Chapter 257 The World of the People



Just then, a one-foot-long fish leaped into the grass on the shore. The two little guys jumped up immediately. Before they could jump out, they were caught back by Li Zhi and Wang Zheng respectively.

Li Dan was caught by his father and behaved well, but his face was full of disappointment. However, Xiao Yuehua struggled hard, "Daddy, let me go. I want to catch fish. I want to catch fish."

Wang Zheng squatted down and picked up Xiao Yuehua with one hand, and asked, "What should we do after catching the fish?"

Watching the big fish tumble into the river, Xiao Yuehua looked unwilling and said, "Just catch it and eat it."

"Eat it now, or wait until it dies and then go back to eat it?"

Xiao Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I won't catch fish anymore. Daddy will hold me so I can see farther."

Li Zhi asked Wang Ying, "The golden tuna we just ate was so fresh and delicious. How did you keep the fish from April until now?"

Li Zhi looked at Wang Zheng and asked curiously, "Can sheepskin be used to make rafts?"

Suddenly, a foot-long beach fish leaped into the raft. Xiao Yuehua and Li Dan immediately became excited, "Fish, fish, fish, catch it, catch it."

Even in May in Northeast China, the weather is not that hot, but getting wet is unbearable.

Fortunately, we were delayed at the viewing point for a while, and rafting is more roundabout than land transportation, so the logistics personnel following behind us caught up, otherwise we would have no chance to take a shower or change clothes.

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, then said to Wang Ying, "Tie them all together. It only needs to be two feet wide, and there's no limit to the length."

Half an hour later, the sheepskin raft entered a gentle river section. Wang Zheng looked at the people who were soaked and looked a little tired, and suggested to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the experience is enough, leave it for next time. It is best to have a good thing before you have enough. If you enjoy it too much, you will not like it in the future."

Dozens of sheepskin rafts were connected together. Although it was safer to ride, Wang Zheng still had Xiao Yuehua, Wang Pingan and the Li Xian brothers tied to the middle of the raft with cloth before starting the journey.

"I think so too."

Sometimes Li Zhi would also help kick a few times, and everyone was in a very good mood along the way.

Having said that, I have to thank the Grand Steward. If it weren't for the Grand Steward's hard work over the past ten years, laying such a solid foundation for the country, I wouldn't be able to come out and travel around so much without any worries."

But this kind of excitement cannot last long after all, because human energy is limited.

Rafting is thrilling. The fast-flowing river carries the sheepskin raft downstream. It is always thrilling when encountering a ladder. First, Li Dan and Xiao Yuehua screamed loudly, and then several little ones started shouting, and even Li Zhi started laughing.

Li Zhi lay in the rocking chair with a tired look on his face, and said to Wang Zheng with great interest, "This is really an old man talking about the youthful passion, but it does feel good. Everyone in the world knows that this is my kingdom, but how is this kingdom? This is the first time I feel it.

By the time the eunuchs had boiled the water and everyone had bathed and changed their clothes, the sun had already set very far and they had no choice but to set up camp on the spot and prepare to spend the night.

Wang Ying smiled and explained, "The officials in the downstream fishing area dug a cellar and stored ice in it. It is no problem to preserve the fresh fish for a few months."

"It is about 120 miles on horseback and 200 miles by boat."

Frightened by Wang Zhengyi, the two little guys stopped struggling and followed their brother to the tent to change clothes.

Wang Zheng nodded and explained, "Of course, they are, but they are not as durable as bamboo boats. Only sheepskin rafts can transport a few things on this kind of stepped river."

Wang Ying thought about it and nodded, "It's me who didn't think it through. Brother Zhong and Your Majesty, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "The north does have this convenience. How far is this place from the fishing spot?"

But it was absolutely impossible for Li Zhi and the children to ride on such a sheepskin raft.

Li Dan quickly stretched out his foot and kicked hard. Before the little guys had finished a circle, the big fish could no longer jump. Then the big fish that flew in from time to time became their targets of attack. The little guys finally found some fun.

As soon as the boat docked, Li Dan and Xiao Yuehua immediately untied the cloth belts on their bodies and wanted to catch the pile of fish in the middle of the raft. Wang Zheng immediately picked up the two little guys and said, "Hurry up and go to the tent to change clothes. If you catch a cold, you will have to stay in the city for a few days. Don't even think about going anywhere."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Indeed, Yuzhou is also full of mountains and rivers. Even the fields are terraced, and the rivers are well-preserved. Do you want to go to the fishing area to take a look?"

Looking at the sheepskin raft that Wang Ying had people drag out, Wang Zheng couldn't help but frown. A sheepskin raft was only seven feet square, so it would be no problem for ordinary people to ride it. Even if they fell into the water, they could just get up.

Wang Zheng was speechless and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, how do you think we should go?"

Li Zhi looked at the river and asked, "Can we sail here?"

In fact, it is similar to rafting.

Xiao Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and did not continue to untie the cloth belt. Instead, she kicked the big fish hard, just in front of Li Dan. Xiao Yuehua shouted quickly: "Kick it to death, it's still jumping."

Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I think it would be nice to ride on a sheepskin raft. What do you think, Grand Steward?"

Since Luo Xiaomei didn't come over, Xiao Yuehua followed Wang Ying into the tent.

The big fish jumped in front of Xiao Yuehua. Xiao Yuehua couldn't struggle free from the cloth tied around her body, so she reached out to untie it. Wang Zheng immediately scolded her, "Don't untie it. Do you want to be thrown into the river when you pass the ladder next time?"

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Of course bamboo and wooden boats won't work, but sheepskin rafts from Yuzhou are OK, but they're a bit bumpy."

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "The world is said to belong to your Majesty alone, but how much resources can your Majesty occupy? In the final analysis, the world actually belongs to everyone. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, everyone should naturally think about the Tang Dynasty.

I am naturally no exception.

In fact, as long as every citizen does not violate the law, they will naturally contribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Even if a farmer does not pay agricultural taxes, he still needs salt and iron. As long as he buys the things after the tax is added, he is actually making a contribution to the Tang Dynasty.

I am just doing my best and I am not worthy of your praise."
