Chapter 176: Accumulation of Grain

When helping an eldest lady clean up her things, Yunxiao learned from the eldest lady that the rich old man was actually the deputy city advocate of Kanggu City.

Generally speaking, whether it is the city lord or the deputy city lord, when they are selected, they will require a certain amount of strength, and even most of the cities will take the personal strength of the city lord and the deputy city lord as the most important consideration criteria, whether it is the city lord or the deputy city lord, the most important duty is to protect the city people, and there is no strength to talk about protection.

It's not that Yunxiao hasn't seen a city lord with a lower realm, such as the city lord and deputy city lord of Anping City, their cultivation is just a delusion realm, and they are not as good as Yunxiao, a disciple of Chixia Heaven, but they are also cultivators.

A deputy city lord like Zhang Qincheng, who has no power to cultivate, is the first time Yunxiao has seen it.

At first, Yunxiao thought that Zhang Qincheng had used some shady means to become the deputy city lord, but after the eldest lady told the story, Yunxiao knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

It turns out that Kanggu City's requirements for the city lord are really different from other places, in Kanggu City, if you want to be the city lord, you not only need to control the force of the heroes, but also need profound knowledge and experience in agriculture and animal husbandry, after all, Kanggu City is a well-known agricultural and animal husbandry city, you don't know how to convince the public if you don't know the knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry.

And how could an ordinary cultivator meet this standard, so Kanggu City finally decided to elect a person with superior martial arts as the city lord, and a person with profound knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry as the deputy city lord.

In Kanggu City, if you only talk about the degree of knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry, there may be one or two who can compare with Zhang Qincheng, but in terms of practical experience, no one can match it.

What's more, Zhang Zheng, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is one of the pioneers of Kanggu City, and the Zhang family has made a lot of contributions to the development of Kanggu City through the past generations, so even if the Zhang family is not a family of cultivators, it also has a very good reputation and prestige in Kanggu City.

Therefore, most of the successive deputy city lords of Kanggu City were served by the Zhang family, and even the city lords had a few.

And Zhang Qincheng's two sons are both cultivation wizards of the Zhang family who have not been out for thousands of years, and just when everyone was arguing about which of the two brothers would become the next city lord, the Heavenly Demon came.

In the end, in order to protect the people of Kanggu City, the twenty-seven members of the Zhang family died at the hands of the Heavenly Demons.

In the end, only Zhang Qincheng and his grandson were left in the Zhang family.

After listening to the Zhang family's affairs, Yunxiao sighed.

When Yunxiao passed by the clearing, he found that Zhang Qincheng was sitting next to the wok-retort with his grandson basking in the sun, Yunxiao stepped forward and said hello, "City Lord Zhang." ”

"Zhang can't be called the city lord of the little immortal, it's good that the little immortal chief calls me old man Zhang. Zhang Qincheng got up and said.

And the little grandson on the side also learned his grandfather's movements and bowed his hand towards the clouds.

"The kid doesn't deserve to be called the immortal chief of Zhang Lao, if Zhang Lao doesn't dislike it, he can call the kid's name, Yunxiao. Yunxiao not only returned the salute to Zhang Qincheng, but also to the little grandson.

"Yunxiao, Yunwai Jiuxiao, a good name, the name is not only domineering but also immortal, the little fairy is a cultivator, this name is really suitable for the situation. Zhang Qincheng said with a smile.

"Zhang Lao praised it, the kid is just a first-order layman, and he has nothing to do with the domineering immortal spirit. ”

When the little grandson saw that they were talking something he didn't understand, he felt bored, so he ran aside and played by himself.

"I don't know, what is the matter with Elder Yunxian looking for the old man?" Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Zhang Qincheng opened his mouth and asked.

"It's okay, I just want to ask if Zhang's family has packed their luggage properly, if not, the kid can help. ”

"Yun Xian Chang has a heart, there is nothing to collect in the old decay's house, and the place where Yun Xian Chang is standing now is the old decay's home. ”

Yunxiao glanced at the wide open space, and it seemed that the Zhang family's mansion had also been destroyed by the Heavenly Demons.

"If there are any things, there are really some things, but those things need Qiu Xianren to come and help. ”

"Oh, I don't know what it is?" Hearing Zhang Qincheng say this, Yunxiao's appetite was completely suspended.

"It's just a million stone of grain and some seeds. Zhang Qincheng said lightly.

And Yunxiao once again felt the amazing financial power of the rich man, a million stone of rice was really not something he could move, but Qiu Heng's original intention was not to move, after all, after moving this million stone of grain, it would affect the retreat.

Sure enough, people die for money, birds die for food, even at this time, the rich man is still reluctant to give up his family business.

"Will Elder Zhang move too much?" Yunxiao decided to persuade one or two for the sake of that piece of braised meat, if he couldn't persuade him, it could be regarded as saying hello in advance.

"Not much, this is far from enough, according to my assumption, it should be to take away all the surplus grain in the city, but now there is not so much time to gather them together, my old Zhang's family's million stone grain is only enough for my Kanggu City 30 million people to eat for about ten days, if it is eaten, what can I do? Saying that, Zhang Qincheng's face was full of sadness.

If he didn't retreat, he would be able to take the people of the city to start winter planting in a few days, and before the spring harvest came, he could rely on collecting wild vegetables and fruits near Kanggu City, as well as hunting for a living, as long as the spring harvest arrived, then the problem of food shortage in the city would naturally be solved.

However, once you retreat to other places, it is difficult to say all this, after all, if you go to a place again, you will face a series of problems such as redividing resources, finding out the local seasonal climate change, being familiar with local crops, and being xenophobic by local people.

These problems must be dealt with almost completely, so that the citizens of Kanggu can start to resume the life of male farmers and female weavers with peace of mind, but none of these problems can be completed in a short time.

Of course, Zhang Qincheng only thought about these questions in his heart, but did not say them.

After listening to Zhang Qincheng's words, Yunxiao felt ashamed, but he didn't expect that he would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain again.

It's just that Yunxiao can't blame Yunxiao, although Yunxiao still eats from time to time, but the reason why Yunxiao eats is because he doesn't want to change too much, he is afraid that he will change too much, and if he goes back by himself in the future, his parents will not know him.

But no matter whether he eats or not, Yunxiao will not feel hungry, he wants to eat, and he can go to the forest or river and walk on it, so over time he has no concept of food.

But these ordinary people can't, their main food is still whole grains.

"Zhang Lao is benevolent and righteous, but the matter of food, Zhang Lao doesn't have to worry, since Master Qiu Heng and they have thought of a retreat plan, they must have also considered food and other issues, I think you can rest assured about food. ”

Although Yunxiao said it nicely, he didn't have much in his heart, after all, he had come all the way from the Thundering Sect, and there had been a shortage of food in many places.

Although Kanggu City is the most severely affected city that Yunxiao has ever seen, because it is a large agricultural city with extremely high grain reserves, even if the Heavenly Demon has destroyed most of the stored grain, the remaining small part is enough for the survivors in the city to eat for a long time, so so far there has been no food shortage in Kanggu City.

However, if the survivors of Kanggu City were to evacuate to the Thundering Sect City without food, there might not be so much surplus food to support these outsiders.

It seems that it is necessary to tell Uncle Qiu Heng about this situation, and ask him to take away all the surplus grain in Kanggu City when the time comes.

"Haha, Yunxian is reasonable, it's the little old man who is worried about the sky. ”

"There, Zhang Lao's concern for the people is where the kid needs to learn, but Zhang Lao, your family's food is inevitably too much. ”

One million stone of grain is equivalent to two months' rations for the entire army of the Yun Family.

After listening to Yunxiao's words, Zhang Qincheng laughed and said, "My ancestor of the Zhang family was born in a soldier, and when he was alive, he was in troubled times, and he was hungry every day, so the ancestor did not set up any ancestral teachings after he took root in Kanggu City, so he set up a good life and accumulated grain, so our Zhang family developed the habit of storing food, and I often wondered if my own food was too much, but now it seems that it is still a little less, the ancestor is worthy of being the ancestor, and it is not okay to accept it, hahaha." ”

After listening to Zhang Qincheng's words, Yunxiao also smiled dumbly, other big families with a little faΓ§ade, the ancestral family rules are eager to write loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and bravery, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality.

lest others say that their family education is not profound and thick enough, they have lost their family education, and they have lost the face of their ancestors.

But in Yunxiao's opinion, these six words are more than 10,000 times heavier than those empty ancestral teachings that have written all the five constants, five virtues and five grids.

Speaking of which, the little old man remembered that there was really something wrong and he needed the help of Yun Xian Chang. "There have been too many things recently, if it weren't for the sudden mention of the ancestor, Zhang Qincheng would have really almost forgotten about the spear.

"Elder Zhang, please speak. ”

Zhang Qincheng walked to the makeshift open-air kitchen, pulled out a spear from under the desk, and looked at the spear in his hand very solemnly.

But the wishful circle on Yunxiao's wrist was very interested in this spear that was almost as tattered as it, and it turned into a small snake very humanely, and after raising its head to look at the spear, it finally regained its calm.

Could it be that he has gone to treasure again? Looking at the wishful circle on his wrist, Yunxiao secretly thought to himself.

Zhang Qincheng walked in front of Yunxiao with a spear, carefully handed the spear to Yunxiao and said, This spear is the land lord's, the day the heavenly demons came to invade my family happened to be near the land temple, and then I witnessed the land lord and the heavenly demon battle, and then the spear in the hands of the land lord god disappeared, and then I took my grandson to hide in Tibet when I found it, so I have been taking it with me, wanting to find an opportunity to return it to the land lord, but later Kanggu City was rebuilt, the land temple originally located in the city, also became outside the city, if the little old man is out of the city, it is undoubtedly for those ghosts to plug the teeth, if there is only a little old man, the tooth is also plugged between the teeth, anyway, it is already a lonely person, but God also left me a thought, so this matter has been dragged down, and I asked Yunxian Chang to return it to the Land Temple. ”

Zhang Qincheng bowed to the clouds.

"Elder Zhang, please hurry up, aren't you tormenting the boy, you can leave the gun to me with confidence. Yunxiao helped Zhang Qincheng up.

"There is Lao Yunxian who has grown. Zhang Qincheng got up and thanked him.

"It's just a gesture, the kid went to return the gun first. ”

As he spoke, Yunxiao took a gun and walked out of the city.
