"The environment in this world is really good."

The air is fresh, the climate is warm and humid, the sunshine hours are extremely long, and the forest coverage rate exceeds 90%.

The mountains are good, the water is good, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Zhou Ming was working in the fields with a hoe in his hand. During his break, he listened to the ethereal chirping of birds and looked at the wild flowers on the hillside in the distance. He was in a happy and cheerful mood.

Then he looked at the beautiful girl next to him. While he was hoeing weeds in the wheat field, he looked at himself with affectionate eyes from time to time.

The woman next to the girl inspected Zhou Ming's work results and nodded with satisfaction: "Shanhe, you did a good job in hoeing the land. Not to mention the clean grass, you also hoeed more places than my aunt. You are still quite good." He knows how to work."

Hearing Aunt Xia's praise for himself, Zhou Ming nodded lightly: "It's not bad. I haven't done this kind of work for a long time, and my hands are a little raw." Otherwise, he would have done a better job.

Aunt Xia smiled and shook her head. This boy is really not humble at all.

The girl's eyes glowed brighter, and she looked at Zhou Ming, feeling happy that the mountains and rivers were even better than she imagined!

When the villagers in the neighboring fields saw this scene, they all started to make a fuss.

"Zhang Shanhe, didn't you say that farm work is for women? Why are you going to the fields too?"

"Hey, Zhang Shanhe, you're doing a pretty good job. Can you come and help in aunt's field?"

"Zhang Shanhe, how are your injuries? Are they all healed?" The girl in another field asked with concern.

"Zhang Shanhe, Tian Nier asked me to send you a message, telling you to forget her and stop looking for her!"

"Zhang Shanhe, Tian Ni'er is not the only girl in the village. My Qiao'er is also pretty good. Why don't you marry my Qiao'er? Seeing that you are so handsome, my aunt will not accept any gifts from you." Another woman joked, It elicited a roar of laughter.

"No, no, I saved Shanhe. He is my man now. None of you are allowed to steal him!"

Xia Xiaoyan was anxious and glared at the woman fiercely, as if she was guarding private property. She also tugged Zhou Ming's hand and said coyly: "Shanhe, I won't accept your betrothal gift either..."

Zhou Ming has a black streak on his head.

Looking around again with squinted eyes, in this land of several hundred acres, all the farm work was done by gossip-loving women and girls, not a single big man.

And after he recovered from his injuries and appeared in the field carrying a hoe, two of the three sentences these old and young women said were about him.

It's like a country of daughters.

Why does this happen?

It is mainly related to the productivity structure of this world.

Half hunting + half farming.

Men are mainly engaged in hunting, killing animals in the endless vast forests to obtain highly nutritious meat and fur for keeping warm and cold.

Women tend the fields at home, grow some grains and vegetables, occasionally go to the forest to pick some wild fruits, sew and wash some clothes, and cook and process food. There are many and complicated things.

This world has many food sources and fewer natural disasters. In addition, with the existence of Ling Yuan, people generally have good physical health and the pressure to survive is not great.

But that doesn't mean there's no danger.

On the contrary, there are many dangers, and one must always keep one's heart strings in mind.

One is the wild beasts in the forest. There will be some enhanced and mutated individuals. Hunters call them "extraordinary beasts". The alien beasts are extremely powerful, move strangely, have strong attack power, high alertness, and are extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary hunters, It is no match for the alien beasts, and powerful alien beasts may even appear, killing a whole village, and finally having to call in monks to eradicate them.

The second one is the monks themselves. There are few secular political systems such as dynasties and empires in this world. It is usually a powerful sect that controls dozens of surrounding large cities. These large cities manage the surrounding villages and towns, but They all belong to extensive management, there is no household registration, and there is no perfect tax collection system. There is an army, but unless there is a large and destructive gang of thieves, ordinary criminal cases will not be ignored at all. To prevent theft and public security, we can only rely on the villages and towns to form strongholds. Save.

As for monks, they are divided into upright monks and evil monks. Upright monks will not disturb the peace of those mortal villages, but it is different for evil cultivators, because many evil cultivators may require 10,000 babies if they want to be completed quickly. Heartfelt stuff. Or take 100,000 souls to refine magical weapons such as the soul-calling flag, which will easily take countless lives, and there is no upper limit on the number of people.

Killing a few small villages may be considered a small incident in the eyes of evil cultivators.

In addition, those strong men who are not monks also massacre a village to vent their feelings when they are unhappy... In short, compared to "human beings" whose temperaments are elusive and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, the beasts' A threat, not even a threat.

But there is no way, who made this world respect martial arts and the weak eat the strong.

If you want to live longer and avoid all accidents, you can only make yourself stronger.

Based on Zhou Ming's cultivation speed, the system estimates that he may break through to the late stage of Qi refining around the age of 30. It will be quite difficult to make progress after that.

The lifespan of an ordinary person in this world can probably reach 100 years... Only those who have reached the "Fixed Pill Stage" will have their lifespan significantly extended.

If you can't reach the solid core stage, you will try your best to survive, and you will probably only live to be about two hundred years old.

Furthermore, given Zhou Ming's qualifications, which the system is extremely unfavorable to, the probability of breaking through to the solid core stage is almost zero.

"so what should I do now?"

"What can I do in a hundred years?"

"Do you really want to commit suicide and get a new body quickly?"

This was a question that Zhou Ming had been pondering over while working in the fields these past few days, ignoring the comments of the women around him.

Then look at the dense and strong golden wheat seedlings growing in the ground (golden wheat, a wheat-like crop, the grains turn golden when mature, so it is called "golden wheat"). They never fertilize or water, but only occasionally remove them. Zhou Ming was quite surprised that it could grow like this after weeding.

After asking about the yield, Aunt Xia said: Once the golden wheat matures, one acre of land can produce about five hundred kilograms of wheat.

The yield is a little low, but you can plant it four times a year.

"Four...four times?"

Zhou Ming, who has a bit of an old farmer's character, opened his mouth wide with great surprise on his face.

The annual output is four seasons, 500 catties per season, and the total output per mu is 2,000 catties. In this world where agricultural development is backward and underdeveloped, this is how it is done.

etc!

"With repeated planting like this, the soil fertility must be too much, and without fertilization, the soil fertility will be exhausted within a few years of planting, right?" Zhou Ming said.

"Do you still know the power of the earth?"

There was a strange look in Aunt Xia's eyes, and she heard some terms that she didn't understand pop out of the boy's mouth, so she said: "Such a piece of land will be abandoned after five consecutive years of cultivation."

Five years?

Zhou Ming was even more surprised and asked quickly: "Auntie, have you plowed this land during the past five years?"

"Plowing, what is that?" Aunt Xia was confused.

"It means letting oxen pull the iron plow to plow the deep soil to the surface and increase the supply of nutrients."

"No, no, oxen are precious. There are not even two in the whole village. And what is an iron plow? Is it made of iron? Iron is even more expensive. Ten pounds of iron can be exchanged for one ox."

Aunt Xia said.

The iron in this world is not the iron in Zhou Ming's world, but a very strange substance. Not only is it less abundant underground, it is also difficult to smelt and is very expensive.

As everyone knows, when Aunt Xia said that iron is very expensive, another word came to Zhou Ming's mind:

Big steelmaking.

Find a large mineral deposit and use industrial smelting methods such as blast furnaces to smelt iron and steel in large quantities.

Then mass-produce efficient and advanced agricultural tools, make fertilizers, cultivate improved seeds, promote half-agriculture and half-pastoralism, engage in large-scale planting... and other methods of improving agricultural production, setting off an agricultural revolution in the world of spiritual practice.

In addition, industries based on the steel industry also have great potential here. They can mass-produce sophisticated weapons and build them into an organized army. They can also develop the chemical industry and develop weapons of mass destruction such as gunpowder, muskets, bombs, artillery, etc., and build a powerful industrialized countries!

Then attack everywhere, crush those sect forces, and unify this plane!

The system immediately stopped this idea: "Host, this plan is not feasible. The size of this plane exceeds your imagination. Even if you give it ten thousand years, you will not be able to unify this plane."

"Also, your main task is not to conquer this plane, but to assist the system in analyzing this plane. Apart from practicing, all other methods are a waste of time."

Zhou Ming said: "Why are you wasting your time? When I eliminate those sects one by one and collect all the elixirs, spiritual stones, and superior techniques, won't it be able to speed up my cultivation?"

"Host, you underestimate the strength of those practitioners. It is not as easy as you say to destroy a sect. According to the system's estimation, the strongest attack released by the strongest person in this plane can Destroy the moon of your world."

Destroy...the moon.

Another blow?

Zhou Ming was stunned. Such a strong man could be called a humanoid self-propelled nuclear weapon.

Even more exaggerated!

This also immediately put aside most of Zhou Ming's thoughts of using industry to crush the sect in this plane.

But even so, the system still did not give up Zhou Ming's idea of ​​​​farming in this plane.

After all, the prospect is too tempting!

"On a piece of land, just with the initial soil fertility, golden wheat can be harvested 20 times in a row. The yield is quite high, and it can be grown four seasons a year..."

"Is there any land more magical than this?"

"It would be a waste not to farm here!"

Thinking of this and looking at the dark land under his feet, Zhou Ming waved the hoe in his hand more vigorously. The farming experience in countless dungeon experiences had become a special factor flowing in his blood, causing him to Every time I see the land, I feel an inexplicable kindness and joy in my heart.

Seeing the hungry and thirsty look of the host, the system had no choice but to express helplessness. Anyway, the host's disease is incurable. This is the age of cultivation, but it has to start from farming?
