I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 367 Thick Earth
The governor of Nanchang trained these soldiers more and they felt homesick.

Not only did the naval troops fail, but the infantry continued to desert the camp despite repeated bans. One of the captains wanted to execute the deserters in public, which caused a mutiny in the barracks, but the captain was tied up instead. The soldiers fled in all directions and went back to their homes. Those who wanted to have wives talked about their wives, those who wanted to have children had children, and they were waiting for Master Xu to divide the land.

Not only them, but also the poor elderly people who used to live in misery hope that the land will be equally distributed the most. They are old and weak, and if they have two acres of land under their names, even if they don't cultivate it themselves, they can rent it out to others, so that they can more or less have a living in their old age.

Don’t say that filial piety was the way the country was ruled in ancient times. That was something advocated by the literati. In the countryside, it was already good enough for the elderly to have something to eat. In many places there were even caves abandoned for the elderly.

The Jiangnan West Road is not so bad, with a flourishing literary culture and a strong education, but there are inevitably some remote mountainous areas. Moreover, if one is from a poor family, no matter how filial one is, how can it improve the living conditions of the elderly?

Xu Zhiyuan even opened a large canteen, allowing people over 70 years old to eat for free and children 60 and under 14 to eat at half price. Even adults only needed two cents per meal, and if they had two meals a day, the food ration money was only 120 cents. Don't worry about whether the food is good or not, just worry about whether you are full.

As for making money, many elderly people have no means to make money, so they weave baskets, split bamboo strips, and do some simple handicrafts. After the unified purchase, "work points" are issued, and children can herd cattle, cut grass, feed pigs, and raise sheep...

In the small peasant economy and early industrialization reforms, these tedious, repetitive and simple labors were indeed suitable for them.

At the end of each month, work points are converted into "wages" and can be directly consumed in the canteen or used to purchase items in the "cooperative".

The minting of new coins has already begun. They are hydraulically hammered, one-piece formed, with a steel core inside and copper outside. They have clear patterns and are similar in size to the early "five cents" in the previous life. They have long been circulated in the market. They were originally a kind of "flower money" and were distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival, Spring Festival, and blessings.

Later, it became popular in Yushan Changde. Due to its exquisite style and difficulty in destruction and imitation, one could even be exchanged for five ordinary copper coins. It was also believed that it had "magic power" and could ward off evil spirits. Some people from other places even exchanged it specifically for use.

The production has almost reached a certain level now. The copper coins are recycled and issued. Currently, one such coin on the market is roughly equivalent to two ordinary copper coins.

Of course, Xu Jia wanted to issue "paper money", but there was no basis for it. He only had gold certificates in Jinchan's bank. He would issue as many gold certificates as he could according to the amount of gold. They were not circulated in the market, but only used for large-scale trade by merchants, such as overseas silk trade and porcelain trade. There was also a kind of "silver banknotes", which could only be exchanged for silver. They were also issued according to the silver reserves and used to pay small and medium-sized business orders or project settlements, but they would not exceed the quota or be issued.

Generally speaking, the economy here is developing in an upward direction. Now that the land is distributed evenly and the property is confiscated, everything will be revived.

On Xu Jia's side, while practicing on the top of the mountain, the power of wish behind his head became stronger and stronger, but the power of desire also backfired stronger and stronger. This desire was extremely turbulent, but it could not shake Xu Jia's body and mind.

Even Xu Jia's "demon god system" continued to be constructed outside of the body god.

Needless to say, the body god is the main gods of the twenty-four inner scenes, the three origins and eight scenes. The main gods are under the jurisdiction of the 365 main gods, and the 365 main gods are in charge of the 18000 gods of the Zhoutian Hundong, and these gods are unified under the jurisdiction of the primordial spirit.

The Three Yuans correspond to the three Yuans of heaven, earth and water. The Heaven Yuan is dominated by the gods of heaven, the Earth Yuan is dominated by the gods of the earth and the underworld, and the Water Yuan is dominated by the movement of Qi in rivers, lakes and seas.

Among the gods of the earth, there are "demons", or netherworld demons, and there are temples corresponding to some places on the earth. Now, Yushan, Dexing, Wuzhou, Xinzhou, and other places are under his control one by one. Because of the wish, he "never forgets" and gives rise to feedback.

Thus, there were land god temples, city god temples, mountain god temples, river god temples, and these small temples of local gods and demons were gradually born in the three-dimensional space of the body and god's inner scene.

These demons were weak and small, not as good as other gods, or the Five Elements Demons, the Jade Demons, and the Nine Letter Demons that Xu Jia had subdued before, but they were more perfect.

Within the Eight Scenery Cave, in the lowest level, one can see all kinds of earth gods and demons, each with its own unique appearance. The one in the center is none other than the image of a goddess, extremely noble, and she is Hou Tu.

What is thick earth? It is to compare its height with the sky. If the earth is three feet thick, it is three feet closer to the sky. This is what Xu Jia is doing.

Of course, no matter how much Xu Jia adds, it is not as good as some people who want to scrape the ground three feet.

The main virtue of the earth is Kun, as the saying goes, the earth is Kun, and its virtue holds all things. This lowest layer is the most basic "material foundation", which is the material foundation for the people's great desires and wishes to be actually satisfied, and it is also the foundation of the Three Yuan and Eight Scenes.

However, there is not enough "thick earth qi" to condense the thick earth god, one of the extremely important "eight main gods".

But this is only a beginning after all. It is just not as good as Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, who was created by the Qingyang Qi. Xu Jia made a wish and it was fulfilled. The god of thick earth needs to practice the virtue of thick earth.

Xu Jia inexplicably thought of the "Five Elements Dragon Scales" and thought to himself, maybe this is the power of the "Earth Elements Dragon Scales", but what are the subsequent four dragon scales?

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that dragon scales were not accurate, so he classified it as a "spiritual treasure". Faintly, a seal of an immovable mountain appeared above his hands.

Xu Jia originally thought that thick earth was the energy of the earth element in the five elements. In nature, it was like the Genyue Fuqi method of the Shanju School, which could inhale and exhale the mountain's Qi and take the essence of jade. But this was not the case. This was a very abstract manifestation. If you only practice with mountain jade, you will undoubtedly practice wrongly and become stiff, like a jade figurine.

……

On the other side, Chen Changsheng took Xu Jia's talisman and went to Jinshan Temple to find Elder Xianhuan. The three monsters from the Fenglei Yinxian lineage of the Lishan Sect also followed him. Their punishment had been reduced a lot under Xu Jia's intention, and they had "half human form".

Only a pair of chicken feet were left of the old hen, and the upper body had returned to human form. The Lingyun Taoist and the Yilei Taoist had more animal features. The one still looked like a big frog, like a female toad with a mouth that was so big that it had no limits. The sheep demon still had a pair of sheep horns, and its lower limbs were also sheep hooves.

But they finally began to recover. They went to Jinshan Temple with Chen Changsheng, muttering, "We haven't changed back yet, we can't leave. You are my junior sister's Taoist partner, you must go to Mount Li when you go back and inform our master of our situation."
