Chapter 4: Excellent Character
There are only these four items available for exchange in the interface in front of him, but even so, Liu He was still surprised!
"These four things are all priceless! Not to mention the herb garden and prescriptions, even the weapon training manuals and books are treasures in this era when knowledge is monopolized by aristocratic families."

Liu He was surprised, but also worried.

Because each of these things is what he urgently needs right now, but he can only stare and watch, because his points are now 0 and he is a complete pauper.

Even if he wanted to recruit talents to earn task points, there were only a few people in this remote mountain village where he was. Where could he recruit talents?

Liu He's young face was frowned, and he seemed to be in a very heavy mood.

At this time, the system's voice sounded again.

"Tip: When you open the system for the first time, after listening to the system introduction, you will get a chance to spin the lucky wheel. You can choose any ten items from all the currently redeemable items and put them on the wheel to draw. Would you like to use it now?"

This hint really surprised Liu He.

"Haha, this system is really a timely relief! Now anything I draw is a treasure. Use it, use it now!"

"Received the instruction. The host currently has four items that can be redeemed. The system will put all four items into the turntable by default. Once the turntable starts, please stop it at any time."

As the cold mechanical sound of the system sounded, Liu He "saw" a huge turntable in his mind begin to spin rapidly.

"stop!"

Liu He shouted in his heart, and the turntable slowed down obviously, and stopped completely after a while.

"The host has drawn a medicinal garden, which will be stored in the system warehouse."

"Haha, it's actually a medicinal garden. This is what I need most right now! So cool, I made a fortune!"

Liu He almost laughed out loud with joy.

In this era, the value of medicinal herbs was quite high. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary soldiers in the imperial regular army could not afford any good medicinal herbs.

"Now that I have a medicine garden, the next step is to earn points and redeem them for health-enhancing prescriptions! With these two things, my physical condition will definitely improve greatly!"

Eat enough, exercise more, and take special herbs for nourishment. In this way, your body will grow rapidly. Even if your strength doesn't increase much, your martial arts skills can still be greatly improved, and these are all points.

Liu He's heart was already pounding with emotion at this time.

"He'er, stop playing, it's time to eat!"

The voice of Liu He's mother, Xu, came from home, and Liu He quickly put away his excitement.

In this era, ordinary people could only have two meals a day, called breakfast and lunch. Only wealthy families could afford three meals a day. At this time, what they eat is naturally breakfast.

The breakfast was just a whole wheat cake and a bowl of very thin porridge. It was barely enough to fill me up, let alone the taste and nutrition.

Liu He's portion was better. When he stirred it with chopsticks, he could feel obvious resistance from the millet at the bottom of the bowl. However, there was no rice at all in the portion his parents drank. It seemed that they gave as much of their limited food as possible to Liu He.

Liu He looked at this scene and felt deeply moved.

"Once we find the right opportunity, we must extract the herbs from the garden as soon as possible and then exchange them for some food so that our family can live a better life."

Normally, after breakfast, my father would go to work in the fields, come back at noon, and then rest at home in the afternoon and chop firewood.

But today was different. After finishing his meal, Liu Qian did not go out, but called Liu He to his side.

Liu Qian seemed to have completely gotten rid of the shadow of what had just happened, with a look of joy on his face. He looked at his son and straightened his expression slightly.

"He'er, since His Majesty the Great Ancestor has chosen you, you must work hard in the future and never slack off. You must never let down the kindness of our ancestors, understand?"

When Liu He heard this, he was ready to give him a good lecture. But think about it, if you give birth to a child who can be favored by the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, anyone would strengthen their discipline like Liu Qian, after all, he is only an eight-year-old child.

In fact, even if he, as a father, didn't mention it, Liu He was prepared to work hard.

"Yes, I understand. I plan to start practicing martial arts and studying next."

Liu Qian was very satisfied, stroking his beard and said, "Well, you are so diligent, I'm sure our ancestors will be very pleased. There are still a few books in the house, although most of them are damaged, but they should be enough for you to study in the next two years. As for martial arts, you have such natural strength, it would be a pity if you don't train well. I will prepare some equipment for your father in the back mountain, and you should also practice well."

Liu He cupped his hands and said, "Everything is up to my father to arrange."

"Well, that's good." Liu Qian nodded, squinting his eyes, obviously in a very good mood.

"By the way, the Zhang family will come over to calculate the rent in a while, so you can come with me."

When Liu He heard this, he felt a little happy.

My family is not a landlord. In addition to farming their own land, they also rent some of it to a tenant, the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has a son and a daughter, named Zhang Ergou and Zhang Erni. They have been playing with Liu He since they were young and are considered one of his few friends. Every time the Zhang family comes to collect rent, Zhang Ergou will definitely come along.

So when Liu He heard that they would be coming over soon, he was naturally very happy.

Sure enough, not long after, two men, one old and one young, came to Liu He's house. The younger one was Zhang Ergou, and the older one was Ergou's father Zhang Tong.

In this photo, Ergou is dark and thin, about the same height as Liu He. His clothes are full of patches and covered with dust and dirt. He looks a little depressed, which may be related to not having enough to eat. After all, his family conditions are much worse than his own.

However, despite this, Ergou's eyes were bright and sharp, especially after seeing Liu He, they shone with a bit of brilliance.

Compared to Ergou, Zhang Tong was a little restrained. He hunched over, with a silly smile on his face, and walked into the house with his son to meet Liu Qian.

The two adults, Zhang Tong and Liu Qian, were calculating this year's output and the rent they should collect, while Liu He was looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same height as him.

Although Zhang Ergou is young, he has dark skin and a thin body, but he still has some muscles. Liu He suddenly had an idea and summoned the system.

"System, help me check the attributes of this second dog."

"Ding, Zhang Ergou's current attributes are Command 18, Force 32, Intelligence 29, Politics 16."

Liu He was delighted.

Although the attributes of this Ergou are still very low at present, his martial arts ability is 32 points, which is only 8 points lower than his natural supernatural power. He is still worth training.

"Well... Anyway, there are not many people I can contact at the moment, so I don't have much choice. I might as well take Zhang Ergou as my first subordinate and train him as a military commander! Well, it's decided!"

According to the knowledge from his previous life, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in 184 AD, which is 12 years from now. As long as he makes good use of the system, even a child today may be trained to become a general who can compete with many famous generals in history. Therefore, he must seize the time, recruit subordinates, and earn points, because time waits for no one.

Just as Liu He was thinking about how to keep Er Gou by his side, his father Liu Qian's voice came over: "He'er, come and see if the rent is calculated correctly?"

When Liu He heard this, he knew that this was his father testing him.

The Zhang family rented a total of 37 acres of their own land, which was not a large number, and this simple math problem could not stump Liu He at all. He simply used his mental calculations, following the "Multiplication Table", muttering to himself, and soon he had it figured out.

"Reporting to father, the calculation is correct."

When Liu Qian heard the numbers he recited when he was doing mental arithmetic, he thought that this algorithm was really new. However, he had little knowledge, so he did not find any problems. He just kept thanking his ancestors in his heart for giving him such a smart child.

Perhaps because he was very happy about what happened today, Liu Qian waved his sleeves and wiped out the last bit of rent, which made Zhang Tong very grateful.
