Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

After Zhang He counted all kinds of trophies, he remembered that Jiang Tianba, the leader of the bandit, was still in custody in the sheep pen.

"Fat Tiger, bring that bandit leader out."

"Okay!"

Fat Tiger responded, and quickly pulled out a big man from the sheep pen.

At this moment, Jiang Tianba was wounded in many places, he walked with a limp, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was pulled out by the fat tiger like an animal with a rope. His former domineering spirit was gone.

"Ouch! Ouch! Take it easy!"

Jiang Tianba was pulled so hard that he groaned, and when he got in front of Zhang He, he was kicked to the ground by the guards.

"Masters, this is all a misunderstanding!"

"Isn't it too late to beg for mercy at this time?"

Zhang He looked at Jiang Tianba, who was kowtowing again and again, and didn't intend to waste too much tongue. He was going to let the guards lead him out to kill him, so that he could be buried together and save trouble.

"Please forgive me, my lord, this time it really wasn't my idea." Jiang Tianba had a premonition of death and begged for mercy.

"It's all the idea of ​​the Wan family. The third steward of the Wan family ordered someone to send fifty taels of silver and ordered us to come and destroy Qifeng Mountain...

There are also those masters who were sent by the Wan family to help and monitor me to complete the task by the way. "

In order to save his life, Jiang Tianba fully explained the ins and outs of the matter, even the small treasury under his bed was not concealed.

When Zhang He saw those masters in the previous battle, he was also very puzzled.

According to his understanding, every martial art of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very precious, and without a certain status, there is no chance to get in touch with it.

Moreover, practicing martial arts is just a matter of increasing appetite, and it is not something these tenants who eat wild vegetables can bear.

Therefore, it is impossible for martial arts masters to appear at the bottom of society in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although some bandits also have masters, they are all old bandits with inheritance, or are backed by powerful forces.

Little bandits like Jiang Tianba are composed of refugees, and ordinary masters will not participate.

The strength of these masters is similar to that of the team members who have practiced the first form of "Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing and Death". It is said that they are guards specially trained by the Wan family.

Jiang Tianba's begging for mercy was useless, and he was dragged down and chopped up in the end. He had been a bandit for many years, and he didn't know how many innocent people died at his hands. It would not be wrong to kill him a hundred times.

Afterwards, Zhang He told the people present not to leak the news, pretending not to know about it.

It's not Wanjia's opponent yet, so it's better not to startle the snake. Once the two sides tear each other apart, Wanjia will become angry and attack Qifengshan directly. At that time, he really won't be an opponent.

"Fat Hu, you caught the man. If you like this big knife, you can use it."

Zhang He lifted Jiang Tianba's big ring knife, weighed it, and handed it to Fat Tiger.

"Thank you son!"

Fat Tiger held the big knife that was as tall as him in both hands, and slashed a few times in front of him, making noises, feeling very satisfied. He thanked him and went to herd the sheep with the big knife.

The sheep bought a few months ago now gave birth to five lambs, and the total number of sheep in the flock has reached ten, which gave Fat Tiger a great sense of accomplishment.

I just went through a big war, and there are many things today. Last night, several thatched houses were burned down, and they still need to be rebuilt.

It happened that the adobe bricks made by digging a pond some time ago have dried up and can be used to directly build a few adobe brick houses.

Old man Zhang asked around, found more than a dozen coolies who had experience in building houses, and asked them to be responsible for building houses, and they could eat a piece of fat every day.

In addition, dozens of people were selected to move bricks and mud, and the rest continued to dig ponds.

This time, I plan to build a house for a long time, so I have to pay more attention to it. First, the foundation is laid, and the walls are also required to be neatly built.

After dozens of people worked together for ten days, the first adobe brick house finally took shape at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

The whole body is built with adobe bricks, about two feet high, the roof is all covered with blue tiles, the doors and windows are complete, the inside is spacious and bright, and a few pieces of furniture moved from the bandit valley are placed on it, which looks grand and grand.

Against the background of the low and dark thatched sheds around it, it is definitely a mansion.

Old man Zhang walked into the new house, touched here, looked there, until now, he really felt like a master.

There are still a lot of adobe bricks left, and the old man Zhang directed the coolies to continue building houses, and everyone can live in adobe brick houses in the future.

However, these newly built houses are much lower, with only one floor and more than ten feet high, and the roofs above are also paved with fir bark.

For the guards and coolies, this is already very good treatment. They used to live in a thatched hut in their hometown.

Those who can live in adobe-brick houses are all from very well-to-do families.

It took several months to build the house, and now all the houses at the foot of Qifeng Mountain have been replaced with adobe brick structures, even the sheep pens are no exception.

At the same time, the pond has finally been dug. The total area is about two acres, and the deepest part should be two meters.

Since Jiang Tianba and his gang were wiped out last time, the Wan family has no follow-up measures, and everything seems to be very peaceful.

However, Zhang He did not dare to slack off at all. He practiced the unnamed exercises, "Thirteen Knives of Soul Chasing", "Wind Chasing Shadowless Step", and these exercises every day.

He has practiced to the eighth form of "Thirteen Knives for Soul Chasing and Death".

With his current level, even if he fights against the Master Si in good condition again, he can win without any tricks, and cut the opponent to the sword.

Coupled with the elegant and windy "Chasing the Wind without Shadow Step", it is estimated that it will be no problem to fight two hall masters.

During this period of time, Zhang He also had some understanding of the details of Wanjia through many inquiries.

Now the Patriarch of the Wan family doesn't take care of the housework very much, but entrusts these matters to the second son to take care of them.

It is said that the Wan family also has an eldest son who serves in the army in Dehua County, and his status is not low. It is even heard that the eldest son can perform immortal skills, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

In order to cope with the possible crisis, Zhang He made a special trip to Dehua County to confirm that the eldest son was indeed serving in the White Cavalry Army in the city.

The White Cavalry Army is the most elite army in Dehua County. There are only 500 cavalry in total. Those who can enter the White Cavalry Army are at least warriors.

After Zhang He inquired about the news in the city, he walked around the city and bought some materials.

He also specially asked a blacksmith to make many hollow iron balls with the size of heads. He planned to try to make a few cannon battles by himself, and he might get unexpected results.

After returning to Qifeng Mountain, he recruited seven more guards from among the coolies, making up the number to forty again.

There were men, women and children in the previous batch of team members. After several months of training, only ten people have mastered the first form of "Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing".

Moreover, these people who have successfully practiced are all young people, they should be younger, with more vigorous physiological functions, and more suitable for cultivation.

So the seven new recruits this time are all under the age of eighteen.

Recently, Zhang He tried to practice "Chasing the Wind without Shadow Step" and "Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Soul" together, and saw that the figure was agile and elegant, but the knife in his hand was extremely fast and fierce.

After a set of exercises, close your eyes slightly, carefully recall many of the shortcomings, and think about how to improve.

After a while, he opened his eyes slowly, and saw that old man Zhang was leading dozens of people back from Heishui Town, each of them was carrying many sacks or baskets with their hands on their shoulders.

What they brought back this time was all food.

Since the harvest of summer grains, the price of grains has dropped one after another. Taking corn as an example, from the highest price of ten yuan a catty, the price has been falling all the way down, and now it is only four yuan a catty.

In fact, everyone knows that when the grain is harvested every year, Wanjia will deliberately suppress the price of grain and take the opportunity to buy a large amount of grain.

When winter begins, the price will go up all the way, until the price reaches a peak before the next year's grain harvest.

Wanjia can take advantage of the rising prices and gradually sell the grain in their hands, earning a huge price difference from it.

But everyone knows that they know it, but there is nothing they can do. There are always some people who will encounter various difficulties, and they can only sell their grain at a low price at this time.

Similarly, ordinary tenant households do not have a few pennies to spend, and it is impossible to buy large amounts of food when the price is cheap.

It is difficult for a person who can't even fill his stomach to develop investment awareness.

Zhang He obtained more than sixty taels of silver from Jiang Tianba's bandit den last time, and now he took all of it out to store food.
