The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 74 Catch them all in one swoop
Tang Tianyu had been to Blue Star, and he wanted to know how Blue Star dealt with the piranhas.
Release the water? Once the water is released, what if the piranhas follow it out?
Poison? This water is the lifeblood of the entire Donghuang City. If poison is released, Donghuang City will be destroyed by itself without anyone having to intervene.
Salvage? How many days does this fish have? How to salvage it?
Moreover, salvage is also accompanied by risks. Once a person falls into the water, he or she is definitely dead.
"My son is incompetent."
Tang Tianyu also thought of many ways, but it seemed that no matter what he did, it was inappropriate.
He is good at fighting and killing, but when it comes to doing something that requires thinking, he is really not as good as Tang Tianling.
This thing is different from a locust plague. Although it can be eaten, how to catch it is a problem. Maybe the speed you eat it cannot keep up with the speed of their reproduction.
"Does this thing have any natural enemies?"
Tang Zhentian sighed when he heard this. He asked Tang Tianyu mainly because he considered that Tang Tianyu had been to Blue Star and that Blue Star must have a way. He never thought of letting Tang Tianyu come up with a solution himself.
What could he do? Could he just chop the lake apart with his sword?
"Yes, but it is difficult to completely eliminate it."
Tang Tianyu nodded when he heard this. When he first heard about piranhas, he deliberately checked whether this creature had any natural enemies, and in fact, it did.
There is an ancient fish species that lives in fresh water, called Arapaima. This fish is huge in size, feeds on small fish, and has thick scales on its body that can effectively resist the attacks of piranhas.
How big is it? Generally, an adult Arapaima can grow to more than two meters in length and weigh more than 100 kilograms.
Although this kind of fish can kill piranhas, it is difficult to find this kind of fish itself, and it is impossible to eliminate piranhas in a short time.
In addition to the arapaima, the electric eel is also a natural enemy of the piranha, but it is more dangerous than the piranha in the water.
Besides, even if you can find these fish, who can guarantee that they will obey your orders and kill the piranhas with all their strength? Isn't this pure nonsense?
"Well, let's discuss this matter with the ministers at the morning court tomorrow."
Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Zhentian nodded and sighed.
After witnessing the ferocity of the piranha, Tang Zhentian and Tang Tianyu left, leaving Tang Tianxing and the Donghuang City garrison to guard here. Until the piranha incident was resolved, they had to stay here, not leaving even a step, and not letting anyone get close.
The next morning, the news that there were piranhas in Yuyang Lake had spread throughout the entire East Imperial City, and the people inside and outside the imperial city were in a panic because of this incident.
And that morning, Tang Tianyu got up early for the first time and attended the morning court.
He came back late last night, and Tang Tianling did not come back all night, so Lin Buyao and others also rested in Prince Wu's Mansion for a night.
Originally, Wen Liuli couldn't get up so early as it was still dark. It was Tang Tianling who came back and made some noise in Liuli Garden and woke her up.
"What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
Pushing open the door, Wen Liuli stared at the tired, sleepy eyes, seeming a little displeased.
"Did you disturb Mrs. Wang's rest? I'm really sorry."
Tang Tianling was stunned when he heard this. He had been busy the whole night last night and was a little confused. He even forgot that this was Prince Wu's Palace.
He usually gets up so early. After all, not everyone is Tang Tianyu, and he still has to go to court.
However, considering that his wife was here, Tang Tianling came over to take a look, but unexpectedly disturbed Wen Liuli.
"I'm fine. Your wife is pregnant and needs more rest. Please don't disturb her."
"What Wang Sao said makes sense."
Hearing this, Tang Tianling nodded repeatedly and immediately lost the intention to look for Lin Buyao.
"By the way, weren't you guys out to deal with the piranhas? Why are you back now? Have you figured out a solution?"
"My father ordered me to check how many people have died in Yuyang Lake in recent years. I spent the whole night investigating, so I don't know what the situation is like there."
"Oh? How many people are there?"
Hearing this, Wen Liuli raised her eyebrows and immediately became alert. She had forgotten that since there were piranhas in Yuyang Lake, it was inevitable that someone would die in it.
"Ah~ After last night's investigation, nearly a hundred people died in Yuyang Lake in just one year, including fishermen and children. They all disappeared after falling into the lake, and no trace of their bodies was found."
When Wen Liuli heard this number, his heart skipped a beat. So many people died!
"No more, Wang's wife. I have to go to the morning court, so I'll take my leave now."
As he was talking, Tang Tianling looked up at the pale sky, then bowed to Wen Liuli and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Wen Liuli called him.
"and many more!"
"What else does Wang Madam want?"
“Have you ever heard of a clean sweep?”
Hearing this, Tang Tianling's body suddenly shook, and he felt as if something had suddenly dawned on him. He instantly became energetic, and then bowed to Wen Liuli.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wang, for your advice!"
After saying that, Tang Tianling turned around and left without looking back.
Wen Liuli just shook his head and smiled bitterly. What an impatient guy! He should at least bring some breakfast with him on the way.
In fact, ever since Tang Tianyu and the others left yesterday, Wen Liuli has been thinking about whether there is any way to solve the fish disaster. It was only when she saw Tang Tianling just now that she remembered it.
When she was young, she watched a TV series in which piranhas appeared. It seemed that the government was in a hurry to open the floodgates to release the floodwaters or something. Anyway, the piranha problem was solved later.
An hour later, Tang Tianling rushed to the court, and at this time, the ministers in the court were already arguing about how to deal with the piranhas.
Some people said to go fishing, while others said to open up another lake and abandon Yuyang Lake.
In short, there are all kinds of bad ideas, but no one can come up with a serious solution.
Until Tang Tianling walked in with dark circles under his eyes.
"My sons and ministers see my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."
"Stand up, how is the matter you were asked to investigate going?"
When Tang Zhentian saw Tang Tianling, his eyes suddenly lit up. There was not a single reliable official among the civil and military officials in this court. If we talk about brains, this kid is the most reliable.
"Father, after my investigation last night, ninety-three people have died from piranhas in Yuyang Lake in the past year, including more than ten children, more than ten passers-by who accidentally fell into the water, and the rest were fishermen."
"what!"
When everyone heard this number, their eyes widened. They all thought that a lot of people had died, but they didn't expect so many.
"This piranha is really a nuisance."
"Why did you only know about this now?"
"Once you fall into the water, you will die without a burial place!"
……
"Father, I have a plan to solve this piranha problem!"
Hearing the discussions of the important officials in the court, Tang Tianling did not take it seriously, but bowed and said to Tang Zhentian.
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhentian's eyes suddenly lit up. He was waiting for you to say this.
"bar!"
"Ok?"
"What do you mean?"
"How to stop?"
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but frown. How could the water be stopped? If it was stopped, how could the water irrigate the farmland?
"Father, I think we can make a giant net to trap the piranhas in Yuyang Lake, and then open the gate to release the water! This way, the people will not suffer from the piranhas."
"When the water level drops, we will collect the nets and catch the piranhas along with all the fish species in Yuyang Lake!"
Tang Tianling didn't care about the discussions around him and continued to talk to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell silent. One had to admit that this method was indeed feasible, but how big a net would be needed?
Tang Zhentian narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. This was indeed a good idea.
"Did you come up with this idea?"
"Father, this method was proposed by Princess Wu, and I am just conveying it on her behalf."
"Oh?"
Tang Tianyu on the side was stunned when he heard this. That’s right, why didn’t he think of asking Wen Liuli?
How long have I been on Blue Star? How can I have as much knowledge as Wen Liuli?
However, this method is easier said than done. The key is not to open the floodgates to release the water, but to close the net.
How to collect a net that can block Yuyang Lake?
You know, the size of Yuyang Lake is definitely not exaggerated. The width alone is hundreds of meters. How can we close the net and catch all the fish in one go?
Moreover, there are not only piranhas in the lake. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of kilograms of fish alone.
"Just do as King Wen said!"
"Wei Xianzhan!"
"The minister is here."
Hearing Tang Zhentian calling him, the Minister of Works Wei Xianxian hurriedly stood up, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Needless to say, he knew what His Majesty wanted him to do, and it was a tough job. He was afraid that the Ministry of Works would have to work overtime for some time to come.
"The matter of this giant net will be handed over to the Ministry of Works. I will give you seven days. If you cannot produce it after seven days, you will be held responsible."
"I accept the decree."
With a long sigh, Wei Xianxian wanted to cry but had no tears. But what could he do? Who made him do this hard job in the Ministry of Industry?
Tang Tianyu, on the other hand, felt that he had come here for nothing today. He didn't say a word until the morning court session was over.
But it's better this way. He didn't want to worry about the affairs of the court in the first place. If this matter didn't involve the people in the city, he wouldn't have come here at all.
After returning to Prince Wu's Mansion, Tang Tianyu went straight into the Liuli Garden. Wen Liuli had been fiddling with her drawings recently, and today was no exception.
The ability to draw is a skill she has mastered since childhood. She may not be able to draw landscapes, flowers and birds, but when it comes to drawing construction drawings, I'm afraid no one in the world of immortality can compare to her.
After all, the levels are different.
"What is this for?"
Looking at Wen Liuli's strange drawings, Tang Tianyu could still understand most of them, because he had seen Blue Star buildings before, and they were much more complicated than this one.
There was only one photo, and Tang Tianyu's face was full of question marks. Isn't this a courtyard? Why is there a big pit? Is it to raise fish?
