After hearing Li's eloquent words, even a shrew like Aunt Wang felt a little embarrassed.
Li didn't have time to chat with them, so she picked up the hoe and walked to the other side.
Only a few people were left looking at each other.
Only Aunt Wang muttered, "I'm not a gentleman."
"You said, do you want us to open up some wasteland? We have food anyway..."
"Are you stupid enough to open up the wasteland in such a bright sun? It's obvious that the drought won't go away for a day or two. Why bother reclaiming the land?"
Auntie Tian on the side sneered.
"If you ask me, food is the most important thing. The farmland is just a carrot dangling for you."
"That's right, what does a little girl know? She would just order people around."
"As long as it doesn't rain in the near future, this wasteland will be useless. It's better to store food and feel at ease."
Several people looked disdainful and separated after chatting for a while. However, Aunt Wang looked at Li who was clearing the land in the distance, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Although it is very tiring to reclaim land, what if... why not just reclaim a few acres casually, so that if someone from the county government comes, it will be easier to report, right?
On the other side, before Li could swing the hoe a few times, a figure quickly ran over.
"My dear, thank you for your hard work. Let me do it next!"
Wang Xun quickly took the hoe and took over the work from Li.
"How's your father-in-law? Is he okay?"
"It's okay, I just sprained my waist, I'll be fine after a rest. But didn't I tell you to just sit there?
Okay, you don't have to work. Look at you, you are all sweaty. What if your skin gets tanned?"
As he spoke, he took out a towel and wiped Li's sweat, muttering:
"I promised my father-in-law that I would take good care of you and keep you fat and plump. If he saw me making you work, he would skin me alive."
Li blushed and pushed him.
"What do you mean by white and fat? Do you think you are raising pigs?"
"Hey, even if it's a pig, it's still my favorite tiny and smartest pig in the world! I don't mind it!"
"Bah!"
Although they were an old couple, Li was still too embarrassed to watch such sweet words. Although she said she disliked it, she felt warm in her heart.
"By the way, what did those people talk to you about just now? What did they say?"
"It's nothing, just some women's words, it doesn't mean anything... it's just sarcastic remarks."
Li swept her hair behind her ears and said casually.
"It's about land reclamation again? Damn it, these people are really something, they don't even bother to reclaim land themselves, and they also cheat and ask others not to do it either!"
"What's wrong, seeing you like this?"
"Isn't it the others? Many people acted like this. They received food but didn't open up much land. They just dug a few times symbolically."
"This... the county government doesn't care?"
"No... but if there is no progress in land reclamation, those who have received food will not be able to receive food again..."
"Some people tried to pretend they had never received the money and continued to claim it, but they were all discovered."
Speaking of this, Wang Xun scratched his head.
"Ah... Actually, I'm also wondering why we have to open up the wasteland at this time. If it doesn't rain, it will be useless to open it up!"
Li pursed her lips, not really knowing what was going on. It was said that the flag officer in charge of the county government was no stranger to this. General Geng was also from the capital, and there was also the princess, so it was impossible that she didn't know...
Could it be that it will rain after a while? Li's thoughts paused and he shook his head.
How is that possible? Although there are rumors that the princess is the reincarnation of a god and is blessed with good fortune, one can tell at once that it is just as false as the emperor's claim that he is the one who has been given the mandate by heaven.
Although Princess Leping compiled documents, presided over the revision of books and created various tools that benefited the country and the people, she was ultimately just a mortal.
Even the Imperial Astronomical Observatory couldn't calculate when it would rain or when there would be a disaster, so how could the princess do it?
Maybe there is something I don't know...
Anyway, since the princess gave them food, they should just open up the wasteland. What if...
Even if it didn't rain, if they could get through this period of time, the quota would be here, and it would be no big deal to just start over. After all, that person with outstanding temperament and extraordinary qualities would not lie to them.
The land reclamation matters were presided over by Qizhou, and Keqing did not interfere much. In fact, land reclamation can be said to be important or unimportant.
She didn't expect the refugees to reclaim much land, she just wanted to find something for them to do.
If things don’t pan out later, it will be useless to reclaim more land.
Thinking of this, Keqing frowned.
"This amount of divine power is totally insufficient..."
The divine power needed to call the wind and rain is massive and enormous. If you want to revive the divine power afterwards, you also need a huge amount of divine power to operate it, so as to maintain the idea of endless life and repetition.
This is like chickens laying eggs, and eggs hatching chickens. If you want more chickens, you need more eggs in the early stages. Either way, you need a huge amount of divine power as a foundation.
However, it is unlikely that we can obtain so much divine power in the short term, so we can only borrow external aid.
Thinking of this, Keqing's consciousness sank into the Li Seal and she came to another gray space. There were many spaces inside the Li Seal.
The space before us is one of them.
I saw a huge reflection of mountains and rivers floating in the air, with mountains, rivers, mountains and clouds, as if a miniature version of the mountains and rivers appeared before my eyes.
A huge golden dragon slowly circled in the sky, circling the mountains and rivers.
Countless silk threads spread out from an unknown area, densely packed, and converged towards the golden dragon from all directions, but the golden dragon was already asleep.
What is before our eyes is the embodiment of immense divine power, which is also what Little Coal Ball said, that his divine power comes from the power of faith in the world he lives in.
Keqing took a step forward and gently stroked the sleeping golden dragon with her consciousness.
Logically speaking, the small world cannot restrict faith, but for some reason, the barrier in front of him blocked the connection between himself and his faith.
Although the divine power is stored in the glass seal, he is unable to communicate and use it.
Keqing took a deep breath. No matter what, she needed these beliefs, so she had to awaken them.
She concentrated all her attention on communicating with the divine power that was completely isolated.
And the moment she touched it, the eyes of the golden dragon that manifested divine power trembled slightly, and the projection of the mountains and rivers underground also caused a ripple.
In the space overflowing with golden light, a high-hanging heavenly book that looked like a book and sparkled with golden light also produced a slight fluctuation.
"Huh? Why do I feel like something has appeared... Could it be that the erosion outside has become more serious?"
A surprised voice suddenly sounded in the void, and at the same time, golden light flashed, and the huge energy enveloped all the greedy, treacherous and evil creatures swarming in from outside, turning them into ashes.

Chapter 595: Immortal Cultivator Invasion (5000)
It was as if spring snow was melting and all the darkness around disappeared. However, in just a moment, outside the range of the golden light, those disappeared beings surged forward again, with greed mixed with extreme malice, and strange and inexplicable evil thoughts and evil nature looking down at the hazy light.
"It seems these disgusting guys are getting more and more unable to hold on."
The voice sounded disgusted and powerless, but in a tiny, invisible corner, a flash of inspiration appeared, and no one noticed.
……
……
In Cangzhou, in a brightly lit imperial palace, Xie Yi was tremblingly following the attendant leading the way to the Nongji Hall in the palace, which was in charge of farming.
Gently raising your eyes, you can see pavilions, towers, and flying eaves with animals on them. Hanging animal lanterns are swaying in the wind. There are palace maids coming and going, holding various flowers and objects, and there is also an official in a bright green gown embroidered with emerald green bamboos walking hurriedly in the distance.
The lights were dim, and in the dark night that should have been pitch black, the entire palace was brightly lit.
After looking at the surrounding scenery, Xie Yi suddenly raised his head, then immediately shrank his neck and lowered his head.
"Don't be nervous, my Lord. The Minister of Agriculture has a cheerful and open personality and is very easy to get along with. He will not easily embarrass others. Your Excellency does not need to worry."
"What's more, although Lord Xie is an agricultural official in the county, he has created high-yield and good varieties that are beneficial to the country of Li. Even the Minister of Agriculture is happy about it."
"Is the Grand Minister of Agriculture really that easy to talk to?" Xie Yi poked his head out and asked quietly.
Everyone in Li Kingdom knows Lord Si Nong nowadays. Ever since the goddess Li succeeded to the throne and went into hiding, the two major figures in charge of Li Kingdom are the Grand Si Nong and Lord Regent Wang Sui.
One is in charge of the land and killing in the world, and the other is in charge of Li's internal affairs and officials. Now Li country is thriving, the people are prosperous, and it is constantly expanding. However, in just a few decades, all the territories have surrendered, and all of this is inseparable from the two adults.
As the people of Li Kingdom traveled all over the country, the name of Li Kingdom spread far and wide, and people from all directions submitted to it. Even the people of other countries knew the story clearly. Xie Yi was a former official of Jiang Kingdom. The royal family of Jiang Kingdom was corrupt and extremely extravagant. There was constant corruption in the court, and the people in the country were living in misery.
As a man with ideals and ambitions, Xie Yi naturally disliked such a corrupt officialdom. As a result, he was demoted to a farm official in a small county because he offended someone.
As an agricultural official, I saw that the people were suffering, while the upper-level officials were extravagant and wasteful. They only ate the duck tongues and chicken breasts, and threw away the rest. It was really heartbreaking.
Therefore, Xie Yi decided to study how to grow high-yield crops. If the crops were high-yield, the people would be able to have enough food to eat.
He had also heard of the Li Kingdom, a new country that had risen in recent years. It was said to have been founded by an insurgent group called the Li Sect. It was also said that the Li Sect was founded by a goddess from the Ninth Heaven.
Xie Yi was used to this and didn't take it seriously. Wasn't every uprising in history accompanied by various auspicious signs? There were countless people who claimed to be messengers sent by heaven or gods and immortals descending to earth.
But Xie Yi knew that there were no gods in this world, only cultivators of immortality. Those cultivators had great magical powers. They could make clouds float away with a flip of their hands, but killing people from a distance was a piece of cake for them.
The Jiang Kingdom had a cultivator who served as the national teacher. Because of this, even though the Jiang Kingdom was so corrupt and extravagant, no one could overthrow it.
But when he heard that Jiang State was defeated and annexed by Li State and all members of the Jiang royal family were captured, how surprised Xie Yi was!
He was devoted to studying seeds and had not cared about worldly affairs for a long time. When he learned that not only Jiang Kingdom had lost but also several surrounding countries had been annexed by Li Kingdom one by one, the horror in his heart set off a huge wave.
Where does this Li country come from?
I thought my research had come to an end. After all, the Jiang Kingdom was gone and my career as an official had ended.
But who could have imagined that the Li Kingdom not only sent a group of strange officials to quickly take over the local county town, but also brought in a large number of strange tools, such as those that could speed up weaving and water wheels that could transport water, solving the local irrigation and weaving problems at an incredible speed.
Not only that, they also generously established schools to provide free education to the people. When they learned that he was researching high-yield and high-quality varieties, they even took the initiative to provide manpower and sent people to help. It was precisely because of this that Xie Yi was able to finally produce gratifying results.
As soon as this result came out, he was summoned by the legendary Lord Sinong and rushed all the way to Lidu.
It must be said that Lidu was really big and bustling, with stalls of all sizes displaying pearls and silks, and every household was filled with beautiful things. It was countless times more prosperous than the Jiang State he had seen. In comparison, the Jiang State was just like a deserted country county town.
When Xie Yi thought of such a prosperous scene, in contrast to other countries that were vulnerable and only knew how to fight for power, he felt a little awed and a little scared.
How could such a country like Li be stopped from conquering other countries?
So when he thought about meeting those two legendary figures soon, his heart trembled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie, Mr. Sinong is very easy to talk to."
"Yes, I'm relieved..."
Xie Yi nodded quickly, trying to calm down.
Come.
But at this moment.
There was a loud bang, the earth shook, and suddenly flames rose from the distant palace. The earth-shaking sound was deafening, as if it would tear the eardrums apart.
"What! What happened!?"
The attendants were startled, and Xie Yi also stared at the sky with wide eyes.
I saw countless fire rains falling from the sky, and a group of figures were suspended in the air, looking down at the ground with a cold look.
"It's a cultivator!"
Xie Yi widened his eyes!
"Who dares to invade the capital of our Li country?"
A clear voice suddenly rang out.
As the fire rain spread, the entire palace was a sea of fire, and the immortal cultivators above were suspended in the air.
Soon after, a burst of dense footsteps could be heard, and then a group of royal guards dressed in armor, holding steel spears, and marching towards them in neat steps with strong and powerful movements.
Leading the group was a woman wearing a crisp skirt with long sleeves embroidered with green wheat seedlings that swayed in the firelight as she walked. A jade crown was neatly worn on her head.
Her brows were furrowed, and her gentle expression, like a mountain stream, instantly turned into ice chips in the coldest days of winter, as cold as ice when she saw the immortal cultivator above.
"Lord Sinong is here, that's great..."
