"Xiao Bao, are you planning to stay in Zhuangzi for two more days?" Wang Juan sat at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod tightly in her hand as she asked Zhang Xiaobao, who was lying on the deck and basking in the sun.
The two of them had already returned from Little Luoshui. Actually, they didn't go out to play as usual. They never said that they could put everything down and have fun once. They came out for a stroll and got a boat company.
The boat company wasn't too important. As long as you had money, you could get a boat company. The main thing was that they hired a very special person, Mi Fan, who had a natural sense of danger. If such a person was put on the boat, she would be able to sense danger before they encountered it.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were jealous of this once.
Zhang Xiaobao put his arms behind his head and basked there. If there were clouds blocking the sun, he would open his eyes and shout. It wasn't clear if he wanted the clouds to leave quickly or if he liked the occasional cool breeze.
When he heard Wang Juan's question, he yawned and said, "My father asked me to help the two villages think of a solution. He didn't ask me to go back. As long as I have a solution, I can go anywhere."
"Then have you thought of a solution? I have a good idea. Tell me why I can't catch any fish, and I'll tell you my idea. "
Wang Juan seemed to be in a good mood. She swung the fishing rod and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"The hook you chose is too thin. It's only as thick as a chopstick. Of course you can't catch any fish. When we reach Zhuangzi, we'll make a hook with a maximum diameter of ten centimeters. Then you can fish however you want. Even if the fish doesn't eat the bait, you can hit it with the hook and knock it out. The hook you used was prepared for Wangjing City to send people to fish in the Yellow River. It's not for fishing in this small river."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know if Wang Juan was just guessing or if she really didn't understand. How could they use such a thick hook to catch fish in the river when they were surviving in the wild?
Wang Juan took back the hook and gently stroked it in her hand: "In fact, my method is very simple, and that is to let the willing take the bait. It is also a bit immoral.
Originally, there was a temple there. Now that it's not allowed, we'll make something else, such as a fox immortal or a fish spirit. First, we'll find some shills to burn incense. They'll use the yamen's money to build the road, all the way to the middle between the two villages.
After that, they vigorously promoted how efficacious that place was. Others who went to burn incense at least had incense. You also know the situation of that place. The forest was stuffy, hot, and humid. Some people's incense would be damp if they didn't preserve it well.
We'll let the people of the two villages sell these things in the villages. When they go there and find that the things they brought can't be used, they naturally want to buy them. They'll be willing to pay a little more. It's fine for rich people to do this, but it's not good for those who don't have money to go there. "
As Wang Juan spoke, she threw the hook into the river again without even hanging the bait. Looking at the floating clouds in the sky, she didn't know whether this idea was good or bad.
"So you're saying that your fishing hook is specially made for fishing spirits? It's a good idea, but as you said, some people who don't have money are also willing to join in the fun. We can't say that they are pitiful, but they must be hateful. My father is the county magistrate. It's his responsibility to enlighten the people and spread the word.
We can change the way to attract people. We can also use shills. I've already thought about how to say it. We'll say 'wear beautiful silk and eat fragrant wild game'. There are many wild animals in that place. It's impossible to kill all the wild animals with that little manpower and those kinds of weapons.
We can find shills to go there and promote the delicious food there. In fact, there are also delicious food in other places. It's just an excuse. If one person is willing to go there, there will be a second one. Especially since there are many wild animals there, some people like to go hunting everywhere. Let them go there.
Apart from tourism, I really didn't know how to develop that kind of place. Raising some poultry and pigs would only make their lives a little better. The people who usually went hunting would have to make sure that the animals they raised were not eaten by wild animals. It would also take up a lot of manpower.
Especially now, no matter what they eat, it's all green food and can't be sold at a high price. Or let them move out. There's no development if they stay there all the time. "
Zhang Xiaobao also came up with an idea, but this kind of thing was too uncertain. There was no way to say that they could live a good life by doing this.
Wang Juan also knew about this matter. Now was not the same as before. A large group of people felt that life in the city was boring and always wanted to go deep into the mountains. A free-range chicken can be sold for more than ten times the price. Now, no matter how they raise it, it's still not enough money. It's the same for pigs.
Rafting can be used there. It's said that there is a river, but bungee jumping can't be counted on. Without ropes made of that material, even if it's the former, people don't need to go to the mountains to experience it. As long as they are not afraid of death, they can get a boat to float in the Wei River and the Yellow River.
It's even more impossible to come out of the mountains. There is not so much land that can be farmed. It's so close to the capital. With so many people, the land has already been divided.
"Then let's think about it again. There will always be a way." Wang Juan said helplessly. Just as she said that, the fishing rod suddenly wanted to sink.
If it was an ordinary child, they would have been taken down. Wang Juan's reaction was different. Her will was also different. She hugged the fishing rod tightly to her chest and supported her feet on the side of the boat. She shouted, "Help me."
Zhang Xiaobao turned his head to look. He didn't want to bask in the sun anymore. When he was halfway through a carp jump, his body turned 180 degrees in the air, and he leaned forward at an angle of 60 degrees. He exerted force on his feet and directly pounced on Wang Juan. His body adjusted again in the air, and his legs crossed, forming the same posture as Wang Juan. When he landed on the deck, his two feet were also on the side of the boat. He reached out and just happened to hug Wang Juan.
The four hands of the two people changed positions in half a second. They firmly grabbed the fishing rod, and their four legs were on the side of the boat.
"Someone come." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan shouted at the same time. While shouting, they adjusted their bodies again.
There were people patrolling the boat. When they heard the shouts of the young master and the young lady, they hurriedly ran over. Looking at the posture of the fishing rod, they knew how big the fish was. They rushed forward and used their bodies to block the front of the two people. In fact, they were pressing on the legs of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
After waiting for the people behind to come over, everyone exerted their strength together and finally pulled up a five foot long carp. At this time, the fishing rod was already cracked, and there was no time to get the net. Two people directly came up and held the carp as if they were wrestling with each other and pressed it to the deck.
"Who said that I can't catch fish with such a thick hook?" Wang Juan said excitedly. Just now, she wanted to let go. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobao rushed over in time. The carp didn't exert its strength in other places, but perpendicular to the side of the boat. Only then did it stabilize.
The people on the boat didn't expect that the young lady could catch such a big fish. This carp didn't swallow the hook, but was caught by the hook. The hook was deeply embedded in an inch below the gill.
Zhang Xiaobao went over to take a look. He gave Wang Juan a thumbs up. "Good, Comrade Wang Juan. I'm convinced. You can catch it. No matter how you catch it, it doesn't matter if it's the underworld or the legal way. As long as you can make money, it's a good way."
"Luck, it's all luck, and the subsequent actions of others, such as Song Xiang, Wang Lai, Zhang Xia, and of course, Comrade Zhang XX, who rushed over first, made this carp admit defeat."
Wang Juan said modestly.
"What do you mean by 'Comrade Zhang XX'? Bureaucracy is not good. Your luck is a bit good. If the villagers of the Big and Small Fragrant Hills had this kind of luck, it would be good. Luck? Luck …? Feng Shui, there's also Feng Shui. "
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he entered a state of contemplation.
Wang Juan was still thinking about how to eat this fish. Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything, she also quieted down.
"I know what to do. We can let some people who know how to measure Feng Shui go in and have a look. There are so many mountains, rivers, trees, and so on. People who know how to measure Feng Shui will definitely find a good place. Even if it's a bad place, we can change it. For example, if a mountain is not good, we can blow it up.
If the Feng Shui is good, people will naturally be willing to go and have a look. We can put the food and the medicine bath in the village. After eating the good things, we can take a bath. The next day, when we wake up, we will be refreshed. Don't you think it's the effect of Feng Shui? We can ask for a higher price and scare away the poor people. We can earn money from the rich people. "
Zhang Xiaobao finally found a good way. Regardless of whether Feng Shui existed or not, it involved too many things, including air, diet, behavior, the influence of magnetic fields on the human body, underground hydrology, and so on.
But it was useful now, and it could be used. According to the environment, Feng Shui could be changed. If the water channel was not good, they could change it. If it was high, they could blow it up. As long as the people who measure Feng Shui reached a consensus according to their theory, it could be implemented in the Big and Small Fragrant Hills.
When Wang Juan heard the word Feng Shui, she frowned and felt a little superstitious. After thinking about it, she said, "That's better. When you don't understand Feng Shui, it's a superstition. After you understand it, it's science. Even building a government building needs to be tested, let alone people now.
Let's do it this way. Invite more people like this and let them have a good look. As long as they reach a consensus, we can publicize it. We have to guard against some liars, people who don't even know the theory. We must not let them sneak in. "
