All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Speaking of the world of the Nine Gates, Zhou Yongcheng came in and took a look. In the past ten years or so, Zhang Qishan and others have grown their cultivation quite rapidly, reaching the Golden Core realm. To achieve this level of cultivation, they have eliminated a lot of evil spirits.

After years of hard work, the Dragon Kingdom has been re-established, and the organizations run by Zhong Yi and Er Yuehong have become official organizations. Zhang Qishan is a top leader, and Xie Jiuye is a business tycoon.

They also discovered the ultimate truth of this world, and as for the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, they eliminated him using magic.

Thanks to their efforts, the world has become much clearer, but there are still many large tombs waiting for them to discover and excavate.

Zhou Yongcheng didn't dare go into the Journey to the West world, fearing that he would encounter Guanyin as soon as he entered, and be instantly killed by her before he could escape, which wouldn't be worth it.

In the cultivation world, Zhou Yongcheng went to see Zhang Sanfeng. He had already moved Wudang away from its original location and chosen a place with spiritual veins as the sect's headquarters.

Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation speed is also very fast; he has already reached the Integration Realm.

In the world of cultivation, Zhou Yongcheng was most interested in the Land of Fallen Gods, but it had not yet been opened and would take many more years.

The rest of the world hasn't paid much attention to it.

Before they knew it, it was December again. Zhou Yongcheng handed over the arrangements for the research center to Wu Longjiang, who didn't care. He then took Lü Su back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Their village has changed dramatically today, especially in the second half of the year. One or two families have become quite wealthy. Their houses have been renovated, their cars have been bought again, and those who hadn't found wives have found wives.

With money, everything changes; the real fear is not having money. Without money, nothing can be changed.

Not long after Zhou Yongcheng returned, many people came to buy fish. Those who bought fish last year and tasted it came again this year.

As usual, fish will be sold from the 20th to the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

The day before selling the fish, Zhou Yongcheng called a lot of people to pull the nets and catch fish. The fish in the upper fishpond hadn't been touched last year, but today the fish in both fishponds had to be caught, and all the big fish had to be brought up and sold. If they couldn't be sold, they could keep them and sell them slowly.

There were people at the upper fishpond and another group at the lower fishpond, and a large number of people were watching. Both sides of the fishpond were packed with people.

Fish in the lower pond are pulled up using a seine net, while fish in the upper pond are pulled down using a seine net.

While pulling the net, Zhou Yongcheng used his divine sense to drive all the big fish to the center, so that they wouldn't stay in the fishpond and would eat the smaller fish.

There were just too many fish, so they only managed to catch a small portion of them. Even if they had all come, they couldn't have surrounded them.

"Good heavens, what a big fish! The biggest one must weigh over a hundred pounds."

As the nets were being pulled in, many fish surfaced, including quite a few weighing over 100 pounds, and even more weighing 70 or 80 pounds.

Before long, almost all the fish in the two fishponds were driven to the shallow water.

“Yongcheng, your feed is too strong; these fish are so fat and big,” Zhou Guohua said.

"If you're not aggressive, how can you sell your cattle for a high price?" Zhou Guoyao said.

Everyone burst into laughter. It was true; if it weren't for Zhou Yongcheng's feed mill, their cattle wouldn't have been able to sell for over a hundred yuan per kilogram.

Thinking about how the fish in Zhou Yongcheng's fishpond were fed with pure feed and tasted incredibly delicious, it's a pity that they didn't dare to feed their cattle and sheep with pure feed. Firstly, the cost was too high, and secondly, the feed mills didn't have enough feed for them.

"Yongcheng, the fish are too big. I'm afraid the fishpond next to the house can't hold many of them."

"Can the fishnet gate keep these fish out?"

"Yes, tie this end to the steel pillar of the pontoon bridge, and use steel pipes to secure this side as well. They shouldn't be able to escape."

That was the only way. My second uncle went and got a few sections of steel pipe, drove them into the edge of the fishpond, and secured the trawl net. The fish could then swim within that area.

"Throw out any fish weighing less than 20 pounds and keep only the big fish."

"Brother Cheng, are you selling fish today?" a young man from the village asked.

"Sure, it's half price today. Those who want to try it should grab it now."

Nowadays, most families in the village are not short of money, and spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy fish is not a big problem.

"Give me the biggest one, and I'll just send some over to my father-in-law to try."

"That's good for you, young man. You know how to be filial to your father-in-law."

Many people in the village are buying fish, and they all pick the biggest ones, weighing over a hundred pounds, enough to last until next year.

After a busy day, six or seven tables were set up in the parking lot next to the fishpond, where all the villagers gathered to eat, creating a lively atmosphere.

“Yongcheng, Xiaoqin brought her child to see me a while ago. She knows that the beef from our village is of good quality and wants to buy some beef to open a beef noodle shop in their county town. What do you think?” Zhou Guohua asked.

Xiaoqin's real name is Zhou Xiaoqin. She is Zhou Guohua's eldest daughter, one year older than Zhou Yongcheng. She married into a neighboring county.

“The village has already signed contracts with others regarding the sale of cattle and sheep. They can only slaughter the cattle for their own consumption and cannot sell them to others. This is a matter of credit. Once you open this door, other villagers will probably follow suit. Some families also have daughters who marry out of the village,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

“Yes, Jiang Qing also asked me. She said that such good beef would definitely sell well if we opened a beef noodle shop. But I didn’t agree because I had already signed a contract with her. She’s been ignoring me ever since and won’t answer my calls. She’s definitely angry with me,” Zhou Guohong said with a helpless expression.

Jiang Qing is Zhou Guohong's eldest daughter, named Zhou Jiangqing. She is two years younger than Zhou Yongcheng and married into a village on the other side of the town.

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and then asked Zhou Yongqiang, who was sitting next to him.

"Is there any extra feed left in the factory?"

"This year, the village has added many more farmers, and we can still manage to distribute the feed for now. The little feed we have left is sold to farmers in the town. We can't even sell the kind of feed that some people buy in bulk, like two bags at a time. If the village adds more farmers or expands the scale of farming next year, the factory may not be able to distribute the feed."

"How many livestock breeds are there in the village now?"

"As for cattle, Hu Xilin and Uncle Guo Qiao from the Hu family each raise more than fifty cattle, while other families raise about twenty or thirty. As for sheep, one family raises more than three hundred sheep, while other families raise only about one or two hundred."

With cattle and sheep prices so high, people naturally want to raise more, and the more they raise, the more they earn—that's only natural. But the money they earn comes at the cost of Zhou Yongcheng sacrificing his own interests; it's a benefit that Zhou Yongcheng has secured for them.

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and said, "This year is almost over. Starting next June, the feed will be distributed according to the amount of 30 cattle and 200 sheep. It cannot exceed this amount. The raw materials for feed are limited and cannot be supplied indefinitely."

Zhou Yongcheng limited the number of livestock to a certain range, mainly because he didn't want to expand the scale of the feed mill. If the scale of the feed mill expanded, he would have to constantly pay attention to the amount of weed powder, and he wouldn't have the time to keep track of the amount of weed powder.

"Yongcheng, how do we distribute the feed when we only raise about twenty cows?" Zhou Guohua asked.

"That depends on what kind of livestock you have at home. If you have pigs, chickens, or other poultry, you can get a few more packs, but you can't exceed the limit."

Then everyone realized that the feed was allocated according to the number of animals raised, which limited the number of animals that could be raised. You could raise more animals, but the amount of feed sold to you would only be so much.

Zhou Guohua knew that Zhou Yongcheng was giving them a hint: although they couldn't provide beef or mutton for their daughter, they could provide pork and chicken. The pork raised with feed and fodder was also very delicious. The pig they slaughtered a few days ago tasted almost as good as beef when stir-fried.
