Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Before Mei Yingxue went back, Zhang He accompanied her around Heishui County for a few days.

This time, Mei Yingxue pulled Mei Yun to help, and she helped him a lot at the critical moment, allowing him to finally dominate half of the Lu Kingdom.

Although Mei Yun put forward some conditions, joining the Sun-Moon Alliance was inherently mutually beneficial.

The Sun-Moon Alliance needed his territory to support its appearance, but he was interested in the inheritance accumulated over tens of thousands of years. In this regard, Zhang Heping did not suffer.

Spiritual tools such as rocket launchers are just dead objects. Knowledge is priceless. However, the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty like to hide it, so it becomes extremely difficult to obtain knowledge.

When sending Mei Yingxue away, Zhang He made an appointment with her to meet at the headquarters of the Sun-Moon Alliance two years later.

Zhang He coveted the various inheritances of the Sun-Moon Alliance, so he naturally needed to go to the main helm in person.

As the helmsman of the largest branch of the Sun-Moon Alliance, he also wanted to show his face and become familiar with each other so that we could meet each other if something happened in the future.

After sending Mei Yingxue away, Zhang He began to deal with the backlog of affairs in Heishui County.

Although he now occupies most of Lu State, Zhang He still calls his power Heishui County.

Without the canonization of the Zhou royal family, he would not dare to change his name to the Blackwater Kingdom on his own.

"Wei Peng, how many spiritual stones are there in the warehouse?"

Zhang He's promotion of the Golden Elixir in the space this time caused a sharp decline in the spiritual energy in the space, and the production of spiritual spring water dropped to less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday. It would take more than ten days to water the entire space.

He wanted to know about the situation in the warehouse. If the quantity was large, he could withdraw part of the spiritual stones to replenish the space with spiritual energy.

"Sir, our Heishui County is in dire need of spiritual stones. There are only 305 spiritual stones in the warehouse.

As of today, the Blackwater Army has not been able to pay military pay for a year.

The school also temporarily stopped supplying training resources. "

305 spiritual stones may be considered a huge fortune for a young Qi-training monk.

But for Heishui County, which has a population of two million and maintains an army of 2,000 monks, it is really miserable.

Zhang He knew that in previous wars, the spiritual tools used by the militiamen consumed a spiritual stone for each strike.

Each of the 40,000 militiamen armed with spiritual tools would consume 40,000 spiritual stones for each attack.

Moreover, it is enough for one attack on the battlefield, so it is enjoyable to fight on the battlefield, and the spiritual stones are burned quickly.

After reporting the situation of the spirit stone, Wei Peng complained again.

"Due to the deployment of a large number of young men to participate in the war, the fields have been severely abandoned in the past two years and grain production has been severely reduced. This year, the county's food supply for the winter is also a problem, and many people may starve to death."

Zhang He also frowned deeply at this moment. He had always looked down upon the tenants under the nobles' rule starving to death.

This time, this kind of thing will happen in his territory.

The agricultural productivity of the Great Zhou Dynasty was low, and grain output was low. Even if there were any natural or man-made disasters, there would not be enough food to eat.

If Dehua County had not planted some sweet potatoes with high yields, the food shortage would have been even more serious.

After this battle, all the resources previously accumulated in Blackwater County were exhausted, and now it is completely destitute.

"What about income?"

When Wei Peng heard this, his face looked a little ugly.

“In the past few years, apart from expenses, there has been almost no source of income from spiritual stones.

Due to insufficient manpower, the caravan also participated in the battlefield fighting, resulting in huge manpower losses.

The newly obtained mineral veins have been mined by people all the time, but there are no other families in Lu State, and they cannot sell them if they are dug up. "

Well, that means all production has come to a standstill.

Blackwater Town was already so poor, so he naturally didn't ask Wei Peng about the Lingshi anymore.

It seems that you can only rely on yourself to earn spiritual stones to restore spiritual energy in the space.

At this moment, Hu Ya walked in with a swagger carrying a rocket launcher.

"Sir, this is my newly improved rocket launcher. It has a longer range and faster speed."

Huya said, and handed the rocket launcher in his hand to Zhang He for inspection.

Zhang He took the rocket launcher and observed it carefully for a while, and he could already see some clues.

The improved rocket launcher has some changes in material composition, and several new talisman formations have been engraved on it.

"Let's go! Let's go try it!"

Zhang He said, picked up the rocket launcher and walked out the door.

The two found a deserted slope, and Zhang He embedded two mutant Thunder Grass seeds into the rocket launcher.

Since it is an experiment, there is no need to fill all one hundred grooves.

Zhang He faced a rock half a mile away in front of him and pressed the switch of the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher immediately flew out of his hand like an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

"boom!"

It can accurately hit a stone half a mile away. In terms of power, it is almost the same as before, but the range has increased by sixty or seventy feet.

"good!"

Zhang He was in a good mood, and the disappointment caused by being too poor had been forgotten.

Previously, although the rocket launcher was powerful, its range was too short and could only hit some foundation-building monks.

As for the golden elixir, its attack range is farther, and before you can reach it, the enemy can use the magic weapon to kill you at will.

Therefore, in the previous battle with the demon, it was difficult to hurt the Jindan monk with a rocket launcher.

The dozens of feet added this time make the rocket launcher's range almost the same as the attack range of the Golden Core cultivator.

From now on, ordinary monks holding rocket launchers will also be qualified to challenge the majesty of the golden elixir monks.

If there is another battle next time, there is no need to worry about the opponent having too many high-level monks.

Zhang He patted Huya on the shoulder.

"Good job this time. Your arsenal will first refine 10,000 pieces of this improved rocket launcher and store them in the warehouse.

In addition, you can continue to research to see if you can make the range longer. "

Huya grinned, "If the range is longer and the speed is faster, the requirements for refining materials will be higher, and the refining cost will inevitably become higher."

"You try it first. If you can refine it, just refine a few and keep them."

Zhang He encouraged Hu Ya a few words, and then the two returned home.

As soon as Zhang He sent Huya away, a disciple of Shadow Pavilion quietly sent a jade slip.

After taking the jade slip and removing the black and foggy restrictions on it, he penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.

After reading the above content, it turns out that the Flying Cavalry Army has returned to Lu State.

However, there were 2,000 riders in total, and only a few hundred came back this time. They had already gone to Lule City to live again.

With the fighting strength of the Flying Cavalry Army, even if there were only a few hundred people, most forces would not dare to provoke them.

According to the intelligence, the Flying Cavalry Army seems to be planning to stay here for a long time.

Currently, there is a royal official named Feng Zhen living in Lule City. This person has issued several decrees, all of which are related to the governance of Lu State.
