The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 702
After such a toss, Li Muyun once again stood on the cusp of the storm, and the seemingly nonsense news of raising fish in rice fields was spread everywhere in Chang'an.

In this regard, Li Muyun's attitude is one: turn a deaf ear to it!

The magistrate of Tang County in Wannian County took a gamble and ordered his servants to open up a piece of official land of about ten mu. After some manipulations, rice seeds were planted. After half a month, the roots were deeply rooted. Decided to stock fry.

It is said to be fish fry, but it is actually some small fish caught from the Weihe River, mainly including grass carp, lotus carp, crucian carp, carp and so on.

These fish were kept in large tanks and placed on the ground. Dozens of government servants lined up majestically by the tank, waiting for orders without turning their eyes.

On the other side of the test field, Li Er and several important officials sat under the canopy of Huang Luo, chatting about the weather while watching the bustle, while Li Muyun squatted not far away, having a great time chatting with Su Wanqing and Chang Le , like not worrying that he will fail.

It was just a simple bet, and none of the bigwigs present cared about winning or losing. They came here just to watch the fun.

But Li Muyun's relaxed performance really made Li Er can't stand it anymore, he just dragged the two girls, Qingqing and me, why did Mao have to be in front of so many people, so where would he put his future father-in-law's face in this way!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so Li Er stopped chatting, stood up and walked to Li Muyun's side, and kicked him hard on the buttocks: "Stinky boy, get up!"

Li Muyun was almost kicked into the paddy field by this kick, turned around and saw that it was Li Er, immediately put on a smiling face and asked, "Uh, Brother Huang, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin spoke bluntly, and said straightforwardly: "It's okay, I'm just in a bad mood, and you don't like it!"

In an instant, Li Muyun's expression became tangled, and he blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Brother Huang, please don't joke with my younger brother, I didn't provoke you, so why don't you dislike me."

Li Er snorted, looked at the government servant who was preparing to release the fish fry not far away, and asked casually, "Are you so confident? What if you fail?"

Li Muyun shrugged gloomily, made a face at Chang Le and Su Wanqing who were snickering, and then changed into a look of concern for the country and the people and said: "Failure is the mother of success, how can there be success without failure, I personally Temporary fame in exchange for the extra income of the people in the future... worth it."

Li Er glanced at him in surprise: "You kid actually have such an idea?"

Li Muyun was a little unhappy to be seen, and kicked the stones under his feet and said: "Brother Huang, you are looking at people with colored glasses, and you are prejudiced against me. Although I am not very reliable in doing things sometimes, but It was not for the benefit of the people of our Tang Dynasty. After so many years, even if there is no credit, there is hard work, and there is fatigue without hard work. I..."

Seeing that Li Muyun wanted to talk endlessly, Li Er hurriedly waved his hands: "Okay, okay, you've accomplished something, I admit that I just said something wrong."

"Hey, the emperor's humility is like a valley, and the minister admires it." Li Muyun answered with a playful smile, and at the end he gave Chang Le and the others a proud look, in exchange for the girls covering their mouths and chuckling, and another kick on their buttocks.

After kicking, Li Shimin glared at Li Muyun threateningly: "You dare to moleste my daughter in front of me, do you think I'm serious, boy?"

"That..." Li Muyun was also a little embarrassed when he was caught, and he didn't think of a reasonable explanation for a long time, and the girls ran away laughing.

"Li Muyun, what kind of tricks are you playing? Didn't you say that you are going to go to Goguryeo to do business together? Why is there no news!" Cheng Yaojin appeared from nowhere, poking his big head over, his black face almost touching Li Muyun. s face.

"Yeah, the old man and others are waiting to get rich, you boy, don't give up halfway." Changsun Wuji also came over at this time, with a big belly, looking like he was seven or eight months pregnant.

Li Muyun, who was surrounded by veterans, looked at this and then at that, they were all frankly a group of people who were crazy about money, and didn't even think about whether money was really that easy to earn.

In the end, it was Li Er who smoothed things over for him: "Okay, okay, you guys just do business, don't make such a noise that the whole world knows about it, and there are still people watching over there."

"Hey..." Cheng Yaojin smiled coyly: "Your Majesty, my old Cheng's family is poor, and we are just waiting for the rice from Goguryeo to cook. If this business cannot be done again, I am afraid that people will starve to death."

Pooh!Old scum!Li Muyun cursed inwardly, and then explained: "My lords, don't be in a hurry, I believe there will be news back after a while, and we will do it right away."

"It's done, you kid just don't lie to us." Cheng Yaojin yelled, shaking his head back and forth, making one want to strangle him to death.

Just when Li Muyun was about to say something more, he heard the eunuch Lao Long remind Li Erdao: "Your Majesty, the fish are starting to be released over there."

Release the fish? !The people who came to the field with the mood of watching the excitement couldn't care less about discussing the Goguryeo matter, and all looked at the other side of the big vat.

I saw a group of yamen servants over there pushing and moving, and quickly moved those big water tanks down, and the water and fish in them rushed out immediately, and the rice field was filled with crackling sounds, countless water tanks of different sizes There are different types of fish writhing and jumping in the ground.

Regardless of the life and death of these fish, if we only talk about the scene, it can definitely be called spectacular.

But Li Muyun frowned a little. Damn it, there were too many fish. According to this feeding standard, half of them would starve to death in a few days.

But Li Shimin and the others just stood by the edge of the rice field and watched, each staring at their target.

Although they believed that Li Muyun would not create something out of nothing, it was indeed the first time in the Tang Dynasty to raise fish in rice fields, and it could be said to be a historical precedent.

A quarter of an hour passed, and half an hour passed.

All the fish that fell to the ground in the rice fields are still fine, and none of them died suddenly, but because the water level is too shallow, those fish are very tired from swimming, and they will run aground from time to time, and they can only get out of trouble by struggling hard.

But no matter what, at least for half an hour, those fish did not die, but all of them lived well.

County Magistrate Tang's face was flushed, and he looked at the fish in the field in disbelief, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.

Originally, Old Tang didn't believe that fish could be raised in rice fields, but now it seems that those fish are not dead, and they are still alive and well, which is enough to show that Li Muyun's method is feasible.
