stand back, let me come

Chapter 1173: Why can't you let me farm? (Part 1173) [Seeking monthly votes]

"Two hundred million mu, gulp!" Yu Zi swallowed hard, her eyes full of yearning, "If we can plant two hundred million mu of land, even if we only harvest once a year, it will be a lot of food!"

By then, we won’t feel bad about wasting food.

Yu Zi imagined herself eating a bowl and throwing it away, and shook her head in her heart, no, no, she would still feel bad even if she couldn't finish it.

"First, we need to have much more than 200 million mu of land, and secondly, 200 million mu of land that can be used to grow food." Lin Feng ruthlessly broke Yu Zi's imagination, "It's too difficult."

What is the difficulty in completing this perfect ceremony?

It’s not about how to produce so many grain seeds, but about the land!

It is the territory that limits Lin Feng's path to perfection.

Yu Zi subconsciously said: "With collective efforts, we can always..."

Before she finished speaking, she fell silent.

This problem can no longer be solved by collective efforts.

Lin Feng's tone was filled with a hint of resentment.

"We can only work together to expand our territory."

There is no other way out.

If Lin Feng was an idler who had never entered the government, with no loyal lord and no country to trust, she might join the Gods Society, use the connections of the five branches of the Gods Society, sell all the grain seeds at a high price, and complete her own perfect ritual by taking advantage of the opportunity. As long as the grain seeds she provided were planted, the cultivated land would be considered effective, and it would not be difficult to complete it.

But Lin Feng couldn't do that.

She couldn't just spread the high-quality seeds to all the countries in the continent without authorization in order to perfect her own way as a scholar, and call it letting more people have enough food. This move was stupid, vicious and evil in Lin Feng's eyes!

  Food is the lifeline in troubled times!

There is no land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death.

Even if the common people get high-yield grain seeds, they will still starve to death, because the grain they grow does not belong to them, but to the various warlords who hold heavy troops and high positions! When these forces have food, the first thing they think about is not recuperation!

  They will just recruit soldiers and horses!

Once all the warlords do this, the war will only last longer.

The result is that more people will die!

All the extra people who died were killed by Lin Feng!

Because of this, Lin Feng tried his best to restrain himself and not to cling to the so-called perfection of the scholar's way, but to focus on the things at hand.

  So what if it’s not perfect?

At least in Lin Feng's opinion, her heart of Tao is perfect.

Yu Zi calculated silently: "If we calculate based on 200 million mu of arable land, we must at least take over half of the entire continent. The northwest continent already belongs to our Kangguo. The Lord has been planning in the southwest in recent years. If we calculate it this way..."

Isn’t this the future to look forward to?

Lin Feng poured a bucket of cold water on his friend.

She felt helpless: "Wei Heng, this account cannot be calculated like this. There is not much arable land in the northwest continent, and there are more mountains and water in the southwest and less land. It's good to have one or two acres of arable land. Even if we take over the southwest continent, the arable land is far from enough."

The cultivated land area in the northwest continent has increased dramatically in recent years. Of course, it is not because the land is suitable for farming. It is all thanks to the brave warriors who have reclaimed wasteland everywhere. In addition, the blessing of the country's fortune has made the land fertile quickly, which has led to the current prosperous scene.

Once we get this area in the southwest, we have to transform it.

The minimum is three to five years, and the maximum is seven to eight years.

The most fertile areas of the entire continent are in the central and eastern regions. According to the information collected, there are vast natural arable land areas, fertile soil, and suitable climate in those areas. There is no need to bother planning and cultivating them, and there are more fields than in the northwest.

  If Lin Feng wants to pass the perfect ceremony of the Way of the Scholar, Kangguo needs to occupy at least two-thirds of the continent, and at least one of the northeastern continent and the southeastern continent. This level is just one step away from unification. How difficult is it!

Even the Wu State back then was a little bit behind.

Yu Zi said: "If the southwest is not enough, then the central part will make up for it! Our lord is not one of those mediocre lords who live in a corner. After the northwest is stabilized, the southwest will come, and after the southwest, the central part, and then the southeast and northeast. This world will eventually belong to the Kang family!"

After saying that, I felt something was wrong and corrected it.

"No, the world will eventually belong to the Shen family!"

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile: "I believe it too."

"Does the Lord know?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly: "So far, I haven't mentioned this to anyone except you, including the master and teacher."

She didn't want to cause trouble to her master and teacher because of her own affairs. Whenever she encountered topics related to the Consummation Ceremony, she would either avoid talking about it or deliberately conceal it. Although Wei Heng was older than her, the two of them studied and practiced together. Over the years, their relationship was not like that of real sisters, but better than that of real sisters. Wei Heng was tight-lipped and would not easily reveal anything, so she could confide in him without worry.

Yu Zi sat on the edge of the field with her knees hugged in distress, looking at the endless amount of Artemisia selengensis with her chin in her hands, worried and unable to help complaining.

"Lingde, you said we just want to farm, why are people in this world so bad that they won't let us farm? They only care about fighting and don't care about the land. It's a pity to waste it. It's better to find them a place to fight their war, and they will give up the land for us to farm. Wouldn't it be easy to get 200 million acres of arable land? They can fight to their heart's content, and we can be comfortable too." Yu Zi spread her hands and praised, "The best of both worlds, isn't it wonderful?"

Lin Feng was amused by Yu Zi's fairy tale.

She pretended to think seriously.

"I can't help it. Maybe they don't understand what's good or bad."

His eyes were cunning: "So we have to learn a little bit of boxing."

If reasoning doesn’t work, then the only option is to practice martial arts diligently and then use force to convince people.

The two looked at each other for a few breaths and burst into laughter.

They all seemed to be amused by their own shameless logic.

They played and laughed all the way back to the camp.

Kang Shi and Yu Zi needed to retreat to familiarize themselves with their respective ways of being a scholar, and they asked Shen Tang for retreat one after another. Shen Tang generously approved a month of paid leave. As a result, the next day, they ran into Yu Zi, who was said to be in retreat, and the latter was dressed in casual clothes.

"Wei Heng, didn't you go into seclusion?" Yu Zi was about to salute when she was stopped by Shen Tang. Yu Zi saluted, and she had to return the salute. Shen Tang was also annoyed, "It's not duty time. We are not the monarch and the subject at this moment. There is no need for so much etiquette."

"I hit a bottleneck and came out to relax."

Shen Tang: "..."

That's right, retreat doesn't mean you have to lock yourself in a small dark room and think about things all the time, eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the room. It's called retreat, but it's actually a short vacation, without the worldly distractions, you can focus on one thing and live your daily life as usual.

Shen Tang's eyes fell on the object in her hand.

"There are no arrangements for this in the camp?"

Yu Zi explained, "In the past, he always... arranged everything for me. He took care of me so meticulously that I'm not used to rough things. The camp has made comprehensive arrangements, but they're not as meticulous as I am. I'm also not used to having too many people around me. My great uncle is getting old, so he may not be able to take care of some of his needs, so I'll go out on my own."

In the past, her daily life was arranged by her confidant, and she only needed to focus on her duties and cultivation, and she didn't need to worry about the trivial matters at home. She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden absence of that person.

Shen Tang heard the pause in Yu Zi's words.

I immediately thought of who she was referring to.

Before Shen Tang could speak, Yu Zi said, "Master, don't try to comfort me. I've actually been out of it for a while. Being a scout is a life-threatening situation. I've been prepared. People have joys and sorrows, and no one can accompany each other for a lifetime."

Friends who knew her tacitly avoided his presence.

Yu Zi could sense it, but she felt it was unnecessary. She said calmly, "Men will be sad because of losing their concubines, and so will women. They really like each other, but it is also true that they don't like each other to the point of living and dying together. It may be a bit heartless to say this..."

She could no longer remember how she felt when she heard the news of the man's death.

  Regret, heartache, heartbreak?

Maybe all of them, but the only thing missing is despair.

She even had the rationality to suppress these unnecessary emotions. She fought when she should fight, and killed when she should kill. During the period when she was banned for overusing the Way of the Scholar, she was more concerned about military affairs and cultivation. Only when she habitually looked at the other party's position did she vaguely remember that the person had died in battle. Lin Feng and others were cautious with her. She found it a little funny, but also a little helpless.

A man who can focus on his career after being widowed will be praised.

  Why was she treated so cautiously when facing the same situation, as if they were afraid that she would be heartbroken by the memory?

The outside world seems to overestimate the depth of her love.

Yu Zi's family was a mess. When she was growing up, she had never seen a true couple, nor had she seen two people who were not related by blood being tightly bound together by love, sharing life and death. She had never seen it, so she had no specific feelings.

But, there is one thing she knows.

If a person truly loves another person to the core, he or she will definitely rack his or her brains, do everything in his or her power, and bring the best of everything to the other person, and do everything possible to lift him or her up high. Yu Zi asked herself, she simply couldn't do that.

She hadn't even thought about the future they had together. If we use the common analogy of a man-woman relationship, he was like a concubine. Admitting that he hadn't gotten over it?

lie!

Explain that you have let it go?

fickle!

She simply chose not to know.

Shen Tang asked: "Unfeeling? Why would you be unfeeling?"

At best, it's a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

"One party dies young, is it abnormal for the other party to look forward? Must the other party be listless and drink all day to be fair?" The affectionate persona is set up, while the hardworking persona is OOC. If love affects government affairs, the ministers should continue to be single.

Yu Zi is not as free and easy as she says she is.

  If he really came out, why would he stare at Gong Shuwu?

Speaking of Gong Shuwu——

Shen Tang and Yu Zi walked around for a while and saw someone taking his daughter to get a dress made in a cloth shop. She took the opportunity to mention Gong Shuwu's daughter. When she mentioned Gong Shuwu, Yu Zi's body stiffened slightly. Shen Tang pretended not to notice.

Take the opportunity to point out the true identity of Queen Gongshu.

His biological mother was from the northern desert, and his biological father was from the interior of the country.

This child was adopted by Gong Cheng, who entrusted him to Gong Shuwu before his death. He was also a miserable person with a rough life.

Yu Zi lowered her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shen Tang also stopped there.

The king and his minister were strolling around the city.

It's said to be a stroll, but it's actually an inspection.

The former capital of the Gao Kingdom was burned down by a fire, and the current buildings were rebuilt on the ruins. The injured who were treated have almost recovered and are also engaged in intensive reconstruction work. This place is changing every day, and the common people are also smiling.

"It would be nice if there were less black scales."

Shen Tang weighed the things he bought and was sure that something was missing.

Seven out of ten companies are like this, the difference is how much black there is.

"Write it all down and clean it up later."

The black scale has come upon her head, and she really doesn't know how to write about her life and death.

Yu Zi felt sorry for those merchants in her heart.

We were almost done walking around when someone on the street suddenly shouted, "Someone is handing out candy on the street," and a dozen kids ran over laughing.

Shen Tang heard the noise and went to join in the fun.

Sugar is still a rare commodity these days.

Someone is giving out candy for free?

  Is there any evil intention?

At first glance, wow, it’s one of us.

Shen Tang was even stopped by the woman next to him: "Why are you, a grown-up, running over to fight with a child for candy?"

"I can't eat?"

"These candies are only given to children."

Before, some adults also ran to queue up but were kicked out.

Shen Tang inquired again: "Do you know why these people give candy to children? Candy is not a rare thing?"

She is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. When she does good deeds, she wants everyone to know what she did. The woman didn't know that it was because she didn't publicize it well enough, which was a serious dereliction of duty!

The woman obviously knew something.

"The people who give out candy say that eating candy can cure worms."

Shen Tang asked again: "Jiao Luo? Can a piece of candy kill the worm?"

The woman's face lit up when she talked about this: "I don't know if it works, but my child said yesterday that his asshole was itchy. Guess what? It pulled out such a long thing, and it can crawl. It's disgusting and scary."

As he spoke, he gestured the length with his hands.

Oh, don’t even mention how scary the scene was.

The woman's voice was loud and she was very excited when she spoke. The common people nearby were also attracted by her words: "My two children pulled out longer worms, and it was late at night. That bastard was ignorant. He tried to stuff them into my mouth while pulling them out."

The child was young and didn't know what was coming out of his anus. He just thought it was fun. The adults knew more and almost had a heart attack. Complaining about the same thing is more likely to resonate with people. Soon two more people joined in.

From beginning to end, Shen Tang just listened with a smile.

From time to time, he would cast his glance at Qi Miao who was handing out candies on the street.

His eyes were full of relief.

Qi Miao's progress is much faster than expected.

Everything was going smoothly in Kangguo, but Wuyou and Zixu were having a lot of twists and turns. Wuyou, with Cui Hui as his backer, used the name of "martial arts competition to recruit a bride" to fight in secret, squeezing brave warriors to work for him, and there was no sign of being exposed for a while. In comparison, Zixu's progress was slow.

Every day, the old cases piled up in the government office were cleared out.

As soon as Shen Tang's mind was synchronized, she saw a group of people kneeling below. She knew what was happening.

Two families are fighting over their daughter.

It's not a melodrama like a real daughter being taken away by mistake, but it's far more dramatic than a melodrama. Both families are well-known and wealthy in the local area, one living in the east of the city and the other in the west. Each family has a daughter, who happened to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year. At the beginning of the year, the Wang family in the east of the city and the Li family in the west of the city held funerals one after another. As a result, the daughter of the east city resurrected from the coffin and suddenly woke up on the third day of the funeral.

This should have been a happy event.

When the daughter woke up, she said she was the daughter of the Li family!

He was clamoring to go back to the Li family.

When the Li family heard about this, they came to ask for confirmation, crying and saying on the spot that they wanted to take their daughter back, but Wang naturally refused to agree. The two families quarreled over this matter for half a year, and because the previous parent official died suddenly, there was no final conclusion to the matter.

Until Zixu took office.

The two companies continued to argue in the lawsuit.

Shen Tang looked at the two cases with the expression of an old man on the subway, and pointed out the incident to the girl to repeat the cause and effect. The girl looked young and had not yet reached the age of marriage. She was not in a hurry when Shen Tang called her name, and she bowed and repeated the content that she had repeated countless times.

"...I remember that day at three o'clock in the morning, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon broke into my boudoir and locked my soul to the underworld with a chain. I waited for a few days on the Yellow Springs Road and finally arrived in front of the King of Hell's Palace. The judge found out that my life span had not yet ended and that the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon had taken the wrong soul and should have taken the daughter of the Wang family. The King of Hell asked the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon to bring me back to the living world, but I never expected that the time in the living world was different from that in the underworld, and my body had been destroyed. The judge then suggested that I borrow the body of the daughter of the Wang family to return to the living world..."

The soul is a girl from the Li family, and the body is a girl from the Wang family.

What's more, both families have only one daughter, so they need to find a son-in-law for their daughter to continue their family line, otherwise the family will be wiped out by the side branches. Both families think that this is their daughter, so they can only sue for her. Shen Tang listened carefully to the requests of the two families.

Ask the girl: "Do you have any ideas?"

The girl bit her lip, unable to make a decision.

Shen Tang waved his hand and said, "Since we can't fight for it, and there is no similar precedent in this dynasty, then I will propose a solution. You two families should listen to it and see if you can each take a step back. How do you think?"

The two families looked at each other and said, "I'd like to hear more details."

"Let's each family recruit a son-in-law."

The testimony in the complaint is exact, must it have been hard to memorize it?

  🇧🇷

PS: The setting of 18 million mu in the previous chapter is because the red line of cultivated land is billion mu, and the cultivated land area cannot be calculated repeatedly. The day when Lin Feng achieves it, the world will be well fed and clothed, and it is not a perfect state, but a step to perfection!

PPS: Luan Xin: I’m happy again.
