Today's Yanxia Cave, because a large number of people enter and explore it every moment, each area gradually has its own name.
Even some secret areas that have never been opened have been given various names by the idle Zhen Guandong, Xiao Pixiu, Ji Yingzhe and others.
As for Sita Valley, its predecessor was originally filled with many spiritual plants and fruit trees. Although most of them have been transplanted at this time, the land itself is extremely fertile, and it is also the best spiritual land in the cave.
Ten acres of the land were allocated by Tie Tang to Quan Liangce more than a month ago for growing asparagus rice. I didn’t expect to have a harvest so quickly.
When he arrived with everyone, he saw dragon shadows in the Sitai Valley, and rice plants with a height of one foot standing on the spiritual field.
The plump dragon beard rice is so heavy that the rice ears are half bent down, and they are bloody, just like real dragon beards, fluttering in the wind.
Tie Tang reached out and cut off half of the rice plant. He held the root with his left hand and gently stroked it to peel off all the dark red hard shell of the rice.
Then he opened his palms, and more than a hundred asparagus rice seeds were lying in his palms. The orifice shell on the body fell off, revealing the true appearance inside.
Wisps of red light flashed, and the asparagus rice was crystal clear, like red crystal, but different.
These grains of rice are about the size of an ordinary person's thumb, more than ten times larger than ordinary rice, and are naturally engraved with stripes of Taoism on the surface of the body, vaguely looking like a roughly carved dragon head with flying beards.
.
Everyone was amazed when they saw it!
Such spiritual creatures...
Even if you haven’t eaten it yet, you can still feel the extraordinary taste.
Quan Liangce said cautiously: "Sir, maybe this place is full of spiritual energy and fertile spiritual soil, but I didn't expect that we could achieve such a harvest in just over a month.
This is your continuous good fortune and God’s blessing!”
Tie Tang laughed and scolded: "I didn't expect that even though you look honest, there are times when you are flattering.
You don’t have to do this in the future.
Let me tell you, these ten acres of asparagus rice... how effective are they? How many people can they eat for how long?"
As soon as he mentioned his housekeeping skills, Quan Liangce's expression changed instantly, and he pointed to the tall and prosperous rice fields in front of him, which were like the shade of trees.
"After all, this is the first time for grassroots farmers to plant it, and it is far from reaching the limit of asparagus rice. According to ancient records at home, the top level of asparagus rice should be three feet high, with a yield of 100,000 per mu.
Nowadays, the asparagus rice cultivated by grassroots farmers can only achieve a yield of about 30,000 jins per mu. Ten acres of land has about 300,000 jins of coarse grains. After being refined, it will be about 240,000 to 50,000 jins.
This asparagus rice is full of vitality and implies the dragon charm of heaven and earth. A single grain of rice for ordinary people is enough to nourish the body.
If it is given to physically powerful warriors or even shamans, it can also strengthen their bones and blood, and refine their Qi.
The peeled orifice shell can also be used to refine and feed spiritual pets and spiritual animals, which is much better than other medicinal foods."
"Okay, but more than two hundred thousand catties... is still too little. Not to mention supplying Qingshui City, even if it is just for my soldiers, it is far from enough.
In addition to increasing the yield per mu, I also want you to plant more spiritual fields to significantly increase the yield.
What are your requirements?"
Tie Tang doesn't know much about farming, but he also knows that to significantly increase production, it can't be achieved by simply expanding the production area.
Sure enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, Quan Liangce looked troubled.
"It doesn't matter what you ask for, whether it's people, property, or anything else, I will do my best to satisfy you!"
Quan Liangce did not dare to hide it and said truthfully: "Sir, in addition to increasing the yield per mu, the grassroots are also confident of shortening the cultivation cycle of asparagus rice.
This was Cao Min's first planting, and it took more than a month. If he spent more effort on research, it could be shortened to at least twenty days, or even half a month.
It’s just...
There are only 16 people in total including the common people and relatives and friends. Some people can be mobilized from home and the countryside.
But even if they are added, it is not enough to significantly increase production while conducting research.
The grassroots need...more manpower!"
"What did I think? It's no problem to ask for help. Lieutenant Li, is there any difficulty in sending sergeants to come in batches to help?"
"This is a small matter." Li Qingwan happily agreed.
Being able to enter the Yanxia Cave is already an opportunity, not to mention coming in to do other things. She believes that the soldiers under her have no reason to disagree.
However, after Quan Liangce heard this, he was still a little confused: "Sir, ordinary sergeants don't know much about farming, so they only do hard work such as cultivating spiritual fields, transplanting rice seedlings, and fertilizing.
We also need a group of talented people who know about farming and mulberry farming..."
Tie Tang pondered for a moment and noticed.
"That's it...I will set up another Agriculture and Mulberry Department, and promote you to the rank of ninth-grade director, to take charge of the Agriculture and Mulberry Department, recruit professionals in this field, and you will personally educate them.
You are a role in this industry, so you can recruit some talents you have met in the past. If you have any recommended talented people, you can also let me know."
Quan Liangce was startled when he heard this. He never expected that Tie Tang would ask him to become an official, and for a moment he was a little afraid to agree.
He Changsheng on the side smiled and said: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you thank Master Tie quickly."
Quan Liangce bowed hurriedly, tears welling up in his eyes, and he cried with joy: "Common people, thank you, sir!"
"It's just a ninth-grade Zhima official. It's a trivial matter. If you handle the matter well, I will report it to the court and give you a reward."
"Being favored by adults is already a blessing cultivated by ordinary people in previous lives. How dare you ask for anything else?"
Tie Tang stepped forward and helped him up: "People have the ambition to reach the sky, and it cannot be achieved without luck. You are a person with real abilities. Meeting me is the beginning of your destiny. There is no need to be humble.
In this case, we will not talk about these scenes.
Since you can grow asparagus rice, you have some confidence in cultivating other spiritual plants. I don’t expect you to succeed in everything. You can take your time and try step by step.
I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time!"
After speaking, Tie Tang took out a piece of cloth, which contained purple light dew, celestial flower, fire lotus jade, red jujube and other spiritual objects and seeds of precious fruits.
Quan Liangce bowed again and accepted the order happily: "I am a humble person, but I am valued by the adults. I will do my best and live up to the great kindness."
Tie Tang comforted him with a few words, and then summoned officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to decide on the Nongsang Department. He would deal with the finances, record the records separately, and put it directly under Tie Tang's jurisdiction, eliminating the possibility of making things difficult and accepting bribes in other links.<
/p>
After leaving Yanxia Cave and returning to the county government office.
Li Qingwan seemed to have endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "You established a street department before, and now you have opened a agriculture and mulberry department.
Opening new departments everywhere like this is more like a royal court than a royal court. Aren’t you afraid of being used by people who are interested in making a fuss about it?”
"Master Li's words... are also something we are worried about. Please think twice." Lu Zhengqing, He Changsheng, and Qiu Zhengyang all spoke out.
Tie Tang's actions were somewhat inappropriate. The previous Street Division alone gave Feng Yi a headache.
Li Qingwan and others are also well versed in officialdom, and they are afraid that this will cause problems.
I don’t want Tie Tang to burst into laughter when he hears this question.
A few moments.
Only then did Tie Tang, who was sitting in the main seat, put away his smile, looked around at the several Qingshui officials around him, and tapped the armrest with his fingers.
"Everyone, if you can be ranked second on the life and death list... the things you dare to do will be ten times or a hundred times greater than Tie's.
Since I have taken on the position of county governor, I naturally want to seek benefits for my neighbors.
Those official tactics.
Although I have won you, you may not be able to do anything to me, so you can rest assured."
Several people were stunned, not only shocked by Tie Tang's audacity, but also realized that he was different from the past.
He is no longer the green young man he met for the first time, but has achieved a great reputation and is the lord of a county who is well-known in Jiangdu.
After dinner.
The four of them walked hand in hand in the corridor of the county government office, each sighing.
He Changsheng suddenly said: "The matter of dispatching masters from major aristocratic families... is easy to do in other places, but there is one city... but it is a bit difficult."
"Lao He, are you talking about Yuncheng?" Qiu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows.
Yuncheng is the hometown of Tietang, and it is also a very barren and backward place with almost no masters.
Li Qingwan waved her hand: "This matter is not difficult. Master Lu and I will each have a witch from our family, and then send an additional witch, plus a few great soul witches to take care of it and guard it."<
/p>
Several people looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with the plan.
At this time, Tie Tang, who returned to Tie Mansion, also felt that there were too few talents around him. He could not find any special talents like Quan Liangce.
After wandering for a few steps, Tie Tang saw Biqi who was practicing martial arts with Shen Siying, and called the pair to sit down and drink together.
After a brief chat, Tie Tang expressed his sorrow.
When Bi Qi heard this, he immediately had an idea: "Brother Tang, if you don't worry about outsiders... you can recruit those people from Yuncheng.
I corresponded with Brother Duan some time ago, and he also did it well and cultivated a group of close followers.
These people are all our own people in Yuncheng. They know the basics and can endure hardships. They are definitely trustworthy people."
Only then did Tie Tang think of Duan Jingrui, who was a calm man, and couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.
"Okay, Xiaoqi, why don't you take a trip and bring them back together with the pro-jumbo."
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I miss you very much. Brother Tang, don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."
Tie Tang smiled and said: "Take your time. When you come back, I will have some benefits for you."
Bi Qi didn't care and left immediately, taking Shen Siying out with him.
As soon as he stepped forward, a figure flew down from the void, shouting: "Iron head, what's the benefit? I want it too, I want it too."
Tianwen, Li Geng, and Feng Bingyao appeared and sat down one after another. Their robes were stained with some fist marks and palm shadows, obviously they had fought a lot before.
"You, Leiyin Temple, don't have any good stuff, so why would you like this crap like me?"
"Forget it, I still dare not go back. I always feel like there are monsters in the door. If you have any good things, take them out and see."
Tie Tang didn't hide anything, he took out the jade bottle containing the Nine Turns Golden Elixir and threw it away.
"This thing... is of no use to you."
Tian Wen opened it and recognized the golden elixir immediately: "It turns out to be the Nine Turns Golden elixir. I have eaten this thing in the physical realm. It is quite delicious. Where did you get so many of them?"
"Jiangdu City gave it to you. Speaking of which, you and the Taoist priest, why don't you take the time to go to the Pavilion of Life and Death to test your abilities?"
When this was mentioned, all three of them stopped and no one dared to speak out.
Even Feng Bingyao remained silent and did not want to talk more.
Obviously with Tie Tang in front of them, they are not completely sure that they will not go to the Pavilion of Life and Death.
"You guys~" Tie Tang shook his head and sighed, but didn't say anything more.
"Not to mention this, since Brother Tie has taught the Immortal Killing Sword, when will he be able to give us a glimpse of the orthodox method in the future?
When a poor Taoist sees his aptitude for killing immortal swords, he will abandon his cultivation and return to the high road.
If everyone is like this, why didn't Brother Tie say it earlier so that we can gain an advantage for future generations?" Li Geng also felt a little itchy after watching Feng Chengdao practice.
Tie Tang made some calculations with his fingers and said slowly: "If it's not Tie who is hiding something, it's really not the right time.
Enlightenment was an accident. He took the first step and allowed me to verify some of my thoughts.
What's more, if you start the path of cultivation early, you may not be able to go far.
When it comes to cultivation time, I am far inferior to you, let alone others, but you and I both know what the situation is now.
Taoist brother, don't be impatient, you will eventually attain Taoism."
Li Geng sighed softly: "I also know that we are too anxious. In fact, in terms of strength, the great monk and I are not weaker than anyone else.
It's just that your progress is too fast, and your cultivation has been rapid, which finally made me even have a desire to compare."
"Tietou is a monster. We can't compete with her. If we compete, we have to compete with her." Tianwen pursed his lips towards Feng Bingyao.
The latter sneered: "Just now you two were unable to resist me together, you are still so far away from me."
Just as Tie Tang was about to speak, the sea of consciousness suddenly shook, and a half-cut monument flew out from the center of Zifu's eyebrows, and began to grow with a rumble when it landed.
In less than a moment, an incomplete glazed tower appeared, and the sound of the boundary monument also sounded in Tie Tang's mind.
"It's a pity. I was also severely injured and mutilated. Please give me some more treasures to eat."
"You have such a big appetite. If I give you all my wealth, it's just a drop in the ocean. You might as well do something else with it."
"Cheapskate, cut it~"
"How about it? Is there any new change after swallowing the leftovers this time?"
"What? You, the county guard... still want to exploit me? I tell you, don't even think about it!"
Tie Tang's face turned red, but he was instantly suppressed by his advanced cultivation. He pretended to be angry and said: "Who do you think I am?"
Boundary Monument saw through his thoughts at a glance and teased: "Others don't know, but I don't know you?
But you have helped me find a part of me, and I am a little embarrassed that you are always freeloading.
This way.
I will open some permissions to you, you can do some business and help me find some food."
Most of the 'food' required by the boundary monument are extremely valuable natural materials and earthly treasures, which are used to refine weapons and set up formations. They are all rare items. No matter how much wealth Tie Tang has, he cannot afford to support such a great god.
When he heard what Jie Shi said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with a smile: "What kind of business can you do?"
"Oh, haven't you seen my predecessor? Have you forgotten what I do? There are innate formation patterns in my body that were laid down by the Great Lord himself, and I have intercepted part of the power of the river of time. I can...
Forget it, I can’t tell you this, I’m pretty awesome anyway.
The Shilaozi life and death list you saw before is just a poor imitation of me. I can do that kind of business if I want to, and I can do it better than it!"
Boundary Monument spoke loudly, and his words were filled with disdain for the Life and Death List, as if he was looking at a shoddy product.
"Oh? Do you still have this ability?" Tie Tang remembered his experience in the beginning of ancient times, and his heart immediately became hot.
"In a life and death battle, you will lose your life if you are not careful, and the opponent's strength is also uneven, and there are all kinds of people.
I've thought about it, and decided to follow my old path, let's take the elite route.
In addition to private discussions.
You can also fight various powerful mythical beasts, strange beasts, vicious beasts, demons, and even immortal gods before they became enlightened.
In this way.
Most people can know the upper and lower limits of their own strength and avoid worrying about their lives.
I even imitated the way of heaven and copied your mark, which is about 70% to 80% of your strength.
Set an ultimate goal in the fighting world, which is also the biggest reward.
As long as you can defeat your mark incarnation, you can get it.
Defeating you means surpassing you without passing the life and death list.
Ranking second on the life and death list is enough to affect the minds of all the heroes in the world.
Who wouldn’t want to try it?
I'm afraid that even the immortals and gods will show up in large numbers by then, let alone other people, so we won't have to worry about running out of business!"
Tie Tang was speechless for a long time, and then slowly uttered a few words.
"Niu, you are a real cow!"
"But..."
"Why should I do this stepping stone?"
Jie Shi smiled and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Don't you think it's too heavy for the title of No. 2 in the world to be placed on your head?
I’m here to help you, help you reduce this weight!”
"Then I really have to thank you~"
"I agreed in advance that I will account for at least 50% of all the profits, and they will be exchanged for various treasures. I want to eat, eat, eat... and repair myself quickly.
And this is also good for you. The faster I recover, the greater the benefits you will get."
"Okay, how far can you go now? What level of competition can you withstand?"
"There is no problem within the magical realm. In fact, even ordinary immortals cannot destroy my body.
It's just that simulating gods is too laborious and thankless, so there's no need.
Anyway...I'm hungry~
I have to eat first before talking."
Tie Tang remained silent, thinking about many things at once.
According to the concept of the boundary monument, there is no doubt that Qingshui City will have another trump card. Coupled with the upcoming commercial center, an auction house can also be opened to circulate various treasures.
When there are more merchants coming and going, boat shops can also be opened. When the boat shops come together, the flow of merchants and people will increase. This is a virtuous circle.
Keep it up like this...
The rise of Qingshui City is only a matter of time.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm hungry, are you deaf?"
The incomplete tower body of the boundary monument rumbled and shook, shaking the void and emitting human sounds, which surprised Feng Bingyao and the other two people.
Tian Wen touched his big, bald head, as if he had seen some kind of monster: "Good guy, have you made this beast a spirit? Can it still speak?"
Tie Tang came back to his senses, blinked his eyebrows, and suddenly looked at the three of them with a smile.
"You don't dare to go to the life and death list... why not come to the battle world to compare?"
