Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113 Taking office
"My lord, these are the rice seeds that the tenant farmers have prepared. The amount is one mu of land. What's the use of these?" Wei Yue came to Chu Nan with a bag of seeds and asked.

Chu Nan took out a seed and frowned slightly. It took ten points of luck to strengthen a single seed, and it even caught up with a bug.

During this period of time, Chu Nan has been thinking about and summarizing the cloud map of luck, and the strengthening is also graded. For example, no matter what kind of material a pair of obscene pants are made of, the first enhancement is ten points of luck.

But if it is changed to food, depending on the size and type, the price of strengthening is different. Ten boiled corns only need a little luck, but this one seed needs ten luck, which may be related to life. About it.

Ordinary people need [-] Luck for the first enhancement. Those who are gifted can strengthen their talents, and those without talents have a very high probability of appearing talents. Most insects need ten points of Luck for initial enhancement. He has never seen any bugs with special talents. However, to be considered, small animals such as cats and dogs need about a thousand luck for initial strengthening.

But one seed costs ten points of luck, which is a bit expensive. Before, he thought it was similar to cooked ones, but at most it was ten times more expensive. Who would have thought that it would be so much more expensive.

The number of rice seeds that can be planted in one mu of land is between two and three hundred. If you calculate three hundred, it will cost three thousand luck, and this is only strengthened once.

For 1 mu of land, 10 seeds are needed. If all the seeds are strengthened, then [-].

Boss Cao had to cry when he saw it!
It seems that it is impossible to plant the [-] mu of land with enhanced seeds in one go!
Chu Nan felt a little regretful, so let's plant an acre first.

Chu Nan asked Wei Yue to help him count three hundred seeds.

Wei Yue: "..."

high quality rice
Talent: Harvest (increase grain production by 20%)

Chu Nan has been upgraded to another level, and the grain yield has been increased to 40%. If you want to double the grain yield, you need five times. It takes [-] luck to strengthen [-] grains five times, and you can still bear it, but this is not enough. Not what he wanted.

The third enhancement, this time did not directly enhance the Harvest talent, but strengthened the seeds, and the Harvest was raised to level 2.

It wasn't until the fourth strengthening that what Chu Nan wanted was strengthened.

Talent: Growth Acceleration (Maturity cycle shortened by 5%)

The rice season lasts about three months. It is planted in April and can be harvested in July. The 85-day period is shortened by half, to [-] and a half days.

Although the grain production is Zhongyou, but for Chu Nan, the shortening of the growth cycle is more important. He wants to see if the talent can be passed on after the seeds mature, and he will not be a county magistrate for long, at most four moon.

Taking the seeds handed over by Wei Yue, strengthening them one by one, not for talent, only for seeds, as long as the growth acceleration is strengthened, keep clicking. Each time you strengthen, shorten the growth cycle of four and a half days, and if you continue to strengthen to the full level, The growth cycle is 45% of the original, and it can be harvested in about 41 days.

It took a total of [-] luck, more than half of the county magistrate's luck, to complete the strengthening of these [-] rice seeds.

"You plant these seeds, don't worry about other places, as long as you take good care of this acre of land and plant it, it will be worth a thousand dollars to you." Chu Nan looked at a tenant farmer beside him and said, this was given to him by Mi Fang Among the sharecroppers, the one with the highest farming skills.

"Hey, thank you magistrate." According to him, the tenant farmer is only 35 years old, but he has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round. Not only has his skin been tanned, but his face is also full of wrinkles. It seems that people believe that he is 50 years old. To Chu Nan, he seemed quite cautious, and he stammered a not-so-standard salute.

"My lord, is this the end?" Wei Yue followed beside Chu Nan, looked back, and then looked at Chu Nan again.

"You know how to farm?" Chu Nan asked.

"Yes, the last general also plowed the fields when he was young." Wei Yue nodded.

"Then go plant it." Chu Nan pointed to the field and left without looking back.

Farming is also better than teaching bugs to read!

Thinking of teaching an insect to read and write these days, Wei Yue felt a little tired. If Chu Nan hadn't agreed to help him strengthen the weapon, Wei Yue would never have taken up the job.

In the next month, apart from studying county affairs, Chu Nan basically studied Confucianism from Chen Gong.

Although there is no division of realms, there are stages in learning. First, Chu Nan needs to thoroughly read the Confucian classics to cultivate a noble spirit. This thing is not the same as the legendary inner strength. Although it is also discovered from within, it is cultivated with the heart Instead of dantian breathing, comprehending the spirit of the ancient sages, this stage is also called self-cultivation, without any supernatural powers and abilities.

When you cultivate the awe-inspiring spirit in your heart, you will be considered an entry.

Zhang Liao went to Pei County to replace Gao Shun. Although Cao Cao gave him the state shepherd position, and Lu Bu took back most of his troops, Pei County is where Lu Bu's forces border Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and even Yuan Shao. Naturally, it is impossible to be defenseless However, with Zhang Liao stationed there, the Xuzhou border can be kept safe.

Chen Gong was also transferred back to Xuzhou, and he would give lectures on Confucianism and Taoism to Xuzhou scholars every day. Since the news of Chen Gong becoming a great Confucianist spread, his status in Xuzhou has risen, especially under the suggestion of Chen Gong There is a school in Xiapi, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning. As long as you are willing to learn the essence of Confucianism, you can attend the school regardless of your background. As for how much you can listen to, it depends on your ability.

Of course, it is the busy season of farming, not everyone has time to study, and Chen Gong does not speak every day, usually every three days, and those who can come every time are mostly from wealthy families. Ordinary farmers and tenant farmers don't have time to come to listen to the lectures, and they may not understand them.

However, if this is the case, it has indirectly accumulated a lot of popularity for Lu Bu. In Chu Nan's spare time, he has made arrangements to help Lu Bu set up people, but the effect is not obvious so far.

In addition, the biggest thing may be to establish further cooperation with Yuan Shu. Merchant ships from Xuzhou can enter the Yangtze River through Hefei. However, Jiangdong did not respond to Lu Bu's release of merchant ships and establish a certain cooperation, but they did not embarrass them. For the merchant ships on both sides, Mi Fang gave Chu Nan [-] farmland and [-] tenants. Naturally, Chu Nan couldn't pull Mi Fang down in this matter of foreign trade.

In mid-January, two major trade transactions were carried out. Lu Bu's side had a lot more grain, and the market for sea salt was opened up.

"Ziyan, now Jiangdong and Guangling have started to manufacture sea salt in large quantities." Today, Chu Nan was preparing to go to Chen Gong to practice, and he had already faintly noticed a sense of grandeur in his heart. According to what Chen Gong said, he The time to cultivate the first ray of righteousness has come, and he was going to practice under the care of Chen Gong, but Mi Fang suddenly called him, and said a little indignantly.

"So what?" Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and smiled.

"How?" Mi Fang looked at Chu Nan: "The price of salt on the market has dropped by [-]% compared to the past. If this continues, the trade between us and the princes will be unprofitable."

The price of Shanghai salt in the market has been reduced, and Chu Nan and Zhang Xiu have promised to lower the market price by [-]%, and the market price will be reduced by [-]%. The transaction with the princes, regardless of production and shipping costs, basically has no profit.

"It's okay, I won't rely on this in the future." Chu Nan smiled. The method of making sea salt will be leaked sooner or later. He had expected this at the beginning. It has been more than three months. It is as difficult as heaven to hide the salt.

"Then what?" Mi Fang frowned and looked at Chu Nan.

"Come with me, I'll show you something." Chu Nan saw that it was still early, and brought Mi Fang home, and asked Chu Rong to fetch a bag and hand it to Mi Fang.

"What is this?" Mi Fang opened the cloth bag, but saw a bag of crystal clear white powder inside, and looked at Chu Nan in puzzlement.

"Try it." Chu Nan said with a smile.

Mi Fang stuck some with her fingers and put it in her mouth as she said.

"Salt?" Mi Fang tasted it, and looked at Chu Nan with some uncertainty. Normal salt should be slightly bitter, but this kind of salt retains the salty taste, but it doesn't have that bitter feeling, and it looks more crystal clear. .

"There are a few more processes, but it will be difficult to imitate this." Chu Nan said with a smile. The salt-making utensils have been strengthened by him. Normal utensils cannot reach this level, but after strengthening, strengthening In order to ensure the purification effect and nutritional value, the refined salt not only looks good, but also tastes good.

"What is the price?" Mi Fang looked at Chu Nan with twinkling eyes, and Chu Nan felt that he would pounce on him in the next moment.

"Three times." Chu Nan stretched out three fingers and looked at Mi Fang and said, "Build a workshop, and I will ask the blacksmith to make a few more sets of this kind of utensils. Since they want to lower the price, then we won't make any money. The price has been kept to a minimum, but the refined salt has doubled and increased.”

"What if they make the same salt again?" Mi Fang was a little worried about the future, just like sea salt, this secret might not be kept.

"Then learn their techniques and we will copy them. Don't worry, with my vessel here, our quality is at least [-]% or more higher than theirs with the same technique." Chu Nan laughed and made it through normal means. But the salt can be the same as the one I made by strengthening the vessel, no need to ask, the other party must be higher, so after learning it, I can immediately improve the quality of the salt on my side, and I will be invincible innately, why? lose?
"Also, there are more steps needed to make refined salt this time. You divide the workshop into three parts, and find the most core part to be done by your confidantes. Without this method of core separation, the salt they make can eat the dead." Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and smiled.

"Leave this matter to me?" Mi Fang's eyes lit up.

"Well, but the utensils are owned by the state capital and cannot be sold privately. The salt that comes out can only be sold in the salt farm established by the state capital. It cannot be sold privately. [-]% of the money will be given to the Mi family." Chu Nan looked at Mi Fang and said , There are some things that should be agreed in advance, and they don't have to be done, but when they are done, there are reasons and evidence.

"Only [-]%?" Mi Fang was a little reluctant.

"If you don't want to, let someone else do it."

"I'll do it!" Mi Fang said hastily. As a wealthy businessman, he knows the benefits of this thing too well. It is definitely a good product for the high-end market. Not only can it make money, it can be operated well, and it can also make others owe him favors. Good business, don't be a fool.

"I'm going to the teacher's place, Uncle Rong, give Zifang the things I prepared." Chu Nan cupped his fists at Mi Fang. He still has to go to Chen Gong to study, and today he may enter Confucianism and Taoism. The threshold is up.

"Zi Yan, go slowly." Mi Fang sent Chu Nan to the door with a smile on her face. Those who didn't know it thought he was the owner of this place.

Chu Nan felt a little strange, waved his hand at him, turned around and went straight to Chen Gong's mansion...
