"How is it? Junior Brother Zhang, am I right?"
The next day, Zhang Changkong came to see Cheng Lianyue again, and Cheng Lianyue spoke immediately when they met.
Zhang Changkong nodded, then shook his head, "You are right, but it will take more than ten or twenty years for this kind of thing to see benefits, and I can't wait that long."
Zhang Changkong felt that if he had that time, it would be more beneficial to let his subordinates study how to contract more insects.
Cheng Lianyue smiled and said: "Our Xiangshan Sect does not have a family of immortal cultivators, but there are many families of warriors. Just imagine, Junior Brother Zhang, if you find a resource point such as a mineral vein in the future, will you let a large group of ordinary people guard it?"
Hearing what Cheng Lianyue said, Zhang Changkong hesitated a little, thinking about what he was going to do next, this was really a possibility.
After three years in Miaoshan, due to the high "crime rate" of the West Lihe Defense Line, the number of people has reached more than 50,000. The land around the original Miaoshan has been used by them to grow food or medicinal herbs, as if from A small cottage village has evolved into a small town.
However, there are very few warriors. There are more than 100 escorts, more than 200 insect catching teams, and some doing other things, but the total number will not exceed 500 people.
A strongman also needs qualifications. If ordinary people in Miao Mountain are allowed to practice strongman, there is a high probability that the number of strongmen will increase by 200 to 300, not to mention 500 in 20 to 30 years.
Zhang Changkong thought that what he was going to do next would not be completed in a year and a half, unless the Xiangshan Sect recalled him to the sect, but the probability was so small that it could be ignored. In the Xiangshan Sect, he had no connections and no friends. Who will speak for him.
"Okay, you give me a set of training methods for warriors, and I will give you the jade talisman."
Zhang Changkong felt that although it took time to cultivate strong men, jade talismans were useless to him. Unless most of his insects died in the near future and could not be replaced, it would be safe to leave the battle to the insects.
Zhang Changkong took the few books Cheng Lianyue gave him and left without saying a word.
He didn't even think about whether there were errors or omissions in these contents or whether the prescriptions were accurate. After all, these were not what he was going to use. If something went wrong in the future, Zhang Changkong would definitely let Cheng Lianyue know the price of fooling him when he had the strength.
Zhang Changkong glanced at the door of the central hall and shook his head. He originally thought that he was going to experience a big battle, but now that it was like this, Zhang Changkong was not sure whether he was disappointed or relieved.
Central hall.
Yan Qingyu waited for Zhang Changkong to leave for a long time before speaking: "Senior Sister Cheng, why don't you let him return to Wanzhu Peak as a condition, so that you can get the talisman without paying anything, and this is for you It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
Cheng Lianyue shook his head and said: "Indeed, it is easy for me to transfer him back to Wanzhu Peak, but why should I do this? This sky is unruly and has no respect for me, but his talent is It's extraordinary. In a place like Sanhe Rainforest, where vitality is thin and resources are scarce, he can reach the middle stage of Warlock in a few years. How about letting him return to Wanzhu Peak? With his talent, I can't even reach the late stage of Warlock in twenty or thirty years. Not surprising, do you want him to show off his power over you?"
"Senior Sister Cheng is right. Zhang Changkong is selfish. I heard that he often forced others to collect insect eggs for him in Xili River. Moreover, many people in Xili River station died from insects under his hands. Even more so during battles. He likes to use others as bait. Let me ask such a person, why should he return to Wanzhu Peak? It is better to let him hang out here. "
Chen Jie greatly agreed with Cheng Lianyue's approach.
Yan Qingyu couldn't help but shook her head when she thought about Zhang Changkong's usual behavior. It was a pity that he had good talent, but he didn't know how to behave.
"Well, by the way, after you go back, remember not to tell anyone about Zhang Changkong's promotion to the middle stage of Warlock."
Cheng Lianyue suddenly said again.
"Why?"
Chen Jie and Yan Qingyu were both a little puzzled. This was not a big deal. The Warlock was in the middle stage, not the late stage. There were still many people in the Xiangshan Sect who were at this stage.
"If news of his extraordinary qualifications spreads back, it will inevitably get into the eyes of some people, and maybe something will happen."
Chen Jie nodded and said, "Yes, reputation can sometimes be a help. It's better to let him remain unknown."
Chen Jie is now full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Zhang Changkong. In short, he will actively participate in anything that is not beneficial to Zhang Changkong.
Cheng Lianyue discussed some things with them and asked them to prepare and return to Wanzhu Peak tomorrow.
Zhang Changkong returned to Xilihe Station, where Wan Gong was waiting.
"How's it going? How did you do what I asked you to do?"
"Returning to Master Immortal, there is no problem in taking over the supplies removed from the defense line. After all, according to normal circumstances, the interval between insect waves is still long, so the manager in charge of the supplies agreed."
"Just, there's a problem."
Wan Gong glanced at Zhang Changkong and said in embarrassment: "We don't have much money, and we can't even get one-tenth or even one percent of the materials piled up in the Xilihe Station."
There is no way. The people in Miaoshan are all "sinners" and joined Miaoshan naked. Miaoshan itself does not have much income. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are poor.
Um?
Hearing Wan Gong's words, Zhang Changkong didn't react for a moment.
"Is there nothing on Miao Mountain that can be sold for money?"
Wan Gong said sheepishly: "The most common thing raised on Miao Mountain is bugs. There are more than five kinds of edible bugs that can be cultivated on a large scale. However, except for some people on Miao Mountain, few people in Rainstorm City can accept bugs as food. As for Herbal medicines are generally used for feeding insects and research consumption, and there is some surplus food, but because of the private ownership of property implemented by Master Immortal, there is not much food in the cottage warehouse."
"Let's go ahead and ask the manager responsible for managing the supplies not to transport the supplies back to Rainstorm City first. We don't have money now, but that doesn't mean we won't have any in the future. If we withdraw some of the supplies in advance, just say it will be recorded in my account. Thinking about it, I still have money. So little face."
If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful.
Zhang Changkong felt that lack of money was not a problem. With his strength, he still had some respect in the Sanhe Rainforest. He thought that coming to the City Lord's Mansion to see his performance during the insect wave would not question his empty promise.
"Also, how are the preparations on Miao Mountain going?"
Zhang Changkong asked.
"It will take a few more days, and it will also take some time to mobilize manpower and transport food and other supplies."
"Three days, I'll give you three days to get ready, and we'll officially set off in three days."
"Now is the best time to develop the Three Rivers Rainforest. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have this opportunity in the future."
That's right, Zhang Changkong finally decided to officially develop a small area on the outskirts of the Sanhe Rainforest...
There are several reasons for this.
