Chapter 101: Life Extension

Grain production is the top priority in Gumu County, and every once in a while, Liu Qing will ask Xu Qingfeng to give an order to call all the village leaders over and train them in agricultural knowledge.

He also compiled several agricultural product planting techniques he mastered into a book, and each category was compiled into a booklet with pictures, which was printed by Deshan Book Company, and several copies were distributed in each village.

There are literate people in every village, and this technology can be better promoted.

In addition to this, it is also sold in other places.

When the farm is not working, it will also organize people to build water conservancy to create a better environment for agricultural production.

Hard work is hard work, but if you lay these foundations, it will be easier to farm in the future.

It was a good year with no disasters, no floods and no droughts.

In July, the harvest season has arrived.

It took almost a month to put all the food away.

Now there are no bandits to trouble, and there is no need to worry about theft, but I am much more relieved.

Although the new technology did not reach every farmer's home, most of them improved their farming practices, and this year's grain production has increased significantly compared to previous years.

In the past, an average of 200 catties per mu of land could be harvested, but this year's average yield per mu has reached about 300 catties.

If every farmer uses the new agricultural technology, the yield per mu can be further improved, reaching more than 400 per mu.

According to the decree of the imperial court, the local government could collect two-thirds of the grain.

When the yield per mu is high, the grain harvest will also be high.

But this year, under Liu Qing's persuasion, the grain was harvested according to the standard of 200 catties per mu in previous years.

Anyway, according to this ratio, you can easily complete the tasks sent by the imperial court, so there is no need to collect so much.

Money is important, but so is official reputation.

Xu Qingfeng has already made enough money here, and he has a good official reputation, so there is no need to add more endowments and ruin his reputation.

-- The new farming technology is not mastered by all peasant households, and some of them still have a yield of about 200 catties per mu, and if they collect grain according to a unified standard, they will have no grain left, which will definitely attract resentment.

The main thing is to let the people have more money in their hands, and they will have that spare money to burn incense for themselves.

According to what Liu Qing learned, the people here are still quite willing to burn incense for him, but burning incense every day is also an expense for them, and they are not so willing.

If you have more food in your hands and can exchange it for more money, then you will be willing to give it up.

In addition, let them save a little more money, and they will have the opportunity to find a wife and have children in the future, which can make the population here more, which is also the basic plate to expand him.

At present, the entire Little Golden State is still in a state of vast and sparsely populated land, and there is still a lot of undeveloped land that can carry more people.

Moreover, the land in this place cannot be bought and sold privately, and without large landowners, it will be able to feed a larger population.

If it was in the past, Xu Qingfeng might not have agreed with such a statement - there is a court law there, and there is a law to follow for him to collect more, and if he collects more, he will have more money in his pocket at this time, which is reasonable corruption, why not do it?

But now that he has become a believer in Liu Qing, Liu Qing's words are naturally reasonable in his mind, as long as they are not particularly contrary to common sense, he will not doubt them.

The common people are quite happy to have collected some more grain, but there are also some worries that the government will take away all the food they have overcollected.

Farmers, in particular, who are not using the new technology, are even more worried.

But I didn't have to worry for long, and the government's order came down - it was still to pay the grain according to the amount of previous years.

It is based on the number of previous years, not the proportion.

This also made those people breathe a sigh of relief, and then felt that this Ren Zhixian was too good.

There are also more expectations for the future life.

Some people who have not used the new technology have made up their minds to work intensively according to the technology they have promoted next year to take better care of the grain in the fields.

The extra is all your own, and the motivation will be enough.

During this period of time, Liu Qing's followers have increased, but there is not much growth, just a few more than a dozen a day.

There are no special deeds, and it is a bit difficult to have a big outbreak of believers.

It's like the "Earth Induction Sutra" that he vigorously promoted, and if you recite it a hundred times a day for a hundred days, you can become his follower.

But how is it possible for the average person to recite it a hundred times a day?

Those who are able to do this have a high potential to become his followers.

Such people have become his followers for a long time.

Those who have not become his believers, relying on this brainwashing scripture, I am afraid that they will not become his believers in a few years.

By mid-August, however, Liu Qing had received more and more prompts to become his follower.

The main growth point of the believer came from the Immortal Kingdom.

It seems that this is the role played by the "Earth Induction Sutra".

This is also the high status of the royal family of the Immortal Kingdom in the hearts of the people, and it has been supported by those ordinary people, and after they issued an order to recite the brainwashing scripture a hundred times a day, many people have seriously implemented it.

In the Great Qianguo, this is unlikely.

Even if the common people receive the order, they will not really carry it out, and at most when someone comes to check it, they pretend to recite it several times.

Even in Gumu County, Liu Qing, the city god, has made so many contributions, and Xu Qingfeng's official reputation is not bad, but reciting the brainwashing scriptures still does not have a particularly good effect.

It wasn't until August that such an increase began to appear, and that's because of time.

Even if you recite it a hundred times a day, it would take 100 days to complete the task.

Moreover, a place as big as the Immortal Kingdom is scattered all over the mountains, even if there are cultivators to help contact them, it is not possible to succeed in a day or two to promote these things throughout the country.

If you want to cover the whole country, it will take at least a month or two.

The increase began in August when the number of people who received the brainwashed scriptures began.

In mid-August, the number of believers crossed the 100,000 mark.

And also unlocked a magic skill life sustaining technique.

This skill can extend the life of the target.

Of course, it also consumes divine power.

The worse the body, the older the person, the more divine power will be consumed.

For such an ability, Liu Qing is not particularly happy.

What he wants is to be able to unlock more offensive skills like the Amazing Thorn.

This world is not peaceful, he has natural enemies, and one more attack skill will have more means to save his life.

If you prolong your life, you will be able to give back to a few believers who have contributed, and it will not do him much good for himself.

However, what made him happy was that in mid-August, the number of believers on the Immortal Realm's side was skyrocketing.

After breaking through to 100,000, it only took two or three days to break through to 200,000.

It took another four or five days to break through to 500,000.

It seems that this is the order issued by the Immortal Kingdom that every common person must recite the scriptures a hundred times a day, which has been well promoted and implemented, and now it is time to reap the fruits.

By the end of August, Liu Qing received this prompt:

"Congratulations to the host, the number of believers has exceeded one million, unlocking the Divine Skill Clone Technique."
