    Seeing His Majesty read the memorial, everyone was very anxious.

    But at this time His Majesty actually asked about fishing.

    And it¡¯s still fishing.

    Thisis not professional.

    ??Everyone, look at me and I¡¯ll look at you.

    After thinking about it, Xie Qian had to answer. Xie Qian said: "The imperial court has banned fishermen from going into the sea. However, if you think about it, there will be some fishermen who are bold enough to violate the ban, but these are decapitation activities.  Naturally, it is no longer found in classics and history.¡±

    He first explained the difficulty of this problem.

    Then he added: "However, judging from the records of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, fishing is very difficult for fishermen. Even if they have big boats, they often cannot make ends meet even if they leave the coast and set nets dozens of miles away. This is because fishing in the sea is inherently difficult.  It¡¯s not easy, and the cost is not low. What¡¯s more, because of the strong wind and waves, the risk is not small. Furthermore, sea fish are even more cunning. Your Majesty, in the Yuan Dynasty, I heard that the price of a pound of sea fish was three times that of river fish.  More than five times, we can see from this that although people love to eat sea fish, at the same time, it is not easy to catch these sea fish."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Others nodded one after another. Although many people did not understand, this did not prevent them from pretending to understand better.

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Have you ever seen in the classics and history that a ship went out to sea to salvage and returned back in three days, catching hundreds of thousands of catties of fish?"

    ""

    Everyone was silent.

    What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of kilograms?

    This is an astronomical figure.

    What¡¯s more, it¡¯s still a sea fish.

    Xie Qian shook his head: "I thought this is a fantasy. There is a book written by people in the Yuan Dynasty that said: There is a big ship going to sea with only a hundred people and five masts. If you go to sea for ten days, you may not catch anything. You may catch ten thousand catties of fish  ¡­¡±

    He thought for a while and continued: "It can be seen that if the fishermen of the Yuan Dynasty went out to sea for ten days and caught nothing, it is not necessarily impossible. If they are not lucky, the fish they salvaged will weigh up to 10,000 kilograms. This is the hard work of more than a hundred people.  As a result, if there are ten thousand catties, it will be profitable. After all, one person can get a hundred catties of fish, and it is a sea fish. This sea fish is very expensive and was highly praised by people at that time. The value of a hundred catties of sea fish can be exchanged for one head.  A calf, a horse, or two dolphins. If you are lucky enough to get tens of thousands of catties of fish, one person can get several calves in ten days. Because of this, although there are many dangers in the sea,  There are also some people who take desperate risks and go to the sea to try their luck."

    Xie Qian thought for a while and then said: "As for hundreds of thousands of catties, this is too terrible. In three days, each person can catch at least one thousand catties of fish. These three thousand catties of meat, even if it is not expensive sea fish, your Majesty thinks  Think about it, isn¡¯t it true that in one month, one person can catch 10,000 catties of fish. This is meat. For an ordinary farmer, a family of several people with ten acres of land in Jiangnan can only produce thirty dan of grain.  It¡¯s only a few thousand catties. This fishing can produce tens of thousands of catties a year, but it¡¯s still delicious sea fish.¡±

    Xie Qian shook his head, looking like I would never believe it.

    "If this is the case, what kind of food do we still grow? During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, fishermen were also poor. If the fishery yield was so high, why was it so high?"

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s expression became even weirder, and he said: ¡°But the Japanese guard in the Zhenguo Mansion, that is, Tang Yin, can produce hundreds of thousands of catties of fish in three days.¡±

    "What?"

    Everyone looked at each other in shock.

    impossible!

    ? ?We are all sensible people.

    "Your Majestyis this a sign of auspiciousness?" Someone looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

    Although auspiciousness is a good word, in many contexts used by court ministers, it is a derogatory word. There is not much auspiciousness in the world, but some people go around reporting auspiciousness and praising the clearness of the Haiyan River in order to flatter others.  , which aroused the disgust of many people.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is not auspicious, this is played by the prefect Wen Yansheng!"

    ""

    "I want to take a look." Li Dongyang couldn't sit still and didn't even care about the rules.

    Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

    Xiao Jing understood.

    A moment later, the memorial fell into Li Dongyang¡¯s hands. Li Dongyang read it word for word. He seemed to be trying to find any mistakes in the memorial, or to guess Wen Yansheng¡¯s intentions.

    For a long time, his Adam's apple rolled, and he even wanted to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his big sleeve: "It's true! Wen Yansheng has repeatedly criticized the Zhenguo Mansion for preparing Japanese guards several times in the past. It is unlikely that he would suddenly edit Tang Yin.  Sing a hymn. Now there is a big disaster in Ningbo Prefecture. If people starve to death because of this, the most he can do is, let¡¯s just eat this?

    Will people in disaster areas get tired of eating fish?

    ??Definitely, it¡¯s the same as eating mashed potatoes.

    "This" Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had treated his ministers a little badly.

    But after thinking about it, if it would be too wasteful to re-burn the stove in the imperial kitchen, I might as well save it.

    Emperor Hongzhi swallowed a piece of mashed potatoes in one gulp and said with a smile: "This mashed potatoes is really delicious in the world. If you eat it carefully, it will be sweet and soothing to your throat."

    ""

    If Fang Jifan were here, he would definitely say that he is mentally retarded.

    Of course, Liu Jian and others did not dare to say it, nor did they dare to think about it in their hearts.

    But each of them forced a smile and echoed: "What your Majesty said is true. Potatoes are naturally sweet. They are really a rare food. I like to eat them very much."

    "Yes, yes, the mashed potatoes are really delicious, much better than the large yellow croaker." Ma Wensheng said casually.

    Soon, Ma Wensheng was greeted with many stern looks.

    Are you sick?  What big yellow croaker are you talking about at this time?

    "" Ma Wensheng also felt that he had made a mistake. His words against his will seemed to be a bit exaggerated. Heyit was a mistake. Can you blame me? Didn't you just go around and scold the Ministry of War all morning?  Why am I so confused today and why I make so many mistakes?

    Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Ma Wensheng and said, "If the Qing family likes it, then eat more. Come and bring a few more plates."

    Ma Wensheng kept smiling, and his smile was still so bright and moving.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
