Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 142 0141: Six things!

Li Lu was also very punctual, and arrived at the city gate with a dozen or twenty of his yamen runners and people from the household registration office.

He also carried a lot of shoulder poles, large beam scales and the like in his hands.

Cheng Zongyang took them to the place where the dried fish were placed. Looking at the various dried fish, the yamen runners were also very greedy.

Since the water source dried up, they have never eaten fish again, not even salted fish.

The county town is now short of resources, and it is only by relying on the county magistrate to suppress all forces and unify the extremely cheap prices that everyone can have rice and flour to eat.

When weighing, Cheng Zongyang whispered to Li Lu beside him: "These dried fish weigh a total of 3,150 kilograms. 3,000 kilograms are for sale, and you can handle the other 150 kilograms. After all, your people can't work for nothing, right?"

Li Lu heard what Cheng Zongyang meant. But he didn't expect Cheng Zongyang to be so thoughtful, so he joked:

"I know you are a capable person. Since you said so, I won't be polite with you. It's 150 kilograms, don't feel sorry for it."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "It's just material possessions. Not only do you make everyone work so hard, but you also get nothing? Then you, as a boss, don't have much sense of belonging."

"Hahaha, that's thoughtful. I'll remember it." Li Lu responded with a smile.

Soon, the weighing was completed. After Li Lu announced that each person would get 5 kilograms of the 100 kilograms, everyone smiled and thanked Li Lu and Cheng Zongyang.

Five catties of dried fish, if saved, can last them for a few days! They don't have to eat old rice, sorghum noodles, etc. These days, this is a great benefit!

For a moment, these people were more loyal to Li Lu. A boss who could be so generous to his subordinates was worth following!

Similarly, he also had a favorable impression of Cheng Zongyang.

This is a good man!
Two quarters of an hour later, Cheng Zongyang took four taels and five cents of gold, waved to Li Lu and others, and watched them carry the last batch of dried fish back with a smile on their faces.

After entering the city, Li Lu said to everyone, "Put your things here first. I will send your things home and then come back to the county government office to pick them up."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately grateful for Li Lu's attentiveness and thanked him one after another.

Since the West City Gate opened in the morning, there has been a continuous stream of people leaving the county town.

This puzzled the gatekeeper and the leader of the ninth-rank warriors.

Ever since the last time refugees stormed the city, warriors have been helping to guard the four city gates.

Now, the commander who was assisting in the guarding was quite surprised to see that the refugees, who usually could not be driven out, were leaving in such a sporadic manner today.

But he also wished there were fewer refugees so that there would be enough food in the city.

As time approached noon, there were no more refugees leaving the city. However, the commander spotted a scene at the entrance to the official road from afar that puzzled him.

But the refugees did not leave, and had been gathering at the entrance of the official road from the beginning until now. And just now, these refugees left together.

The commander did not see Cheng Zongyang, but he felt that they left in an organized manner, as if someone was leading them.

It was just that the place was a little far away, so the commander could not see clearly, so he did not pay much attention. But even if there was something, he would not pay attention.

Cheng Zongyang led these people out and entered the forest after walking a few hundred meters.

When these anxious refugees saw an open space with plenty of food and water, they were all shocked.

Cheng Zongyang said to them, "Cook, come out, wash your hands, prepare the ingredients, and cook the meat porridge. Where are those scholars? Come out."

Under Cheng Zongyang's arrangement, the cooking experts in the crowd began to make arrangements. Meanwhile, the scholars came to Cheng Zongyang with some trepidation.

Without waiting for them to speak, Cheng Zongyang took the initiative to say:
"Help me count how many people have come. After the count, you and everyone will wash their hands, and then prepare to eat the meat porridge. Fill some water at the back and save it for use when you are on the road."

Upon hearing this, the four scholars nodded in agreement like chicks and began to work awkwardly.

There were quite a lot of people, so the food had to be cooked in several batches. Fortunately, there were a lot of people to help.

By the time everyone finished eating the meat porridge, an hour and a half had passed. Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Zongyang asked everyone to get ready to set off.

Cheng Zongyang did not waste the remaining things, and asked people to disperse and carry rice. At the same time, he also asked some people to carry medicine bags in batches and travel together.

He had already taken out the medicine bags and was waiting for them to help take them back.

As it was getting dark, they hurried along a little faster. Fortunately, these people were not without food. The county town had some food to supply every day, so they had more energy and strength than the first group.

When it was getting a little dark, we entered the inner mountain pass.

But the mountain road is not easy to walk on, let alone carrying things.

They could only ask people to stop and wait at one place, while Cheng Zongyang went to the village to call people to help.

According to the statistics of these scholars, there were 213 people coming this time, which was 50 fewer than the number registered in the county town.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care. It was normal for them to have their own concerns. After all, no one was determined to follow a stranger out of the county.

The second group of people felt relieved when they saw some people coming to help. After all, they had entered the mountains for no reason, so they were naturally a little nervous.

After working together, they arrived at Chengjia Village, and Cheng Zongyang said to everyone:
"This is our village, called Chengjia Village. Someone will arrange for you to stay here. You can squeeze in temporarily. When more houses are built later, each family will have their own room.

Don’t worry about food, either. Food will be provided free of charge for a short period of time. After you adapt for a few days, you will get the rewards you deserve through your own labor. The tribe leader will also arrange for someone to explain the relevant rules to you.”

At this moment, everyone nodded with joy on their faces.

The environment here is much better than outside, and whether it is the accommodation and food, the looks of the children, or the conditions of the adults, it can be seen that life is very good.

Whether life is good or not can be seen from people’s faces, bodies and the surrounding environment.

For a moment, they were very glad that they had made the right decision.

Cheng Guanghai and others did not discuss the situation with Cheng Zongyang right away. Instead, they immediately took people to arrange for these 200 people to drink some hot water to keep out the cold, and then arranged for their food, clothing and shelter.

Everything has been prepared long ago. Although some daily necessities are still in short supply, they can be used to last for some time.

There is no need to worry even about warm clothes, as Cheng Zongyang had collected a lot of supplies from various villages.

It took about two days to arrange accommodation for these people.

The first group of people now use contribution points to exchange for supplies, and each is responsible for their own food and drink.

Now the second group of people all eat from the same pot and are allocated uniformly. After a few days when they understand the system here, they will be allowed to earn their own contributions.

Of course, in order to enable these people to quickly understand the village rules and regulations, the warehouse also issued teaching tasks.

After some people receive the task, they will take the initiative to teach them. After the second group of people understand it, they will go to receive their contribution.

This reduces the pressure on family members while also providing others with some ways to earn contributions. The implementation of a contribution system requires strong material and logistical support so that the execution of contribution can have credibility.

In the past, the main source of materials was brought by Cheng Zongyang. Now, most of the materials are collected by villagers during tasks and made by hand.

Although the fire a few months ago caused the loss of countless resources in the mountains, there are always some areas that were not affected.

The animals were naturally concentrated there as well. After all, they also needed to eat, so they would gather in areas with abundant supplies. This gave the people in the Hunting Hall many opportunities.

After two days of arrangements, the matter involving these two hundred people finally came to an end.

That night, after everyone had rested, the main members of the clan gathered at the Cheng family ancestral hall in Hanoi and prepared to hold a meeting.

These two days everyone has been busy arranging various trivial matters and dealing with various problems, so naturally there is not much time.

Now these two hundred people have been temporarily stabilized, and we just need to wait for them to adapt.

But there is still a lot of work to be done. In addition, Cheng Zongyang has a lot of things to do this time, which are related to the future development of some villages.

"…This area expansion basically covers all flat areas. Subsequent residences, farmland, and breeding areas will all require a new plan to ensure there is enough space.

In addition, even if there are no other situations, the area outside the river also needs guards to patrol frequently. They can monitor their situation and deal with some emergencies..."

After Cheng Guanghai finished talking about the situation during this period, everyone started to discuss it.

"This place really needs to be replanned." Cheng Guangshan nodded in agreement and said, "With the arrival of these people, if we develop according to Zongyang's previous plan, we will inevitably have to exchange residential areas for farmland, or farmland for other places for people to live in. Fortunately, the breeding area has been moved and will not be affected."

Zhou Hansong asked, "We have already expanded the farmland to both sides of the river inside the river. Do we need to change it? The area outside the river should be enough for these people to live in, right?"

Cheng Guangshan put down the pen in his hand, shook his head and said: "People always have needs. They can live in this place temporarily, but it is also temporary. When they have more contribution points, they will change to a better one.

People only think about other things after they have filled their stomachs and solved the problem of eating. Therefore, now they don’t care and don’t think too much.

But once things become stable, they will probably think about building bigger and better houses, or raising their own livestock.

Rather than having to deal with many trivial matters due to land issues in the future, it is better to reserve some space now and give it to them for exchange with contribution points in the future. It depends on the ability of each family.

The flat areas outside the river are limited, so we will probably have to dig up the mountains to make more space. Or we can migrate towards the river."

The problem lies in the follow-up issues of arable land and housing.

Everyone contributed their ideas, and slowly, after pooling their wisdom, they came up with a solution.

The heads of other departments also spoke, stating their problems and the discussions, which were then recorded by my second uncle.

Today, Cheng Zongyang has handed over the responsibility of the Hunting Hall to his uncle.

After this period of training, these members have successfully passed the test and have acquired basic hunting skills. Later, the team can be expanded.

The original salt-making workshop was supervised and managed by Zhou Zhendong, who was familiar with the situation, and his father Zhou Hanchang was naturally transferred out.

The most important gold mining workshop is still supervised by Cheng Zongyang himself, with Zhou Zhenyuan cooperating in learning.

When he was away, Zhou Zhenyuan took over the supervision task.

The development of other departments is still proceeding step by step, with basically no major changes.

Every meeting needs to be recorded so that we can know where the problem lies, how to deal with it, and even make policy changes based on subsequent situations, which also makes it easier to trace the root cause.

After everyone had spoken and discussed solutions to problems such as housing, farming, living space, water sources, and breeding, Cheng Zongyang stood up to report the situation.

"Tonight, I have several things to talk about. One is the issue of the warrior contract; two is a formula for the body-tempering powder; three is the formula for the plant growth liquid; four is the bow and arrow design; five is the formula for the white medicine; six is ​​the development of the outside world and the issue of children's education."

When everyone heard Cheng Zongyang actually mentioned six things, their faces became serious.

Cheng Guanghai nodded and said, "Tell me in detail."

Cheng Zongyang immediately took out four recipes, placed them on the table, lined them up, and said, "Let's talk about these four first."

"The gold sand I took out this time was equivalent to 78 taels. I exchanged these four items for them through an acquaintance."

"The first is the formula of the Body Tempering Powder..."

"The second is the Baiyao formula..."

"..."

Cheng Zongyang introduced the four items one by one in detail in a neither hurried nor slow tone.

When the people present heard that there was a Body Tempering Powder to assist warriors in their training and the more effective Baiyao Powder, they were all extremely happy.

In the mountains, the probability of encountering wild animals is very high, and it is common to see hunters returning with injuries after bringing prey back. Medicine for treating external injuries is extremely important.

Although the pharmacy has hemostatic powder, the hemostatic effect is not very outstanding.

If the effect Cheng Zongyang described was really that powerful, then the result would be the same.

However, compared to the focus of others, Cheng Guangshan focused on the growth fluid. He stopped everyone's discussion and looked at Cheng Zongyang with a serious face:

"Zong Yang! Are you sure this growth fluid has this effect?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "I've seen the other party do it before, and the effect can be seen in a few hours."

"Okay!" Cheng Guangshan trusted his nephew and knew that he was a steady man who wouldn't talk nonsense about such things. He said excitedly, "With this growth liquid, the planting of various seeds or cuttings can be greatly accelerated! There will be no shortage of medicinal materials! Yes, can it speed up the growth of plants?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head and smiled, "It shouldn't be possible. If it is possible, then the value of this thing is beyond my ability to buy. Maybe Second Uncle can try to mix it according to this formula in the future."

"Hahaha, this is not a problem. Besides, having this effect is enough!" Cheng Guangshan nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did everyone realize that the growth liquid was the most important of the several pieces of paper!

I wonder how much time this can save on farming and waiting!
Whether it is grain seeds, vegetable, fruit seeds, or cuttings, the time can be greatly shortened.

"I will personally take care of this growth liquid. It will be listed as the core secret of the Cheng family, just like the formula of the Tempering Powder, the formula of the White Medicine Powder, the formula of the Foundation Building Medicinal Bath, the formula of the Martial Arts Medicinal Bath, the formula of the Seven Herbs Powder, and the formula of the Clearing Plague Powder!"

Everyone has no opinion on this.

As for the final bow and arrow production design, he did not intend to keep it secret. Cheng Zongyang asked his uncle to arrange for the Gongbutang to try to make it.

The only weapons that can be mass-produced in the mountains are wooden spears and bows and arrows.

At present, iron ore, copper mine and the like have not been discovered yet. Although Cheng Zongyang is anxious, there is nothing he can do.
