Chapter 21

Most of the ministers in the court were silent. Among them, there were either ten thousand families or ten thousand hectares of fertile land at home, but absolutely no one treated his tenant farmers like muriat's father and son.

It is reasonable to say that Molian and his son can live well without asking their tenants. Even if their hearts are a little bad, they can squeeze the tenants desperately. How can they fall to the point of selling fish.

"Mo lie is really a righteous man!" Wei Zheng was so arrogant that he could not help nodding and praising.

"So Merton led the Mohist village to sell fish in Chang'an. It's really reasonable."

"Yes"

……

The ministers in the court and the central government talked about it one after another. Thousands of families in the whole Mojia village can't eat and don't let others sell fish to survive.

"I'm ashamed of Mo Aiqing!" said Li Shimin in shame. "Come and give a reward of twelve Liang and a thousand loads of grain to Mojia village immediately."

Wang Yushi's heart is blocked for a while, your majesty! Didn't you hear what I just said? He's still using swords in Chang'an city. It's a crime of heavy rain.

Qin Qiong shook her head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's not necessary, because Mojia village will not be poor anymore."

Li Shimin was very puzzled. Just now he was talking about how bitter Mojia village was. Now he even postponed the reward! The heart moved and said, "is it a secret skill of living fish!"

"Yes, it's the secret skill of living fish!" Qin Qiong nodded: "Inspired by the catfish effect in Mozi's close book, Mojia village discovered the secret skill of living fish that can keep fish away from the pond for a long time. Now the money is rolling. Five thousand people in Mojia village can also solve the problem of food and clothing. However, at this time, the secret skill of living fish was coveted by some people. First, the city gate guard forcibly searched the fish transport vehicles, and then the fish Gang kidnapped the people of Mojia village Torture in an attempt to snatch the secret skills of live fish. Only then did Mojia village resort to force in Chang'an City in order to rescue the villagers.

Qin Qiong's eyes flashed a cold light and stared at the imperial historian. It was obvious that he was really angry! He didn't expect that a small imperial historian dared to rob the founding County of the Empire.

The central court minister also couldn't help but suddenly, no wonder the Royal historian was so positive. It turned out that he took a fancy to the live fish secret skills of Mojia village. If the robbery failed, he even sued the imperial court.

There are not a few courtiers present. They usually pay most attention not to their own official positions, but to their own titles, which is the guarantee that they can pass on to the next generation and keep the family rich, and the practice of the Royal historian touched the interests of everyone.

"Wei Chen has a book to play. The fish gang in the fish market of Chang'an City ran rampant in the village, bullied the fishermen, intended to rob the secret skills of Mohist live fish, and plotted to kidnap the villagers of Mohist village. Last night, Mohist village assisted Wannian county government to capture more than 50 people of the fish gang and rescue Yu Er, the villager of Mohist village." Chang'an County Magistrate immediately mended his knife. Since Yi Guogong presented his token last night and argued with Mojia village today, it is obvious that it has a far-reaching relationship. At this time, if you don't hurry to stand in line, when will you wait.

"Those who hide evil and accept evil should be so bold. Your majesty, I beg you to severely punish these villains." Wei Zhengyi said in earnest. He didn't speak for the sake of Mohist village, but simply envied evil as hatred.

"Yes!"

Li Shimin's voice was calm and could not hear the waves.

"Oh! Didn't wang Yushi open a Wang Yushi shop? The fish Gang wanted the secret skills of live fish. You came to sue Yu today. You didn't like the secret skills of live fish!" a sudden voice remembered that Cheng Yaojin's big black face came up to Wang Yushi at some time.

"This old thing!" the ministers were shocked for a while. Everyone present didn't know that the Wangs fish shop was the property of the Taiyuan Wangs, but they were all Confucian scholars, so there was no need to stand out for the children of the Mohists.

Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to see Wang Yushi's eyes. He still spit and said, "but the dead fish in your house is really not delicious. According to me, it's best to eat fresh fish. In the past, I often caught fish in the pond. After catching fish, I killed it directly. That's fresh. Recently, the live fish secret skill of the Mohist school is much more convenient. I don't have to run outside the city anymore!"

The more Cheng Yaojin said, the more wrong the court minister looked at the king's censor. The king's censor was anxious to cry.

"I'm wronged!" Wang Yushi trembled with anger. He didn't expect that a broken aristocrat would let Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin speak for them.

"There is another reason why Wei Chen said that he played in Mojia village. It is rumored that the secret technique of live fish used in Mojia village is to improve the catfish effect and replace catfish with carp." Wang Yushi did not dare to attack Merton directly and changed to Mojia village.

"Carp!" the courtier involuntarily looked at Li Shimin at the top.

We all know what's going on with carp, but it's homonymous with Li.

"Joke, how do you know that the secret skills of Mohist live fish are so secret?" Qin Qiong sneered.

"I've heard about Wei Chen too!" said the Royal censor. Anyway, his duty is to hear about the performance. No one cares about him.

"Oh, I also heard that Wang's fish shop often catches and kills carp." Qin Qiong fought against the army.

You should know that carp have strong fecundity. Every pond is almost broken. Which one doesn't kill by mistake when fishing all year round.

"You!" the prince never thought that the war would burn himself.

"Although carp are expensive as national fish, they are widely spread in the north and south of the river. Although fishermen don't kill them every time they start fishing, one will die after the pond, and what's more, it will float all over the pond." the words of big Si Nong Su Lingnong almost made Wang Yushi cry. Are you arguing for me? Or kill me.

"Seriously!" Li Shimin said.

"Tell your majesty, it's true. Since your majesty ordered to ban the folk hunting of carp, the number of carp has increased day by day, resulting in the reduction of living space for other fish, the decline of fishery production year by year, and the rising price of fish." if Merton was here, he would be greatly impressed. He didn't expect that someone would have such foresight in the Tang Dynasty, thinking about the massive reproduction of carp, Obviously, it destroyed the fish ecosystem and caused a large number of carp flooding, so that there was a biological crisis of too many carp in a country in the future.

Big Si Nong then said, "the massive reproduction of carp will bring inconvenience to fishermen's fishing. Some of them will even occupy the whole pond, causing heavy losses to fishermen. They are afraid of imperial law and can only abandon the fish pond. What's more, some fishermen killed carp by mistake in the process of fishing, but some county magistrates took it as a reason to go to jail and break their families."

Big Si Nong's words made the whole court quiet. Everyone, including Li Shimin, didn't expect such a big side effect of protecting carp.

Big Si Nong breathed a sigh of relief after he said what he held in his heart. He has been paying attention to this problem for a long time. Unfortunately, he has little talk and has no real power. He said it was useless. Today, he happened to draw people's attention with the help of the Mojia village incident.
