Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 171 0170: Bulk Purchase

At noon, in the main hall at the backyard of the county government office.

After washing up, six gang members who were still a little depressed were sitting on chairs, looking at Cheng Zongyang who was sitting in the main seat in the middle with some nervous expressions.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Zongyang said with a warm smile:

"I know that you have been traveling a lot during this period. But the gang will not treat you unfairly. No matter what the result is, you will not be left without the promised reward."

"Thank you, sir!" The six people stood up at the same time, bowed and responded excitedly.

The original promise was that after returning from the investigation, we could be the first batch of trainees and become warriors.

Now that I heard Cheng Zongyang say this, I felt that everything was really stable.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang pulled back their excited thoughts and said:
"Then tell me about the situation in Qingfeng County and what you have seen and heard along the way. I need to know the details."

"Then let me speak first." A young man on the left stood up.

But when he was about to speak, Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked: "What's your name?"

The young man was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "Sir, my name is Li Mingshi."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

"Sir..." Li Mingshi spoke in a very organized manner and reported on their journey to Qingfeng County.

Cheng Zongyang listened to what happened after entering the city with a frown on his brow.

awful!
Qingfeng County is even worse than Yufeng County.

Because the city had no government jurisdiction and no family power, Qingfeng County fell into chaos after the outsiders left.

It is far less stable than Yufeng County.

Of course, if Li Lu had not formed a gang with others and quickly controlled the granary and various areas, I am afraid that the fate of Yufeng County would not be much better.

Later, listening to the supplementary statements made by the others to fill in the gaps, Cheng Zongyang had a general outline in his mind.

After understanding the situation clearly, Cheng Zongyang asked Li Xian to take them back to rest first.

After a few people left, Cheng Zongyang began to think alone.

The final conclusion is one - Yufeng County may be in trouble!

First, Qingfeng County was running out of food, or even had already run out of food. Although the drought was over, due to the war, Daliang retreated, and foreign tribes plundered and left them alone, so there was no disaster relief at all.

Therefore, the people of Qingfeng County who have run out of food will inevitably leave.

Maybe go south, maybe go north, or maybe go west or east.

But if it is the former, Yufeng County will face more food pressure, and there will be many more unstable factors.

Of course, this was not a problem for him, he would just kill anyone who dared to cause trouble. But the main issue was food.

According to his plan, after the summer harvest, the people will have food in their hands, and he will provide them with seeds. After that, he will hand over the external affairs to Li Lu to manage.

From the beginning to the end, he spent so much time and effort in Yufeng County because he didn't want Yufeng County to become like Qingfeng County today, which might become a dead city with no one in it!
That would definitely not be a good thing for him or the future development of the Cheng family.

It is easy for people to disperse, but difficult to gather.

Once Yufeng County becomes a dead city, even if the war is over, it will take years to restore it to its original prosperity. This is equivalent to delaying the expansion of the wilderness world!
Now, we just have to wait for two more months, and once the summer grain is harvested, the food problem will be solved.

He then left some grain seeds for the winter harvest, and his grain planting plan was successfully completed.

Later, he will temporarily leave the county and wait for the war to end before returning.

As for Tianduan Village and the shops in the county town, as long as Li Lu is there, no one can take them away. Even if someone takes them away, he can take them back!
So he was not worried.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Cheng Zongyang rubbed his brows and prepared to enter the wilderness world to expand his territory.

It’s not that he has to take on all the problems in the county, but this situation involves many of his interests and he cannot afford to have any problems!

After leaving the county government office, Cheng Zongyang returned to his residence.

"Butler, if anyone comes looking for you, just tell them that I'm in seclusion. We can talk about it after I come out." Cheng Zongyang instructed Zhang Chuqi.

"Yes, young master." Zhang Chuqi agreed.

After entering the study and locking the door, Cheng Zongyang appeared in the market hut.

Cheng Zongyang stood at the door of the cabin, looking at the vibrant crops outside, and his mood improved a lot.

These crops outside are basically cultivated as seeds.

After the harvest, we have to continue expanding the planting, but there are few people and the amount of arable land we can be responsible for is limited.

There are only 16 people now, and there are a lot of other things to do. With so many things to do, there are still not enough people.

"It seems that we need to get more low-level crystals. It is also okay to reshape some ordinary personnel. Letting these people always be underutilized here is a waste of their talents."

At this moment, Luo Dingran, who had just walked out of the fresh-keeping warehouse, saw Cheng Zongyang at the door, and hurried over, bowed and said, "Sir."

Cheng Zongyang glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Those sweet potatoes and potatoes should be about the same time."

Luo Dingran looked in the direction of his sight and said with a smile, "It's almost done. Li Xingyun said that it can produce a lot, and we can expand the farmland on a large scale later."

Cheng Zongyang said: "There aren't enough people."

Luo Dingran said: "Yes. So I want to buy low-level soul crystals."

Cheng Zongyang: "How many?"

Luo Dingran: "This still needs to be decided by you, sir. But for the subsequent expansion of farming needs, Li Xingyun and others suggest that the number of people should be increased to about 30."

Cheng Zongyang fell silent and looked at his points balance silently.

-

Points: 45082
-

During this period, all the fish in the first fish pond were slaughtered, which increased 3745 points. Later, they were all consigned at the price of one point per fish, which increased 7490 points in total.

It is much more cost-effective than selling it individually to the purchasing column.

Although I bought some things during that period, they were not valuable items, so I didn't spend much.

But if you want to buy for 30 people, you will need to spend 20,000 to 30,000 points.
But then Luo Dingran said, "Because the number of buyers this time is large, we can push the price down. If the quantity is small, no one will trade, but if the quantity is large, someone should consider it."

Cheng Zongyang asked: "What's the price?"

Luo Dingran thought for a moment and said, "Let's lower the price you offered before to 400 points per piece. And make a note to try long-term cooperation." "Will anyone buy at this price?" Cheng Zongyang was puzzled. "At the beginning, no one sold it even when it was over 800."

Luo Dingran said: "The number is small, maybe no one cares about these points, but this time it is over 10,000, so someone should give it a try. If it is a long-term cooperation, maybe it will be different.

Sir, judging from your previous purchase, perhaps you purchased the other party's inventory at that time. The inventory is gone, and the quantity you requested to purchase again is only a few, so the other party has no motivation to look for it. "

This analysis was indeed a direction that Cheng Zongyang had not thought about. Inventory, if it was really inventory, then he would not be able to buy it even if he raised the price later, maybe this was really possible.

Regardless of whether it made sense or not, he quickly calculated and got a rough idea.

"Including other expenses, that's 13930 points."

But before Luo Dingran could speak, Cheng Zongyang gritted his teeth and said, "Since you want to buy, then buy more! I want to buy 27850, a total of points."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Luo Dingran said with a smile.

With more people, it is much easier to do things later, and one person doesn't have to do the work of two or three people. This also causes many things to be delayed.

"We'll need 120 bodies later." Cheng Zongyang didn't care. After all, it didn't require warriors. Ordinary people died every day in the county, mostly from illness.

But collecting one hundred and twenty bodies in one day is a different matter.

We also need to collect sixty soul crystals, which cannot be completed in a short time.

Cheng Zongyang shook his head and could only collect the soul crystals first. As long as the soul crystals were full, he could reshape the soul slave at any time if he had a corpse.

The purchase matter was left to Luo Dingran, and he went to find Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng was feeding some livestock alone.

Close to the enclosure, there are deer, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, etc.

Although the number is small, there are many types, and most of them are purchased after refreshing from the inventory. A small part is caught from the mountains.

Luo Zheng also raised them well.

Among them, Cheng Zongyang saw that some of the black soil pigs had big bellies and were about to give birth.

"Sir!" When Luo Zheng saw Cheng Zongyang coming, he immediately put down the wooden barrel in his hand and bowed.

"You're welcome. It's well taken care of." Cheng Zongyang praised.

Luo Zheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are too kind. These animals have strong vitality and can grow meat no matter what they eat."

Cheng Zongyang looked around and didn't see what he wanted to see, so he asked, "Where's the mole beast?"

Luo Zheng responded, "It ate an hour ago and rested in the cave. It likes to sleep in the cave."

"How's the digging of the cave going?" Cheng Zongyang just remembered about digging the cave.

When Luo Zheng thought of the mole's working status, he also smiled and said:
"It's almost done. We dug five large caves, which are enough to store a lot of supplies. The ability and talent of this mole beast are really useful. The soil and rocks are just like mud in front of it. With its ability to control the soil, there is no need to worry about the cave collapsing. My lord, we can cultivate more of these strange beasts."

Cheng Zongyang heard this and smiled helplessly: "I would like to, but the orc essence cannot be purchased. The refresh of the inventory is just luck.

So far, I haven't encountered a special item that refreshes a second time. I'll just have to wait until the territory expands and then look for it slowly. Anyway, they are all there and can't escape."

Luo Zheng just nodded and said, "Sir, do you have any new arrangements for this mole beast? Do you need me to go and call it over?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly: "No need. I'm just asking. You can try to use mole beasts to explore for minerals. If it works, the mole beasts will be more useful. My work outside is almost done. When I finish my work, I will need the mole beasts."

Luo Zheng agreed immediately.

Using moles to search for ore is indeed a solution. After all, moles have special abilities that no other beasts have.

As long as it is familiar with the smell of some ores, it will not be difficult to find them. If it is to open the mines later, it will be a piece of cake.

But the next moment, Luo Zheng seemed to remember something and said:

"The wild silkworms you left behind last time have now been cultivated to the fourth generation, and the number of silkworms that are spinning silk stably has exceeded ten thousand. The amount of food consumed is truly astonishing. What do you think we should do with it next?"

Cheng Zongyang was startled, then he remembered that there was such a thing, and asked: "If I remember correctly, this silkworm is also omnivorous, right? What do they feed on?" (Details in Chapter 139)
"There's a lot of food to feed." Luo Zheng took Cheng Zongyang to a separate wooden house at the back of the house, which was used to feed wild silk worms.

The house is divided into two floors, each about three meters high.

There were shelves inside, and on the shelves were plates of index finger-sized, golden-green silk worms, some of which had begun to spin cocoons on dead branches.

"The first layer is now spinning silk, and the second layer is still growing. This layer is the fourth generation, and I have collected dozens of kilograms of cocoons. Now these have been screened and those with poor vitality have been eliminated. The remaining ones are considered elite.

The food they feed is quite diverse, including tender leaves, washed and dried animal and fish offal, and specially cultivated water rat meat.

"Water rat meat?" Cheng Zongyang was puzzled: "Where was it cultivated? Why didn't I see it?"

Luo Zheng continued to explain: "Sir, I accidentally found the water rat from the stream. It specializes in catching small fish in the water. It is twice as big as a mouse.

Water rats reproduce very quickly. They can grow up and give birth to the next generation in about half a month, with a litter of seven or eight.

So I asked the mole to dig a slightly larger pit beside the stream to raise them. After the mole solidified the pit, the water rats couldn't dig it open, and with good protection, they couldn't escape. It's completely possible to raise them in large quantities.

In the future, whether it is used to feed filaria or other animals, it will be a very good food ingredient.”

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up again: "How is the quality of this meat?"

Luo Zheng smiled and said, "Because they grew up eating seafood such as small fish and shrimp, and they often move around in the water, they don't have the smell of mountain rats or mice, but instead have a seafood smell. This tastes pretty good, and the amount of meat is also okay."

"Hahaha, as long as there are enough, it won't be a problem. Grow more, dry the excess, and sell them in the future."

"Yes, sir." Luo Zheng agreed, but then said: "If we just cultivate them in large quantities, the number of fish in the stream may be limited."

Cheng Zongyang, who was in a good mood, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will expand my territory later. I don't know how much it will expand, but I think it should be quite a lot. There is the sea to the south, and it will be much easier to get food in the future."

"Then I feel relieved." Luo Zheng bowed.

Cheng Zongyang then said, "Give me a thousand of these filariae. I will take them away sometime later. Don't take the ones on the first floor. Pick the ones on the second floor. I will take them outside for cultivation later.

Finally, you need to take some time to write a cultivation manual, recording the detailed cultivation methods. Of course, these silkworms should be picked first, and there is no rush to pack them. They can be packed separately when needed. "

"Yes, sir!" Luo Zheng agreed again.

Cheng Zongyang returned to the small house at the bottom of the market.

He looked at the two boxes of silver in the corner that had never been touched and took a deep breath.

"After so long, we can finally expand our territory."

Cheng Zongyang murmured, and then he looked in an unknown direction and said, "Expand the territory of the wilderness world."

Suddenly, a virtual interface popped up in front of him.
