Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the tent, Zhang He chatted with the three generals of the Blackwater Army for a while, and learned about the current battle situation.

"While the three of you are facing the enemy here, you must always be on guard against the demons' invasion."

"Young master, what did you find out? Now that all the strong people of the human race are gathered here, don't those monsters dare to approach?"

Several people looked at Zhang He suspiciously. Although the two sides are now fighting, monsters are the common enemy of the human race. As long as they dare to show up on the battlefield, neither side will let them go.

"Now the monster is not only approaching, but has already infiltrated.

Now I doubt very much that all the teams under the opposite young master Fei may have fallen into the hands of demons..."

Zhang He didn't mention what he witnessed just now, but only told the three to be careful.

"Judging from the current evidence, it is very likely that Young Master Jian has colluded with demons. Ever since Young Master Jian came back from the Sui Kingdom, there have been many incidents of demons making trouble in various parts of Lu Kingdom."

Hearing the words, Ma Gan was also making guesses.

"My lord, should we tell other ways or forces about this matter?"

"Everyone is a human race, so naturally we can't just sit back and watch the demons continue to run rampant. It's just that the method of notification is debatable."

Zhang He thought about the stakes. The Shadow Demon's methods were too subtle to be detected. If they were allowed to develop, he really didn't know what the result would be.

But if he publicizes this matter loudly, it is very likely that he will attract the revenge of the monsters. How can his small body resist it.

"You just need to protect yourselves, and I will take care of spreading the news."

Zhang He didn't stay in the army for long, and left the battlefield, ready to go home.

In Zhaoling County, Zhang He knocked on the door of a small courtyard. Inside, a young man in ordinary clothes opened the door. When he saw that it was Zhang He, his face showed surprise.

"My lord, please come in!"

Zhang He then walked into the small courtyard and entered a secret room, and immediately three people came to pay their respects.

"Yingyi greets you, Young Master!"

"Don't be too polite!"

Zhang He waved his hands and casually sat down on the main seat.

This is the headquarters of the intelligence agency he established with his own hands. The name is Shadow Pavilion. There are more than one hundred people in total, and there are also a large number of peripheral personnel.

In addition to collecting intelligence for Zhang He, the Shadow Pavilion will also sell information to other forces or individuals outside the industry.

At present, it is only in its infancy, and has not yet been recognized by various forces. Its popularity is extremely low, its business is not fast, and it is difficult to support itself. Zhang He needs to keep putting money into it.

Yingyi is just a code name, the highest person in charge of Shadow Hall, directly responsible to Zhang He.

"Since the Sui army entered the country, demons have continued to appear in various places. According to statistics, there have been 1,352 incidents within the entire Lu State.

Among them, 516 cases were completely extinguished by various forces, and the rest are still causing trouble to this day.

Among them, a monster locust accident occurred in Longkou County, and a flaming tiger appeared in Dehua County, both of which have been extinguished.

and also……"

Inside the secret room, Ying Yi made some brief reports on the information, and then handed a jade slip to Zhang He.

Zhang He's spiritual sense penetrated into it, and looked at the contents of the jade slip.

It turned out that after he left, a fire-breathing flaming tiger broke into Dehua County and devoured dozens of tenant farmers. The flames emitted burned more than a dozen houses and dozens of people were burned to death.

In the end, Fat Tiger, Gu Liang Yu, and Fu Gui all besieged together, and they succeeded in beheading the Flame Tiger.

After Zhang He read all the content, his expression was a little dignified.

The activities of monsters in the Zhou Dynasty were too rampant, and every incident of monsters represented a loss of life.

For example, the locust swarm that appeared in Longkou County, although it was killed in time, still killed and injured tens of thousands of people.

Of the more than 1,000 incidents that occurred in Lu State, there are still more than 800 places that cannot be completely eliminated, and the disasters caused can be imagined.

The people of the Lu Kingdom were really unlucky. They suffered years of drought and half of them died. After these years of recuperation, they just recovered. When they encountered such a thing again, they did not know when they would be able to live in peace.

Moreover, even Young Master Jian's army is now possessed by demons, so I really don't know what will happen in the future.

"Good job!"

After reading the information, Zhang He nodded in satisfaction, and then took out another jade slip and handed it to Yingyi.

"I have such information in my hand. You are responsible for disseminating it as soon as possible, and try to make it known to everyone."

"And when disseminating this news, it must be concealed, and don't let people know that we did it."

Zhang He handed the jade slip into Yingyi's hands, and after only a few words of advice, he left Zhaoling City.

In Heishui Town, as soon as Zhang He returned home, Wei Peng rushed to find him.

"My lord, there have been a large number of refugees in our three counties recently, how should we resettle them?"

Since the three counties under Zhang He's rule only charged 30% of the land rent, this was the only one in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, if you can only pay 50% of the land rent, it is already a kindness of the landlord.

Moreover, Zhang He didn't like to conscript corvee casually, and would give a certain amount of remuneration every time he was conscripted.

In Zhang He's view, it is only right and proper to get paid for labor.

But in the eyes of the tenants, Zhang He is already considered a benevolent person that is rare in ten thousand years.

Before he knew it, the reputation of Zhang He in Heishui Town spread like this, and many tenants from other places dragged their families to move to the three counties under his jurisdiction.

In the past few years, people have joined Zhang He's forces every year, but this year, due to the emergence of a large number of demons in various places, many tenants were displaced, so more people migrated here.

"Relocate the tenants from Dehua County to the other two counties, and set up large-scale farms in Dehua County. These refugees who have taken refuge will be sent to the farms to work, and they will be paid monthly wages..."

This time Zhang He had more ideas and had more things to do, so Wei Peng took the order and went out.

The main purpose is that Zhang He intends to grow sweet potatoes throughout Dehua County.

Anyway, the ownership of the land belongs to him. Therefore, this time, all the land in Dehua County will be collected and managed in a centralized manner in the form of a small farm.

In the past, Zhang He wanted to keep it secret, so the scale of sweet potato planting was only more than 5,000 mu in Qifeng Mountain.

Now, with the growth of the army under him, the overall strength has been greatly improved, making Zhang He feel that relying on the Black Water Army and Pang's militia organization, he has the ability to completely control the county.

In the next period of time, Dehua County seemed to be flying like a dog, and everything was tossing.

Some people need to be moved out, and the rest should be divided into small groups according to the villages, and they are jointly responsible for the sweet potato planting in a certain area.

With the change of production mode, the previous method of direct rent collection is obviously no longer feasible, and Wei Peng needs to formulate a new management system.
