Chapter 357: Sending Back the White Sturgeon
Yang Liuyi: Is it like the giant panda? After artificial breeding, the number of giant pandas is much greater now than before.
Snowflakes Falling: But the white sturgeon is a living creature, can it really be sent over?
Lucky Cat: That should be possible. Didn’t we send live chickens over before?
Handsome Prince: What are you waiting for, host? Send this white sturgeon over here quickly!
Shen Wanning didn't know whether rashly sending the sturgeons back would have an impact on China's biodiversity.
She sent a private message to the quiet evening breeze: Sister Evening Breeze, could you please help me ask, if it is a good thing or a bad thing if I send the white sturgeon back to China?
Quiet Evening Breeze: Okay, I happen to know some experts in biology and environmental science. Let me ask them for you first.
Shen Wanning: Okay, thank you Sister Wanfeng.
Then, Shen Wanning said in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, don't worry. Ask the authorities first. If I send the white sturgeons directly, will it have an impact on other creatures or the environment in China? If sending the white sturgeons back is a good thing, I will definitely help send some back."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was still discussing the white sturgeon. Most people supported her sending some white sturgeons back, and only a very few people disagreed.
Those who hold opposing views mean that the environment in China is no longer suitable for the survival of these white sturgeons and there is no need to send them back.
The fittest survive, the unfit are eliminated. The extinction of the Chinese sturgeon is precisely their choice of environment. The current environment is not suitable for them, so they choose extinction.
After a while, the fisherman drove an ox cart over and put the white sturgeon on the cart. Shen Wanning sat on the cart and went to the inn in Shayang County together.
That evening, Ningjing Wanfeng sent her a private message, saying that they had consulted biologists and environmentalists, and they all felt that sending the white sturgeon back to China would be of great research value to China.
At the same time, they promised that they would treat these white sturgeons well and strive to allow them to grow freely in the Yangtze River again.
After hearing their advice, Shen Wanning temporarily sent the sturgeon back to her room. Before sending it, she double-checked that it was being sent to a national authority.
The next day when she went to the fish market again, she found the fisherman again.
"Uncle, my parents like that sturgeon very much. I decided to buy some more. But I will only do this business with you, and it's still two taels of silver per sturgeon. Is that okay with you?" Shen Wanning asked.
Mainly, she was worried that if more fishermen were allowed to fish, too many sturgeons would be caught, which would have an impact on the world's ecology.
So she only found this one person and agreed on the quantity with him to avoid overfishing.
"Really...really? Miss? How many do you want? Or do you want all I catch?" the fisherman asked happily.
"Twenty, I only want twenty, no more. No matter the size, each one is two taels of silver. All of them must be alive and kicking, no dead ones." Shen Wanning added.
"Oh, okay, don't worry, I'll definitely catch it for you as soon as possible."
“How long will it take?”
"Three days, within three days, I will give you twenty." The fisherman promised.
"Okay, then I'll give you three days. I'll pay five taels of silver as a deposit first, and you pay it to me over three days, a little bit every day. I'll come to pick it up in a carriage." Shen Wanning said.
The disappearance of the white sturgeon yesterday might not cause panic, but it would be difficult for her to hide the disappearance of so many sturgeons.
These days she drove a carriage to pick it up herself and sent it directly back to China in the carriage so that no one would see it.
Shen Wanning drove a horse-drawn carriage to the dock and sent the freshly caught white sturgeon back to China.
The next day, when Shen Wanning went there again, she was stopped by a man.
"Miss, I heard that you are collecting white sturgeons. Take a look at the white sturgeons I have. They are bigger than the ones owned by old man Qi. Mine only costs two taels of silver." The man said with a smile.
Shen Wanning shook her head. "I don't want any. I only want Old Man Qi's. Besides, I've already paid for it. We agreed to only buy twenty pieces, so I only want twenty pieces. I don't want yours."
It seems that this person noticed Old Man Qi's actions and thought that she was an easy woman to bully and would definitely accept these white sturgeons, so he blocked her way.
"Hey, miss, don't be so rigid! Whose fish is not a fish? Don't you think so?"
"I don't want it. If you want to sell it, sell it to someone else! I said I'll only buy Old Man Qi's, only Old Man Qi's." Shen Wanning said with a cold face.
"I have already caught the fish. You have to take it today whether you want it or not!" The man's face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.
"What? Are you trying to force me to buy it?" Shen Wanning asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Hmph, so what if I force you to buy it? No one wants this fish except you. If you don't want it, then all my efforts will be in vain! You must buy them all today." The man threatened.
Old Man Qi happened to be walking over with a load of fish on his shoulder. Seeing this, he put down the burden on his shoulders and said, "Yang Peng, you are so shameless! You actually bullied a little girl!"
"So what if I'm shameless? Do you have the guts to hit me?" Yang Peng stretched out his face, looking like he deserved a beating.
"Hit you? I allowed it. Uncle Qi, you heard it, he told me to hit him. And everyone heard it, this guy said it himself! Uncle Qi, please take my token to the county government office. Ask the county magistrate to come here." Shen Wanning didn't care, took out the token from his sleeve and threw it to old man Qi.
Old Man Qi was stunned, but his years of life experience told him that Shen Wanning's identity was definitely not simple.
"Qi, who do you think you are? You ask our county magistrate to come, and he will come?" The man didn't believe it. He wanted to see what tricks Shen Wanning was playing.
Many people came over to watch, pointing and talking at them. These people really loved to watch the fun.
"It's okay, I will satisfy your special hobby." Shen Wanning smiled meaningfully.
With so many people here, she wouldn't easily use the high-tech equipment in the express station. But she wouldn't be stupid enough to confront this man head-on either, so she decided to wait for the county magistrate to arrive.
Old Man Qi called the county magistrate as quickly as possible. As soon as the county magistrate saw the sign in his hand, he immediately knew Shen Wanning's identity.
He hurried over with a team of yamen runners. When he saw Shen Wanning, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to the Princess of Jingu."
"Get up! How did this princess hear that there was forced buying and selling in your Shayang County? And it was even forced on this princess?" Shen Wanning asked with her hands behind her back.
The man, as the county magistrate was saluting, suddenly turned pale with fear, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, saying, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again."
