Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Zhang He walked out of the Qifeng Mountain courtyard after two months of retreat, he saw that the entire Qifeng Mountain was busy planting sweet potatoes.

He bought the hundreds of farmers in Qifeng Mountain from the slave market with money. Now he helps him grow sweet potatoes. The treatment is not bad, and he can eat enough.

This standard of living is much better than that of other tenants.

The only downside is that they absolutely cannot leave the land of Qifeng Mountain.

In order to allow these people to farm here with peace of mind, the people on Qifeng Mountain have basically formed families and have children.

Today, there are 600 or 700 people here, who cultivate more than 3,000 mu of land, which is almost equivalent to a larger village.

Now people's hearts have almost settled down, they have a family and a family, they have food and shelter, and no one thinks about running away anymore.

In fact, apart from fleeing the famine, the tenants of the Great Zhou Dynasty lived in a village for the rest of their lives, and had no idea of ​​going far.

The transportation here is inconvenient, the information is blocked and underdeveloped, it is like a completely isolated village.

Zhang He greeted the patrol team, and then rode off to Heishui Town.

The experience of going to Suifeng City this time gave Zhang He a lot of ideas.

Sui State and Lu State are only separated by a river, and the demons of Sui State may spread to Lu State at any time.

A group of zombies can easily conquer Jishui County. What if they appear in Dehua County, or in his Heishui Town?

So if he left Blackwater Town, he might be able to escape successfully, but the entire Blackwater Town, more than 10,000 people, and his father, will become the food in the belly of the demon.

If all humans were dead, how could he escape?

Now at least make some preparations and train a strong army, just in case.

On the training ground in Heishui Town, a team of 500 people is now lined up in five square formations. These are already all the members of the **** team.

"Right now, I have a martial arts practice technique in my hand. If a martial artist succeeds in practicing this technique, he can compete with immortal practitioners in the Qi training period.

I decided to teach this practice to all the guards after a month. "

When everyone heard the words, there was quite a bit of scratching at the scene. Now they all practiced "Thirteen Swords of Pursuit of Souls", but the general progress was relatively slow, and only a few geniuses had reached the fifth and sixth forms.

One of the reasons for the slow progress of practice is that there is a lack of an inner practice method to lay the foundation.

With the foundation of martial arts internal training, the overall physical quality will be improved, and if you practice these swords, guns and sticks, the progress will be much faster.

The same sword technique, if it is based on internal training, will be more powerful.

For Zhang He to teach the inner training method, everyone in the guard team showed a look of longing.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as one can practice martial arts or immortality exercises, it means a transition of class, and there is a chance to break away from the lowest level of society.

Even if it is a Ding Nuyuan for a landlord, it is several times stronger than a tenant.

"One month later, I will conduct an assessment. Those who pass will stay, and those who fail to pass will be eliminated from the competition, and they will not be eligible to practice martial arts."

Zhang poured a pot of cold water on everyone at the right time. The exercises are precious and rare, and they must not be easily taught.

And in the process of training, it needs to consume a lot of resources. If you are some **** who don't want to be motivated, they will waste resources in vain.

After Zhang He announced the end of the matter and disbanded, the guards went back to practice one by one.

After the guards dispersed, Wei Peng walked towards Zhang He with a book under his arm.

"Sir, there are many people from other villages and towns who want to join Heishui Town. Can we accept it?"

Since the riot a few years ago, the population in various places has dropped sharply, and many landlords have lowered their rents a lot in order to retain their tenants.

After several years of recuperation, many tenants have recovered some vitality, and the demand for arable land has also increased.

Landlords in various towns can't wait to raise rents and interest rates.

For the previous 50% of the land rent, for the landlord, there is really not much oil and water to draw.

Because at least 30% of it needs to be handed over to the city lord's mansion, and the remaining 20% ​​is not enough to maintain a luxurious life.

Among these nearby towns, only Heishui Town has maintained 50% without going up, and the loan interest is as low as 10%.

Moreover, I heard that the Zhang family in Heishui Town is notoriously benevolent and does not like exploiting tenants.

Master Zhang also paid for the construction of the canal. In the same way, the income of the tenants in Heishui Town is higher than others.

Now Heishui Town has become a prosperous place that tenants from all over the world yearn for.

"receive!"

Zhang He thought for a moment, and then he had already made a decision. Why didn't he want the demographic dividend that came to the door?

"All received?"

Wei Peng repeated a sentence uncertainly.

Once this opening is opened, there will definitely be a lot of people coming from the surrounding villages and towns.

After all, Heishui Town is only a town, and the land it has is limited, so it cannot carry too many people.

"Yes! Take it all!"

Zhang He nodded again with certainty.

"But what if we don't have so much farmland?"

"The tenants recruited can first organize people to build a canal, and guide the water from the Heishui River to every corner of the town to form a water network."

Heishui Town had previously built two canals, which only improved the water supply in some places. There are more dry land in the town, and they can only depend on the weather. Agricultural production must first be guaranteed in terms of water conservancy.

"Sir, although the water conservancy construction will benefit in the future, it will cost a lot of food, manpower and material resources! With our existing grain reserves, we can't support such a huge project at all!"

Wei Peng is in charge of finance, and he knows better than anyone how much money Heishui Town has ~www.wuxiahere.com~ and how much it can do.

"You don't have to worry about money and food, my master just sent me a sum of supplies, and I will send someone to pull it back after a while."

Zhang He said this, Wei Peng began to look forward to this huge project.

"In addition, a group of people can be organized to breed some poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep according to local conditions."

In the Heishui River and some canals, ducks and geese can be stocked, and other mountainous areas that are not suitable for farming can also raise chickens, cattle and sheep.

The residents of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally lacked meat, and many people may not be able to eat meat several times in their lifetime.

Mainly, livestock that only eat grass grow slowly and don't have much meat. If they are fed with grain, no one will be willing to.

In the early years, the batch of sheep that Fat Tiger was grazing was only 30 kilograms in a year of birth. After killing it, it was only a dozen kilograms. After removing the bones, only a few kilograms of mutton were left.

Raising pigs is similar. Old man Zhang raised several pigs and only fed pig grass and swill every day.

"In addition to farming, you also need to pick a group of craftsmen and open a brick factory next to Heishui Town, specializing in firing blue bricks. The more the number, the better."

"Is the son going to build a manor?"

"No, I plan to build a city wall to surround Heishui Town and Zhangjiazhuang."

Zhang He threw out another project that is no weaker than the water conservancy network.

He naturally considered that if one day zombies or demons attacked, he could guard against the city wall.
