Mortal Immortal Gourd

Chapter 92 Asking for Land and House (1/2)

Ji Cang found that the rebel forces of the cult were getting stronger and stronger and had a tendency to overwhelm the government.

I just want Gouzi to organize his men into an army and wipe out the rebellion.

괗Gouzi didn’t even think about it and refused directly because he didn’t want to work for the government.

He had carefully trained the 2,000 people he brought out from the last locust extermination. He was usually reluctant to kill them, and even gave a lot of good things to his men.

He had made great contributions to the entire Anchang County, but in the end he was treated as cannon fodder by the county magistrate and all of them were tricked to death.

He himself was imprisoned by the county magistrate and could not get out unless Sima Yi rescued him.

The past events are so vivid that Gouzi doesn’t want to jump into the fire pit again.

Just like that, if the government is destroyed, it is none of his business. It would be better if there is no chance.

"놖How about I write you a big IOU this time?"

Ji Cang also wanted to seduce him. Based on his understanding of Gouzi, this guy has always given up his life rather than his wealth.

"Elixirs, elixirs, spiritual stones, magic weapons, cultivation techniques, land, real estate in the state capital, and I can even recommend you to become a minor official."

Himekura listed a series of extremely tempting conditions.

To be honest, Gouzi was very excited when he heard these conditions.

Except for being an official, I really want to do everything else.

In order to get a pill last time, he went all the way around and spent a lot of money to get it.

There are also elixirs. If he wants to make elixirs in the future, he will need all kinds of elixirs, which he urgently needs.

As for the spirit stone, he has never seen the genuine one.

I have read in books that during the ancient times when cultivating immortals, the currency used for transactions between monks was spiritual stones.

But this kind of thing is a non-renewable resource. The more it is consumed, the less it produces.

Now all the spirit stone veins are in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with them.

As for the magical weapons and cultivation techniques, they are even more treasures that everyone desires.

"If you lose this opportunity, you may not be able to obtain these treasures even if you work hard for decades."

Ji Cang saw that Gouzi was starting to feel excited and continued to induce him.

"I can write you an IOU as soon as you show up, and I'll return it right away. I guarantee you won't miss a hair."

괗Gouzi was really excited this time, but he hesitated for a while and still shook his head.

"No!"

"No matter how good the thing is, it only needs the life flower."

"There are so many masters in the cult, and even the Qingzhou Army was defeated. Who do you think you are?"

Ji Cang didn't expect that Gouzi would change his temper and give up even his money for the sake of his life!

"Actually, you don't need to fight the cult army head-on. You need to destroy the small branches at the grassroots level from behind."

"Just destroy the small forces that have rebelled and become kings, and let everyone return to the fields to farm."

"Are these simple?"

괗Gouzi looked at Ji Cang with some disbelief.

Ji Cang smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's as simple as 놆. No one has ever done 놙놆."

"Because of these small rebel forces and the large number of people who are responsible for the establishment of the cult, they can continuously provide resources for the upper echelons of the cult."

"Destroy the foundation of its existence, and a cult is equivalent to water without a source or a tree without roots. It is not far from death."

"If the cult continues to develop, eventually the population of the counties and counties in Qingzhou will become the cultivation resources of the cult."

"Even if the imperial army annihilates the cult in the future, there will not be many people left alive in Qingzhou."

"So, now 놇 is not only for the imperial court, but also for the countless people in Qingzhou."

괗Hearing this, Gouzi fell into silence again.

If we follow the methods of the cults and rebels, everyone will probably die in the end, leaving only a handful of masters.

But when he jumped out now, it was definitely not as easy as Ji Cang said.

First of all, these people under him are not soldiers. Qiuyue and the others have received some simple training.

And most of them are women and children.

As for the newly recruited 2,000 people, it is true that there are more males.

But they were starved for two years and were very weak. They had never experienced decent training and did not have much combat effectiveness.

Not to mention that among these people, there is not a single master.

Are you trying to dig up the foundation of a cult so that people can't fight you?

When the time comes, the first people to die may be this group of people.

He saw many books saying that sacrificing oneself to illuminate others is a virtue.

Many sages' books teach the world that a gentleman sacrifices his life for righteousness and sacrifices his life to become a benevolent person.

But until now, Gouzi still has not understood this lofty spiritual realm.

껩Xu Sima Yi can do it.

괗Gouzi is full of respect for this kind of virtuous person, but he really cannot give up his own life to save others.

Even if he paid the price with his life, no one may remember it.

Finally, another piece of credit was added to the county prince's political achievements, and the county prince was promoted and made a fortune based on this.

Thinking that if he worked hard and worked hard, he might finally be able to benefit from the promotion and fortune of the county magistrate.

"No."

"We have just reclaimed several hundred acres of land. We are taking advantage of spring plowing to plant food."

"Otherwise, what will these thousands of people eat and drink?"

괗Gouzi no longer hesitated this time and simply rejected Ji Cang.

Sima Yi originally wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

"The autumn moon brings prosperity to the sun, and spring plowing and sowing will begin tomorrow."

"Good boss!"

There has been a severe drought for several years, and as farmers, everyone feels a little bit depressed.

Now that we have finally waited for a good spring, everyone wants to show their talents in the fields and grow a good crop.

The 50 acres of good land under Shekou Mountain was originally rented to Ah Hu, but now he is going to get promoted and make money to fight for his future.

It is said that Ah Hu and Zhang Youliang were brave and brave in the army, and they really became generals, managing hundreds of people under them, and their future is limitless.

괗Gouzi just took back the field to plant it, and asked people to plow it several times and grow seedlings, which are currently growing well.

All the 400 acres of newly reclaimed dry land were planted with beans, and after a rain, green sprouts appeared.

The newly dug 20 acres of ponds, large and small, are distributed all over the hillside to store rainwater for irrigation.

This kind of pond cannot be wasted, so Gouzi got some fish and put them in it, and he could catch some fish at the end of the year.

In addition, he quietly poured some water from the gourd into the pond, not much, which should help the crops grow better.

Unfortunately, now I can't find a cow or sheep in the whole Anchang County, otherwise I can raise some cows and sheep.

In particular, I planted hundreds of acres of beans, and the straw after harvesting beans can be used to feed sheep in the future.

Unlike the prosperous Shekou Mountain, large tracts of fertile land have been abandoned in the surrounding villages and towns.

In the past, there was no water, and many families went out to carry water to irrigate the land day and night to plant crops.

Now there is water, large tracts of land have been abandoned and overgrown with grass, but few people are willing to work hard to farm.

Less than one-third of the land in Shexi Village has been cultivated.

Zhang Youliang is now preparing for war, concentrating on conquering cities and grabbing population resources. He doesn't take care of the land that he had worked so hard to get back then.

Huang Laocai was very distressed to see so many lands abandoned, and he called it a waste.

He went to see Zhang Youliang specifically to buy some land, but he was beaten out before he even saw Zhang Youliang.

After hearing about this, Gouzi had the same idea as Huang Laocai.

The abandoned land in Shexi Village is good land, which is much better than his two barren mountains.

He has many people and little land. If he can get some land now and plant all the crops, it will be great.

In addition, five years after he was driven out of his uncle's house, he finally stepped into their doorstep again.

He always avoided them before and was unwilling to meet their family. He was a little bit unconfident.

Now he is 19 years old. With the growth of his cultivation and knowledge, he has killed many people.

He has long been a country boy who is overwhelmed by inferiority, gets nervous when talking, and blushes when there are many people.

Zhang Youliang's house has been expanded a lot, and there is a circle of walls outside.

There is a plaque on the gate with three big characters "Liangwang Palace" written on it, which looks very impressive.

Two strong men, holding long spears, stood crookedly at the gate. When they saw Er Gouzi coming, they immediately straightened their backs.

"Stop!"

Er Gouzi saw that they were still acquaintances. These two people were tenants in the village, not much different from him.

When they were young, they went up the mountain to chop wood, went into the water to catch fish, and dug wild vegetables in the fields together.

"Goudan, Waizui, it turns out that it's you two. I'm going in to talk to Zhang Youliang about something."

Seeing his childhood playmates, Er Gouzi said casually.

Unexpectedly, the two men puffed out their chests and raised their heads, pretending to know each other.

"How dare you? You can call the name of King Liang casually?"

"We are now the generals of the throne of King Liang, General Li Goudan and General Chen Waizui!"

Seeing that the two men were very serious and had high airs, Er Gouzi also lost his patience.

"Will you give way?"

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Give way!"

"Okay!"

Er Gouzi suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the necks of the two men, and the two men immediately fainted on the ground.

Walking into the gate, I found that there were many more houses inside the wall.

A few strong men rushed out of the room with swords in hand, blocking Er Gouzi's way.

There are many acquaintances here, who know the relationship and grievances between Er Gouzi and Zhang Youliang, and also know Zhang Xiucai's affairs.

At this time, they only blocked the way and dared not to take action.

Er Gouzi looked calm, and did not even pull out the door sword behind him.

"I'm looking for Zhang Youliang, let him come to see me."

"How dare you call me by my name!"

"You are insulting me!"

These people just shouted loudly, and the collision of weapons made some noise, but they still took action.

"Stop!"

Finally, someone came into the room, and these strong men breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Gouzi, why are you here?"

The person who came was Xiao Ezi.

In the past two days, Xiao Ezi has grown a lot taller and is about to become a big girl.

However, she used to have some baby fat, but now she has become very thin, looking pale and skinny, not much better than those refugees.

"Xiao Ezi, I want to talk to your brother about something."

"Okay, let's go in first."

With Xiao Ezi leading the way, naturally no one dared to block the way, and the two walked into a living room.

Then Xiao Ezi went into the inner room and fiddled for a long time before bringing a cup of tea with two yellow leaves floating in it and a small plate of a few fried beans.

"There's nothing to eat now, so just make do with it."

Xiao Ezi smiled a little awkwardly.

"Is your brother the king? Why doesn't he have food to eat yet?"

Er Gouzi looked at the tea and beans on the table, and then looked at Xiao Ezi's complexion.

I didn't expect that Zhang Youliang would become the king, but his family lived in such poverty, and his own sister was starved like this.

"There used to be some food stored at home, but there has been no harvest in the past few days, and there are so many people, there are no grains left."

"I will eat the meat they eat."

"I still have some food stored there. If you are used to the food here, come to Shexiao Mountain for dinner in the future."

Er Gouzi naturally had no pressure to raise another Zhang Xiao, so he simply invited her to Shexiao Mountain for dinner.

"This... this is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Xiao Ezi grew up and began to feel a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I have 3,000 people there, and I don't need your food."

"Okay, thank you, brother Gouzi!"

At this time, Zhang Youliang and his brother walked in.

"Oh, what a rare guest!"

After Zhang Youxin said this with a fake smile, he looked at Er Gouzi.

Zhang Youliang remained silent, staring at Er Gouzi as if he was facing a great enemy.

Er Gouzi looked at the two and was also a little surprised. The two had improved their cultivation so quickly in such a short time.

Zhang Youliang had reached the fourth level of Qi training, and Zhang Youxin had also cultivated to the second level of Qi training.

"Since you are here, we brothers are also petty people. How about joining my eldest brother and letting you become a general?"

"Not interested."

Er Gouzi refused directly. If he wanted to rebel, it would not be their turn.

He could completely raise the banner of rebellion and call himself the King of Snake Mountain, or the King of Flying Goose.

"I came to you today because I saw that your fields were all barren, which was a pity, so I wanted to buy some land from you."

"So you are here to ask for land. In today's world of heroes, you are still thinking about that one mu and three mu of land."

Zhang Youxin was very disgusted with Er Gouzi's small-peasant mentality, who dared not even rebel and could only farm.

"Then will you sell it?"

"Yes, I will sell it to you even if it is barren and overgrown with grass."

Zhang Youxin answered very straightforwardly. Even if it is abandoned and there is no harvest, it can still be sold at a low price to Er Gouzi.

"I will exchange one catty of meat for your 10 mu of land. Don't force me to rob it."

As Er Gouzi said this, he took a piece of cooked donkey meat, tore off a large piece with his hands, and handed it to Xiao Ezi.

"Xiao Ezi, have some donkey meat."

"Thank you, Brother Gouzi."

Xiao Ezi took the donkey meat and took a big bite. It was full of fragrance. I haven't eaten such delicious meat for a long time.

Zhang Youxin quietly swallowed a glass of water, without saying anything, and looked at Zhang Youliang.

"Are you sure you want to exchange one pound of meat for 10 acres of land?"

Zhang Youliang confirmed it.

"Yes, exchange it?"

"Exchange! There are more than 600 acres of land in Shexi Village, all of which will be exchanged for you."

This time Zhang Youliang agreed very straightforwardly.

He has been fighting and destroying several villages in succession, and the land of these villages and towns has also been seized.

He has a lot of land in his hands, but he is seriously short of manpower to farm the land, and how much he can farm.

Most of the original people are gone, and now there are more land than people.

Moreover, people are now unsettled, and few people are willing to stay in the fields to farm. It would be better to wait for others to finish farming and then directly rob them.

After the two agreed, they signed a contract on the spot.

Then the next day, the two sides demarcated the land boundaries, and Er Gouzi gave Zhang Youliang 60 kilograms of donkey meat.

Zhang Youliang was also very ruthless this time, even the land where crops were planted and seedlings were just sprouting was exchanged for Er Gouzi.

It was only in this chaos that everyone died, and he could use 60 kilograms of donkey meat to exchange for more than 600 acres of land.

If it were in peace, land is the lifeblood of people, and his 60 kilograms of donkey meat would be exchanged even if it was with spiritual energy.

Donkey meat is eaten for a few meals and then it will be gone, but land can always be cultivated and produce food.

Including these 600 acres of good land, he already has 1,000 acres of land.

These 600 mu of land alone can produce 2,400 dan of grain each day, plus the newly reclaimed land, they can finally feed the 3,000 people under his command.
