Chapter 1603 Outside the City
If you walk out of the secret place where Our Lady of Wudang is, and follow the barren mountains to the west, you will reach the outer area of ​​Chang'an City, which is the slum area.

This is an area that Zhang Xuezhou believes is more suitable for Zhangjiazhuang people to live.

Even if there is chaos outside Chang'an City and all kinds of darkness, this is the foot of Tianzi City, where there is little chance of major troubles.

As long as they live here, even if the Huainan King's people find out, Zhangjiazhuang people still need to abide by the rules. It is no longer easy to take away hundreds or even hundreds of people at once.

Chang'an City is adjacent to the Jing River and Wei River and has certain water conservancy conditions. It is a good place to open up wasteland and survive.

As long as we survive the few months of sowing and harvesting, the most difficult days will be over.

Zhang Xuezhou was on official duty at this time, and he did not dare to look for people from Zhangjiazhuang without any arrogance.

After coming out of the secret land of Our Lady of Wudang, Zhang Xuezhou tidied up a little before walking through the mountains.

"If a man cultivates a field, if he has ten bushes of dendrobium per acre, he calls it fertile land!"

"How can there be an acre of fertile farmland in this world?"

"As long as you work hard, there will definitely be something!"

Among the people, dendrobium and stone are the same unit. The yield of ordinary fields is three stones per mu, while fertile fields can receive about four to five stones in good years.

To achieve ten dendrobiums per acre, this requires almost tripling the ordinary yield and tripling the fertile fields.

The standards of this kind of fertile land are extremely high, making it difficult for many farmers to believe it.

“We plow at sunrise and return at sunset. We have worked hard on the fields to the point where we can’t pay any more attention to them, but we have never seen fertile fields with such a yield!”

"A good field must first have good seeds. Good seeds are the foundation for a good harvest. Without this foundation, it will be difficult to increase production no matter how hard you try, just like you won't be able to run far no matter how hard you run if you have sprained legs!"

"This seed..."

“We don’t sell seeds, we just talk about the reasons behind it!”

……

If there are people in the fields who teach you how to farm, 70% to 80% of them are from the farming sect.

Few people from the Nong Zong came to Chang'an City, so it's not difficult to guess the rest.

When Zhang Xuezhou entered the slum area outside Chang'an City again, he had already seen Xu Ji, who was talking eloquently. He was accompanied by Xu Yuan, and there were many farmers around him.

Xu Yuan farmed in a hurry last year, but the harvest was still gratifying. He also taught farming skills from time to time, and accumulated a lot of credibility outside the city.

And when the old Xu Ji came, many people were listening and learning attentively.

"We are not here to do business!"

Xu Yuan also echoed.

"Brother Sanhao Grain Store" has a lot of millet seeds stored in it. This is a business of selling money. Although it is not said to make a lot of money, there is no problem in supporting the family.

But people can’t keep up with the changes.

When Xu Yuan came back, a large number of poor relatives of Zhang Xuezhou and others came, and hundreds of them were waiting to plow the land to make a living.

It's not easy to settle down with one's mouth open to eat and drink.

Farming is a long-term plan, and these seeds are also used in the newly developed fields of Zhangjiazhuang people.

The people of Zhangjiazhuang are good at hunting, but they rely on the weather for planting. They just sow and don't care about the process. Waiting for the autumn harvest depends purely on luck. There are only a handful of crops that can survive in the fields of Zhangjiazhuang.

This also had to be taught patiently by Xu Yuan and others, and even demonstrated over and over again.

Surrounding Xu Ji and Xu Yuan were many people from Zhangjiazhuang, as well as many farmers who came here to study.

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands to Xu Yuan for a while. When Xu Yuan noticed it, he immediately pushed aside the crowd and rushed over.

"Brother Zhang!"

"I haven't seen you in half a year. You've grown a lot!"

Xu Yuan called out, and Zhang Xuezhou also looked at Xu Yuan.

Compared with when he left, Xu Yuan was much thicker and looked more powerful.

This is not only physical development, Xu Yuan's cultivation level is also improving.

With the help of the Peiyuan Pill given by Zhang Xuezhou, Xu Yuan's cultivation has the possibility of accumulating resources in the first three realms, and he is currently at the level of body control realm.

Although magic-type monks at this level are still cultivating their inner apertures and cannot express their magic power externally, their bodies have the basic ability to withstand magic spells, curses, cold and heat, etc. Their physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people, and some small magic tricks are also quite useful.

Xu Yuan has changed greatly, which may be an important factor in Xu Ji's willingness to come to Chang'an City.

"Mr. Xu's body looks good too," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Thanks to the money given by Brother Zhang, my grandfather was less tired from the journey and his health was even better," Xu Yuan thanked him.

"Your grandfather's illness is not a big problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

As long as Xu Ji's body can survive, Taiqingzhen Technique will heal Xu Ji's internal and external injuries.

This requires a period of conditioning before it is suitable to perform surgery on such elderly people.

Zhang Xuezhou explained the cause and effect, and Xu Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"Have you seen the addition?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Brother Rong said there was something urgent. He came over and handed over many things to us and then rode to Huainan." Xu Yuan said, "He should be looking for you!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He left a letter at the post house. Rong Tianding should return to Chang'an City after receiving the letter.

It has been two months since everyone in Zhangjiazhuang fled Huainan, and there is a high probability that Rong Tianding will come back during this time.

"Have you seen a man named Zhang Cigong?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I saw it." Xu Yuan nodded and said: "There are too many people here, and we can't deal with those horses. He took the horse to find a certain lady in the Huainan Prince's Mansion, saying he wanted to see if he could get some. He came back to help everyone, but he hasn’t been able to come back for a while!”

"The solution he dealt with works!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

In addition to slaughtering some horses for food along the way, the horses in Shouchun City will be subject to interrogation no matter which city they enter or leave, especially if they involve a certain scale and quantity, let alone selling the horses and converting them into money.

Zhang Cigong's plan to return these horses to the Huainan Palace was a bit risky, but the way he handled it was very correct, which saved the people of Zhangjiazhuang from being involved in the subsequent encounters.

It's just that Zhang Cigong still needs to pass the level of the princess of Huainan Palace.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't find any Weng Lord to check the situation at this time, but Zhang Cigong must be somewhat confident if he dared to do such a thing.

And since Xu Yuan mentioned the issue of relief, the problems faced by Zhangjiazhuang people when they first arrived were indeed huge.

"I earned three guans in Huainan and a hundred guans in Jiangxia..."

"Um... ah?"

Zhang Xuezhou said that the money was nothing. After all, Xu Yuan was used to Zhang Xuezhou's status as a rich man.

But when Zhang Xuezhou casually mentioned a hundred dollars, he couldn't help but take a breath of air. He felt that he couldn't earn so much money even through robbery.

If they could have so much money, people like these in Zhangjiazhuang could still eat millet and rice to their fullest even if they did not work for two or three years.

"I still have some scattered gold and silver here. You can use it to buy some food and try to delay it for as long as possible. I will send this money back to Chang'an City as soon as possible!"

As long as the King of Jiangdu keeps his word, Zhang Xuezhou still has one hundred thousand gold in Jiangdu, which is one hundred and a half taels, and the number of half taels involved is one million.

The total weight of these half-liang coins is about 700 kilograms.

Rewards are hard to come by, and it is equally difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to get the money back.

This not only involves transportation issues, but the huge amount of money can also easily attract the attention of some thieves.

If it cannot be exchanged for something with higher general value, it will be a trouble for him. After all, it is impossible for him to stuff one and a half taels of money into the bag, and the bag has a limited capacity. Not so much.

He had no choice but to let Xu Yuan maintain the basic conditions for the survival of Zhangjiazhuang people as much as possible, while he tried to transport the money back as soon as possible.

"Your father took people out for hunting. Even the gophers have been dug up everywhere in this barren mountain. The recent hunting harvest is not very good, and they are coming back late. Do you want to..."

"I'll leave early and come back early!"

Zhang Xuezhou did not wait for Zhang Zhong to return from hunting.

Time has always been a problem for Zhang Xuezhou. When things are urgent, he can't afford to waste time, lest he fall into the waiting time of returning to the real world again.

With limited time, Zhang Xuezhou will pursue things as fast as he can.

At this time, he was also glad that he accidentally entered the Gaoyou Water Mansion and condensed the golden wings.

Although the huge demon power forcefully instilled in his body by the Dragon Ball has receded, his demon power will slowly return to a more balanced level.

The Yunzhong Technique combined with the Soaring Cloud Technique, and with a pair of black and white horses as backup, he now has the basic ability to start a long voyage.
