Chapter 171: Retreat and Cultivation of Immortals

Fortunately, the disciples of [Shennongmen] not only took care of clearing the wasteland and raising animals, but also did some serious things.

Before Bai Yuqi left, he taught them the improvement techniques such as optimizing the mother plant and cross-grafting, and instructed them to try to improve the various cash crops mastered by Kuyucheng.

With the help of greenhouse technology and plant spawning spells, neither the temperature nor the growth time can hinder them, which is enough to carry out a large number of improvement experiments in a short period of time.

Although the technology is not yet proficient, with the support of Bai Yuqi's improved technical data and the good luck of some mistakes, they have really achieved a lot of results.

Not only has it been greatly improved in terms of yield, taste, size, etc., but it has also begun to try artificial breeding to expand the scale of improved varieties in preparation for the upcoming spring ploughing.

Originally, before finding high-yield crops, Bai Yuqi didn't expect them to achieve anything, but just planned to let them practice and familiarize themselves with the improvement technique in this way.

But I didn't expect the disciples of [Shennongmen] to be so competitive, this can really be regarded as an unexpected joy, it can only be said that the farming people have an innate talent in planting, and they have been favored by God to encounter a very small probability of improvement.

After inspecting the industries of Kuyu City, Bai Yuqi found that after half a year, the [Wujimen] forces under his command were finally on the track of benign development, and he didn't need to be busy like a dog anymore, he only needed to guide the whole system to run on its own.

At present, the [Medical Holy Gate] under the [Wuji Gate] system has been handed over to Sun Simiao to be in charge, and the [Tiangongmen] has been handed over to Qu Tutong to be in charge.

Because it is the top priority at present, it has been handed over to Ma Zhou, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and other three people who are proficient in management and arithmetic.

As for the relatively simple environment [Ni Shang Gate], it was handed over to the titular stepmother Yang Zhao to be responsible for management.

The [Ding Qi Gate] that needs to be ushered in and sent to is handed over to Yang Tieniu, who has been a government soldier and has seen blood, and is naturally a little cunning and slippery, and has seen a little bit of the world and is a fan of drama and officials.

Even Kuyuxian City at the foot of the mountain was handed over by Bai Yuqi to read and read words, and he has been the patriarch of the Yang clan and the village leader of Kushui Village for a lifetime.

It's not that Bai Yuqi is nepotistic, but that the foundation of the time and space of the Tang Dynasty is too shallow for the first time, and there are really no talents who can be trusted and good at management available, and the current situation is already the result of him forcibly driving ducks to the shelves.

Therefore, there is only one [Shennongmen] left that needs his personal attention, so he can't help but hit the eldest grandson Wuji with his idea.

This guy resigned from the official position to protect his life, and nominally followed the Emperor Taishang to the mountains to cultivate immortals, but in fact, Li Yuan didn't want to see him, and his identity was a little embarrassing.

As an uncle-in-law who can put Li Shimin on the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji's own ability is beyond doubt, in many Tang Chuanwen that Bai Yuqi has read, this guy is generally a treacherous and cunning villain.

But after all, in the absence of any profit, this guy's management skills can still be trusted.

In addition, he was young and in the prime of life, and he had to give up his career because of his status as a relative, Bai Yuqi didn't believe that he didn't complain in his heart, and was willing to eat early and wait for death to be a rich idler.

In history, the eldest grandson Wuji did not really re-enter the power class of the Tang Dynasty executives until Li Shimin was gambling, and he was idle anyway, so he simply came to work for him, the Emperor Wuji, and there was no need to worry about any that was too popular under him.

So Bai Yuqi just threw out an olive branch slightly, and the eldest grandson Wuji resolutely bowed under the throne of Emperor Wuji without much thought.

He served as the "Shaowei Tianque Left Jurisdiction Lingcheng", took over the position of the head of [Shennongmen], and was the same as Qu Tutong as the manager of Wujimen.

It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji is still young after all, and there are still decades to live in the future, so he has not signed the contract of [Guardian Covenant] for the time being.

As for whether to sign it in the future, then we will talk about it later, anyway, Bai Yuqi just needs people to help him manage it, and the increasingly huge Wujimen system.

If the eldest grandson Wuji is diligent and willing to work hard in office, it is not impossible to give him a quota and opportunity to "become an immortal" when the time comes.

After handing over all the chores in his hand, Bai Yuqi officially announced that he would take his disciples to practice in retreat in Wuji Palace, and hid and studied hard.

But he hid and retreated to cultivate immortals and didn't care about the world, but the changes in the outside world caused by his influence became more and more violent.

First of all, the method of donating salt to solve the salt shortage in Gyeonggi, followed by the opening of the southward transportation to alleviate the grain shortage in Guanzhong, coupled with the renovation of Chang'an, the large-scale speculation and hoarding of grain to prepare for disasters, so that there were no more displaced people in Datang, and a water and land transportation network was built to avoid the drought and locust plague in the coming year.

This one by one, one by one, seems to be unrelated.

But in fact, a big slap was slapped on the faces of the Shandong family and the Guanlongmen valves, and they were all swollen.

Why is the family gate valve inherited for thousands of years?

Isn't it just by annexing land and hoarding Juqi to control the price of salt and grain?

But Bai Yuqi's incomprehensible Wang Ba fist was pulled down, and he directly bewildered the door valve of the family, and suddenly found that the salt and grain trade that he had controlled for many years could not be sold?

It is obviously a "good year" of salt shortage and grain shortage, and you can make a lot of money, but the price of salt and grain is getting cheaper and cheaper day by day under the system of "planned economy and shopping with tickets" set by Emperor Wuji.

Salt is also forgotten, in the past, when they monopolized the salt road, it didn't matter, if you wanted to eat salt, you had to beg them.

But now there is a sudden emergence of Kuyuxue salt of higher quality than the best green salt in their hands, and the salt they make is disliked when sold as livestock salt (salt for cattle and horses), and no one wants it at all.

But they can't do anything about these Kuyu snow salts, otherwise Li Shimin, who finally has a new salt source, will really pull out a knife and kill people!

As for grain, after the opening of the Cao Yun Company, it fell to a lower level than in previous harvest years.

Those mud legs only need to hold the small pieces of paper called "grain stamps", and they can exchange them for grain in the grain stack of Da Luo Tian City without money, who will buy their high-priced grain?

And they also found that they haven't squandered much recently, but their family's savings have inexplicably decreased.

The children of the family who are used to being lavish began to feel that the money was not enough, and even their lives were a little tight.
