Chapter 160 Cultivate forces and send them all to the Immortal Palace
It was already noon when they left the Salesian Home. Xiao Ying took Ling Yun to have lunch first, and then went shopping.
They said they were shopping, but in fact they were buying pure alkali, which was also called stone alkali in that era.
I bought it to make soap. Although wood ash can be used, its purity is definitely not as good as pure alkali.
Pure alkali has a wide range of uses here, so it is not expensive. Xiao Ying bought ten kilograms at once and planned to go back and try it first.
It was almost time to return to the dental clinic, and the forty or so people had already purchased supplies and packed their luggage.
After taking the indentures of these people from the steward, Xiao Ying took his men away.
Then she went to the orphanage to pick up the four children, and the nanny gave her the household registration that had been processed.
She let several children ride in the carriage, and the children under the age of twelve in the group she bought also enjoyed the same treatment. Everyone suddenly felt more grateful to her.
Before leaving, Xiao Ying bought a new set of clothes for each of the four children, which made them all very happy.
After leaving the city, she walked for an hour before stopping. The area around here was deserted, with no villages or pedestrians, so it was very safe.
Everyone was exhausted, sweating and panting, but no one complained or expressed dissatisfaction. They were just worried about the future.
This was the scene Xiao Ying saw when she got off the carriage. She asked the children to distribute water bags, which contained spiritual spring water, which could effectively relieve fatigue.
"There are some things I need to tell you in advance."
While everyone was drinking water, she walked into the crowd. The crowd immediately fell silent and looked at her expectantly.
Xiao Ying said slowly: "I bought you back so that I can farm. Now I need to farm two plots of land, both in the mountains."
"One of them is a newly purchased place. I need to build a house and open up the land myself. The harvest will be slightly lower, but I can go to town occasionally."
"The other place has hundreds of acres of fertile land, with existing houses and higher yields, about double that of the former, with yields reaching up to 10,000 catties per acre. But people can't come and go as they please, and I estimate they won't be able to communicate with the outside world for at least several years."
"Of course, this place has a great environment, and living here for a long time can also prolong your life."
"Both places grow high-yield crops, so you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter."
"The income sharing is the same. You hand over 70% and the remaining 30% is yours."
"These high-yield crops are very expensive. One pound can fetch at least ten coins."
"So, now I give you a chance to choose. Where would you like to farm?"
She could have sent these people directly into the Immortal Palace, but she still gave them a chance to choose.
Everyone had already widened their eyes, especially when they heard the yield of 10,000 catties per mu. They all thought they were dreaming or hearing nonsense.
What exactly are the high-yield crops Madam is talking about? Are there really crops in the world that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu?
Also, where could someone actually prolong their life? Isn't that a fairy cave?
As for handing over 70%, they were all shocked at first, lamenting that they might starve to death.
Then I thought about the yield per mu and realized that I had gotten a good deal.
If we can really produce 10,000 catties per mu, then leaving 30% would give us 3,000 catties. If we plant 10 mu, wouldn't that give us 30,000 catties?
When they thought of this number, everyone's breathing quickened and sweat broke out on the tips of their noses with excitement.
Finally, the lady also said that the prices of these crops are very high, and one pound can be sold for at least ten cents.
They could no longer calculate how much money it was, they just knew that from now on they would never have to worry about going hungry again, and they didn't bother to think about anything else.
As for not being able to come and go freely and not being able to communicate with the outside world for several years, people don't really care.
They rarely left the village or the farm before, and the number of times they went to the town in a year could be counted. Having enough food was not as important as that.
Therefore, everyone quickly made a decision.
"Madam, our family is going to the place with the highest yield per acre!"
Madam said that the harvests in the two places are about twice as different, and anyone who goes to a place with less harvest is a fool.
"Madam, our family also wants to go to a place with high yield per mu."
There are fertile fields there, so they don't have to open up wasteland themselves, and the houses are ready-made, which means they can just go there and farm directly. What could be better than this?
"So does our family."
"So do we."
Not surprisingly, all nine families chose the Immortal Mansion, which made Xiao Ying very satisfied.
"Okay, then close your eyes and I'll take you there now."
In that case, there is no need to continue moving forward with these people.
Everyone was surprised. Why did he close his eyes? Could it be nearby?
However, they still obediently did as they were told. Xiao Ying moved among the crowd at an extremely fast speed. Wherever he passed, people disappeared in an instant, which shocked Ren Han and the other four children.
In an instant, everyone was sent to the Immortal Palace. Before Ren Han and the other three could come to their senses, Xiao Ying had already arrived in front of them.
"You guys can go too."
At that moment, Ren Han and the other three felt their hair stand on end and were terrified.
The person in front of her seemed to have become a man-eating monster, and anyone touched by her would disappear.
Then they felt dizzy, and when their feet touched the ground, they had already arrived in another world.
Xiao Ying sent the two groups of people to the spiritual field at the foot of the mountain and the teaching hall on the mountain respectively.
Ignoring Ren Han and the other three for the time being, she appeared in front of the people alone.
This time Ling Yun did not come in, but drove the carriage towards Chenjia Village.
"Husband, Madam...what's going on? Where is this place..."
Someone asked with horror in his eyes. It was a middle-aged man named Yang Tianli.
This man used to work on the farm and was quite strong, so he was also the bravest among them.
Some of the frightened people had already begun to sob quietly, and the children hid behind their adults, thinking she was a man-eating monster.
Xiao Ying spoke gently, "This is my secret space. You can just farm here without worry. Aside from not being able to go out for a short period of time, everything else is the same as the outside world, or even better."
However, many people are not only worried, but even more afraid.
This lady must be a monster! How else could she have such power and such a place? Will they never be able to leave in this lifetime?
If I had known earlier, I would have chosen to farm in another place. No, no, no, isn’t that other place also the place where this monster lives?
They shouldn't have followed this monster...but the other party bought them back, and they had no right to refuse.
Thinking of this, everyone became even more desperate. They didn't expect that they had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den.
Xiao Ying did not enlighten them, because they would know the answer after living there for a while.
She looked at the small wooden houses on the side and said: "There are ten wooden houses here. You can choose which one to live in. Seven families will live here, and the remaining three wooden houses will be used to store food."
Then he looked at the two pairs of brothers and sisters and said, "You guys will come with me to the other side of the mountain. There are also fields to be planted there. There are two wooden houses over there, one for each of you."
The four people she stared at suddenly felt a chill down their spines, as if they were about to be eaten alone.
