Chapter 85
It's just that I haven't been here for a while, and the plantation in the south of the city has changed a lot.
All the fields were clearly divided with half-man-high fences. The fields were connected and the roads were wide. Spiritual vehicles were running back and forth in the middle. Small sheds had been built in many fields, and the whole garden looked well-organized.
At this point in time, the seedlings planted in most places have already emerged. They look green and lush, and seem full of vitality at first glance.
Of course, there were still some disharmonious factors in the middle. Lin Qinghen didn't care about small things and he just turned a blind eye to them.
He knew that some people used the land to grow other spiritual plants, but he really didn't care.
If the people feel that other crops bring higher returns, then they can go ahead and plant them. It is a free choice. At least as long as they have a piece of land that can pay the required portion, that's enough.
Firstly, Lin Qinghen suffered no loss, and secondly, he knew that words were often useless and one had to let others try before they would know.
Among the known yellow-level spiritual plants, the ones I provide are definitely the most cost-effective. You won’t know the benefits until you suffer a loss.
In addition to this, there are a few fields in the garden that are particularly out of place. You can tell at a glance that the seedlings are dead and the field is gray.
Lin Qinghen came here today just for this.
The main thing is that some people built several layers of racks to try to plant more seeds. Yu Yinyin talked about this with Lin Qinghen yesterday. As everyone was unfamiliar with the process, things did not go well on the first try. After the racks were built, many of the seedlings that had already grown died.
After seeing this, some people from the Alchemist Association got angry and scolded the people, saying that this was the price for disobeying. Die Meng only found out about this later and immediately went to ask Lin Qinghen for help.
Lin Qinghen went to take a look today. He knew that there was someone who tried it first. The others all followed his example, but they all failed. This person persisted the longest.
The man who contracted the land felt a little embarrassed in front of him, as if he had let him down. He just called him "Young Master Lin" and before he had time to apologize, he heard Lin Qinghen accurately say his name and said "It's okay, don't be nervous."
The man was surprised: "Master Lin remembers me?"
Lin Qinghen replied: "Of course I remember."
What’s even more exaggerated is that he even remembered where the other person lived in the city and the approximate structure of his home.
There was no need to do homework in advance; he remembered it as soon as he saw it.
All the people were signed by Lin Qinghen. No matter how busy he was during that time, he insisted on this and never asked others to do it for him.
Given Lin Qinghen's photographic memory, he also wanted to take this opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the entire Tear City and these people.
That person didn't expect that Lin Qinghen still remembered a small figure like him, and he didn't blame him like others did, and he was obviously a little excited.
The people of Tear City all know that Young Master Lin is different from others. He is approachable and has a good temper. Even though he destroyed an entire piece of land, he was not angry.
"Well, I won't bother with that anymore. I'll just follow what Master Lin taught me." He scratched his head, feeling even more embarrassed. "I was greedy and ruined the seedlings I had planted."
Lin Qinghen didn't answer for a moment, he had already turned around to look at the scaffolding he had built.
Although it was a bit simple, it actually looked quite presentable. After he walked in, he felt that it was a bit like the greenhouse he had in his previous life. It was very neat and clearly had been well thought out.
"Your idea is good," Lin Qinghen said to him after reading it, "but there are a few things I want to tell you about the reasons for your failure. First, the plants were planted too densely, so there won't be enough nutrients."
He took a branch and drew small squares on the ground for the other party, meaning that he should separate them a little and keep each plant at a proper distance.
Then Lin Qinghen touched the soil on the shelf above and checked the depth.
"The proportions are correct, but there's too little soil on top. It needs to be at least this thick to support the growth of the spiritual plant," Lin Qinghen gestured to him and drew a line on the pole for him. "It's recommended that you build a maximum of two layers of shelves. If there are three or more layers, the soil won't be enough. And if there are too many, you won't be able to take care of it in the later stages."
It takes energy to tend to spiritual plants above the five-star level of the Yellow Rank. And if you want to build two layers of shelves and grow twice as many things, you need to put in a lot of effort.
Lin Qinghen knew clearly what he had raised; he could tell just by touching and feeling it.
But he did not give instructions right away and let everyone follow his own way. He wanted to let people try it first, so that the people could have their own ideas. If they were wrong, they would know to listen to suggestions. And he had to have a foundation before he could make improvements.
"Reinforce it. It's better to change the material of the shelf. This one is not good enough." Lin Qinghen stretched out his hand and shook the shelf again. "You will know after planting them. These spiritual plants have developed root systems. They react the most when watered with potions. If the shelf is not strong enough, it will be eroded by the roots and will collapse."
Replacing the material with stronger materials would be costly, and of course he had to pay for it himself.
Lin Qinghen also told this truthfully.
The man listened carefully and remembered it. Lin Qinghen glanced at him and said, "Don't be afraid. I told you when we signed the oath that if you make a mistake, you can try again. But there are so many problems to correct. If you still want to go this way, you may have to put in a lot of extra effort than others, and you may fail. Do you still want to try?"
The other person was a middle-aged man with muscular body, one size bigger than Lin Qinghen. But now he lowered his head humbly and obediently asked for Lin Qinghen's opinion: "Does Young Master Lin want me to try?"
"I certainly hope so."
"Then I'll give it a try!" The other man laughed. "I've worked as a farmer in the garden next door for half my life, and I've always followed other people's orders. Now I finally have a piece of land that I can decide for myself, and I want to do it my own way."
Because Lin Qinghen had arrived, a lot of people gathered around the land to watch the fun, all watching them talking. Lin Qinghen's attitude was visible to everyone.
"Then go ahead and try. I'll come back to see you in a few days," Lin Qinghen smiled at him, "If there are any problems, you always have Diemeng to help you."
He said this for himself and for everyone to hear.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Mu Jiu was also watching not far away. When he heard this, he shook his head, turned around and glared at his men.
"You guys are too impulsive. You are in a hurry to teach people a lesson. In the end, you are just making things difficult for Lin Qinghen." He shook his head and sighed, "Look for yourself, how do you win people's hearts?"
It turns out that the people of Tear City were so afraid of Lin Qinghen that they were as scared as if they had seen a ghost when they heard his name. Now they can't wait to line the streets to see him off.
But Lin Qinghen is more than just gentle on the surface.
When he came out of the field, Yin Jiuxiao heard him whisper to his men, "Keep an eye on him. If he needs anything, help him. Be nice. Just don't ask for anything too much. Satisfy him. Remember to build a good relationship. Among the major forces in Tear City, they trust us more. This is rare."
When we really achieve something, we will invite him to join Dreamland immediately."
Creative talents like this must be kept in our own hands.
Lin Qinghen also knew what most of the onlookers were thinking. At the beginning, not many people followed suit. Most of them thought about not trying it themselves, but playing it safe first, waiting for others to come up with something and then copying them.
But Lin Qinghen knew that things were not that simple.
There are many unstable factors in the growth of spiritual plants, and there are many detailed issues that need to be dealt with. It is not as easy as just putting up a shelf, adding a layer of soil and then doubling the number of plants. You cannot learn it just by looking at the surface.
This is really a patented technology to some extent.
There is more than one person who is preparing to apply for a "patent". Today, he not only went to see this one, but also met several so-called "heretics", all of whom are interesting.
One of them, instead of focusing on farming, tried to make some improvements on the farm tools.
He is an equipment refiner, but unfortunately he has poor talent and is currently only a two-star yellow rank. He usually makes a living by making some basic spiritual equipment. He is alone at home and wants to grow some spiritual plants to generate income, but he can only contract the smallest piece of land.
He was a little unwilling, and in order to make money and own a bigger piece of land, he tried to modify farm tools to use as auxiliary tools to help him farm.
Everyone has their own expertise. Lin Qinghen didn't know much about spiritual weapons, but after he went to see them in person, he found that this person did have some skills and his ideas were very outstanding.
This direction is clearly moving towards automation. Although it is only a sign at present, it is beyond his expectations.
"Very good, keep going," Lin Qinghen praised him after seeing it, "I'll contact the Tear City Refiner Association. If you need anything, you can tell them. You can also talk to the people from Butterfly Dream at any time."
The other party's eyes widened after hearing this reply: "Don't you think I'm unrealistic?"
"Of course not, I think it's very interesting," Lin Qinghen looked at him with encouragement in his eyes, "Keep doing it, I believe in you."
Lin Qinghen seemed to be born with the ability to inspire people. After he said a few words and gave some pointers based on his experience in his previous life, the other party began to look at him in a different way.
For Lin Qinghen, these people are his major gain from ignoring everything during this period of time and allowing the outside world to develop on its own. They are also an important step for him to implement his next plan.
The City of Tears has indeed been mobilized by him, but for now, each small family is still doing its own thing, and the small-scale peasant economy continues to exist in a different shell. To complete the next stage of transformation, the advanced must lead the backward.
It turns out that the City of Tears is a stagnant pool. Lin Qinghen couldn't tell who the "advanced" people here were at first, but now he can see that they all took the initiative to show up under such circumstances.
Next, he will "raise" these people like spiritual plants, give them the opportunity to incubate their creativity, and then use these people to lead a group of people.
Lin Qinghen knew very well that the household contract responsibility system was only a basic system, and there were many superstructures. His next step was to weaken the form of small family units and move to a more advanced production state to form a real industry in the entire Tears City.
Farming cannot be done in a scattered manner forever. The better, more stable and more efficient way is definitely to move towards intensive farming.
The current situation is just an initial stage. It is the beginning of letting everyone accept it little by little. Once they have tasted some sweetness, they will naturally believe what he says later, just like boiling a frog in warm water.
Lin Qinghen had been involved in poverty alleviation, so he was already familiar with the process. He first taught them how to farm, and his next step was to set up a farmers' cooperative - of course, in a similar form, and would make improvements based on the spiritual world.
The grassroots must unite everyone in a more stable way, further refine the division of labor and improve efficiency. As for where the handle is and why everyone is willing to obey - of course it is the higher returns brought by the improvement of "patented" technology.
Only when the entire industrial chain of Tear City is clear can this place truly and stably develop.
Lin Qinghen, Yu Yinyin and Lin Yunsi have all explained their thoughts to each other, but the two of them seemed to understand but did not fully comprehend.
The main thing is that this is a long-term plan, and Lin Qinghen has to take it slow. They don’t have this experience, so it’s normal that they don’t understand it now.
But Yin Jiuxiao understood.
Lin Qinghen sometimes felt that he was quite magical. His ability to understand was much better than that of ordinary people, so he could understand all this.
"Since Qinghen thinks so, then the wolf race can also be used at that time," he said. Not only did he understand, but he also provided some new ideas. "I roughly know how to arrange them."
The author has something to say: Lin Qinghen: From Xiaogang Village to Huaixi Village, who understands the responsibility of a poverty alleviation cadre?
Yin Jiuxiao: [Raise your hand]
