Chapter 520 A stick

Liuqiu is just a small country with a small population, and it is not even comparable to a village in Jian'an. As for wealth, let alone. Now that Jian'an just randomly brings out a middle-income family, it will not be much worse than he is now. Other people's wealth is rising year by year, but his own wealth is shrinking day by day. With one decline and the other, it may not take many years to survive. King Anyi can only rely on his little salary and farming.

Moreover, because Liu Qiu was too small, and the Japanese in the north had officially been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Jiannan in the south and Japanese in the south surrounded Liu Qiu, and the establishment of Yizhou was already in operation. In the near future, a new state would appear in the south of Liu Qiu. From Yizhou to Liu Qiu, it would only take three or five days of sea journey. Under such a situation, Liu Qiu's status would be even more unstable. In the heart of the court, Liu Qiu would become an unnecessary place. When it really arrived that day, maybe his hereditary title might be changed to one lifetime. After a few generations, he would have to be given a part of a scattered official.

Now, Liuqiu still has a chance. He can use Liuqiu to reconcile Henan Road (abbreviated today's Shandong), Hebei Road (now northeast and part of Heilongjiang) and Japan's siege of Goguryeo for a few years, so that he can speak more in the court. But if Goguryeo is destroyed, Liuqiu's role will completely disappear. Then prepare for the future. It's too late.

Now when Wang Kuang mentioned this, he said that he could use this opportunity to make contributions, and that this contribution would continue to make his children and grandchildren stand up. An Yi was excited. He trembled with his hands forward and looked at Wang Kuang with a look of sorrow: "Mr. Jian'an is serious about this? If he can really make contributions to the court, even if he lets a fisherman on both sides of the river set up a tablet for Marshal Jian'an at home, he would not be enough to thank Marshal Jian'an for his help."

Wang Kuang suddenly had goose bumps all over the ground. He quickly took a step back, avoided King Anyi's hands, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Anyi, can you be calm? If you don't bring such a person, you're not a good manly style."

One sentence made King An Yi shudder, and quickly stopped his hand and said shyly: "It's because someone is too excited, it's because someone is too excited, laughing at him."

Xu Guoxu followed Xiao Wangsheng to read the gift and just turned around. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "I said, King Anyi, you, it's true that Erlang is most afraid of people saying something grateful to him. The more you say, he feels more uncomfortable. No, Erlang becomes angry later and doesn't tell you the way, I will cry." This is why he dared to be so presumptuous with King Anyi. If he had changed to old dukes such as Cheng Zhijie or Yuchi Jingde, how could Xu Guoxu dare to speak in such a tone? Isn't he seeking death? In fact, this is the king of King Anyi's name and no reality. Not only Xu Guoxu, who is now a mighty inner court in Chang'an, dares to speak to them in this tone. Even ordinary officials who have not yet entered the ranks of high-ranking officials speak to King Anyi, are they very respectful.

Xiao Wangsheng held a small glass bottle in his hand and followed Xu Guoxu. Wang Kuang glanced at the glass bottle in Xiao Wangsheng's hand, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Sheng'er, where does the fish in your hand come from?"

In the glass bottle in Xiao Wangsheng's hand, there is a fish about three inches long. It has a large head, a flatter snout than ordinary fish, and a thicker lip. Unlike other fish, it also has a pair of beards. There are many beards, carp also have a pair of beards, and catfish have three pairs of beards. The yellow bone fish, which is a specialty in Jianzhou and Ningzhou, also has three pairs of beards. Strictly speaking, yellow bone fish also belongs to the catfish category.

But the fish in Xiao Wangsheng's hand is not. It has phosphorus. Although it is small, it can be clearly seen. However, its size is slender and is definitely not a carp. Others can recognize this kind of fish, but Wang Kuang recognizes it. That is the famous "a stick". The origin of its name is because it has few internal organs. As the saying goes, there is only one stick, and the general meaning is that one intestine is connected to the end.

This kind of fish is an omnivorous fish, especially carnivorous fish. They like to eat small animals or larvae in the water, so the meat is delicious and firm, with very few thorns. It is also a very expensive freshwater fish. I have eaten this fish, but I forgot the origin. Now when I see Xiao Wangsheng holding this one in his hand, of course it aroused his appetite. There are many fish in this world, but there are a few delicious fish, and a stick is one of them.

At this time, a stick in the glass bottle was curled up and could not move in the glass bottle. The reason was that the bottle was too small. Not to mention turning around, it could not even straighten it. As a result, if it did not see its mouth open and close, and its gills were the same, Wang Kuang would have suspected that it was a dead fish. This is also a child, a child, and he always liked small fish and shrimps, so he fell in love with it when he saw a stick and grabbed one. If it weren't for Xiao Wang Sheng like this, he would have been ruined by his family as an ordinary fish under Wang Kuang's nose.

As soon as he saw Wang Kuang's eyes, Xu Guoxu became energetic. Generally speaking, as long as Wang Kuang showed a look similar to that of the present, it means he had the opportunity to be the first person to taste the delicious food. He ignored Wang Kuang and directly reached out and pointed at the three servants who were carrying the things in the carriage, shouting: "You, you, you, you three, move the wooden barrel behind the carriage to the kitchen, change the water immediately, keep someone staring at it, don't die." Just kidding, Wang Kuang's eyes now mean that the fish in the wooden barrel is definitely a good thing. If one is missing, Xu Guoxu will feel distressed for a long time.

"Oh, I forgot this. Oh, don't run so fast. Remember to change the water to ask for mountain spring water and don't use well water." An Yi remembered something when he heard Xu Guoxu's words, and quickly shouted at the backs of the three servants who ran with the bucket after Xu Guoxu's order.

After that, he said to Wang Kuang, "After arriving in Dajiang, I thought about buying some good things for Xiaolangzi. I thought that Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang) was large and there were crowds of people, and there might be good things. So I turned to Jiangzhou and stopped for a day. That day, I saw several restaurant shopkeepers competing to buy this bucket of fish. I thought that this fish must be a good fish. Otherwise, why would other people not grab so many big fish, but instead rob the small fish? So I used some means to buy this bucket of fish. I also learned from the fishermen that this fish likes clean water, especially the sweet and clean water. Along the way, all the mountain spring water was replaced, and no one died. I think they must like this mountain spring water."

"Okay, Brother Anyi really gave me a big surprise. I have been looking for this fish for several years, but I have never known the origin. Now it seems that it must be in the Jiangzhou area. I can't say that I will be in the kitchen again today. Brother Anyi might as well stay and have a drink together. How about it?" Wang Kuang didn't know the origin of this stick, but he knew its preciousness and was difficult to catch. Moreover, the fish was not big, and the longest was only one stroke long (about 20 cm). Judging from the size of the wooden barrel, I'm afraid there were dozens of them? Okay, there were a few more meals to eat.

From a stick, he remembered a fish, that is, the silverfish that is also located in Poyang Lake. The silverfish is smaller and white all over. Although the meat cannot be compared with a stick, it is much stronger than ordinary fish. Moreover, its advantage lies in its good-looking body. It is also known as the four famous fishes in China with Songjiang perch, Yellow River carp, and Yangtze River anchovies. Of course, in Wang Kuang's opinion, one or two of the so-called four famous fishes are not worthy of their names. They may be famous fish in the local area, but in comparison, first of all, the Yellow River carp is not as good as the mandarin fish. However, this is just a period of theory, and there is no need to worry about it. If the name is not important, the important one is as delicious as it is. For example, the current bucket of sticks is not as famous as the four famous fish, but it is delicious. What about the others.

(When it comes to silverfish, book friends should pay attention when buying them. Nowadays, many silverfish sold in supermarkets are fake. Artificially made of gelatin and other models, it is not difficult to distinguish the authenticity. It is just to see the patterns of the tail and whether the eyes are raised. If it is a fake fish, the fish eyes are glued with black sesame or dotted with black pigment. You can tell it out with a closer look.)

When he saw Wang Kuang, he forgot the main business. An Yi was a little anxious. For him, what Wang Kuang said was his biggest heart disease. He was so anxious that he couldn't help but glared at Xu Guoxu, "You kid, you don't come early or late, but when Jian'an Hou said the key point, he ran over. Can't you do this incense stick or two incense sticks at night?"

Xu Guoxu naturally knew what King Anyi was thinking, and smiled: "King Anyi, don't stare at someone with that look. Like Erlang, I don't like male style. Besides, there are one or two people in a family who are good-looking and don't eat your tricks." Seeing that King Anyi was really anxious, he hurriedly said: "No, don't, because you brought such a large bucket of good fish to Erlang, I just told Erlang."

After a pause, seeing Wang Kuang nodding at him, Xu Guoxu raised his hands with his hands on his back, looked up at the sky with his head high, and said leisurely: "King Anyi, do you know what my Tang Dynasty lacks the most now?"

"What is missing? Oh, what Jian'an Hou said, there is a shortage of population and labor. Is this credit meant to use a daily stove to exchange labor for population? Can this be achieved? The people in the north and the west are very tough, and they are all arrogant. It's better to bring these people in. It's better to have fewer people, but if there are too many people, wouldn't it cause trouble for the place?" King An Yi thought for a while and gave an answer.

"No, no, no." Xu Guoxu pulled up at this time. He was following Wang Kuang these days. Jian'an people and Jian'an officials were all respectful to Wang Kuang, and he couldn't always use them to make fun of him. Now King Anyi is in a hurry. If he doesn't take it, when will he tease him?
