I do research in ancient times

"So you said before that you can't do it because you don't have the money to update it, right?"

——System Intelligence: Yes dear, there is no way to update it yet.

Ning Fei pressed the throbbing forehead, and suddenly felt that the dog system's rainbow fart didn't smell very good anymore.

"Okay."

He thought for a while, reached out and turned back to the previous crop interface.

"I will treat you as a farming system, and you can get me some good varieties of corn and sweet potatoes, as well as chili soybeans and rice."

"You should still call me the host. Your relative is Yue Wanfeng. The name is the same. I always feel that grass will grow on my head."

- System Intelligence: ...

- System intelligence: a good host.

——System intelligence: But the main task can only reward the same, what kind of crop does the host want?

Ning Fei: Children only make choices, and adults naturally want to.

——System intelligence: Host, you are not so good...

Ning Fei: Don't be naughty, you can borrow usurious loans for Yue Wanzha, and you still want to fool me that the rules are unbreakable, do you really think I am stupid and sweet?

Ning Fei: Don't ask, just ask.Do you think a scumbag is the end?Don't be naive, I must ask for more than my predecessor, if you don't have enough points, you can sell your status again.

- System Intelligence: ...

——System intelligence: at most two, no more is really impossible!

Ning Fei: All right, then corn and sweet potatoes, and tomatoes and peppers.

——System Intelligence: Kiss, kiss!Really can't deliver!

Ning Fei: If you can't deliver it, you can pay on credit first, and I will pay in installments.

Ning Fei: You choose the seeds and send them away, and the quantity is enough. Don't try to mess with it.You are now Lao Tzu's control. If I don't work, your control will have to be powered off.From the perspective of your selection, tomorrow will definitely not be better, and maybe the next one will be worse than the previous one.

Ning Fei: Besides, didn’t I help you pay off the debt, then I am your beneficiary now.You should also be sensible, and take good care of your benefactor father, so that you will be able to eat well in the future.

After some bargaining, Ningfei got his wish and got 4 kinds of crops, and got 100 system points.

Ning Fei: What about side missions?

System intelligence: ...Okay, pay daddy immediately.

Before the system was powered off, he still had a side mission that he hadn't handed in, so he gained another 1 mall point.Because Ning Fei has advanced the technological progress of this era, the system also rewarded him with an additional 50 mall points based on his current contribution.

Of course, these are automatically issued after the system calculates, and it has nothing to do with the intelligence of the dog.

Ning Fei: I have advanced the technical line so much, so you have nothing to say?

- System Intelligence: ...

——System Intelligence: The system has issued additional rewards to the host, please pay attention to check.

Ning Fei: What does that have to do with you?A system is a system, and you are at best a customer service.

Ning Fei: The system has been supplied with energy because of my hard work. Doesn't that mean saving your life?It's all because of your poor vision, and you dare to increase leverage when investing in junk stocks. You deserve it for losing your pants.

Ning Fei: Speaking of which, it's really unlucky to say that this technological system has been implicated by you until it runs out of battery. Wouldn't it be better for you to break up with the scumbag earlier?

Ning Fei: You have to think about repaying me for saving your life, Tong.

- System Intelligence: ...

——System Intelligence: You can only give the host a lucky turntable once!The host has seen all the property!

Ning Saw nodded.

"Okay, the lottery is the lottery."

——System Intelligence: Does the host want to smoke now?

As he said that, a huge roulette appeared in front of Ning Fei, spinning continuously.

Ning Fei didn't move.

He shook his head.

"No, not now, save it for later when you upgrade the treasury."

"Your family is so poor now, you can only draw a low-level blueprint or a seed, I don't like it.

Ning Fei: Remember to activate advanced rewards when you upgrade next time!If you don't have enough points, you can go for a loan like Yue Wanzha did back then, and remember to owe me a lottery draw! "

- System Intelligence: ...

So angry!

But keep smiling!

The hosts are all big pigs!

After running out of customer service, Ning Saozi opened the panel contentedly, and began to check the new main quest.

- Survival (main mission).

The second stage: Grain accumulation (100% x 180 days).

In the first year of the Little Ice Age, the climate will begin to change. The host is requested to ensure that the natural survival rate of the Mozong population exceeds 70% (deaths due to force majeure such as wars and accidents are not counted), and harvest 4 catties of grain.The task settlement is at [-]:[-]:[-]:[-] on the day of the autumnal equinox.

Rewards: System points x150, random craft, blueprint or crop x1, and chance to get a turntable lottery.

If the task fails, the system will charge a fine of 200 points to the forced host, and the host with insufficient fine will be directly wiped out.

The host can check the population survival rate and task deadline in the task panel at any time.

Side tasks:

——Daily Management of Zongmen ([-])

Complete a sect research topic.

Reward: System points x1.

——Detect that the task has been completed, whether to submit the result?

of course.

Then he got 1 mall point, counting the rewards he got before, a total of 153 mall points.

Ning Fei opened the mall panel again.

There are a lot of good things in the mall, but the exchange points marked below are not friendly at all. He can use up all 153 points, and he can just exchange for a water cone.

Planning drawings that don't involve technology are not too expensive. A design drawing of the city's sewer pipeline that he urgently needs only costs 150 mall points, and it also comes with a pottery pipe firing method and a guide for using elbows.

Ning Fei thought it was a good deal, but he could only look at it greedily, he was not willing to use up the points in his hand.

The fine for the next main quest is 200 points. With all his savings now, he has been working hard on side quests during this period, and he should be able to save enough for the fine before autumn.

For this main mission, Ning Zazi actually has no confidence.

His main business is not farming. Food has been dependent on the weather since ancient times. Temperature, sunshine, and moisture are all indispensable.

Now that we have entered the Little Ice Age, God knows what kind of disastrous weather will appear, so we can't be too optimistic.

Of course, the corn and sweet potatoes he exchanged this time are all disaster-resistant grains, and his chances of winning are much higher than before.But it's not too early to prepare for the worst, even if you fail, you can at least get a chance to save your life.

Thinking of the Little Ice Age, Ning Fei felt heavy in his heart.

Mo Zong is currently stuck outside the Great Wall, if the Feng family can continue to work hard until the end of the year, at least everyone will be safe and the population will not be reduced due to combat.

Although the system also said that "deaths caused by force majeure such as wars and accidents are not counted", but with the current technical conditions, there is no way to grow food without people, and it cannot be fully cultivated, and the autumn harvest is destined to be insufficient.When it comes to settlement, the system doesn't care whether you are short of manpower for farming due to the reduction of personnel due to battle.

Besides, after half a year of getting along with each other, he and all the members of Mozong have become acquainted. Although everyone has flaws, they can be regarded as companions who have starved and worked together. He really does not want to see them die because of the war. lost life.

After the beginning of spring, plan the planting area carefully, plant potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, and then step up the construction of the city. Industrialization is the best medicine to survive the Little Ice Age. At least we must create weapons that can protect ourselves.

I hope that the Feng family and Mu Ye brothers will work harder, don't disappoint their Mo Zong's gift of swords, and protect this land well.

Ning Shaozi was thinking about the infrastructure, but he didn't know that someone was thinking about him in Hengshou City far away in the Central Plains.

Xue Yixiao brought his two siblings back to Hengshou City, and the first thing he did when he entered the mansion was to meet his own father, Xue Cheng.

When he set off, he pulled several carts of weapons, and they didn't see any decrease when he came back. As soon as Xue Yixiao entered Hengshou City, the news of his failure to sell knives spread throughout the house.So when he walked into his father's study, Xue Cheng's face was as black as an iron pot.

Seeing his son enter the door, Xue Cheng snorted coldly.

"You still have the face to come back?!"

Hearing this, Xue Yixiao scratched his head and forced a smile on his chubby face.

"Father, Ding'an City is remote, and it's not easy for me to travel this way. I also brought two young children with me. There is no merit but hard work."

When he heard him talking about Xue Huiyue's siblings, Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"What does the Feng family say? When are you going to resign?"

"Feng Family..."

Xue Yixiao let out a dry laugh.

"Father, when my son went to Ding'an City this time, all the soldiers he saw were shabby and listless. I also inquired about the situation of the Feng family in private..."

"Yi'er got the news that this Feng family is far from being as good as the rumors from the outside world. The border town is suffering from bitter cold and decay, and the military pay and food in the court cannot be delivered in full. The Feng family has been trying to support it with all their money.

"Such a dilapidated household may not be able to borrow strength, and maybe they will come here from time to time to fight the autumn wind, and our daughter will suffer from marrying in the past."

"Hmph, sophistry!"

Xue Cheng patted the table.

"Don't try to shirk responsibility! You are usually glib, but you don't understand this matter, you are such a waste!"

"father--"

Xue Yixiao apologized.

"Don't be angry, listen to your son first.

"I went with sincerity. First, I sent a box of swords to the Feng family as a gift, and I also asked about Ah Yue."

"result……"

Speaking of hitting here, Xue Yixiao suddenly sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"Father, guess what? The Feng family didn't answer Ah Yue's words at all, and said that our knives are too expensive, and they don't have enough money to spend so much money."

"Oh?"

Xue Cheng frowned.

"Shouldn't."

The middle-aged man in the wide-sleeved robe stroked his beard.

"It shouldn't be! Didn't Xue Yiluan just call Yong Xiguan? It's impossible for the Feng family to send troops to the Lion House without money."

Hearing what his father said, Xue Yixiao also nodded.

"That's right, my son also finds it strange."

"My son was worried that Changzhou had done something wrong, so he sent someone to investigate secretly, and found a strange thing in the end."

Having said that, Xue Yixiao paused for a moment, intending to make a fool of himself.

He did not do well this time, so his father will inevitably blame him. He Xue Yixiao is a disciple of the Second Household, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, but he is not the only son of the Second Household!

He also has two half-brothers, who are the legitimate sons left by the former room, who are even more valuable than Xue San.He can't let these two people take advantage of him and take away his position in Longevity City!

Sure enough, Xue Cheng's expression froze slightly, and he stretched his neck unconsciously.

"What did you find out?"

Xue Yixiao smiled, with a rather smug look on his face.

"I don't know if dad still remembers the Nanjun Lu Clan's rebellion case. A side line of the Lu Clan conspired to take over the position of the direct branch of the clan. Later, he was expelled from Qijiang City by the head of the family, Lu Tao. The boat capsized in the middle of the night, and the whole family died on the Nanjiang River?"

"nature."

Xue Cheng nodded.

It is rare for the Lu family in Nanjun to have gossip, and this is another public scandal, but it made all the aristocratic families laugh.

But all the laughs, the internal strife in the Lu family also let everyone see Lu Tao's decision to kill.

Originally thought that the brothers of the Lu family's generation were ignorant literati, but they didn't expect that Lu Tao would be so decisive in cleaning up the family conflicts, showing no mercy at all.That branch of the Lu family, with a family of more than a hundred people, capsized directly on the Nanjiang River, and all of them were buried in the bottom of the water.

The direct branch of the Lu family has controlled the waterways of the Nanjiang River for generations, not Lu Tao, who else has such ability! ?Now that there is no water in Qijiang City, the two brothers Lu Tao and Lu Bei are really good at it!

"Why are you so good, you think of this again?"

Xue Cheng frowned, but saw his son smiling meaningfully.

"Father, I saw a man in Ding'an City, but he looked exactly like that child prodigy from the Lu family."
