Wen Rensheng quickly recovered his thoughts, he had just traveled through time.
Traveling to where?
At least not in a modern city.
Ancient times, immortals, fantasy, mystery, gods...
The novels and stories he had read were flooding in his mind.
While it was flooding, it didn't affect him getting up and leaving the thatched house.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard a voice outside:
"Qingyun Sect is accepting people, Qingyun Sect is coming to accept people!"
"Young and old men, come here quickly!"
"Whether it's a dragon or an insect, it depends on this time!"
Qingyunmen, such a familiar name, could it be that I have traveled to a world of immortals?
Wen Rensheng immediately thought, and at the same time, he felt that he seemed to have lost many important memories.
But he was not panicked.
Loss is loss, but his IQ is not lost.
His character has not been lost, his rationality has not been lost, and unless it is a desperate situation in hell, he can still find a way out.
Just as I was thinking about it, a crystal clear seed suddenly appeared in my mind.
Turquoise, crystal red, mixed together to release light.
"The seed of immortality."
Such information appeared in his mind inexplicably.
"The seed of immortality has unlimited lifespan and immortality, but you will still die if you are fatally injured."
Good guy, isn’t this the infinite lifespan fairy tale I’ve read before?
Wen Rensheng also reads a lot of novels.
After all, he needed to decompress after work, so he neither smoked nor drank, so he had no choice but to read novels.
Of course he won't indulge.
And because of my high intelligence, I can deduce the rest of the plot by reading the first 30,000 words, and then leave once I see an idea.
Now he has reached the end of all cultivation in one step: immortality.
But it's not immortality.
If you are cut, you will die.
The question arises, how can an immortal be safely hidden in a world of immortals?
Wen Rensheng returned to his thatched cottage.
There were only two broken chairs, a bed covered with weeds, and a broken quilt in the thatched house.
Wen Rensheng simply sat cross-legged on the bed.
With a sharp mind, I started thinking about what to do next.
First of all, you have to live like an ordinary person.
Then get strength.
He might starve to death, he might be poisoned, he might be killed.
A fairy world is often set in the feudal era.
Even slave times.
In the wild and wild places, there are all kinds of monsters and monsters.
Under this general background, there is no power in it, and even if you want to, you can't live in it.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters can take you away in one wave.
A drought might starve him to death, or even if he didn't starve to death, he might still be killed by hungry people.
It would be simple if you were in a modern city.
Changing identities may seem difficult, but there are some things that are simple.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was another voice coming from outside the door.
"Younger of the Wen family, come out for a moment. The Qingyun Sect is accepting people. Go and join in!"
The voice was that of a rough old man, at least thirty-four years old.
The choice begins. Do you want to go to Qingyunmen to recruit students this time?
Wen Rensheng thought about it and decided not to go.
He was not sure whether the immortality seed in his body would be discovered by immortal cultivators.
First of all, what is certain is that his immortality will not be discovered by ordinary people for the time being.
Ordinary people only have naked eyes and cannot see inside their own bodies at all.
Only in modern times can X-rays penetrate internal organs.
He has read many cultivation novels and knows that there is spiritual consciousness, inner vision, and various detection methods.
But he didn't understand what methods the immortal cultivators in the real world had.
So he didn't go.
turn a deaf ear.
Instead, check your own family background.
There are still fifty kilograms of rough millet in the broken vat.
He was the only one left in the family.
He was originally a person who lived here.
A lonely old man in the village took him in for his old age care.
Two years ago, he gave up to the old man, and naturally inherited the other man's three acres of thin farmland and a shabby thatched house.
These three acres of land alone are definitely not enough to eat.
This kind of land can only grow millet.
Wheat cannot be grown, let alone rice.
Fortunately, there is a mountain forest nearby, and the mountain forest belongs to Liu's family in the town.
Liu Dahu had a son who was a scholar and worked as a clerk in the county government by spending money. He also had two sons who worked as bookkeepers.
The family has two thousand acres of land and is rich, so naturally they occupy the unowned mountains and forests.
In fact, this mountain forest should belong to the imperial court.
But the imperial court is far away, so how can anyone watch the mountains and forests every day?
Naturally, it was divided up by the local big players.
The mountains and forests near their village belong to Liu Dahu's family.
Fortunately, Liu's family is a decent family and allows villagers to go into the mountains to hunt and cut firewood in summer and winter.
The premise is that 40% of the income must be paid to their family. If you hunt any rare things by the way, you must also give them to their family.
Of course, the village chief is responsible for this payment.
Liu Dahu doesn’t have that many manpower to watch every day.
It was only when the villagers organized large-scale people to go into the mountains that Liu Dahu's family sent people to keep an eye on them.
As for individual people poaching, they often cannot stand it.
In addition to the income from the forest, Wenrensheng also helped others do long-term and part-time work during the busy farming season.
Even if his own land is taken care of carefully and diligently, three acres will not produce three stones.
Wen Rensheng immediately figured out what he should do.
First, we must solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The next step is to solve the problem of not getting old.
You need to learn to grow a beard and put on makeup. These skills must be learned slowly.
Find some lime and you can get a white beard.
If that doesn't work, go buy the old man's white hair and beard at the market.
Learn to glue beards and hair.
Next comes wrinkles.
As long as we can get across the lake, that's fine.
In this way, Wen Rensheng lived in this Qingshan Village.
He tried to find a place to work.
Then it’s about learning the words of this world.
Learn a few a day, starting from couplets and storytellers.
Finally, relying on some skills in literacy and arithmetic, he found a job settling accounts with Liu Dahu six months later.
Of course it's just about calculating the future of the forest.
Rather than the crucial income from the land, that is something only the Liu family can believe.
The rise of this world is a hundred times more difficult than the Ming Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason is very simple, the Immortal Sect suppresses everything and rules everything.
The imperial court is just the white glove of the Immortal Sect.
Responsible for disaster relief, quelling chaos, and maintenance.
Qingyunmen is the actual ruler of the six nearby counties.
There are no imperial examinations or studies.
The people in the imperial court, from the emperor to the county magistrate, are all disciples of different immortal sects, from servants to outer sects.
The inner disciples will only come here occasionally to have fun and will not hold any actual positions.
As for the true disciples, they are even more contemptuous. They are the ones who are truly qualified to pursue immortality.
Others simply look to immortality.
And Wen Rensheng is now standing directly at the finish line.
Two years later.
Wen Rensheng has upgraded the dilapidated thatched house into a sturdy fire-proof and shock-proof wooden house with lime, and has also adopted two dogs from the village to use as housekeepers.
Someone wanted to introduce his wife to him, but he didn't agree.
And that day, he got the news.
Muramasa came back with ten taels of silver.
Two years ago, two children in the village who were selected to work as handymen in the Qingyun Gate died in the gate because of hard work.
It seemed that there was an accident, but no one knew what the accident was, and no one dared to ask.
There is a pension, five taels of silver are allocated to each person.
The two families whose two children died were actually very happy, just like celebrating the New Year.
People in this mountain village have never seen silver at all.
Wen Rensheng also went to take a look and found that only the mother of the two families was a little sad, but not much.
Their father and grandfather were very happy.
With five taels of silver, I can buy two more acres of land nearby.
In ancient times, the death of a child would not be very painful.
Impossible, after all, as long as they can have children, they will have more than a dozen children in their lifetime.
Many children could not be fed at all and drowned after birth.
This was still the Song Dynasty when there was no exploitation by immortals. The Southern Song Dynasty was known as the most developed economy and overseas trade, and infant drowning was a common practice.
Firstly, they don't know what contraceptive measures are, and secondly, they have nothing to do at night.
More than ten children were about to drown, but now they could get five taels of silver in exchange for it, so of course there would be less pain.
Moreover, these children are all selected when they are six or seven years old, not teenagers.
Otherwise, you will still feel distressed.
After all, children are less likely to die when they are over ten years old. After the age of fifteen, they can probably live to be in their 30s. Those who live past 30s, if nothing else, can live to be 60 or 70 years old.
The prerequisite is that we don't suffer from any famine, plague, or war.
Wen Rensheng heard the news.
There is no sense of joy.
He had long known that this would end.
As a local ruler, if this kind of sect has no backing, no connections, and no special value of its own, it will definitely not be easy for him to get mixed up.
If you have good qualifications and have practice value, that's fine.
If the value is not high, once you enter, you will probably be like the factory workers in the 18th century, who will be exhausted after working for three years.
This is very common.
Normal welfare factories only appeared after two world wars and a Cold War.
They are all achieved through hard work.
Since mortals are not qualified to fight with immortals, how can they expect to give you good treatment?
impossible.
Good treatment can only appear in a game of equal power.
Just like a company, if you can get better treatment by changing jobs, you will be eligible for good treatment. Otherwise, the company will only give you the lowest treatment you can tolerate.
The third year.
Wen Rensheng already has twenty acres of land in his hands, and two families in the village are renting his land.
Immortal sect rule has one biggest advantage.
That means no military spending...
One immortal is equal to one hundred thousand troops.
There is no need for a mortal army at all.
There are only government servants and a small number of guards and servants, who are used to protect the mortals.
Without military expenditure, for feudal society, it would mean a loss of 50% to 70% of expenditure.
Therefore taxes and levies are of little use.
And there is another benefit to the existence of fairy gates.
They only have one assessment indicator for the mortal court: the number of disciples with excellent qualifications produced.
The number of genius disciples produced by mortals is basically a fixed ratio. The larger the population, the higher the absolute number produced.
Here comes the problem. In Wen Rensheng's view, the most rational and cruel approach is to indirectly consume those over fifty who have no labor force after passing the qualification test through various measures.
But there is a problem, that is, once a disciple with genius qualifications appears and he learns that his father or grandfather was killed by the Xianmen in this way, can he still be completely loyal to the Xianmen?
When this kind of measure brings benefits, the disciple's innate loyalty also comes with -20.
Everything is based on the fundamental interests of Xianmen.
Therefore this measure cannot be implemented.
The imperial court would naturally choose to increase the population.
At the same time, try to provide disaster relief and reduce the drowning death rate of infants.
The savings in military expenses are quite good.
Of course there are many disadvantages.
For example, the disciples of the Immortal Sect are unscrupulous.
Those who are addicted to spiritual practice and have some self-cultivation are better. Those people with poor moral character who enter the immortal sect and start wreaking havoc are hundreds of times more harmful than the dandies in the mortal dynasty.
And there are not many people with bad conduct.
A high-ranking official can make people hate him for thousands of years, let alone these immortals with bad conduct?
Mortals, especially elderly mortals, are inferior to pigs and dogs in their eyes.
The only thing that restricted them from slaughtering a city casually was that a certain mortal was likely to be a fellow sect member or a relative of another monk.
There will be consequences if you kill him.
This is what Wen Rensheng is most worried about.
He doesn't worry about the fights and fights in the world.
With his wisdom, he can always make plans in advance and find a way out.
For example, I recently heard that Liu Dahu wanted to marry his niece, who was born as a concubine, and then further insert himself into the yamen to serve as the third generation official of the Liu family and control the real power of the county.
This road is very good for ordinary people.
But Wen Rensheng naturally refused.
He has the seed of immortality, so doing this involves too much.
But direct refusal will naturally offend Liu Dahu.
But who is Wen Rensheng?
Always wise.
There must be competitors for this good thing.
I found my competitor, a boy who was the second young master of the sixth house of the Liu family, and talked to him for a few words, showing a little bit of pride.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then the young man became competitive and used some force behind his back to snatch this opportunity away...
Not only did Liu Dahu's family not hate him, they also gave him a way to work as the third accountant at his family's inn in the city.
However, getting married must indeed be put on the agenda.
If a mortal has no relatives or descendants, he will definitely be in a lot of trouble.
He has moved into the city, and twenty acres of land in the countryside have been donated to Liu's family, and they will be rented to tenant farmers.
The income is divided into three parts, he gets 30%, Liu Dahu's family gets 30%, and the tenant farmers get 40%.
If there are too few, there will be no one to share the land.
Wen Rensheng didn't care about this, nor did the Liu family. What they cared about was Wen Rensheng's approachable attitude.
After entering the inn and working as a tent clerk for three years, he began to inquire about how to practice martial arts.
The most natural thing is the immortal method.
But the immortal method can only be found in the immortal sect.
Anyone who touches it will die.
Unless you are a genius.
As for saying that immortal magic can be copied, if you think too much, many famous books in ancient times will be banned, and in the end they will not be passed down.
What's more, it's the immortal method under the management of the immortal sect?
Therefore, ordinary people cannot see the magic of immortality.
The village is called Qingshan Village, and the city is also called Qingshan City.
There is a martial arts gym in the city called Qingshan Martial Arts Hall.
There is no limit to learning martial arts, you can learn it if you give money.
One tael of silver can be used to learn entry-level martial arts, twelve taels of middle-class martial arts, a hundred taels of silver can be used to enter a family, and a thousand taels of silver can be used to learn the true teachings. The price is clearly marked, and no one can deceive anyone.
The owner of the museum is so down-to-earth. He is also the son-in-law of the Wang family, another big family in the city.
To be honest, there is no need to cherish these martial arts, because the magic is on top.
And it comes every three years.
It's just the same. Once you learn it, you can't spread it privately. If you are caught, your martial arts will be abolished, your limbs will be broken, and you will become a useless person.
These martial arts are tools that people have used to extract the blood and sweat of the common people for generations and monopolize knowledge.
