guilty.

"Liu Quan, seeing that you look like a human and a dog, why don't you dare to fight with him?" Li Han was full of resentment: "There are so many of us, can we still be bullied by a hooligan ruffian?" If you don't dare, I'll do it, and you can kick the black feet in the back! ”

"Hanzi! You're so naïve! Liu Quan couldn't wait to block Li Han's mouth.

"You didn't think anyone was making trouble? There was a group of villagers before, relying on their own hundreds of people, and there were many people who wanted to break their wrists with Brother Scar, what was the result? The next day, he was slaughtered by bandits! The head is stuck in a stake, densely packed like wheat! ”

Speaking of this, the villagers who often come to fish all look frightened.

Apparently they knew about it, too.

"It's just a way to make a living, why lose your life? Pay some money, pay some money! Or maybe you're all children! Youthful and vigorous! ”

"The government doesn't care?" Qin Zhen regretted it as soon as he said this.

If there is no benefit, will the government take care of it?

Liu Quan whispered in a deep voice: "You don't know, this brother Scar's sister, it is said that the concubine of a bandit leader in Mao'er Mountain is hard in the background!" Those hob meat officials can't avoid it, who dares to care? ”

Looking at the fish-headed boy who was blessed and powerful, and the poor people who were wantonly oppressed, Qin Zhen only felt that a fire was burning in his heart.

He suddenly felt that a few dozen taels of silver in his hand were not a fart.

In this world, there is no strength, there is no silver, just pigs and sheep to be slaughtered!

Just like now, if you work hard to earn some money, someone else puts a knife on your head, and you have to take out the silver!

"It's out to sea!"

Liu Quan's low shout interrupted Qin Zhen's contemplation.

I saw that the dozen or so villagers who came with him picked up ropes and tied them to themselves, the rope was very long, and the end was fixed on the wooden stake that he carried all the way.

Push the stake king into the water, leave a few people on the shore to pull the rope and prevent the stake from running away, and the rest of the people, under the leadership of Liu Quan, took off their clothes and jumped into the sea.

This is the world's most rudimentary, primitive way of fishing.

Dive into the sea and catch fish with your bare hands.

The waves roll and the wind howls!

Humanity is like dust, swallowed up by the waves!

Qin Zhen really felt that this way was very stupid, but at the same time, he had to be in awe of these tide makers in his heart!

Ironically, they don't even pay attention to God, but they are forced to grovel to a hooligan like Brother Scar!

The world of bullshit!

"This young man, this big wave is smashing! I don't want to give any amount of money! Hey! Zhen'er, let's drill the forest honestly, even if I starve to death in the future, I will never go down to the sea to catch fish even if I jump down from the mountain! Li Han swore an oath.

Qin Zhen didn't speak, but just lost his mind at the turbulent and treacherous sea.

"If only there were fishing nets......"

"What fishing nets?" Li Han said curiously.

"It's the kind of giant net strung with rope, and you can catch a lot of fish when you cast it!" Qin Zhen gestured.

"I seem to have heard Liu Quan say it, but this thing is precious, it is only used by rich people, and it is a consumable, and it has to be thrown away once it is used up." Li Han muttered: "The fish caught are not as expensive as the fishing nets, isn't this burying money?" ”

Qin Zhen only remembered that Dashang was a landlocked country and had never been involved in the sea; It was not until nearly a hundred years ago that the northern barbarians went southward in a big way, and the big merchants moved south several times before they were near the sea; It is precisely because of this that it attracted the attention of the pirates and attracted the enemies at sea.

The fishing nets that evolved were basically designed for the fish in the river, and they simply could not catch the ferocious marine fish.

Coupled with the lack of shipbuilding technology, the big merchants have almost no long-distance sailing ability, which also makes the big merchants have no conditions for deep-sea fishing.

Fishing with your hands seems stupid, but it is actually a last resort.

If only he could improve the fishing nets......

Qin Zhen suddenly became excited, he looked left and right, and jumped into the forest by the sea to look for it.

"Zhen'er, you're finally willing to dig into the forest." Li Han also looked very excited: "Let's go, let's fight wild boars!" ”

"Spank! Find me this grass. Qin Zhen picked up a string of green rhizomes and handed them to Li Han.

"What the hell?" Li Han looked strange: "Zhen'er, can we stop eating wild vegetables?" I'm throwing up! ”

"This is not a wild vegetable! It's a grass fern! It's tough, and the plant fibers inside can be used to weave fishing nets! ”

Li Han knew every word of Qin Zhen, but when it was connected, why couldn't he understand it?

If you don't understand, you can't understand, listen to Qin Zhen, yes!

Li Han was not entangled, and immediately lowered his head and rummaged through with Qin Zhen.

Soon, the two of them were back on the beach with a large patch of weeds.

At this time, Liu Quan and others had already come up from the water, and the results were not good, and they only caught three or four fish.

One by one, they sighed and sighed, and their faces were sad.

"Brother Liu, this won't work, we haven't even earned back the capital this time, or let's go to the sea again!"

Liu Quan also seemed very unwilling, but there was no way, it was going to be dark soon, and the danger of going to sea in the dark was doubled, and he really didn't want to take his brothers to take this risk.

At this moment, Qin Zhen and Li Han came running with a lot of weeds, and Qin Zhen didn't say a word, so he soaked the weeds in the king water and lowered his head to tinker.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Quan asked curiously.

"Weave a web!" Qin Zhen's words were shocking: "I'm going to use this thing to fish!" ”
