Chapter 661 Animals are more loyal than humans!
After dinner, Jiang Lianzhu asked everyone to leave and they discussed the matter of the water monster together.
Liao Jiu has heard about it.
Liao Jiu analyzed, "No matter what, the fact that the people below are willing to report to the court is a good thing. It shows that they are also testing the new emperor's ability to handle affairs. This is also the first step in promoting the new emperor to the people's attention. If done well, it can win the support of the people of Da'an..."
If you don't do it well, then anything can happen.
Not to mention the capital, the current situation in the capital has basically been controlled. With the Zhou family, Liao Jiu, Jiang Lianzhu, and the King of War... the situation in the capital is now good.
But there are still territories, foreign kings, and major capital cities below. The emperor is far away, so it is not certain.
All forces are watching covetously.
Dabao asked, "Dad, Mom, who should we send to kill the water monster right now?"
Jiang Lianzhu said, "If it really is a water monster, sending ordinary people won't work. It would only be a waste of effort, increase casualties, and damage the reputation of the court. It's not suitable. We need special talents to go. People with good martial arts skills alone won't be able to use them in the water. So, I'll go!"
She has arsenals. If that doesn't work, just drop torpedoes and bombs into the water to get rid of her.
No matter what it is, clear out the people around it and then use high-tech weapons!
She just didn't believe it couldn't be done.
Liao Jiu was worried, "I'll go with you."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "No need. You stay in the capital. There are still many things to do. I can go alone."
There must be two regents, and neither of them can be absent from the capital.
She has a better chance of winning than Liao Jiu. Her martial arts skills are not as good as Liao Jiu's, but she has an arsenal of weapons that Liao Jiu does not have.
Liao Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay. We can go on the golden eagle and bring it back quickly. It will only take a day or two at most to delay our work. Now everything in the capital is back on track. Dabao has done a great job. If it really takes time and we still can't get it done after two days, I will come back first. But if you don't let me go to check it out, I won't trust you to go alone."
Dabao also nodded, "Mom, just do as Dad says! I can still stay calm while you're away from the capital for two days."
Now he can review memorials, handle matters individually, attend morning court and discuss matters with his ministers, etc., all very smoothly.
"Alright, in that case, the better. Summon Chengfeng Jifeng and get ready. We'll be leaving soon!"
Erbao and Nanbao blinked their eyes.
"Mom, we want to go too!"
"Daliangzhou is even farther than our Shamen County. The wind can't carry so many people. Your father and I will be back in two days. You just stay in the palace and listen to your eldest brother. Erbao, if you want to move back to the Prince Xiang's Mansion, wait until we come back. Do you understand?"
The two kids had no choice but to nod obediently.
Jiang Lianzhu thought, it would be great if Chengfeng Jifeng could be upgraded a little more.
When they looked up, they saw the three silly wolves lying on the ground next to them, as if they were also listening to them carefully.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
"roar!"
He also shouted excitedly to Jiang Lianzhu several times, as if accusing her of something.
Jiang Lianzhu didn't understand and asked Erbao, "Xue Er, what were you talking about just now?"
Erbao said truthfully, "Xue Er said they also want to fight the water monster. They also want to help. They think they are very strong..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked Xue Er, "Do you think so?"
The three snow wolves nodded in unison, looking expectant.
It was so depressing in the capital, especially after entering the palace.
There is no place to run wild and have fun.
Now is a rare opportunity, and they are eager to go out.
Jiang Lianzhu said angrily, "You must have forgotten about the water snake from last time! If you still want to fight the water monster, the water monster will fight you!"
The three of them suddenly became listless.
Everyone watched and laughed.
Jiang Lianzhu was thinking in her heart that the mother bowl was eaten by Chengfeng Jifeng last time, and the three snow wolves didn’t get any taste at all. If there is a chance in the future, it would be better to give them a boost.
The three snow wolves are so tall and mighty. If they are promoted in the future, they will definitely be even more powerful!
The safety of the three children has also been greatly improved.
Sometimes, animals are more loyal than humans!
***
Daliangzhou is farther away than Chubei Prefecture, so Chengfeng Jifeng and the others had a good meal first. Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu took a quick rest for more than an hour to regain their energy before setting off.
We arrived at Dating Lake at dawn the next day.
This place is actually quite easy to find. After entering the territory of Daliangzhou, the golden eagle flew around a few times and saw a very large inland lake.
Before coming, Jiang Lianzhu did some research. Da Ting Lake is rich in a kind of whitebait. It is plump, has few bones, and has silvery and translucent flesh. It looks good, especially when steamed. It tastes best and costs more than ten times as much as ordinary fish.
However, if the silverfish leaves the water quality of Lake Dating, they will die within ten days or half a month.
Therefore, even if the imperial palace listed silverfish as one of the tribute items, people rarely ate live silverfish. Most of the time, they ate dried silverfish. After being dried, silverfish is definitely not as plump as live fish, but it is the best quality dried fish.
In addition to whitebait, there are other aquatic products in Lake Ota, and Ota crabs are one of them. There are many of them, they are large in size and have tender meat.
However, in Da'an Kingdom, crabs were only served on the tables of the low-class people. The rich and powerful people would not even bother to eat them because of their ugly shape and strong fishy smell. Ordinary people also did not like to eat them because they disliked the crabs because they had too little meat and too much shell and could not fill their stomachs.
Only those starving untouchables would often buy a large amount of it at a low price to barely fill their stomachs. Some would dry it, grind it into powder, and make porridge to eat to fill their stomachs.
There are a lot of aquatic plants and many shrimps in Datang Lake. Shrimp are slightly more popular than crabs. Shrimp can be used to make soup, and the shrimp meat can be used to make crystal meatballs.
In short, it is a large lake with very rich resources. There are many fishermen and people living nearby who rely on it for their livelihood and have made a living from Lake Oting for generations.
Dating Lake is of vital importance to the entire Daliangzhou.
"Liao Jiu, this Datang Lake is so huge! Look, it has no end in sight, like a huge piece of jade..."
Jiang Lianzhu and her companions were on top of the golden eagle, in mid-air, looking down. Dating Lake was endless, S-shaped, and winding. Its source was the Grand Canal, but the water was filtered by the land it passed through along the way. When it reached Dating Lake, the yellow water became clear, forming a special green lake.
The emerald green lake in the air, illuminated by the morning sun, looks like a large piece of jasper, which is very beautiful.
Liao Jiu also sighed, "It really is a great place, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery! No wonder such a good thing as whitebait is produced here."
