In the afternoon, in Jiankang North, a giant centipede kite was flying above Leyou Garden.

Its body is huge, and from a distance it looks like a dragon circling over Leyou Garden.

Li Li watched his children run excitedly with the kite string, and then look at the big kite "floating" above his head, and suddenly an idea came up.

The dragon balls are gathered together, the dragon appears, it’s time to make a wish!!!

So, what should I do?

Of course, it is immortality. As an emperor, if you lack nothing, you will lack immortality.

This is the most wish that all emperors want to realize. The feeling of holding supreme power in their hands makes people unable to forget it after they taste it. So, how great would it be if they could enjoy power forever?

Li Li's thoughts were divergent: being afraid of the end of life was not only the weakness of emperors and generals, but also human weakness.

In later generations, why did the elderly make so much money in business of health care products?

There is nothing else. The old man's physical function has declined, and the footsteps of death are getting closer and closer, but he doesn't want to die, so in order to live longer, he is willing to spend money to save his life.

He has seen too many examples. Many elderly people bargain with the stall owner for a dime to buy a dish on weekdays.

As a result, after being fooled by the health product salesman, he spent thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to buy various health products without hesitation.

This is human nature - fear of death. Of course, this "fear of death" is not a derogatory word, but a neutral word.

Even if ordinary people live a hard life, they will spend their entire lives to live longer, let alone the emperor?

The emperor who wakes up the power of the world and lies in the knees of a beautiful woman, wants to live a hundred years longer than anyone else. Once he tastes the taste of power, he wants to delegate power, it is more difficult than climbing to heaven.

So, when I get old, will I embark on the road of refining alchemy for immortality?

This path is unscientific!

Li Li sighed in his heart. Seeing that his children could already master the centipede kite, he explained a few words and walked towards the north of Xuanwu Lake.

In the water pavilion by the lake, Queen Huang Yan and several concubines took their young children to feed the fish, but the waters where the feeding was a separate fish pond.

In the fish pond, there are many fish gathered in the waters near the railings, but they are all light yellow fish.

When Huang Gui saw Li Li coming, he looked at the dry seedlings and was crying and waiting for the rain. He quickly said to the little guys: "Why don't you understand? Ask Aye!"

The little guys who were curious about the world immediately gathered around to ask questions when their father came, chirping like a group of sparrows.

There have always been many questions in their minds, but at this moment doubts gather on the pale yellow fish in the water:

"Why are the fish in this pond yellow, not red, not green?"

It is a way to make trouble for ignorant children. However, Li Li has always been patient with his children, so he answered the little guys' questions in a simple and easy-to-understand way as much as possible.

Question 1: Why are fish light yellow?

Answer: Because this is a yellow crucian carp caught inadvertently in the wild, also known as golden crucian carp, it is specially raised in the fish pond. As for the blue and red fish, why there are no blue and red fish? It is because it has not been caught.

Question 2: Will the baby with yellow croaker be yellow?

Answer: Not necessarily, small fish will hatch in a special pond. If the body is not yellow, it will be placed in the big lake. Only small fish with yellow bodies will live in a specific fish pond.

Question 3: What are the specialty of raising these yellow fish for? Is it delicious?

Answer: Yellow fish are very beautiful, of course they are raised to watch. If eaten, they are actually no different from normal color fish.

Li Li explained it and finally explained why this yellow crucian carp is specially raised: "If you raise yellow crucian carp, after many years, they will form a new ornamental fish species."

"Overy crucian carp, with dark backs on its back, swims in the fish pond and can't see clearly, but the yellow fish is different. It looks very beautiful, like a landscape moving in the water."

"The crucian carp in rivers and lakes occasionally have individuals with special colors. Then, we raise them in a direction, screen offspring, and select them from generation to generation, and their individuals will appear steadily yellow."

Li Li explained to his wives, concubines and children the evolutionary path from "golden crucian carp" to "goldfish".

Of course, this is what he heard from goldfish enthusiasts in that life:

Goldfish are a very common ornamental fish in later generations, but at first, they were not naturally present in nature.

Initially, yellow crucian carp (or golden crucian carp) was found in the wild, and then, it gradually underwent home transformation, artificial selection and artificial breeding.

Such artificial breeding and screening have caused the shape and color of yellow crucian carp to undergo drastic changes, which led to the diverse variety of goldfish species in later generations.

So, why does the shape of domestic goldfish change?

This is because the feeding environment of pond, tank and pot raise changes, resulting in changes in the shape of goldfish:

The narrow and cramped activity space makes it unnecessary for goldfish to grow long and exercise less.

So after generations of screening, goldfish with short body and "softened" fins and tails appeared.

Li Li cannot clearly describe the various historical periods of goldfish evolution, which are roughly as follows:

The emergence of golden carp and attracted attention, probably in the Jin Dynasty, and the home transformation of golden carp and probably in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the breeding of golden carp is gradually becoming more popular and the colors are becoming more abundant.

In the Ming Dynasty, the breeding of golden carp changed from pond to pot farming. This change caused a drastic change in the body shape of goldfish.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the word "goldfish" replaced golden crucian carp, and various strange-shaped goldfish species appeared one after another.

Therefore, when the fishermen accidentally caught the light yellow crucian carp in Pengli Lake, Li Li had the idea of ​​"breeding goldfish".

However, this process is very long and cannot be completed in one or two generations.

But it did not prevent him from completing the first step: popularizing artificial breeding of golden carp.

Therefore, Li Li collected crucian carp with varying colors with a lot of money and carried out special artificial breeding, so that these crucian carp with abnormal colors could be passed on to their offspring with stable yellow color.

That is, the variety "Golden Crucian carp" was obtained, and as the first generation of ornamental fish, it expanded its number through pond raising.

Li Li has done this step now.

Then, after the number of golden carp can increase, it will be sold as a "commercialized" ornamental fish to attract more people to raise golden carp.

After the scale of the breeding of golden carp by the people increases, the probability of color-specific individuals appearing greatly increases, accelerating the evolution of golden carp color.

Then explore the technology of tank farming, and then transition to basin farming, forcing the normal golden carp to evolve into a short and fat body shape, and the fins and tails of fish also appear to be "alienated".

Therefore, many years later, goldfish that could not appear in rivers and lakes were raised artificially.

Li Li briefly explained that his children understood and their interests increased greatly, and they also wanted to raise golden carp.

Children keep pets for three minutes, so they have to be treated after the adults. This is the case in the future, and of course it is no exception now.

However, Li Li did not say it out loud and agreed to let his children raise golden carp. He set up many "golden carp breeding bases", so now there are a lot of golden carp and can afford it.

Moreover, this is the "oldering project" he found for himself: organizing manpower and material resources to raise golden carp and accelerating the evolution of golden carp into goldfish is better than refining alchemy to seek immortality, right?

Li Li accompanied his family for a while, and Huang Yan, who had just left the table, turned back.

Seeing Huang Gui's eyes, Li Li stood up and left. Huang Gui then took his seat. The couple's little movements were seen by the concubines.

Zhao Mengniang and Duan Yuying pretended not to see it, wiped sweat for their children and handed pastries. Xue Yuechang and sister Xue Yue'e exchanged glances, and then regarded it as not to see it.

Li Li walked in the corridor, turned left and right, and Zhang Lihua followed as a maid. After a while, he came to an attic. The palace maid who was waiting next to the door saw this and reported it to it, then pushed open the door.

Zhang Lihua was surprised to see her old master, Madam Xiao, and she took a seat in the pavilion.

Seeing that Miss Xiao’s face was flushed and her appearance became more and more delicate, her heart could not help but beating faster: What’s this?

Li Li entered, but did not close the door. He sat opposite Xiao Miaoqing, with only him in the cabinet.

After a few greetings, Li Li looked at the somewhat shy beauty and asked, "Enter the palace, I'll take care of you."

Xiao Miaoqing lowered her head slightly when she heard this, twisted her hands, and felt her cheeks burn.

At the end of last year, she heard Xue Yue'e reveal that Li Li mentioned her in her sleep, so she panicked, but she quickly figured it out:

According to Li Li's character, if she really wants to do something to her, she will say directly that she will not use any despicable means. If she refuses, Li Li will not have any revenge.

As a result, Li Li quickly led the army to the army. After spending half a year outside, she also struggled for half a year: Is this matter true or false?

She didn't mind remarrying. After all, raising her son alone was very hard, but she didn't know if she would become a widow for life if she just waited silently.

If others think that the emperor is interested in her and dare not send someone to match her, but the emperor is actually unintentional to her, then...

Xiao Miaoqing is the princess’ female master. She often enters the palace because of her entanglement, which is inevitably reflected on her face.

The queen seemed to have seen something and asked her directly: Now there is a good partner. If not, would she be willing to enter the palace as a concubine?

If she wants, the queen can ask the emperor.

Facing the queen's question, Xiao Miaoqing was silent for a long time, and she was considered accusation.

So, today's meeting.

Now, Li Li asked, and Xiao Miaoqing was embarrassed to answer.

Li Li looked at the increasingly beautiful princess of the previous dynasty and sighed that "golden crucian carp" was rare, and did not ask questions, and brought the pipa:

"This time I went to Hebei and learned some pipa playing skills and a new song. Please help me appreciate it."

Xiao Miaoqing calmed down and looked up at Li Li.

But Li Li held the pipa horizontally and wrote down the song: "The song is "On the Shui side"."

Then he started singing: "The green grass is pale and mist is vast, and there is a beautiful woman on the side of the water."

"The green grass is lush and the white mist is blurred, and there is a beautiful woman living by the water."

"I would like to go upstream and snuggle beside her..."

At this moment, Xiao Miaoqing could hear the meaning of the string. Her heart was like a deer bumping into her, her breathing became rapid, and her cheeks became hot again.
