Harvest is always a joy, and such a free and easy harvest will cause people to go wild.

Countless holes have been dug on the lake surface, which is more than ten acres in size, and hundreds of people have gathered around. The fish are now scared and dare not float up, so people use fishing nets and bait to catch them.

Use fish guts to catch carnivorous fish such as black carp, and use wheat to catch herbivorous fish such as grass carp. Fish that have been hungry for a long time are easy to catch, and people still have good harvests. The key is that there are many fish in the water.

Wang Xian kept walking among the crowd, reminding everyone not to catch carp, and even if they caught one by accident, they should release it immediately.

Wang Zheng was also wandering among the crowd, not to meddle in other people's business, but to see if anyone had caught any eels or loaches.

People of this era dislike eels and loaches more than fish because of their stronger fishy smell. Wang Zheng exchanged a handful of tung nuts for dozens of kilograms of them.

This kind of strong-flavored food would be so delicious if you just fried it in oil and stewed it with some tofu and sauerkraut.

"What do you like about me? Just tell me. If I can give it to you, I will give it to you. If I can't give it to you, it's useless no matter what you do."

Several yamen runners checked the people's catch. Although they did not find any carp, they did not let the people go. They searched on the ice again and found some small carp this time.

"Your family has just returned from the water bubble in the south, right?"

Wang Zheng, who was preparing to eat, heard someone shouting outside and walked out in confusion. When he saw that it was two yamen runners, he was even more confused.

"If you want to have fun, just follow my brother and go to the army for training. Can you bear that?"

Two yamen runners came to the outside of Wang Zheng's house and greeted him first. This was not a serious case, so they greeted him first to avoid any misunderstanding.

Seeing that he had stopped talking and looking at the catch, Wang Zheng saw that the catch was almost done, so he asked the two of them to go and call their families home. They had been out so early in the morning and had not yet had breakfast, so they were feeling hungry now.

"I just use it for daily practice." Wang Wu still wanted to try.

"In that case, we can go over and check and interrogate them, but don't think the matter will be resolved so easily. Write down which family you are from first, and we'll settle the accounts together after we go to the Wang family to check."

People don't care whether you lead everyone fishing out of kindness or not. Most people only remember grudges and not kindness. They only remember that they were fined because of you.

Two yamen runners rushed to Wang Zheng's house, and the remaining yamen runners began to count the heads.

Not long after Wang Zheng and his companions left, several yamen runners arrived here. The common people were naturally in awe of them, and when they saw the yamen runners arriving, many of them immediately wanted to slip away, but were stopped by the runners.

It is impossible for Wang Zheng to bear so much money by himself. Things are a bit troublesome. If everyone is asked to share the cost, Wang Zheng's family will definitely be cursed by the villagers.

Fifty strings of coins were enough to carry a horse-drawn carriage. Even if they were exchanged for silver, they could be exchanged for about one hundred taels. The official price of silver was one string of tongzi to one tael, but no one was willing to exchange it. In the market, generally five or six hundred coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver.

Yingniang's method of removing the fishy smell was more special than Wang Zheng's. She pointed at the loaches and eels in the box and said, "These are best eaten roasted. My uncle's cooking skills are very good. They are golden when roasted, without any burnt smell. They are very fragrant with a little salt."

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's try it when we get back to see whether Wang's cooking tastes better or the third brother's."

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Wang Wu glanced at Ying Niang with some embarrassment. Wang Zheng knocked him on the head and said, "It's none of their business. How can I not see your little tricks?"

Now Wang Wu was speechless. Suffering was a small matter. The key was the discipline. Wang Wu asked himself if he could bear it.

Wang Wu looked very proud, glancing at Wang Zheng with his eyes slanted, as if he was nothing special.

"It's too light and boring. Only kids play with wooden swords and spears."

They didn't dare to run away, and denying was useless. Finally, a smart person gave away Wang Zheng's family. After all, Wang Zheng and his family were the leaders. They came back with two carriages, so they should not be short of money.

"What's going on?"

"I want your big mule, and your straight knife."

"If I say no, then it's no. You can practice with a wooden sword or a wooden spear. Martial arts training only focuses on the basics. Everything else is empty talk. If you practice with a wooden sword or a wooden spear every day, I guarantee you'll get the same effect."

The Tang Dynasty valued martial arts, and Guanzhong was the main source of soldiers. As they were under the emperor's feet, at least their loyalty was guaranteed. People in Guanzhong were also happy to fight on the battlefield. Farmers from other places did not have such an opportunity to fight for a future.

Wang Wu looked unconvinced, "Let's compete, but since it's a competition, we have to add some spice."

Yingniang waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't say anything."

There were only two or three hundred households at the scene, and each household would have to pay at least a hundred coins. If there were more, they might even be fined a thousand coins, which was a huge sum of money.

"I can give you the big mule, but not the straight knife. You are still young and easily impulsive. If you get into an argument with someone, it doesn't matter if you use your hands and feet. Can I return the straight knife to you?"

"Just admit it. We cleared hundreds of carp from the scene. According to Tang law, we will be fined fifty strings of cash. Now we can't find who caught them. We ask everyone to share the responsibility. Someone pointed out that your family was the leader. Give us an explanation."

After collecting and counting the fish, a leading yamen runner stepped forward and said, "There are a total of 100 carps. According to Tang law, the fine for each carp is 500 coins. We can't find out who caught them, but they were definitely caught. You guys should share the cost."

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the two little guys. Ying Niang avoided Wang Zheng's gaze. Wang Wu was thick-skinned, or he thought that Wang Zheng could not see through his little tricks.

After Wang Xian came out and asked about the whole story, he whispered to Wang Zheng, "Why don't we claim a small half of it? That way we can show our respect to the villagers."

"No." Wang Zheng immediately rejected Wang Xian's proposal.

"Either you take all the blame and spend money to buy a good reputation, or you share the responsibility equally and make it clear that it is none of our business. If you take on the responsibility of no more, no less, not only will others not be grateful, they will definitely think it is our family's fault. This is not good."

Wang Xian was now in a dilemma. Fifty strings of cash was really too much, and he did not have that much cash in hand. If he really asked everyone to share the cost, it would be hard to justify it in front of the villagers.

Seeing that they were hesitant, the two yamen runners urged them, "Have you discussed it? You must give us an explanation. If you think it is inconvenient to talk about it here, we can go back to the yamen and talk about it."
