Shi Zhongkui smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I have my own opinion, you can just do your work with peace of mind."

The three village heads who had been humiliated had no chance of refuting him at this time.

He could only lead his people and follow Shi Zhongkui towards the ditch.

In fact, Lao Zhuang and others were right. Of course, small farmers should consider themselves first, but what Shi Zhongkui wanted was not the small profits.

Yu Honggao was not even willing to give up a few thousand taels of silver, let alone the little extra money the farm produced every year.

Both the master and the apprentice are doing it for reputation, and if this spreads out, the final situation will indeed increase production. Not to mention the merit is immeasurable, at least it will be a contribution to the country and the nation.

Not only was Yu Honggao able to be transferred out of Daxing County, his promotion was almost guaranteed.

As for Shi Zhongkui, who has carried it forward, not to mention the actual benefits, it is just that he can feed more people, which is a merit that countless cultivators will never forget.

Empress Nuwa became a saint with her merits. The more merits she has, the smoother her practice will be. Any inner demons or evil things will be dispersed by her own merits before they appear.

It can be said that merit is the best aura of gain for immortal cultivators.

Arriving at the farmland, Shi Zhongkui stood on a high platform with three stacked wooden chairs and watched for a long time before he started drawing with pen and paper.

Just ask Shun'er to lead someone to carry a dustpan filled with plant ash to draw the line, and then let the farmer dig according to the line.

After the bankers actually took action, what Shi Zhongkui never expected was that a bright golden light of merit suddenly appeared on his body protected by the official list while he was staying in the side hall of the Reincarnation Pond in Heaven.

Although the number of merits did not seem to be much, they were frightened and came to inquire. Gong Cao and others who were responsible for guarding the Shengxian Pond and the Reincarnation Pond hurriedly checked it.

After a while, Gong Cao exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

The others also had expressions of disbelief, staring blankly at Shi Zhongkui's body glowing with golden light.

"If I remember correctly, this person has not been in the realm for a long time. How can he obtain such merit so quickly?"

"Sir, this is a good thing," Chen Dianbo complimented, "Sir, you have a keen eye to recognize people. When the person named Shi returns to heaven, please don't forget to lower the official and other talents."

The meritorious officer was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and then ordered everyone, "This matter needs to be kept secret, otherwise there will be too many monks and too little to gain, so don't blame me if you don't get any benefits."

"Don't worry, sir, we will keep the secret strictly."

After making sure that his men knew the stakes of the matter, Gongcao couldn't help but think deeply.

Depending on the situation, someone with the surname Shi may have some background or good luck. Otherwise, based on human time, how could he have performed a great deed of charity within half a year of being on earth, and be recognized by heaven and directly granted merit?

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongcao couldn't help but think about whether he should contact Shi Zhongkui secretly, but he also thought that the way of heaven is selfless and ruthless.

This kind of small action in private may have a counterproductive effect. If the time comes, the credit will not be obtained, but the plan will not work but it will violate the rules of heaven.

Zhao Gongcao couldn't help but regret that Shi Zhongkui didn't tell him his name and origin when he came to earth. When Shi Zhongkui was in trouble, he might burn incense and pray to ask for help.

Wait, just because one company missed out, it doesn’t mean that others don’t have a chance.

Soon, Zhao Gongcao appeared in the Royal Horse Prison, and on the pretext of official business, he asked the Deputy Supervisor of the Royal Horse Prison, Xue Gui, and Dianbo Jia Shan to lead the horse for him, giving a slight hint to Yifan.

Xue Gui and Jia Shan watched Zhao Gongcao riding away, and couldn't help but look at each other thoughtfully.

Neither of them spoke, but their eyes showed that everyone understood what Zhao Gongcao meant.

Secretly thinking to himself, when Shi Zhongkui prays to heaven one day, he must do his best to help.

No, even if you can really help, it's best to go to Zhao Gongcao first and ask for help because you and others are not capable enough.

Shi Zhongkui, who didn't know this yet, had no intention of thinking about it even if he knew it at this time.

Because as soon as the banker excavated, someone in heaven knew that heaven had sent down merits, and at the same time, he himself felt that the space in his soul was like turning on a computer. Not only did the gold coin column suddenly appear, but the number also increased directly from 0 to 10.

When he touched the column of gold coins with his mind, he suddenly realized that these were not gold coins, but the merits were manifested in the form of numbers.

And he finally understood that if he wanted to upgrade his farm or develop pastures and fisheries, he would need to use merit and enough fairy energy.

He just wanted to use his merits to carve out a piece of land measuring 2 by 2 meters on the farm for 10 merits, but as soon as his mind moved, Shi Zhongkui gave up.

One is too expensive, one more and one less makes no difference at all.

Secondly, since the fairy energy released by Wuqu Xingjun into his body can expand the space, there is no need for him to do this with obviously more important merits.

The fairy wine and fairy fruit in the three heavens must have the same effect, otherwise they would not have opened up the farm space by eating some fruits and wine.

And keep the merits with you until the psychic jade in Jia Baoyu's hand recovers its spiritual energy and absorbs it a few more times to upgrade the peach tree that has developed towards spiritual roots.

I believe that even if the Jing Huan Fairy discovered it, she would not dare to actually kill him. After all, having merit added to one's body is equal to the approval of heaven.

Killing such a person with great merits will surely cause a lot of backlash.

Maybe he will be rejected by heaven, suffer from three disasters and five diseases, or die and disappear.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to hundreds of farmers wielding wooden shovels and a dozen farmers digging with shovels.

"When the fish from the rice fields are harvested, I will definitely persuade the government to give each of your families 10 kilograms of fish. If it is not enough, I will buy 10 kilograms of fish for you with my own money, or directly give each of your families ten kilograms of fat meat.

.

Let us all testify together that I will never break my promise."

Hundreds of villagers were immediately stunned. There was not enough food to eat these days, let alone fish and meat.

Even if there are fish in the river, if they are so easy to catch, fishermen who make a living by fishing will not be poorer than farmers.

When they came back to their senses, hundreds of bankers immediately bowed and saluted. Some even knelt down and thanked him directly, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your kindness."

Shi Zhongkui laughed, but continued after a few seconds, "If you want to thank me, thank my family and my mentor Yu. If it weren't for them, no matter how capable I am, I would never come here and know you."

"That's right, that's right. I really should thank my master and my husband for being my mentor."

Uncle Fu and the three housekeepers from Duke Tui's Mansion couldn't help but nod with satisfaction as they thanked each other for free but with a hint of sincerity.

The villagers worked harder because of the improved food and the promise of rewards.
