Chapter 24 Delivering Food
The grain that needs to be delivered this time is mainly 100 acres of inferior spiritual fields.

As for the 40 acres of high-quality spiritual fields that he treated as his own father, 10 acres of them would have to wait until this time next year to produce, and the remaining 30 acres would have to wait until the year after.

The higher the quality of the spiritual rice, the longer it takes to mature.

"There are 100 mu of inferior spiritual farmland, with an annual yield of 250 dan per mu, which is an increase of 250 dan. The total income is dan of spiritual grain. According to the agreement, % of the grain will be delivered, and the spiritual farm garrison will receive dou of grain."

Weights and measures are your lies!

Just like in the previous life, they simply changed 1 yuan into 10 yuan, giving you the illusion that you have a high salary, but in fact it is just a trick of changing one's mind frequently.

One shi is equal to ten dou.

One dou is ten jin.

250 dou, if we just talk about the large number, it might as well be changed to 2500 jin, but in fact it is only 25 shi.

And this is Zhong Lixiao’s income from farming this season!

For example, coarse grains like this, which are considered "ordinary rice" by Baiyun Temple, can be bought for one stone with a low-grade spirit stone in the market.

In other words, Zhong Lixiao looked after Yuliang Manor for a year, worked hard to plant two crops of spiritual rice, and was as tired as a dog, but he only earned 50 spiritual stones.

And this is still an overestimate!
Because the magical rice sold in the grain stores in the market town is all pounded.

In this technologically backward era, one pound of rice can only produce about 0.65 to 0.7 pounds of rice.

In other words, he worked hard to look after these 100 acres of inferior spiritual fields for a year, and often used the "Small Cloud and Rain Technique" to water them, but he only earned 32 spiritual stones through all his hard work.

Although the main reason here is that the family was too harsh in punishing the offenders, the thought of it still makes one want to vomit blood.

What can you do with 32 spirit stones?

He could only afford to buy three bottles of Essence Nourishing Pills, and this was the result after he, the immortal master, squeezed the surplus value out of the tenants.

We could afford potatoes the year before last, potatoes this year, and yams the year after. Life is becoming more and more promising.

Miserable!
Perhaps the only consolation is that Zhong Lixiao finally has a real income.

In the following year, in addition to rice bran, you can still eat real spiritual rice.

In fact, except Zhong Lixiao, everyone else was very happy.

Especially those tenants who participated in the cultivation of Linggu, all of them had rosy faces.

It’s all because of the Linggu replacement system.

The more grain they grow in the spiritual fields, the more they can get in the ordinary fields in return for the ordinary rice and grains that the immortal masters look down upon as compensation.

This year is a bumper harvest, with the average yield per mu increased by half a stone, so the days ahead will be much better.

Seeing this, Zhong Lishan couldn't help but smile.

"The production has increased by half a stone. Brother Eleven has really put in a lot of effort this year."

When Zhong Lixiao heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

He actually didn't care too much about these 100 acres of inferior spiritual fields.

Plowing the soil, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and threshing were basically left to the tenants, and all he did was water the crops using the "Little Cloud and Rain Technique".

But even so, the output still increased by half a stone.

Could it be because of the magical power of "one acre and three points of land"?

Zhong Lixiao's eyes were bright.

The third effect of the magical power "One Acre and Three Fen Land" is that you reap what you sow. In his practice, he has deeply experienced the wonderfulness of this magical power.

The current harvest from the spiritual valley has once again given him a big surprise.

The yield of this inferior spiritual field, which he didn't care much about, increased by half a stone. What about the forty acres of superior field that he treated as his own father?

Zhong Lixiao was looking forward to it and couldn't help but smile, "The family is in danger, how dare we not do our best?"

Zhong Lishan's face became serious when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly, "Eleventh Brother is right. Our family is in danger, and now is the time for us to work hard and overcome the difficulties together. As long as Second Uncle builds his foundation, our good days will come."

Ah, yes, yes!

Although Zhong Lixiao did not particularly agree in his heart, he had no intention of going against his twelfth brother at this time.

Because it's not correct!
Next to the granary, farmhands were carrying out bags of packaged spiritual rice for Deacon Zhong Lishan to inspect.

Zhong Lishan looked at Zhong Lixiao, who immediately extended his hand and said with a smile, "Just do it as business as it is, Twelfth Brother, just check it randomly."

Zhong Lishan bowed skillfully with a smile on his face, giving people a kind and benevolent feeling.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After not seeing him for a year, this former brother has become more worldly-wise!

Zhong Lishan randomly pulled out one of the bags and asked someone to open it. He saw that it was full of pounded rice.

Zhong Lishan's eyes lit up. He grabbed some rice, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"It is pounded very cleanly, the rice grains are of uniform size, and the rice bran is sifted out. Not bad, not bad."

Afterwards, Zhong Lishan sampled several sacks one after another and nodded repeatedly.

"Eleventh brother is very attentive." Zhong Lixiao laughed immediately.

How could he not be dedicated when he could exploit the family in a legitimate way?

After pounding one pound of rice, the output is between 0.65 pound and 0.7 pound. When pounding rice in Yuliangzhuang, Zhong Lixiao can fully guarantee that you will get 0.65 pound.

The remaining rice bran with millet grains is his legal income!

"As I should, as I should. Everything I have done is to make Taoyuan Zhong Clan great again."

Zhong Lishan's eyes lit up.

This is a beautifully said thing. I have learned it, I have learned it. From now on these words belong to him!
When the rice inspection was almost done, Zhong Lishan waved his hand and put all the bags of rice into the storage bag.

The many farmhands who just watched had their eyes wide open, this is the immortal master and his magic, it's so magical!

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Zhong Lishan felt secretly proud of himself.

Only after seeing this scene did Zhong Lixiao realize that deep in Zhong Lishan's heart, he was still the young and high-spirited boy of the past.

Zhong Lixiao: "It's time for dinner, why don't you have a quick meal before leaving, brother?"

Zhong Lishan moved his throat, but finally shook his head.

"I still have many other farms to visit, so forget about the meal. After Second Uncle builds his foundation, I will invite Eleventh Brother to have a drink at Qifeng Pavilion."

At this point, Zhong Lishan rarely made a face, revealing a slightly obscene look.

Zhong Lixiao immediately understood that this Qifeng Pavilion was most likely a place for drinking and prostitution.

Zhong Lixiao also laughed and said, "Gambling and drugs are irreconcilable to me, so I won't be polite."

"???"

Zhong Lishan obviously didn't get the joke and was a little confused for a moment, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he suddenly understood.

He immediately showed a look of understanding, and the distance between the two was shortened again.

Zhong Lishan chuckled and said, "You are quite humorous. I thought you were a fool before, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. As long as Second Uncle builds his foundation, our good days will come. You can follow me in the future and you will know everything."

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Zhong Lishan said goodbye.

Finally, he thought of something and reminded him, "Brother Eleven, I know that you practice hard and have great skills, but you are also very vigilant. However, you need to strengthen your vigilance in the future."

Zhong Lixiao was alert when he heard this, "Twelfth brother, do you know anything? You also know that I have been living in Yuliang Village, and the news is very isolated."

Zhong Lishan sighed and said, "A year ago, the news that the ancestor was in seclusion was unexpectedly leaked. Until today, the tests that should be conducted have been completed. You know."

Zhong Lixiao nodded seriously.

"Thank you for the reminder, 12th brother."

Seeing that Zhong Lixiao had listened, Zhong Lishan immediately smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. Yuliang Manor is not far away. It is only about 200 miles away from Taoyuan Valley. It is also the heartland of our Taoyuan Zhong family. I don't think those criminals would dare to have any extra thoughts."

Zhong Lixiao did not comment.

Zhong Lishan waved his hand, and a lotus leaf with a green glow floated out, growing against the wind, and soon grew to the size of a small boat.

There is a small flag inserted in front and behind the lotus leaf, with "avoid wind" written on one side and "run thunder" written on the other side.

When he saw this lotus leaf flying boat, Zhong Lixiao immediately knew its name, "Wind and Thunder Lotus Leaf Boat".

This is the family property of the Zhong family in Taoyuan, and it is mainly distributed to deacons who collect rent from various industries in various places.

After all, collecting rent is a time-consuming and laborious task. Real senior executives cannot waste their precious time on such chores. Eventually, they still need to hand it over to young and successful juniors.

but.

After all, the cultivation base of these younger generations is not high, and they carry family property collected from various places. If they are robbed by the robbers, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, the family came up with a compromise, which was to equip them with some relatively advanced flying magic weapons.

Simply put, it is the "bus" in the previous life.

Zhong Lishan was seen standing on the lotus leaf boat. The two flags of wind and thunder emitted a dim green light, wrapping him inside. With a flash of lightning, the lotus leaf boat turned into a small black dot.

"So fast!"

Zhong Lixiao was amazed.

Even the clothes on his body were rustling because of the airflow created by the takeoff of the lotus leaf boat.

Looking at the lotus leaf boat that had completely disappeared, and then thinking of the second-hand paper crane in his storage bag, he suddenly felt that the paper crane was not as fragrant as before.

Zhong Lixiao said with envy, "When I have money in the future, I must buy a flying magic weapon that is faster and more stable than the lotus leaf boat."

During the following period of time, Yuliangzhuang completely returned to its former tranquility.

But there is no slack season in farming, and the land will not be idle for too long. The next step is to plow the land, weed, and sow seeds again.

In particular, the "fertilizer technique" must be used for several rounds in a row, otherwise the poor soil will not be able to support the planting of new rice.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help feeling depressed. He was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to look around for the seeds of magical powers.

Must find time to fix this!
