Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Is there such a good thing?

Aunt Zhao agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

The main reason is that Yingzi is still a virgin. Although she has Aunt Zhong with her and brings An An with her, as time goes by, there will always be those dirty gossips.

Once this woman's reputation is ruined, her life will be over.

Besides, Yingzi still has Guo Wen, and I don't know if that damn boy will come back. If he doesn't come back, it's fine. If he does, Yingzi will have to live with him.

But then again, if Guo Wen is a heartless man and treats Yingzi badly when he comes back, don't blame her for being rude!

On the other side, Zhang Jinzhi was very puzzled: "Master, why did you bring Sister Zhao with you?"

"There are many things in this world that are incomprehensible," Zhou Yu's eyes were somewhat deep. "You've been here for so long, and you haven't discovered anything?"

"Of course I've made some discoveries," Zhang Jinzhi cleared his throat and said, "Although they were both hit by the drought, the people of Tongshu Village don't seem to be shaken.

“Moreover, the villagers are relatively simple and are willing to share the water source with the surrounding villages once they discover it.

"In addition, although crops are grown in Tongshu Village, they are better than those grown in the surrounding villages.

"Although they are often harassed, the villagers are very brave..."

Zhou Yu was a little disappointed and asked, "No more?"

Zhang Jinzhi thought about it carefully and shook his head, "I can't think of anything else for now."

Zhou Yu sighed slightly and whispered, "From discovering the water source in Tongshu Village, to finding wild fruits that can fill our stomachs, to discovering the hidden grain in the former village head's home, to finding grain seeds in the surrounding villages, to finding the stored grain in the mountains, to finding a new water source..."

Zhang Jinzhi's eyes widened slightly, and he said hesitantly: "The Zhao family's shadow is in all of this..."

He looked ashamed, "Please forgive me, Master. It was my fault for being careless."

"Jinzhi," Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "We are not in the capital now, and the person you are dealing with is not a well-read Hanlin.

"They are ordinary people at the bottom of society, but they are also experienced farmers.

“After spending enough time with them, you will realize that treating them as stupid and ignorant is truly stupid and ignorant.

"When it comes to knowing the farming season, how to farm, how to read the weather, and whether wild vegetables are poisonous or not... they are the real experts.

"Jinzhi, do you still remember why you studied so hard in the first place?"

Zhang Jinzhi's face flushed, and his voice was weak: "My Lord, I am ashamed! When I started studying, I had the ideal of benefiting the people.

"But since entering officialdom, I have indeed gradually forgotten my original intention."

"Only by keeping your original aspiration can you achieve your goal," Zhou Yu said earnestly. "It's easy to keep your original aspiration, but it's hard to achieve your goal!"

Zhang Jinzhi felt more and more ashamed.

Zhou Yu's tone softened and he smiled slightly, "However, as the sage said, 'To be able to correct one's mistakes is the greatest virtue.'

"I believe that after walking among the common people, you, Jinzhi, will surely find your original intention."

Zhang Jinzhi bowed deeply, "Thank you for your guidance, Young Master!"

"There's no need to be like this," Zhou Yu extended his hand, "Wasn't I also floating in the clouds back then?

"How have I ever known what 'human suffering' is?

"Without these years of training, I'm afraid I would have lived my life in a muddle."

Soon, the topic returned to the Zhao family. Zhou Yu said, "When I was young, I was also frivolous and did a lot of things to slander monks and Taoism. I have never believed in those things about gods and ghosts.

"But ever since the great changes that have taken place, I've seen so many bizarre things that I can't help but believe it.

"As the saying goes, 'When a man dies, his spirit dies, and when a horse dies, his fat dies.' Even in the imperial examinations, isn't it 70% on ability and 30% on luck?

“Many people who are not qualified for their positions rise to prominence. Isn’t it because of good luck?

"Isn't it just bad luck for someone who is full of knowledge but never gets his talent recognized?

"Now that we have met someone with good fortune, how can we miss it?"

Zhang Jinzhi pondered this for a while, then nodded slowly: "Now that you put it that way, it really is the case."

"So," Zhou Yu tapped his finger on the spread-out map of Qin County, "if their good fortune can help us find a few more water sources, wouldn't that be a great thing?"

Zhang Jinzhi agreed deeply. "That's fine, but the county has a lot of complicated affairs, so you should go back and deal with them. Leave the matters here to me."

"That's not necessary," Zhou Yu shook his head and couldn't help laughing. "I've been feeling very clear-minded lately, and everything I do feels like divine help. I'm so happy I don't want to leave!"

Zhang Jinzhi also laughed and didn't force him: "Then have someone send the documents that need your attention over here?"

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. In fact, he had left someone at the county government office to handle any emergency or major incidents.

After the matter was resolved, Zhou Yuyou handed him a list and said, "I couldn't contact these people before. Please help me contact them in the near future."

Zhang Jinzhi took it and saw that it was from Zhou Yu's former friends in the capital, one of whom was the Ninth Prince. His heart skipped a beat, and he trembled when he spoke again: "Do you know the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince?"

The Ninth Prince was the youngest son of Queen Zhou, two years younger than Zhou Yu. He disappeared in the year of the palace coup and was rumored to have died.

Although the late emperor did not leave a will, according to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the eldest son died, the eldest grandson would succeed to the throne. If there was no eldest grandson, the second son would succeed to the throne. If the second son died early, the eldest son of the second son would succeed to the throne, and so on.

The only legitimate sons born to Queen Zhou, apart from the late crown prince, were the ninth prince.

But the Ninth Prince was still young at the time, while the older princes were already fully grown, and the younger ones had powerful mothers...

Alas, if the late emperor had not suppressed his descendants in that way when he was alive, there would not have been such chaos.

Now the princes are fighting with each other and no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

However, the chaos of the past few years is almost over. The fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the twelfth prince are all dead, and the remaining six have also been ranked.

But no matter what, they were all seriously injured.

If the Ninth Prince were still alive, he could make a call from a higher position and perhaps reap the benefits.

Zhou Yu slowly shook his head and said, "As you know, we have been looking for him, but after all these years, there is no news at all.

“This time it’s just a matter of luck.

“If we can find it, it will be a blessing. If we can’t find it… we can only accept our fate!

"But I hope that whoever inherits the throne in the future will have more compassion for the people of the world."

Uncle Chen Jiu soon learned that the Zhao family had gone out to help find water, so he took the initiative to find Zhou Yu and said to him, "Now that all the work in the village has been done, you have left people to help.

"So the old man thought, since we've already brought the Zhao family, can we pick a few more from the village?"

Note: "If you don't forget your original intention, you will achieve your goal. It's easy to keep your original intention, but it's hard to achieve your goal." This is from the Avatamsaka Sutra.
