Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Since the Chen family also sent troops to attack the Ji family, the battlefield advance has become several times faster.

The Ji family monk who originally wanted to struggle to the death has completely lost hope.

Ji's two Nascent Soul ancestors, along with the clan's elites, packed up their wealth and fled overnight.

When attacking the city previously, the opponent had to defend themselves, and the Sun-Moon Alliance also had to expend some effort.

Now wherever the army goes, nobles from all over the place either flee or surrender without any effort at all.

At this time, the Sun-Moon Alliance decisively divided its forces and sent troops from various directions to seize Ji's territory.

Fat Tiger of the Black Water Army went even further. He didn't bring any soldiers. He went alone, carrying a large ring sword, and recovered five cities with one person.

In just a dozen days, all the Ji family's territory was divided between the Sun and Moon Alliance and the Chen family, and most of it was included in the territory of the Sun and Moon Alliance.

From then on, only the Sun-Moon Alliance and the Chen family remained in the Chen Kingdom.

Through this battle, the reputation of the four elders of the Sun-Moon Alliance has greatly increased.

Most of the credit for the victory in this battle can be attributed to the four elders. Without the great efforts of the four elders and Ningjing County, it would be the Sun Moon Alliance who are running away in embarrassment now.

Therefore, Zhang He also got the lion's share in the distribution of spoils after the war.

At this time, in Chendu City, the sky palace had landed on the ground. As the new owners of the palace, the four elders of the Sun and Moon Alliance walked into the palace building together, chatting and laughing.

"There is only one street in this palace. I have divided the shops on this street into four. The fourth elder has made the greatest contribution this time, so you can choose first!"

Elder Jiang is in a good mood. The Sun-Moon Alliance has always been relatively poor. In the past, they and the Yuanying elders had to go out to work part-time and odd jobs. Now they have their own territory and are getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang He felt a little guilty when Elder Jiang praised him so much.

This time, Fan came completely for his Ningjing County, causing the Sun Moon Alliance to almost be wiped out. However, Fan did not announce it to the outside world, and he himself would not tell the truth.

The four portions given by Elder Jiang were all similar, so Zhang He chose one at random. There were six shops in total, two large and four small.

"I have already checked it. The formation in the Sky Palace is intact. You only need to install the spirit stones and reactivate the formation to float into the air. However, the cost of the spirit stones is relatively high.

After the current war, our spiritual stones have been consumed a lot, and we are still facing some difficulties. "

Elder Jiang said, intending to seek the opinions of the other three elders.

"I don't think it's necessary. There's no need to spend a lot of spiritual stones on these vain and superficial projects."

"Now that even the palace of the Zhou royal family is on the ground, there is no need for us to spend a handful of spiritual stones for it."

Elders Zhong and Mei agreed, and Zhang He immediately expressed support.

In this war, due to the use of a large number of spiritual tools and puppets, the consumption of spiritual stones was far greater than in previous wars.

Each time the spiritual tools in the hands of the militiamen are fired, 30 spiritual stones are consumed. If 5,000 people fire a salvo at the same time, 150,000 spiritual stones are required. Fighting in this way is no different from burning spiritual stones.

Although the Sun-Moon Alliance won the final victory this time, it also completely emptied the family fortune, and not a single spiritual stone was left in the warehouse.

Zhang He was thinking at this time, whether he had led a bad example. If the entire world of cultivating immortals behaved like this, how long could the spiritual stones in this world last?

Once the spiritual stones are exhausted, what will happen to the world of immortality?

Thinking of this, Zhang He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. No matter what, he must do everything possible to accumulate more spiritual stones to deal with possible situations in the future.

At the same time, we must also find ways to find alternative energy sources.

Of course, this will happen a long time later, and maybe by then, he may be dead.

There is also a Xiuxianfang City in Chendu City, which will no longer be distributed. Instead, it will be regarded as the collective property of the Sun and Moon Alliance. There will be a dedicated person responsible for taking care of it, and the proceeds will be used for various expenses within the alliance.

The land resources of the Ji family that were led by this war were also allocated to each branch. Among them, the Ningjing County branch received the most.

Zhang He used the prestige of the Fourth Elder and the promised benefits to persuade several branches around Ningjing County to relocate, so that the several counties where Ningjing Branch was originally scattered were all connected together.

Since then, Ningjing County has been officially renamed Ningjing County, which governs 25 counties with a total population of 10 million.

In addition to the territory of Ningjing County, Zhang He was also allocated a county in the original Ji family's territory, named Jinwu County, with only 5 counties under its jurisdiction.

Zhang He chose this site after he selected it himself.

This county is named after its rich production of Jinwu Stone. There are three Jinwu Stone veins in Jinwu County, and the Jinwu Stone mines produced were very famous throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

Huya's newly developed psychic gunpowder just needs this kind of ore.

The three materials required in the new psychic gunpowder formula are obsidian, golden black stone, and spiritual carbon.

Now I have Fire Obsidian Mine and Jinwu Stone Mine in my hand. Spirit Carbon is refined from Spirit Wood. You can buy it from outside or plant Spirit Wood yourself. In short, you will not be controlled by others because of raw materials in the future.

In addition, a whole medium-sized spiritual vein was allocated. The spiritual energy that one medium-sized spiritual vein can provide is equivalent to 100 small spiritual veins.

Zhang He placed this medium-sized spiritual vein under the city lord's palace in Ningjing County.

With one more medium-sized spiritual vein, thousands more acres of spiritual land can be opened in due course.

These three important resources, spiritual fields, spiritual veins, and spiritual mines, are the material foundation for a force to last for a long time.

Zhang He now holds three counties in his hands, namely Heishui County, Ningjing County and Jinwu County.

It's a pity that my territory is scattered in three places and cannot be connected together.

This is not conducive to management.

We can only build a few more railways in the future to connect these sites.

The railway that previously led from Mingcheng to Wu State would have been completed long ago if it had not been affected by the war some time ago.

Construction is continuing now, and it should be completed and open to traffic in another half a year.

Zhang He brought Gu Liangqi over and asked him to start preparing to build a railway from Ningjing County to Jinwu County.

As for Blackwater County, it is too far away and currently does not have this capability.

"Sir, my subordinate would like to recommend a talent to you. Maybe it would be more appropriate to let him be responsible for building roads."

After Gu Liangqi accepted the task, he said that he was too busy during this period, and he most hoped that someone could help him share some of the pressure.

Now after the war, Zhang He's territory has expanded six to seven times, and these newly acquired territories need to be transformed.

Now coupled with the construction of the railway, he is really too busy.

"Oh! Who is it? Come and listen."

"This person's name is Niu Dahua. He is a talent trained by the Blackwater County Academy. He was originally an weapon refiner."

Zhang He seemed familiar with the name. He thought about it for a long time. The blacksmith Niu in Heishui Town had a daughter named Niu Dahua. I wonder if she has the same name.

"Bring the person to me to see."

After a while, a woman with a thick back and a sinewy face walked in.

"Niu Dahua pays homage to the young master!"

Zhang He could see a bit of a blacksmith in her face.

"Is Blacksmith Niu okay?"

"Young master, you have a good memory. My father has been dead for decades."

Zhang He was right when he thought about it. Blacksmith Niu was at least over two hundred years old now. How could an ordinary mortal live for such a long time.

Next, Zhang He asked some questions related to railways and trains, and Niu Dahua answered them fluently.

He immediately decided to let Niu Dahua take charge of railway-related matters from now on. 16430/10030153
