Chapter 328 Daily Farming
After flying back to Guobei County on his sword, a bold idea gradually emerged in Zhang Yang's mind.
Because he is under a lot of pressure now, he has to be bolder.
Ashes - the ancient law of death is not something that makes people shudder at the mere mention of it. Anyone who touches it will die.
In fact, what this thing is best at is making the whole world die slowly.
Without the world as a place to live, as a vassal of the world, no matter how much Zhang Yang jumps around, he will eventually die.
"The law of death will increase due to the salvation of evil ghosts or the salvation of the devil. So will it decrease due to the reproduction and prosperity of life? At the worst, it can be neutralized?"
Zhang Yang guessed this in his mind, and then he opened the main body of the Village Building Order. He first injected the fifty spiritual energies in the blue jade into it. Now he had 100% control, so he could use the warehouse space in the main body of the Village Building Order at will.
"If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Roads are the best channels for communication, material circulation, and personnel exchange. Since I want to put people first in everything, this point is absolutely indispensable."
Zhang Yang opened the large map at this time and first drew two thick straight lines from Guobei County to Qingzhou and Guobei County to Jizhou. These will be two major arteries.
Guobei County is a very important place. It is the mountain gate of Tianjianmen, so it must become the core, just like the capital of a kingdom.
Qingzhou and Jizhou are the places with the largest populations, so we must pay attention to them.
"The two forbidden roads are a total of 3,800 kilometers. If we calculate based on 100 units of Jindan-level spiritual energy for every 100 kilometers, a total of 1,900 units are needed. Wow, this is really a huge investment."
Zhang Yang felt very painful, but there was nothing he could do. Fifty cubic meters of spiritual energy was equivalent to ten thousand units of Jindan-level spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Almost one-fifth of it was gone in an instant. Who wouldn't feel painful in this situation?
But this is necessary.
After issuing the order to build the two forbidden roads, Zhang Yang called over four of his disciples, Zhu Ti, Ji Ming, Gou Dao, and Yang Yan.
"The four of you will each lead 20 outer disciples to form four shifts. You will take turns supervising the construction of these two forbidden roads every seven days. If you encounter any evil spirits blocking the road, kill them without mercy!"
The four men took the order and left.
Zhang Yang then allocated another 10 units of Jindan-level spiritual energy and drew two evil-repelling roads on the map, from Qingzhou to Beipo County and from Jizhou to Wagang County. These low-level roads were easy to build, but their effects were much worse.
The Forbidden Law Road is safer, and the cargo loss is only 5%, and the transportation speed is increased by 100%. The loss of the Evil-Repelling Road is 10%, and the transportation speed is increased by 50%.
This is the end of the road construction. It is estimated that it will be completed within ten days. After all, this is a road that is built using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If the speed is not fast enough, Zhang Yang will go crazy.
Next, Zhang Yang implemented a bold strategy. He planned to start a 2,000-acre spiritual field project in Guobei County.
This is terrifying.
Two thousand acres of spiritual fields. From the perspective of an immortal cultivator, this is an extremely unreliable and cost-effective method.
But Zhang Yang had no choice but to do this for the bold idea in his heart.
By then, the spiritual rice produced by the 2,500 acres of spiritual fields will basically meet the daily consumption of 50,000 people.
For cultivators eating spiritual rice, it is at best icing on the cake, but for ordinary people eating it, it is like a timely help!
If people could eat the spiritual rice for ten years, the population in this Dharma-Ending Age world would definitely undergo a tremendous change.
But this is a very risky thing to do, because what if the ancient law of death is not affected by the new life at all? If Zhang Yang does this, he will be trapped, and it will be an eternal iron cage!
Besides, this is not a easy thing to do.
Don’t underestimate the road construction. Zhang Yang can complete it by drawing a line on the map through the village construction order, but the spiritual fields cannot be cultivated quickly.
Or even if the land could be reclaimed quickly, Zhang Yang did not have that much capital.
Because the cost of quickly reclaiming one acre of qualified spiritual field is 100 units of Jindan-level spiritual energy, and two thousand acres is 200,000 units, which is something Zhang Yang cannot do even if he works himself to death.
So this task must be done skillfully.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang had a complete and perfect manual for laying out spiritual fields, which was the method used when Guanshan Town laid out the 500 acres of spiritual fields.
"The first step is to have a spiritual spring. This is easy. If the Nie Xiaoqian Well in Guobei County is upgraded to a higher level, this condition can be fully met."
"Then the second step is to find an open area of land. First, dig the cultivated soil to a depth of ten feet. Then collect large bluestones, preferably with fine texture, no cracks, and a side length of more than one meter. Spread them underground as the first layer of the spiritual field."
"Then the third step is to set up a soul-sealing formation, or a soul-sealing restriction, to ensure that the spiritual energy will not leak out."
"The fourth step is to spread a layer of warm jade on top of the soul-sealing formation, and then add a one-meter-thick layer of rootless soil."
"The fifth step is to add a ten-foot-deep layer of cooked soil, water it with spiritual spring water, and use magic power to grind it carefully to kill all weeds and insect eggs. Finally, it needs to be dried under the sun and moon for eighty-one days. At this point, the spiritual field is complete."
Zhang Yang sighed. He had neither the big bluestone nor the warm jade in his hand, and the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was already in the Dharma Ending Age, so it was even more impossible to have them.
So the only way is -
Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the dim stars in the sky. Those were worlds that had entered the Dharma Ending Age. Some were even worse than the world in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, but some had just entered the Ash Cemetery, where he might find the materials he needed.
But because the distance is so far, it requires an ultra-long-distance sword flight, and a round trip may take a year or even longer.
But if this is the case, he might as well stay where he is. After all, his portable spiritual vein can produce one hundred units of Jindan-level spiritual energy every day, which is thirty-six thousand five hundred units a year.
"Let's upgrade Nie Xiaoqian Well first."
Zhang Yang reserved 5,000 units of Jindan-grade spiritual energy for the two thousand acres of spiritual fields plan and went straight to Nie Xiaoqian Well in the west of the city. Here, he began to upgrade Nie Xiaoqian Well from level 5 to level 6. This process required 100 units of Jindan-grade spiritual energy.
Then it's level 6 to level 7, which requires 300 units.
From level 7 to level 8, 500 units are required.
From level 8 to level 9, 1,000 units are required.
From level 9 to level 10, 1,500 units are required.
The upgrade process was quick, but Zhang Yang was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly.
However, the level 10 Nie Xiaoqian Well is also really powerful. It can produce 500,000 units of mortal-level spiritual energy every day, which is 50 units of extraordinary-level spiritual energy and 0.5 units of golden elixir-level spiritual energy.
It may seem like a small amount, but it is a long-term, safe and reliable amount.
As long as the civilizations of the Sky Human Race and the Sky Demon Race exist, and as long as that virus does not defeat that antivirus hunter in the fifth sequence, this Nie Xiaoqian Well will be able to output forever.
In addition, 500,000 units of mortal-level spiritual energy is really a lot.
According to Earth's standards, a middle-class family of three consumes only 10 units of mortal-level spiritual energy every day.
Therefore, these 500,000 units of mortal-level spiritual energy can roughly meet the daily needs of 150,000 people.
Of course, it also needs to supply spiritual fields, the Tianjian Sect's Sword Valley, and the disciples' training. Even so, Guobei County can still accommodate 10,000 people.
"Interests determine the camp. From this point of view, the antivirus hunters are definitely my allies."
