Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Zhang He went to Zhaoling City this time, in addition to selling horses for 1,500 taels of silver, he also sold a few spirit medicines in the space one after another.

Now, he has accumulated more than 2,000 taels of silver, six spiritual stones, and four Peiyuan Dan.

If it were all converted into silver, it would have been more than ten thousand taels.

Several kinds of elixir were newly planted in the space. There was only one very tender seed in the Lei Lingcao seed ball. After watering it a few times, he actually planted it alive.

In addition, some auxiliary medicinal materials for refining Peiyuan Dan and Bailudan were also planted.

When his cultivation level is higher in the future, he plans to try alchemy by himself, and it is not appropriate to always go to the pharmacy to buy pills.

In the space, I can grow medicinal materials by myself. There are also several pill recipes in "Introduction to the Dan Jing", which is just right to try. Now there is only one pill furnace missing.

After returning to Heishui Town, after listening to Magan's report, the Baijia Army returned to Dehua City after suffering a big loss that day, and did not come to Heishui Town again.

I heard that the city is offering a high reward for the arrest of two female thieves, Meihua Thief and Dao Wangwu.

Zhang He curiously inquired about the news about the plum blossom thief and the Dao Wangwu, and Ma Gan said that he did not know about the two thieves.

In addition, Magan also brought back a very strange news.

The tens of thousands of people who died in this riot were originally buried outside the city.

But suddenly overnight, the big pit where the corpses were buried was dug up, and all the tens of thousands of corpses buried in it disappeared.

At present, the City Lord's Mansion is still under investigation, and no reliable clues have been found yet.

Zhang He quickly thought of the strange scene he saw in the inn that night, and felt that there seemed to be some connection between the two.

When he got home, Mei Yingxue's injuries had all recovered. The other party didn't mention leaving Heishui Town. Zhang He was naturally so happy and would not foolishly take the initiative to bring it up.

However, he still went to Dehua City again and gave Sufa 300 taels of silver to buy his shop.

He went to the unnamed shop to find Gu Liangcheng again, and gave him a spirit stone, a Peiyuan Dan, and a thousand taels of silver. It looked like he had sold all his belongings.

Before he came, he had already made a preliminary estimate. All the wealth accumulated by the entire ten thousand family, except for the land, should also be estimated at five or six thousand taels of silver. In addition to the spirit stones and medicinal pills he sent last time, it should be him. The limit that can be taken out.

When Gu Liangcheng asked about the Baijia Army being attacked on the way, Zhang He naturally pretended to know nothing and pushed it cleanly.

Gu Liangcheng didn't have much doubt about Zhang He either, because according to the intelligence, it was two women who attacked and killed Gu Liangqing on the way.

One of the murderers was the Plum Blossom Thief. Some time ago, Gu Liangqing and a group of cultivators had indeed besieged the Plum Blossom Thief, but they escaped at the time. The two did have grudges first, and this time they should have come to take revenge.

The other murderer seemed to be called Da Dao Wang Wulai, although he was dressed in men's clothes and made a man's voice.

However, several captains of the White Armor Army were not blind, and Da Dao Wang Wu was definitely a woman's face.

As for the group of refugees who robbed the horse, there is no news yet, and it is very likely that they are also accomplices of the plum thief.

Therefore, according to the summary and analysis of intelligence from all parties, this time the Baijia Army should have been robbed by Plum Blossoms to seek revenge.

Zhang He's suspicion is not great, and Gu Liangcheng doesn't think Zhang He has that kind of strength.

Gu Liangcheng accepted Zhang He's belongings, and after inquiring about the Baijia Army, he considered Zhang He to be spared.

Zhang He took Gu Liangcheng's handwritten letter and went to the City Lord's Mansion to find a deacon specializing in land management, and officially registered the land of Wanjia in Heishui Town under his own name.

From this moment on, he was officially recognized that he truly owned the site of Heishui Town.

However, since then, he has to pay the city lord's mansion a tax of 3 million catties of grain every year.

In addition, whenever there is a festival, you have to pay filial piety to the city lord's mansion, and usually cooperate with the city lord's mansion to levy corvée.

Even as the landlord of Heishui Town, the pressure on his shoulders is not small.

Of course, all the wool comes from the sheep, and the landlords at all levels can collect more from the tenants below.

At most, the tenants will starve to death, but the landlord will not starve to death.

After Zhang He completed all the procedures, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can finally return to Heishui Town to farm with peace of mind.

He still has a soft spot for farming, which seems to come from the hobby brought by the bloodline inheritance.

Before crossing, Zhang He had a friend who dreamed of buying a villa to grow vegetables.

Now that he owns a large piece of land and has a population of 15,000, he feels a sense of pride, and he feels that he can build Heishui Town into a paradise.

Zhang He's current mood is the same as when many people felt that their children could rule the world in the future. As for what the future will be like, who knows.

After returning to Heishui Town, he rode all the territory that belonged to Heishui Town, walked and watched it again.

Since the New Year, the wasteland reclamation activities in various places have continued. After last year's disaster, these tenant farmers have nothing now.

Every day when you open up wasteland, you can have food, and everyone is happy before it's too late.

After reading all of them, he already had some bottom line on his own territory.

Heishui Town is a hilly area with hills everywhere, and only some flat land along the Heishui River.

At present, the land along the Heishui River has been transformed into paddy fields, mainly for rice cultivation.

The rest of the hills and mountains are all dry land, and there are not many places to be reclaimed, mainly for the cultivation of corn and soybeans.

The rest of the uncultivated parts are naturally growing woods or weeds and rocks.

While checking on the horse, Zhang He briefly sketched a map with a pen, and made various marks on it densely.

In fact, if all the sites in Heishui Town were developed, it would definitely allow the entire Heishui Town to have enough food, even meat.

"Wei Peng, how much farmland do we have now?"

Wei Peng thought for a while, and then replied: "We originally had 57,000 mu of arable land. After last year's winter reclamation, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has cultivated 14,000 mu of new land until now.

Now there is a total of 71,000 acres of arable land, of which paddy fields…”

"Okay, not bad! Starting tomorrow, the land reclamation will temporarily stop."

"Ah? Those coolies..."

Wei Peng was a little surprised. Now all the coolies rely on land reclamation for food. If the land reclamation is stopped, what will the coolies do?

But he didn't ask, because none of the landlords have the obligation to support the coolies, Zhang He is already kind enough.

"Naturally, these coolies can't be idle. We still have a lot of things to do next, not just land reclamation."

There are only 10,000 people in Heishui Town, and more than 70,000 mu of land is enough for them to cultivate.

Zhang He said that he had put the simple map he drew on the table.

"Look, this is the upper reaches of the Heishui River, and the terrain is relatively high. We can start building a canal from here to divert the water here, here.

You have assigned 5,000 people to repair the canal, and get this section open before the spring ploughing. "

As he said that, he had already drawn a squiggly line on the map, and Wei Peng hurriedly wrote it down with a notebook.

Zhang He then marked many small points on the map that needed to be built into ponds containing water.

The original water conservancy facilities in Heishui Town are very few. As long as the sun shines for ten consecutive days in many places, droughts will occur, resulting in reduced crop yields.

After these water conservancy facilities are repaired, the water supply situation of the entire Heishui Town should be initially relieved.

As for the subsequent construction, we can only wait until after the autumn harvest, and then organize the tenants to build in the slack season.

In the future, if these ponds and canals are repaired, they can also raise fish, ducks and geese, which is considered to kill two birds with one stone.
