No one dislikes flattery, and the Emperor is human, of course no exception.
Li Shimin watched the waves at the stern of the ship with a smile, his mood exactly the same as the scenery before him.
Lang li ge lang, lang li ge lang~~
Finally, the trawler passed over the school of fish, and the walkie-talkie relayed the notification from Fang Er to haul in the net.
Li Shimin was already impatient and pressed the switch of the winch at the first opportunity.
As the net ropes creaked under the strain, the trawl gradually emerged from the water, and countless small fish darted out from the meshes in panic.
The seabirds in the sky were already familiar with this scene and swooped down to snatch the catch.
From the moment the trawl emerged from the water until it was fully hauled onto the ship, Li Shimin, Li Ji, and Li Xiaogong did not stop marveling.
It was too much!
When unloading the ship, it seemed like there were many fish, but that was just the result!
The process of fishing was even more shocking than the result!
Fish piled up like small mountains were dumped into the ship's hold. The crew sorted them with all their might, packing them into different baskets according to size, and then sending them to the cold storage via a conveyor belt.
After his shock subsided, Li Shimin grabbed Chai Lingwu and instructed him.
"Second brother, hurry up and call An Zhi over. Such a scene, how can there not be a painting of it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Chai Lingwu quickly dashed towards the cockpit and soon dragged Fang Er over.
As soon as he saw Fang Er, Li Shimin urged him eagerly.
"Quick, take some pictures! I want to show the officials. These are the fish I personally caught, hahahaha, so many fish!"
Fang Er could only comply.
There were some things on the mobile phone that were not suitable for outsiders to see, so he had to go to some trouble.
After taking the photos, everyone stood aside and watched the crew work until the entire catch from this net was processed. The crew reported the harvest.
"Your Majesty, Duke, a total of six hundred and two thousand seven hundred catties!"
Hiss~~~~!
The three Li's simultaneously inhaled a gust of sea breeze thick with the smell of fish. Six hundred thousand catties from one net!
An adult man needs about two catties of food per day, which is sixty catties a month.
In other words, this single net was enough for ten thousand people to eat for a month!
This, this is too terrifying!
When Fang Er said that they could catch over 700 million catties a year at the drying fish farm, Li Shimin didn't have a clear concept. Now, when converted, these fish were enough to feed one million people for a year!
Damn it, the sea is too generous!
Of course, the ship was even more generous!
As it was getting late, everyone had to stay on the ship overnight, and fishing would have to wait until daytime.
The dinner on the ship was, needless to say, all fish and shrimp.
There were steamed, fried, and boiled dishes of various kinds.
Fang Er himself was a foodie, so he had never been stingy with the food and drink for his subordinates. The ship was equipped with all sorts of seasonings.
After dinner, Lu Fei cleaned out a few cabins, and they slept through the night in the swaying waves.
Half-asleep, Fang Er was soundly asleep when he was jolted awake by Chai Lingwu.
"Brother, hurry, the Emperor wants you to take pictures for him."
Fang Er was very speechless: "What are you taking pictures of so early in the morning, the net hasn't been cast again!"
"Uh, the Emperor wants you to take pictures of the sunrise for him. He said he wants to show it to his aunt."
Chai Lingwu said as he dragged him out.
"Brother, can you wait for me to get dressed!"
"You go out first, I'll be right there!"
Damn it, Li Shimin seems to be obsessed with taking pictures, wanting to snap a couple of shots for whatever happens.
No, if this continues, he won't have any peace.
After pushing Chai Lingwu out, he locked the door, took out a new mobile phone, and pondered its contents. There were more than a dozen pre-installed software applications.
Baidu, delete.
Taobao, delete.
Gaode Maps, delete.
QQ, delete.
WeChat, delete.
~~~
After a flurry of deletions, he was troubled by the few remaining applications that couldn't be deleted.
As he swiped across the interface, Fang Er's eyes suddenly lit up.
Children's Mode!
Hahahaha~~~
Huawei's Meitu is so thoughtful, Children's Mode for you!
It's great!
He quickly brought up the settings, changing the permissions to only allow opening the camera and viewing the photo album. After saving, he tested it a few times, and indeed, other functions and undeletable software could no longer be opened.
He hid the icons of those few applications and walked out with the phone.
Li Shimin was leaning on the bow of the ship, looking at the streak of orange-red on the horizon, his face full of enchantment.
Hearing Fang Er's footsteps, he said with a smile, "Come, take some pictures for me!"
"Your Majesty, I've thought about it and decided to give you this. You can use it to take pictures yourself. Otherwise, when you return to Chang'an, will you still have people summoned to take pictures for you in the palace?"
"Come, I'll teach you how to use it."
Li Shimin was overjoyed upon hearing this. He quickly walked over, patted Fang Er on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, uncle was right about you, so filial, hahahaha."
Damn it, look, with just a mobile phone, he went from calling me "Your Majesty" to "uncle". In later generations, he would definitely be like Heshen!
Fang Er, speechless, taught him hand-in-hand how to take pictures and how to charge the solar power bank.
In fact, there wasn't much to teach. Powering on, powering off, taking pictures, viewing the photo album. Besides these, this mobile phone couldn't do anything else.
After learning, Li Shimin was excited. He stood with his back to the sunrise, raised his hand, and started snapping pictures furiously.
Not only did he take pictures of himself, but he also pulled Li Xiaogong and Li Ji along.
After taking selfies, he transformed into a photographer, and he was so dedicated!
Looking at the selfie stick in his spatial warehouse, Fang Er wondered if he should also give him one.
Woo~~ woo~~~ woo~~~
Just then, a howling sound came from nearby.
Fang Er curiously walked to the railing and looked in the direction of the sound, and a scene that surprised him appeared.
A group of dolphins, about 2 meters long, were playing by the side of the ship, looking incredibly cute.
They were all black and very shiny, with only their bellies being silver-gray.
Their tails were fan-shaped and could be moved up and down. There were two fins on the lower side of their bodies, used for paddling and swimming.
Their mouths were protruding and very pointed. Their faces were embedded with a pair of black, watery big eyes, blinking constantly, making them very adorable.
On the sea surface, which was as flat as a mirror, the dolphins sometimes circled in the water, and sometimes, like high jumpers, they swung their powerful tails, leaping high out of the water, displaying their beautiful dance in the air, and then returned to the vast sea to swim.
"Whoa, these fish are huge! I've never seen them before. Brother, let's catch them and try them?"
Chai Lingwu also came over. The moment he saw the dolphins, he suggested to Fang Er.
As a result, to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Er turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of anger.
"If you dare to kill these fish, we can no longer be brothers!"
"Also, tell everyone on the ship, no matter who it is, if they dare to harm these fish, I will make them pay!"
