Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

In his opinion, Xiaoqing's talent in practicing the King of Medicine Sutra was extremely good, and he estimated that his talent in alchemy would also be very good.

Whether the elixir is used to heal injuries, improve cultivation, or break through bottlenecks, it has an effect that cannot be ignored.

A person's energy and time are limited, and his talents vary.

Qin Niu's talent is to practice health-preserving skills, breed insect pets, and grow medicinal herbs. He can grow various rare medicinal herbs and then find someone to refine them into elixirs.

If Xiao Qing can be cultivated into an excellent alchemist, not only can he save a lot of alchemy costs, but he will also be safer.

Confidentiality can also be achieved to the greatest extent possible.

It can be said that there are many benefits.

"Let's go buy some elixirs now, and then buy some elixir-related books for Xiaoqing before heading back home. What do you two ladies think?"

Qin Niu asked his two wives and concubines for their opinions.

"As long as your husband makes the decision."

The two of them always obeyed Qin Niu's opinions.

Although they still wanted to stay in a mansion in the city for a few more days and experience the life of living in a mansion, Qin Niu was going back to the countryside, and they had no choice but to go back together.

Qin Niu bought a total of twenty body tempering pills, ten each for his wife and concubines, and asked them to take them to honor their parents.

This matter was also discussed with Wang Wanyan.

She never mentioned the matter of letting her father enter the Ancient Banyan Tree Array to practice.

Tang Caixian gave ten Body Tempering Pills to her parents, which made Tang Wenhan smile from ear to ear.

When he first married his daughter to Qin Niu as a concubine, he strongly opposed it.

Now that he has benefited from his son-in-law, his status in the village has soared, and he has even become the village chief and the head of the Tang family. I also received many financial benefits from my son-in-law. When Tang Wenhan saw Qin Niu, he called him affectionately.

For this person, what can last forever is profit.

……

After Qin Niu returned to the village, he began an ordinary and fulfilling life of cultivation again.

Practicing, cultivating insect pets, growing medicinal herbs, reading and studying, these things almost filled up all his time. Only in the evening can I have time to chat with my wives and concubines and cultivate feelings.

There was another difficult thing that was giving him a headache right now.

Because we have purchased more than 6,000 acres of fertile land, we must find a way to cultivate it as soon as possible. He could only recruit troops and horses from everywhere and hire a large number of farmers to farm the land.

Since there were floods and insect infestations this year, many tenant farmers lost their pants and their enthusiasm for renting farmland was low. There are nearly 6,600 acres of fertile land in hand. Except for dozens of acres of black land that some people are rushing to rent, few people care about other fertile lands.

Qin Niu had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of planting his own seeds.

He has the special status of a first-class noble. According to regulations, the fields under his name are exempt from taxes. But he has six to seven thousand acres of farmland under his name, and he doesn't know if it can all be tax-free.

I will have to ask Fang Lian for advice some other time.

He saved the five ancestors of the Fang family on the battlefield last time, which was equivalent to saving the Fang family. However, his relationship with the Fang family has become closer.

I believe that there are many secrets of the upper class, and Fang Lian should be able to teach him some.

On this day, Qin Niu was having dinner with his wife and concubines at home, and was still discussing the matter of asking Xiaoqing to teach several servants how to read.

I could only hear Erdan's knocking at the door from outside.

"Brother Aniu, Brother Aniu, something happened!"

There was anxiety in his voice.

Qin Niu's heart suddenly broke out. Something happened at Aunt Hua's house a while ago, and her daughter died. Now that something happened to Erdan's family again, could he really be the legendary evil star?

Things happened to people close to me one after another.

This is not a good sign.

Qin Niu's figure flashed, appeared directly behind the courtyard door, and opened the courtyard door himself.

"Erdan, what happened? Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Uncle Xu's wife is shouting that she wants to jump into the river to die, but she can't hold her back. My father is worried about someone's life, so I asked you to go over and have a look."

Erdan pulled Qin Niu and ran towards the village chief's house.

The Uncle Xu in his mouth is Xu Zhenchang.

Even though the small Shuangfeng Village only has more than 200 people, its personnel are complicated.

Every family has its own way of survival.

The Erdan family has a very close relationship with Xu Zhenchang. Because Xu Zhenchang hired Erdan's father to help with farming, he was basically a long-term employee of the Xu family.

During busy farming periods, when temporary additional manpower is needed, Erdan’s mothers are often hired first.

Most of Erdan's family's income comes from Xu Zhenchang's salary.

In this way, the relationship between the two families naturally became closer.

As the village chief, Xu Zhenchang is quite tactful, but he is quite decent. The family has always been harmonious and is a happy family envied by the villagers. Okay, why is Xu Zhenchang's wife suddenly clamoring to jump into the river?

Crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves are basically the exclusive preserve of shrews.

Xu Zhenchang's wife does not look like a shrew type. Now she is clamoring to jump into the river. It must be that a big change has occurred in the family.

Qin Niu quickly rushed to Xu Zhenchang's house at the entrance of the village. There were already some villagers gathered around to watch the fun.

Xu Zhenchang's wife was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, and her clothes were torn, revealing her bellyband. His face was covered with tears, and he was crying there.

"Don't hold me and let me die. This life is really unbearable! Even if you stop me now, when you leave, I will still seek death... Wuwu..."

She kept struggling, her voice was sad.

Xu Zhenchang hugged her tightly, while his two children looked on at a loss.

"Aunt Shuxiang, what's going on? Is Uncle Xu bullying you?"

Qin Niu is now the leader of the village and has great authority.

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding villagers got out of the way, and some people were saying, "Master Qin is here, he will definitely be able to persuade Li Suixiang this time."

"You let Xu Zhenchang speak for himself, I can't say it!"

Li Shuixiang said angrily.

Xu Zhenchang looked embarrassed and forced a smile towards Qin Niu.

When Qin Niu saw this situation, he vaguely guessed something.

There is a high probability that something scandalous happened in the family.

"Everyone, please disperse! Go back to bed early and keep your spirits up. As long as you are willing to work, you can work in my field. Your wages will be indispensable."

Qin Niu has now become the largest landowner in the area.

The land owned even far exceeds that of the Yan family.

But he finally understood why the Yan family only maintained a farm of more than a thousand acres.

There is only a field with no one to plant it and no one to manage it. Not to mention making money, a lot of money has to be poured into it every year. For example, land tax is a big expense.

Also, it seems that buying ten acres of fertile land can be done for just over a hundred taels of silver.

The subsequent expenses of hiring farmers, buying seeds, fertilizers, pest control, weeding, etc. will all cost a lot of money. And no matter whether the harvest is good or bad, expenses have to be paid every year.

Eat as much food as you have in your stomach.

The Yan family grew up gradually and had much more experience than the upstart Qin Niu.

Although everyone was unwilling to do so, no one dared not listen to Qin Niu's words. One by one they dispersed.

Qin Niu said to Xu Zhenchang and his wife, "If you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk."

Xu Zhenchang and his wife followed into the house.

A pair of children also came in.

"Erdan, you take them outside to play, and I'll talk to Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu."

Erdan immediately took Xu Zhenchang's children outside to play.

Erdan's father and wife wisely closed the door and followed them outside to wait.

Family scandals should not be made public.

Xu Zhenchang definitely doesn't want others to hear about his family affairs.

"Now that there is no one else, tell me what happened?"

Qin Niu was actually not willing to get involved in other people's family affairs, but Xu Zhenchang had helped him a lot, and now that something was wrong with the Xu family, he couldn't ignore it.

"He, this heartless person, actually got close to Liu Qing's wife..."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Xu Zhenchang quickly covered his wife's mouth, as if he was afraid of being overheard by others.

Liu Qing is Liu Shengli’s cousin.

His wife is very beautiful, but a bit lazy. And I heard that it’s a bit ostentatious outside.

Men, even if they don't have the chance, they will try their best to create opportunities to be around beautiful women.

Liu Qing's wife is a bit of a charlatan, and it's only a matter of time before Hongxing cheats on her.

Liu Qing's mind itself is a bit unclear, and many people secretly call him Liu Dasha.

"If you dare to steal someone, you are afraid of being criticized!"

Li Suixiang cursed. (End of chapter)
