Prosperity through farming

Chapter 22

Immediately after him, many practitioners in Xiaotian village crossed the catastrophe, and it was also because of the punishment of heaven that they jointly cracked it. The aura between heaven and earth has not yet returned to the balance line, and it is not enough to support the mountains, rivers and waters of the entire continent. That's why the thunder struck so many people, squeezed out the spiritual energy in their bodies, and replenished it into the space between heaven and earth.

Only then can we barely complete the purpose of this divine punishment, otherwise, if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is still insufficient, even if the flood recedes, disasters such as landslides will continue to occur, and the replenishment of spiritual energy will continue to be completed. This is the law between heaven and earth , is not even something that can be influenced by heaven or fairyland.

Finally, the practitioners in Xiaotian Village have enough merits and virtues. Although they have been through continuous tribulations, even those who originally had insufficient skills have all succeeded.

Later, many practitioners came to ask them for advice, but they didn't have time to pay attention to those boring things.

Although the flood receded, the people's livelihood was dying, and the whole land was still mourning, especially the suffering of the people.

The people in Xiaotian Village never thought that they were any different from the common people. Of course, it was impossible to stand idly by in such a situation.

In Dashui, there were originally thirteen countries on the mainland, not to mention other officials, even the emperor escaped only in those countries with higher terrain and the palace was built closer to several mountain ranges.

After the flood receded, the emperors of these countries returned to the palace and began to restore the court system, but the people had lost confidence in these courts.

When the flood came, the court did nothing, and even the emperor and officials fled first.

Will such a court, such an emperor, still be unable to even notify the people when the next disaster strikes?

In other countries, the royal family basically failed to escape, and all died in the catastrophe, and the regime became even more chaotic. Naturally, some people took the opportunity to rise up and fight for power and profit by taking advantage of the chaos.

The fairy masters in Xiaotian Village looked at the people who had just escaped from the flood and fell into the flames of gunpowder. It has not been cherished.

But it is inconvenient for practitioners to intervene in the rise and fall of political power in the mortal world. All these have their own destiny.

Unless there is a monarch who burns incense and prays to them.

But except for one person, none of the power grabbers asked for help from Zhang Tianshi, who had just made great efforts in the flood and had become a god.

Because everyone who wants to be an emperor knows that if Zhang Tianshi really comes forward, with his prestige as a god in the hearts of the people, he must be the one who says that he can be the emperor, and whoever will be recognized as the emperor by the people.

But these people are very clear in their hearts that their own virtues are not so high that Zhang Tianshi will definitely help them.

There is only one exception, that is, the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom later asked Zhang Tianshi to burn incense for help.

Among the thirteen countries, the Great Merchant Kingdom is close to the northeast border of the mainland. Because the country is not big in the first place, the distinction between the monarch and the people is not very clear. It is better to say that the emperor is elected by the entire clan. Chief, during the flood, the first emperor's family took the lead to lead the people to resist the flood and organized everyone to evacuate to the mountain.

During the heavy rain that followed, the first emperor's family used clothes, medicine, bait and food on the seriously ill old and weak people. Before the immortal master delivered the medicine, he became weak and died. Congmin, among these surviving common people, there is already a leader style.

This country was weak in the first place, and people's livelihood was ruined after the flood. At this time, the mainland was swarming, and the war gradually spread to the Shang country. The king of the Shang country was very worried. Not a lot, but it has become the coveted focus of the major powers.

Fighting depends on the army, and the army is composed of soldiers. The number of soldiers is very critical in the current situation where too many people have died in the flood and the armies of all countries have been reduced to less than ten thousand.

The Shang Kingdom had a large number of people surviving, and Ye Kingdom, which was close to the Shang Kingdom, immediately suppressed its territory with an army. After the Shang Kingdom was destroyed, it could get more young and strong soldiers to replenish its soldiers, so as to dominate the chaotic war situation in the mainland.

However, the number of surviving people in the Shang Kingdom is indeed relatively large. In addition to the help of the immortal masters, the first emperor implemented the decree not to save food but only save people before the flood started. The more people survived, the more food was consumed, but Shang The country does not have so much grain in stock that is enough to feed the people of the country for a year.

The people inside have no food, and the troops of the neighboring countries are oppressing the border.

In desperation, the successor king burned incense and prayed to Tianshi Zhang for help.

But Zhang Tianshi has passed through the catastrophe, he is considered a person in the fairy world, and he cannot personally help, but someone asked and gave Xiaotian Village the best reason to rescue the people. The ancestors of Xiaotian Village discussed it and naturally sent young adults The one who led the team out of the mountain this time was a nephew of Zhang Tianshi—after all, the person who burned incense and prayed was Zhang Tianshi.

Zhang Tianshi's nephew was the later Zhang Guoshi.

As soon as the immortal masters brought by Zhang Guoshi arrived in the country of Shang, they made extraordinary moves. They first rehabilitated all the fields that had been flooded and muddy so that they could be planted, and then took out a batch of yams for the people of the country to plant. After entering the field, it will grow in three months, and more than 3000 catties can be harvested in one mu of land, which is enough for the common people to eat.In addition, according to the national conditions of the Shang country with many mountains, a batch of kudzu seeds were obtained, and the people planted them in the mountains. After all, they can be used as food.

As for the enemy, Zhang Guoshi also said that they are not allowed to meddle in the state affairs of the mortal world, they only inquire about the information of Ye Kingdom, and let the Lord of Shang Kingdom make his own decision.

After having food, the Lord of the Shang Kingdom will have confidence, and when the Immortal Master comes, the common people will have a mentality, thinking that Zhang Tianshi is willing to send the Immortal Master to the Shang Kingdom, which proves that the Lord of the Shang Kingdom is supported by Zhang Tianshi. Not only the people in their own country returned to their hearts, but even the enemy countries were trembling. Under the ups and downs, the Shang Kingdom annexed the original Ye Kingdom.

When the war subsided, the distribution of forces on the entire continent had also settled down. There were only seven of the original thirteen countries before the disaster, and no matter how you say it, too many people died in the flood. Many people died in the war, and it was really devastated.

All those who have won the throne have a tacit understanding of peace, rest and recuperate in peace, and accumulate national strength.

The situation was stable, and the immortal masters who came to help were very thoughtful and asked the emperor to leave, but the emperor of the Shang Kingdom repeatedly begged the immortal masters to stay in the Shang Kingdom, and even named the immortal masters surnamed Zhang as national teachers, and allowed them to stay in the country. Establish Taoism and teach Taoism.

Under the emperor's begging, Zhang Guoshi had no choice but to stay, and asked others to go back to Xiaotian Village to discuss with the patriarchs in the village school how to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the news from the clan actually granted Zhang Guoshi's request to the Emperor of Shang, which surprised him.

Later, I found out that since so many people in Xiaotian Village crossed smoothly, the comprehension world has been paying attention to their movements. After seeing Xiaotian Village making another move, several major cultivators were not far behind and joined the chaos in the mainland. in the bureau.

In the seven countries on the mainland, besides the help of the fairy masters from Xiaotian Village behind the country of Shang, the practitioners of the Lu family villa behind the country of Yan help each other, and the other five countries also have their own support from the big sects of cultivation. .

Because of Zhang Tianshi's popularity, what the immortal masters from Xiaotian Village did afterwards will attract widespread attention. Therefore, these big cultivators, after understanding Zhang Guoshi's team's actions very carefully, immediately copied them one by one. ——

Zhang Guoshi and the others helped the common people prepare the land and gave them seeds to plant. Those big cultivators followed suit. Zhang Guoshi and the others never participated in court discussions, and those big cultivators did the same. He Jingguai used special means to inquire about the news of the enemy country, and they also tried to eavesdrop on the intelligence of the enemy country. Zhang Guoshi and the others just gave the information to the emperor directly, and they didn't care about the successor, they did it one by one.

Speaking of which, those cultivators really think highly of Xiaotian Village, and Zhang Guoshi can’t be counted as a high-powered person in Xiaotian Village. Basically, those with high skills in Xiaotian Village made great efforts in the flood, and they have already been struck by lightning. It's heaven, so the only ones who can be sent out are these disciples who have just graduated from the village school and are not yet home.

As for those big factions of cultivation, all of them came out of the top masters who had entered the period of crossing the catastrophe—after all, they were most concerned about how to successfully cross the catastrophe—so, without the knowledge of the team led by Zhang Guoshi, their Every move was watched by people.

After studying for a long time, those cultivators are not stupid. Of course, they understand that what Zhang Guoshi and the others do has a lot to do with "merit".

Therefore, you can no longer do such unconscionable things as killing demons and killing spirits. When you encounter elixir and spiritual plants, you should also consider the matter of cutting off the roots after picking them, helping lowly civilians to tide over difficulties, etc. Things I never bothered to do before, and now I don't care about maintaining the arrogance of a cultivator. Not only do I have to do it, but I have to do it myself.

Not to mention, there is a real difference in the level of cultivation. The dozens of people led by Zhang Guoshi from Xiaotian Village worked together, and it took nearly half a month to complete all the fields in Shangguo. All the fields were leveled in half a week.

As for the yam kudzu root seeds given by Zhang Guoshi, the masters who have not eaten mortal fireworks for N years of course don't know what they are, but they secretly get one and let the disciples in the sect find the same thing Come, it is not difficult, after all, it is a big sect, and they are high-ranking members of the sect...
