Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 158

From now on, let alone Chinchilla rebellion, he can be taken into the pasture with a single thought.

To kill or cut, it all depends on one's own thoughts.

Moreover, the ranch that has been upgraded once will be able to accommodate spiritual creatures in the foundation period in the future.

Since he could speed up the repair, Shi Zhongkui tried to propose an upgrade again, and this time the required merit became 100.

The level of spiritual things that can be contained has also reached the Nascent Soul stage.

But the cultivation speed is not increased by ten times, but doubled.

But this is already considered cheating.

The speed of weight gain of animals such as cattle, horses and sheep has also become +30 catties per day.

If you put chickens, ducks and geese in it, the chickens and ducks will grow up in half a day, and the geese can be slaughtered in only one day.

This is simply a super meat production base.

If he grows up and is not caught out, he will absorb the spiritual energy little by little and change to the direction of the spiritual pet.

However, if you want to cultivate spiritual pets on a large scale, it may take several years to cultivate spiritual creatures in the foundation period.

After all, Jinmaoshu has been practicing for decades before reaching the third level of Qi training.

If that's the case, it's better to focus on training.

After all, not to mention the Qi training period, even the spiritual objects of the Transcending Tribulation period are also cannon fodder in the heavenly court.

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help thinking about upgrading again, but the cost of the third upgrade was indeed 1000.

Looking at the remaining 12001 points of merit in the space bar, he hesitated again.

Spending merit on spiritual things is really not as good as improving one's own strength.Or save it and go back to Heaven.

And if you guessed right, the fourth upgrade must be 1. How is this different from the routines in the game?
Even if my head was kicked by a donkey, I wouldn't do that.

The more merits you have, the less people will kill you at will in the future.

Although the theory of cause and effect, as long as your soul is gone, there will be no cause and effect.

But the thing of merit will definitely offset the merit of others.

Just when he was thinking of letting it go, Space Farm suddenly sent out a reminder that the spiritual energy absorption could not keep up with the consumption.

Shi Zhongkui immediately cursed in his heart.

For the first time, his eyes were also set on the well on the farm.

Sure enough, the consumption of upgrading to +1 water well directly increased by 10 times, becoming 100 merits.

Needless to say +2 is definitely 1000.

Fortunately, after spending 1100 merits, although the spirit peach still matures in 100 days, the red fruit still ripens once a year.

But Lingtao became 30 peaches a catty, and Zhuguo also increased from five to 15.

Now that this step has been reached, it is impossible not to upgrade the 110 points of merit of the farm.

Farm +2, pasture +2, well +2.

Peach and red fruit are also all +2, and the aura contained in them has increased by 2 times.

After careful calculation, it means that the harvest of peaches and red fruits has doubled, and the efficacy has doubled, so my cultivation speed must be more than 2 times.

It seems that there is no loss, and even a profit.

Even Shi Zhongkui faintly felt that he seemed to have miscalculated.

"My lord, my lord?"

Hearing Yan Guixiang, the governor of the Daxing capital, calling him, Shi Zhongkui came back to his senses, and heard Yan Guixiang say, "All the accounts have been sorted out.

The grain and dried fish can also be transported to the warehouse of the household department after being dried and smoked.Sir, is there anything else you want to order? "

Shi Zhongkui subconsciously looked at Daxing Land who was hidden beside him.

Seeing him nodding, he felt relieved and agreed with Yan Guixiang's words.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk this time, a group of people couldn't help but feel relieved.

At the same time, some people regretted not doing something about rice and dried fish.

If it doesn't affect the amount of merit Shi Zhongkui has obtained, he will definitely not go to war like last time.

But on the other hand, after Shi Zhongkui killed that person, he would definitely implicate his whole family.

As long as the three generations of children and grandchildren cannot study and take imperial examinations, it is guaranteed that some officials will stare at their family's fields and property.

Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will only be at the bottom of society after two or three generations.
-
After another three days, the 9-mu paddy field in Wanping was also harvested, and again without any accidents, he gained [-] points of merit.

Shi Zhongkui smiled and looked at the number 19791 displayed in the space merit column, which was not the merit that was consumed a few days ago in heartache.

But within a few days, his expression became gloomy again.

This year I was influenced by myself, and there were quite a few squires who followed me to raise fish in the rice fields.

According to the calculation of the land in Daxing, Wanping, and Changping, there are a full 5 mu of rice fields.

But the merits that really came to him were only 2700.

After Shi Zhongkui calculated carefully, his face soon became very gloomy.

Even if it was reduced by ten times because he did not preside over it himself, it should be five thousand.

Suppressing his anger, he ordered the lands of Daxing, Wanping and Changping to investigate.

That night, the three land officials reported regretfully, "I told the gods, after some investigation, the three gods found out that not all the paddy fields in Daxing, Wanping, and Changping had increased their rice production.

Moreover, there are about [-] mu of rice fields due to unfavorable maintenance, and the rice is not increasing but decreasing, and the harvest of rice flower fish is not ideal. "

After Daxing land finished speaking, Wanping land comforted, "My lord, if less than [-]% of the rice fields have problems, it is already an excellent situation."

Shi Zhongkui calculated in his mind, and soon realized that besides the reduced yield, there must still be a lot of rice fields, even if the yield increased, the number must not be many.

The most important thing is that these 5 mu of paddy fields are not under the care of Liu Yuer, Chang Baiyu and Didi Gong.

The tenants hired by the gentry basically have no problem taking care of rice and paddy fields.

But if they were to take care of the rice flower fish, they would have to be caught blind.

Even though the soldiers of Daxing and Wanping Tuntian Division have received a lot of training from officials, plus the care of the land, Liu Yuer and Chang Baiyu, isn't there still a reduction in production?
After thinking about this, Shi Zhongkui sighed, it seems that it is not so easy to earn merit.

And what I am most worried about is that the 1.6 mu of rice fields in the Tuntian Division will be greatly reduced next year.

After all, after successful promotion, fish farming in rice fields has become commonplace.

Since this common thing is not rare, of course it is impossible to make huge profits.

However, it will have to be tested again next year.

At the same time, since I have doubts in my heart, I should focus on opening up wasteland.

Even expand the soil.

Looking at the land that the three felt a little uneasy, Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "The three of you assist me in the matter of increasing the rice field production, which can be said to be a contribution to the community and a benefit to the future.

I will report to the Ministry of Rites and the court tomorrow to ask for credit for the three. "

The three lands were overjoyed immediately, and saluted in unison, "Thank you, Shangxian."

Shi Zhongkui knew that this alone was not enough to reward the three lands.

After all, if it weren't for them, Tuntian Division's rice and rice flower fish production would definitely have been reduced even more this time.

After thinking about it, an idea came to mind.

The five groups of merit appeared in his palm.

Four of them flew into the bodies of Daxing and Wanping Land, and the remaining one returned to Changping Land.

The three lands have no opinion on this distribution plan.

The land of Changping just lamented that he was unlucky. Not only was 6% of Changping mountainous, Dazhou never thought of farming in the north of Gyeonggi, near the Great Wall from the very beginning.

Otherwise, many places in Changping still have water sources.

So Changping Land knew that he could get a group of merits this time, and it should be the reason why he helped Shi Zhongkui kill a nest of Huang Daxian last time.

Thinking about it this way, maybe he can carefully collect the spirits and ghosts under his jurisdiction.

At the same time, it might be a credit to pay more attention to find some demons making trouble outside the pass.

After dealing with all the trivial matters on the rice field, and getting the documents from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, I can be regarded as officially understanding the imperial mission on myself.

Shi Zhongkui thought for a while and simply wrote a letter to the Supreme Emperor, then ran to see the emperor, and then submitted a note to the cabinet to open up wasteland.

Not long after this paper entered the cabinet, many people in the court knew what he was thinking.

Before opening up [-] mu of wasteland in Wanping, and now they have just experienced a bumper harvest of rice and rice flowers and fish, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wished that Shi Zhongkui could open up [-] acres of new fields near Gyeonggi.

Once this is done, plus the 1.6 mu of rice fields and 20 mu of wheat fields in Tuntianying's hands, it may be able to feed the [-] troops of Fengtai Daying Camp.

At that time, not only the burden of more than 40 shi of grain was reduced every year, but more grain and grass transported from the south of the Yangtze River could also be transported to Jiubian.

Moreover, transporting 40 shi of grain from Jiangnan definitely consumed more than 5 to 60 shi.

The burden on the people and the government in the south of the Yangtze River can also be greatly reduced.

It can be said that officials in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan strongly agree with this.

Even officials from Shanxi, Shanxi and Shandong wished Shi Zhongkui could go to his hometown to stay for three to five years as an imperial envoy.

As soon as this incident happened, the Supreme Emperor really did not recruit him to the Dragon Head Palace.

It is an imperial decree, which confirms the official marriage on the eighth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar.

Emperor Jinglong had thought about determining Shi Zhongkui's marriage date by himself two months ago, but he just thought about it, and he couldn't get past the Supreme Emperor who had appointed Shi Zhongkui to marry him.

The decree was announced directly in the Hanlin Academy, and after Shi Zhongkui Xie En received the decree, all the officials of the Hanlin Academy, big and small, congratulated him.

But Shi Zhongkui felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Marriage is of course a good thing, let alone marrying two wives at once.

Even though he had never met Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun, Yu Shun had, and so had Chin Maoshu.

Since they all praised the two mistresses, they must be right.

When Shi Zhongkui sent Dai Quan away, he gave a 500 tael silver note, "Don't worry, my father-in-law, the officials always keep their word."

Dai Quan immediately heard that this was a promise to share some farmland with him after the wasteland was opened up.

"Master Shi, our family accepts your favor. From now on, if you need our family, just ask Lian Er to come to me."

Shi Zhongkui nodded with a smile. It can be said that after the incident of land reclamation became known to the government and the public, neither the Supreme Emperor nor the Emperor would casually involve themselves in the secret struggle between their father and son.

After dealing with the colleagues of the Imperial Academy, he took Yu Tongfu home.

Immediately asked Yu Shun to go to Shan Guogong's mansion and invite his wife over.

It stands to reason that even if Yu Shi is Shi Zhongkui's teacher's wife, it is not suitable to come to preside over his marriage in person, but Shi Zhongkui has neither parents nor direct elders.

I can only ask the teacher for help.

Besides, he was the teacher of Yu Taiji and Shi Huaiji, and now he is Yu Tongfu's immediate boss. With these relationships, even the most pedantic old master would not argue about it.

With someone to help with the arrangements, Shi Zhongkui felt at ease, and he went to the government office while cooperating with the preparations for the marriage.

Marriage in ancient times was much more troublesome than in modern times.

The process is not exhaustive, but the money spent is like flowing water.

The bride price just prepared is a full one hundred den.

Although the total of the two families is only 8 taels, the manpower and material resources consumed are not small.

And Shi Zhongkui also took the opportunity to put some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep into the pasture.

Sure enough, the chickens and ducks grew up in half a day, and they were still laying eggs and hatching cubs in the pasture.

After two or three days, pigs and sheep also start to give birth to piglets and lambs.

Moreover, the grass in the pasture seems to never be enough to eat. After eating the front feet, it will grow again after just two steps.

The only pity is that only 100 animals can be housed in a 25-square-meter pasture.

This is the same as a farm needs a 2 by 2 meter plot.

But no matter what kind of animal it is, if it gains 30 jins of weight every day, even if the meat production rate is only half, it can harvest 375 jins of meat every day.

If all pigs are raised, the meat yield should be 6 to 7%.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui discovered that if the ranch builds a warehouse and slaughterhouse, it can be slaughtered automatically.

But in this way, the warehouse and slaughterhouse took up 20 square meters.

Shi Zhongkui thought about it, but still felt that he didn't have the energy to stare at the pasture every day.

After spending 80 merits to build a warehouse and 120 merits to build a slaughterhouse, everything becomes automated.

It's just that the number of animals that can be raised has also become 20, and the meat production rate has also become 300 catties per day.

The only problem is, since the slaughterhouse was established, the Chinchilla doesn't like being on the ranch much.

Even though Shi Zhongkui repeatedly assured that the slaughterhouse would only slaughter ordinary animals and would not attack him as a spiritual creature, he didn't like staying in it.

After Shi Zhongkui thought about it, he gave up.

After all, letting Chinchilla stay in the pasture to repair, even if the speed doubles, it is definitely not as fast as giving him spirit peach wine.
-
After the betrothal gift was prepared, when it was sent to Xue's and Jia's homes, spectators surrounded the whole street.

If he hadn't stayed in the noblest and poorest yamen like the Imperial Academy, and the accounts of farming, land reclamation and dredging of rivers were all right, there would definitely be censors and officials who would say he was corrupt.

And even so, some people wrote that he was too extravagant.

Fortunately, the Inspectorate acquired [-] mu of farmland last time, and no superior official would pay attention to it.

The day soon came to the eighth day of October.

It was only slightly bright early in the morning, and two red sedan chairs carried by 8 people were outside the gate of Shi Zhongkui's house.

Yu Shun led people to set off firecrackers to greet him, commonly known as "Bright sedan chair".

When the auspicious time comes, take an oil lamp and shake it a few times in the wedding sedan chair, commonly known as "zhao sedan chair" to pray for blessings.

Then put a "Wang Basin" in the sedan chair, and the welcoming team can set off.

Shi Zhongkui was dressed in a happy attire not much different from that of the number one scholar. He held two-year-old Yu Taiji in one hand and Yuan Donggang's 6-year-old son in the other.

Seeing that Yu Taiji got on the sedan chair to meet Xue Baochai, the relatives, friends and teachers present basically understood who was older and who was younger between Baochai and Yingchun.

Sure enough, the team went to Xue's house first to welcome the relatives, which immediately made Xue's family and relatives and friends overjoyed.

As his own uncle, Wang Ziteng nodded repeatedly and held on to Shi Zhongkui's hand.
