Chapter 142: The Role of the Elemental Control Array
Jiang Xingchen was promoted to a first-class baron, and the territory expanded five miles to the east again.
The villagers who knew the news were ecstatic, as if they were the ones who had been crowned, and they were all very energetic when they were doing farm work. Now, they have no doubt that Xingchen Ling will definitely be able to become a small town, and Lord Jiang is really capable.
Du Rushan and Han Xiaowu were shocked, they were from a noble background, they were more knowledgeable than the villagers, and they didn't even count the promotion level, and they also expanded their territory twice, which had never happened in the history of the empire.
Even with them, their gaze at Jiang Xingchen changed, as if they were looking at a non-human, which made Jiang Xingchen depressed.
Mei'er is the little girl the most happy, her brother has been promoted again, and she will definitely be able to achieve her wish in the future. She knew that her brother did not go to the territory with good conditions, and tried his best to expand the territory again and again, just to build the city described for herself.
In addition to being happy in her heart, the little girl couldn't help but stir in her heart, and the thick happiness made her feel like she was in a dream, and she never wanted to wake up.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen seemed extremely calm, and shook his head again and again: "Hey, I still haven't been able to achieve my goal, I am only a first-class baron, and I am still far from becoming a small town by expanding my fiefdom for five miles!"
When the old man heard this, he looked at him pretending to be forced again, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out: "You are a little soulless, you have expanded your territory twice in a row, and you have been promoted to a first-class baron, which has never appeared in the entire history of the empire, and you are not satisfied with your special mother, in the end, you will not let others live!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled, glanced at the old man, and said lightly: "However, no matter what, I am one step closer to the town, and there are more 10,000 acres of wasteland, which is also what I need!"
"Uh!" the old man was stunned. asked: "You can't plant 10,000 acres of land now, what are you going to do with the new fiefdom?"
Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man: "Cut! You don't understand at all, who said that you can't plant it, the whole land is planted with sunflowers and sesame seeds, and the new fiefdom is used to grow vegetables!"
"I don't understand!" The corners of the old man's eyes twitched, and his voice was raised: "You don't have to urge the flow here, and you have planted sunflowers and sown for more than ten days." It hasn't germinated until now, so it can't be planted at all...... In addition, you want to grow vegetables, which is simply wishful thinking...... Even if you could, would you have so many people available?"
"Huh, old fellow. You see if I can do the work, there are not enough people! The mountain man has his own trick!" Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man again.
"Huh. You kid is still energetic, aren't you! You forced me!" The corner of the old man's mouth pulled up a sinister smile, took out another piece of white silk, and said, "The Imperial Academy also has a letter to you!"
"What are they doing with the letter to me, do they want me to train the trainees again, this time they said that they have to charge a fee. I need money so much now......" Jiang Xingchen thought as he took the white silk.
But after two glances, he shuddered violently and looked at the back of his hand. A layer of goosebumps came out of his neck.
"Old thing, I'm not done with you...... Vomit~" Jiang Xingchen threw the white silk on the table, hugged his stomach and dried up, the white silk was written so numbly, what a heart and liver baby, what a little kiss, a little licking sweet and the like, it could be seen that his internal organs were churning.
The old man kept staring at Jiang Xingchen's expression, expecting him to look like he couldn't stand the gagging...... At this time, when he saw that it really worked, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Little Soul Dan, I let you still have sรจ with me, hahahahahaha......"
Then, the old man swooped out of the door and said loudly: "There is a noble lady from the imperial capital who writes a love letter to Lord Jiang, is anyone willing to listen to it?"
"I'm the second Ao! old thing, I'm inseparable from you......" Jiang Xingchen's roar came from the room, and a group of people who listened to it learned the technology of salt making were furious.
After a while, Mei'er ran back, looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was adding clothes to his body, and asked strangely, "Brother, why are you wearing so much on such a hot day?"
"I'm cold!"
"Ahh
"I don't have a fever, I'm still sweating......" As she spoke, Mei'er saw the white silk on the table at a glance and took it casually.
After a moment, there was another retching sound in the room, and Mei'er ran out with her mouth covered......
Next, Jiang Xingchen was depressed, whoever saw him looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, the muscles on his face twitched, he couldn't help it, so he said hello, lowered his head and hurried away!
"Old thing, you wait to eat white flour cakes for a month!" Jiang Xingchen made up his mind with hatred......
In early July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and all the people who had learned the salt-making technique had finally left, and Jiang Xingchen had finally made time to come to the field.
The sesame seeds are growing well and look normal, but the sunflower seeds have been sown for more than ten days, and only scattered shoots have emerged, and most of them have not grown.
"It's strange, sunflower seeds don't contain vitality, they should be able to grow alive!" Jiang Xingchen frowned and pondered.
"Do the seeds still need to be treated?" Jiang Xingchen knew that some seeds needed to be foamed, dried and other processes before they could be planted, but he only knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know how to operate them.
"Why do sunflower seeds grow in the wild...... By the way, could it have something to do with the vitality! In this world, the vitality can promote the growth of plants, and the seeds contain vitality, and the growth is better than other species...... Although sunflower seeds do not contain vitality, they also need vitality to promote growth, that is to say, the vitality of this world has the same effect as fertilizer, or greater!"
This thought flashed, and Jiang Xingchen immediately used the method of breathing, squatted down, and pressed his hand on the ground.
Sure enough, with the vibration of the Yuan Spring in his brain, he noticed that there were indeed fluctuations in the Yuan Qi under the ground, and it was no less than that distributed in the sky.
"There is vitality!" Jiang Xingchen was a little strange, obviously he had vitality, why couldn't the sunflowers grow.
"Could it be that the density of my planting is too high, and the guiding vitality is not enough!" Jiang Xingchen had a flash of inspiration again, and this time, he suddenly thought that his Yuan Attraction Control Array could gather Yuan Qi, and this was the effect.
The more I think about it, the more I think that's the reason. Seeds containing vitality are used in grains, and sesame seeds are planted in a small area, and only sunflowers are planted in a large area, so there is a large demand for vitality.
"It should be like this!" Jiang Xingchen immediately began to operate the breathing method, attracting the Yuan Control Array to gather the vitality. Then Jiang dispersed the gathered vitality on the ground.
Afterwards, Jiang Xingchen walked around in the ditch in the field, the sun was shining, and he didn't pay attention to the sweat like rain.
The old man had been secretly following Jiang Xingchen, and when he saw him like this, he scratched his head strangely: "This kid won't let sunflowers grow when he walks around like this, right?"
For a whole day, Jiang Xingchen returned to the Lord's Mansion with his tired body, continuously using the breathing method, and after basking in the sun for so long, he felt that he was about to collapse.
When you get home. Jiang Xingchen scooped up a basin of cold water, which was a burst of cow drink.
"Summer is really more sad than winter!" A basin of cold water under his stomach, Jiang Xingchen felt that it was not enjoyable at all, and the heat in his body was not eliminated at all.
"Fan, air conditioning, ice cream. Soda ...... If only there was ice! No, I'll have to get an ice cellar out of it this year!"
Jiang Xingchen was making up his mind here. Mei'er has already made dinner.
When eating. Jiang Xingchen's amount of food once again stunned the old man, this kid would come like this from time to time, and Luo Yu could burst out several streets.
"Brother, I haven't been idle these days, you can rest for a few days, and the brothers who farm the land don't have to go in person, just hand it over to Uncle Shi Wazi!" Mei'er pouted and said, seeing her brother tired like this, the little girl was distressed!
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen patted the top of Mei'er's head and said, "Wait for the sunflower seedlings to grow." My brother will be able to relax......"
"Liar!" Mei'er puffed out her cheeks and said: "The new 10,000 acres of wasteland still need to be developed, how can my brother be idle, there is no one available in our territory now!"
"Hehe, who said that no one is available, we can hire someone to work!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"But now is the time when the farming is busy, and even the civilians in the big cities don't have time...... Moreover, once it is time for the autumn harvest, everyone will be busy grabbing the harvest, and even the women will not be idle, and there will be no one to find at all!"
After a pause, Mei'er gently shook Jiang Xingchen's arm, and said softly: "Brother, we are not short of money now, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, we don't need to work so hard, what if you are tired, then let's talk about 10,000 acres of wasteland next year!"
"My brother is only seventeen years old, where can he be tired...... In any place, food is fundamental, and if there is no food, there will be chaos! I have laid a solid foundation for our territory, and only then can we develop it without worries, so that Mei'er can live in a skyscraper!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and continued: "In addition, I am in a hurry to grow sunflowers, and it is very useful to grow vegetables! In the future, it will take a lot of money to build a new territory, so I have to make some money-making industries!"
"Brother!" Mei'er was speechless, gently hugged Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, and rested her head on his shoulder.
After a while, Mei'er raised her head and asked, "Brother, does it cost a lot of money to build a city?"
"Where is a lot of money, it's a bottomless pit!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "No matter how much money my brother can earn!"
"By the way, my brother hasn't told me yet, how can I hire someone, I'm busy with farming now!" asked Mei'er again.
"This ...... You can definitely hire it for more money!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Lie to me again, and spend more money, even if the vegetable planting is successful, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the cost of labor! My brother has such a good brain now, how can he do a money-losing business!" Mei'er puffed out her mouth and shook his arm vigorously: "Hurry up and sue me!"
"Hey...... Secrecy!" Jiang Xingchen smiled proudly, little girl, didn't you keep it a secret from me on my birthday some time ago, and I will also give you a secret this time.
"That's it......" Mei'er's eyes bent up, and she said with a smile: "Anyway, you can know sooner or later, don't worry! Brother is tired for a day, hurry up and sleep!"
"Hey~" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the situation when he was painted with a flower face a few days ago, and his body shook suddenly.
"What's that, you can sue you now......
"No need, brother go to bed early!" Mei'er didn't give Jiang Xingchen a chance to finish speaking, and trotted out of the door.
"Alas, little girl, don't go, I really want to sue you......" (To be continued......
