Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Village Expansion
(Regarding the number clerical error in chapter 207, it has been corrected, and I apologize again!)
Jungnam Village.
There have been many changes in Jungnam Village.
At the beginning, the site was located near mountains and rivers, but the geographical location was remote, and the surrounding area was barren, mostly jungle area. Now the wood is cut and the soil is opened, and the fields of different areas are reclaimed, and they look down from the sky, like tofu blocks.
There are crops planted in the spiritual field, and many of them have sprouted young shoots, which are verdant and thriving.
Three farmers are sitting on the ridges of the fields, smoking dry tobacco.
One of the gray-haired old farmers frowned, and suddenly said, "Wang Da, do you say that this village has no money?"
Then Wang Da replied: "No, there are three Qidao-level martial arts masters in the village." ”
Although the Divine Continent Domain has outstanding people and talents, it is not easy for a small village to have three Qi Dao martial artists.
The old farmer said: "But I happened to hear them talking, saying that there was indeed no food, and the village chief was forced to leave Huaizuo Mansion to find a way." I figured out that we're all a little bit hung up on our pay this month. ”
"No, it's okay!"
Wang Da was anxious all of a sudden: "Get money for work, heaven and earth are righteous, what are you doing if you don't have money for us." Let's go, go to Wu Shan for an explanation. ”
The three of them couldn't bear it anymore and went to find Wu Shan, who was in charge of Lingtian's operation.
Wu Shan was in the field on the other side, leaning down, carefully observing the growth of the lingcai seedlings, and in the face of the questions of the three farmers, he hurriedly said: "The three of you are not impatient, please rest assured, even if the martial artists in the village do not eat the spiritual rice to cultivate, there will not be a single grain of you." ”
As soon as they heard this, the three farmers immediately made it clear: There should be no food in the village, and what is the point of continuing to do this, it is better to settle the remuneration as soon as possible and leave.
Immediately shouted and begged for wages.
Wu Shan felt a big headache, not because he didn't want to give it, but because in fact, there was really no food in the village. For the next meal, do you still expect Gu Chengyang and them to return from hunting, where can they still be paid?
Seeing this, the three farmers were even more dissatisfied.
While he was pulling, he suddenly saw the young Yayuan striding over, shouting: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, the village elder is back!"
Liang Qiufeng is back?
Wu Shan was overjoyed, Liang Qiufeng went to Huaizuo Mansion to raise resources and materials, he came back, doesn't it mean that he is saved?
Hurriedly said to the farmer: "Don't worry, come with me, our village chief has returned to the village, and you can ask him directly for your remuneration, and the guarantee will not be less." ”
At that moment, the three farmers stopped arguing and followed him back to the village.
When he entered the village, Wu Shan looked up and saw that the square was full of people, all of them were fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, all of them in rags, like beggars. He couldn't figure out what was going on, and immediately asked Ya Yuan next to him.
Yayuan said: "I don't know, they were all brought back by the village elder." ”
"What, he's taking in so many people?"
Wu Shan's eyes almost darkened, and he was about to faint to the ground: the village was almost unable to open the pot, and there were more than 100 mouths all of a sudden, what to eat and drink?
My village chief, what are you trying to do?
Those who were shocked and uncertain were Zuo Ming and others.
Zhang Jiangshan ran to Liang Qiufeng's side, crying with a sad face, and his speech was a little trembling: "Qiu Feng, I'm timid, don't scare me." Where did you get these people?"
If you don't want to feed so many new people, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid that cutting his fat body into parts is far from enough.
Liang Qiufeng replied casually: "I bought it." ”
"What, bought?"
Zhang Jiangshan couldn't believe his ears.
The matter of buying and selling human beings is not uncommon and bizarre, the key lies in where Liang Qiufeng has the money to buy people. These hundreds of teenagers add up to definitely not cheap.
The three farmers were stunned for a moment, and they didn't care anymore, and hurried up to ask for wages.
Wu Shan was stunned, and whispered in his ear: "Village elder, if you can't distribute food, the farmers are going to run away, how can you do it?"
As soon as they left, more than ten acres of land were unmanaged. What's more important is that after the publicity goes out, the reputation of the whole village is stinky, who will dare to come in the future?
Liang Qiufeng listened, shook his hand, and threw the bag of spiritual rice in the mysterious weapon he was wearing on his body into his hand: "There are 5,000 catties of spiritual rice in it, you can spend it as you like." ”
After a pause, he shouted loudly: "Zuo Ming, Wang Nanheng...... Everybody is here for a meeting. ”
After taking the bag of spiritual rice, Wu Shan's head buzzed: 5,000 catties of spiritual rice can be spent casually?
Still in disbelief, he reached out and pinched his arm, ouch, it hurts!
Seeing this, the three farmers were relieved and were not in a hurry to urge food. With a grin, he said that he was going to go to the field to apply fertilizer, and quickly walked out.
In Liang Qiufeng's courtyard, there was a group of village elders sitting around. On the left-hand side, Zuo Ming, Wang Nanheng, to Gu Chengyang, Abin, etc., and on the right-hand side are Zhang Jiangshan, Wu Shan, Jiang Biaoquan, Zhang Jinxiu......
After a dry cough, Liang Qiufeng began to speak.
The main content is two points: first, Jiang Biaoquan is in charge, directing a group of young slaves to expand and build the village, build a circle of houses, and provide them with living in slaves;
The second point is to select a hundred slaves, and at least fifty seedlings with good martial arts cultivation talent will be selected to come out and practice the sword formation together. As for the rest, if they don't have the talent for cultivation, they will be transferred to Wu Shan's subordinates to learn life skills such as planting.
After talking about the two key issues, Liang Qiufeng began to state in detail, one by one, with great patience, and when everyone listened, they felt that a beautiful picture was unfolding in front of them, and there was really a little bit of "breaking through the country".
In the end, Liang Qiufeng repeatedly emphasized that for this large number of young slaves, they must not be wantonly scolded and abused, but should be treated as their own people.
This is Huairou policy.
These 100 young slaves, from humble backgrounds and through ups and downs, can be said to have a bleak life and have no way out. If it is bought by others, it will either be used as a coolie or as a plaything, but now that he has entered Zhongnan Village, he has the opportunity to cultivate and learn, and he will definitely be grateful and extremely loyal to the village.
The reason why Liang Qiufeng spent a lot of money to buy them from the auction was from this aspect. If you look for people from other channels, whether it is soliciting or plundering or something, it is far less practical than cultivating yourself.
In fact, he had already planned such an idea. It's just that there has been no opportunity, the village has developed, there is land, and another key factor is people. In this way, we can move forward hand in hand and gradually grow stronger.
Hearing what he said in an orderly manner, Zuo Ming couldn't help but ask: "But how to solve the problem of Lingmi when raising so many people?"
This is a question that everyone present asks.
Liang Qiufeng smiled incomprehensibly: "The mountain people have their own tricks, I am responsible for this aspect, you don't have to worry, you can't be hungry anyway." ”
Hearing this, everyone has doubts, but it is not good to continue to ask. Now, since the village chief has spoken, what else can he do?
Don't forget, just now Liang Qiufeng threw his hand and allocated 5,000 catties of spiritual rice to Wu Shan, which was generous and confident.
With the appearance of a large amount of Lingmi, everyone was full of enthusiasm and immediately devoted themselves to work after the meeting. Liang Qiufeng, on the other hand, was used to retreat, as always.
Fifteen days later, new houses were erected, and the village more than doubled. The slaves moved into their clean new homes, smiling and smiling, sweeping away the panic and nervousness of their first arrival.
The selection work was carried out simultaneously, and the preliminary results came out, and among the hundred slaves, there were aspirants and those with certain martial arts talents, a total of sixty-eight people. Other people with poor talent were assigned to Wu Shan's men to learn planting.
In fact, things like talent do not mean death, many times, you have to pay attention to the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, as well as the support of resources.
At this time, Liang Qiufeng had also been out of the customs, and he was very satisfied with everyone's work. The village chief of Liangda soon announced the implementation of a new village strategy, and in general, the division of labor was more specific and detailed.
First of all, all the people in the village were divided into two parts, one was the soldiers, including Zuo Ming, Wang Nanheng, Zhang Jinxiu, and a large number of teenagers, and the other part was the life skills, headed by Jiang Biaoquan, Wu Shan, Zhang Jiangshan, and Wu Danmei. Among them, Jiang Biaoquan and Wu's grandsons were mainly responsible for planting problems; Zhang Jiangshan had a flexible mind and was very good at business, so he handed over the buying and selling aspects to him, and the business accounts were all under his control, like a big housekeeper, and he was very spirited;
Warriors, as the name suggests, have the main task of fighting. And the foundation of battle comes from strength, so except for taking turns to arrange hunting and practical training, the rest of the time is basically penance. However, the focus of cultivation is different, and there is no need to talk about Zuo Ming Gu Chengyang.
Sixty-eight newcomers, plus the four teenagers of the original Xiaoqi, converged and followed Liang Qiufeng to a meadow five miles away from the village every day to cultivate the sword formation.
There is a famous hall called "Zhou Tian Starry Sword Array". As the name suggests, above the Zhou sky, the stars are displayed, which seems to be chaotic, but in fact, they echo each other.
This sword array sword title grade is up to the middle grade of the ground level.
With such a high-level sword question, even if Liang Qiufeng retreated for more than ten days, it was difficult to solve it successfully. It is only the skin that I have learned, and I have written it down, and I have taught it.
Through Guò's study of the sword formation, Liang Qiufeng Huo Ran found that what he had been looking for had finally been found.
"Zhou Tian Starry Sword Array", there is no death rule for the number of people, two or three people, twenty or thirty people can also - of course, the more people, the more tacit cooperation, the greater the lethal power that can be exerted.
However, if you practice the sword formation together, it is difficult to adjust the hands, and it is difficult to unify the mind, and if there are too many people, it is likely to backfire. So under normal circumstances, the size of a few dozen people is the most reasonable.
With this sword formation, there is no need to be distracted from cultivating anything else.
Therefore, Xiao Qi and the other four people, who originally practiced the "Four Elephants Spirit God Array" together, can also let go for the time being, and concentrate on practicing the "Zhou Tian Starry Sword Array" with the newcomers. As half-old people, the four of them are inserted in the team, and they serve as captains respectively, and they can also play a good role in commanding.
You must know that they were orphaned and had a miserable background, and they have a lot in common with the young slaves, and they can be recognized by the other party and mingle. (To be continued.) )
