Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Falling in love with you reading network, cultivating immortals starts from planting sweet potatoes

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since Zhang He was stationed at Stone Mountain.

Over the past year, they have experienced countless battles, and half of the 100 black water troops they brought with them at the beginning have been lost.

The death rate of the Blackwater Army is not bad. Of the thousand people brought by Baron Zhiyuan, 700 of the Feiyu Army have all died in battle, and the commander of the Feiyu Army has also died in battle.

The 300 Baijia Army in Dehua City also lost more than 100 people.

But now they have more people stationed on the rocky mountain than before.

Over the past year, Young Master Su has recruited people to the rear several times.

Including recruiting several waves of troops and money from their Dehua County.

Now the total number of Blackwater Army on Luanshi Mountain has increased to 200 people. In addition, Fugui personally brought 300 militiamen and escorted dozens of zombie vehicles to deliver food and grass for these 200 people.

Because the drought continued during this year, two consecutive years of severe drought, coupled with the consumption of the Lu civil war, hungry people everywhere, this road has become very unsafe.

Now almost all the tenants in Lu country have fled, and in some places, even the landlords have fled.

Because staying in the same place will not only be ransacked by refugees, but also exploited by nobles, and people will be expropriated for food. It is really unbearable.

Now the various armies want to plunder, but they can't find a place.

On this day, Fugui led a group of well-equipped civilian men to escort a large amount of supplies to the foot of the rocky mountain.

This scene made the other troops stationed on the rocky mountain envious, and they stretched their necks to watch.

Now most of the garrison troops on Luanshi Mountain are like beggars, with ragged clothes, and what they eat is dried wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains.

Including the big fat man Wang Cai who came with Zhang He back then, even if he was the eldest son of the landlord's family, now he is starved to the point where only a piece of loose skin remains.

"The Blackwater Army is still the happiest. Up to now, they can have enough food every day."

"I only regret not being reborn in Heishui Town in this life."

The soldiers stationed on Luanshi Mountain are all from Dehua County, and they have heard of Heishui Town to some extent.

I heard that the current Heishui Town is almost a paradise.

This year's drought is more serious, the land is parched and there is no grass growing.

Because there is no water in most places, even spring sowing cannot be carried out. However, Heishui Town has built a large number of canals to divert the water from the Heishui River to the farmland of the whole town.

As long as there is still water in the Heishui River, the farmland in Heishui Town will not suffer from drought.

As a big river that can run boats, the Heishui River is naturally not so easy to stop.

Due to the good sun this year, Heishui Town has had a bumper harvest.

Nowadays, all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty are unable to eat due to the lack of food harvest. Heishui Town, which has had a bumper harvest this year, has naturally become the envy of hungry people everywhere.

Heishui Town, where there is food and drink, naturally attracted the attention of many refugees and bandits.

However, every village in Heishui Town has a large number of well-trained militiamen, and refugees who come with dozens or hundreds of people are no match at all.

If the number of refugees gathered a little more, the spies of Heishui Town would soon find out, and then all the tenants would withdraw into the city walls of Heishui Town with valuable belongings.

There are hundreds of elite black water troops in Heishui Town, plus thousands of militias stationed there. These refugees have no ability to fight down at all, and can only look at the wall and sigh.

All of this, as early as a few years ago, Zhang He and his subordinates made a plan to deal with it.

Even if he leaves for a few years, Heishui Town will develop according to the predetermined track.

It's just that he didn't expect that the fence that was originally built to defend against zombies is now playing a role in defending people.

Fugui has already led a group of people to carry the goods up the mountain, pointing to a few large black wooden boxes and exhorting them.

"Be careful, don't collide."

This logistics team has sent supplies here several times in a row, and each time there will be a car of this special wooden box.

The folks who carried the supplies didn't know what was inside, it was quite heavy anyway.

The Blackwater Army built two simple thatched sheds on the mountain as warehouses.

"My son, this time I brought a total of 20,000 catties of No. 2 military rations, 40,000 catties of No. 1 military rations, and a cart of Hunyuan Thunderbolt."

After Fugui moved all the materials into the warehouse, he reported to Zhang He the materials delivered this time.

The carload of Hunyuan thunderbolts brought by Fugui was exactly the sharp weapon that Zhang He made back then and successfully killed the eldest son of the Wan family.

Now that the current situation is too chaotic, Zhang He asked old man Zhang, Wei Peng, and Ma Gan to secretly set up a factory in a remote location in Heishui Town.

The factory mainly prepares gunpowder, and also produces a part of Hunyuan Thunderbolt.

The logistics team brought a car of Hunyuan Thunderbolt, which was used to ensure the safety of the convoy. If it was not used, it would be left on the rocky mountain for the Black Water Army to use.

Although Zhang He's shoddy bombs are not comparable to the spells of immortal cultivators, they are still very lethal to ordinary people.

Moreover, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If a large number of bombs are ignited at the same time, even this rocky mountain can be blown up, and immortal practitioners will be terrified when they see it.

"How is the current situation in Heishui Town?"

In addition to transporting food and grass, Fugui is also responsible for passing news back and forth.

"Recently, several groups of refugees wanted to attack Heishui Town, but they were all killed.

On the way we came, hungry people starved to death everywhere on the roadside, and cannibalism was often seen.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be another big riot among the refugees. "

Although the refugee riot was suppressed just once because of the flood more than ten years ago, who would have so many scruples when it came to the point where they couldn't survive anyway?

"After you go back, let Wei Peng take out the sun-dried sweet potato shreds we stored, mix them with sweet potato vines and boil them into a paste, and help the victims if you can."

A large number of sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines produced by Qifeng Mountain in the past two years have been stored.

I used to feed pigs and sheep with sweet potato vines, but now even people are starving to death, and it's the turn of pigs and sheep there.

The sweet potatoes he stored, if everyone eats less and maintains the minimum living conditions, can feed at least 100,000 people, and live one more if they can.

"Is it issued directly?"

Fugui asked with some doubts, this is not in line with Mr. Zhang's usual style.

Zhang He thought about it for a while, and it was really not appropriate to distribute food directly. The best thing is to use work as relief.

However, after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other work that could be done in Heishui Town to accommodate a large number of victims.

The wasteland has been reclaimed long ago, and the canals have been repaired.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hecai said: "You asked Wei Peng to recruit refugees outside Zuocheng to make bricks, and prepare to strengthen and heighten the city wall."

This is the only big project he can think of now.

"In addition, you can also pick some young men from the refugees and organize drills outside the city. Once there are large-scale refugees attacking the city, they can be used."

After Zhang He confessed a few words, he wrote a letter in jade slips and asked Fu Gui to pass it on to Wei Peng to prevent mistakes and omissions in the transmission process.
