Li Zhao was pleasantly surprised, firstly because Long Xiaoyu was easy to learn and learned quickly, and secondly because the fish species in this era were far more complete than he had imagined.
"Fish are very adaptable. Even if you don't care, they can still grow well in a year." Li Zhaodao: "But if we want to regard fish farming as a profession, then there is a lot of knowledge involved."
"For example, water quality requirements."
"Your Highness, what is water quality?" Long Xiaoyu humbly asked for advice.
"Water quality is very important to fish. You can understand the quality of the water, just like the water in some ponds stinks, but some water is very clear and drinkable." Li Zhao could only speak in layman terms.
Long Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully.
"Therefore, if you want to use pig manure to raise fish in the future, you need to always monitor the water quality."
"The water conditions and your own experience all require you to explore step by step and eventually become your knowledge."
"In the future, you have to understand the habits of crucian carp, mandarin fish, grass carp, and herring. Only in this way will you be able to raise fish with ease in the future. Do you understand?"
"But... I can't write." Long Xiaoyu lowered his head and blushed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write. I will arrange for someone to follow you and help you take notes." Li Zhao smiled gently.
"Then...then..." Long Xiaoyu seemed to have mustered up the courage to say, "Can I also learn to read?"
Li Zhao was stunned.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry...I don't want to learn anymore..." Long Xiaoyu quickly shook his head again.
He saw Li Zhao stunned and thought that Li Zhao would not agree.
In this era, studying is a very luxurious thing, and it is a treatment that only noble men have.
Li Zhao touched Long Xiaoyu's head and said softly: "I thought you didn't want to study!"
In fact, many children do not like to study.
Because they find it too difficult.
"I do!" Long Xiaoyu said eagerly.
"Okay!" Li Zhao promised: "I will arrange a teacher for you in the future, so that you can learn from him if you want to learn."
"Really?" Long Xiaoyu's face flushed with excitement, and then he imitated the appearance of a scholar and saluted Li Zhao nondescriptly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Zhao spent the whole day teaching Long Xiaoyu how to distinguish fish. He was not a professional teacher and did not have a systematic explanation method. He always talked about whatever came to mind.
In this way, it will increase the difficulty of learning for Long Xiaoyu.
But this kind of teaching will not appear boring.
"Next year, we crucian carp and carp can be fed individually." Li Zhao said.
"How to feed alone?" Long Xiaoyu's eyes were full of curiosity.
"For example, raised in rice fields." Li Zhao said with a smile.
"Can it still be kept in the rice fields?" Long Xiaoyu was surprised and his dark eyes widened.
"Of course! Raising this fish in rice fields is good for both rice fields and fish." Li Zhao explained: "Whether it is crucian carp or carp, you can raise it."
This kind of fish is often called the flower fish. They are omnivorous, fast growing, strong reproductive capacity, tender meat and high in protein.
It will be valuable to sell in later generations.
At first, Li Zhao was as curious as Long Xiaoyu, so he read a lot of information and videos, so it was really not difficult to explain.
More importantly, the water quality here is excellent.
If every household raises a lot of fish in their rice fields, it will be equivalent to an additional income.
Whether you cook it yourself or sell it, it is a very good choice.
Li Zhao will sell the technology in the form of shares when the time comes, and the people will have one more skill to survive, so why not?
Li Zhao never felt that borrowing one person's ability could drive the entire country forward.
What can change the destiny of the entire country must be the result of the joint efforts of thousands of compatriots.
His plan from the beginning was not to make money by himself. He wanted to lead the local villagers, villagers, and county residents to become rich step by step through his own efforts.
Only when the people at the bottom of the entire Wu Kingdom become richer and stronger can the country become richer and stronger and be able to do more things.
The common people are the foundation of the entire country.
This is also the reason why Li Zhao doesn't take the aristocratic families too seriously. Of course, this doesn't mean that Li Zhao is so arrogant that he can really arm-wrestle with the aristocratic families in the world.
He doesn't have this strength yet.
Therefore, he chose to find another way.
Threshing machines, windmills, rice mills and curved shaft plows, none of them can compete head-on with the wealthy families.
If he really had to fight head-on, he would have died countless times.
Now, the whole country is tied to him, who dares to touch him?
The key is that everything Li Zhao does is too confusing.
He was so strong that no one thought he was targeting aristocratic families.
Just like at this moment, all these things Li Zhao is doing are for the people's livelihood. Who dares to believe that he is targeting aristocratic families?
If Emperor Wu didn't know the inside story, he wouldn't believe it.
Li Zhao did not interfere in matters over the fish pond. He had a good habit of making decisions and guidance only in the general direction.
As a superior, a person in power, you must learn to delegate authority appropriately.
Only by fully trusting your subordinates can they help you wholeheartedly.
If you don't trust me and still give you constraints and give you pointers at every turn, you will definitely not be able to do this well.
Therefore, Li Zhao would not point fingers at the fish ponds, because in his opinion, the resources in this era are too abundant and inexhaustible.
As long as he uses it well, anything can become a weapon for him to make money or... a knife to kill people.
The fish pond has come to an end, mainly because there are so many people working there.
Long Xiaoyu also led many people to classify fish species. How many fish to raise in a pond and how to raise them all need to be explored.
No matter how he explores this matter, Li Zhao won't ask.
If Long Xiaoyu succeeds, then he will control his own destiny, and the business in Li Zhao's hands will be left to him in the future.
The opportunity for Long Xiaoyu's family to turn around has arrived.
Of course, Li Zhao didn't remind him.
Today, he took Li Chong, Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong and Wu Diao Si to take a break from the busy work, preparing to pick up the placed bamboo baskets.
Wu Diao Si is more curious and has learned a lot of professional knowledge since following Li Zhao here.
Whatever he encountered now, he couldn't help but want to ask about it.
"Go and take it out." Li Zhao ordered. He was too lazy to get into the water because the weather was a bit cold.
"I'll come, I'll come." Wu Diaosi stopped Li Chong and went into the water to get it himself.
Even the ditches of this era are much cleaner than those of later eras.
When Wu Diao Si picked up the bamboo cage, the color changed slightly: "Oh my god, is this a snake?"
He was so frightened that his accent came out.
