It wasn't until Lu Jing showed off his lush green hands that Wu Han believed that the former didn't buy the goods from him in the name of farming and then resell them to make a profit.
But then, Wu Han fell into a new confusion. Could it be that the lushness he had practiced for more than ten years had actually been practiced wrong? Otherwise, why was there such a big difference in the entry speed between the two sides?
Lu Jing can now grow five ginseng plants at a time, while Wu Han himself can barely grow seven plants, and Wu Han asks himself that he can't grow two thousand ginseng plants at the same time.
Even if each plant casts the spell once a day, he would have to cast Lush nearly three hundred times.
What is the concept of three hundred times lush? Wu Han is now a monk of the Two Palaces, but if he were to release Lush and Green two hundred times in a row, he would be basically hollowed out, and he would be in a state where not even a drop of his body was left.
Not to mention that it would take a lot of time to recover the secret power afterwards. It was impossible to maintain such intensity every day.
Wu Han didn't really believe that anyone could do it. Those monks from the Fourth and Fifth Palaces might be able to do it, but they probably wouldn't be free enough to use their secret power to grow vegetables all the time.
So after thinking about it, Wu Han only came to the conclusion that Lu Jing should have a helper, and after asking Lu Jing, he also got the latter's confirmation.
"Help? Oh, I do have ideas in this regard." Lu Ding nodded.
He was reaping the consequences. Thanks to his extremely rough planting methods, the difficulties he faced during harvesting were several times that of ordinary people.
Looking up, the medicinal field was full of wildly swollen weeds. Even with Lu Jing's eyesight, it would take some effort to find ginseng among them. Moreover, this was just the beginning of harvesting. Most of the ginseng is harvested, and the rest is really for everyone to find fault with.
Lu Jing had neither the patience nor the time, and he also had money in his hands, so he naturally considered outsourcing this troublesome matter to others.
As the saying goes, division of labor brings efficiency.
Wu Han on the other side had a headache now. He hesitated and decided to tell Lu Jing the truth, "I didn't expect you...well, to be so good at planting. Although I have a lot of seeds on hand, I still... Mainly vegetables and crops.
"Although I occasionally plant things like ginseng, I usually only plant a few dozen plants. No matter how many, I can't take care of them myself. So I really don't save too many seeds. I only have about seven. Eight thousand pills. You have already taken five hundred pills before, and now you are asking for two thousand more before you open your mouth in a month and a half.
"It's like directly taking out one-third of my family fortune. Let's forget it this time. I can grit my teeth and give it to you, but if you come back to ask for it later, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get it out again."
Lu Jing thought for a moment, "Then give me an extra hundred grains. I'll use them specifically for breeding, and I won't bother you anymore, Uncle Wu."
Wu Han was stunned again when he heard this. Seeing Lu Jing's behavior, he clearly planned to continue growing ginseng as a business. Although Wu Han didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't help but admonish him.
"You have finally embarked on the road of spiritual practice. You started later than others. At this time, you should catch up, practice hard, and use your energy on the right path instead of thinking about how to use your secret power to make money. , after all, money is something external to the body, and if you delay your homework because of this, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain."
Lu Jing knew that Wu Han was also thinking about him, so he agreed without arguing with the other party.
Of course, he still has to grow ginseng.
Everyone's situation is different, but money is still very important to Lu Jing. He makes money not only to repay the huge sum of money he owes Chi, but also to purchase various medicinal materials for subsequent alchemy.
However, Lu Jing did have the idea of cultivating something more. He had already reached a bottleneck with Lush Cong Chong. From now on, he could only rely on time to slowly improve it, and it would be difficult to achieve any breakthroughs in a short period of time.
And the secret power in his Niwan Palace is still increasing. Fortunately, according to Hanshanke, the poisonous elixirs Lu Jingguan wants can be produced in the next three to five days if he is quick.
If it is really effective, then Lu Jing can practice with peace of mind.
But before that, Lu Jing still had a lot of things to do.
He quickly opened up two larger new medicine fields, well, three to be exact, and a small area that Lu Jing planned to use for breeding.
After realizing the value of ginseng, Lu Jing also set up two relatively basic illusion arrays like cats and tigers, mainly used to confuse the beasts in the mountains. As for other academy disciples, generally they would not wander in after seeing the illusion array.
Lu Jing thought for a while and arrived outside Wen Xiaochuan's courtyard.
He had dealt with Wen Xiaochuan twice before and knew that this woman was not a light-hearted person, but she had the most contacts in the entire academy. If Lu Jing wanted to hire someone for help, it would be most convenient for him to find her.
As for Wen Xiaochuan, it was the same day as usual. He had just gotten up at three o'clock in the morning. After washing up, he opened the courtyard door after hearing a knock on the door and saw Lu Jing standing outside. His eyes immediately lit up.
But when she heard Lu Jing's purpose, she froze again.
"What, dig ginseng?"
Wen Xiaochuan wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Master Lu, are you planning to find someone to join forces to dig ginseng in the North through the [well]?"
"No, I planted some ginseng in the academy and asked others to dig it," Lu Jing said.
"You planted... ginseng?"
Hearing what Lu Jing said, Wen Xiaochuan vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned to her that he was farming. However, Wen Xiaochuan didn't expect that Lu Jing actually did what he said, and what he planted was ginseng.
But since he grew this ginseng himself, it should be easy to dig it up.
Wen Xiaochuan asked curiously, "How many ginseng have you planted?"
"It's hard to say. I haven't counted them in detail. It should be around a hundred." Lu Jing said vaguely. He couldn't count them in detail. He just couldn't count them in detail.
"If we have one hundred plants, we should be able to dig them all in one day." Wen Xiaochuan thought for a moment.
"It won't be finished." Lu Jing shook his head, "You can calculate it in three days, it may take five days. I still have a hundred Polygonum multiflorum plants to dig. If we cooperate well, there will be other jobs in the future. Can you help me find someone?”
If you are outside, it is actually quite convenient to hire people. The work Lu Jing wants people to do is not difficult. You only need to find one or two farmers to do it. However, it is too much to ripen ginseng in fields outside. It’s shocking, and if it reaches the ears of pharmacies and buyers.
His ginseng might be labeled as fake, and it would be too troublesome to go both ways, so Lu Jing gave up the idea of farming outside.
But the academy also has its own difficulties. Outsiders cannot enter here, and many of the people who study here are children of aristocratic families. It is definitely impossible for those people to work for Lu Jing.
