Although the soldiers who were desperately turning the winch were puzzled, the military orders were overwhelming and they stopped after hearing Han Du's words.
Luo Guo's face also changed greatly, and he quickly ran over to explain to Han Du, "Uncle, there are too many fish. The fishing net is too heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to drag it up."
I caught a fish, but there were too many and too heavy, so I couldn’t lift it. Isn’t this all the hard work in vain?
Things like this simply shock everyone's outlook.
Since ancient times, fishermen have only complained about not catching enough fish, but they have never encountered so many fish that the net cannot be lifted.
Han Du pointed at Luo Guo and asked sternly: "Have you ever fished before? What did you do when you encountered this situation?"
Luo Guo smiled bitterly and explained: "Uncle, in the past, young people used small boats and small nets to fish. The fish that could be caught were only a very small part of the edge of the fish school. Who would have thought that my uncle would actually drive a fish
A warship comes to fish, and a specially made net is so big and deep that it can penetrate deep into the school of fish at once and catch the fish?"
"As a kid, when I saw such a big fishing net, I was shocked."
"Okay, okay," Han Du waved his hands repeatedly to stop Luo Guo from continuing.
Since there is nothing the Luo Guo can do, what's the use of talking about it now?
However, Han Du suddenly thought that the weight of the object in the water was much lighter than the actual weight. He waved his hand and said, "Here, put the fishing net into the sea, slowly."
Although the soldiers were puzzled, they slowly let go according to Han Du's instructions.
As the fishing nets were lowered back into the sea bit by bit, the warship finally regained its balance.
Seeing this situation, Han Du finally felt relieved. He quickly ordered: "Send the order, turn around and fill the sail. Let's just drag the fish back."
The road here was twists and turns, but the road back was smooth sailing.
In less than an hour, the warship returned to the place of departure.
The sky was still bright, and the return of the warships naturally attracted the attention of the people.
Everyone knows that these boats went out to sea for fishing at noon. Now that they are back so soon, does it mean they didn't catch any fish?
According to word of mouth, fishing is a hard job. It is easy to say that you go out early and come back late. If you are unlucky, you may even work all day without catching a fish.
These three ships are so big, how many fish are needed to fill them? In the eyes of the people, it will take a few days for these ships to come back.
Zou Xing actually watched the people build the plank road here for a whole day. He also saw the warships coming back, and he didn't understand what was going on.
However, Zou Xing didn't think much about it. Since his uncle was back again, he had to rush to the shore to greet him.
Han Du sat in the boat and rowed to the shore. As soon as he stepped off the gangplank, Zou Xing came up to him.
"I have met my uncle before, but I don't know about him..."
Before Zou Xing could finish speaking, Han Du waved his hand to interrupt him and directly ordered: "Call everyone here."
When Zou Xing heard this, he felt embarrassed and explained: "But uncle, they are still building the plank road."
"The plank road can be repaired at any time. First let someone come over and pull the fish ashore." Han Du waved his hand and dismissed Zou Xing.
What does it mean to pull up a fish?
"Uncle, did you just catch a fish?" Zou Xing looked surprised. Like the people, he thought Han Du came back so early and thought he had gained nothing.
"Otherwise?" Han Du asked angrily.
"No, it's a good thing. It's a great thing that my uncle caught fish so quickly." Zou Xing explained hurriedly, and said quickly: "I'll go and call someone over now."
When Zou Xing went to stop what he was doing and asked them to help, the people were surprised. They were all thinking, how many fish did these boats catch? It took so many of them to come and help.
The fishing net was removed from the boat and a dozen thick ropes were tied to it.
"Hey yo, hey yo..."
With the sound of uniform chants and the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, a huge creature slowly emerged from the water.
Fish, fish, fish... The net is full of fish. As far as the eye can see, there are fish everywhere, countless fish squeezed into a lump.
But even though there are so many people pulling and the rope is getting straighter and straighter, the fishing net is landing slower and slower.
"Stop, stop, stop everything." Han Du saw something was wrong and shouted quickly.
If he continued to drag like this, Han Du was afraid that the fishing net would not be able to withstand the force. If the net broke, wouldn't the fish escape?
"Zou Xing."
"The official is here."
Han Du looked at the fishing net, pondered for a moment, and said: "Towing it hard like this won't work. Let someone open the fishing net and catch some of the fish first. Catch a little like this, and then pull a little up."
"Yes." Zou Xing also thought this was a good idea and hurried over to make arrangements.
Han Du then ordered Jiang Ming to go back and adjust the boat. All the fish must be shipped tomorrow. If it takes too long, they will rot.
Hundreds of people worked from afternoon to evening, and they managed to catch all the fish. They could only catch them, and they couldn't even do the most basic processing.
Seeing that the people were exhausted after a day of busy work, Han Du waved his hand and rewarded each person with ten kilograms of fish.
"My uncle has ordered that everyone be rewarded with ten pounds of fish."
...
Wherever the voice of the order came, the people immediately cheered. Although ten pounds of fish are not as valuable as ten pounds of meat, their value is not low. There is extra income from doing corvee work. Who can not be happy? Ten pounds of fish are given to the whole family.
Young and old, a dental ritual is enough.
Suddenly, the people moved the fish more smoothly. It didn't matter if they were tired. As long as they were given another ten pounds of fish, they would not know how tired they were.
"Uncle, what a generous act." Zou Xing didn't know what to say. In his opinion, there was no need to give the fish to the people. People had to bring their own dry food when doing corvee work, and the court would not give money or food to the people.
"Ten pounds is not much," Han Du waved his hand, "There are so many fish here, I don't even know how many have slipped through the net. Give them some, it's nothing."
"What your uncle said is true." Zou Xing smiled and nodded in agreement. On the surface he agreed, but in his heart he didn't think so. If it were Zou Xing himself, he would definitely not give it.
Because giving fish is a small matter, breaking the rules is a big deal. Today I gave ten catties of fish to the people, do you want to give it to them tomorrow? If you give it to people in the future, will you give it to people who are doing other corvee services or not?
If he gave them all, how would other county magistrates view him as a magistrate?
Of course, this is what the uncle insists on giving, so it has nothing to do with Zou Xing. If anyone is dissatisfied, then go to the uncle to confront him. Do they dare?
Just think about it and you know that no one will bother me because of this.
