Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Just as Zhang He led the Blackwater Army to the boundary river to fight against the demon army, the Blackwater County behind was also preparing for battle.

In Zhaoling City, there is a courtyard surrounded by high walls. The area around the courtyard is heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to get close.

At this time, all the weapon refiners in Blackwater County have gathered in the compound and are working overtime to refine spiritual tools.

Every evening at dusk, a team of Blackwater troops would deliver a batch of weapon refining materials and at the same time transport away the refined spiritual tools.

With many weapon refiners working hard, more than a hundred spiritual tools can be refined every day.

These refined spiritual tools will be immediately distributed to the militiamen.

Heishui County currently has 100,000 militiamen, all of whom are composed of ordinary tenant farmers. They usually farm and train in their spare time. Naturally, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of an army composed of cultivators.

It's just that the expenses required to support an army of cultivators are too great. The price of one pill for an ordinary Qi cultivator is enough to make more than 1,000 tenants work for you.

But you get what you pay for. If the tenants are allowed to go into battle with swords and grass, how is it any different from feeding monsters directly?

Therefore, Zhang He's plan is to equip one hundred thousand militiamen with at least 40,000 spiritual tools.

If possible, he would of course want to equip all militiamen with spiritual weapons.

However, the manufacturing cost of spiritual tools is not cheap. Calculated based on market price, a spiritual tool of the same quality will cost at least 80 spiritual stones.

Heishui County develops and refines it by itself, and the cost is much cheaper. The cost price is about 20 spiritual stones.

Forty thousand pieces require a cost of 800,000 spiritual stones, which is an astronomical figure compared to the income of Blackwater County. In order to refine these spiritual tools, I have already spent a lot of money.

Fortunately, the spiritual tool developed by Huya is made of copper as the main material. Heishui County has its own copper veins, so there is no need to spend too many spiritual stones to purchase raw materials.

Ten thousand spiritual tools had been saved previously, and all of them have been distributed during this period.

The militiamen who have now received spiritual tools have begun training and drills.

Every village has a grain drying field, which is used to dry grain during busy farming periods and becomes a school ground for militia training during slack farming periods.

Fighting with spiritual weapons is fundamentally different from the swords, guns, swords and halberds used before.

Especially now, the soldiers who use spiritual tools are still ordinary tenants, but they need to fight against the ferocious demon army.

This should be something that only immortal cultivators can do, but now it has fallen to them.

On a grain drying field, more than 50 militiamen from the whole village gathered here and lined up in three neat rows.

Each of them holds a cylinder as thick as a forearm, with one end of the cylinder pointed forward.

"Everyone, listen, let's assume that there is an army of demons in front of you. They will rush over and tear your bodies to pieces, then trample your crops and kill your parents and children.

What you have to do now is to pick up the weapons in your hands and blast them to pieces. "

A teacher was encouraging loudly next to him. His eloquence was not very good. He only came up with these words after thinking about them for a long time last night.

"Now I will give each of you a chance to test the operation of spiritual tools. I hope you can take advantage of it. You must know that one bombardment you make is worth thousands of taels of silver."

This huge amount was enough to shock the militiamen and onlookers present with their jaws dropping to the ground.

One tael of silver is enough for a person to eat and drink for a whole year, which is equivalent to blowing away a thousand years of food in such a short time.

"It is Mr. Zhang who is kind in this world. In order for you to keep your home, he is willing to sponsor such a precious thing for you to use. It is really a blessing for you to meet such a kind person like Mr. Zhang in your lifetime."

The militiamen still held their spiritual tools and maintained a posture. They could not move without orders. They were still a little tired and it was inevitable that they would have some complaints in their hearts.

However, after the teacher said this, everyone was moved.

Yes, Mr. Zhang did it for everyone to keep the crops in their fields, and for everyone to protect their parents, wives and children.

Mr. Zhang even took out such a precious magic weapon from the Immortal family. He was really worried about everyone's safety.

How could I live up to Mr. Zhang's deep affection? What would it matter if I was tired?

"If it weren't for you, Mr. Zhang wouldn't have needed to lead the Black Water Army and run so far to fight against the demon army? All of this is not to prevent the demon army from coming here.

You must know that Mr. Zhang’s whole family is an immortal master. Even the big yellow dog they raise is a fairy dog. Immortals can fly. Mr. Zhang can just pack up his clothes and fly away when a demon comes. "

The more the teacher spoke, the smoother he became, and he had already moved all the tenant farmers to tears.

"Previously, someone advised Mr. Zhang to leave with the gold and silver treasures and come back after the demon army has left. What do you think Mr. Zhang said?"

Seeing that everyone onlookers looked over and the militiamen holding spiritual tools also pricked up their ears to listen, the teacher's mouth curled up slightly with satisfaction.

"Master Zhang said, of course I can leave, but what about the more than 2 million people in Heishui County?

When the demon army comes, it will definitely destroy the crops they have worked so hard to grow, eat their flesh and blood, and suck out their marrow.

For the more than 2 million people in Blackwater County, I can't leave even if I die in battle. "

If Zhang He heard these words here, he would be so embarrassed that he had to leave a city.

However, many tenants present were so moved that they burst into tears and vowed to destroy all demons. They would never let Mr. Zhang down for his hard work.

The tenants of the Great Zhou Dynasty had little contact with anything other than farming. They had never even seen a drama, and their thoughts were relatively simple and easy to be influenced.

Seeing that the ideological work was quite effective, the teacher struck while the iron was hot and pointed to a stone wall 20 feet away in front of him.

"Start now. Come one by one, use the spiritual tools in your hands to shoot at this stone wall."

The effective range of this spiritual tool is 20 feet, almost 60 meters, which is similar to the attack distance of monks in the later stage of Qi training.

The first militiaman walked out of the team, holding the spiritual tool tightly in his hands. Although he had been holding it for several days, he was still very nervous. If he was thrown out, it would cost him a thousand years of food.

According to the key points taught in the tutorial, hold the spiritual tool flat in front of you and aim it at the stone wall in front of you.

"boom!"

A ball of fire shot out from the spiritual tool and hit the stone wall opposite, causing flames to rise.

After a while, the flames went out, and everyone saw that a large area of ​​the original stone wall had melted, creating a deep pit.

This treasure from the Immortal family is truly amazing, worthy of a thousand years of food money.

If anyone is hit like this, their bones will turn into ashes.

With the first one, when the second one stepped forward to operate the spiritual tool to bombard him, he was no longer so nervous, and felt a little excited in his heart.
