The koi carp, which was originally in a state of confusion and only knew how to eat and avoid natural enemies in its life, suddenly stopped swimming in the lake.

After a while, his eyes slowly became more alert.

Before it could figure out why it suddenly opened its spiritual wisdom, a majestic voice came to its mind, letting the koi understand the causes and consequences that only it knew. At the same time, an authentic Xuanmen cultivation method and some memories were also transmitted to it.

It's in the mind.

After a long time, the koi fish mouthed human words, "Please rest assured, Lord, Xiaoyu will definitely assist the destined person."

"As long as you understand, on the day of success, not only will you ascend to heaven in one fell swoop, your merits will also be immeasurable."

"Thank you, God. Thank you, God."

The koi fish were happily swimming in Kunming Lake in Kyoto. Not only did the entire lake start to ripple, but the sky gradually turned dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

Zhao Gongcao's spiritual sense nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the koi he chose had good qualifications.

Although the art of calling wind and rain was only formed with the help of oneself.

But to be able to realize the magical power of the water tribe so quickly, the potential is not small.

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

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

The koi also looked a little sluggish because it lost the borrowed power.

However, it became happy again after a while. With the skills, one day it would be able to practice to the point where it can control wind and rain.

Afterwards, Koi thought about how to find his destined person.

Zhao Gongcao's move also gave Shi Zhongkui a reason to explain why he could recall his past life memories.

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

After more than two hundred years of use and repair, although it has changed slightly, it is generally still similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in official history.

The koi is only about 2 or 3 pounds in size. It is easy to hide in the river, although it takes a lot of effort to pass through the various sluices.

But in the end, we passed Xizhimen Shuiguan, Jishuitan Pier, Wanning Bridge, Beiheyan, Nanheyan, and finally arrived at Zhangjiawan Pier in Tongzhou.

But by running here, I have actually gone too far.

After the first experience, it will be much easier to travel back a little way and follow the canal into the ditch dug by the Duke of Guo and the Yang family.

By the time it reached the ditch near the experimental field, it was already late at night on the second day.

------

Time goes back to the morning one day ago.

Only half of the ten acres of land was used to dig fishing ditches, and more fish fry had already hid in the rice fields where rice seedlings had been planted.

However, because the rootless duckweed was scattered all over the fishing ditch, many fry soon swam around in groups and began to eat under the watchful eyes of Gao Yongmin and others.

Several veterans of agriculture, fishing and hunting who came with the Ministry of Industry looked at it for a moment and then nodded.

The group heard from these people that the fry have adapted to the water quality here. As long as there is no shortage of food and water and they don't get sick, there should be no problem in growing to 3 or 5 taels in four or five months.

Even some fish that eat quickly can grow to 7 or 8 taels without any problem.

In ancient times, eight taels was half a catty, and one pound was 593 grams. In fact, it was not much different from the modern six taels.

ps: For better understanding, we will use modern measurement units from now on.

If ten or twenty thousand fish are put down, even if only 10% survive, there will still be one or two thousand fish. Counting only 500 and a half catties of small fish, they can still be sold for ten taels of silver.

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

The minds of those present couldn't help but become excited.

Gao Yongmin and others were delighted and were invited by Yu Honggao and Shi Guangzhu on the grounds that it was already approaching noon. They only said a few words of modesty, along with more than thirty squires.

There was also Yang Wenqin, the minister of the seventh rank of the Ministry of Rites, who had a conflict with the family of Tuiguo some time ago, and they all went to the farm together as guests.

----

There were so many people that in the end we had to move tables, chairs and stools into the courtyard to allow more than thirty officials, squires and their nephews and nephews to sit down.

Fortunately, the weather is crisp and clear today. Even though the sun is shining, it is not too hot. We all drink tea and chat together, and the atmosphere is good.

Although Shi Zhongkui is the focus of everyone's attention, unless someone asks, he will just stand behind Yu Honggao like a piece of wood.

And everyone probably still wants to take advantage of the fact that it is only early May and it is not too late to try it out on ten or eight acres of farmland at home.

Anyway, there is no shortage of farmland for everyone. Even if rice has been planted, it is just a waste of three to five acres of land and some manpower.

With this idea in mind, the topic inevitably shifted to fish farming in rice fields again.

This time, Shi Zhongkui not only talked about how to dig fish trenches and how to care for and manage them, but also focused on risks.

He even told Gao Yongmin directly that it would be prudent to test it for three or five years, and then compile it into a book and publish it to the world after gaining experience.

When everyone saw that he was very organized, he did not hide anything and answered all questions.

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

But after hearing about the risks, I couldn't help but hesitate.

Then he highly praised Shi Zhongkui's approach of testing for three or five years.

He said this was a mature and prudent way to treat the villagers well.

As for whether some people are thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to do it early, so that when the food price is stable and there are not many fish in the rice fields, they can make more money, it is not known.

After everyone was satisfied, the next topic was naturally about articles and poems. Shi Zhongkui was also asked, and he came right away and got to the point.

Although it seemed a little too cautious, the people present were either officials and retired former officials, or landlords who were not good at reading but had studied for ten or twenty years.

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

When Jia Zheng saw so many squires and officials praising Shi Zhongkui, and because he himself was a pedantic and conservative person, he felt even more satisfied with him.

I couldn't help but secretly find out that my daughter Jia Tanchun was only 11 years old. Among the younger female relatives in the family, after counting, only 15-year-old Yingchun and 14-year-old Baochai were the right ones.

He couldn't help but look at Jia Lian beside him, and for the first time he felt that Lian Er did have a discerning eye.

It's a pity that since the last time Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Baoyu came to give hints.

Shi Zhongkui pushed the issue of marriage to his teacher and his wife, and then he didn't say anything, and the Duke of Tuiguo's government even tried to shirk the issue.

It is clear that even the Yu family and Duke Tui's government are interested in Shi Zhongkui and are not willing to take advantage of outsiders.

Moreover, because of his small achievements in cultivation, Shi Zhongkui became more handsome and charming in just ten days than when Jia Lian and others met.

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

I couldn't help but start to hesitate, whether I should wait for Shi Zhongkui's high school day and catch his son-in-law under the rankings.
