Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Zhang He led 50 guards under his command, each of them pierced a bunch of zombie hearts with sticks in their hands, like a bunch of large candied haws.

More than ten meters behind them, there are hundreds of zombies, looking at the large candied haws in their hands, and howling.

A few guards with bows would occasionally turn around and shoot a few arrows into the zombie crowd, causing the zombies to squeak and scream.

The group of them kept a distance of more than ten meters from the group of zombies. If the zombies were discouraged, they would wait and shoot a few arrows, or simply throw out a few hearts.

When the zombies came after them with all their strength, they would walk a few steps faster, keeping a distance of more than ten meters.

Let these zombies always feel that if they work harder, they can eat delicious hearts.

Zhang He's family raised a group of zombie coolies, and they had a clear understanding of the habits of zombies. Generally, zombies' sensitivity to things twenty meters away began to gradually weaken.

Zombie hearts are the favorite of these zombies, followed by the hearts of other animals. As for the human heart, he has not tried it, so it is not good enough for the time being.

Fei Yujun Wei Huan saw that Zhang He used the zombie heart to lure the enemy, and slapped his thigh, only to realize that the zombies also like to eat the hearts of the same kind.

Zhang He and his team stop and go, and finally lure the zombies to the valley that has been ambushed for a long time.

The Feiyu army was obviously bullying the zombies for their lack of intelligence, the canyon was full of dry firewood, and they were placed under the noses of the zombies.

These zombies turned a blind eye, only seeing dozens of attractive hearts in front of them.

The rest was easy. Everyone threw their hearts into the crowd of zombies, causing a fierce scramble.

The guards took the opportunity to quickly withdraw from the canyon. When Zhang He exited, he threw a fireball, which ignited the firewood on the ground.

However, these zombies didn't realize the danger was coming, and they were still fighting for the heart on the ground.

At the same time, the Feiyu army, who had already ambushed, lit rockets above the canyon and shot into the canyon one after another.

The dry firewood piled up in the canyon, mixed with various kinds of oil, was quickly ignited, and in a short while, the entire canyon was turned into a sea of ​​flames.

And the zombies in the middle of the canyon, at this imminent moment, are still fighting for the heart on the ground.

Hahaha... a group of dead creatures without intelligence, no matter how strong they are, what can they do?

Wei Huan laughed complacently above the canyon.

Mr. Zhang, thank you for your help this time. I will send you the bow and arrow later.

Thank you General Zhang!

Zhang He hastily bowed and saluted to thank him.

Fortunately, this world will not be judged as treason just because of hiding a few sets of armor and weapons.

The royal power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not very strong, which was different from the centralized power in Zhang He's previous life.

The nobles of the dynasty were entrusted to various places and ruled their own one-acre three-point land, with extremely high autonomy.

The dynasties will not interfere in the internal affairs of the fiefdoms, as long as they remember to pay tribute regularly.

In the fiefdoms of the big nobles, many small nobles were entrusted according to this method, such as Dehua City and Zhaoling County, all of which were directly entrusted by Lu Bo.

The counties and counties here only represent the size of the territory, but there is no affiliation between superiors and subordinates. Everyone is directly controlled by Lu Bo.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty was not so sensitive to rebellion and the like. Originally, each fiefdom was equivalent to a small country.

Moreover, the most important resources are in the hands of the dynasty and the nobles, and it is useless for ordinary small landlords to collect a few sets of weapons and armor.

The Feiyu army won this battle, and they will definitely be rewarded heavily when they go back. Therefore, Wei Huan happily sent 100 bows and arrows to Zhang He.

Since the eradication of the zombies in Shangling Town, the zombies in the entire Dehua County seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and they can no longer be found.

The cases of missing persons that occurred frequently in some townships in the past have never happened again, and everything has returned to normal.

The army sent by Dehua City to investigate the zombies also all withdrew, which made the villagers breathe a sigh of relief.

But the total number of zombies found in these two times was only about 2,000, which was not even a fraction of the missing corpses.

Afterwards, Zhang He sent a group of guards to search all over the place quietly, but did not find any trace.

Things can only be like this for the time being, but Zhang He feels like a big rock is hanging in his heart all the time. He is afraid that when the zombies appear again, they will be unable to deal with them.

This time I got 100 bows and arrows from the Feiyu Army, and threw them all to the guards to let them practice more.

Bows and arrows are not very effective against zombies, but they are still very good against people.

And let Ma Gan supervise the training of the guards from time to time, and transfer the players who are too slow to progress to other rigid positions.

At the same time, the training of the 5,000 militia should also be strengthened.

However, during this period of time, the tenants in the entire Heishui Town were busy harvesting summer grain, and the militia training could only be suspended for one month.

In order to improve the soil, more than 10,000 mu of newly opened land last year were all planted with soybeans this year.

Because the output of new land is often relatively low, Zhang He also gave special care, and the land rent was reduced a lot.

In the first three years, only five catties of soybeans are required per mu of land, and the burden on the tenants will not be too great.

But in this way, Zhang He is not at a loss. Just the newly reclaimed wasteland can increase the income of 70,000 to 80,000 catties of beans.

Although a lot of food was invested in land reclamation last year, the reclaimed land can continue to produce returns.

In the past few days, tenants have come to pay rent and repay debts one after another.

Wei Peng and old man Zhang were overwhelmed, and the tenants who paid the rent formed a long queue in Heishui Town.

The faces of the tenants queuing up are filled with happy smiles. This year is a good year with good weather.

What made him even more happy was that he was lucky, and after living most of his life, he finally met a good boss.

Last year, I hired all the tenants to open up wasteland, so that they would not suffer from famine. This spring, I only charged 10% interest when I lent money and grain.

Including other land, Mr. Zhang has been busy for more than ten days, and collected a total of 200,000 catties of beans.

Since old man Zhang became a landlord, he had been throwing grain outside all the time, and this was the first time he had seen the money coming in.

When I am in a good mood, I go to the warehouse where the grain is stored every day to take a look, for fear that the grain will grow wings and fly.

In fact, this is only a small head. The real big head is in autumn, when the harvest is bumper.

Looking at the recovered beans, Zhang He knew that if these grains were further processed, they could generate greater profits.

Bean processing is nothing more than a few types, such as squeezing soybean oil, making tofu, sprouting bean sprouts, and making bean paste.

No one in this world has yet squeezed soybean oil. Now the oil that everyone eats is mainly animal fat, which is expensive and considered a luxury. Ordinary people cannot afford oil.

The oil content of soybeans is about 40%, and the remaining bean cakes are a kind of high-protein feed, which can be used by the breeding industry.

But in this world, even the sweet potato vines have been eaten up by people, and the livestock should not be able to get bean cakes to eat, and they will still be eaten by people.

Zhang He thought that pressing soybean oil should be a very good business.

As for the bean sprouts, forget it, the poor people in the Zhou Dynasty could eat wild vegetables, and they would not spend a penny on vegetables, even vegetables occupying land.

There are only a few nobles in Dehua County, and there are not many bean sprouts to eat, and bean sprouts are not easy to preserve, and they will go bad after being transported a few times.

There was tofu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but many tofu workshops regarded the craftsmanship of making tofu as a secret, and the profit of making tofu was still very good.

Making tofu is not difficult for Zhang He. He grew up in the countryside in his previous life, and he would make some tofu at home every Chinese New Year.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, I have already learned it.
