The giant whale dived immediately in pain, but spears kept flying at it. The thick hemp rope connected to the tail of the spear was stretched straight. The weight of a large ship made it impossible for the giant whale to dive into the deep sea, and it could only keep swimming forward.

Li Zhi stood at the bow and laughed loudly, Li Xian showed a look of reluctance on his face, while Li Xian and Li Dan, Xiao Yuehua and Wang Pingan looked excited.

Wang Zheng patted Li Xian on the shoulder and consoled him, "All things are created to feed people. The sea is vast, and a little hunting can actually make this sea area produce more. After all, we have already started fishing and hunting in this sea area. The space is limited, and too many top predators are not good."

Li Xian nodded and forced a smile, "I understand all these principles, but I just can't bear it. Sir, do you think that I am too weak?"

Wang Zheng laughed and said, "Haha, compassion is human nature. Confucius said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. In fact, he hoped that his disciples could maintain a compassionate heart."

"Is it about Qi Huan and Jin Wen?"

Li Xian nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, sir. From now on, I will extend my compassion to the common people."

"How dare you snatch food from my hands? You really don't know how to live or die."

Wang Zheng comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't be sentimental. It's just that everyone has different adaptability. If Your Majesty feels unwell, let's just walk around nearby and then return, okay?"

Li Dan clamored for meat, so Wang Zhen took out a straight knife and cut a large piece of meat from the whale's back and handed it to Li Dan. Li Dan took it and immediately laughed. Then Wang Zhen cut another piece of lean meat and said, "It's almost done. You can eat it right after cooking."

Li Xian looked at the oil-making process and said with a smile, "Actually, whale oil is the best stuff. The oil made from a giant Kun like this is enough to last the entire palace for a long time. It's a good deal."

Everyone was somewhat unsteady on their feet.

After coming ashore, there were naturally people who processed the whales and sharks, skinning, taking out the meat, removing the bones, extracting the teeth, and boiling the oil. There were very skilled craftsmen on the boat, and everyone watched with great interest.

Li Zhi looked at the others, most of them nodded to indicate that they did feel dizzy. Li Xian nodded and said, "I feel a little bit too, but it's not serious. Is Father feeling better now?"

More than an hour later, the ship docked. Based on the estimated distance, Wang Zheng felt that they should have reached the Dongsha Islands.

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "Since Your Majesty is so interested, I will accompany you. Don't worry, with the support of a large ship, we will be able to return to Baoan City."

Li Dan picked up a piece of skin and gave it to Li Zhi, saying with a smile: "Father, you should eat this kind of skin, it is soft and delicious."

"Haha, I feel relieved to hear what the steward said."

Li Zhi shook his head. "It's all right now. Alas, it seems that I am really old."

Wang Zheng actually wanted to tell Li Zhi that it was just because you were operating the Eight Ox Crossbow for too long today that you felt hungry and had an appetite.

"Your Majesty rarely has an appetite, so you can eat more."

Wang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness still doesn't understand. In fact, Mencius's meaning is more about explaining the rules. No matter what happens, there must be a principle. Blind kindness is not desirable."

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about the interpretation. Just read the original text a few more times and you will understand it, especially the last few paragraphs."

Skin and fat like pig's trotters, lean meat like beef, a bunch of people gathered around a big iron pot and started eating them in lumps, and soon they were sweating all over.

Then, the thirty large ships were anchored on the sea, occasionally catching sharks, until no more sharks came. Li Zhi nodded with complete satisfaction, pointed at the fish carcasses floating on the sea and asked Wang Zheng: "What are the results of my battle today?"

Wang Zhen explained: "This is seasickness. After drifting on the sea for a long time, you will feel a little uncomfortable when you first come ashore. Everyone has some seasickness. Just take a rest and you will be fine."

Li Xian frowned and said, "But the Confucian master's entire interpretation is full of kindness, right?"

"What's wrong with me?"

I really want to see how big the ocean is. Although I can't take too many risks, I can still give it a try. What do you think, Steward?"

Now in the imperial palace, whale oil candles are used indoors, while tallow candles are used outdoors. Of course, in places like the Yunting Bureau, tallow candles, tung oil, and vegetable oil lamps are used indoors, while kerosene lamps are used outdoors.

"Ha ha."

When getting ashore, Li Zhi almost fell down, and Wang Zheng, who was beside him, quickly held him up.

Li Zhi laughed proudly and said, "It is indeed a pleasure to hunt and kill the giant Kun alone. The sea is indeed a treasure land. The harvest from just a few hours is enough for the people of the whole county to eat for two days. Let's find a place to dock. After two or three days, I want to get down to earth for a while."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Disciple will take a good look at it."

"Haha, your majesty is mighty."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I've recovered now. Since it's just a temporary discomfort, it doesn't matter. Let's continue sailing as planned.

Wang Zhen took the sextant and looked at it, then nodded and said, "There are islands not far from this sea area. Your Majesty, please wait a moment, we will be able to reach the shore soon."

Li Zhi said happily: "Things that I catch myself seem to taste better. Just adding a little bit of fine salt makes it taste really good."

Li Zhi originally planned to keep heading south until he had more than half of his supplies and then turn back. However, Wang Zheng did not want Li Zhi to take such a risk. Although the South China Sea was relatively stable during this season, who could be sure of what was happening in the sea? Even if he had a sextant and would not get lost, natural disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis were equally terrifying.

After towing the ship for half an hour, the big whale stopped completely. Looking at the sharks cruising around the big whale, Li Zhi's choice was similar to that of Fangzhao and Zhanggou before.

"Haha, good, good, the prince knows how to be filial." Li Zhi said and looked at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was picking lean meat for Xiao Yuehua at this time. He understood what Li Zhi meant and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi was even more proud. After eating for a while, Li Zhi asked, "Shark fin is not bad, why not cook some shark fin in it?"

Wang Zhen pulled the corner of his mouth and explained: "That thing doesn't taste as delicious as the giant Kun. Well, the taste is a bit special. It has not been processed. It is best to use spices like stewed meat to make it more delicious. So, I won't cook it."

A strong smell of urine.
