Humane Yongchang

Chapter 133 Raising Food
Chen Sheng leaned on the sharp sword in one hand, and stood silently in the center of the courtyard with his eyes closed.

In his mind, there are thousands of shouts and killings that fill the boundless plains covered with lead clouds.

The spear is broken.

The battle flag fell.

There are only black and red between the sky and the earth.

Black is the enemy.

Red is blood.

He was in it.

Slashing forward with his sword.

In the simple and straight sword light.

One by one, the grotesque and ferocious objects, even people and armor, were chopped in half by his sword light.

The tyrannical evil spirit soaked his sanity.

It made him constantly and frantically squeeze every bit of strength in his body!
Eight points are not enough!

That's nine points!

Nine points are not enough!

That's very!

Ten is not enough!
That's two ten...

Killing an enemy with one sword is not fast enough!
Then kill two enemies with one sword!
Killing two enemies with one sword is not fast enough!
Then kill three enemies with one sword!
Killing three enemies with one sword can't catch up!

Then work hard and kill four enemies with one sword.

Simple sword light.

Divide before his eyes!
It seems that the sword in his hand is no longer just a cold weapon.

Instead, it became an AK!

Following his will, a sword swept out a row of bullets, piercing through all the enemies in sight!
……

One after another invisible energy, like a blade, hovered around his body.

Autumn winds.

Pieces of withered and yellow leaves fell off the pear trees, playing happily in the wind, passing through the empty courtyard.

When passing Chen Sheng.

No sword light flashed.

The intact leaves were silently turned into debris, brushing over him.

It seems that Chen Sheng's body has turned into broken leaves and is dissipating...

I do not know how long it has been.

Chen Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, resisted the urge to destroy his heart, stomped his feet and raised his sword and jumped up. After taking a glance at the people and things in the courtyard, he swung his sword towards a section of the empty courtyard wall. Cut off the sword.

"Boom."

He landed heavily, and the dark bronze sword, Jian Feng, stopped calmly three inches from the ground, and invisible force spurted out along the sword blade and fell on the blue brick courtyard wall, "Bang" A large cloud of smoke exploded.

"clang.

The sword's edge fell to the ground, Chen Sheng gasped violently and dragged the sword to his front, leaning on the sword and slowly straightening his waist, and forcing such a powerful ultimate move at the first level of the heart to open the pulse, it was still a little too reluctant.

Looking at the front courtyard wall, you can see that on the flat courtyard wall, a depression the size of the mouth of a water tank has appeared. The depression is full of dense light spots that look like briquettes... That is the force that penetrates the courtyard wall. , through the light!

Chen Sheng looked at it, slowly frowned and wrinkled.

The power of piercing armor in a hundred battles, paired with the peak-level Seven Killing Sword, the power of this sword should never be just like this!
But now, it is no longer the realm of swordsmanship and the realm of martial arts that limits the power of his swordsmanship.

But his realm of strength!

No matter how unparalleled the swordsmanship is, the more exquisite the exercises are.

Insufficient strength is also useless.

Just like this sword.

If he has the strength of Chen Dao, he can differentiate twenty or thirty sword qi with one sword!

But martial arts cannot be accomplished overnight.

Cultivation in the open pulse period is no longer just cultivating the source of the flesh.

It also began to involve the practice of the meridians.

Through the meridians, the blood energy and strength are condensed into strength that is more freely controlled.

Then through the reverse development of the meridians, the potential of the physical body is further developed while strengthening the strength.

Compared with the body forging stage, the cultivation in the open pulse period is more detailed and needs to be more stable.

Chen Sheng felt that even if he had the help of the mentally retarded system, he could ensure that he could walk on the right path quickly and easily. It would be difficult to complete this stage of practice without a year and a half.

However, the strength increase brought about by the promotion of body forging to open the pulse is indeed obvious.

Especially for Chen Sheng's technical realm, which is far higher than the realm of strength.

The simplest example.

At the time of body forging, even if he could hit two or three thousand pounds with a single punch, he would be blind if he couldn't hit anyone.

After turning his energy into strength, he has been able to perform some delicate operations similar to "fighting a cow across the mountain".

Don't talk about the second-level expectations of being invincible at the same level and fighting over the same level.

At least with the blessing of the Seven Killing Swords, he has been able to harvest the weak like mowing grass!
……

"Clap clap clap."

A crisp applause awakened Chen Sheng, who was staring at the wall in trance. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhang Ji sitting on the threshold inside the gate with his legs crossed, applauding boredly.

Looking at his powerless appearance, it is obvious that he has been here for a while, and it hurts to wait.

"Why didn't you call me here?"

Chen Sheng couldn't help but smiled, and turned around to meet his sword.

But he only took a few steps when a cold little hand grabbed his ear, pulled him into a spin, and turned around.

Then, he saw Zhao Qinghu standing in front of him with a face on his face, with one hand on his waist, his tall and slender figure quickly enlarged, drowning Chen Sheng, who was not as tall as her, in her shadow.

She picked up two willow-leaf eyebrows and bulged her eyes, and said fiercely: "Last time it was the main room, this time it is the courtyard wall. Do you want to demolish this house to be satisfied? Can you live a good life?"

Chen Sheng's tall and straight waist collapsed, and his whole body suddenly froze, "Eldest sister, I didn't mean it, this is because I have learned from practice, can't I hold it back?"

"You're just practicing?"

Zhao Qing was not used to him: "Father-in-law has practiced martial arts in this courtyard for so many years, and he hasn't seen him demolish that house, so you can? Do you have to demolish the house to show how good you are?"

Her world is very small.

Only this yard, these few tile-roofed houses.

She doesn't care and doesn't want to care about everything outside.

No matter how big an official Chen Sheng was outside, how many soldiers and horses he had under his command, and how majestic he was.

She doesn't care.

Anyway, as long as you enter the door.

Then Chen Sheng is still the Chen Dalang who needs her care and cannot be separated from her!
She is still Chen Sheng's eldest sister, his wife!

Chen Sheng became more and more unreasonable and angry. At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he would not be able to practice at home in the future, otherwise he couldn't help but hurt someone that day, but he would have no time to regret it: "Hey, hey, in the future. I must pay attention, I must pay attention, eldest sister, brother Ji Shi is here, save some face, save some face!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Ji hugging his stomach and laughing loudly: "Brother and sister, don't worry about me, I'm blind, I can't see anything!"

Zhao Qing's fierce expression softened a little, but his subordinates couldn't help pinching Chen Sheng's ear again, annoyed at her and making him lose his temper.

At the end, she embarrassedly bowed to Zhang Ji: "My concubine is rude, making Ji Shi brother laugh."

"No no!"

Zhang Ji waved his hands again and again: "In our few families, we have to count the most virtuous siblings!"

Chen Sheng glared at the fellow angrily, "You can go to the fire, and I'll go to your house and beat you two little brats!"

He did not put on airs with Zhang Ji.

He also did not care about Zhang Ji's attitude of not taking him as an inappropriate cadre as a county governor.

It has been a few days since he sat on Zhang Jinta's seat in the county governor's office.

During these days, several other families in the Five Alliance Alliance had sent people to the county government to visit him.

Nominally.

They all represented their respective families and came to express their support for him, the newly appointed county governor of Chen County, whose name was not right and his words were ill-mannered.

But what happened in fact.

Chen Sheng's heart is the same as Ming Jing'er.

of course.

He did not resent their attitude.

At this juncture, he really needed a group of credible and talented people to replace those Xiong's die-hard loyalists in various yamen, as well as those officials who couldn't do bad things.

There are five alliances, and the five of them are naturally the best allies.

At least in the eyes of other aristocratic families in the county, this is the case.

But no disgust is not disgusting.

To say that he can really treat these families as before.

That must be fake too!
Among the four families, only the grain merchant Zhang family did not send anyone to the prefecture.

Just sent [-] shi of grain to the granary and delivered it to Chen Hu.

Chen Sheng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

……

The two entered the hall and took their seats.

Before waiting for Chen Sheng to speak.

Zhang Ji took the initiative and said: "Tell me, I asked my brother to come here, why is it... Let's talk about it first, I don't need to talk about borrowing food, the only food I have in my hand is only enough for my family. Zizhaogu, I don’t have any more grains, even if you kill me, you will only bleed, but not rice!”

He was slumped on the Grand Master's chair with no image, with his legs crossed, more like a blind man than a head of the family.

It seems that Chen Sheng, a freshly-baked county governor, is not taken seriously at all.

This may be standing on the wall for thousands of miles, and without desire is rigid.

Chen Sheng sneered and said disdainfully, "Do you think I, the county governor, is begging for food? Will I seek alms from you when I run out of food?"

Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, held the armrest of the seat to sit upright, and said lightly: "As long as you don't mention the food, you can say nothing, brother!"

"You said it yourself!"

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Don't go back on it!"

Zhang Ji clapped his hands indifferently: "Masters, spit and nails!"

Chen Sheng sneered again, this guy plagiarized his own mantra very smoothly, "Well, I'll come to you today, not to raise money for anything else!"

Zhang Ji unsurprisingly let out a "squeak", and his whole body slid down the back of the Grand Master's chair like noodles, and the rogue said, "Then you'd better kill me."

"Listen clearly, it's raising food!"

Chen Sheng said angrily, "I didn't ask you for food!"

Zhang Ji was stunned for a while, then sat up swiftly, and said in high spirits: "You finally figured it out? Are you willing to go to Yangzhou to get food?"

Earlier, before Lu Zheng entered Chen County, Chen Sheng went to Zhang Ji to discuss the method of raising grain.

At that time, Zhang Ji suggested that his Zhang family would provide channels, and the Chen family would provide staff, and they would go to Yangzhou to bring food back together.

However, it was rejected by Chen Sheng at the time... the price was too high, and the gains outweighed the losses!
But it is the so-called this time, that time.

In the Chen family at that time, there were only the guys from the Chen family caravan on the bright side.

And now, the Chen family has four thousand red-clothed soldiers and one thousand five county soldiers on the stage!

If you really want to send troops to Yangzhou to buy grain with great fanfare, the counties you pass through may not necessarily have the guts to pull their teeth out!
"If there is really no way, this is the only way to go."

Chen Sheng replied.

Just as Zhang Ji was about to rub his hands excitedly, he heard Chen Shengyan again: "But before that, I still want to try other methods."

Zhang Ji said with a "tsk" incomprehension: "What else can be done? If there is a way, we have already thought of it, why would it be delayed until today?"

Chen Sheng didn't answer. Qu Finger tapped on the armrest of the seat and said softly, "Brother Ji, although I don't know much about farming, I vaguely remember that there seems to be food that can be sown right now, and it can be harvested in spring next year after wintering."

Zhang Ji frowned tightly, not knowing what medicine he bought in the gourd, but he still replied: "You mean Sumai, right? Sumai is indeed overwintering, but it needs both the fertility of the fields and the rain. , Now that there is no rain in March, the fields are dry and cracked, and weeds are still difficult to take root and sprout, not to mention the wheat?”

The problem, back to the rain.

Chen Sheng tapped the armrest of the seat and pondered for a long time, then said again, "What if I have a way to solve the problem of rain?"

Zhang Ji looked at him wryly, as if he was looking at a big fool, and after a few breaths, he said softly, "Brother Sheng, you don't know how to farm, you don't know how much grain is produced in the field, and the good fields are not good enough to produce grain. More than a thousand stones, only using manpower to carry water to irrigate the fields and grow food is like putting out a salary to fight a fire, but if the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished.”

The implication: Big fool, stay awake and stop daydreaming!

Chen Sheng shook his face solemnly, and said solemnly: "Brother Ji, I'm not kidding you, I really have a solution... Just answer me, if I can solve the problem of rain, you will be able to grow food! "

He has calculated the problem.

Only take the Little Cloud Rain Technique, which is just a beginner's level, as the standard, irrigate a hundred acres of farmland, and consume 200 Qi Luck Points.

Once the rain is spread, it can last for six or seven days in midsummer, and in autumn and winter, this time can at least double.

Take fifteen days as the standard for calculation.

Fifteen acres, [-] acres of hectares, and raining once, but only [-] points.

And his current upper limit of luck points is 7400 points, 740 points are recovered every day, and it is 15 points on the 11100th!
That is to say, as long as the frequency and time of rain distribution are properly controlled, his luck point can support the rain distribution needs of three hundred hectares of fields at this stage!

This is still a little cloud rain technique for beginners to level up.

When the appointment letter of the county governor of the subsequent state capital comes down, the upper limit of his luck point will be raised by a lot.

And now.

What he lacks the most is farmland and manpower!
As long as spring begins next year, I can get another five or six thousand shi of grain.

Chen Jun's breath, even if he was out of breath!

Seeing that he was so serious, Zhang Ji finally put aside his playful thoughts and said seriously: "If you can really solve the problem of rain, my Zhang family has excellent wheat seeds, and there are sages in the farm family. Uh, farmland and tenants, you have to figure out your own way, you can no longer play the idea of ​​brother's ancestral property, if brother wants to lose the family again, your uncle will pop out of the coffin and slap brother with big ears!"

"A peasant sage?"

Chen Sheng ignored his petty arrogance, seized the important information revealed in his words, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Ji replied: "Your family is a business family, I don't know that farming is normal... A hundred years ago, there was a great sage who tabooed Xing Xing and practiced farming for decades. With enough food and clothing, under their hoes, the farmland that produces one stone of grain can increase the yield of three or four stones, and for our grain family, it is a talent more precious than rare treasures!"

Chen Sheng stared at him with wide eyes, and secretly said "Fuck" in his heart, and said incredulously: "There is such a big baby, you only tell me now?"

Zhang Ji sneered angrily: "Didn't you just tell my brother today that you can solve the problem of rain?"

Chen Sheng:  …

He suddenly felt that he might have underestimated these big families who have been able to establish a foothold in a certain industry for hundreds of years.

His family had a lieutenant uncle who commanded [-] soldiers.

The Zhang family enshrines peasant sages who are comparable to the contemporary Grandpa Yuan.

What about other aristocratic families?
Chen Sheng couldn't sit still, got up three steps and walked to Zhang Ji in two steps, pulled him up and was about to walk out: "Walk around, take me to see that sage!"

Zhang Ji was taken aback by him, and hurriedly stood up and pressed him back on the chair: "Don't, don't, no, you are the county governor now, how can you go to see a farmer at a break? This is going to spread, you, the county governor of Chen County. Do you still do it? If you want to see me, I will send someone to bring them!"

Chen Sheng smiled, grabbed his arm with his backhand, and said, "I won't say polite words, you can think of me in everything, as a brother, I naturally can't lose you, the head of the county office. The position, in charge of the whole county's mulberry farming... Don't refuse, I know you don't care about this, but you have to think about it for my two nephews!"

Zhang Ji hesitated for a few breaths, then smiled and said: "Then let's say it first, when you enter the gate of the county government, you are an adult, I am a subordinate, and when you leave the gate of the county government, you and I are brothers from the world, Qing Niang. If you don’t want to see me, you have to pay respects, and if you don’t agree, I’ve never heard those words!”

Chen Sheng took his hand and pressed it hard: "In!"
