It was the same starry sky, the same night, and the same bright stars.
In Baishuitang, next to Hongze County, Huainan Province, Tang dynasty.
"Quick, quickly arrange the seeds and use the oil lamp to lure the crabs. Let me tell you, the money is coming."
The county magistrate of Hongze County, Du Du, shouted loudly in the village, telling the villagers to get up and work, catching crabs.
The yacht brought the Winged Knights and the Li Family Zhuangzi's men to their destination. They were very fast.
Walking along the Bian River, they ran directly to Hongze Lake, which was now called Baishui Pond.
The Bian River flowed into the Huai River. Beside the Huai River was the Baishui Pond.
On the other side of the Bian River, it entered the Yellow River a little bit, and then turned into the Luo River, crossing over in a large oblique line.
Hongze Lake was the closest place that Li Yi knew to produce hairy crabs, so there was no need to go back and forth through the river.
Chu Zhou City was located in Shanyang County, which was about forty to fifty miles away from Hongze County.
The people of the Li Family Zhuangzi took out the documents of the head of the secretariat and asked the county magistrate, Du Du, to cooperate.
Du Du didn't have time to rest. He crawled out of bed and called the county deputy, the official registrar, the county deputy, and the other officials and bailiffs to board the boat and head to the village.
The yacht circled around the lake. After circling around for a while, it encountered a village and released a few people to call the people to work.
On the yacht, there were only a small number of rows that were brought along to act as locks.
If the commoners were unwilling to move, they could just shout. What was there to earn? Stop lying.
If they were to catch crabs in the middle of the night, where would they send them? Do you want to eat crabs? Why don't you bring the yamen runners to catch him?
"Ba Shui Li Family Zhuangzi is collecting crabs. Give him more money. Get up quickly. Where is the village chief? The Central Secretariat issued an order. "Du Du changed the way he called out.
"Is it Li Dongzhu from Chang 'an?" A night watchman came up and asked loudly.
"Yes, quickly go and shout. No matter what method you use, shout it out." Du Du was anxious.
"Alright! Watch me. " The night watchman nodded his head vigorously and turned around to run into the village. As he ran, he knocked on the gong and shouted, "Fire, fire, quickly get up and put out the fire ~ ~ ~"
Du Du: "…"
When a family is on fire, the whole village helps out. They are of the same breath and branch.
Some of the people who heard the shouts of Baishui Li Family Zhuangzi had already stood up, while some of them didn't hear it at all.
At this moment, the gong sounded. Needless to say, something had happened. Something big had happened.
As soon as he heard that there was a fire, he put on his trousers, bare-chested, carrying the wooden plank and the pump, and rushed out. He looked all around, but where was the fire?
"Caught fire? Whose house is it? "Someone asked the neighbor who came out of the yard.
"Li Dongzhu is collecting crabs. Du Laojiu is blindly shouting. Go back and put on your clothes before catching crabs."
The neighbor held a tool and said to the shirtless man.
"Which Li Dongzhu? Who's Proprietor Li, who's he? "
The people who wanted to put out the fire were furious. They were sleeping soundly when they were tricked.
"Who still dares to call himself Li Dongzhu now? Ba Shui Li Family Zhuangzi, go and put on your clothes. Li Dongzhu will take us to make money. I'll go first. "
The neighbor took his things and ran to the lakeside. He believed that no one from the Li Family Zhuangzi would dare to casually use their names.
"Ah! Wait for me. "The shirtless man ran back and said to his wife," Ba Shui … "
"I heard you. Go quickly. I'll go too. Da Wa, take care of your brother and sister. "The woman put on her clothes.
The villages around Hongze Lake became lively at night. Some people cast nets, some threw cages, and some used lanterns to lure crabs …
The yacht distributed printed instructions for tying crabs with straw ropes and bundles of straw.
The yacht turned around again. The lights on the yacht were all turned on for the villagers to see.
At the same time, they distributed candies and popcorn sticks to the villagers for the children to eat. The children would have delicious food tomorrow morning.
Du Du and the people from the government office sat on the deck of the yacht, eating lake seafood and drinking beer.
"The cruisers of the Tang dynasty are really impressive. I heard that there are even talking mechanical men?"
Du Du had seen it in the newspaper. It was his first time riding on it. He could brag about it for the rest of his life.
Thinking of the provincial governor, Du Du was stunned. He turned his head and asked, "Did anyone go to the provincial government to inform Provincial Governor Wu?"
Everyone shook their heads. They were all on the yacht. Who would go so far to inform?
"If that's the case … if Provincial Governor Wu blames us …" Du Du found that the wine was not good to drink. It was too bitter.
"No need to pay attention to him." The villagers did not care about Provincial Governor. My Dongzhu is in a hurry to find crabs. So what if he's the Provincial Governor?
"I heard that Provincial Governor Wu and Wu Jieyu are distant relatives." Du Du explained.
"His surname is Li. So what if he's a member of the imperial family? The Winged Knights are only responsible to Her Majesty. "The Winged Knights man said.
They did not eat lake seafood or drink alcohol. They ate pork floss. They were afraid that they would not be acclimatized after eating the lake seafood.
"Oh!" Du Du's heart fell. Yes, the Li Family Zhuangzi and the Winged Knights were working. Who cares about Provincial Governor?
"You don't eat fish? The fish in the lake is fresh and tender. "Du Du looked at the Winged Knights man eating and asked.
"Here, try some. Pork floss. Give me 1 jin of the usual 3 jin of fresh meat. Give me 1 jin of the military 6 jin of fresh meat."
The Winged Knights man pinched some pork floss and placed it on Du Du's plate. He did not care if the other party disliked it or not.
Du Du reached out with his chopsticks and took a bite, "Oh! Fragrant. Military food is delicious and sweet. "
"Du Ming Fu is knowledgeable. You can actually taste it. I added sugar to supplement the calories.
Chicken meat is more abundant and has less calories. Our Winged Knights pursue calories and protein.
Calories are the fats, and protein is the eggs. Pork floss is easier to chew than jerky. "
The Winged Knights man gave a simple introduction. Anyway, the other party would not understand what he was saying.
"I see." Du Du did not understand, but nodded to show that he understood.
"We will come again in the future. This place is closer. The next time is the day after tomorrow. Prepare more crabs.
The cruiser will tow a boat over and help load the goods before rushing back.
Provincial Governor Wu will know when the time comes. If he is willing to come, he can board the boat to rest.
When we return, we will report that he is a distant relative of Wu Jieyu. That way, Her Majesty will know. "
The Li Family Zhuangzi man reassured Du Du again. "Don't be afraid. You are now working for the Li Family Zhuangzi."
Another villager pushed a cart from a yacht over, "The small mechanical puppets will be left in Zi Wei City. Next time, bring two of them for everyone to take a look."
As he spoke, he moved the things down. There were small boxes with words written on them. Who was it for?
There were bailiffs from the county office, and there were even people pushing carts behind. There was no shortage of officials from the provincial government.
Ordinary people were given soap, and those with official positions were given soap. Then there was the addition of glycerin. It was cold here in the winter.
"How can this be? This is an order from the Palace Secretary, and it is Her Majesty's man. Help the Li Dongzhu do something. "
Du Du tried hard to make himself appear less greedy. His eyes were shining.
"My Dongzhu and all of you are officials in the same court. This is a close friendship. Please do not reject it. It will chill Dongzhu's heart." The villager gave a reason.
"Li Dongzhu has served the country and the people. I admire him. It is a pity that I have not had the chance to meet him. Today, I have received the friendship of colleagues. In the future, I will use Li Dongzhu as a role model."
Du Du saw his name. The box was not small. How much was this box worth?
When he thought of money, he thought of the crabs again and said, "For the people to catch crabs, one tael is enough!"
"The Ming Residence really loves the people. Just like my Dongzhu, one tael for ten catties of crabs."
The villager knew what Du Du meant and changed it to a specific unit.
