Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Fat Tiger hid behind a big rock, his eyes fixed on the opposite direction of Mount Baitou.

After waiting for a short time, he saw Zhang He rushing into the cave at the foot of Baitou Mountain in a bit of a panic.

Immediately afterwards, a silver light shot into the cave like lightning.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Fat Tiger only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and felt the ground tremble and the mountains shake. The Baitou Mountain in front of him collapsed and exploded, and rocks shot up into the sky.

The shock wave from the explosion leveled everything around it.

This kind of mighty power of heaven and earth is like the power of heaven!

It's just that the son rushed into Baitou Mountain just now, but he didn't come out. I don't know what happened?

"Go! Follow me to see!"

Fat Tiger immediately flew towards the collapsed Baitou Mountain with his sword, and the 100 Blackwater Army quickly chased after him.

"Young master!"

"Young master!"

Fat Tiger shouted, and hurriedly searched among the ruins.

"Quick retreat!"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

It was Zhang He who came out from the ground far away and shouted at him.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Fat Tiger hurried over to help Zhang He up.

Zhang He had the experience of last time, and this time he was much better. Apart from his broken robe, he was not injured.

"Get out of here now, the zombie group should be here soon."

This time, only the silver-armored corpse was lured. The speed of the rest of the zombie group was too slow, and they were still chasing after them. They might be here in a while.

A group of people hurriedly left the broken Paektu Mountain.

What Zhang He didn't know was that from the moment the silver-armored corpse died, the group of 50,000 zombies had split into more than ten groups of zombies.

These dozens of zombies no longer gathered in one place, but were led by the armored corpses to go their separate ways.

After the dispersal of the zombie group, without the oppression of the silver-armored corpse, they are free, and they are no longer active in activities such as jumping into pits.

Like the previous method of digging holes for defense, the effect has been greatly reduced.

It has been two days since Zhang He returned to the Lanling County Office. After the zombie group split, there were only a few thousand per unit, and the pressure on defense was greatly reduced. However, for a long time to come, Lanling County will not be able to think about peace.

Today, Ma Gan led 800 black water troops, and dispatched some local militias to prepare to wipe out a zombie team.

Now that there are no silver-armored corpses, Zhang He no longer needs to personally participate in this kind of thing, so he temporarily lives in the Lanling County Yamen.

He only sits here, and he doesn't participate in how to fight, he doesn't command, and he can just take the opportunity to train troops.

As long as they performed outstandingly in battle and made contributions to the soldiers, they would be rewarded heavily.

However, the system under Zhang He's rule is different from the mainstream system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if you make great contributions, he will not reward an inch of land.

Resources such as land and spirit veins must be firmly in the hands of Zhang He, and then the income from these resources will be distributed by Zhang He.

The fiefdom system was completely abolished, so that the bottom layer would no longer be exploited multiple times, otherwise they would still have to follow the old path of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

Zhang He's understanding of this is that there is no middleman to make the difference.

Tenants only need to pay 30% of the land rent to Zhang He for farming. In fact, he regards the 30% of the land rent as a kind of tax.

If all the land is rewarded or distributed, after a long time,

These lands and resources will be concentrated to a small number of elites, squeezing the living space of the people at the bottom.

However, although Zhang He did not reward his subordinates with land for their meritorious service, he was not ambiguous in other aspects.

You can reward gold, silver, cloth and silk, or you can reward spirit stone pills.

Recently, he carried out another reform. All future rewards and salaries will be replaced by food stamps.

In addition to exchanging food stamps for food, you can also go to the store opened by Zhang He to exchange for any commodity.

In this subtle influence, food stamps have replaced the function of currency.

And after these years of use, everyone has become accustomed to food stamps, and even likes to use food stamps, which is much more convenient.

In the next step, food stamps can be directly converted into currency, and then slowly promote your own currency to other places.

Zhang He still remembers that in order to buy something, he hired several people and picked several loads of copper coins to walk in the streets and alleys, which was time-consuming and laborious.

This time, the remaining 50,000 zombies spent a full two years in Lanling County before they were all beheaded or captured alive by the Black Water Army.

The purpose of capturing them alive is naturally to use them as coolies to repay the damage they caused to Lanling County with their bodies.

The Blackwater Army paid a lot, including their lives, to calm down the 50,000 zombies.

While paying, I also reaped a strong army with hundreds of battles.

After two years of rapid growth, coupled with Zhang He's support at all costs, in just two years, another 18 people have successfully advanced to the foundation building.

Since then, Zhang He has one mid-stage Foundation Establishment (Fat Tiger), 23 early-stage Foundation Establishment, plus Zhang He's own late Foundation-Establishment period. As long as the little skull wakes up, it should be the Golden Core Stage.

Now his comprehensive strength is no longer weaker than those big families in Lu country.

And this is just the beginning. There are quite a lot of people in the Blackwater Army who have cultivated Qi in the later stage, and there should be many people who will advance to the next stage.

It's a pity that he lacks martial arts skills. There are still many people in the Black Water Army who are not immortal cultivators, but warriors. The promotion channels for warriors are different from those of immortal cultivators.

Lu Guo mainly practiced the way of immortality, and the way of martial arts was on the decline. Zhang He has never been able to find a higher-level kung fu suitable for warriors to practice.

Zhang He has heard that martial arts are flourishing in several countries, and the whole country is practicing martial arts, but the distance is too far, and he can't leave for the time being.

While the strength of the Black Water Army has been greatly improved, the number of people is still only 1,000.

However, a reserve team has been added. When the Blackwater Army is downsizing, manpower will be drawn from the reserve team to supplement.

Because of successive years of fighting, the death rate of the Blackwater Army is not low, and it is often necessary to replenish manpower.

Even so, only elite students who graduated from the school are eligible to join the reserve team of the Blackwater Army.

Because under Zhang He's rule, whether it is a school, a militia organization, or other departments, the people used are the children of tenant farmers.

For the tenant farmers who have nothing, as long as there is a chance to stand up, many people can risk their lives.

And joining the Blackwater Army is the greatest opportunity. As long as you don't die, you can completely turn yourself over.

In addition to educating everyone to be loyal through the school, Zhang He will also guide them in terms of interests.

If you only talk about loyalty, there is no benefit at all. It requires extremely superb leadership art, and Zhang He thinks he can't do this.

But on the basis of loyalty, coupled with the induction of some interests, as well as the threat of harm and intimidation, and then managing these armies, it seems to be handy.

The current Black Water Army has been built by him into a cohesive, centripetal, and combat-effective tiger and wolf division.
