  Chapter 68 Rise! Salted fish elders    ……

A little calculation will make it clear that Zhuwei Lake is not a big lake, but it has an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres of water. An average dredging of one meter is six to seven million cubic meters of silt...

Wang Shouzhe has seen this world’s dredging ship.

The dredging rake is used manually to dig the silt onto the ship. A dredging ship can hold about ten cubic meters of silt.

The silt that is usually cleaned up has good organic matter in itself. After being mixed with other fertilizers and fermented, it is a good fertilizer that can supplement the fertility of the farmland.

After all, there is no accumulation of heavy metal pollution in the silt at the bottom of rivers and lakes in this era.

But the problem is, six or seven million cubic meters, that is six or seven hundred thousand ships! If ten dredging ships work all year round, and every day is calculated by cleaning three ships and filling three ships, it is almost 20,000 days of work, and it will take sixty to seventy years to do it all year round!    The silt shrinks greatly after it dries. The marshland itself is mostly sludge. It is estimated that at most two or three thousand acres of good farmland can be filled. The entire project is expected to cost tens of thousands of Qian gold.

After spending a lot of manpower, material resources, energy and time, it is a bit uneconomical to open up one acre of land only when three or four Qian gold are combined.

If Zhuwei Lake is cleared to a depth of two meters, the cost will multiply more. The more you dig down, the harder it will be to clear it. Even if you buy a good farmland, you can buy one acre of cultivated land with two or three Qian gold.

However, the account is not so simple to calculate. With the large-scale dredging of Zhuwei Lake, large fish can be raised after the increase in water storage, and even spirit fish can be placed. From the long-term consideration of clan, fishing in the wild alone is not a long-term solution, and the source of income is not stable.

If economic fish species can be farmed on a large scale, or even spirit fish species, this is the correct way to open the basic industry of clan. The scale of investment is huge and it takes a long time, but once it is successfully constructed, it will be the source of clan's continuous financial resources.

Moreover, in order to encourage the profound warrior aristocratic family to open up wasteland, the newly opened up land will be free of pay grain for the first ten years. This is another big saving.

Of course, with Wang Shouzhe's personality, even if this vast project of dredging and filling soil to build land is to be done, it is impossible to do it in 60 or 70 years. At that time, even the great-grandson will come out...

This project was originally in his mind and has been brewing for a long time.

I originally wanted to start small-scale implementation next year, and then gradually increase the scale of the project, and strive to dig Zhuwei Lake two meters deep within ten years, fill the marsh with four to five thousand acres of good farmland, and gradually build it into Clan’s next large farm has 10,000 acres of aquaculture waters and thousands of acres of good farmland.

The output value in one year is definitely not low, and the total cost should be controlled within 30,000 Qian gold.

But now, the plan has changed a bit!

Standing on the awning boat, Wang Shouzhe hands behind back, watching the wilderness on both sides of the bank. Quite a pair of overlooking the territory, brewing the posture of clan's thousand-year foundation.

shou character Old Seventh, Wang Shouye sits in the cabin, and his uneasy heart gradually calms down. Seeing the fourth brother standing with his hands holding hands, he is so tall and majestic, and I admire him in his heart. The emotion of admiration arose spontaneously.

Me, Wang Shouye.

In the future, must become a man who can support both heaven and earth just like the fourth brother.

……

The awning boat docked on the small wharf of [Prosperous Village]. Under the fearful leadership of Wang Clan’s collateral leader, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye went all the way Wang Xiaohan was found.

At this time, Wang Xiaohan is taking care of the twenty acres of precious spirit field, cautiously removing the weeds in the spirit field. Those weeds are pulled out just after they sprout to prevent them from having extra opportunities to absorb nutrients and spirit qi.

The same acre of spirit field, if it is intensively cultivated, even if it yields a half-percent, it is a large resource.

Wang Shouzhe didn't bother him, but waited patiently.

This [Prosperous Village] is the second farm opened by Old Ancestor Zhouxuan. Sitting on two thousand acres of good farmland, there is also a small livestock farm, and a small piece of farmland dedicated to growing fruits and vegetables. In addition, the most important thing is that Prosperous Village has opened up 20 acres of spirit field.

The terrain here is surrounded by a small branch lineage in the remaining veins of Liuping Mountain. There are a lot of broken rocks in the original land, which in theory is not a very suitable land for reclamation.

However, Old Ancestor Zhouxuan chose to open up wasteland here, and did not hesitate to dig through rivers and ditches to attract water, but also to open up farms. It is because there is a spirit spring at the crisscross of the mountain stream.

If there is a spirit spring, it means that there is a small spirit vein here.

As long as the Spirit Gathering Array is built around the spirit vein, the spirit qi in the spirit vein can be condensed but not scattered, and gathered and moisturized in the land. Then the spirit spring is used to irrigate the land, and various agronomic methods are used. Fertilizing the land will gradually open up a spirit field suitable for planting various spiritual objects.

With oneself’s spirit field, oneself’s spirit rice will be produced, and a Black Tortoise clan will truly have oneself foundation.

Therefore, Old Ancestor Zhouxuan named this farm 【Prosperous Village】, which means that clan will flourish.

The spirit spring and the small spirit vein can support 60 acres of spirit field to the maximum extent. It's just that Wang Clan clan was unfamiliar with the technology of planting spirit rice, in order to avoid consuming the spirit vein in vain. Therefore, only one Spirit Gathering Array has been built for the time being, and 20 acres of spirit field have been opened up.

I wanted to open up the other 40 acres of spirit field after the Wang Clan planting spirit rice technology became more mature. But I didn't want to. Before the plan could be implemented, Wang Clan suffered a catastrophe.

Afterwards, clan people were alarmed and resources were scarce.

Investing in a spirit field is also a large investment and slow return project. I was thinking of cultivating a Spirit Platform Old Ancestor first, and then slowly saving money to open up the spirit field, and accumulating clans.

But I don’t want to. Clan first wife's eldest son Second Uncle Wang Dingtian, who was the first training object, is not sure if it was because he experienced a huge disaster when he was five years old and caused psychological trauma, or because of the latter Clan's elders are pressing too hard, or he is oneself too anxious, and even cultivation deviation breathe one's last at the age of twenty.

You should know that Wang Clan’s "Profound Origin Art" has always been known for being Zhongzheng and peaceful. Even from the Longzuo Wang Clan a thousand years ago, there are very few cultivation cultivation deviations.

Clan was sorrowful and focused on Wang Clan orthodox second son Wang Dingyue and Old Sixth Wang Xiaohan. The elders who learned their lesson did not put too much pressure on Wang Dingyue, but were nurtured in an orderly manner.

More pressure, in fact, focused on Wang Xiaohan, the talent's extraordinary straight pulse. It was only late when he was allowed to take the road of Spirit Platform. It was not until nearly 20 years ago that Wang Xiaohan swallowed Clan secretly and sold a lot of properties in exchange for the [Heavenly Spirit Pill].

Promotion failed!

Then, Wang Dingyue died again in the Outer Territory.

This matter of speaking of which is also strange. Originally, Wang Shouzhe thought that clan was really exhausted and could not buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill for Wang Dingyue. However, Wang Shouzhe has recently thought about it, and there is still something vaguely wrong.

Old Ancestor Longyan can sell his portable spirit treasure 【Turtle Scaled Precious Shield】for Wang Shouzhe to raise resources. Why didn't he buy it for his father Wang Dingyue?

In addition, after the death of Family Head, Old Ancestor Longyan didn't even show his face. Are you afraid of being seen something wrong? There is a greater probability, and she has made a strong move during this period.

If Old Ancestor did it, who did it do it with? Could it be that it was not the father Wang Dingyue who went to the Outer Territory alone, but was accompanied by Old Ancestor?

If the speculation is in line with the actual situation, why did Old Ancestor and his father Wang Dingyue go to the Outer Territory at such a critical moment? Is it really just like publicity, because it is necessary to raise resources to seek opportunities?

It must not be.

Wang Shouzhe has reason to believe that Old Ancestor and Clan Elder have a big secret hidden from him. And that secret should be very important to Wang Clan! Maybe, Outer Territory also has a chance to be promoted to Spirit Platform Realm, but it's just because the late father Wang Dingyue failed?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it should be the case, otherwise Old Ancestor Longyan would inevitably choose to sell Turtle Scaled Precious Shield and exchange for the Heavenly Spirit Pill for his father Wang Dingyue. Rather than Shuangshuang risking to go to Outer Territory together to find some breaking opportunity.

If you have a chance, see if you can pry out some news from Old Ancestor.

Just between Wang Shouzhe's thoughts, Sixth Elderly Gentleman finished processing the weeds and walked out of the forest and field. After seeing Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye waiting outside, he stretched his brows and smiled: " Shouzhe, why are you here? Wait a long time, why don't you call me earlier?"

Although Wang Shouzhe can't see through his cultivation base, he can feel the depression in his mental state. . Obviously, he has not yet come out of the failure of spending a huge amount of money to impact Spirit Platform Realm. He is only sixty-five years old, but he feels older than Fourth Elderly Gentleman Wang Xiaozhi, like a real old farmer.

"Sixth Grandfather is good." Wang Shouzhe cups the hands.

"Grandfather." Wang Shouye pounced on it.

"Oh, you little Maotou, how come you come to see Grandfather with your fourth brother?" Wang Xiaohan picked up Wang Shouye, and after teasing a few words, let the sidemaster take him to play.

Then, Wang Xiaohan invited Wang Shouzhe to drink a cup of ordinary tea in front of his reclusive little grassy cottage: "Shouzhe is here now, can I still persuade me to go back to the Spirit Platform?" "

Previously, Wang Shouzhe had sent Family Guard to send [Essence Cultivation Pill] and spirit stone, and wrote to him to talk about the plan. However, Wang Xiaohan rejected the matter, saying that his ambition was old and he only wanted to form a house in front of the spirit field and protect his life.

Wang Shouzhe doesn't blame him for this salted fish mentality.

He took a sip of Fancha, looked around, took a look at his simple cottage, laughed and said, "No, Shouzhe just came to talk to Sixth Grandfather, and finally take a look at Old Ancestor Zhouxuan. His spirit field. After all, Shouzhe is just a dying person."

"What?"

Wang Xiaohan nearly squeezed the cup, surprised and angry, and said, "Wang Shouzhe , What are you talking about nonsense?"

An astonishing breath erupted from him.
