Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 54: Make a Plan

Tian Buli went to a cloth shop on another street to have his clothes custom made.

I have had contact with Boss Zhang and his family several times. Boss Zhang is not a bad person, and his daughter is not a bad person either, but we just can't get along.

I usually laugh and joke with Boss Zhang, and we treat each other well and try to please each other.

As time went on, Boss Zhang couldn't help but act superior. He thought he was just joking and always liked to stand over others and display his leadership style as an elder.

It certainly wouldn’t happen now, but Tian Buli didn’t want to flatter him or make friends with such a businessman.

I changed to another cloth shop, and the tailor was still a man, a young man in his twenties.

Tian Buli likes to do business with this kind of people. Unless his wife is making trouble and forcing him to make progress, most of them don't like to talk. They will charge as much as they should and do as much as they should.

Most unscrupulous businessmen have a wife who is equally greedy and mercenary.

If Boss Zhang's wife hadn't died, her relationship with Tian Buli would have been even worse.

At around five or six in the afternoon, Tian Buli returned to the foot of the mountain.

The sun had not yet set, and the sunlight at around five o'clock was not so scorching. Along the way, we saw many villagers busy in the fields.

The grain harvest has ended, and now the main work is drying the grain and burning the weeds. Places where the harvest is fast have already started planting crops such as soybeans, peanuts and sesame, and will be ready for harvest in two or three months.

Sesame is more expensive and not widely grown. Most of the agricultural products are consumed by the farmers themselves, and very little can be sold.

Hotels, inns and wealthy families with purchasing power all have their own fields and relatives.

Those who make sesame cakes cannot buy much sesame seeds, and small workshops that make sesame oil also have their own sesame fields.

Good things should be kept in the family. No matter in the countryside or in the town, people will not spend money outside if they can save money.

Tian Buli took a look and found that many of his fields were abandoned.

"We need to find more people to come and farm the land, so the rent can be lower."

Tian Buli remembered that the rent for fields nearby was 10% tax. Because it was inconvenient to water the fields and it was thirty or forty miles away from the county town, most people were unwilling to come.

The rent for land near the county town is higher, but there is no shortage of people renting it.

Fortunately, there is no rush for this kind of thing. As long as there is land, it can absorb the population.

In the agricultural era, as long as there was land that could grow crops, there would be no shortage of people.

When Tian Buli walked back up the mountain and approached a small cottage far away from the village, four little rabbits that were grazing and wandering nearby quickly ran over.

The little rabbits were like fish jumping out of the water, bouncing one by one in the sunlight and grass.

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

The four little rabbits lined up to greet each other, and soon they all ran to Tian Buli, squatted with their heads raised, and raised their front legs to bow.

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I have ordered clothes for you. They will take a few days to be ready. I don't have any food with me, only books and sesame oil. I will feed you a few drops when we eat later."

Several of the rabbits are wild rabbits. In the wild, they not only eat vegetables and fruits, but also insects and meat, and have strong digestive abilities.

Tian Buli walked in front, and the four little rabbits followed beside him.

Because it is difficult for a rabbit to speak, the little rabbits followed quietly.

After entering the yard, Tian Buli called out, "Mrs. Bunny, are you asleep?"

A big rabbit popped its head out from behind the house and walked over quickly after seeing Tian Buli.

"Master, I just dug a small hole. I guess it will take until the day after tomorrow to finish it."

Tian Buli walked towards the house. "It's okay. There's no rush. Let's prepare for dinner first. After dinner, we will practice together. I will make a practice plan for you and myself."

The bunny girl entered the house and soon transformed into a bunny girl covered with a layer of gray and white fur.

The four little rabbits played for a day and ate a lot. Soon they turned into four girls with bulging bellies. The bunny lady asked, "Master, can you practice?"

Tian Buli looked at the five rabbits, sat down and put away his schoolbag.

"I'm not very good at cultivation, but I can't just sit there and do nothing all the time. From now on, we have to set a schedule for our meals and rest."

"For example, I get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, wash my face and get dressed, and go running and exercise at 6:30."

The bunny girl asked curiously, "What is six o'clock?"

Tian Buli thought of all this on his way back.

"A day is divided into two halves, the daytime and the lunar hour. Six-thirty in the morning is the Mao hour, which is exactly the time when you rabbits are active."

The rabbit girl and the four girls quickly accepted Mao Shi's suggestion to go out for a run, which was in line with the rabbit's ethics.

Tian Buli continued, "You are not rabbits, you are cultivators like me. Since you are a cultivator you cannot be illiterate. I will also teach you to read and write so that you can continue to cultivate."

Gray Rabbit looked at Black Rabbit, "Do you want to learn?"

Black Rabbit doesn't quite understand this.

The rabbit lady said softly: "Master has shown us kindness and taught us things, you should not be ungrateful!"

Tian Buli's main purpose was to find something to do for himself, and also to find something to do for the five rabbits.

Although I don’t know how to cultivate immortality, I absolutely cannot do nothing and slack off.

"Start running at 6:30 every day, and run around the foot of the nearby mountain. I will lead the team to plan the specific route tomorrow. It only takes half an hour to run, and then stop at 7:30 to rest for ten minutes and prepare for dinner."

"After dinner, it's about eight o'clock. At this time, we find a place to sit down and breathe to digest the food."

"At nine o'clock, we go into the room to study cultural subjects. After studying for two hours, we have an hour of free time. Those who practice martial arts practice martial arts, and those who study magic do their own research."

Tian Buli looked at the rabbits and said, "You only know one transformation technique now, so practice it well and try to become more like a human."

"It just so happens that there are people around me who are learning together. I can transform one by one, and the other rabbits can watch and give some advice. This way, my own transformation skills can also improve."

The five rabbit demons listened obediently.

There is no problem with running, rabbits can run, and cultural courses and the art of transformation also sound in line with the abilities of a cultivator.

In the past, they were busy eating, sleeping and avoiding danger. Now they have time and their master has assigned them tasks. The five rabbits also don’t know what cultivation is, but they all feel like they can do it.

"Take a two-hour nap at noon."

"Start practicing calligraphy at 2pm to train your fingers' ability to cast spells. If you rabbits don't practice your fingers well, you won't be able to pick up things."

The five rabbit monsters looked at Tian Buli in confusion, then looked down at the ten fingers on their hands.

"Meditate around five."

"Eat, sleep and take care of chores at six."

"I get up around midnight to watch the moon and practice. I can see the moon at night, and there are no trees or mountains blocking the view. It's just right."

Tian Buli quickly agreed with the rabbit monsters on the approximate training time.

After listening to this, the white rabbit asked, "Master, can't we spend more time preparing meals? We should also store more food in the summer when there is more food, otherwise we will be hungry in the winter."

The issue of eating is very important to monsters, and it is equally important to humans.

Tian Buli comforted him, "No problem. This mountain is evergreen all year round. There is plenty to eat even in winter. The harvest is good this year. Someone will send us food tomorrow."

The white rabbit stretched his neck and asked curiously: "How much do you want to give?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "We have enough food to fill this room. Go and help Rabbit Lady dig a hole now. White Rabbit, put on your clothes and follow me down the mountain to pick some vegetables to cook."

"Okay!" The white rabbit agreed happily.

The other four rabbits looked at the house curiously, and their confused eyes gradually turned into shock.

A whole room full of food?!
So many?!
