Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 153
Although he already knew that he would be promoted without any problem, Shi Zhongkui still felt a little excited when he heard it with his own ears.

At this point, it means that the minister has waved to him again, and even stepped into the cabinet with half a foot.

Think about what Zhu Yuanzhang ordered personally in the early Ming Dynasty in history. The real first Huang Guan who scored six yuan in a row took only 5 years to sit all the way to the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

In the Jianwen Dynasty, he even sat down to the second grade.

And he was only 37 years old at that time, and it only took 9 years.

There's no reason I'm slower than him.

After clearing the moat, the agency of the river channel will be officially handed over to the governor's yamen of the river channel.

After he saluted and said the words of 'compliance', the merit column in the space farm jumped up and down.

Suddenly jumped from 4030 to 6030.

While Shi Zhongkui was happy, he was also somewhat regretful.

If the downstream river is also cleaned up, one thousand merits should be obtained.

Fortunately, there are many ways to obtain merit. Since it is not necessary to obtain merit from the river, the main conflict becomes to protect yourself.

When Shi Zhongkui was in his imperial sedan chair, he changed into the red robe official uniform that only fifth-rank officials could wear.

There is also a jade belt that can only be worn by a special bachelor, and a silver medal that can only be worn by a champion, which immediately makes people feel awe in their hearts.

Xue Jinping, Xue Bian, and all the officials in the field camp all knelt on the ground and saluted, "Congratulations, my lord."

Seeing dozens of officials wearing green robes, green robes, and military uniforms around him, as well as hundreds of field soldiers kneeling in front of him, Shi Zhongkui let go of his dissatisfaction that he lost 1 merits.

After some politeness, when Shi Zhongkui got into the sedan chair and went back to Daying, he thought about the promise he had made to the emperor to borrow 5 taels of silver and repay 4 taels.

Since only two-thirds of the project has been completed, the 5 silver in my hand cannot really be paid back only 4.

After thinking for a while, he decided to return 4.6 taels to the court.

The remaining 4000 taels, and more than 20,000 shi of grain, were simply used to buy the top and bottom of the farm camps in Wanping and Daxing.

After all, the rice and fish raised in the more than 10,000 mu of paddy fields in Tuntian Sina still need these people to take care of them.

Summoning people into the big tent, Shi Zhongkui quickly found that even Xue Jinping had a smile of relief on his face.

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that these guys were indeed frightened by him.

Even Xue Jinping, when he heard that his imperial mission was over, had a kind of joyful thought of sending himself away from the Tuntian Division.

Arranged to start cleaning the moat tomorrow, Shi Zhongkui left Xue Jinping and several fifth-rank five sense organs and the seventh-rank chief of the Ministry of Industry, implying that the 2.3 shi grains in Wanping City, he would only report the remaining 4 shi afterwards .

Xue Jinping and others really smiled knowingly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will keep the accounts well, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you."

When the others heard this, they also smiled and promised.

1.9 shi of grain, even if the wheat has been harvested at this time, is worth almost 1.8 taels of silver.

If you share one point, you can get three 500 taels of silver.

It was only at this time that everyone understood that it wasn't that Shi Zhongkui didn't know how to seek money for his subordinates, but that you had to get things done first, and he would naturally reward you.

And everyone calculated in their hearts, and suddenly found that this adult is really capable.

The imperial court only gave 5 taels of silver, and only 5 shi for food, and [-] shi was donated by the gentry in Wanping.

But the 8 shi of grain is basically enough for ditches in the paddy fields, land reclamation and dredging of rivers.

In other words, after the task was completed, there were still more than 2 shi of grain left.

If it were someone else, maybe the 5 taels of silver would have been spent long ago, not to mention, they would have already been in a deficit.

Xue Jinping and the others looked at each other, bowed their hands together and bowed to Shi Zhongkui, "Your Excellency has planned a strategy, I will be convinced."

Shi Zhongkui laughed, "When the rice fields are harvested today, I will reward you and report to the imperial court to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, sir", everyone who opened up wasteland has already been rated as excellent by the officials, and they are waiting to discuss their merits together after the autumn harvest.

If it is rated as excellent again, a few seventh-rank officials from the Ministry of Industry will spend some money to move around, and it will be no problem at all to be released to a county magistrate with real power.

And Xue Jinping will definitely be able to get promoted to the fourth grade capital as he wishes, and truly control the Tuntian Camp in Wanping County.

After waiting for two or three years, after Shi Zhongkui is promoted to another level, it should be no problem to transfer him to Daying in the capital.

Although Shi Zhongkui didn't know what these people were thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

If you want to gain a foothold in the court, how can you succeed if you don't have many officials who depend on you?
After letting Xue Jinping and others go out to do things, Shi Zhongkui still didn't dare to send the remaining 4 taels of silver in the end.

After thinking about it, he simply handed over all the 5 taels of silver to the emperor.

But after thinking about it, it might as well be handed over to the Ministry of Households, and only 4 taels of silver can be returned.

After all, Emperor Jinglong was not the Emperor Jiajing who wanted money desperately, and giving him money would definitely be suspected by the civil and military officials of the entire court.

After finishing these trivial matters, Shi Zhongkui led his men to ride around the moat on horseback.

Because of his supernatural powers, it can be said that any ghosts hiding in the moat are in his eyes, so they don't want to hide.

That night, he used the technique of divine movement, and went to the moat under the escort of the night tour god and the soldiers of the underworld.

Because it is the capital city, and it has been peaceful for a hundred years, there are residential houses in many places outside the city.

Following Chinchilla to a deserted courtyard, Shi Zhongkui kept taking out things from the warehouse of Space Farm and arranged them into simple altars.

Putting on the red official uniform, took out the Xuanli sword, released three soul-attracting charms that absorbed the power of incense, and began to chant the soul-calling spell.

After the incantation was finished, the three incense charms floated up with aura, and the three deeply hidden ghosts in the moat were immediately attracted, ready to move.

After Shi Zhongkui sensed it, he shouted loudly, "Nie Zhan, if you don't come out at this time, when will you wait?"

Following these words, the surrounding air quickly became cold.

The closest female ghost, who was also the one with the highest cultivation, soon appeared in the courtyard.

With Shi Zhongkui's luck, he could easily see that this pitiful female ghost in a white gown was actually just a swollen, disgusting evil ghost.

Not willing to talk nonsense at all, he ordered to Ye Youshen, "Hurry up and send her to the underworld."

"My lord", upon seeing this, the female ghost hurriedly knelt down and shouted for grievances, "The little girl was originally from Suzhou and Hangzhou. She was bought by the Jinfeng Tower in the capital. She taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and became a nobleman. Who would have thought that she would meet Mr. Liu... .”

"Stop", Shi Zhongkui doesn't care about these bad things.

Not to mention that this female ghost has at least a hundred years of cultivation, that is to say, no matter how many grievances she has, the enemy is already dead, and even reincarnated twice.

To avenge him is to find trouble with a reincarnated person who has been sentenced by the underworld for his crimes?

This is a slap in the face of the underworld.

"If you have a grievance, go to the judge of the underworld to redress your grievance. How can I judge the matter of ghosts when I am a human judge?"

"This,,."

The interrupted female ghost was taken aback for a moment, and then her expression became grim.

"Bold," Shi Zhongkui yelled angrily, "I kindly help you enter the underworld, and give you a chance to appeal for grievances and reincarnate. If you don't know how to be grateful and how important it is, you will definitely not escape the end of your soul."

After finishing speaking, the Xuanli Sword in his hand glowed with aura, and more than a dozen thunder talismans also appeared in the air out of thin air, faintly emitting thunder light, aiming at the female ghost.

What ghosts and ghosts are most afraid of is thunder. Once they are hit, their skills will be greatly reduced, and their souls will be scattered.

Not to mention that the Xuanli sword is invincible within the Jindan territory according to Wang Hu, the horse supervisor.

Dealing with a female ghost who has been cultivated for a hundred years is simply to be injured by knocking, and to die when touched.

The female ghost was so frightened that she regained her senses and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Only then did Shi Zhongkui nod his head in satisfaction, "I think you haven't committed any evil deeds in a hundred years, so I wrote a letter for you to take to the underworld as a pleading paper and hand it over to your lord judge."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui was willing to write the pleadings for herself, the female ghost couldn't help but get excited.

He hurriedly told his experience again, Shi Zhongkui felt helpless after hearing it.

Another heartless young master who not only failed the love of the women in the brothel, but also killed people.

From the perspective of modern people, this girl is indeed pitiful and wronged.

But from the perspective of the ancients, this girl couldn't figure out her own birth, and she actually wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. She was looking for death.

Of course, killing someone's life is a felony punishable by death for the people of the Celestial Dynasty no matter what the era.

"If the young master of the Liu family had been reincarnated, it would have already been two generations. You can't let go of the hatred in your heart, so I pleaded with the judge to let you meet that Liu again after your reincarnation.

What happens after that depends on God's will. "

"Thank you sir."

The female ghost wept with joy, fell to her knees and wept for a while, before she said, "My lord is so kind, the little girl is willing to help you clean up the bones of all those who died unjustly in the moat."

But Shi Zhongkui murmured in his heart, maybe this female ghost will be deceived by him again when she meets that young man surnamed Liu.

Forget it, what to do after thinking so much.

I summoned these three ghosts, not only to prevent the soldiers from being killed by them, but also to use them to find the bones in the moat.

Since the female ghost is willing to help, of course it is the best.

Seeing this, the other two ghosts who arrived a little late also knelt down and said that they were also willing to help, and only asked Shi Zhongkui to help them also intercede with the judge.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui doesn't help everyone.

A ghost with a trace of black air all over its body, it has killed several people at first glance.

Shi Zhongkui thought about it, although he couldn't control the Xuanli sword to fly with the sword, but it is still no problem to control the Xuanli sword to fly out to attack the target.

There was a flash of sword light, and the ghost with black energy coming out of his body didn't even have a chance to dodge, and was pierced through the spirit body by the Xuanli sword.

The other ghost was so frightened that he flew into the air without even thinking about it, and fled into the moat.

It's a pity that since he showed up, how can he escape the pursuit of the night wandering god and the soldiers of the underworld.

With a flick of Ye Youshen's hand, a long golden whip was thrown at the fleeing ghost in an instant, and it slapped heavily on his back.

After a scream, several pitch-black chains appeared from the hands of the underworld soldiers, and they flew up out of thin air and caught up with the ghost, easily binding him tightly.

The ghost hurriedly wailed and shouted, "My lord, spare my life. My lord, spare my life. The villain hides in the moat and has never killed anyone. In the past 50 years, he has even rescued 2 children who fell into the water."

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but rolled his eyes, even ghosts don't believe his words.

But all the ghosts who died unjustly can restrain the resentment and unwillingness in their hearts, and keep their spiritual wisdom, which is considered rare.

Fortunately, although the ghost lied, it really has no karma on its body.

Shi Zhongkui waved at Ye Youshen, "Take him to the underworld, and hand him over to the underworld ghost messenger to take him to the underworld."

"Yes", Ye Youshen winked at his subordinates, and soon four soldiers from the Underworld escorted the ghost to the Temple of the City God.

Shi Zhongkui comforted the female ghost a few words, and after that, the female ghost worked hard.

It took only half the night to find all the bones that could be found in the moat and bring them to the yard.

Shi Zhongkui glanced around, and quickly calculated that at least one hundred skeletons that had not been corroded by the river water appeared in front of him.

As for the scattered bones, there are more.

Casting his eyes at Ye Youshen, seeing that he didn't show any pain in the face of Chenghuang's medicinal wine, Shi Zhongkui immediately knew that the medicinal wine in Chenghuang's hands might be far beyond his imagination.

It was agreed before that it would be one to fifty catties, and after Ye Youshen reported to the City God, he directly brought a hundred altars of medicinal wine.

Shi Zhongkui suddenly laughed.

With a thought, one hundred wine jars were collected by him into the warehouse of Space Farm.

But after collecting the things, Shi Zhongkui suddenly found that the warehouse was almost full.

The size of the space is 10 by 10 by 10.

20 pieces of farmland consume 80 square meters, and the well is also 2 by 2 square meters.

That is to say, the length and width of the warehouse are 4 by 4, and the height is 10 meters.

In the two years before getting Zhu Guo, except for the Lingtao, the other 19 farmlands were 10 catties a day, 190 catties a day, and 6.935 catties a year.

After two years of selling saffron, daily-used fruits, vegetables, and grains, 12 catties of various grains, fruits, and vegetables were stored in the warehouse without knowing it.

When Shi Zhongkui saw that the warehouse was not enough, his first thought was to take out the grain and fruits in the space.

The second thought is to use merit to expand the warehouse.

Calculated based on 2 merits for a piece of 2x10 farmland, if you want to double the size of the warehouse, it will be 80 merits.

Shi Zhongkui thought that if he could gain merit by burying these bones, he would expand the warehouse.

Ordering the soldiers of the Yin Division to pack up all the bones, Shi Zhongkui used the magic technique and took the lead to a hill 20 miles away.

Ye Youshen saw him look left and right, and immediately understood that he was looking for a place to bury these bones.

Arching his hands, he said, "My lord, the little god knows an excellent Feng Shui place."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head, "These people have already died in vain, there is no need to find a good Feng Shui place for them."

After finishing speaking, he recruited Chinchilla and pointed to a passable place, "Go dig a hole."
