Chapter 1575: Fish Feast

February, big fish pool.

"History of the Liao Dynasty·Yingwei Zhi": "The emperor left his tent in the first ten days of the first month and arrived there about sixty days ago. On the ice of his tent, he cut the ice to get fish. When the ice was broken, he used eagles and falcons to catch ducks and geese. He left in the morning and returned in the evening.

, engaged in hunting, will return when spring is over.”

This is an important event for the northern nomadic regime. At the conference, the emperor and his ministers will discuss state affairs, hunt and teach martial arts, chiefs and leaders of subordinate countries and tribes will come to see the emperor, the emperor will host a banquet, and the emperor and his ministers will congratulate each other.

The big fish pond became Chagan Lake in later generations. Nowadays, this area is dotted with rivers and swamps, with whitebait swimming around, rich aquatic plants, and geese and ducks inhabiting it.

The forests along the coast are lush, the fields are lush and grassy, ​​and the scenery is picturesque. It was a fishing and hunting place that the emperors of the Liao Dynasty visited every year for pleasure.

This grand parade thoroughly promoted the "national prestige" of the Liao Kingdom. Flags were fluttering all over the sky, gilded ceremonial armor shone brightly in the sun, and new-style music was played that shook the heavens and the earth. Tribes from all over the world who came to perform Hajj and worship saw such momentum.

In the grand ceremony, everyone fell to the ground to worship, and the hymns filled the sky, which gave Yelu Hongji the greatest satisfaction.

Zhao Xiaoyi had become a little thin from exhaustion during this period. Yelu Hongji's affection for this descendant of the southern clan became deeper and deeper. He usually served Yelu Yanxi, King of Yan, on his left and right, which became one of Yelu Hongji's pomps.

Changchunzhou is an area under the traditional control of straight women. The difficult negotiations between Shen Kuo and Yelu Shensi have already produced the first stage of results. The annual coin of 500,000 guan will no longer be distributed directly from this year, but will be distributed "reasonably" in proportion.

Gave it to the Khitans, Tatars and Nüzhi.

The method of distribution is joint development. For example, in Changchun Island, Sui coins are used as inputs for the development of farmland and water conservancy, and then the Nüzhi people use rewards and land to "discount shares". The Liao State gives the Nvzhi people "return millet rebates" from the output of the fields.

”.

Similarly, the Tatar people's annual coin rewards will also be used to develop the land around Yuerluo, and the Tatar people will benefit from it.

In addition, upon Zhao Xiaoyi's suggestion, the Liao Kingdom will also introduce several felt factories and cheese factories from the Song Dynasty to process livestock products of Tatars and straight women. Bread and cakes are now popular in the Song Dynasty, and the demand for cheese has no upper limit.

You can get money immediately if you invest.

These suggestions were of real benefit to the development of the Liao State. Yelu Hongji no longer had any suspicion of Zhao Xiaoyi, and he confirmed the "sincere attitude" of the Song State in seeking cooperation.

After the team arrived at the big fish pond, the grand and grand lake ceremony began.

In addition to the sound of horse bells, drums, and horns, there are also the chanting of monks and the grand Nuo dance of shamans.

After nightfall, Zhao Xiaoyi ignited the fireworks specially brought for Yelu Hongji. Countless fireworks flew into the sky above the big fish pond, bursting out with colorful starlight, which shocked all the Tibetan people present at the miracle and fell to the ground to worship.

On the other side, work on the glacial lake has begun, and the feat that surprised them is yet to come.

In the middle of the night, under the leadership of Lao Yutou from the Women's Strait Department, members of the DaSong Polytechnic team had already begun to search for fish schools and arrange to set up nets.

This is actually similar to trawling at sea, but setting up a trawl net under the ice requires some engineering skills.

After kneeling on the ice to pray to the lake god, the female straight old fish head drew a huge circle with her footsteps, which is the "fish nest".

After determining the location, the science and engineering team began to use an auger to dig out the first ice hole, which served as the "lower mesh".

Go down the mesh a few hundred steps to either side and put in a blowtorch flag as a sign.

Walk a few hundred steps straight ahead to identify the round beach light flag.

From the position of the two round beach flags, go to the meeting place a few hundred steps ahead, determine the "net pool", and insert the net outlet flags. The ice surface planned by these big flags is the net nest.

After the net nest was determined, the science and engineering team began to cut out ice holes every ten steps from the lower mesh to the wing flag. Then, a "piercing rod" about 20 meters long was inserted into the hole, and a tool called a hook was used to remove the ice.

The lower penetration rod is pushed to the next ice eye.

There is a "water rope" tied to the back end of the rod. There is a big tape behind the water rope, and a net behind the big tape. Pull the water rope to drive the big tape forward, and hang it on the horse-drawn winch.

Driving the horses to turn the winch, the big rope slid into the ice cave with the big net, and a big net was laid between the two ice holes.

This was repeated, and soon, a huge net surrounded by ninety-six nets was formed outside the entire fish nest.

Then connect the mesh pieces together with hooks to form a complete mesh.

Next, it’s time to put out the net. Three horses pull the net out wheel. The dry tape and the hook on the net out wheel cooperate to merge the two sides of the net together. Ninety-six nets form a large net, divided into sixteen parts.

Pulled from the outgoing network pool.

This operation lasted all night on the ice. At dawn the next morning, Yelu Hongji led his men to the vicinity of the fishing pond and announced the start of the fish feast.

Zhao Xiaoyi waved the command flag, and the female straight people began to drive the horses to push the winch, and the big nets were pulled out of the net outlet pool one by one.

There was no fish in the first net, and just as the barbarians around were lost, the second net started to catch fish!

Nowadays, all the fish that can be hung on the net are big fish. Yelu Hongji smiled and awarded the gold-plated hook and sickle to Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Yanxi stepped forward and hooked a big fish.

This is the "head fish". In the roaring cheers of the crowd, Yelu Yanxi presented the head fish to Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji took out a knife, took a piece of fish meat from the fish's gills behind its head, put it into his mouth and ate it. Then he announced something in Khitan dialect, which made the crowd even more enthusiastic.

Next, it’s time to witness the miracle.

More and more fish were brought up in the net, and there was no time to pick them. The science and engineering team promptly removed the net pieces and had them dragged away, and they were slowly picked aside.

What's even more terrifying is that when you get out of the fish pond, dense schools of fish have blocked the entire water surface.

Aguda gave an order, and countless straight women came forward with nets, hooks and sickles and began to fish out from the inside.

The final net belly is like a huge net bag. After the net pieces are collected, the fish in the entire fish nest are concentrated into the bottom net bag.

It's impossible to drag it up directly. You can only slowly raise the net and keep fishing out.

The crowd on the entire ice went crazy. It was the first time in so many years that the Liao Kingdom had such a huge harvest!

The earliest straight women were already dying. It was not because of their physical quality, but because the gains had exceeded their understanding and were close to miracles, creating a psychological barrier.

His hands and feet began to tremble, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and his physical strength soon became exhausted.

The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were actually shocked. They themselves did not know that there were so many fish hidden under the big fish pond.

Yelu Yanxi forced himself to calm down and announced loudly. Immediately, the crowd of soldiers around him cheered and joined in. They began to take off their robes, put the big fish into their robes, and dragged their sleeves towards him.

tent lila.

The King of Yan gave a huge favor. Xu soldiers and civilians could take the fresh fish from this year's first fish feast for themselves!

There are 80,000 tents gathered around the big fish pond. Even if one tent takes ten catties, it will not be able to collect all the millions of catties of fish on the Internet!

Yelu Hongji held Zhao Xiaoyi's arm and looked at the scene of thunderous cheers and carols. His eyes felt a little moist: "Xiaoyi's gift is really too heavy."

Zhao Xiaoyi said in a low voice: "This is the sincerity of our Majesty and the Empress Dowager. The two brotherly states have not had war for ninety years, and now they can prosper hand in hand. It is also the common wish of the two dynasties."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said: "Can I be a great person from the Liao Dynasty?"

Zhao Xiaoyi complimented: "In the Liao Dynasty, there were peaceful kings, hard-working ministers, and honest people. As long as they resisted disasters, they would be like flowers blooming with brocade or burning oil cooking oil."

"Nowadays, we are promoting water conservancy and implementing the policy of returning millet with annual coins, so that the border residents have a long-term plan for peace and prosperity."

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly: "After the first fish feast, let me show you the first goose feast. There is one more thing you need to know. I, Daliao, have millions of cavalry and archery troops!"

…

In February, Jiachen, the imperial court suffered another heavy loss.

Sikong died at the age of seventy-two with Lu Gong, who was the author of Zhangjun State Affairs in Tongping.

When the Empress Dowager saw Wen Yanbo and Su You who had come to court to report, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Unfortunately for the country, Sima Xianggong died, and Lu Sikong died again."

Zhao Xu also had a very good impression of Lu Gongzhu, and felt very sad about the old man's death. He personally visited his home to lay a memorial ceremony for him, and gave him thousands of pieces of gold and silk.

Honest and virtuous".

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the prime ministers have been responsible for the military and state affairs with the Three Fair Rules, but only four people, Lu Yijian and Lu Gongzhu, father and son, occupy half of the seats, which can be called honorable.
