But Han Du didn't care whether he admitted it or not, and said jokingly: "Uncle Ben said you are, you are, and you are not. You don't need to refute, it's useless to refute."
Hearing Han Du's words, even Jiang Ming turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear anything. In the past, he only thought that people who licked blood from a knife like him would cheat. I didn't expect that a civil servant like your Excellency would become more shameless than them.
Moreover, the gangster is well-founded. Whether it is from the Ming Dynasty's national law or from the secular point of view, there is no problem in the adult's statement. As an earl, my lord, it is true that whoever he says will assassinate will be assassinated. Unless you are also a distinguished person, or have a certain status, you can avoid this disaster.
Lu Jian used to feel that his position as the head of the village gave him the advantage of overpowering others, so he received a lot of benefits. But now he realizes that compared with the real nobles, his past methods are nothing more than mere tricks.
Lu Jian's energy was completely interrupted at once, and all his previous complacency disappeared completely. He knew that not only he was finished, but his whole family was also finished. He couldn't even remember how many people he had offended through his tyranny in the past. Even if the earl does not punish him, as long as the news that he has offended the earl spreads, no one will speak for him anymore. Naturally, those people would not let him go. These people alone could eat him alive.
Luo Guo saw with his own eyes the disintegration of Lu Jian's spirit. He did not expect that a person who thought he was so arrogant would actually become depressed after just one word from the person in front of him. The lowered head was no longer angry at all.
Han Du didn't pay much attention to Lu Jian. Such a person was simply insignificant to Han Du.
On the contrary, it was Luo Guo who impressed Han Du, and he was a little frightened when he looked at her. Han Du smiled and comforted him: "Since I know how to fish in the sea, I wonder if I can serve the imperial court?"
Luo Guo dares to say that he disagrees?
"The common people are willing! The common people are very grateful to my uncle for the promotion and are willing to work as cows or horses in return." Luo Guo Lao knelt down to Han Du with tears streaming down his face.
Judging from the way this uncle treated Lu Jian just now, although this uncle is young, he is not a good person. If he didn't agree, maybe he would be one of the people who assassinated the uncle.
"Hahaha," Han Du squinted his eyes and smiled, reaching out to help Luo Guo up from the ground, "My father-in-law said something serious, there is no such thing as repaying a favor without repaying a favor. As long as my father-in-law can serve the court with all his heart and catch fish, I promise. , I will ask for credit for you in front of the emperor when the time comes."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Luo Guo was dumbfounded. In fact, the title of Emperor is too far away from him.
Jiang Ming glanced at Luo Guo with envy and said with a smile: "My dear, you don't know yet, but our Lord is the celebrity in front of the Emperor. With the gold medal, we can enter the palace to see the Emperor at any time."
Hearing that Han Du's background was so great, Luo Guo's face completely broke out into a smile.
But the last glimmer of light disappeared from Lu Jian's eyes, and he no longer struggled pointlessly.
Everyone can see the emperor at any time. He uses the emperor's decree to ban the sea to blackmail them. This is simply a big joke.
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle," Luo Guo quickly bowed again.
Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, his face turned aside, and he immediately said: "Uncle, if you want to go fishing in the sea, you have to hurry up."
"Oh? Why." Han Du was puzzled.
Luo Guo said eagerly: "Now is the time when the fish conditions are at their best. If you miss it, you will have to wait for other fish in two months."
When Han Du heard this, he became anxious. Now that Lao Zhu is pressing hard, he definitely doesn't have two months to waste. However, Han Du sighed slightly, "I also want to catch the fish as soon as possible, but now I don't even know where to fish, so what can I do? Let's do it step by step."
A smile appeared on Luo Guo's face, "Have you forgotten about my little one? This is the best place!" He raised his hand and pointed to the sea in the distance.
Han Du looked at the sea, which was the same as anywhere else, and couldn't help but feel that "it took no effort to get there."
Looking at a reef with two extensions, it looks like two giant arms trying to embrace the sea. And there happens to be a flat beach in the middle, which is perfect for docking boats.
"I didn't notice it just now, but now I see it, this is indeed a good place." The more Han Du looked at it, the happier he became.
Luo Guo explained at the side: "You don't know, this is the place where the ancestors of the grassroots went out to sea to fish. Thinking that before this time of year, it would be really densely packed with fishing boats. In just two months, the fish catch , which is more than what you can get from a year of hard work in farming.”
After a pause, he said with a self-deprecating smile: "Let uncle laugh, these things are not worth mentioning to uncle. I shouldn't use these words to taint uncle's ears."
"You can't say that," Han Du smiled slightly, "You can earn a year's worth of harvest in two months. If it were Uncle Ben, he would also follow suit."
With a simple word, the distance between him and Luo Guo was instantly shortened.
"Uncle, what you said makes sense. Life is difficult for common people and others. Who wouldn't rush to be the first to have such an opportunity?" Luo Guo looked at the beach in the distance and sighed, "In the past, there were plank roads on both sides where boats could be parked. . What a pity, it has only been a short dozen years since the sea was banned. Everything in the past has disappeared. "
"If the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come in," Han Du said with a chuckle, "It's better if we don't have it. We can just build a bigger and better one."
"Build a bigger and better one?" Luo Guo couldn't help but mutter to himself when he heard this. He was fascinated by what the uncle said that a bigger and better one should look like. He couldn't imagine it.
"You also said that two months of fishing in the sea can equal a year's harvest in the fields. If we want to fully utilize such a good place, we naturally need to build a bigger and better one for fishing." Han Du smiled.
Luo Guo was puzzled and didn't understand what Han Du meant. "What do you mean, uncle? I'm a stupid person, please forgive me."
Han Du didn't pay attention and explained: "You are also a common person. You should know that this food is never enough."
Luo Guo nodded and sighed: "Of course, even in a good year, the grassroots people don't dare to eat grains in large quantities. They always want to save the food in case of shortages. The grassroots people have lived like this all their lives and have seen several people starve to death with their own eyes. indivual."
