Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the tenth year of Zhanghe retreat, the railway line from Ningjing County to Mingcheng, the main rudder of the Riyue League, was officially completed and opened.

On this day, a train like a long black dragon, full of specialties along the way, arrived in Mingcheng.

It was crowded with onlookers of monks and ordinary people along the way.

In addition to taking a few breaths of cold air, ordinary people can only be amazed and praised beyond words.

Some of the nobles in high-ranking positions saw huge business opportunities in it.

This kind of thing called a train is only made of ordinary iron. Compared with expensive flying boats, the cost of trains is extremely low.

The traditional horse-drawn cart and ox-cart cannot compare with the train in terms of speed and capacity.

As for the flying boats in the Immortal Cultivation World, the speed is fast, but the transportation cost is too high. Unless you transport some expensive goods, you cannot afford this transportation cost.

In the past, a batch of goods had to be transported from the place of origin to another place, and it was time-consuming and time-consuming, and the transportation cost often exceeded the cost of the goods themselves.

This time, the train was loaded with special products from all over the country. It only took three days to travel thousands of miles from Ningjing County to Mingcheng.

If it was a traditional caravan in the past, it would take at least half a year to travel with an ox cart. During this half year, the cost of eating horse chews is included in the goods.

When the train arrived at the terminal in Mingcheng, hundreds of laborers were invited to carry materials from the train box to the outside.

Most of the goods have been negotiated with buyers in advance, and some are pulled here to find buyers.

At this time, a group of laborers took out bundles of swords and weapons from a vehicle and randomly stacked them on the roadside.

A knowledgeable warrior approached, looking at the pile of weapons, his eyes lit up.

"Excuse me, may I take a look?"

"It's okay!"

A white-faced Blackwater Army soldier standing beside the cargo glanced at the warrior and said kindly.

The warrior took out a long sword with cold light from the bundle of weapons, and held it in his hand for a while. The word Ning was engraved on the sword.

He flicked the blade with his finger again, and the long blade made a loud sound.

"Good knife! Good knife!"

"Is this knife for sale?"

"Sell! A long knife for 15 taels, a short knife for 10 taels, choose whatever you want."

"what!"

The martial artist doubted his ears a little, such a good hundred-smelting steel knife actually only cost 15 taels of silver, and he could choose it casually.

The price of swords and the like varies greatly according to their quality. The cheap ones are one or two taels of silver, and the more expensive ones are dozens of taels.

Warriors deal with various weapons all year round, and have their own set of methods to identify the quality of weapons.

With the quality of this knife, the general retail price is more than 20 taels, and it can even be sold for 30 taels.

He pulled out several identical long knives from the push weapon.

The quality of these knives is very good, and each one is similar.

At this moment, he really wanted to buy all this bunch of swords.

"If I want more, can the price be less?"

The martial artist has now thought of a way to make money.

Traffic these weapons to other countries, and each can earn several taels of silver.

"If you want more than 100, you can talk about it." The white-faced soldier explained.

These weapons are made in batches by foundries, and the main goal is to supply them to the armies of the major forces.

The market has not yet opened, and some individual customers are also accepted, and one or two pieces of land can also be sold.

"Uh!"

The martial artist was taken aback by this figure. Based on this price, 100 pieces would cost 1,500 taels of silver. Even if he sold his entire family's property, he wouldn't be able to get that much money.

In the end, the warrior took out all his belongings, bought ten long knives from here, and sold them to other countries.

For him, earning dozens of taels in one trip is already a big business that falls from the sky.

Because the price of the goods pulled by the train is generally much cheaper than usual, the price difference for re-selling is relatively large, and there are rich profits.

Mingcheng has a population of more than 1 million, and there are not a few smart people like this warrior.

They have used the money they have accumulated over the years to buy a batch of goods from the railway station, and then sell them in groups to the distance.

The train stayed in Mingcheng for a month, and a month later, the train was filled with money and goods again and returned to Ningjing County.

Each sub-rudder along the way has a station where the train stops. This time, each sub-rudder made a small fortune with Ningjing sub-rudder, and they all happily paid the fare when they got off the train.

Since the train in Ningjing County opened, it will go back and forth between the two places every two months.

During the period, he stayed in Ningjing County for one month and Mingcheng for one month.

The commodity economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely underdeveloped, and there were only a few nobles who had spare money in their pockets and were able to consume them.

The train runs every two months, and the transaction volume driven by it is already a large number compared to the past, at least it can increase the GDP of Riyue League by several points.

With the current consumption capacity, this frequency of delivery of goods is sufficient.

After the opening of the railway, of course, Ningjing County will benefit the most.

Now Ningjing County has built a steel plant and a steel foundry.

The iron and steel foundry is divided into many branches, some specializing in the manufacture of trains, casting rails and various iron and steel equipment.

There are also those specialized in forging swords and weapons, specialized in manufacturing armor, specialized in producing tools such as kitchen knives and hoes.

These many new factories need to recruit a lot of labor.

Many tenants entered the factory and became workers.

Wages in factories are much higher than those in farming.

After these ordinary workers receive their wages, in addition to feeding their families, they occasionally have some spare money left to consume other items.

Driven by these factories, the economy of the entire Ningjing County area is developing rapidly, and the living standards of residents are steadily improving.

The Central Plains is extremely rich, and relatively speaking, the rich belong to the aristocratic class, and the ordinary people should be poor, or poor. Every winter, there are also many people who die of cold and starvation.

Now in Ningjing County, there are very few cases of people dying of starvation, which is a great improvement compared to the tenant farmers in other places.

After the successful opening of this railway line, Wen Sheng and Gu Liangqi have tasted the sweetness and are planning to build a railway from Ningjing County to the capital of Wuguo.

This is a much larger project, but with previous experience as a basis, it is not too difficult to implement.

The main thing is to negotiate with Wu Kingdom. Ningjing County is not enough, and people may not pay attention to you.

Ningjing County is only a sub-rudder of the Sun and Moon Alliance. It does not even have a Nascent Soul and is not qualified to negotiate on an equal basis.

After thinking over and over again, and with Zhang He's consent, he could only invite the elders of the Sun and Moon Alliance to negotiate with the Wu Kingdom in the name of the Sun and Moon Alliance.

The three elders of the Sun Moon Alliance agreed to this matter, but there were conditions. The railway line from Ningjing County to Wuguo must pass through Mingcheng. As compensation, the three elders nominated Zhang He as the Sun Moon Alliance. Fourth Elder.

In this regard, Zhang He also agreed, and also gave 30% of the benefits to the three elders, so that they could participate in the operation of this railway line in the future.

He doesn't have Nascent Souls himself, the benefits of a transnational railway are huge, and it will inevitably make people jealous. He might as well use 30% of the benefits to hire three Nascent Souls as thugs, which is not a loss at all.

Zhang He only got a general understanding of the situation this time, so he retracted into the training room and continued to retreat and practice.

He has now reached a critical moment in his practice, and he can be promoted to the late stage of Jindan after one step forward, but this step has been delayed.

It seems to have encountered a training bottleneck!

He has practiced for so many years, but this is the first time he has encountered a bottleneck.

As for the bottleneck, he also knew something before, usually the foundation is not strong enough, or the promotion is too fast, and the mana is not pure enough.

Zhang He knew that he had a golden pill that surpassed the ninth rank, and he was expected to break through the Nascent Soul in the future, and the foundation was still very solid.

It should be that his mana has been cultivated too fast recently, resulting in a vain foundation.

As for the breakthrough methods, there are many ways, you can use time to grind slowly and constantly grind the aura.

You can also break through with the help of medicinal pills. If you do this, the fundamental problem is not solved, and the next time you encounter a bottleneck, it will be more serious.

You can also find someone to fight and break through at the juncture of life and death.

This method is too dangerous. If he fails to break through at that time, he will have to be beaten to death. How many lives will he have to spend so much?

Zhang He chose the stupid way, constantly polishing his mana to make his mana more pure.

In this way, another ten years have passed, and his realm has finally been promoted to the later stage of Jindan.

From the middle stage to the later stage, the mana capacity in the body has increased several times, and the dantian has become wider.

In the dantian, there was originally a golden dan the size of a goose egg when it was condensed.

Fortunately, Dantian is equivalent to another dimension, otherwise there will be such a big lump in the stomach, and people will think he is pregnant when he goes out.

Zhang He has never heard of anyone whose golden core can grow so big before. If this is said, others will definitely think that he is bragging.

He estimates that the total amount of mana in his body is no less than that of some ordinary early Nascent Soul monks, but he is far from the Nascent Soul powerhouse in terms of the purity of mana.

After this promotion, the strength of his consciousness has also been greatly improved, but he still has not broken through the level of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which makes him a little regretful.

Zhang He appeared in the space at this time, and the peach tree in the space spirit orchard grew a lot taller. The diameter of the trunk must be at least ten feet in size. After the branches were trimmed by him, it looked strong and powerful.

He didn't plan to throw the pruned branches away. This is a peach tree that is tens of thousands of years old and has completely mutated.

These branches are all top-quality training materials. Even the leaves that were picked from the trees, he kept them and gave them to the Talisman Master of the research institute for making talismans.

There are not many spiritual peaches on the tree, but each one is very big. The largest one is as big as a washbasin. It has been on the tree for two thousand years, and the smaller one is the size of a fist.

This kind of spiritual peach, which is two thousand years old, has been picked and eaten by Zhang He before. The reason why he successfully advanced to Jindan this time is that this big peach has played a great role.

In addition to this peach tree, a large number of elixir have been cultivated in the space over the years, and a large storage bag has been filled with the mature elixir.

He intends to use these elixir to expand the strength of his subordinates. Since he can't retreat for a long time, it is not convenient for him to take out these elixir.

After all, he can't retreat, and he still digs out elixir all day long, which seems very strange.

You can only go outside for a circle after exiting the customs, and then slowly dig out.

In addition, a batch of thousand-year-old elixir has been cultivated in the space.

These thousand-year-old elixir are all relatively rare and rare varieties, each of which is very valuable.

For example, the white jade ginseng used for healing, he has cultivated more than 100 trees for more than a thousand years.

Zhang He walked to the edge of the experimental field, and the little skeleton was working in the spiritual field.

During his retreat and cultivation, the various chores in the space were all done by the little skeleton.

There are skeletons like this, what more can I ask for!

Little Skeleton hasn't grown in cultivation over the years, but he didn't know how to fiddle with it, and he actually allowed himself to grow a leg again.

His leg was a long time ago, when he was robbing the golden fruit branch in Lu Bo's mansion, one of his legs was knocked off.

Zhang He once helped Xiao Skull make a walking stick. He was unwilling to use it and wanted to help him replace his bones. The ordinary bone Skull couldn't like it.

Until now, he has finally successfully solved it by himself, and I don't know how his skeleton body grew.

"Owner!"

Seeing Zhang He appear, the little skeleton happily held a bunch of grain ears and sent it to Zhang He.

This bunch of grain ears was shaped like a dog's tail, more than a foot long, and covered with plump grains.

Zhang He still remembers listening to an old man tell a story in his last life, saying that a dog rolled in the heavenly gods' sun drying field, his whole body was covered in grains and fled to the mortal world, hiding in the grass, only showing a tail covered with grains Stretching on it, it brought food to the mortal world.

He took over this large bunch of grain ears and weighed them in his hand. This plant was about a pound or so.

This is how he used the first-order spirit sprout rice, crossed it with the second-order blood capillary seedlings, and after many generations of breeding, he finally got the new variety in front of him.

The newly cultivated Linggu plants are so tall that people can only show a little nod when they walk into the field. Only 100 plants can be planted per acre, and each plant can grow about three to five ears of this kind.

That is to say, the output per mu can be three or five hundred catties.

The original second-order bloodshot seedlings yielded only a few tens of kilograms per mu, which was equivalent to a tenfold increase in output.

The new variety Linggu inherits the advantages of second-order capillary seedlings in quality~www.wuxiahere.com~ and inherits the advantages of Lingya rice in yield.

The combination of the two has become a brand new second-order Lingmi variety, and it only takes five years to mature.

Compared with the ten-year growth period of blood capillary seedlings, it is shortened by half.

It took him more than 20 years to cultivate this new variety of Linggu. If the acceleration effect of Lingquan water is counted, it is equivalent to cultivating the outside world for more than 7,000 years to achieve such an effect.

Except for a few god-turning powerhouses, the lifespan of other monks is not so long, who would waste their limited lifespan on this kind of thing.

However, Reiki will not be generated for no reason. New varieties must absorb a lot of Reiki while achieving fast growth and large yield.

Ordinary spiritual fields may not provide enough aura.

Zhang He heard that Meng Tiantian and her team have been doing research in this area all the time.

Continue to replenish spiritual energy for Lingtian for the absorption of new varieties of Linggu.
