"Old Heavenly Master? She has been fighting in the Northern Frontier all her life. How could she be someone who is content to work and study in the fields?"

Shu shook his head, obviously not being fooled by Yuan Congqian, "You, you call me younger by who knows how many years, and call me sister, but you don't even trust your sister."

She could tell that the old Taoist priest had indeed had contact with and helped Yuan Congqian, but it was obviously illogical. Shu couldn't imagine the old Taoist priest walking barefoot in the paddy fields like a farmer wearing a bamboo hat.

"Master Shu, I..."

Just as Yuan Congqian was about to explain, Shu covered his mouth and said with a smile, "As a sister, how could I not tolerate such a thing by my brother? When you think the time is right, tell me."

Shu's hands have a fragrant scent of vanilla.

Judging from the style of the brother in the porridge bar, it looks like a piece of cake.

"If you need me, just go to the fields and shout."

She put down her hand, put an observation report in Yuan Congqian's hand, and helped him hold it tightly.

"We are a family with troublesome personalities. My brothers and sisters also say that I love nagging like Sister Jie. They must have caused you a lot of trouble. Just order me around more and don't blame them."

"No, I have been well taken care of by you all."

Yuan Congqian spoke sincerely.

His eldest brother, second brother, your elder sister, and Ji have all helped him a lot.

"I'm looking forward to what Dahuang City will become this year, little Shennong brother."

Shu let go of Yuan Congqian's hand, waved at him, smiled, and left the crop germplasm bank.

Shu had been in the Great Wasteland City for nearly a thousand years. As the status of Simaitai increased, she was supervised more and more by the Candle Holder. However, strangely, the Candle Holder ran away without a word half a month ago, and no news has been heard since then.

The second brother only told her that there was a man named Yuan Congqian who had done a favor to their family. As for what kind of favor he had done, the second brother was vague and said that she would know about it in the future. She didn't expect to meet him in the Great Desert City.

I didn't expect that the opponent's Originium skill was actually related to catalytic plants, and...

Shu recalled the other party's speech on the stage of the Shennong Temple Society. To sum it up, there is only one word: sincerity. If he treats the people of Dahuang City with a sincere attitude, the people of Dahuang City will naturally vote with their feet and cast their hearts for him.

"I've waited for a thousand years. It turns out there are such extraordinary people in the world."

What made Shu's eyes turn red was that he could not only make people rich, but also feed all of Da Yan, and he had really proved that he was capable of doing it. To be frank, as long as he cultivated Shennong Xiangyu well, he would have achieved his goal!

Chapter 131: Dahuang City is very close, let’s go tonight!

Mobile city Langyin, core urban area.

At 6pm, Langyin Tianshifu Agricultural College.

In the office of the Yuanzheng, a bureaucrat in luxurious clothes who looked down on others stood in front of Xi Tianshi with his arms folded across his chest and a face full of arrogance. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of despising Tianshi.

"Director, no matter what you say, the government's expenditure is limited. We have made an exception once before. I'm sorry that I cannot approve your proposal to open a laboratory for rice seeds that are resistant to 8% Originium contamination."

"Has an exception been made before?"

Xi Tianshi's chest heaved with anger, and his face, with its gray hair, turned red.

"The expenses of the Tianshi Mansion have been decreasing year by year. The Western Country won't sell rice seeds that are resistant to 6% pollution, so we can only cultivate them ourselves! We have already found improved varieties, but you said that you haven't completed the agreement with the prefect and want to further cut expenses?"

"Dean, I understand your efforts, but the most expensive institution is your Agricultural College."

There was no sincerity on the bureaucrat's face.

It is definitely false that agricultural colleges cost the most money, but it is true that agricultural colleges make the least money.

In the Langyi Tianshi Mansion, the Tianshi of other colleges were funded by merchants, so how could merchants fund the agricultural college that had no results? Xi Tianshi was very famous in agricultural science, but so what? He was researching rice seeds that were resistant to source stone pollution, which was a long way off!

Both the Langyi prefect and the bureaucrats were constantly looking for reasons to cut spending at the Agricultural College.

"How much money can you spend on farming? You can't even spend money on farming?"

His words made Xi Tianshi even more angry: "Langyi prefect is building the Phoenix Gate at the exit of the city, and he wants to carve a hundred feathered beasts on the pillars! He invited thousands of carvers, and I wonder how much money the prefect spent?"

"What you said is true. This Langyi Phoenix Gate is an auspicious building for praying for Queen Yuan."

The bureaucrat spoke lightly, and Xi Tianshi's question was choked in his throat.

"All officials and ministers are praising the prosperous times, so naturally the local authorities will also pay tribute to the queen, the mother of the country. With this reason as a basis, I think the court director can understand the helplessness and painstaking efforts of the prefect, right?"

He threw a thick stack of laboratory establishment applications on the desk, not even bothering to write the word "disapproved". He turned around, swung his sleeves, and walked out of the door of the institute's office.

As soon as the officials left, several agricultural masters rushed in.

Master Xi Tianshi sat dejectedly on the bench. When he saw several of his students coming in, he frowned.

"Have you finished the experiment? Are you running around here?"

"Teacher, there is a letter from Dahuang City. It's from Senior Brother Lu!"

The name mentioned by the Agricultural Master made Xi Master stunned.

Langyi is between Dahuang City and Baizao, but closer to Dahuang City, so the correspondence is very fast. However, after Lu Yingshi graduated from Tianshi of Langyi Agricultural College, he devoted himself to farming and took the initiative to go to Dahuang City. There has been no news for a long time.

"Do you have any questions for me? You don't know how to answer them?" Xi Tianshi asked in confusion, and habitually picked up the water cup he carried with him and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Several agricultural masters looked at each other and handed the opened letter to Master Xi.

"Teacher, Senior Brother Lu...it's better for you to take a look at him yourself."

"What are you doing? You're playing tricks like that... haha!"

Xi Tianshi snorted and took the letter written by Lu Yingshi to their Langyi Agricultural College, which was covered with densely scribbled small characters. As soon as he saw it for the first time, he sprayed out all the water.

The beginning of the letter was a bombshell that shocked his heart: the latest research result of Baizao Tianshi Mansion that was made public on a small scale, an experimental crop of the genus Apple in the Rosaceae family, Shennong Xiangyu, can be grown and survive in soil with a source stone pollution level below 60%.

During the flowering period, Shennong jade can absorb and reduce the average 3% of the source stone pollution in the soil, and enrich the crystallized flowers of the source stone for purification. At present, we are facing difficulties in the research of pollen. The existing research conditions in Dahuang City cannot observe the black unknown light-absorbing substances in it. We request Master Xi Tian to bring his fellow apprentices to Dahuang City to assist in the research and bring instruments and equipment.

Lu Yingshi believes that the black unknown light-absorbing substance in the pollen needs a diffraction pattern to determine whether its structure is close to the naturally formed source stone crystal. There may be a plant enzyme that can convert the source stone components into biological macromolecules...

At this point, Xi Tianshi could no longer bear to watch.

Every word above jumps back and forth within the realm of his authority.

"What do you mean? You're here to make me happy."

He became serious, with a stronger anger in his eyes than when he was humiliated by the bureaucrats: "Is this your attitude towards academics? Xiao Lu dares to write, so you dare to give it to him? Where did you find this science fiction novel?"

"Teacher, Lu Yingshi guarantees that it is absolutely true. There is also a confidentiality agreement to be signed with the seal of the Great Wilderness Tianshi Mansion. The authenticity should be guaranteed to a certain extent..."

"There are only three registered Heavenly Masters in the Great Wilderness Heavenly Master Mansion!"

Xi Tianshi was extremely angry and took out the confidentiality agreement placed under the letter paper.

"Even if he made up a 6% or 12% figure for me, I would still believe it. Look at what he wrote! Soil with 60% Originium contamination, is that soil or Originium solid rock? Why didn't he say that Shennong enlightened him?"

Even Shennong doesn't dare to say that he can grow vegetables on Guyuan Rock.

I opened the confidentiality agreement and saw it was full of names.

There is no doubt that the group of agricultural masters under his command have already signed their names on it, stamped their master seals, and are planning to go to Dahuang City to join their senior brother Lu!

As for myself, I was the last one to be notified!

Xi Tianshi was so emotional that he laughed out of anger.

Did Shennong really get welcomed back by Dahuang City? Did he directly bring out the agricultural research results that would not have been possible in a hundred years, and ask him to help Lu Yingshi to fake academic achievements? You can ask the academic circle and Western scholars, who would believe it?

"Leave one person to watch the house, and I'll go take a look with you little bastards."

He took out his own Heavenly Master Seal, which was a little bigger than before, and stamped it on the confidentiality agreement: "If you dare to make trouble, I will report you all to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and you will never be able to become a Heavenly Master in your lifetime!"

Anyway, he didn't want to stay in Langyi anymore.

Langyi Mobile is progressing rapidly in urbanization, and corruption is also progressing rapidly. The atmosphere of commerce is very strong, but the bandits cannot be completely eliminated, and the number of caravans is increasing. What is going on?

Xi Tianshi relied on his transcendent status as a Tianshi and did not want to meddle in the mundane affairs of the city's bureaucracy. However, the prefect used the excuse of building auspicious buildings for the empress to directly cut the expenses of the Tianshi Mansion's Agricultural College. It was hard for him not to be angry.

It's just right. It would be nice to go to Dahuang City to relax and teach these agricultural masters who don't farm well a lesson.

Xi Tianshi thought for a moment, took the letter, and waved his hand: "Go and arrange the convoy. Dahuang City is very close, and we will leave tonight!"

Chapter 132: No longer an ordinary gangster

There was more than one convoy heading to Dahuang City.

Calculating the time, the Ursus industrial platform construction team should also enter the territory of Yan Country. In addition, Master Ping patted his chest and promised that he would invite his teacher and his construction team to Dahuang City. If he couldn't invite them, he would pay to dig Master over.

It was impossible to bring the rare and unique Shennong jade to other mobile cities. It would never be possible in my lifetime. The two Heavenly Masters of the Great Wilderness were trying every means to recruit people for the Great Wilderness City, looking for old friends of their mentor, and their success rate in recruiting people was 100%.

Yuan Congqian was not idle either.

Originium has a great influence on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and communication base stations are also carried out through Originium circuits. Tonight, the communication between Dahuang and the capital seems to have been blocked by a small natural disaster, and only paper letters can be used.

Yuan Congqian wrote down the demand for agricultural drones and held Qiu Fengshu's hand.

"I'll have to trouble Miss Qiu to deliver this letter to Mr. and Mrs. Wright."

"I won't let you down."

Qiu Fengshu took the letter solemnly and hesitated a little. "It's just that there are bandits and mountain bandits active in the east of Dahuang City, roaming around the mountains and seas. There are also rumors that the bandits are colluding with Langyi. Dahuang may be in trouble with bandits..."

"I forgot about suppressing bandits."

Yuan Congqian was reminded of the risk by Qiu Fengshu, and he stood in awe. "It's really ugly to see bandits and robbers wreaking havoc in Da Yan. I will discuss this matter with the Heavenly Masters and I will definitely wipe them out."

When he took office as the village chief of Dahuang City, he made three rules with the villagers, but he even forgot to suppress the bandits.

If we want Dahuang City to become a pearl of agriculture and industry, we must not allow banditry to exist in the surrounding areas.

The bandits must be suppressed, but there is no saying of 70% profit sharing. At most, there are some rich peasants in Dahuang City, but no gentry. The rich have long gone to the neighboring Langyi to become urban residents, and those who remain here are farmhands who are reluctant to give up their farmland.

Qiu Fengshu said with concern: "My dear, be careful and don't put yourself in danger. Swords and knives are easy to dodge, but arrows are hard to guard against. Bandits always like to shoot from behind. My dear, you can write another letter to Lin Simui and send some candlelight men to help."

It would be best if Tianshi Mansion could take action together, which would be safe.

"It's a waste to use the candlelight man to suppress the bandits. I won't go alone, so don't worry, little girl."

Yuan Congqian shook his head. He was not confident enough to challenge the bandit camp alone. He needed at least the help of the Seven-Star Nose Doctor Long Yuan.

Telling Qiu Fengshu not to set off in a hurry, Yuan Congqian came to the crop germplasm bank and interrupted Master Lu who was recording the Shennong jade, "Master Lu, I heard there is a mountain stronghold around Dahuang City?"

"There is indeed a Hunjiang Snake Village in the northeast, with hundreds of young and strong men."

Master Lu pondered for a moment and recalled.

"The village claims that merchants going to Langyi Danyan must pay enough tolls, otherwise they will rob them of all their money and property. It is said that they are very disciplined. Even if there is a lot of money and food on the car, they will give enough and will not take anything else. They will occasionally give candy to children passing by the caravan. They are also known as righteous men who rob the rich and help the poor in the Langyi world."

"Has Dahuang City ever been harassed?"

"No, they only set up checkpoints and traps. The people of Dahuang never leave this town, so how could they be harassed? They killed a lot of people, but they only targeted small merchants. If it were to be made public, it would mean that they did not follow their rules. The Langyi government sent the wilderness to investigate, but they could not find anything, and they were also afraid of being attacked, so in the end, nothing was done."

"Danyan and Langyi, just ignore them?"

"Danyan is too far away, and they are unwilling to contribute manpower and money. Langyi is close, and they collect taxes every year to suppress bandits, but the Hunjiang Snake Village has been roaring in the mountains for nearly ten years, and I haven't heard of any signs of decline."

Master Lu told Yuan Congqian all the hints he could, and then he said, "The so-called righteous men are just a way for people in the underworld to flatter each other. Who would know if they committed a crime? If they knew about the news of Dahuang City, they would probably set up a checkpoint in a few days. The village head must make preparations early."

"It turns out to be the same as the village at Hangu Pass."

Yuan Congqian immediately understood that these were the organized bandits who could not be completely wiped out.

In places like Terra where the government management between cities is more relaxed, officers and soldiers still use cold weapons and bows and crossbows, and the problem of bandits is of course more serious than in previous lives.

The more banditry there are, the more merits officials will have, and the officials will be able to make progress.

But Yuan Congqian felt that Langyi was a bit too urbanized, and there were too many of these three clans of bureaucrats.

When Yu Cheng visited Langyi several decades later, he had to make false evidence to bring down the Langyi prefect, which shows that Langyi is very complicated. I just don't know who is more powerful and tougher among the Langyi officials than the Beijing officials Huang Shilang and Si Sui Tai Qing Fu Tingzhao?

"Master Lu, do you know the exact location of the village?"

"Does the village chief want to suppress the bandits?"

Master Lu advised, "Now the young and strong people in Dahuang City are busy with farming, why not put it aside for a while? Dahuang City has taken on the important task of the capital, I think the True Dragon and the Tianshi Mansion will gradually transfer people to Dahuang City, and they may even send out the Imperial Army to suppress it."

"Tianshi is right. It is safer to send the imperial army to suppress the bandits."

"what?"

Master Lu was shocked. He didn't expect Yuan Congqian to continue talking along his lines.

Yuan Congqian said: "Having been able to confront Langyi for so many years, he is no longer an ordinary bandit. We must strike hard. I will go to the government and ask for the imperial army to suppress the bandits, and ask the Dali Temple and the Suzhengyuan to investigate Langyi!"

After saying that, he fetched paper and ink and went to find Qiu Fengshu to help him write the memorial.

Master Lu, who was halfway through recording the experimental report, became conflicted.

Do you really want to hire the imperial guards?
