I have a magical tree

Is this something you can say? And you said it to my face, aren't you afraid that Master Wang will get angry!

Xu Dao was really worried about this pair of brothers, but fortunately Master Wang just glanced at Lin Yu and turned his head away.

But Xu Dao felt that these two brothers were interesting. They were much more sincere than other medical officers in the Shangyi Bureau. Just from Lin Yu's words just now, we can get a glimpse of his character. Cui Zhou on the side was a little more restrained, but he was also an easy-going person.

They are all people worth making friends with!

It seems that Master Wang has a good eye for selecting disciples. Both talent and character are excellent!

Of these two brothers, Cui Zhou entered the door first and is now a third-grade alchemist. Lin Yu entered the door later and is now a second-grade alchemist.

As for the two martial arts, the former is a sixth-grade and the latter is a seventh-grade peak, both of which are not weak.

Xu Dao sat down with the two of them. After just a joke, the relationship between the few people was really much closer. After all, people who can make jokes about teachers will definitely not be difficult to get along with.

In fact, Xu Dao felt that this Senior Brother Lin Yu might be a bit of a chatterbox!

Since he sat down, he has been talking all the time. Even if Xu Dao wanted to interrupt, there was no room!

He also talked mostly about what he saw and heard during this demotion to the prefectures and counties.

The two brothers were thrown to the prefectures and counties by Old Wang, with the purpose of letting them take charge of their own affairs and gain some knowledge, which would be beneficial to their cultivation and progress in the Dao of Alchemy.

"What are the two senior brothers mainly responsible for doing when they arrive at the prefectures and counties?" Xu Dao was very curious about this. After waiting for Lin Yu to speak for a while, he hurriedly asked.

"Oh, I forgot, Junior Brother Xu hasn't been there yet, Senior Brother, you go ahead and tell me, I'm afraid I've missed something!" Lin Yu looked at Cui Zhou.

Cui Zhou nodded, "In fact, it is a common practice for alchemists to be transferred to prefectures and counties. The only exception in Heishan Prefecture is Yanghe County!"

Xu Dao nodded. It was understandable. That place was a sinkhole. If it was not necessary, I'm afraid no alchemist would be willing to go there.

"Later, Junior Brother Xu's teacher, that is, Elder Ge, went to Yanghe County to study the way of alchemy with peace of mind, and our prefecture city no longer cared about that place."

"As for other prefectures and counties, after we went there, in addition to refining medicine and curing diseases, the most important task was actually to take care of the medicine fields."

"Medicine fields?"

Cui Zhou nodded, "Otherwise, Junior Brother, where do you think the prefecture city consumes so many medicinal materials every year? It is far from enough to rely on transfers from outside the prefecture. Moreover, in a prefecture, only one or several medicinal materials can be planted to maximize efficiency."

"Like our Black Mountain Prefecture, the main medicinal materials planted are purple phoenix bamboo, sky ghost willow, thunder grass, and dragon blood vine."

"These four medicinal materials alone are naturally not enough to make medicine, but they can be used to exchange with other prefectures and exchange what they have!"

Xu Dao suddenly realized that there is actually great wisdom in this. Large-scale planting is convenient for management and harvesting, and the efficiency of medicinal material production is greatly improved. If there are too many types of medicinal materials, it will lead to various management chaos, which will reduce the output of medicinal materials.

Then, through the exchange of medicinal materials between prefectures, the exchanges and connections between prefectures and counties will be strengthened. This is also a way of ruling.

If a prefecture can be completely self-sufficient in medicinal materials, the only result is that this county city is likely to develop into a country within a country.

"In this case, the medicinal field is the foundation of my Shangyi Bureau. No wonder even the two senior brothers went down."

Cui Zhou nodded, "In this world, the human race and the weird are fighting for land. The more places the human race occupies, the less places the weird occupy. The more places the human race occupies, the stronger the human race will be. Just like Heishan Prefecture, although the prefecture city is strong, it is actually impossible to exist alone. The prefectures and counties below are both barriers and extensions. If the prefectures and counties below are destroyed, the prefecture city will not be far from destruction."

The prefectures and counties below use villages and towns as barriers and extensions to continuously expand the influence of the human race and resist the invasion and compression of the monsters.

This situation is like playing Go. Whoever occupies a larger area will have the last laugh. Therefore, the human race has never gotten rid of the shadow of the monsters. The two sides have been tug-of-war like this, and each has its own exchanges.

A race without enough living space is doomed to have no future.

"In fact, like our Black Mountain Prefecture, there are only a dozen states and counties under its jurisdiction, which is far from enough. There are still large areas of real wilderness that humans have not set foot on." Cui Zhou sighed.

"Real wilderness?"

Cui Zhou nodded, "Real wilderness! In fact, the wilderness we see now has been reclaimed. Although there are still monsters and monsters causing trouble, at least most of the places are suitable for human habitation."

"But in those real wilderness areas, there are not only weirdness, but also weird realms. Once ordinary people set foot in, they will surely die. Even low-level warriors will face many dangers in surviving in them. It is difficult to gain a foothold in them without experiencing the process of reclaiming the wilderness."

So that's it. He said that the area of ​​the entire Black Mountain Prefecture is actually very exaggerated. It is thousands of miles from Yanghe County to the prefecture city alone.

But under the jurisdiction of such a huge prefecture, there are only a dozen prefectures and counties. The area occupied by these dozen prefectures and counties, even if the Black Mountain Range is excluded, is probably not even one-tenth of the total area of ​​Black Mountain Prefecture.

And he also knew that the wilderness he had seen was not the real wilderness. The real wilderness is more dangerous and more bizarre!

"My dream is to really go deep into the wilderness. I heard that there are not only dangers but also opportunities there. Immortal caves, relics of gods, various natural treasures, and even treasures that can enhance the soul!" Lin Yu took over the conversation.

What is the most important thing for an alchemist? Nothing is more important than the soul. The soul is the biggest obstacle to the advancement of the alchemist. And the treasure that can enhance the soul can solve all of this.

"Then you wait, when the county city issues a pioneering order, I'll see if you will go!" Cui Zhou said with a smile.

"Pioneering order?" This was the first time Xu Dao heard of this thing.

"That's something that can only be released by the county. It comes every few years. Expanding territory is secondary. The important thing is to take back the occupied land from the weird hands and expand the living space of the human race."

"Has Xining County also released it?"

"Of course, it was done once a few years ago. Of course, you are in Yanghe County, so you definitely don't know about it. Yanghe County has no part in this kind of thing!"

"Yanghe County is surrounded by the Black Mountain. Who is tired of opening up wasteland in the Black Mountain Range? Isn't that courting death?"

"I'm afraid the power of the prefecture alone is not enough?"

"Of course it's not enough. There will be support from the county at that time! The imperial envoy who came a few days ago supported the Black Mountain Prefecture back then and became a close friend with the prefect!"

"I see. After listening to what the two senior brothers said, I also want to see what it's like to open up wasteland!"
