Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76 Harvest Banquet
Not sure if it was stimulated by his psychological activity, the system's voice suddenly rang.

"If the host feels that the current system materials are not rich enough, he can spend 500 points to upgrade the system to level 3. The level 3 system will add more than ten redeemable items. However, the system reminds the host that most of the host's current points are obtained by improving attributes. However, the attributes of the host and others have reached a high level. This method of obtaining points will become more and more difficult in the future. If you find that you don't have enough points to spend later, don't complain."

"Uh..." Liu He was speechless. "System, your voice is cold, but it seems that you have a bad temper. Are you really just a system? I always suspect there is something fishy going on."

But it was obvious that the system was not going to answer his question.

"Okay, let's upgrade. I don't believe it will be that difficult to earn points in the future. Not to mention the mission rewards, even if it's just attribute upgrades, I still have new people joining me constantly. What's there to be afraid of?"

After saying that, he was about to exit the redemption interface and start upgrading the system, but at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a message in the task interface.

"Achieve three military victories: 80 points of bonus points, and the host's commander-in-chief is promoted by 1 point. Current completion status: 1 victory, 2 more to go."

Liu He quickly called the system out and asked, "System boss, that's not right. I have won the war many times. I have wiped out so many strongholds. How come it only counts as one victory for me?"

"Reply to the host. This mission counts the victory of the war, not the victory of a single battle. The host's extermination of the bandits is considered a combat plan according to the host's prior plan, so it can only be counted once."

Liu He was dumbfounded when he heard this. He really wanted to compete with the system in this "nitpicking" skill, but after thinking about it, he thought that he would be the one to admit defeat in the end.

"Alright, alright, there's nothing I can do. You're the boss after all, so I'll just do it once. Well, there's no problem. Let's upgrade quickly. I'm still waiting for the day when I can spend my points lavishly, haha."

"Received the instruction, consuming 500 points, the system is upgrading, and will be completed in three days!"

The next morning, Liu He handed the "Atlas of the Production and Improvement of Various Agricultural Tools" to Liu Qian. After Liu Qian took a quick look at it, he was pleasantly surprised. Without saying a word, he took the atlas to find Zhang Tong and the two pavilion chiefs.

Afterwards, Liu He called the three blacksmiths out of the militia and told them to return to their old jobs and make weapons and armor specifically for the militia, and he would buy them from them at normal market prices.

The three blacksmiths were named Pu De, also known as Liang Gong, Fang Yang, also known as Yuan Zhen, and Xiao Yuan, also known as Dai Lin. Pu De was the oldest, nearly 40 years old, while the other two were both around 30 years old.

At first, the three were reluctant and insisted on joining the army to protect the country and the people.

But when Liu He took out two volumes of "Detailed Illustrated Book of Metal Smelting Technology", the three of them just took a few glances and couldn't let go of them. They were almost fascinated and immediately agreed to Liu He's request, but insisted on not accepting money. After some bargaining, plus they really needed to make a living, and after being obsessed with this book they would not have much time to take care of the fields, so they finally agreed to make weapons and sell them to the militia at 80% off the market price.

However, Liu He also specifically explained that from now on the three of them would belong exclusively to the militia team and could no longer use this technology to make weapons for others. Otherwise, if they learned his technology and served others, and let others use the magic weapons to deal with them, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
After hearing this, the three men knelt down without hesitation and swore an oath by their ancestors and families. This made Liu He feel a little embarrassed, but it also made him completely reassured about the character of these three people.

Soon after, Liu Qian and others made some currently used equipment according to the diagram, such as water wheels for irrigation, improved plows, harrows for fast sowing, windmills for grain shelling, etc. The effect was excellent and soon became popular throughout the township, and everyone's efficiency in farm work was indeed much higher.

When the harvest came that year, the yield increased slightly, and it was considered a bumper harvest. Many villagers were so excited that they took various gifts to Liu He's home to express their gratitude, but they were all declined by the father and son. In a blink of an eye, it was August 11 again, and tomorrow would be Liu He's sixteenth birthday.

Since Liu He now has a very high prestige, many villagers even regard him as a god from heaven. In addition, there was a good harvest in the first half of this year, so everyone is clamoring to hold a grand ceremony for Liu He.

Of course, the term "big celebration" only applies to these ordinary farmers who hardly know what a birthday is. It is nothing more than everyone getting together to eat and drink. It is definitely not the same as the birthday celebrations of the disciples of real big families.

Liu He originally did not want to waste this energy, but it was hard to go against the public opinion, so Guan Yu and others also joined in the fun. In addition, Chief Qian Ting said that this was also to celebrate the bumper harvest in the first half of this year. Everyone had more grain in their rice jars, so each family took out some and took this opportunity to celebrate, and also to wish for a smooth autumn harvest in the second half of the year. Only then did Liu He agree.

As a result, many villagers happily went home to get food and gathered it together. On the next day, many village women began to wash and prepare for the banquet.

This was not the first time that the whole village had such a banquet. Everyone had experience, so the preparation was much faster than before. By the time of Shen on the same day, table after table of delicious dishes were ready, which made people from the surrounding villages extremely envious. Many people who had been reluctant to leave their homeland due to various restrictions also began to consider whether they should find a way to move to Huangshui Township and settle down.

By the time night gradually fell and the sky began to darken, everyone had already finished three rounds of wine and five dishes.

The main type of wine consumed in those days was turbid liquor, and sake was extremely expensive, and only the wealthy and aristocratic could afford it. Even in the Tang Dynasty, there was Li Bai's line "A cup of clear wine in a golden cup costs ten thousand coins, and a jade plate of delicacies costs ten thousand coins" to prove the high price of sake.

Sake is new wine, that is, wine that has just been brewed. However, although Huangshui Township has had a good harvest in the past two years and there have been no robbers, there is not much grain available for making wine, so they only brew a little. People are reluctant to drink it at normal times, and when they drink it at such celebrations, it naturally becomes turbid wine.

Originally, several adults wanted to toast Liu He, but the turbid wine had a sour taste and Liu He really couldn't get used to it, so he said that he was still young and couldn't drink. Naturally, everyone turned their attention to Liu Qian.

As the saying goes, after three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, once people are slightly tipsy, they tend to say anything.

The three pavilion chiefs and Liu He and others were sitting at the same table. Pavilion Chief Lu said to Liu Qian beside him: "Brother Liu, your son is a young talent. He will definitely achieve great success in the future. However, no matter how great his achievements are, even if he is awarded a title of nobility or a general in the future, there is one thing that must be considered!"

Liu He was a little confused after hearing this and looked at this Chief Lu.

However, he was confused, but Liu Qian and Chief Qian quickly understood what was going on.

"Yes, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. My nephew is already sixteen years old, and it's time for him to marry a girl from a good family so that he can have children and spread his family sooner. Maybe he can give birth to an even more powerful grandson for your Liu family, which will be a blessing for all the people in the world!"

There are two characters proposed by book friends, and they are assigned to the three blacksmiths. However, the three will not be soy sauce, they will appear one after another later, and their role in the protagonist is unquestionable. However, due to some special plot reasons, I arranged Pu De as the head of the three blacksmiths, which is not the name proposed by the two book friends, please forgive me!
