After farming, I opened a family tree

Da Qi already had artificial fish farming, but fish farming was not as simple as raising pigs, ducks and geese at home.

Moreover, raising fish is quite energy-consuming, and the survival rate of fish is not as stable as that of ordinary livestock, so not many families raise fish.

Therefore, in the market, the price of fish is much higher than other meats, and this is probably the reason.

The more Shen Tang thought about it, the more he felt that raising fish in rice fields was a feasible method.

If the farmers in Shenjia Village also raised a few fish in their rice fields, it would be a good choice, whether to sell them for money or keep them for themselves as a meat snack.

In his previous life, Shen Tang often watched TV programs, so he naturally knew when was the best time to raise fish in rice fields.

When raising fish in rice fields, small fish can usually be released into the rice fields when the rice seedlings are more than 20 centimeters long.

However, there are some requirements for the fish. Not all fish can be used. Generally, rice fish, grass carp and carp are used.

Raising fish in rice fields can not only produce fish, but also use the fish to eat pests and weeds in the rice fields. The fish turning over the soil, together with their excrement, can also add nutrients to the rice fields and promote decomposition.

Later experiments proved that raising fish in rice fields could increase rice production by at least 10%!

When Shen Tang thought of this, his eyes brightened.

After returning to the village, Shen Tang couldn't wait to find the village head and told him about his plan to raise fish in rice fields.

The village head just frowned slightly and spoke slowly:

"I've never heard of raising fish in rice fields. Won't the fish eat the rice?"

Although the village head is not old, he is an old hand with decades of farming experience.

He was skeptical about the idea that Shen Tang suddenly proposed.

"How about this, I'll gather a few wealthy families in the village to ask first, but this matter still depends on the consent of the blind date."

Shen Tang nodded hurriedly. As long as the head of the village could inform the villagers, this matter would be known to everyone.

In Tangji's workshop, no one understood why work had to stop half an hour early today.

"Fellow villagers, I have something to discuss with you. Of course, whether you are willing to do this or not is up to you individually.

"I know you're all hesitant to try this. Here, I, Shen Tang, and my Tangji Workshop, promise you all that as long as you implement the rice-fish farming plan, no matter how your grain harvest this year is, as long as it doesn't reach the average per-acre yield of previous years, I, Shen Tang, will pay for it!"

After saying this, many people in the workshop discussed it with each other.

"Boss, I want to raise fish!"

"I do too!"

Who wouldn't want such a good thing? If you take good care of yourself, someone will cover you if you don't.

Only a fool would be unwilling!

"Fellow villagers, I will buy the fish fry. You don't need to pay for it now. After the harvest, when the fish have grown up, you can give me the money for the fry."

"If you have an idea, go to Shenli and register. When you register, tell us how many acres of land your family has. No fraud is allowed. If you take the opportunity to covet the fry, you will be kicked out of the workshop and not hired."

With the exception of Wuyi, everyone in Tangji Workshop agreed to the fish farming plan.

The village head also brought news about this matter.

Including the families of Tangji workers and others, there are only a few families in the entire Shenjia Village who are unwilling to do so.

Shen Tang immediately decided to go to the next town to select fish fry tomorrow.

No one in Qingshan Town raises fish, only in the neighboring Qingshui Town do people raise fish.

Qingshan Town and Qingshui Town are two adjacent towns.

The name also comes from its unique geographical location.

The Qingshui River originates from Qingshui Town, bypasses Qingshan Town, and goes straight to Lin'an Prefecture.

Qingshui Town has abundant water resources, and there are small bridges and flowing water almost everywhere.

The Li family is the only fish farmer in Qingshui Town.

This time, Shen Tang specially invited the village head to go along.

After all, almost everyone in Shenjia Village likes to raise fish, so of course she wants someone to witness it.

When Li Yuhu heard that Shen Tang and the others were not here to buy fish but to buy fish fry, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Are you two also going to buy fish fry to raise?"

There are hundreds of acres of farmland in Shenjia Village. One acre of land can raise a hundred fish, which is an incredible number.

Moreover, Shen Tang took into consideration the rice production of Da Qi and specially reduced the number to fifty fish per acre, but the number was still astonishing.

"I'm not happy with Brother Li. We did take this fish back to raise."

I asked on the way here, what should I answer if the other party asked what the fish was used for.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tang said that raising fish in rice fields is a simple and easy thing to do. If she tells others about it and someone is willing to implement it to improve people's livelihood, she will only feel happy.

When the village head heard this, he suddenly felt that Shenjia Village would be of great significance in the future.

How could someone who could say such words be an unknown person?

It’s just a pity that Shen Tang is not a man.

Shen Tang didn't know what the headman was thinking. She just felt that since she had come to this era, if she could use her little light to help the people live a better life, she would do it without reservation.

Moreover, the purpose of the rice field fish farming project itself is to improve the living standards of the people.

Sure enough, when Li Yuhu heard this, he understood.

But raising fish is not an easy task. Back then, almost the entire Li family fortune was lost before he mastered the trick of raising fish.

This was an experience that he had spent a lot of money to gain. Naturally, Li Yuhu was unwilling to speak about it. He only said lightly,

"Brother, raising fish is not an easy task."

Finally, he stopped talking.

After all, even though you're just buying fish fry, you can still make a lot of money.

The fish fry cost ten cents each, and Shen Tang asked for nearly 20,000 fish fry.

Because transporting the fry requires a lot of experience and manpower, Fisherman Li agreed to deliver them to Shenjia Village personally.

With the idea of ​​coming to Shenjia Village to find out what was going on, the first person to deliver the fish was fisherman Li.

Following Shen Tang and the village head, fisherman Li brought thousands of fish fry to Shenjia Village.

However, he looked for a long time and did not find any big pond in Shenjia Village. Not to mention a big pond, there were not even many small ponds.

Sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan brought Jingui and others to the village entrance.

Soon, the villagers came to the village entrance, each bringing a wooden basin.

"As usual with previous recruitment, every household lined up and signed a pledge after receiving the fry."

"Shen Dachuan, one acre of land, fifty tails."

Shen Dan and Jingui were responsible for counting and distributing the fish fry, while Shen Li was responsible for registering them and having the villagers sign their names.

Li Yuhu was surprised to see that the people in Shenjia Village were all well-organized and actually listened to the words of the little girls.

He was surprised to find that the farmers could be so polite.

"Brother, are you distributing this fry to the blind date people in the village?"

Li Yuhu was really confused, so he patted the village head standing next to him and asked.

"Yes, we will distribute these fish fry to the villagers. They can take them home and raise them in their own rice fields."
