Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Zhang He left Dehua City this time, he seemed very calm, and no one from the Black Tiger Hall came to trouble him again.

Presumably, the two hall masters of the Black Tiger Hall died one after another, and their vitality must have been seriously injured.

After returning to Qifeng Mountain, apart from practicing, Zhang He only read books. Even the boiled sweet potatoes that he sells to the rice shopkeeper every day, he also arranged for Ma Gan to deliver them with two people.

It took Zhang He more than a month to finish reading all the books he bought. It was considered to have some understanding of the world, but it added more doubts.

In the several books he has read, it is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a history of tens of thousands of years, which seems to be true.

Moreover, it is mentioned in many books that immortals, demons, and demons, Zhang He has always felt that these three kinds belong to the existence of feudal superstition, and the words are conclusive, making it difficult for Zhang He to distinguish the truth from the fake.

"If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak." Now he can't confirm or deny it, so he can only talk about it later.

In the book Zhang He bought, there is a vague map, which shows the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the various princely states that were enfeoffed in various places.

After searching for a long time, he finally found the location of Dehua County in an inconspicuous place on the map.

As for smaller units such as Heishui Town and Zhangjialing, they are not on the map.

On the map, Dehua County is located in the northwest corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It belongs to the fiefdom of Earl Lu Yuan and is called the State of Lu.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu State could only be regarded as a small country. From Lu State to the west, there was another Sui State.

The Sui Kingdom no longer belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty any further to the west, but a barren land of exile. It is said that the monster clan expelled by King Ping was in the west of the Sui Kingdom.

No matter how strange this world is, it has nothing to do with him for the time being. He has to gain a firm foothold here before talking about it.

Although he has an immortal master to protect his body, he doesn't know how long the rumors can last. With these tyrannical eating habits, it is easy for his property to be annexed and become a tenant again.

In the past few days, in addition to practicing "Thirteen Swords of Chasing Souls and Death", Zhang He also started to practice the newly acquired "Chasing Wind Without Shadow Step".

According to the information Zhang He learned from the book, in addition to the immortal way practiced by immortal practitioners, there is also a martial way in this world.

It is said that martial arts is no worse than immortality, and both of them can obtain great supernatural powers after they have successfully practiced, and it is no problem to fly to the sky and escape from the earth.

However, the cultivation of Immortal Dao has relatively high requirements for talent and aptitude, and only a few people can practice it.

Practicing martial arts has a wider range of adaptation, and almost everyone can practice it, but the progress of practice is more difficult and slow.

Moreover, no matter whether it is cultivating immortals or martial arts, they are all under the control of a few people, and strict restrictions are strictly prohibited from easily spreading them to the outside world.

No wonder Wei Peng was so excited when he heard that he was asked to learn "Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing and Death".

Zhang He's practice of "Chasing the Wind without Shadow Step" also progressed very quickly, and it took only more than ten days to get started.

Now a light jump is three or four meters away, and it is extremely neat to climb a tree or a wall or something.

However, there is a huge difference in the style of the two exercises he is currently practicing, one is fierce and the other is light.

While performing "Chasing Wind without Shadow Step", it is difficult to switch to "Chasing Soul Thirteen Knives" at the same time.

The "Chasing the Wind without Shadow Step" obtained by Zhang Hexin this time is not intended to be taught to everyone, it is not that he cherishes his skills.

The main reason was that food wasted too much. He discovered that with the improvement of "Thirteen Knives" practice, everyone's food intake has been greatly improved.

A person can eat a few catties of rice every day, not to mention old man Zhang, even Zhang He is heartbroken. If he eats more, he really can't support these people.

However, it is impossible to disband the armed forces that he managed to organize.

Bandits from all walks of life are tyrannical and powerful, and they will be needed to protect their own territory in the future.

However, while these people's food intake has increased greatly, their strength has also increased a lot, and the efficiency of land reclamation work has greatly improved.

In the past month or so, another 20 acres of wasteland have been reclaimed, and soybeans have also been planted.

The 20 acres of soybeans planted in the last batch have grown several inches deep bean seedlings, but there are a lot of weeds.

Arranged for those who are younger, they will be responsible for weeding the soybean fields in the future.

The rest were mobilized to build a pig house and a sheep house down the stream.

There are ready-made big trees and thatch cut down when opening up wasteland. These days, people live in thatched sheds, and naturally there is no need to pay too much attention to pig houses and sheep houses. Simply build two shacks.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the grass and trees are starting to grow, and there are a lot of wild vegetables in the wasteland, just enough to raise some pigs and sheep.

Pig and sheep manure can just be used as fertilizer for the land, which kills two birds with one stone.

After a few days, two rough but solid shacks were ready.

There was a market in Heishui Town today. Zhang He took a few strong men to Heishui Town to sell some dried sweet potato vines, and bought some pigs and sheep to raise.

Now it's the season when spring and summer intersect. Although everyone has survived the most difficult winter and many wild vegetables grow in the fields, most of the food in the family has already been eaten.

Even the wild vegetables in the ground can't stand everyone's digging all day long, and they really can't grow.

Therefore, at the entrance of the market, there is already a row of tenants or refugees who are selling their children.

A boy from the Wan family was picking and choosing among a bunch of people, offering one price that was lower than the other.

Generally, four or five-year-old children can only be sold for a few hundred yuan, and those who are older by seven or eight years old and have already learned how to work are slightly more expensive.

In addition to owning almost all the land in Heishui Town, Wanjia also has a thriving population business, which is a major source of income for Wanjia.

Renyazi bought the population at a very low price, and then sorted them into different categories after returning home.

Generally older ones are of little value and are sold directly to others as slaves.

As for the younger ones, some of them were sold to the rich families as servants.

The rest of the girls who look good will be sent to Dehua County, where there is a special training institution for prostitutes.

These little girls have been teaching piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, various etiquettes, and especially various skills on how to cater to men since they were a few years old.

When it grows to more than ten years old, it will be resold to various brothels again.

From the initial purchase with a few hundred pennies to the brothel at the end, the price has to be at least ten times higher. Some of them are beautiful and talented, and they can even be sold for dozens or even hundreds of dollars.

There is a whole chain of interests in it, Wanjia can only get a small part of it, and they are already making a lot of money.

Zhang He led the people to buy five sheep in the market, which was already the entire number of sheep in the whole market.

As for the piglets, there was nothing for sale in the market today, so we had to give up.

I remembered what old man Zhang told me to buy another rooster for him, so that he could incubate a brood of chicks and raise a large flock of chickens next year.

So I bought another big cock that looked very energetic.

At this time, he looked at the large group of people who were selling children and daughters, and there were three selling wives among them.

Ren Yazi was touching this and pinching that in the crowd, trying to lower the price, and the population business in Heishui Town was monopolized by Wanjia.

At a time when the crops are so green and the tenants cannot survive, it is a feast for the young people.

If Zhang He hadn't gotten space by accident and survived the winter successfully, the current situation might be even worse than these people.

Zhang He approached the crowd and glanced at them. These people were all sallow and thin, and some of them had wet tears on their faces.

He grew up in a civilized society since he was a child, and he really couldn't look directly at this kind of misery. Besides, he now has a certain strength and can do more things.

"Recruitment of coolies on Qifeng Mountain, male or female, two meals a day, daily wages!"

As soon as the words fell, it was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, causing a huge commotion.

Many people hugged their children, or dragged their wives who were about to sell, and surrounded them together.

Including the refugees in the distance, they all gathered here.

None of them are lazy, they just can't find a job to do. Now that they have a job opportunity, it is equivalent to saving a life.

What Zhang He can do is to provide a job opportunity so that they can work and support themselves. Only mutual benefit can last long.
