Chapter 19

Xidu Witch Temple.

"Uncle, seeing that you are in the dust, your breath is a little disordered, have you used your strength?"

The second elder Wu Tong looked at the bald dragon with a smile.

The bald dragon said disdainfully: "A bastard who doesn't know whether to live or die sneaks into Xiguo to catch demons, and I will clean it up casually." ”

Wu Tong: "The king really cleaned up this group of mercenary demon hunters back then, but I didn't expect anyone to be so blind." ”

"A junior of the Shi family, Ben Long buried him. ”

"You died?"

"No, I still had to breathe when I buried it, so I guess I won't die. ”

"The king came back before, and I heard that they met the demon hunters, and they also rescued the red squid in the Yingshui River from the demon hunters, what are you meddling in!"

"Hmph, that little guy of the Shi clan can't beat the barbarians, and he actually threatens the prince, hmph, there is the bloodline of the Xi family, can he threaten at will?"

"Oh~"

"Wu Er, what are you, this dragon is to protect the Youxi clan, not to give that kid a head. ”

"The old man didn't say anything. ”

......

Returning from outside the city, the palace guards performed their duties, Cang Man went back to his house to change his wet clothes, and Yao Yun returned to the palace.

The servants quickly boiled the hot water, and Yao Yun took a hot bath very happily.

People in this world are very unparticular about personal hygiene, and they don't take baths often, and people like Yao Yun who take a bath every day are even rarer, at first the people in the palace were still confused, and later at Yao Yun's request, the people in the palace also began to take frequent baths.

Yao Yun lay quietly in the hot water, constantly recalling what he had seen and heard in Xidu today.

With Yao Yun's observation, he has a general understanding of this world, this is a bronze age, and bronze utensils are quite developed, but the problem is that the copper in this world is also a rare metal mine, which is a precious metal that can be used as currency.

In this way, bronze artifacts are synonymous with wealth, and the life of Zhong Ming Dingshi is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Therefore, Yao Yun saw that the farmers' tools for the autumn harvest were very primitive and ancient, such as stone knives, stone axes, and stone rakes.

In addition, it is the output of cultivated fields, an acre of rice field produces more than one stone, fertile soil can reach two stones, stone is a volume unit, Yao Yun personally asked Wu Tong, only after calculation, taking rice as an example, a stone of grain is about equivalent to 100 catties in the previous life.

Compared with the high yield of the previous life, the grain production in this world can be said to be very low, not to mention the floods, wild beasts, monsters and ghosts take turns to fight, which greatly reduces the already low yield.

As for the output farmers in the field, they need to pay 30% of the tax, and 20% of the land rent, the tax is paid to Xiguo, and the land rent is given to the palace, in other words, to Yao Yun.

In addition, there are the slaves in Tuntian, except for paying taxes, the rest of their wealth from farming belongs to Yao Yun, and Yao Yun only needs to give them some living rations.

If the heart is more ruthless, in difficult times, it is not uncommon for slaves not to be given rations and let them fend for themselves, in the summer dynasty, slaves are at the bottom, and no one will care about their life or death.

Knowing this, Yao Yunna was really staggering, he suddenly became a landlord who exploited the vast number of laborers, and he was also a slave owner with 2,000 slaves.

For a moment, Yao Yun felt a sense of guilt and wanted to end this pattern, but he quickly calmed down.

He can be emotional, and he can sympathize with these people and slaves, but he can't just reform the slaves and liberate the slaves as soon as his head is hot.

He knew that the emancipation of the slaves was inevitable, and after the emancipation of the slaves, the Xi Kingdom would burst out with greater strength, but it also depended on timing and productivity.

Although Yao Yun is exploiting these slaves, Yao Yun does not have much savings in the palace, and he has to subsidize Xidu many times, so it seems that it is easy to bankrupt Xiguo by acting rashly, and then the problem will be even greater.

After thinking about it a lot, Yao Yun woke up slowly, and suddenly he remembered the task of inspecting Xidu released by the Book of Heaven.

So, Yao Yun's mind turned, and the Huangshi Heavenly Book in his mind slowly emerged.

Sure enough, the quest is gone, replaced by a complex and bizarre character, which is very similar to the "Insight and Vision" supernatural ability that I learned before, and it seems to be another supernatural power.

Yao Yun's face was overjoyed, and he immediately seemed to be studying for enlightenment, but the hot water gradually turned cold, so he had to get up, get dressed, and return to the dormitory to slowly cultivate.

The side room of the dormitory was where Xiaocao and Xingye rested, Yao Yun asked the two of them to go to the side room to rest, and went back to the room to practice alone.

The power of the mind gathered, slowly touching the Huangshi Heavenly Book, and then the mysterious characters in the Heavenly Book slowly poured into Yao Yun's mind.

"Exploring the Mountains and Seas"

Yao Yun couldn't help but sigh after learning, it turned out to be a magical power to survey mountains and rivers, and he could use this magical power to survey the mineral animals in the mountains and rivers, etc.....

It's another auxiliary supernatural power!

Yao Yun was quite helpless, although these supernatural powers were good, he still hoped to have some combat ability.

However, the only thing that relieved Yao Yun was that when he comprehended the supernatural power of "Exploring the Mountains and Exploring the Sea", the power of the mind and spirit was tempered, and now that he has practiced the "Ten Witches of Lingshan Method", he can already outline the six great witches with the power of the heart.

The night passed.

Yao Yun got up under the service of Xingye and Xiaocao, and by the way, he tested their cultivation progress in the process.

The result naturally did not meet Yao Yun's expectations.

Xiaocao can't learn it, and he can't remember the "Lingshan Ten Witch Heart Method" completely, but Xingye has already felt the power of the mind and started formal cultivation.

"Xiaocao, if you learn Zhuxia characters in the future, it will be the same. ”

"Thank you King, Xiaocao is very content, it's good to be by the king's side. ”

"Well, that's good, Xingye, you are good at cultivating, of course, you also have to learn words. ”

"Whoa!"

After giving the order and having breakfast, Yao Yun rushed to the Witch Temple, where he was going to find the second elder Wu Tong to learn offensive witchcraft.

"King, what do you have to tell you to find the old man?"

"Second Elder, I'm going to ask you for some advice on Wu combat techniques, I've been cultivating for a while, and it's a bit of an achievement. ”

The second elder Wu Tong was slightly surprised: "King, the old man has just taught you the "Ten Witch Heart Methods of Lingshan", don't be anxious, if the power of the mind is not enough, the witchcraft can not be used." ”

Yao Yun frowned: "At least how strong is the strength of the mind?"

Wu Channel: "The old man is not good at fighting, and there are only two witch spells suitable for you to use in this cultivation at the moment, but even these two doors also require a certain foundation, well, at least the power of the mind can outline the level of the six witches." ”

"King, you have just cultivated the exercises, although you have a good foundation, but you can't cultivate so fast, let's talk about it in a few days. ”

Yao Yun was overjoyed and said, "Six Witches, just right, Second Elder, I can just condense the Six Great Witches!"

Hearing this, Second Elder Wu Tong's lazy eyes suddenly shrank: "King, you're not joking!"
