"Where, where?" Yu Honggao said modestly, but with a satisfied smile on his face, "Bo Qian was just a fluke, and the most important thing for him at this time was the imperial examination.

Since Bo Qian knows that he is not capable enough, why don't you send some officials and people from the Ministry of Works to focus on these ten acres of farmland?"

This time, Gao Yongmin never thought about being modest or worrying about taking credit from others. He not only nodded directly, but also agreed to send 140 soldiers from the Ministry of Industry to garrison.

Although Shi Zhongkui felt regretful and angry, he understood from the beginning that he could not take all the credit.

Not to mention Yu Honggao, Shuntianfu Yamen will definitely get involved in the future.

Rather than becoming the center of the storm in the end, it is better to maintain the reputation of the originator from the beginning and push the trouble out of the way.

And now it seems that once Gao Yongmin's memorial is published, he will definitely fall into the eyes of the current emperor.

In ancient times, scholars who engaged in farming would not only not be laughed at, but would be recognized by scholars.

In the eyes of the ancients, farming, reading and passing down family traditions was the real business, and which official's family was not a landlord?

Increasing food production means helping them make more money.

As for secretly laughing at himself for being a mud-legged person, Shi Zhongkui didn't care at all.

When you discover that rice field fish tastes delicious, it will definitely be praised as it was in certain years in China, and profit is the best way to promote it.

As for the problem of increased grain production leading to low grain prices and hurting farmers, compared with not having enough to eat, we can only say that the harm outweighs the benefits.

Moreover, as long as the imperial court does not act like a whip and require farmers to pay taxes with money, there will be no harm to farmers due to low grain prices.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Paying taxes in silver can at least avoid huge losses during transportation.

The real problem can only be said to be the administration.

-----

I have finished asking all the questions that need to be asked, and of course the only thing left is to release fish fry into the farmland.

The fry prepared half a month ago were not only raised with water from the Tonghui River, but also with turnips and aquatic plants.

After half a month of indoor breeding, a fry has grown to a size of 1 cm, and its survival rate has been greatly enhanced.

The second is to avoid large-scale death of fish fry due to different water quality, and the rootless duckweed can be seen everywhere.

The farm in Guogong Mansion covers an area of ​​5,000 acres. In the rice fields planted as early as mid-April, you can get a lot of turnips just by fishing.

This thing is often used to feed chickens and ducks in rural areas. Now it is just pouring some into the experimental fields every day, and the cost is only physical strength.

There are twenty large wooden water basins, ten of which are fish fry raised by fishermen who specialize in raising ornamental fish for one tael of silver.

The other ten frames were experimented by Shi Zhongkui and Shun'er.

I don’t know exactly how many there are, but it is roughly estimated that there are ten to twenty thousand.

Shi Zhongkui didn't know how much he would survive in the end, and even if the cost was only one tael of silver, it actually made ordinary farmers hesitate.

Fortunately, the average price per acre is only a hundred cents, which is the value of more than ten kilograms of grain, which is not a big deal for a squire.

As more squires are raised and the scale increases, the price will definitely drop again.

But after thinking about it for a few days, he still felt that instead of being controlled by others, it would be better to learn it by himself.

Since people who specialize in raising ornamental fish have long known how to artificially impregnate fish eggs.

Shi Zhongkui wanted to ask, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally didn't say anything. This is a skill of eating, and even if he is forced to do so, he may not say anything.

Sitting in the study and thinking carefully, I suddenly thought of a video I had watched.

To put it bluntly, artificial insemination of fish eggs is worthless. All you need to do is take out the eggs from the female fish's belly and put them in a clean and water-free bowl.

Catch another male fish, massage and squeeze the belly of the male fish, and a milky white liquid will be squeezed out.

Just stir it with your hands for a while, and be sure not to touch the water during this period, because the fish eggs will swell when exposed to water and hinder the chance of pregnancy.

Then pour it into a clean water tank, and finally spread the fish eggs gently with feathers. Wait 4 to 7 days and there will be fry.

Only then did Shuner raise 10 frames of fry.

The sight of 10,000 to 20,000 fish fry falling down was quite spectacular, not to mention that Yu Honggao also asked people to sacrifice three sacrifices to worship Emperor Yan, and then the firecrackers went off, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.

After watching the fry entering the fishing ditch, swimming back and forth and eating the rootless duckweed, everyone immediately felt that this was credible.

At this moment, Shi Zhongkui was stunned on the spot. On the gold coin column in the farm space in his soul, the number column representing merit was beating rapidly.

20, 40, 60, and finally stopped at 110.

Moreover, if he hadn't forcibly suppressed the raging spiritual energy in his body, he would have been able to break through to the third or even fourth level of Qi training on the spot.

In the heavenly court, Zhao Gongcao and others were once again shocked by the merit that emerged from Shi Zhongkui's body, which was ten times greater than before.

"My lord, Dao Ancestor, what is the origin of this person named Shi?"

Chen Dianbo, who was also shocked and full of envy, whispered to Zhao Gongcao, "Sir, why don't you find someone who is willing to go down to the lower world and go down and have a look?"

Zhao Gongcao glared at Chen Dianbo fiercely, thinking of going down to the next level or making a mistake and being demoted.

Otherwise, you can only report it if you find an exception.

Not only do I and others have immortal status, but they also have the status of immortal officials. Even if merit is rare, no one would be stupid enough to go to the lower world just for it.

And if you report it.

Fortunately, if Shangguan has something to do, he will ask him to send someone down to take a look.

Unlucky, the Shangguan directly used the treasure to check, and everything about Shi Zhongkui in the lower realm was known to the Shangguan.

Until then, how can Shi Zhongkui owe him a favor?

If you don’t owe a favor, why should you pay it back with merit?

In fact, he might even be accepted as a disciple by some heavenly master or emperor, and he would have nothing to do with people like them from now on.

"Don't worry, sir. I know the pros and cons."

Chen Dianbo chuckled and whispered in Zhao Gongcao's ear, "I heard that the Royal Horse Supervisor's important treasure, the Pegasus Album, was destroyed. Why not take advantage of this to check whether any Pegasus has secretly descended to earth."

Zhao Gongcao's heart moved.

Then Chen Dianbo smiled and said, "If a heavenly horse really comes down to earth, then Xue Gui and others will have to go down to the world to catch the horse."

He and others are not strong enough, so they came to me and asked for help. This is why I sent someone from the sky to bring a team of people to help.

If there are no Pegasus horses descending to earth, then take the opportunity to check other places to see if there are any immortal birds, beasts, spiritual roots, etc., descending to earth privately."

Hearing this, Zhao Gongcao's eyes lit up, and he knew there must be something going on here without even checking.

And as long as you have a reason, you don't have to send people down to the realm.

As long as it is confirmed that Shi Zhongkui has done meritorious deeds that are beneficial to heaven and humanity in the mortal world.

Not to mention sending an immortal bird, an immortal beast to the lower realm, or a treasure to protect him, it is just to inspire a qualified spiritual being in the mortal world to follow Shi Zhongkui, so that he can also take the opportunity to gain a wave of merit in the future.

Moreover, the prosperity of humanity in the three thousand small worlds is actually a good thing for the entire heaven.

The leader of the Human Religion, the Supreme Saint, and other big figures in the Human Religion might be rewarded with gifts.

Besides, although the heavenly rules are strict, they are not impossible to avoid.
