The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 1498 Fishing on the Grand Canal!

"Yes!" everyone responded with loud shouts, full of determination.

Miyamoto's eyes flickered, with a hint of embarrassment.

Qin Yun suddenly looked at him: "Mr. Miyamoto, do you think there is any problem?"

"This... no." He forced a smile.

Qin Yun's eyes were deep, and he almost saw through what he was thinking. He must be controlled by Sakai.

On the one hand, Sakai had to satisfy himself so that he could get the red cannon smoothly. On the other hand, he couldn't hand over the core things, otherwise the bow would be put away after the bird was killed.

Moreover, Sakai could not allow the Great Xia Navy to become too powerful, as that would pose a threat to Japan.

He patrolled the area all day long that day.

He was very satisfied. Although the shipyard had not yet been able to build the steel behemoth he had imagined, it had actually made great progress. With the help of Miyamoto, maybe it could really succeed.

After a brief handover, Miyamoto joined the Naval Supervision Bureau and began to work overtime to understand the current situation. He discussed with the top craftsmen of Daxia how to build ships and overcome the difficulty of sinking as soon as they were launched.

Qin Yun doesn't want to take care of professional things, nor can he take care of them.

It's impossible for the emperor to do everything.

The next day.

Spring has arrived in the Central Plains and it is not that cold anymore. Especially after the ice has melted, there are many fish swimming downstream in the Grand Canal.

Qin Yun boarded an official ship and took Tong Wei, Tang Jian and others to cruise the river, sympathizing with the people and having fun at the same time.

On the deck, several fishing rods were cast out.

Tong Wei was impatient, and she would move the fishing rod from time to time, change its position, and constantly complain: "Huh, why haven't the damn fish taken the bait yet!"

The Jinyiwei standing by immediately said, "Madam, I can go and catch him."

“Catch it for nothing! I’m going to fish it out myself!” Tong Wei became excited and widened her beautiful eyes.

The Jinyiwei had no choice but to retreat.

Qin Yun couldn't bear it any longer and opened his eyes: "Fishing requires a calm mind. You are so impatient, and you still want to wait for the fish to take the bait?"

Tong Wei pouted her red lips and said cutely, "Isn't it that the Emperor brother can't calm down too?"

"If you are calm, why come to this dam in the middle of the Grand Canal?"

Qin Yun rolled his eyes at her and said, "Am I anxious?"

"The inspection only took half an hour, and then I came here to go fishing."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed!

I threw the fishing rod upwards with both hands. With a plop, a fat grass carp was dehydrated and was still flapping its wings!

"what!"

"It's caught, it's caught, brother Emperor, I want it!" Tong Wei excitedly threw away the fishing rod and came over, her face flushed and extremely excited.

She couldn't do such a thing in the palace. Fishing in a pond wasn't as much fun.

Qin Yun held her and together they dragged the grass carp onto the deck. The Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward to unhook it and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this grass carp weighs at least seven or eight pounds. It has flowed down the mud, and the meat is delicious."

"Hahaha." Qin Yun laughed. He hadn't experienced such a life for a long time.

"Keep it and have a fish feast tonight!"

Hearing this, Tong Wei frowned slightly: "The fish is so cute, but Your Majesty wants to eat it."

Qin Yun glared: "The sea bass I had a few days ago was fed to the dogs!"

Suddenly she remembered, her face flushed, and she said stubbornly: "I only ate a little!"

Qin Yun rolled his eyes at her. At this moment, Tang Jian at the side also caught a fish. It looked like a very rare fish, which could be sold for the price of ten ordinary fish in the capital.

"Tsk tsk, Tang Aiqing's fishing skills are also perfect."

"What kind of fish is this? It's only two or three pounds, but it looks very expensive."

Tang Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this fish is called Qing Diao. No matter how expensive it is, it is only two or three catties, which is only enough for two people. It is not better than the seven or eight catties of fish that Your Majesty ordered."

"You are too modest." Qin Yun said.

As he spoke, his fishing rod trembled a few more times.

He immediately looked strange. No way, what a coincidence, he took the bait again.

He pulled hard, but couldn't move it!

Tang Jian, officials from the Ministry of War and others looked over quickly, and the Jinyiwei were also going to come up to help.

"Don't move, I'll do it myself!" Qin Yun shouted, and put all his strength into catching the fish.

He let out the line, then reeled it in, back and forth, pausing, patiently waiting for the fish to struggle. Unlike a novice who wanted to pull the fish up in one go, he waited until the fish had used up all its strength.

This scene made Tang Jian and others look surprised.

Your Majesty, who is in the palace, actually knows how to fish?

After several tugs.

Qin Yun finally pulled the fish up!

It was one meter long, weighed at least twenty kilograms, and had a beautiful red color all over. However, it was not a carp, but a rather ugly-looking fish.

Like red grouper, but not.

"What kind of fish is this? It's so ugly." Tong Wei looked disgusted and thought that she would definitely not eat this at the evening fish banquet.

But Tang Jian and others looked over there very seriously.

They are people who often deal with water. They have been playing in the river since they were young and have some understanding of fish.

Tang Jian's eyes widened, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, it's the top scholar perch!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

“It’s really a top-ranked perch!”

"You can't find even one of these fish among a thousand. Your Majesty is amazing!"

“What a good sign!”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

On the deck, everyone was kneeling and there were constant voices of congratulations.

Qin Yun was stunned. What was going on?

Tong Wei couldn't help laughing: "You old guys, it's just a fish, is it worth it to compliment it so much?"

"Don't you know that the emperor hates flattery and superficial flattery?"

Tang Jian bowed and smiled bitterly, looking at the top-ranked perch jumping around on the deck with a very good complexion.

Said: "Your Highness, you don't know."

"Zhuangyuan Bass is a folk name for it. Look at the red patches on its back and belly. Doesn't it look like the red brocade that the top scorer in high school wore on his shoulders?"

"This fish is extremely rare and its value cannot be measured by price."

"According to documents from the previous dynasty, two top scholars were admitted because their family members caught this kind of fish."

"So it is said among the people that whoever gets this fish will have a top scholar in his family!"

"The top perch is also called that way."

Others also said: "Your Majesty, yes."

"This fish is a great blessing!"

"Could it be that our dynasty is about to welcome a literary star to descend to earth?!"

"..."

After hearing this, Qin Yun smiled, his golden cape fluttering: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, that's auspicious!"

Tong Wei quickly asked someone to take the fish away: "Take good care of it, don't eat it, otherwise the Emperor brother will lose his Wenquxing."

"Hahaha!" Qin Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw her nervous look.

In her life, she has been eccentric, quirky, and like a devil girl. She is only an obedient and well-behaved loli in front of me, right?

"Wenquxing, Daxia already has enough of them."

"I would rather have a number one scholar at sea to complete a piece of the navy puzzle for me!" Qin Yun said half-truthfully. He did not believe in such an illusory thing as a number one scholar, but just regarded it as a good omen.

But he really wants one, or many, naval "top scorers"!
