Chapter 8 Jiyi Anmin
Qiao Kun's strength has improved rapidly, and Bukit and Honghui have also made great progress.
Under Qiao Kun's constant beating, Wu Ji has corrected his weaknesses, and his strength has gradually followed, although his cultivation has not improved, his strength has improved a lot.
Hong Yuan's martial arts techniques have been revised by Qiao Kun seven or eight times, and they have been gradually improved, and the new exercises can be perfectly compatible with her original several exercises, allowing her to practice twice the result with half the effort.
She re-cultivated, and within a few months, she had raised this martial arts technique to the third level.
Although Hongyuan is less talented, he is stoic and willing to work hard, at this speed, in another two years, he will integrate several kinds of exercises with new exercises, and he may not be able to reach the strength of Huang Feibiao back then.
In addition, Miss Ji Xinrou often comes to play with Qiao Kun, obviously because her sister is not addicted enough, and it seems that she can't play enough for a while.
This little girl is not bad in nature, but she has been favored since she was a child, and she is very rude, so she doesn't care about others.
Qiao Kun was helpless, and fooled her with words like "A sister who can protect her younger brother is a good sister".
This young lady has to help in all kinds of things to show that she is a good sister, and even practices martial arts a little more diligently and seriously.
Tairen and Tai Juan saw her grow, but they were also happy to see it.
Time passed quickly, and it was New Year's time, and the "Yi Zai", who was in charge of the township, came and brought some game to Qiao Kun.
Yi Zai was originally sent by Ji Fa, and he only helped Qiao Kun take care of the feudal town, and was directly responsible for Dazai, so he generally did not need to meet Qiao Kun.
But he found Qiao Kun at this time, he hoped that Qiao Kun would be tolerant and pay less taxes, only saying that this year's harvest was not particularly good, and the winter was cold, and some people in the countryside froze to death.
Qiao Kun was silent for a long time, and he is now also a hateful privileged class.
There are still too many people in this world who are not having a good time, not having enough to eat, and not being able to wear warm clothes. He hadn't thought about doing anything for them.
"The Ancient God Emperor"
In addition to cultivating immortals, maybe he can also do something for these people, and it will not be in vain. If nothing else, at least let the people under your rule be fed and clothed.
He began to pay attention to the food and clothing of the people under his rule, and then found a way to change it.
At this time, there was no cotton, only kapok, which could be used to fill pillows, but it could not be used to make cotton clothes or weave.
It is better for nobles to have a robe to protect themselves from the cold, but ordinary people lack the means to protect themselves from the cold.
Jiang Ziya is not wrong, with people, he wants to be a person. Knowing that the people are not living is easy is not the same as saying and doing things that are related to the life and death of the people under their rule.
He naturally told Ji Fa to reduce the food tax in his hometown.
He also called his grain supervision team to go to the mountains to collect firewood to keep the ordinary people warm.
I also thought about a lot of designs to keep out the cold in winter, such as fireplaces, caves, ondols, etc., and let the grain supervision team complete them.
Originally, the Ninth Grain Inspector was very idle, Qiao Kun was worried that their combat strength was weak, so he asked Bukit to help train the soldiers on weekdays, and now these soldiers are trained by Bukit to be very obedient and obedient.
What's more, Qiao Kun didn't use them in vain, and gave them extra wages. If they are not detained, the soldiers of the grain supervision team will naturally be obedient.
In this way, the people of other towns have endured this winter.
In the spring of the following year, Qiao Kun actively experimented with various crops in his fiefdom, hoping to increase grain production.
Although he can't make hybrid rice, he still has the knowledge of intercropping and intercropping, and if he does it properly, he can also increase part of the yield.
Moreover, hybrid rice, wheat and other crops to increase yield, he may not really be unable to do it, but it takes time and needs to be constantly experimented.
In order to facilitate the experiment, he even paid for Ji Fabao to contract a barren mountain.
The "Yellow Turban Lux Talisman" has been cultivated by him to the fourth level, and the summoned Yellow Turban Lux already has some wisdom, in addition to fighting, he can also do some basic operations, and it is more than enough to farm.
Qiao Kun handed over the work of farming to them.
In his spare time, Qiao Kun took more than 1,000 of his brothers to hunt in the mountains, collecting wild fruits, medicinal herbs, and so on.
Because every time he goes out, he has money to get, and the field chiefs, even the ordinary soldiers under his hands are very happy every time they hunt and gather.
Every time they hunt and gather, they can also eat game, and the morale of the soldiers of the Ninth Grain Brigade's army is very high. Occasionally, I train very actively.
The Ninth Grain Inspector Team directly turned into a deep mountain exploration team, and found many good things in the deep mountains, such as medicinal herbs, dried fruits, and sugar cane.
Later, Qiao Kun combined the method of calculation and found cotton in the deep mountains 100,000 miles away from Xiqi.
He brought the cotton back and gave it to the Yellow Turban Lux to cultivate.
In addition, Qiao Kun developed people's livelihood and put forward the concept of many farming tools in his previous life.
Anyway, he can refine tools, and many farm tools can be made by himself, and after they are made, they will be handed over to the people in the countryside to test, some of which are very convenient, and some of which are completely useless.
He sorted out the useful farming tools and handed them to Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, so that they could help gather the blacksmiths to build them.
These designs, as well as some heating designs, were praised by Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa, and were soon popularized throughout Xiqi.
He did not produce hybrid rice and wheat, but he had increased the grain production of the township, and his barren mountains harvested a lot of cotton.
With cotton clothes, many people were already dressed warmly in the winter.
Even the Xibohou Mansion used quilts, wore cotton clothes, and cotton clothes were popular.
By the time winter came, no one in his village had died from the cold winter.
The people of the village held him in high esteem.
And because he improved the quality of life of the entire Hou Mansion, developed many new foods, and made brown sugar from sugar cane, Ji Chang Baizi, along with Taiji and Tairen, had a good impression of him.
It is said that merchants from many places in Chuzhou and Nandu have come here to buy goods, including brown sugar, cotton cloth, etc., but at present, the output of many things is not high, and the price is very high.
In addition to caring about people's livelihood, Qiao Kun only devoted himself to cultivation and rarely communicated with people, and the Ji family was only familiar with Ji Fa, Ji Dan, Ji Shudu, Ji Shuxian, Ji Xinrou and others.
Ji Fa is good to him, and he meets all his requirements, just like his own brother. Without Ji Fa's support, everything would not have gone so smoothly.
The two often communicated and collaborated on a piano, which was made of a piece of wood in thunder. The sound of the knock is magnificent, and it makes a fluttering sound, which is very good.
It is used to make a violin, and it is naturally a good piano. The two discussed, and added another string to the Jichang six-stringed piano to make a seven-stringed piano.
In addition to the five tones of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, this qin also has two sounds: Shaogong and Shaoshang.
This piano is completed, the rhyme is thick and clear, and there is a faint thunder.
Ji Fa named it "Spring Thunder".
Qiao Kun felt that this name was not bad, so he accepted it, and used a big seal to engrave the word spring thunder on the body of the piano, and wrote a few words on the side with a small seal, "Its sound is heavy and strong, and its rhyme is chong".
The invention of the lyre brought a new problem, and it was necessary to find out how to play the lyre and create a piece suitable for playing the lyre.
This process inevitably requires a lot of cooperation with Ziyun. Anyway, he and Ziyun are also practicing to play the piano, so they don't delay anything.
In addition, Qiao Kun is really just dedicated to cultivation, because Xiqi seems to be calm, but under the calm, the calamity qi is already entangled.
The fact that "Yi Tu Gui Zang" absorbs the calamity qi faster than before is a point of proof.
So Qiao Kun used the "Easy Diagram to Hide" to absorb the calamity, suppress the talismans, and borrowed the various abilities of the "Easy Diagram to Hide" to constantly transform the fortune and derive the changes of many talismans and spells.
For example, the spell of "Sleeve Universe" is derived from the suppression of "Sleeve Universe Talisman" by "Easy Diagram Return".
Through the analysis of this talisman, Qiao Kun has already understood the various changes of the "Qiankun Talisman in the Sleeve". Now instead of borrowing the "Sleeve Charm", he can also use the Sleeve Charm.
Moreover, Qiao Kun also borrowed this knowledge to complete the "Qiankun Talisman in His Sleeve".
After completing it, the internal space of the "Sleeve Talisman" increased by about twenty-seven times, and the ability to trap people was restored.
The inner space is upside down, making it difficult to distinguish between the north and the south, the west and the east, and once trapped, it is difficult to get out.
Even if this space is increased by more than twenty times, it is not too big, if Qiao Kun can deduce the third, fourth and even fifth talismans of the "Sleeve Qiankun Talisman", I am afraid that there will be more benefits.
But it takes a lot of time and energy, and it's hard to say whether it's cost-effective.
On this day, Tai Yan and Tai Ren called each other. Because it was close to the New Year, it was normal for these elders to see him, so Qiao Kun naturally went.
When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Qiao Kun was introduced into the apse, which was Taihuan's residence.
He stepped forward to see the two elders, but saw that the young sister Ji Xinrou was also there, but he didn't see Ji Fa, Ji Dan and others.
Ji Xinrou sat next to Tai Ji and kept coloring him, but Qiao Kun didn't understand what this young lady meant.
Tai Ji took Ji Xinrou's hand and asked Qiao Kun, "My son, you gave us a lot of things, we like it very much." ”
The sugarcane cultivated by Qiao Kun was basically used to make brown sugar, and after the brown sugar was presented to King Wu, Tairen, and Taiji, there was still a lot of leftovers, which were sold to merchants in Nandu and Chuzhou, and they also made a lot of money.
In addition to brown sugar, Qiao Kun also made sugar gourds, fried chestnuts with sugar, sugar shallots, and many small snacks, which were dedicated to Tairen, Taiyan, and the young lady, anyway, the young lady likes to eat very much.
But now, Qiao Kun is worried in his heart, and he just hopes that Tai Yan and Tai Ren will not eat polysaccharides, because eating too much can easily lead to diabetes. But he couldn't explain the concept of diabetes.
Tai Ji didn't know what Qiao Kun was thinking, so she asked him with a smile: "Speaking of which, I still don't know how old you are?" ”
How old is it? Why do you suddenly ask this? Qiao Kun hasn't thought about this question yet, and he hasn't passed one birthday yet, so how can he remember it?
When asked at this time, he seriously calculated that he was less than six years old when he crossed over, and twenty-two or three years had passed in this world, and only said: "If it's not twenty-eight years old, it's twenty-nine years old." ”
Tai Ji smiled when she heard this: "Twenty-eight or nine, that's not small, have you ever been married?" ”
