Chapter 12 Destruction
On the 29th day of the 29th day of the New Year, one day before New Year's Eve, Li Li finished his housework and took his big yellow dog to his own fish pond (fish pond) next to the village, and stood next to the small thatched hut by the pond.
This is a thatched hut built for the people guarding the pond. When Li Li had not served in the official service before, he lived in this small thatched hut with a big yellow dog at night.
Later, because he wanted to replace his second brother in office, his family hired villagers from the same village to help see the fish pond.
Here, not only the fish ponds of Li Li’s family, but also the fish ponds of other villagers are distributed beside them. Looking up, there is a rippling blue wave.
Li Li looked at the blue waves in front of him, and then at the river not far away, thinking about how to go next.
There is no doubt that making money is the primary task. If you don’t have money, don’t think about anything. For example, if he wants to be exempted from jail, he has to earn enough money for jail. This is a "support".
Only after paying money and exempting from labor can Li Li have plenty of time to do his own things and find ways to make more money.
As he thought about it, Li Li was a little confused. He still couldn't remember it at the moment. What was the name of the chaos that led to the decline of Liang State and the old emperor's failure to die a good death?
I don’t know the exact time of the incident, that is, I cannot determine how many years the peaceful days of Liang State will last from now on.
But he remembers a ranking.
In history, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, ranked second, and seemed to have lived in his eighties.
Now, Li Li heard from Liu Decai that Zi was about 77 years old today.
In other words, there are about five or six years of peace in Liang State.
In five or six years, Li Li must be prepared to live in troubled times by himself and his family.
So, first you have to make money, make a lot of money, and then you have to find a backer and seek shelter.
Since ancient times, if you want to live a good life, you must have a backer.
But in the end, I have to rely on myself, because in a few years, the Liang Kingdom will perish. At that time, the powerful and powerful people from all over the world will not be able to protect themselves, so how can they protect their family?
Therefore, only by becoming stronger is the most reliable one. Then, the safest way is to find a way to make a fortune.
As the saying goes, "Money can make the devil push the mill." With money in your hands, you can make connections, buy grain, buy land, and recruit people. This is the safest way to protect yourself.
Now, there is only a ready-made way to get rich, that is, raise fish.
The fish farming industry has existed since ancient times. In this life, there are fish ponds, so there are ready-made "production tools".
The reason why raising fish can make money is nothing more than the question of how much you make, which depends on the scale of breeding and sales methods, as well as cost control.
His family has a ready-made fish pond, so because it is close to Pokou, there is no need to worry about selling fish.
There are three fish ponds in the Li family, one large and two small, with irregular shapes and a circle of fences around them.
Among the three fish ponds, one large and one small are used to raise fish, and a small fish pond is left to temporarily raise fish caught.
The area of a large fish pond is about eight acres, and the average area of a small fish pond is about four acres, so the area of a fish pond in the Li family is about sixteen acres. Among families with fish ponds in the village, it is only at the average level.
The weights and measures of this era are definitely different from those of later generations. Li Li looked around for a moment and initially judged that the "mu" of Liang State was smaller than the "mu" in later generations.
The three fish ponds were the income from his father's proper repair after using the terrain to lure river water into the depression. With the income from raising fish in this fish pond, he added more than enough to support the household income and he could save some savings every year.
However, the threshold for raising fish is low. As long as there is a fish pond, you can raise some fish more or less. Taking Baishi Village as an example, there are many people raising fish, and the result of everyone's competition is "loss together".
Just like many fish farmers in this era, Li Li's fish pond raises carp, and it is precisely because everyone raises carp that the price of carp cannot be increased for a long time.
Some people also catch other fish and keep them temporarily in the fish pond and then sell them after a period of time.
But Pengli Lake itself is a fishing area, so the fish raised cannot be sold at a price, and the risk of breeding is not low.
Li Li frowned as he thought about it.
In that life, he knew how to fish, so he learned Luya fishing and other techniques;
He also came into contact with fish farming, and he planned to make a fortune by breeding and pay off his debts.
Therefore, he knew that the Four Great Fish could be confined, and in this era, the main force of the breeding industry was carp. The saying of the Four Great Fish would not appear until the Tang Dynasty banned fishing and eating carp.
Then, if you raise four big fish in condom, you will have a high chance of getting rich, but the risk of breeding will not be reduced in the slightest.
Aquaculture in later generations was "escorted" with advanced technology, such as oxygenation machines, water pumps, dissolved oxygen meters, and equipment for measuring pH, ammonia nitrogen, and nitrites, which monitor the water quality of fish ponds at any time.
There are also various feeds that promote growth and various drugs to cure diseases.
But even so, farmers often encounter accidents in fish ponds, kill fish, lose money, and even lose all their money.
There is a saying that goes: wealth is huge, but fur doesn't count. This means that the breeding industry is very risky, and herds of cattle and sheep seem to be worth a lot of money, but just one plague will die, and it is worthless.
The same is true for fish farming. The risk of the breeding industry is high. When there is a stir, a well-off family will instantly return to poverty.
The conditions in ancient times were not as good as modern times. Once something went wrong during the breeding process, the fish in the entire pond might have to turn their stomachs.
In this era, fish farming will take at least one year to grow to the size of the sale, and it will take 365 days a year. As long as there is an accident, the fish pond will not be harvested.
If you invest a lot in the early stage, you will not only lose all your money after an accident, but you may also owe debts.
Because the various costs during the breeding process sometimes have to be borne by borrowing money, and only after the fish is sold can you get money to pay off the debt.
But even if everything goes well, how much money can you make after raising fish for three or five years?
Li Li looked at his own fish pond and then at other nearby fish ponds, and gradually became fascinated.
Farming, eating when raising fish, and raising fish, is also eating when raising fish. Now he has a poor family background and poor risk resistance. If he is in a hurry to have a dream of making money by raising fish, it will easily be shattered.
"Carp, carp..."
Li Li murmured, and suddenly came up with an idea.
If life is compared to a game and cheats are used, the difficulty of the game can be greatly reduced.
Li Li felt that the idea he had come up with was definitely a plug-in, and it was a super plug-in. With his current conditions, it was easy to achieve.
"Go away."
Li Li shouted, and the big yellow dog seemed to understand and followed Li Li to the village.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew, and he tightened his clothes. Thinking of the 'hang', he didn't feel cold at all, but felt hot all over his body, and he was very happy:
The game is difficult? It doesn’t matter, it’s a cheat.
It's just a while and make some preparations.
When the time is right, I will cheat.
The plug-in name, in English, is a classic sentence: show me the money
......
At night, the snowflakes as thin as willow catkins outside the room kept dancing. Inside the room, Li Li was lying on the bed, thinking about "cheating". On the ground next to him, the big yellow dog was curled up by the brazier and sleeping.
There are several rooms in the Li family courtyard, one in Wu, one in Lin and his son Li Xin, and one in Li Li and Dog.
This is not to say that Li Li's status is like a dog, but because the big yellow dog is the most familiar with him and is also the helper at home, he is so he is a companion in Li Li's room.
It will snow in Poyang in winter. At this time, families with poor families will be crowded together to share the quilt to keep warm. However, their family is still well-off, so at least a few people don’t have to share the quilt to share.
Li Li turned over and tightened the patched quilt. Just as he was about to continue sleeping, the big yellow dog curled up by the brazier suddenly sat up.
The big yellow dog roared in a low voice, and at the same time, Li Li heard the barking of dogs outside.
The dog barking became more and more frequent. I guess the dogs in the village heard something.
‘The New Year is coming soon, is it because some thieves come into the village to prepare for New Year’s goods?’
Li Li thought so, got up, put on his clothes, reached out and touched the couch, picked up a wooden stick, quietly pushed the door open a crack, and looked out.
The big yellow dog is quite spiritual, so he crept under Li Li's feet and stretched his head out to look out.
The cold wind leaked in through the crack of the door, causing the flames in the brazier in the room to sway. Li Li saw that the door next door was also slightly opened, and his mother was also looking at it.
Li Li felt that at this time, men should not hide behind women, and even underage should not be used as an excuse to escape.
He went out the door, whispered to his mother, brought the big yellow dog to the yard, and then curled up in the corner of the adobe wall.
The adobe wall is not very high, and adults can turn it in if they move quickly. If someone really flips in, Li Li will fight with the other party.
The barking of dogs in the village became increasingly dense, and there were many shouts of people mixed in between. As Li Li listened, his heart was hanging.
Could it be that there were water bandits attacking? That would be bad!
Pengli Lake is very large, and many fleeing people gathered at the corners and left the government's jurisdiction and lived together for the "Shanhu people" or "Floating Rangers".
Such groups are both people and enemies. Many "Shanhu people" actually "part-time" robbery, occasionally attacking business trips on official roads, or raiding lakeside villages by boat, have always been a public security issue that cannot be ignored.
Of course, the villages along the lake would not sit still and wait for death. The villagers of each village organized themselves to defend their homes, and the government did not sit still and watched the gangs rampant, and organized the roaming army to be responsible for maintaining public order.
The Youjun, as the name suggests, is a wandering army. It was originally an organization in the army and is now often used to maintain public order. Its role is similar to the later "Public Security Joint Defense Brigade".
The head of the You Army is the "Your Army Master". The You Army in the county is led by the You You Army Guard. The You Army will be stationed in some major traffic roads to guard against the thieves.
For example, there are air troops stationed at Pokou south of Baishi Village, and some of its soldiers are always stationed in Baishi Village.
Because of this, Shiraishi Village is relatively safe. Even if there are indeed water bandits attacking, the opponent's first choice must be the area near Pokou where business travelers gather, intercepting passing ships.
Instead of Baishi Village, which only has fishermen, Baishi Village is considered a "small rib".
There is a circle of wooden fences outside Baishi Village, and a hope building is built. If a water bandit attacks, people on night will ring the gongs and drums on the building, and the villagers will gather to resist foreign enemies.
Li Li felt that the drums and drums had not sounded now, but many people were yelling, looking like they were catching thieves, not like they were resisting foreign water bandits.
Since it was a thief, it would be much easier to deal with. Li Li calmed down and held the wooden stick in his hand tightly.
But when the dogs barked fiercely in the yards, it seemed as if someone was running towards this side. Li Li was behind the door, listening to the movement outside, in case someone climbed over the wall, he saw the big yellow dog stopping.
Seeing this, he felt a little moved: There is only one possibility that this situation will happen.
Chapter completed!
