Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 502
The imperial decree for the formation of the Shibo Department came down, and Li You took Li Shimin's imperial edict and started busy. First, Xu Nian was selected as the chief officer of the Shibo Department, and then Li You found Luo Qizhi, Xia Yubing and Zhao The three of De Liang joined the Shibo Division.

Someone will definitely ask, why does Li You use these three people?
It's very simple, these three people are not people who belong to Li You exclusively, but they have a close relationship with Li You, but they can effectively implement Li You's ideas. This city bureau cannot find someone close to Li You.

If he could find someone close to Li You, Li You would choose Wen Yanbo and others.

It's a pity, no. Why not, because after all, Shibosi is still the government of the imperial court, and can only find people from the court. The three of Luo Qizhi are from the court, and these three people also have a certain relationship with Li You. After all, he is a student of his teacher, so he is relatively close, and can effectively implement Li You's plan for the Shibo Department.

In addition to Li You's establishment of the Shibo Department, during this period of time, Li You's biggest thing was the suppression of the water bandits on the Bian River. If you say that the whole people suppressed the bandits, it was really a remarkable achievement.

In less than ten days, all the water bandits around Bianshui have been wiped out, and a total of 320 heads have been received. There are about [-] water bandits hiding places, and nearly [-] water bandits have been captured. .

The youngest of them, the one who reported the water bandits' dens, was only less than ten years old. This little guy was called Erga. Erga had been a worry-free master since he was a child.

Because Erga's family lives by the river in Bianshui, Erga's favorite thing is to fish and catch shrimps in the water.

You have to know that ancient times and modern times are different. There were a lot of fish resources in ancient times, but in modern times, Bianshui was a big river, and the river was full of grass carp and carp. Big fish weighing even twenty catties are possible.

I also touched fish when I was a child, but later there were more bad guys. Due to the rising price of the scarce river fish, many criminals are still secretly using electric fishing machines to catch fish. No fish left.

There are also some people who use potion to catch fish in the upper reaches, and the potion flows all the way down, and the small fish and shrimps are all extinct.

There is a small pond in front of my house. My God, there is a man who is not a local, he should be from other places. He comes to beat three times a day with a battery on his back.

At this time, Datang has a fish cover, which is also very convenient to use. When you see a fish, you can directly cover the fish, trap the fish in the fish cover, and then catch the fish with your hands, so that the fish will not run away.

But use it when there is not much water in the pond.

In Bian water, you can't use a fish cover, and you have to step on the water to catch fish in Bian water. Besides fish, there are mussels and crabs. These things are Erga's specialty.

On this day, Erga was swimming in Bian water. This guy was like a water monkey. Mother get some big fish to make up for it.

My mother just gave birth to a little sister, and her body is very weak. If I can get some big fish to make up for my mother, my father will definitely praise Erga. It went into the water.

But I don't know what's going on. Erga, who went into the water early today, went to the small river beach and the mud and sand, but he didn't touch any big fish. They were all mussels, small fish and shrimps.

Erga doesn’t like these, he wants big fish, after all, mother wants to nourish his body, but if there are no big fish in the small river beach and muddy land, then he can only go to the reeds, but the reeds, my father said But, definitely don't go there.

Because daddy said that it was not safe there, as for why it was not safe, Erga didn't know, looking at the empty bamboo basket in his hand, Erga finally decided to go to the reed marsh to try his luck.

The reed marshes at this time are the least beautiful. In August and September, the reeds begin to bloom. The fluffy reed flowers look snow-white from a distance, but they have various colors when viewed close up, including milky white. ', there are reddish ones and light blue ones.When a breeze blows, the reed flowers, which are like fine cotton wool, sway in the sun, looking around, like white waves,

Erga used to like to play in the reed marshes, the fish here are big and fat, but once he mentioned that he went to the reed marshes, his father would never let Erga come here to play, if he really wanted to give his mother Get a big fish to eat, and Erga will not go to the reeds.

In fact, Erga's father didn't let Erga come to play in the reeds, it was for the good of Erga, because the reeds are dense and thick, and the height of the reeds is very high, there are nine twists and turns in the reeds, and many adults can't turn around. After coming out, Erga's father was afraid that Erga would be trapped in the reeds, so he didn't let Erga go to the reeds to catch fish.

It’s just that Erga was young and courageous, and in the end he didn’t heed his father’s warning and went to the reed marsh. To be honest, the harvest began as soon as he arrived in the reed marsh. The first was a big headfish about ten catties.

This kind of big head fish is docile, does not like to jump, and moves slowly.Live in the middle and upper layers of water bodies, have the habit of migratory rivers and lakes, and usually live in rivers and lakes with a certain flow rate.

In water bodies such as natural rivers and lakes, individuals weighing more than 10 kilograms are usually seen, and the largest can reach 50 kilograms.

The meat of this thing is very fat, but the earthy smell is relatively strong. However, as long as it is handled well, it is also a good appetizer for drinking.

"Hey.!" Erga was very happy when he came here. This is called success. However, Erga's ultimate goal is not a big-headed fish, he wants to touch a mullet.

Mullet is what we call snakehead. Blackfish has a ferocious temperament and lives at the bottom. It is a carnivorous fish and likes to live in shallow water with lush aquatic plants.

There are many in the reed marshes. This kind of black fish is delicious and nutritious. The most important thing is that it can also remove blood stasis and regenerate, nourish and recuperate, promote muscle and blood, and promote wound healing. It has high medicinal value.

my country has a long history of eating snakehead, which was listed as the top grade of insects and fish by "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" as early as 2000 years ago.

The purpose of Erga's coming to the reed marsh is to get a big mullet.

However, when Erga was fishing in the reeds, suddenly, a small boat slowly rowed in. Erga felt the fluctuation of the water pattern and knew that a boat was coming. He plunged into the water and hid in the water. Erga at the bottom of the water, after seeing the bottom of the bed, slowly stuck it up and hid under the side of the boat.

Originally Erga wanted to hear what these people did, but what he didn't expect was that Erga hid under the side of the boat and heard a shocking secret.

"What? That King Qi is a bastard. He wiped out Cao Xiong and his gang as soon as he came, and then started attacking us again. Now we no longer have the glory we used to have."

"Yeah, I really don't know where this king of Qi came from. That's right. Several families are already preparing to assassinate King Qi."

"Really, if King Qi can be killed, our good days will definitely come back."

"I just don't know if we will also send people. I heard that King Qi's guards are very powerful."

"You worry too much, what are the two of us, just two small characters who buy food, can we be sent?
Those who can go are those who are in charge. However, as long as we can kill that King Qi, we don't have to be trapped in this reed marsh. Do you know that I haven't seen Xiaohong for three days. People run away. "

"Haha. You still like that woman, don't worry. It will be fine soon."

These words were spread into Erga's ears word by word. Not long ago, the uncles in the village were all excitedly talking about one thing, that is, a good man, His Highness King Qi, came.

His Royal Highness King Qi helped the people of Bianzhou kill the water bandits and keep the people of Bianzhou safe.

All the uncles were full of praise for His Royal Highness Qi Wang, and the uncles also said that if they can kill a water bandit, they will be rewarded with ten pennies, and if they find a water bandit hiding place, they will be rewarded with ten pennies .

My God, ten pennies, how much chicken and duck can I buy for my mother to make up for my health? At that time, Erga also imagined that he could find a water bandit den, but that was just a fantasy. Big, about six hundred miles, how many hiding places are there in these six hundred miles, how to find, how to find?
Erga never dreamed that God would favor him so much that he would let him find a den of water bandits, so he hid silently under the side of the boat and followed the boat to the place where he stayed. After seeing this place clearly, Erga alone Mengzi dived to the bottom of the water.

When Erga dived out of the water to breathe, he had already come out of the reed marshes. Erga desperately ran ashore, and then rushed to his village. He had to report to the village official first, and then the village official also reported to the village official immediately. The Bianzhou navy, led by Mo Xiaohua, and led by Erga, went straight into the reed marsh, destroying the gang of water bandits.

Because the turtle was caught in the urn, the sailors did not even suffer casualties this time, and they also seized a large number of victories. In the end, Erga was personally received by Li You. Li You rewarded the youngest meritorious minister with a hundred guan He rewarded Erga with a watch, and told Erga that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time, and he hoped that Erga could be a loyal person for the country in the future.

Erga knelt down, kowtowed hard, and happily took the reward back.

And under the stimulation of Erga, the atmosphere of Bianzhou towards water bandits has reached a higher level again. If a little doll can get [-] guan, then why can't I, a large number of people began to look for water bandits day and night.

In a short period of time, the water bandits were almost forced to have nowhere to go. A large number of water bandits began to leave Bianzhou and went to other places, but there were also water bandits in other places. This is my territory. If you come, I will have no territory. .

Following the water bandits, the internal fighting began, and under such circumstances, the Shibo Division was formally established.
