Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 47 Carp Essence

The koi, which was still muddle-headed all its life and only knew to eat and instinctively avoid natural enemies, suddenly stopped and swam in the lake.

After a while, his eyes slowly moved.

Before it could figure out why it had suddenly opened its spiritual wisdom, a majestic voice came to its mind, letting the koi understand the cause and effect that only let it know, and at the same time, an orthodox cultivation method and some memories of Taoism also came to it. it's in the head.

After a long time, the koi said, "Please don't worry, Shangxian, Xiaoyu will definitely help the man of destiny."

"It's good that you understand. When the day of success is achieved, let alone ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop, you can turn a carp into a dragon without quantifying merit."

"Thank you, Shangxian, thank you, Shangxian."

The koi kept swimming happily in the Kunming Lake in Kyoto, which not only stirred up waves on the entire lake, but even the sky gradually darkened, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Zhao Gongcao nodded in satisfaction with his spiritual sense. It seems that the koi he chose has good aptitude.

Although the art of calling the wind and calling the rain was formed because of his own help.

But to be able to experience the magical powers of the aquarium so quickly, the potential is still not small.

Remind the koi to do good deeds and not to kill evil, and the spiritual consciousness will return to the heaven.

After a while, the originally gloomy sky soon became clear again.

The koi also seemed a little sluggish because of the loss of the borrowed strength.

However, it didn't take long for it to be happy again. With the skills, one day it will be able to cultivate to the point of calling the wind and the rain.

Afterwards, the koi thought about how to find the Man of Destiny.

And Zhao Gongcao's move also gave Shi Zhongkui a reason to explain why he could recall the memory of his previous life.

The Tonghui River of the Great Zhou continued the former Dachen Dynasty, and the Dachen Dynasty also continued the Yuan Dynasty.

It has been used and repaired for more than 200 years. Although it has changed slightly, it is generally similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the official history.

The size of the koi is only 2 or 3 catties, and it is easy to hide in the river, although it took a lot of effort to pass through the various sluices.

But in the end, it passed the Xizhimen Water Pass, Jishuitan Wharf, Wanning Bridge, Beiheyan, Nanheyan, and finally arrived at Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou.

But running here is actually overrunning.

With the first experience, it will be much easier to swim back for a while and follow the canal into the ditch dug by Shan Guogong's mansion and Yang's family together.

By the time it reached the ditch near the test field, it was already late at night on the second day.
-
The time went back to the morning of the day before.

The ten-acre land only occupies half an acre for digging fishing ditches, and more fish fry have already hidden in the rice fields that have been transplanted.

However, because the rootless weeds were all scattered in the fishing ditch, it didn't take long for many fry to swim around in groups and start pecking under the watchful eyes of Gao Yongmin and others.

Several veterans in agriculture, fishing and hunting who accompanied the Ministry of Industry on this trip nodded after watching it for a while.

A group of people heard from these people that the fry have adapted to the water quality here. In the future, as long as there is no shortage of food and water and no disease, it should be no problem to grow to 3 or 5 taels in four or five months.

Even some fast-eating fish can grow to 7 or 8 taels.

In ancient times, 8 taels was half a catty, and a big one catty was 593 grams, which is actually not much different from the modern six taels.

PS: For better understanding, modern units of measurement will be used in the future.

Put down 10 to 500 fish, even if only 10% of them survive, there will be one to two thousand fish, which can be sold for [-] taels of silver.

After careful calculation, I found that fish farming is not much worse than farming.

The minds of the people present couldn't help but become active.

When Gao Yongmin and the others were happy, they were invited by Yu Honggao and Shi Guangzhu on the grounds that the sky was approaching noon.

There was also Yang Wenqin, who had a conflict with the Duke of Shanguo some time ago, and Yang Wenqin, who was in charge of the seventh grade of the Ministry of Rites, went to the farm together as a guest.
-
There were too many people, and in the end, the tables, chairs and stools had to be moved to the yard, and only thirty or so officials, squires and their nephews and nephews were allowed to sit down.

Fortunately, the weather is clear today, even though there is sun, it doesn’t look too hot. Everyone drinks tea and chats together, and the atmosphere is not bad.

Although Shi Zhongkui was the focus of everyone's attention, unless someone asked him, he stood behind Yu Honggao like a log.

And everyone probably thought that it was only the beginning of May, not too late, and wanted to experiment on their own ten-acre or eight-acre farmland.

Anyway, there is no shortage of farmland. Even if rice has been planted, it is nothing more than wasting three to five acres of land and spending some manpower.

With this in mind, the topic will inevitably shift to rice paddy farming again.

In addition to talking about how to dig fish ditches, how to take care of them and manage them this time, Shi Zhongkui focused on risks.

Even, tell Gao Yongmin directly that it is best to experiment for three to five years, and then compile it into a book and publish it all over the world after gaining experience, which is the safest way.

Everyone saw that he was clear and organized, and he didn't hide anything, answering every question.

While being grateful in their hearts, dozens of squires felt that even if they did it themselves, they would definitely be able to raise the fish well.

But after hearing the risks, he couldn't help hesitating.

Then he strongly praised Shi Zhongkui's practice of experimenting for three to five years first.

It is said that he is a mature and prudent way of treating the villagers well.

As for whether someone is thinking about taking the opportunity to get it out earlier, when the food price is stable and there are not many fish in the rice fields, it is unknown to make more money.

After everyone was satisfied, the next topic was taken as a matter of course on articles and poems. Shi Zhongkui was also asked by someone, and he opened his mouth and hit the point.

Although it seemed a little too cautious, the people present were either officials and former officials who had retired, or landlords who could not study but had studied for more than 20 years.

On the contrary, I prefer a stable person like him.

Seeing that so many squires and officials praised Shi Zhongkui, and that he himself was a pedantic and conservative person, Jia Zheng was even more satisfied with him.

I can't help spying on my daughter, Jia Tanchun, who is only 11 years old. Among the younger generations of women in the family, after counting and counting, only 15-year-old Yingchun and 14-year-old Baochai are of the right age.

He couldn't help looking at Jia Lian who was beside him, and felt for the first time that Lian Er really had eyes.

It's a pity since Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Baoyu came to hint at the last time.

Shi Zhongkui pushed the issue of marriage to his teacher and his wife, and then he didn't say anything, and the Shan Guogong's mansion repeatedly evaded it.

It's clear that even the Yu family and Shan Guogong's mansion are also interested in Shi Zhongkui, and they don't want to take advantage of outsiders.

Moreover, because Shi Zhongkui had achieved a small degree of cultivation, in just ten days, he was even more handsome than when Jia Lian and the others met.

Seeing him for the first time, Jia Zheng suddenly felt that Shi Zhongkui was three points better than Lin Daiyu's biological father, Lin Ruhai.

Can't help but start to hesitate, whether to wait for Shi Zhongkui's high school day to catch his son-in-law at the bottom of the list.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng is not a decisive person. When he was hesitating, someone suddenly said with a smile, "Brother Rusong, your disciple is not like you, on the contrary, he is very similar to Mr. Pang Shitong."
