Zhang Mingtu was looking out when suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door downstairs.

Zhang Mingtu knew who it was without even looking.

"Come in!"

Zhang Fulin walked in, looking much younger than before. His hair had turned black again and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have been smoothed out.

Zhang Fulin looked a little nervous. He walked over to Zhang Mingtu, looked around, and when he saw no one was around, he whispered, "Mingtu, I feel like something's not right lately. Why don't you take some time off and don't go out anymore?"

As the only person in the Zhang family besides Zhang Mingtu who has entered the Zhenyuan realm, and as the guide of Zhang Mingtu's early cultivation, Zhang Fulin can be said to be dedicated to the Zhang family.

He was keenly aware that something was not right in Jiujiang County, and he took the initiative to come and tell Zhang Mingtu about it, hoping that Zhang Mingtu would keep a low profile recently and avoid any trouble.

"There are indeed some serious problems recently. Master Fulin, you have to pay attention to it as well. You also have to inform your family members so that they can pay extra attention as well."

Zhang Mingtu did not try to hide this matter too much. Anyone could see the turmoil. What he had to do now was to keep a low profile as much as possible.

"I've already told them to keep a low profile and not do anything rash."

Hearing Zhang Fulin's voice, Zhang Mingtu's heart suddenly moved again.

Now many situations have been confirmed. Basically, Daxia will point its spearhead at the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, so a war is inevitable.

For many people, this is an extremely painful and difficult thing to deal with, but for the Zhang family and many people, it is a huge opportunity.

"In such a huge change, shipyards, weapons factories, and food are the key among the keys.

"The shipyard is controlled by people from aristocratic families, and a large part of it is owned by the government. Ordinary people can't get involved at all. It doesn't mean much to me. The same concept applies to the weapons factory.

"The only useful thing is food. If we can seize this opportunity, the Zhang family might be able to accumulate a fortune that would take decades or even hundreds of years to accumulate in a very short period of time."

Zhang Mingtu had an idea, and the Zhang family moved with him from Jianyi to Jiujiang County. Moreover, the procedures of various chambers of commerce were completed one after another during this period of time, and they did not encounter any difficulties in the middle.

What happened next was normal. They transported goods from the south to the north, and then transported goods from the north to the south, quietly accumulating wealth like other businesses.

As long as they are given a few years, the Zhang family will be able to gradually grow into a behemoth, take root in Jiujiang County, and then become a new generation of wealthy and aristocratic families.

But now we have new opportunities and we don’t have to be as bound by constraints as before.

There has always been a saying in war that food and fodder must be sent before troops move out. Food and fodder are very important at all times.

In a real war, large armies are very useful, and they are also needed to rule an area after it has been conquered.

The army consumes the most food and fodder while marching, even more than ordinary strong men.

For ordinary people, eating one pound of dry food a day is already a lot, and soldiers who are really going to fight in a big war can even eat three pounds.

There is no doubt that food prices will rise wildly next.

“Unfortunately, if the army was deployed in its original state, it would definitely make a lot of money with the food. But this time, because of the Four Seasons Magic Array I created, as well as the Yi Wood Magic Array and the high-quality seeds, food can really be produced on a large scale at the corresponding base regardless of the cost.

"At this point in time, it's really impossible to make a fortune in this field on a large scale."

Although Zhang Mingtu has not received the notice yet, the top agricultural figures in Jiujiang County Agricultural College have not been recruited.

But with the court now paying so much attention, it won’t be long before the spies from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun will surface one after another.

Moreover, due to the remaining copies of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon and Snake, it was impossible for the imperial court and many figures in the Kingdom of the Sunrise to reach the so-called cooperation, and it was impossible to raise demons on a large scale in various places.

Even if the people of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun are willing, the people above will not agree and cooperation cannot be achieved.

Because the fundamental tone has changed, raising a few so-called demons is useful for many middle and lower-class families, but it doesn't mean much to the real upper-class families.

Because the best products of this land are already in their hands, any more demons will be of no importance to them and will only bring a little chaos.

However, the complete version of Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake is very important to them.

This is the conclusion reached by Zhang Mingtu and his future brothers after repeated verification.

"Alas, what a pity! I just ruined such a great opportunity to make a fortune."

Thinking about the technology that he invented and promoted on a large scale to greatly increase grain production, Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Forget it. This step had to be taken sooner or later. Who can fully predict what will happen later?"

Zhang Mingtu sighed softly. Even though he could predict a large part of what would happen in the future, the future situation was always changing. The overall situation was constantly turbulent and would not remain unchanged forever.

"At least many people can now have enough to eat, and their lives are much better than before. Being able to achieve this is enough to make people satisfied."

Although he thought so, Zhang Mingtu still wrote a line on the table in front of him.
