Daqian Dynasty.
Yongchang three years, May 19th.
It’s late spring now and fish activity is at its peak.
On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.
On the Baisha River, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting on the bow of the boat, skillfully controlling the awning boat.
"That's it."
Zhou Shan came to a place where he often fished, used his mental power to sense it for a while, looked at the right moment, grabbed the hemp rope, woven a large net and threw it into the water. After a quarter of an hour, he began to close the net.
Wow!
As the big net was lifted, more than a dozen fish appeared in the net.
"With improved mental strength, you can sense the breath of life around you. Fishing is convenient."
Looking at the catch in the net, Zhou Shan's eyes were filled with joy.
Name: Zhou Shan
Talent: Infinite Spirit (every day, one point of spiritual attribute will be added)
Strength: 6
Defense: 5
Agility: 3
Constitution: 6
Spirit: 95
Martial Arts: None
In a flash of thought, an attribute panel appeared in front of Zhou Shan's eyes.
Three months ago, he traveled through time and came to this world and became a fisherman in Baisha County, Dacang County. His mother died of illness when he was young, and his father died a year ago when he encountered a water demon in the river while fishing.
The predecessor was a son who inherited his father's business and had always made a living by fishing.
Three months ago, my predecessor fell into a coma due to a high fever due to a cold infection.
After waking up, Zhou Shan traveled through this time and awakened the attribute panel in front of him.
In addition to recording data, the most important thing about the attribute panel is the talent displayed.
The talent 'Infinite Spirit', every day, the spiritual attributes will increase a little.
As long as you stay alive, your mental attributes can be infinitely improved.
This is what he relies on in this world.
At the beginning, his mental attributes were not much different from the four items of strength, defense, agility, and constitution, with a value of only '4'. However, three months later, the value of his mental attributes had increased to '95'.
Among them, when the mental attribute value increased to '10', Zhou Shan happened to have a special ability.
This special ability is to perceive life fluctuations.
His mental power can sense the fluctuations emanating from the life around him.
Through this special ability, Zhou Shan can easily find the fish nest in the river when fishing. He can harvest a full catch every time he casts the net, and he bids farewell to the "Air Force".
Moreover, with the improvement of spiritual attributes, the range of life perception is getting wider and wider, reaching a diameter of one thousand meters, and this ability to sense life fluctuations has even saved his life several times.
In the Baisha River, there is a man-eating water monster hidden.
Every year, many fishermen are buried in Baisha River and become food for water monsters.
Within the range of life perception, the more powerful the life is, the stronger the life fluctuation it has.
Under normal circumstances, the life fluctuations of fish, shrimps, turtles, etc. in the river cannot exceed that of humans. Even children's life fluctuations are stronger than those of fish and shrimps, but water monsters far surpass ordinary people.
Therefore, with the ability to perceive life, as long as the water demon enters the range of spiritual perception, Zhou Shan will be able to detect the traces of the water demon immediately and escape quickly.
This allowed Zhou Shan to successfully avoid several dangers.
But other fishermen don't have Zhou Shan's ability. Whether they can survive the encounter with the water monster depends on luck. If the water monster is full, it will leave on its own initiative, thus escaping disaster.
If you are unlucky, you will become food for the water monster.
After closing the panel, Zhou Shan immediately fixed the fishing net, then took out the crucian carp from the net and put them into wooden barrels filled with water to prevent these fish from dying due to lack of water.
The prices of live fish and dead fish are different. The difference between the two is several percent.
Putting all the fish in the net into the wooden bucket, Zhou Shan arranged the fishing net, then used his mind to sense the fluctuations of life around him, looked in a certain direction, and quickly cast the net out.
In this way, Zhou Shan was busy all morning.
The several wooden buckets he brought were all filled with catches.
Carp, grass carp, crucian carp, white carp, silver carp, bighead carp, black fish...all kinds of fish are available.
In addition, there are river shrimp, old turtle, river crab, etc.
"about there!"
Zhou Shan ended this fishing trip.
The fish he caught weighed more than two hundred kilograms. If he sold them all, he would get about a thousand yuan. However, not all of the money belongs to him and he needs to pay various taxes.
During the Qian Dynasty, the country was founded for more than 600 years. Officials were corrupt and their administration was corrupt. Officials from all over the country set up various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to make money.
For example, fishermen not only have to pay fishing taxes, berthing fees for fishing boats docked at piers, and sell fish at county markets, they also have to pay transaction taxes, stall fees, management fees, etc.
In addition, they have to be exploited by gangs and pay 'protection money'.
If you don't pay, you may fall into the river and drown for no apparent reason while fishing.
Therefore, excluding taxes and gang protection fees, one thousand cash would only cost about two hundred and thirty cash. Therefore, in order to save trouble, Zhou Shan directly sold the catch to the fishing gang.
Although the money you get will be less in this way. Calculated based on one thousand pennies, you will only get about two hundred pennies, which is thirty pennies less. But this saves a lot of trouble and saves a lot of time.
With the time saved, Zhou Shan went to the county school to attend classes and become literate. He had not thought about taking the exam for academic status, but if he wanted to fully integrate into the world, mastering the language and characters of this world was the foundation.
Putting away the fishing net, Zhou Shan used the oar of the boat and sailed slowly towards the county seat.
…
…
Half an hour later.
Zhou Shan drove through a reed swamp and arrived at the fishing dock in Baisha County.
The fishing pier is a place where fishing boats are specifically berthed.
In addition to the fishing wharf, Baisha County also has a commercial wharf, which is a port where commercial ships come and go. All the ships that come in and out are large ships dozens of meters long, which are much more impressive than the remote fishing wharf.
Dozens of fishing boats are neatly parked at the fishing pier.
This is only part of it. There are hundreds of fishermen in Baisha County. Most of the fishermen are still fishing outside. Some fishermen have not caught enough fish and even live on the boat for a whole day.
When going out to fish, these fishermen will also prepare some dry food with them. At night, they can find a random shore to dock, and they usually come back every three to five days.
Because you park at the pier, you have to pay a parking fee.
Ordinary fishermen do not have strong mental power and the ability to sense the fluctuations of life like Zhou Shan. What they rely on when fishing is experience, but this experience is not 100% reliable, and there will be times when the harvest is not good.
Therefore, most fishermen can only make ends meet and cannot make any big fortune.
Zhou Shan has a strong mental power and can sense where there are fish in the river, so he can catch more than two hundred kilograms of fish in half a day, and if he is willing, he can fish in the river from morning to night, let alone more than two hundred kilograms. , even if you catch three hundred catties or four hundred catties, it’s not a big problem.
But until you don't have the strength to protect your wealth, you still have to keep a low profile.
If he really catches so many fish in one day, he will be causing trouble. He will definitely be targeted by some people, thinking that he has special fishing skills, and then trouble will come.
Therefore, Zhou Shan only visited the fish market every few days.
