Chapter 208 Sustainability

Zong Xin nodded and said: "I do know how to use this kind of spell, but...it may not be able to change you into the emperor's life. The number of people's lives ranges from 1 to 100. The higher the number of lives, the more blessings. When the number of lives reaches 95, you can become an emperor." The emperor, so the emperor is called the ninety-five supreme, and 100 is the sky. My son-in-law can cast a spell to change your life number between 1 and 100, but I can’t guarantee how much it will become. If the number of lives is very small after the change, I'm afraid the Dugu Clan will be completely ruined in two or three years. If you're lucky, you can change to the 95th order, and then you can be the emperor."

Dugu Huang said: "What if it's higher than 95?"

"The ultimate human destiny is 95. The destiny is too high for mortals to bear. After changing the destiny, you will die immediately. So it must be changed to 95, and it can only be 95. One more or one less will not make you emperor." Zong Xin said: "Father-in-law, if you insist on changing your life, the poor monk will prepare to cast a spell for his father-in-law as soon as he arrives at Dugu clan."

"No no no, don't worry." Duguhuang felt a little depressed, and finally found a way to change his fate against the sky, but this method was too risky. Choose 100 out of 1, and it also depends on Zong Xin's mana.This probability is too small, it might as well be more likely to rebel directly.

Such a small chance is just a change of fate. If you want to be the emperor, you have to start a rebellion yourself.It is not worth taking such a big risk for the sake of fate, of course Duguhuang will not let Zong Xin change his fate for him.

But in fact, Zong Xin would not change his fate, and he couldn't even see that Duguhuang had no status as an emperor, so he just made up a random reason to make Duguhuang give up this idea.I really don't know what this old man is thinking. He is not young, and he is still thinking about rebelling and proclaiming himself emperor. If he is younger, there may be people who support him.

"Son-in-law, is there any other way to become the emperor?" Duguhuang had no other pursuit, but wanted to be the emperor once.The idea of ​​Duguhuang has existed for many years, and she hopes that someone can assist her to ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor.Today I can finally have a good chat with Zong Xin, so I hope the experts can give me some advice.

Zong Dao: "Being the emperor is the easiest, easier than earning 1000 taels of silver. After you return to the Dugu Clan, you immediately pull up the flag to rebel and become the king yourself, and you become the emperor. Isn't this the emperor? It's just that the country is a little smaller , and the Tang army will immediately attack the Dugu Clan. If you just become the emperor, you have already done it."

Zong Xin is right, he can establish himself as a king, he can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. The problem is that he has no land and no subjects. In fact, it doesn't matter. The key is that he will be killed immediately after proclaiming himself emperor. That is the most important problem that needs to be solved.

Duguhuang wants to be emperor, but he knows that there are many people who want to be emperor in the world today, and there are many outstanding ones among them.The Dugu Clan is powerful, and he still has a good chance, but Jiangshan cannot be secured by himself, and someone must assist him.It's not that the Dugu Valve is unmanned, it's just that their children are too individual.

Duguhuang really hated that giving birth to three steamed buns was more effective than giving birth to these three unsatisfactory guys.After all, they are sons and daughters, so they can't be remade.

"Husband, don't listen to my father's nonsense, he just thinks about it, and he doesn't have the strength to become emperor at all." Dugu Xingyue said: "Although the Dugu Clan is powerful, we don't have many troops. In fact, we don't have much money. Food. Unless my father starts a new stove, it is absolutely impossible for the Dugu Clan to become emperor. But he is too old to start a new stove, so we can only support one emperor to unify the country, and the Dugu Clan is at most It’s just a hero, and we have no other choice.”

Zong Xin nodded, Dugu Xingyue's words were true.No matter how powerful the Dugu Clan is, if they want to fight for hegemony, they must have military strength, and the Dugu Clan has the ancestral precepts that they must never fight for the hegemony of the world, and they are loved by the people because they cannot fight for the hegemony of the world.If the people of the Dugu Faction want to fight for hegemony, their power will become smaller and smaller, and eventually they will not even be able to hold the valve.

If you want to win the world, you must first win the hearts of the people.The Dugu clan is very popular, but it is precisely because they cannot win the world that they have the hearts of the people. This is what Duguhuang hates the most.

Duguhuang didn't speak anymore, he understood all these reasons, so although he wanted to form an army for so many years, he gave up hastily in the end.Because if the Dugu faction starts to form an army, it will lose the support of the people, and no matter how they fight at that time, they will lose.What's more, the Dugu Clan is in Jinling, and Li Jing can send troops to encircle and suppress them at any time. This is where Li Jing can rest assured that the Dugu Clan can't rebel, and if they rebel, they can be wiped out immediately.

Of course Duguhuang would not start a new stove, because that would be too tiring.Now, as the head of the Dugu Clan, he enjoys endless glory and wealth, and is loved by all the people in the world.Duguhuang is not stupid, he understands the truth, but he is a little unwilling.

Leaving Jinling South City, I immediately came to a field. It was very dark so I couldn't see clearly, but Zong Xin could vaguely see that the place was very empty, so empty that it was scary.

"It's... very quiet here."

Dugu Xingyue explained: "From here onwards, it is the sphere of influence of the Dugu Clan. It is surrounded by fields. The winter wheat has been planted and is only waiting for the harvest in summer. However, there have been some problems in recent years...the soil quality is getting poorer and poorer. , the Dugu Clan’s grain is not as much as before. After all, countless stones of grain are shipped to other places every day, and if this continues, it won’t be long before there will be no grain.”

Zong Xin knew that if a piece of land was not managed at all, it would be impossible to grow food.The Dugu clan has been growing food for decades, and they have been nurturing the soil.However, land still has its limits. If this continues, the land here will eventually collapse completely.

"What fertilizer do you usually use?"

"Manure, in addition to dead leaves, rotten wood, all imaginable fertilizers have been used, but the land is still getting more and more barren." Dugu Xingyue was also helpless. There was no way around it.The ancestors of the Dugu Clan had already thought of this, but if the people of the world wanted to eat, they could only grieve the land and hope that they would grow more food.

Zong Xin asked: "Let me ask, besides growing grain, does the Dugu Clan raise livestock?"

"One thing, not many." Dugu Xingyue said: "Husband, do you have a way to manage these lands? Because there are too many, we have no way at all."

"It's easy to handle, but you need to reduce the production of food, but I can guarantee that the land of the Dugu Clan will always be able to grow food." Zong said: "If that's the case, you circle a piece of land and don't grow food for the time being next year. This land must be It needs to be big, and then buy a lot of horses, cattle and sheep, and let them live in this land. After the grain is planted, the straw is useless, and the cattle and sheep will eat it. This land only needs to be raised for one year, and the animal manure will Bring the land back to life. In the coming year, change to another place to raise livestock, and continue to grow grain in the original place. Not only can the land be fattened, but also the Dugu clan can produce horses, cattle and sheep to increase income. Since it is a war horse, it is very useful in this era , the price is high."

"A good idea..." Duguhuang said: "Why didn't I think of it before? I used to use manure to treat the soil, but when I think about it carefully, it won't help at all. The cattle, sheep and horses must be allowed to live on this land for a period of time. In this way Only then can the land be brought back to life. But if the land is allowed to rest, many people will starve to death without growing food for a whole year. However, Master Zongxin’s method can be used. If the land does not produce food, we can raise animals, and the animals can still survive. Eating will not affect Dugu clan’s business and will not cause people to starve to death.”

Zong Xin reminded the dreamer that although this method would reduce some of the grain production, it would result in a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and the value of those things was far higher than that of grain.And it can also fertilize the land.If he had thought of this method earlier, Duguhuang would not have been anxious for more than ten years.

In fact, the grain production of the Dugu Clan has been decreasing because the land is becoming more and more barren. Although they have tried every means to manage it, they have to grow grain every year, and it is useless to manage it without time for recuperation.

"Husband, you are so smart." Dugu Xingyue rushed up excitedly, hugged Zong Xin and kissed him hard.

Zong Dao: "Sustainable development is the ultimate goal, and I am also for the poor and starving people in the world. The food of the Dugu Clan has always been the cheapest in the world. This poor monk admires it very much. Father-in-law, although you are not the emperor, but You are far stronger and greater than the emperor, so why bother with a chair."

Dugu Huang said: "Don't persuade me about this, this is my dream and goal, it's fine if you don't want to help me, I'll go find someone else."

These years, Duguhuang has worked tirelessly for this goal, trying every means to become emperor.But the result of every effort is not enough.It stands to reason that Duguhuang can live a very carefree life, but one must have some goals, otherwise life would be too meaningless.The reason why Duguhuang has today's cultivation is because he has always had a big dream.

Zong Xin asked softly, "Is your father always like this?"

"It's been like this since I was very young. In fact, he knows very well that he just can't let go. You don't have to worry about him." Dugu Xingyue has always thought that everyone in her family is very good, except for her father who is a little persistent. ...But my father's persistence sometimes feels too much, because he clearly knows that he can't succeed, but he just won't learn to give up.

"Then I don't care." Zong Xin said: "There is indeed a cat. I just saw the dark shadow of a small animal running past. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly. It must be a cat. It's rare~"

Zong Xin also found it quite strange, since he hadn't seen a cat for a long time.In fact, very few people keep cats. The biggest function of cats is to catch mice. The reason why people hate mice is because mice want to steal rice.In today's troubled times, how can most people have enough food for mice to eat?What's more, mice are a kind of delicacy for most hungry people. It is not the turn of cats to catch mice. Many people will catch mice for food.

There is too much food in the Dugu valve, if you don't keep cats, you may cause rats.It is nothing to eat a little grain, but I am afraid that it will pollute the grain and make people sick.

Because few people keep cats, Zong Xin likes them very much.Although Zong Xin prefers dogs, when it comes to cute cats, he is still slightly better.
