Chapter 389 In the era of practice, it also starts with farming?
"The environment in this world is really good."

The air is fresh, the climate is warm and humid, the sunshine hours are extremely long, and the forest coverage rate is more than 90%.

The mountains are good, the water is good, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Holding a hoe in his hand, Zhou Ming was working in the field. During the break, he listened to the ethereal birdsong and looked at the wild flowers on the hillside in the distance. He was in a happy and cheerful mood.

Then he looked at the beautiful girl beside him, while hoeing the weeds in the wheat field, he looked at himself with affectionate eyes from time to time.

The woman next to the girl checked the results of Zhou Ming's work, and nodded with satisfaction: "Shanhe, you are doing a good job of hoeing, the grass is clean, and there are more places than aunt's hoeing. You are still very good." Will work."

Hearing what Aunt Xia praised him for, Zhou Ming nodded lightly: "It's okay, I haven't done this kind of work for a long time, and my hands are a little raw." Otherwise, it would be better.

Aunt Xia smiled and shook her head, this kid is really not humble at all.

The girl's eyes shone brighter, she looked at Zhou Ming, and felt very happy, the mountains and rivers were even better than she imagined!

The villagers in the adjacent fields also became surprised when they saw this scene.

"Zhang Shanhe, didn't you say that farm work is done by women? Why are you also in the field?"

"Hey, Zhang Shanhe, you're doing a pretty good job, can you help out in auntie's field?"

"Zhang Shanhe, how are your injuries? Are you all healed?" A girl in another field asked concerned.

"Zhang Shanhe, Tian Nier wants me to send you a message, telling you to forget her and stop looking for her!"

"Zhang Shanhe, Tian Nier is not the only girl in the village. My Qiaoer is also good. Why don't you marry my Qiaoer? Seeing how handsome you are, my aunt won't accept your bride price." Another woman joked, It caused a lot of laughter.

"No, no, I saved Shanhe, he is my man now, none of you are allowed to snatch him!"

Xia Xiaoyan became anxious, and stared at the woman fiercely, as if she was guarding her private property, and even tugged Zhou Ming's hand, shyly said: "Shanhe, I don't accept your betrothal gift either..."

Zhou Ming had black lines all over his head.

Squinting his eyes and looking around for a week, in this hundreds of acres of land, all the farm work is done by women and girls who like to gossip, not a single old man.

And since he recovered from his injuries and appeared on the ground carrying a hoe, two of the three sentences these old and young women said were about him.

It's like a daughter country.

Why does this happen?

It is mainly related to the productivity structure of this world.

Half hunting + half farming.

Men are mainly engaged in hunting. In the endless vast forest, they hunt and kill animals to obtain high-nutrition meat and fur for keeping warm.

Women tend the fields at home, grow some food and vegetables, occasionally go to the forest to pick some wild fruits, mend and wash some clothes, cook and process food, and there are many and complicated things.

In this world, there are many sources of food, fewer natural disasters, and the existence of spiritual energy, so the general physique is relatively good, and the pressure of survival is not too great.

But that doesn't mean there's no danger.

On the contrary, there are many dangers, and the heartstrings must be tensed at all times.

One is the wild beasts in the forest, there will be some strengthened and mutated individuals, hunters call them "exotic beasts", the alien beasts are extremely powerful, their movements are strange, their attack power is high, their vigilance is high, and they are extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary hunters, It is not an opponent of alien beasts at all, and even powerful alien beasts will appear, and the tragedy of slaughtering a village has to ask monks to come and eradicate it.

The second is the monks themselves. There are few secular regimes such as dynasties and empires in this world. Generally, it is a powerful sect that controls dozens of large cities around them. These large cities manage the surrounding villages and towns, but They all belong to extensive management. There is no household registration and no perfect tax collection system. There is an army, but unless there are large groups of thieves with great destructive power, general criminal cases are ignored at all. Save.

As for the monks, there are decent monks and evil monks. The decent monks will not disturb the peace of those mortal villages. The evil cultivators are different, because there are many evil skills, and they may need 1 babies if they want to be quick. Heart or something.Or take 10 souls to refine magical artifacts such as soul-calling flags, and countless lives will be taken at every turn, and there is no upper limit on the number of people.

Slaughtering a few small villages, in the eyes of Xiexiu, may be nothing more than a small fight.

In addition, those strong men who are not considered monks also slaughtered a village to vent their anger... In short, compared to "people" who are elusive and hard to distinguish between good and evil, alien beasts A threat, not even a threat.

But there is no way, who made this world respect martial arts, and the weak prey on the strong.

If you want to live longer and prevent all accidents from happening, you can only make yourself stronger.

According to Zhou Ming's own cultivation speed, the system estimates that he may be around 30 years old, and his cultivation base will break through to the late stage of Qi refining, and it will be quite difficult to improve after that.

The lifespan of ordinary people in this world can probably live to be 100 years old... Only those who have reached the "hard core stage" will have a significantly longer lifespan.

If you can't reach the hard core stage, try your best, and you will probably live to be around two hundred years old.

Then, with Zhou Ming's extremely unfavorable qualifications in the system, the probability of breaking through to the hard core stage is almost zero.

"so what should I do now?"

"What can I do in a hundred years?"

"Do you really want to commit suicide and change to a new body?"

This is a question that Zhou Ming has been struggling with while working in the field these days, ignoring the comments of the women around him.

Looking at the dense and strong golden wheat seedlings growing in the field (golden wheat, a crop similar to wheat, it is called "golden wheat" after maturity, the grains are golden), never fertilized, never watered, only occasionally weeded Zhou Ming was quite surprised that weeds could grow like this.

After asking about the yield, Aunt Xia said: After the golden wheat matures, one mu of land can harvest about [-] catties of wheat.

Yields are a bit low, but they can be planted four times a year.

"Four...four times?"

Zhou Ming, who had a bit of an old farmer in his character, opened his mouth wide with surprise on his face.

The annual output is four seasons, 2000 catties per season, and the total output per mu is [-] catties. In this underdeveloped world of agricultural development, this is how it is done.

and many more!

"With repeated planting like this, the soil will definitely not be able to bear it, and I haven't fertilized it. After a few years of planting, the soil will have to be exhausted, right?" Zhou Ming said.

"Do you still know the power of the earth?"

There was a strange look in Aunt Xia's eyes, and she heard some words that she didn't understand popped out of the boy's mouth, so she said: "If such a piece of land has been planted for five consecutive years, it will be abandoned."

Five years?

Zhou Ming was even more surprised, and quickly asked, "Auntie, have you plowed the land during the five years?"

"Plowing, what is that?" Aunt Xia was puzzled.

"It is to let the ox pull the iron plow to plow the deep soil to the surface to increase the supply of nutrients."

"No, no, cows are precious. There are no two in the whole village. What is an iron plow? Is it made of iron? Iron is even more expensive. Ten catties of iron can be exchanged for a cow."

Aunt Xia said.

The iron in this world is not the iron in Zhou Ming's world, but a very strange substance. Not only does it contain less underground, it is also difficult to smelt, and the price is very expensive.

As everyone knows, when Aunt Xia said that iron is very expensive, another word popped up in Zhou Ming's mind:

Great steelmaking.

Find a large mineral deposit and use industrialized smelting methods such as blast furnaces to smelt iron and steel in large quantities.

Then produce high-efficiency and advanced agricultural tools in large quantities, make fertilizers, cultivate improved seeds, promote half-agriculture and half-pastoralism, and engage in large-scale planting...etc. Improve agricultural production methods, set off an agricultural revolution in the world of practice.

In addition, industries based on the iron and steel industry have great potential here. They can produce sophisticated weapons in batches and build them into an organized army. They can also develop the chemical industry and develop weapons of mass destruction such as gunpowder, muskets, bombs, and artillery. industrialized country!
Then attack everywhere, crush those sect forces, and dominate this plane!
The system immediately stopped this idea: "Host, this plan is not feasible. The size of this plane is beyond your imagination. Even if you give you 1 years, you don't even want to unify this plane."

"Also, your main task is not to conquer this plane, but to assist the system to analyze this plane. Except for the whole journey of cultivation, other methods can only be a waste of time."

Zhou Ming said: "Why are you wasting time? When I destroy those sects one by one, and collect all the pills, spirit stones, and superior exercises, won't I be able to speed up my cultivation speed?"

"Host, you underestimate the strength of those practitioners too much. It is not as easy as you say to destroy a sect. According to system estimates, the strongest blow released by the strongest person in this plane can Destroy the moon of your world."

Destroy... the moon.

Fight back?
Zhou Ming was dumbfounded. Such a strong man can be called a humanoid self-propelled nuclear weapon.

Even exaggerated!

This also dispelled most of Zhou Ming's idea of ​​crushing this plane sect with industry.

But even so, the system still hasn't dispelled Zhou Ming's idea of ​​farming in this plane.

After all, the prospect is too tempting!
"A piece of land, with only the initial soil strength, can allow golden wheat to be harvested 20 times in a row. The yield is quite high, and it can be planted for four seasons a year..."

"Is there a more magical land than this?"

"It would be a waste not to engage in farming here!"

Thinking of this, and looking at the dark land under his feet, Zhou Ming swung the hoe more vigorously. The farming experience in countless dungeon experiences has become a special factor flowing in his blood, causing him to Every time I see the land, I feel an inexplicable kindness and joy in my heart.

Seeing the host's hunger and thirst, the system had no choice but to express helplessness. Anyway, the host's disease is incurable. This is the age of cultivation, and they want to start farming?
