Although Lu Jing repeatedly said that he did not need any cat thread grass, the woman in the purple skirt and her group still insisted on waiting for the elixir to be refined and divided Lu Jing's half.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Lu Jing finally asked them to send the elixir directly to Wen Xiaochuan.
Because he thought about it, Yan Yun was the one who didn't need to worry the least, not counting Lu Jing himself, a buggy player. Not that big.
In comparison, Wen Xiaochuan is probably the most useful. After all, when it comes to paddling, Wen Xiaochuan is about the same as him. He doesn't practice well on weekdays. If this continues, he will probably have to imitate Teacher Han and take drugs to become a mortal.
When talking about taking drugs, Lu Jing remembered the land deed he got from Aunt Wen last time.
Because of that land deed, Lu Jing also fell from the proletariat to the landlord class and owned more than 1,700 acres of land. But now there is no output from the more than 1,700 acres of land, just sitting there for nothing. .
Just after he broke through again and became a monk of the Second Palace, the two small medicinal fields he originally cultivated were not enough. In addition, the old debt of Huguang had not been paid off, and he had to bear the new debt of the mountain fire. Lu Jing's desire to make money is now even stronger.
Therefore, the development of more than one thousand acres of land was naturally put on the agenda.
Seeing that there was still some time before dark, Lu Jing decided to go there for a walk.
So after bidding farewell to the purple-skirted woman and the group, he first went to his medicinal field, used Lush and Green, and picked up a bag of ginseng seeds. Then he went to Huang Jianyuan, and briefly recounted to the latter what he had learned about it. What happened in Lingyang, he brought Amu and Black Cat to Yuzhou.
Yuzhou has been known as the granary of the north since ancient times.
Although it may not be as good as several major grain-producing states in the south, it is better because it is closer to the capital and has convenient transportation. Especially in the past, before the canal was dug, most of the corn in the capital was produced in Yuzhou.
But ironically, Yuzhou was one of the first states to be affected by this turmoil. A severe drought caused Yuzhou, which was originally a major grain-producing state, to almost lose its harvest. However, the previous tax burden has not been reduced. How many.
The imperial court sent troops to suppress the rebellion in the west, and most of the food and grass needed had to be raised from the private sector. The three factors superimposed on each other made the people of Yuzhou become particularly revolutionary.
At that time, there were many casualties, and the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself. It just let the Xiang army guard important towns, and then relied on local soldiers from various places to suppress the bandits.
However, due to the lack of food and military expenditures, the enthusiasm of the rural soldiers was not very high. They had nothing to do with suppressing the bandits, so the situation in Yuzhou naturally found it difficult to improve.
Even though the drought is over now, few people are still interested in farming.
When Aunt Wen gave the land deed to Lu Jing, she also reminded him that the area was now occupied by a group of bandits.
Lu Jing now planned to meet the other party.
He bought some farm tools for growing ginseng in the county town, then asked someone for directions, and hurried out of the city before the city gate closed.
After running about thirty miles to the north in one breath, he even entered his own territory.
Lu Jing looked up and could see large tracts of abandoned farmland, and there were cottages and houses among the fields. However, most of the doors were open now, and it looked like no one had lived in them for a long time.
Amu really likes this feeling of being empty and deserted. He can take off the bamboo hat on his head to hide his identity and run around in the field with his short legs.
Because the speed was so fast, the black cat on his head almost gave him motion sickness. He found the right opportunity and jumped down from above, and then jumped onto Lu Jing's shoulder.
Lu Jing was squatting on the ground, grabbing a handful of soil and checking the quality of the soil.
With his newbie's perspective, he could tell that the soil quality in this place was quite good.
Because Yuzhou was originally the granary of the north, and Aunt Wen originally bought such a large piece of land to grow grain and make wine, so naturally she picked good places, but she didn't expect that what happened later made her lose her investment. After all, it was finally taken out and Lu Jing was advantaged.
And Lu Jing is also very satisfied with the land under his feet. This place may not be as good as the mountain behind the academy, but it is better than the large portion. If it is all planted with ginseng, no, just draw a hundred acres of ginseng. , Lu Jing felt that the time for him to pay off that huge debt was approaching.
After that, he might even be able to become the richest man in Yuzhou, Dangdang.
Of course, the food had to be eaten one bite at a time and the road had to be walked step by step. Before planting ginseng, Lu Jing had to clean up his house.
He glanced at Amu who was still catching grasshoppers at the head of the field, without calling it, and just walked towards the foot of the mountain alone.
Lu Jing had to free his hands to carry farm tools, so he didn't take the Zen staff this time. Now he was carrying two shovels, two hoes, and a sickle under his arm.
As for the waist, there is a bag of seeds hanging, dressed like a humanoid druid.
As a result, when he was approaching the bottom of the mountain, Lu Jing finally saw smoke rising from a hut. He quickened his pace a little and walked over. It happened that someone came out of that hut.
He was a thin boy, he looked about twelve or thirteen years old. In Lu Jing's previous life, he was probably still in elementary school.
However, the boy in front of him does not have much of the youthfulness and innocence that should be expected at this age. He is wearing a Taoist robe that obviously does not fit well. There are blood stains on the Taoist robe. In addition, he is also tied around his neck. A handkerchief. Judging from the style, the handkerchief clearly belongs to a woman.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the woodcutter on his waist, the edge of which is sharpened.
The boy was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Jing, then immediately threw away the soup bowl he was holding, pulled out the hatchet with his backhand, and said to Lu Jing, "Stand there, don't move, and take out all the valuable things on you! "
"Why?"
"Why, why?" the boy waved the hatchet in his hand, "When you meet a hero, you should be respectful and then kneel down and beg for mercy. Hasn't anyone taught you this?!"
"A good man? Oh, you're talking about those bandits. Are you the same?"
Pooh! The boy spat aside, then raised the hatchet to his chest and said with a fierce look, "Friend, you have to pay the price for saying the wrong thing.
"I'll give you one last chance. Take out all the money and food you have! Otherwise, I'll chop off your head and make it into a chamber pot. We've already killed several blind guys with this knife. .”
