Everyone hurried on slowly. It took them more than ten days to reach the original three-day journey. They crossed the territory of four states and counties on the way. Every time they arrived at a state or county, Wang Dao would take four people down to take a look and walk around.
, feel the other person’s customs and customs.
The Daogang monks from those prefectures and counties would also come out to greet them in person. There was no enmity between these prefectures and counties and the Danyang Sect on the way, and the relationship was quite close. The Daogang monks all had good friendships with each other and treated the four of them as distinguished guests.
After the reception, Wang Dao would also invite them to go on the road together, so soon the group of people became much larger, with four flying boats flying together.
Lin Xiao also took the opportunity to bring out the Tiansheng Sect's specialty Lingguo Wine and White Mist Tea, and gave them to the people of the sect to advertise the Tiansheng Sect's products.
Lingguo wine and white fog tea are not very effective in terms of efficacy, but they taste very good and have been well received.
"Hey, Master Lin, the white mist tea you have is different from the one you gave me before. Did you keep it secretly?"
"Hey, Senior Wang, this is Lin's exclusive collection. A disciple of the Tiansheng Sect discovered a camellia that is more than 800 years old in Baiwu Mountain. No, it should be a spiritual tea. It has entered the first grade. It is enough
It’s a second-grade low-grade plant, but it’s a pity that just one plant produces just over a pound of tea leaves every year, so I cut it off.”
"Your Tiansheng Sect is really lucky. Give me some some time."
"Not for sale, not for sale, but there are some first-level ones."
"You are too stingy"
"Senior, please bear with me. Ling Zhifu of Tiansheng Sect is trying to find a way to transplant it. If it succeeds, senior will definitely be the first to drink it."
"Lin Xiao, what's wrong, we are no longer human beings, so we have no share?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, there are spiritual teas in all sects, but the spiritual tea produced in Baiwu Mountain does have a very good taste, and it has a calming effect, so it is very popular.
Everyone chatted all the way, and time passed quickly. After entering the territory of Jingzhou, the scenery in front of everyone suddenly changed, and densely packed villages came into view. This was a scene that was not seen in other states and counties.
The entire Lu State, with the exception of Jingzhou and the prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, can be regarded as a semi-barbaric area. Many places are still uninhabited. Only the villages and towns near the Zongling Mountains do not appear so.
desolate.
"How many children with spiritual roots can be provided by such a dense population of mortals every year?"
"That's a lot. Anyway, Chunyang Palace can accept a few disciples with top spiritual roots every year. You will know how scary it is."
"It seems that our Tianyun Prefecture still has great development potential. Doesn't Senior Wang have any means to accelerate the development of mortals?"
"What method? Aren't mortals free and prosperous? It would be nice if there were fewer corrupt officials in the mortal government."
Wang Dao looked confused and didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant. Lin Xiao was also a little dumbfounded. He immediately realized that the social development level of Lu country was too backward, and because it relied too much on the power of immortal cultivators, mortals didn't know how to be free at all.
Operate and develop freely.
Like the ancient society in Lin Xiao's previous life, the development of farming culture, such as the invention of advanced farming equipment, the construction of water conservancy facilities, etc., did not exist in Lu State.
The first reaction of mortals who want those farming equipment is to ask the immortal cultivators to provide magical tools, such as replacing the steel used by mortals with black iron. The water conservancy facilities are also solved by the immortal cultivators. If a river often floods, just ask the immortal cultivators to take action and change the river course.
Already.
Of course, it cannot be said that there are no water conservancy facilities at all, but there are very few, very small scale, and there is no market at all, because if immortal cultivators can solve things, why should mortals have to work hard to invent and create them? This is the world of immortal cultivators.
Lin Xiao pondered for a while and told the rest of his ideas. The limit on the number of mortals was money and food. The most important thing was food. Once the food was in place, the population would multiply rapidly.
To increase grain, it is not just about opening fertile fields, but also increasing the yield per mu, such as various farming equipment, water conservancy facilities, fertilizers for fertile fields, etc.
These knowledge concepts are not uniquely created by Lin Xiao here. In fact, every sect has them, but everyone uses them in spiritual fields and not in mortals. As long as the techniques of cultivating immortals are explained to mortals, it will be enough.
Moreover, if the Danyang Sect takes the lead in these matters, there is no need to put any thought into it. All it takes is to set up rewards and tell those mortals who come up with good ideas. After they are proven to be useful, the Danyang Sect will reward them and then forcefully promote them. It is as simple as that.
"Headmaster Lin, have you been to Central Continent?"
"No, what is the meaning of Senior Wang's words?"
"Because it suddenly occurred to me that I read a travelogue somewhere. It seems that some countries in Central Continent do this. If you don't tell me that I can't remember it, how could Master Lin know this?"
"Haha, this is not easy, because this is what the Tiansheng Sect does. You all know that the spirit wine and tea are now the main source of wealth for the Tiansheng Sect. It is not like you, who all rely on elixirs, magic weapons, and farming to make a fortune.
If you plant a lot, you will naturally know.”
Lin Xiao laughed and answered, and quickly found an excuse to explain. He was very depressed. Since there is already a country in Central Continent doing this, why hasn't it been popularized?
Lin Xiao explained the past perfectly, and Wang Dao did not pursue it, because what Lin Xiao said was true. They all knew the situation of Tiansheng Sect, and the power of mortals was not worth mentioning to them. There was no need to pursue it. They could just go back.
Try these methods, if you can greatly increase the number of mortals, that would be good too.
Soon, the flying boat arrived over Yujing City. Yujing City was not the capital of Lu State, but an immortal city founded by Chunyang Palace. There were more than 100,000 people living in the entire city, 80% of whom were immortal cultivators, and the remaining few
Ten thousand people serve these immortal cultivators as the bottom layer.
Chunyang Palace and its vassal forces all have real estate in Yujing City. Like the six major families of Chunyang Palace, their main activities are also in Yujing City, because there is enough wealth and security here.
Yujing City has air restrictions. Except for the aura ancestor of Chunyang Palace, only a few law enforcement disciples of Yujing City can fly. The rest, no matter who they are, cannot fly as long as they have not reached the aura stage.
Otherwise, it will provoke the attack of Yujing City's formation. This is a fifth-level formation, and even Dao Gang monks cannot withstand a few attacks.
So everyone quickly landed at the city gate, went through some formalities for entering the city, and walked into Yujing City.
"It's such a strong profound energy. It's much more than the Danyang Sect of my predecessors."
"Of course, Jade City has a fourth-level high-grade spiritual vein as the main vein, and the other branches are also at the third-order level. There are probably hundreds of second-order ones. Otherwise, how can we provide the training for these tens of thousands of monks?"
"Is Chunyang Palace so generous?"
"Haha, no good thing is given away for free. Chunyang Palace is not stupid. With these spiritual veins, it has attracted so many monks. Do you know how expensive the real estate in Yujing City is? With the little family property of your Tiansheng Sect, it is estimated that the most
I can only buy three or five shops.”
"Yes, such a big city is a cornucopia, how can we lose anything?"
Lin Xiao nodded. If he was given a big city like this, millions of Xuanjing would definitely come into his account every year. The land would not be sold, but could only be rented.
Everyone went to the City Lord's Mansion and after explaining their purpose, Chunyang Palace disciples soon took everyone to stay at Chunyang Palace's property. It was free of charge and included food and accommodation. Chunyang Palace would not be short of such money.
.
The five people were assigned to a small courtyard, with exactly five rooms, one for each person. The rooms were very luxurious, but the five people still checked it out individually, replaced the warning array prepared by the store, and took out their own to put it up.
Still need to be a little vigilant.
After settling in, Wang Dao took Lin Xiao and others to visit the sects that had arrived in various states and visit each other. Of course, except for Ninghe Prefecture and Qingshan County, the war between the three states had already been broken. There was no need to maintain the superficial enthusiasm, as long as
It’s not enough to just do it on the spot.
After visiting and recognizing a familiar face, Wang Dao took the four of them shopping again. Wang Dao had been to Yujing City many times and even lived there for a few years. It can be said that he was very familiar with it, so he naturally took on the responsibility of a guide.
Ancestor Ling Guang of Chunyang Palace celebrates his 500th birthday. Although it has not yet arrived, Yujing City is already much livelier than usual. Not only the sect bosses from other prefectures and counties will come, but also the forces from Jingzhou and the directly-governed prefectures.
Some people came to join in the fun, plus birthday congratulatory missions from surrounding countries, as well as people who wanted to buy some cultivation resources at the auction of the birthday ceremony. At this time, the number of monks in Yujing City should have exceeded 100,000.
Various merchants also took the opportunity to offer some discounts, so the streets seemed very lively. This was the first time that Lin Xiao and others had seen so many monks.
"There is a saying that Zifu is not as good as a dog, and it can travel everywhere with its pulse, haha"
Lin Xiao looked at the street and sighed. In Tianyun State, after the explosion of strength, there were only about twenty Zifu, but with just a sweep, there were more than a dozen Zifu monks, including Pulse Condensing monks.
There are as many as rice.
"Headmaster Lin, what you are saying means that our Zi Mansion is really so worthless?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist Tang, don't be deceived by Master Lin. In fact, there are not that many monks in the Zi Mansion. This is because a grand event is coming and all parties are gathering, so there are so many. There are not so many in normal times.
If you think about it, just from our ten states and counties alone, dozens of Zifus have come. The rest of the merchants, casual cultivators, etc., add up to more than a hundred. It is normal. Chunyang Palace itself must be more than fifty, and the vassal forces are also five or six.
Ten, which is only a little over two hundred at full count. It is impossible to have three hundred people. In this city of one hundred thousand monks, is it considered too much?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Mo is right, he was almost deceived by Master Lin."
"No, I just said that casually, haha"
"The real Zifu is not as good as a dog. The big countries of Qin and Qin. If I have the opportunity, I will take you to see where the real prosperous world is. In the eyes of others, Lu is just a remote country."
Wang Dao also interjected, saying that if you don't go out, you don't know how big the world is. Only people like him who have traveled far away know how powerful the outside world is. Even Dao Gang like him is nothing.
However, the number of monks above Daogang has decreased sharply. At the level of Daogang, it is extremely difficult to advance even a small level, let alone breaking the mirror. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty of promotion. The social rules of the pyramid,
