Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In Zhang He's training chamber, after the drop of blood essence of the undead demon king absorbed enough aura, it began to grow.

From a drop of blood, it gradually turned into a mass of wriggling blood.

The blood continues to grow and grow over time.

The change in blood had already alarmed Zhang He who was training.

At this moment, he stopped practicing, squatted next to the blood, and looked at all this curiously, while his consciousness communicated with the clone.

At the same time, the avatar is parasitic inside the blood, and the blood lakes everywhere are expanding rapidly.

However, with his current primordial spirit in the foundation building stage, the refining speed has been greatly increased, and the newly added part of the blood lake will soon be refined by him and controlled by him.

Although there are unpredictable changes in the essence and blood at present, it is still within the controllable range.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is the main body or the avatar, the mood is still stable at this time, and quietly observe the next change of things.

Once there is an uncontrollable change, Zhang He will immediately bury it in the soil of the space, and let the soil absorb all the aura in it.

In this world of cultivating immortals, everything is based on spiritual energy, without the support of spiritual energy, no matter how great the ability is, it will become a tiger's failure.

As this mass of blood grows bigger, its aura is also slowly growing, and now it has the aura strength of the third level of Qi training.

Zhang He had to lament the horror of the undead demon king. Just a drop of blood essence can possess such a heaven-defying ability.

It has been more than a month since the blood essence changed, and it is estimated that it will take a long time. It is impossible for Zhang He to guard him all the time, so he can only temporarily put it in the space and let it change slowly.

After a period of resumption of work and production, all four mine veins resumed production, and Wen Sheng arranged for a caravan to transport the excavated spiritual mines to the Fan family.

Fan's reputation in business is not bad. As long as the quality is good, all the spiritual mines sent by the caravan will be purchased at 60% of the price as agreed. It is very happy and there is no difficulty.

A month later, another team of thousands of people rushed from Heishui County to Ningjing County.

The more than 1,000 people included a group of technicians such as Huya who had previously withdrawn.

Young master, we are back again.

Huya and Meng Tiantian were followed by more than a hundred people, more people than last time.

My lord, we brought a craftsman and an alchemist this time.

In addition, he also selected a group of talented talisman maker students, array students, and Lingzhi students from the school on his own initiative.

I thought, anyway, the main rudder of the Sun Moon Alliance does not lack the inheritance of these aspects. Our school trains so many talents every year, why not bring them here to learn more skills.

Zhang He glanced at the group of teenagers behind Huya. These people were dressed in uniform student uniforms, they were all only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were generally thin.

He knew that these trainees were all sons of sharecroppers.

Seeing that Zhang He didn't speak, Huya thought that he disagreed. This time, he made his own claim without Zhang He's consent. He was still a little guilty.

These children are quite clever. If you don't need the young master, you can leave it to my refining group. On weekdays, I will help sweep the floor and do some chores.

Since they have all been selected, let them learn these skills. In the future, three groups will be added, formation, talisman making, and spiritual planting. For the time being, these three groups will be handed over to the two of you for management.

There are many kinds of skills in the world of cultivating immortals, but the most influential ones are alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, formation, and spiritual planting.

Zhang He's men are currently only able to produce alchemy and refining tools, and other aspects have not yet been developed.

After these students have completed their studies, and then recruit some talented talents from the school, these three items can also be developed.

It is not bad for a general family to develop one of them, but Zhang He intends to develop these five in parallel.

The big difference between Heishui County and ordinary families is that there is never a shortage of outstanding talents in all aspects.

In a general family, the total population base is that much,

The probability of excellent talents appearing in it is naturally much less.

Sometimes in order to maintain noble blood, or for other reasons, inbreeding is often carried out, resulting in some defective products.

A talent among these nobles is like winning a big prize, which is enough for the whole family to pay attention to.

But there are only three members of Zhang He's family, old man Zhang only likes farming, and Zhang Yuan is obsessed with formations.

The talents selected by Zhang He were all selected from the two to three million people in Heishui County. The larger the base, the higher the probability of excellent talents.

The reason why these tenants are at the bottom of society is not that they are stupid than the nobles, let alone lazy, but that they have no resources and opportunities.

They have to work hard to fill their stomachs from birth.

Once they are given a chance, these poor people often know how to cherish it and will work harder.

Coupled with the differences in education, when they achieve results, they will know who to thank.

Gu Liangqi reports to Young Master!

A monk who looked very young came over to salute Zhang He at this time.

The Gu Liang family had already taken refuge in Zhang He, and even handed over their little land and spirit veins, but they had gained even more benefits after taking refuge in Zhang He. .

Gu Liangqi is considered to be a leader among the younger generation of the Gu Liang family. He is good at government affairs management, as Wei Peng mentioned in the secret letter he sent to Zhang He before.

This time Wei Peng transferred a large number of government officials from Heishui County, as well as a group of teachers and outstanding students selected from various schools.

Four counties have just been occupied, and a large number of talents will be needed to manage them well.

Gu Liangqi was the leader of this group of government officials.

After Gu Liangqi arrived, Zhang He arranged for him to take people into the administrative departments of the four counties to take over all administrative affairs.

The first thing Gu Liangqi did after taking over was a very offensive thing, which made him bear a lot of infamy.

He announced that all the land and resources on the land in the four counties will be taken back and owned by Mr. Zhang.

This is equivalent to direct robbery. In the land of the four counties, except for those tenants who had nothing to enjoy watching the fun, everyone else was blown up.

When Zhang He occupied the four counties, all the big nobles had either died or fled, only the remaining small nobles felt that they had nothing to do, so they surrendered to Zhang He.

Now that Gu Liangqi wants to take away all their resources with just one word, how can he be reconciled in his heart.

Now these little nobles, as well as the citizens with a small amount of property in the city, secretly want to eat Gu Liangqi alive.

Some people even planned to assassinate Gu Liangqi, but Gu Liangqi also knew that he had offended someone, so he invited the Black Water Army to guard him every day when he went in and out, making it impossible for the assassin to succeed, and instead Gu Liangqi brutally retaliated.

In the process of taking back various resources for registration and bookkeeping, we also encountered some resistance.

Gu Liangqi's method is simple and rude, and he never talks nonsense. Anyone who dares to obstruct the implementation of the policy will directly be brutally suppressed.

The Aboriginal people of the four-county land seem to be stuck in their darkest hour.

Some people harbor fantasies and want to ask to see Mr. Zhang. With Mr. Zhang's generosity and kindness, he will definitely not let Gu Liangqi do perverse things and fish the villagers.

It's just that Mr. Zhang has declared a retreat during this period, and no one can see him.

Now no one can restrain Gu Liangqi, and the people of the four counties have been tortured to the brim, suffering unspeakably, during which many families ran away.

Man is a knife and I am a fish, and everyone can only curse Gu Liang behind his back.

He scolded him for flattering Zhang He, not hesitate to search for people's fat and people's cream, drink human blood, and eat human blood steamed buns.

Its character is not as good as that of the big yellow dog behind Zhang Yuan.

Big Yellow Dog: Who did I provoke?

In this way, after half a year, the changes that have taken place in the four counties are even more exciting than the 10,000 years in history.

The people of the four counties have all been reduced to tenants, and all kinds of resources have been confiscated by Gu Liangqi, and humbly handed over to Zhang He.

As long as the land of the four counties is where the sun shines, it is owned by Zhang He, and where the sun does not shine, Zhang He has the final right of interpretation.

In this case, Zhang He finally came out at the right time.

Gu Liangqi handed over the sorted accounts of the four counties to Zhang He.

My lord, this is the current household registration and resource registration form of the four counties, please have a look at it.

Zhang He took over the account book and quickly looked through it, feeling very satisfied in his heart. Sure enough, professional things still need professional people to do them.

After such a toss by Gu Liangqi, the foundation of the four counties was laid, and it became much easier to carry out other operations afterwards.

The news of Zhang He's exit came out soon, and at the same time, there was also a very happy news.

It is said that Mr. Zhang was very dissatisfied with Gu Liangqi's behavior after leaving the customs, and angrily reprimanded him.

This let the people who had suffered enough from the oppression of Guliang Qi let out a sigh of relief, and their favor towards Zhang He increased greatly.

After a few days, Mr. Zhang ordered to return part of the property collected by Gu Liangqi earlier.

This moved the residents of the four counties once again. They felt that they had finally turned the clouds and saw the sun, and they saw hope in life again.

After all these properties were distributed, after a while, Mr. Zhang ordered again that although the land was confiscated, the residents could still live in their original site for free without charging any rent.

This time, the residents of the four counties were directly moved to tell each other, saying that Mr. Zhang was kind to everyone.

After Zhang He finished tossing about these small nobles, small landlords, and city residents, he turned his attention to the most extensive group of tenant farmers.

For the tenants, the greatest favor is the reduction of rent and interest, so that they can have enough food.

These are easy for Zhang He. Now all the fields are owned by Zhang He, and the land rent has dropped from 50% to 30%.

After the land rent was reduced by 20%, unpaid corvee labor was canceled and paid employment was replaced.

All management systems are implemented in accordance with the methods of Heishui County.

Of course, the most important part is education, which was subsequently promoted in the four counties, and schools were being built in various places to recruit students.

Another year passed, and the battle between the Sun Moon Alliance, the Ji Clan, and the Chen Clan came to an end for the time being.

The three forces form a tripartite confrontation, restricting each other to form a stable balance, and no one can annex the other.

Among the three forces, the Ji family is the strongest, owning four Nascent Souls, and his subordinates are the strongest among the three, whether they are Jindan or territory.

The Sun-Moon Alliance is the weakest, with only three Nascent Soul cultivators, and one is seriously injured and has not been able to fully recover. In terms of top-level combat power, it is equivalent to only two and a half.

The structure of each subordinate rudder is also relatively loose, a bit similar to the enfeoffment system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Each sub-rudder is a small prince, and each sub-rudder has strong autonomy.

This kind of organizational form is really easy to fall apart after a hard fight.

After the Sun Moon League gained a firm foothold in Chen Guo, it moved the position of the headquarter to Anqing City, and renamed Anqing City to Ming City.

To gain a firm foothold, from a state of wandering to owning a territory, for the Sun Moon Alliance, it is something worth celebrating, and its meaning is equivalent to the founding of a country.

In a large square in the center of Ming City, the three elders personally presided over this celebration.

Apart from the boring and lengthy speeches of the elders, the most exciting thing about this kind of celebration is the rewards for each army.

Each sub-helm sent a team to participate in the battle, the team was strong or weak, and each made some meritorious deeds on the battlefield. At this time, the most hopeful thing is to show it up and let others know how powerful they are.

Zhang He sat among a group of rudder masters, watching each team pass by in high spirits.

Luochuan is at the helm. In this battle, a total of 15 foundation builders and 400 Qi practitioners have been killed, and a total of 350 contribution points have been awarded!

The sub-rudder master stationed in Luochuan stood up and waved to everyone.

Killing an enemy on the battlefield is based on the opponent's cultivation level. Killing a qi practitioner only counts half of the contribution points, foundation building counts as 10, and golden core counts as 100.

At this time, another majestic team passed by.

Xiaxian sub-helm has killed two Jindan, 40 foundation builders, and 800 Qi practitioners in this battle. A total of 1,000 contribution points have been obtained.

This result is the highest result that has been seen so far. As soon as it was reported, there was a sound of exclamation from the surrounding area.

A rudder standing next to Zhang He immediately stood up with a red face and waved to everyone around him.

This was the most glorious moment. Xia County's helmsman waved to the surrounding helmsmen with a smile on his face, until the next team appeared, and then sat down reluctantly.

Seeing the envious eyes of several helmsmen around him gave him a sense of accomplishment.

The only fly in the ointment was that Zhang He, who was sitting next to him, seemed indifferent to his achievements, and just congratulated him perfunctorily.

He had been upset with Zhang He for a long time. He didn't understand why Mei Yingxue didn't look at him, but liked the person in front of him, even though he was a talented person with extraordinary aptitude.

I'm talking about Zhang Tuozhu, your sub-rudder is the biggest sub-rudder of our Sun Moon Alliance. You can't fall behind this time, otherwise you won't be able to mention the biggest name in the future.

Zhang He glanced at him like an idiot, and only replied with a dry laugh, Ha ha!

This made him even more upset. He only knew that Ningjing County had only sent 41 people to join the battle. He didn't know that He Xiaoyu led 100 Foundation Establishment troops to join the battle. What results could 41 people achieve?

Everything must be matched with the corresponding strength. If you don't have the strength to occupy something that shouldn't be possessed, you will only bring yourself humiliation!

Xia Xian's helmsman felt angry when he thought that Mei Yingxue looked down on him, and the feeling of hitting a wall again and again was full of tears.

The person in front of him looked mediocre and nothing extraordinary, so he didn't know what despicable method he used to trick Mei Yingxue into his favor.
