Life forced no one to leave, and everyone followed the rope and slowly descended to the bottom of the sinkhole.

The rope is divided into two, one is grasped in the hand and the other is tied to the body, and there is someone pulling on it, so even if the hand slips, there will be no accidents.

An hour later, everyone successfully landed under the sinkhole, and other supplies were slowly delivered.

Firewood, grain, shovels, poles, willow baskets, covers, pots and pans, etc.

For a long time to come, everybody will have to live here.

Huang Zhong looked around, this is a natural deep pit, the walls are layer after layer of rock, layer upon layer.

There are some boulders in the corners that have collapsed at some point.

Farther away, it was pitch black, but the sound of water flowing through could be heard, and it was supposed to be an underground river.

Huang Zhong looked up, and thin light leaked from above.

His eyesight was so great that he could even see the person at the entrance of the cave who was tightening the rope.

Although the area under the pit is not small, it makes people feel extremely depressed, and there is an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.

As soon as the people of Taiping Road left, they could only honestly boil the nitrate below, and they couldn't run if they wanted to.

Not far away, a thick layer of soil is nitrate.

In the past few days, all the boilers have undergone professional training, including him.

As a member of the Taiping Dao, he naturally became the captain of this pothole.

Huang Zhong glanced at the people who were a little uneasy, and opened his mouth with a flat face.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's take a rest first, build a fire later, get something to eat, eat and drink enough before starting work."

"Okay." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was quite nervous when they first came to this strange environment.

As the captain, Huang Zhong is tall and big, and he is so calm and steady, which makes everyone feel a lot more at ease.

After a while, after a full meal, everyone immediately began to work.

To boil nitrate, you first need to dig a pit, and you need a big pit.

After digging the pit, you have to use tools to tamp the pit wall and the bottom of the pit.

The crowd was divided into several teams, and they dug seven or eight big pits, and they were tired and humming.

A series of preparatory work can be described as extremely cumbersome, but it is indispensable.

Huang Zhong, as the captain, stepped aside, twisted up a piece of soil, put it in his mouth and tasted it, smashing it.

"The taste is spicy, good, brothers, the nitrate here is the best!"

Nitrate has four flavors, sweet and sour, the best is spicy in the mouth, followed by bitterness, and then sweet and sour.

The quality of the nitrate in this pit is good enough to mean that if they work hard, they will receive an extra reward!

Everyone was motivated in an instant!

…

The legend of the Nitrate Guy begins at this moment.

A few years later, some people who like cave exploration, after a lot of hardships, finally conquered a dangerous situation, and were complacent, thinking about whether they were the first people to go here, and suddenly saw large and small nitrate pits not far away, and scolded at that time.

"Why is there a boiling guy here!"

Thousands of years later, whether it is a cave or a deep pit, there are nitrate pits, a few few, and hundreds more.

An incomparably mysterious organization, the Boiling Guy, has spread.

Its origin can be traced back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a legendary person.

Taiping Daoist Lu Yu!

It was he who developed the best ratio of gunpowder, it was he who ushered in a new era, and it was he who made the boiling of the cave a hot profession.

Of course, that's for later.

And at this moment, as the source of the legend, Lu Yu finally got the mountain villa promised by the county guard, as well as the 1,200 acres of land.

The location here is not bad, it is said to be a mountain villa, but it is actually a mansion next to a small hill.

Obviously, this is the kind of mansion that was built to escape the heat.

After Lu Yu took over, he learned after careful questioning that this was originally a villa belonging to the Tan family in Jianyang County!

This puzzled him, and the CPU almost burned dry for a while.

After pondering it repeatedly, I figured out why.

It is impossible for the county guard Chu Gong to make a move for no reason, he must have received the benefits of the Tan family, so he plans to push the boat down the river, and use this as an excuse to beat Lu Yu well.

But soon, Chu Gong was frightened by Lu Yu's thunder, and he was directly coaxed, not daring to pursue this matter anymore.

Not only that, in order to befriend Lu Yu, he also gave this backhand to Lu Yu!

Of course, with Chu Gong's character of eating meat and not spitting out bones, let him give it away directly, which is equivalent to the duck flying to the beak again, but it is really uncomfortable.

So, the county guard Chu Gong thought of another way.

He informed the major families and asked them to express their words as well.

After all, Lu Yu, the medicine god of Taiping Dao, had done such a great good deed, how could he not express it?

It is necessary to highlight the pattern of high-ranking households!

As soon as Chu Gong said this, the major families thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, and they all paid money.

Exchange money for fame, and this transaction is not a loss.

Chu Gong didn't lose anything, he naturally filled his pockets and ate all these benefits, so he gave this villa and 1,200 acres of land to Lu Yu in the name of the county guard and the major families!

In this way...... Only the injured world of the Tan family has been achieved!

……

Lu Yu looked at the beautiful scenery around him, and he was in a good mood.

Since he was able to practice at the little rich woman's side, his cultivation speed has been much faster.

After repeating it several times, the spiritual power in the body was wisps and dense, and it had reached a critical point, and it was about to step into the realm of the second layer of qi training.

Furthermore.

The Tan family's case has been decided.

Bandits looting!

As for where these bandits went, it had nothing to do with the county guard.

And the Tan family also fell apart completely, and even affected the Fu family associated with it.

Lu Yu handled this matter perfectly, and he had no worries for the time being.

As for this villa and the 1,200 acres of land under the mountain, it can be regarded as an windfall.

And then there's ......

"Calculate the time, Master should be coming soon."

"I don't know what kind of expression Master will have when he sees the gunpowder explode."

Lu Yu smiled, and many thoughts flashed through him.

Then he left the cottage with his men and went to the bottom of the mountain, where he went to meet the tenants as a landlord.

The acres of land here are cultivated by tenants at the bottom of the mountain, and they are also the source of their livelihood.

The tenant's share is fifty-fifty cents.

Five tenants, five Tan families.

This ratio is also the most common.

As for the tenant rent, all the landlords are considered dead.

Under the fifty percent rent, if the tenant is alone, he can eat enough, and even have surplus food.

But if you have parents, wives and children, then you can't.

A family of three or five, with just that little bit of food, can only barely survive, and as for being full, don't even think about it.

In addition to renting, Dadou collects rent, and Xiaodou lends, which are also basic operations, and they come and go, all of which are interests.

Lu Yu will not continue to squeeze the tenants, but he will not give up his interests excessively, and he will directly divide the land as soon as he comes up.

Once the rewards and punishments are not clear, it is difficult for him to continue to establish his prestige in the Taiping Dao.

The only thing he could do was to reduce the tenant rent ratio slightly, so that the tenants could eat sixty percent, and by the way, they would be exempted from the debts they owed to the Tan family in the past.

If the Tan family comes to ask for debts, then directly report their names.

Tell them to come to Taiping Dao Lu Yu to ask for it!

This sudden kindness made all the tenants at a loss, and they were all wondering what the new owner would sell? What is the purpose?

It wasn't until they heard Lu Yu's name that everyone reacted, and the person in front of them was actually the Taiping Dao Medicine God!

The saint who developed the miracle medicine and cured the plague!

That god-man who is proficient in thunder and seems to be the reincarnation of Thor!

The original cautious suspicion was instantly replaced by gratitude.

For a while, the crowd cheered and boiled, and everyone enthusiastically took their own food to give to Lu Yu.

Most of them are some local goods, mountain goods, which are not valuable, but they are the best gifts they can come up with.

Lu Yu did not refuse, and took a little bit of everything.

That's when a piece of news came.

Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher, has arrived in Nanyang!
