My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 6 Extensive Management

"Changchuan, be careful of this person."

After Shen Shiying and his group had completely disappeared from sight, Han Qinhu, the maternal grandfather behind them, hesitated for a moment.
In the end, I went up to him and whispered a reminder in his ear.

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

“Shen Shiying didn’t show himself at first, but sent his son instead. It’s clear he doesn’t take us seriously. And the way Shen Shaochong acted just now, he was obviously trying to cause trouble and give us a hard time.”

"But later, for some reason, I changed my mind."

"He said he wanted to take some local specialties back with him, so he took things from the village's treasury. That reason is really far-fetched. In my opinion, his original intention was probably to empty the entire village!"

"I just don't know why his attitude suddenly changed so drastically."

Han Qinhu whispered his analysis in Shen Changchuan's ear.

Although he was not a cultivator.
But having traveled all over the country and lived most of my life, I've seen a lot of things.

The inconsistency between the beginning and the end is so obvious.

The other party was most likely up to no good from the start!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I understand."

"The situation should be similar to what you described, and these five spirit stones and the Spirit Eye Technique are most likely due to the other party's apology and attempt to make amends."

"I won't assume he's a good person just because he's good at selling things."

"But there's no need to worry."

"After all, the Shen family is so big, it's hard to say whether we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Shen Changchuan weighed the small cloth bag containing five spirit stones in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke.

I lived in constant fear and trepidation for two and a half years in the treacherous environment of the Shen family compound.

Having witnessed the brutal internal struggles within powerful families, Shen Changchuan was no longer the naive, clueless new employee he was in his previous life.

Naturally, one would not easily lower one's guard against strangers.

What is certain is that

If Shen Changchuan were to encounter Shen Shiying in the future, he would only remain wary.

Of course,
He wouldn't deliberately make enemies with the other party because of this.

Although the other party may have ill intentions at first, and may even be hiding some schemes.

But at least what was being targeted didn't actually happen.

On the contrary, the other party even paid out a large sum of money to him, didn't they?
What didn't happen,
Shen Changchuan naturally wouldn't sit idly by and create an enemy for himself.

"The reason Shen Shiying changed his mind so quickly is probably related to that big guy, right?!"

Shen Changchuan's eyes flashed back to the expression on the other party's face when he saw the giant wild boar carcass on the carriage, and he understood and made a rough guess.

Perhaps the opponent saw the corpse of the giant wild boar, which he had killed with a single blow and was at least at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and was therefore wary, which is why he overturned his original plan.

This is not difficult to understand.

Someone once said that after you become famous, everyone around you is a good person.

Whether you consider fame or ability, it's all the same.

When you become powerful, many good people will appear around you.

"Forget it, never mind it."

"Even if we meet again in the future, that's a matter for the future. Let's go back first. Right now, the most important thing is to get everything in Dawan Village under our control. We can't afford any mistakes."

Shen Changchuan spoke up.

Han Qinhu, who was standing to the side, also nodded.

"That's true." The group then turned and left.

After much effort, Shen Changchuan and his group, who had moved into Banshan Courtyard, smoothly took over the entire Dawan Village and completed the power transition.

There were no major setbacks during this process.

Although there were some difficulties and chaos, fortunately no one resisted, and everything went very smoothly.

This is not surprising at all.
Although this Dawan Village was established to serve the immortals by cultivating spiritual fields, and its population is mostly composed of martial artists, some of whom are even criminal martial artists who have been captured and brought here to work as laborers.

But after all, the gap between cultivators and ordinary martial artists is simply too great.

It is so large that it is almost impossible to cross.

Even if there were any unruly and rebellious individuals among them, they would probably have been killed by Shen Shiying and his group in the past few years.

The rest of the people had already been tamed.

Even if it wasn't out of genuine loyalty and obedience, at least they wouldn't rebel, but would follow the orders given by the immortal master.

With the help of his maternal grandfather Han Qinhu, his maternal uncle Han Dayong, and others,
Shen Changchuan quickly took over the power of Dawan Village and took control of the entire village.

However, after he had a lot of information reported and sorted through it to understand the situation in Dawang Village,
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The village gave him the impression of being chaotic.
confusion!

The entire Dawan Village has about a few hundred households and a population of around two thousand.

Among these people were elderly martial artists who were among the first to come and take up their posts after the Shen family acquired Dawan Village twenty years ago.

There are also ordinary warriors who are recruited or detained from mortal forces every few years.

Some left after their term of service was up, while others were killed for stealing spirit grains or for resisting due to their unruly behavior.

Some people stayed here to marry and have children, hoping to gain a connection with the immortals by serving them, and even started a family in Dawan Village.

These numerous changes have completely disrupted the household registration records of Dawancun.

The previous garrison commander, Shen Shiying, also managed the area very poorly.

The management authority of the entire village was basically delegated to the household steward, and the servants usually managed it.

When the time came to sow the spirit grain, the steward would take a whip and drive the villagers to the spirit fields to turn the soil and sow the seeds. After that, the steward would select some villagers to form a patrol team to patrol around the spirit fields day and night, occasionally clearing weeds, pests and diseases.

When it's harvest time, all the villagers will be mobilized to harvest the spirit grains from the spirit fields.

At most, he personally supervised the villagers to prevent them from secretly taking the ripe spirit grains.

Overall, however, it was a very extensive management approach.

Just like feudal lords managing the production of their serfs, they only put some effort into the management of the spiritual fields, while managing other areas was extremely extensive.

Shen Shiying probably doesn't even know how many people there are in the entire Dawan Village!
For this,

Having traveled through time for two and a half years and gained some understanding of this world, Shen Changchuan could understand.

In this world, cultivators are high above all others.

Even the worst-performing cultivator, whose cultivation level is only at the beginner level, can still build a great foundation in the mortal world.

Such an existence allows them to manage and operate the land.

It's similar to how the young masters and noblemen of wealthy and powerful families in ancient times managed the farmland in the countryside!
Being able to reach that level is already quite impressive!
Understanding is one thing,
As a time traveler, Shen Changchuan was clearly dissatisfied with the chaotic state of Dawan Village.

"Reform! Reform is imperative!"

"Such a crude serf manor-style management is undoubtedly a huge waste of human and material resources!"

"Now that Dawancun has become my place of business and management, the more production I generate, the more benefits I will receive. The production here is related to my future cultivation path, so this must be changed!"

After roughly understanding the specific situation in Dawancun, Shen Changchuan made a decision.
