Mystery Makes Me Strong

That's right.

In fact, Daqian these days is still a time when the land is vast and the people are sparse.

Because their territory is too vast.

The main reason is the existence of monsters.

Monsters will automatically eliminate a certain amount of the population.

Land is not valuable.

Only safe land, land that can stably produce food and support the population is valuable.

So there is also a talk about housing prices here.

Moreover, the house price is far higher than that of Dongzhou and Daxia where Wen Rensheng is located.

Because Beijing is the safest.

Let’s put it this way, 99% of Beijing residents do not own their own house.

My ancestors have been renting houses since they were born.

Wages, bounties, windfalls, all turned into rent.

Want to buy a house?

Unless you have a practitioner in your family, you must be at the foundation building stage or above.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep it even after you buy it.

Just like a poor man cannot protect his beautiful wife and daughter.

During the foundation building period, 20 square meters can be saved.

Golden elixir 100 square meters.

Yuanying can have a villa.

There is a building for the Transformation God.

After returning to the void level, you will feel freer.

This is because the ancestors of the Mahayana period are stationed in the capital.

No one can break this rule.

All houses, fundamentally speaking, belong to the ancestors.

It’s just that the ancestor is too lazy to care, so the people below have the right to use it.

Room bones, room skin.

If the ancestor leaves one day, then the house will immediately become garbage and waste, and no one will take a second look.

But the ancestor has been there for countless thousands of years.

So housing prices have always been very high.

Countless people want to move in every year.

Countless people had to quit.

Because practitioners will die of old age.

If there are no cultivators in the family and they cannot earn enough spiritual stones, they will move away.

The so-called spirit stone is actually a luck stone.

Those who are not capable enough will naturally be diverted to other places.

And [Wang Weiguo] relied on his Nascent Soul cultivation to open up a relatively safe place to live in a county near the capital.

His rent is not high, only 30%.

For other residential areas developed by Yuanying, the land rent near them is relatively speaking, 60% or even 70% is paid.

Because we rely on the ancestors of the Mahayana stage, the demons that come will not be too powerful.

That is, below Nascent Soul.

If you transform into a god or demon, you will be noticed by the ancestor. As long as you notice it, you will die.

Just like people, people can't tolerate mosquitoes, but they can tolerate bacteria crawling on their bodies.

Nascent Souls like Wang Weiguo and others are sterilized Penicillium and the like, which can provide a safe place.

These places are safer, so land rents are higher.

Anyway, as long as there are still people renting land, it will not decrease.

It will only go down unless no one rents it.

In dangerous places, land rents are lower.

For example, the golden elixir, foundation building stage, and even the places opened up by Qi refining are as low as 10 to 20 percent.

Even the land opened up for Qi Refining was given away for free.

Every year, we go to big cities to recruit refugees who really can't survive, and give them land, cattle, and seeds, and you can cultivate whatever you want.

Why is the land given away for free?

The free gift is for you to go to his place to reclaim wasteland and then collect taxes from you after more than ten years.

All you have to do is pay the taxes.

sounds good.

The question is, how many people can persist for more than ten years?

After a demonic riot, all the refining energy was gone, let alone a mortal.

It's too dangerous there.

After you go, only 5 of the 10 people may be left in a few years.

Therefore, after solving the water source problem, [Wang Weiguo] needs to solve another major problem if he wants to change the Daqian problem.

That's a security issue.

One is water source and the other is security. After these two issues are resolved, the next step involves food distribution.

He now relies on himself to protect the people.

But how many can he protect?

The other Nascent Souls would not listen to him.

The other party will only collect food at the upper limit of what the people can tolerate.

Because the food received actually contains luck.

Therefore, if we want to really solve people's problems, we must allow people to take charge of their own security.

In other words, lower the safety threshold.

When it comes to security issues, [Wang Weiguo] thought about it for a while, but there was really no way.

Then he went to ask the ancestors of the Holy Land.

The Holy Land Ancestor told him that if he wanted to be safe, there were actually two ways.

"One is to set up a formation, and you circle all the people, all the people."

"Circle it with a formation."

"For example, the capital city is a big formation, and the eye of the formation is the Mahayana ancestor."

"And the luck of all the people in the capital will be collected by the formation."

"All the people's luck for survival and reproduction will be absorbed by the formation."

"Most of the offerings are given to the Mahayana ancestor, which is also the root of the ancestor's immobility."

"If you save a small amount and accumulate it over many years, once danger comes, this luck will burst out from time to time, which can suppress natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"It can be said that these powers of luck are enough to suppress most disasters."

"With enough luck, even great demons and great monks have to stay away."

"Because of the words of the great monk, they are paid attention to by Heaven anytime and anywhere."

"If they forcefully fight against these fortunes, even Mahayana monks will be targeted by heaven."

"As for the Mahayana monks who stay below, they need to avoid being targeted by heaven, and they have to be a dog that is let go."

What the Holy Land Ancestor said shocked [Wang Weiguo].

It seems that the ancestors and the Mahayana monks also have great conflicts.

"The second one is that you are strong enough to protect the law with the law."

"You can use one point of luck to form a very strong deterrent. Compared with the former, it is much more economical."

"Just focus on the attacking spell."

"This can deter others. Of course, if you encounter those lunatics and demons, you must be prepared to die together, so there are very few monks who do this."

"Although it is cost-effective, it is too dangerous."

"Most people still focus on practicing defense, escape, and concealment spells, and only one or two are used for attack."

[Wang Weiguo] nodded.

The other person is right.

That's right.

It makes sense.

After thinking about it, [Wang Weiguo] felt that this formation must be reformed.

Try to make the formation cheaper.

It would be great if luck could circulate.

Through borrowing and luck, the money that cannot be used up by big cities can be transferred to small cities.

In this way, dynamic security can be formed!

This is modern defense theory.

I can't completely defend the enemy from the outside.

But I keep my mobile unit inside.

Only a small number of reconnaissance troops are placed on the border.

In this way, the enemy can break through. If he breaks through, I will mobilize mobile troops to destroy you.

So depth is very important.

Air defense is even more important.

Without air defense, you have no depth, and the opponent will hit the center at once.

Your mobile unit is useless.

Thinking of this, [Wang Weiguo] had to be grateful that he still knew some military knowledge.

We will not make the mistake of 150,000 cavalry attacking on a small road and 70,000 cavalry stationed in towns.

So he retreated to study.

A group of people were also gathered to study.

They finally came up with a channel formation.

It is able to absorb the luck of these people every day, and then automatically form a long-term channel that can circulate the luck in different city formations.

In this way, an advantage of concentrated force is achieved.

Once a demon appears, Qi Yun can be quickly mobilized to suppress it.

In this way, the maximum land and maximum population limit of each city are actually the sum of the charm of several cities, not a single city.

[Wang Weiguo] After doing this, the Holy Land Ancestor was very happy.

He was specially rewarded with a scapegoat.

In times of crisis, it can replace a death.

It can be seen that the ancestors of the Holy Land still hope that Daqian can reform, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the practitioners can make progress.

It is not the same as those practitioners who are decadent and seeking immortality.

It's just that the ancestor himself is also slack. He is similar to someone who can talk big and is ideal enough, but he just doesn't want to move or work.

He can be very upright, appreciate upright people, and praise kind people, but if you want him to do good deeds personally and work hard to save people from disaster, then forget it...

The ancestor is just the king of words.

[Wang Weiguo] has already seen this.

So he understood why the ancestors of the Mahayana period did not kill the ancestors of the Holy Land.

Because this person poses no threat and can maintain a little bit of the practitioner's vitality, which is a waste.

As a result, I will have no resistance or hope when facing the monsters from outside the world in the future.

This is also the difference between cultivators and ordinary feudal rulers.

The former's wisdom is high enough and his vision is far enough. Even if he is bad, it is a high-level bad.

He will not commit the shocking shame of Jingkang.

That's a bunch of mentally retarded people.

The death of a cultivator is when he chooses to die after calculating everything clearly.

Ordinary feudal rulers are confused, lazy and cowardly, driven completely by the weaknesses of human nature and the shortcomings of the system.

I simply don’t understand what is really good for me.

Just like the Second Emperor Jingkang, he was deceived by his ministers and took the initiative to negotiate in the enemy's camp, trusting his life and death on the enemy's sincerity.

As a result, he was captured and used to destroy the city.

It is simply the most bizarre thing in ancient and modern times.

I really can’t tell where I stand.

After developing this formation channel, for a while, Daqian really showed signs of prosperity.

As long as too powerful monsters don't come, most of the cities and towns that have formed the Qiyun Channel Alliance will be safe.

As a result ground rents fell rapidly.

But it only got better for a while.

A few years later, those lands were quickly annexed, and the local cultivators and ordinary dignitaries once again united to impose exorbitant taxes on the land, until the common people were left with only food rations...

It's so outrageous.

[Wang Weiguo] is almost furious.

"You will die if you take one less bite, right?"

"If you take 10% less, you will starve to death, right?"

After he was angry, he calmed down again.

In fact, this is caused by the law.

The law of involution.

If you don't roll, someone else will roll. If someone rolls to the extreme, is stronger than you, and has a higher level of cultivation than you, you will be eliminated.

So people who understand this take the initiative to participate.

Those who couldn't understand it were swept away.

[Wang Weiguo] can only continue to work.

After the water pumping problem was solved, the people at least had more food.

After all, as the total number goes up, people have more room to move around.

Paying 90% for one acre of land, if the total output is five dan, it will definitely be much better than the total output of only one dan.

And people can also find ways to conceal production.

After all, the higher the total number, the easier it is to hide it.

The total number is low, and you can tell how much is produced at a glance.

Grain, beans, sweet potatoes, oil, salt are stored in various cellars, in the mountains, under the forest, and at the mouth of wells...

As a result, he was called cunning by the landlords.

One by one, they pay very high land rents to recruit people, and slowly recruit people at a decreasing rate.

Just get stuck at the highest point.

So with the issues of pumping and safety solved, what remains is the issue of distribution.

It is also the most critical question.

[Wang Weiguo] knows that this is the real challenge.

Farmers are really suffering now.

Two great inventions he worked hard on.

Ninety-nine percent of the results obtained by adding electric water pumps to the Qiyun Channel were taken away by practitioners and powerful landlords.

If you want to distribute it to the people, you must challenge these people.

[Wang Weiguo] Looking through history, I only know that there is only one place where a head-on challenge was successful.

Other places rely on money and business models to get things done in a roundabout way.

What does it mean to get it done in a roundabout way?

Just let go completely.

If you want to annex, just annex.

The people are all ruined.

No more farming.

I went to the city to find work.

There is no way for landowners to automatically evolve into mechanized farmers.

The prerequisite for this is that commerce is highly developed and handicrafts and industry are sufficiently developed.

There are enough light industrial products to exchange for enough grain and other agricultural production raw materials from landlords.

It can make landowners willing to exchange grain for it.

Therefore, modern society has countless products and is stable.

The most extreme one is one landlord in the world.

He has all the food.

To get food out of him, what do you have to produce?

Cloth clothing, medicines, high-end food, entertainment and luxury goods, accommodation, decoration...

Lots and lots of them.

The more stuff, the better.

In this case, the other party will definitely be willing to exchange food for these enjoyments.

What should I do if someone says he just won’t exchange?

If there is no exchange, it depends on the strength of both parties.

Virtually any modern power has a method of forced acquisition.

Now under the rule of [Wang Weiguo], the farmers are doing better for the time being.

Because many people have just been allocated their land.

I still have the deed for the land allotment on hand.

But [Wang Weiguo] knows that these lands will be gone soon.

How can ordinary people compete for land with the powerful and cultivators?

The most critical distribution issue must be resolved.

Therefore [Wang Weiguo] still has to push farmers to enter the industrial society.

Are you willing to merge?

We don’t plant any more.

But without planting, you have to ensure a food supply to have the prerequisites for industrialization.

Without food, blind industrialization will only lead to famine.

With enough food, no matter how blind industrialization is, it can support the bottom line and maintain minimum rations, and the people can stabilize and survive various economic crises.

Wang Weiguo knew how much trouble a lack of food would cause.

So he began to discuss with senior people and Cheng Lan.

"I think it is better to ensure that we have enough food in our hands. In this case, we use our own land and unlimited energy to produce large quantities of food. Based on this, we will vigorously recruit farmers as workers and maintain minimum wages at the beginning. That is food provision.”

"Complete the new economic cycle." Cheng Lan said.

"Well, yes, I think so too." Fang Guang copied it directly.

"Me too."

So the three of them made a decision.

They began to collectively cultivate the land again.

In fact, they already own quite a bit of land.

But for planning, it's not nearly enough.

At least one-tenth of the total land is needed.
