Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Through Everything.

Wolong Island is as peaceful and leisurely as usual.

The information here is relatively closed.

Most of the cultivators on the island are casual cultivators in the Qi training stage, and they are not aware of the internal affairs of the Jinyang Sect.

They only know that the Nangong family has exchanged territories and a new Chen family has come.

The collateral descendants of the Nangong family have all been ordered to keep their mouths shut, doing things well and not causing trouble, so as not to affect the relationship between the Nangong family and the Chen family.

In fact, it is just a burden thrown to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan knows this very well, but he remains calm.

These low-level cultivators have limited potential.

Even if they are not very useful, they are still familiar with governing the island and maintaining operations.

Chen Xuan took Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing to travel around Wolong Island.

It must be said that the Nangong family has done a good job for thousands of years.

The spiritual veins on the island have all been developed to the extreme, and all kinds of spiritual fields and fertile fields have been reclaimed.

There are only a few corners left, which are not of much value.

Even the Xingyao Stone Mine has been developed almost completely, leaving only some veins of poor quality.

No wonder they are willing to exchange with the sect for a spiritual mountain of the same level.

Chen Xuan has no complaints about this.

The disciples of the Battle Array Hall accepted Chen Xuan's consolation gift and were very motivated to do things.

On Wolong Island, the Wolong Market, which was built in the core area, was full of notices to reassure the people.

City defense teams and law enforcement teams were established one after another to maintain order in Wolong Market.

The seven counties and seven mortal cities on the island have a smooth transition, and no one dares to make trouble.

Chen Xuan took inventory of Wolong Island.

A small top-grade spiritual vein was built into Longxing Mountain Villa for family monks to live and practice.

Two small medium-grade spiritual veins, one was built into Wolong Market, and the other was built into a spiritual plant garden.

The remaining seven micro spiritual veins were all reclaimed into spiritual fields.

There are about 3,000 casual cultivators living in Wolong Market, of which 60% are spiritual farmers, 30% are spiritual fishermen, and 10% are engaged in market business.

There is no foundation-building cultivator, and most of them stop at the middle stage of Qi training.

Originally, there were two foundation-building casual cultivators, who followed the Nangong family to withdraw because they were afraid of suspicion from the new cultivation family.

The entire Wolong Island has opened up 12,000 acres of spiritual fields, of which only 500 acres are high-quality spiritual fields, 2,000 acres are medium-quality spiritual fields, and 9,500 acres are low-quality spiritual fields.

One acre of low-quality spiritual fields produces 200 kilograms of low-quality chalcedony rice per year, which is worth seven spiritual stones.

A spiritual farmer generally rents about 20 acres of low-quality spiritual fields, bears the cost by himself, and pays 40% of the harvested spiritual rice to the Nangong family.

It seems that there is an income of more than 80 spiritual stones, but after deducting the cost and paying the rent for the house in the market, it is very good for the whole family to eat a meal of spiritual rice every day.

If they have more children, they have to go fishing and hunting in their spare time to make a living.

As for the spiritual fishermen, no matter how much they catch, they are not allowed to sell it privately. All of them are purchased by the shops set up by the Nangong family in the market at 60% of the market price and sold uniformly.

For the other shops opened in the market, in addition to paying the shop rent, they also have to pay taxes according to the income ratio.

Spiritual field rent, market rent, shop taxes, mineral vein income, etc.

In a year, the Nangong family can receive about 200,000 spiritual stones.

It seems a lot, but they have to pay 100,000 spiritual stones in taxes to the sect every year, and they have to support the cultivation expenses of seven foundation-building monks and more than a thousand Qi training clansmen. In fact, it is barely enough to maintain it, and it is also stretched.

After reading the income and expenditure account book, Chen Xuan shook his head.

A month later.

The people of the Jade-faced Queen Bee once again exceeded 100,000, forming a new army of poisonous bees.

Chen Xuan took Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing to inspect the farmland next to a mortal city.

The accompanying county governor was a Nangong branch, named Nangong Lin.

He had inferior spiritual roots and only had the first level of Qi training.

Even this first level of Qi training was piled up with elixirs.

Seeing Chen Xuan taking him to the farmland outside the city, he looked nervous.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to take a look."

Chen Xuan asked gently: "Nangong Lin, do you know the output of these farmlands?"

Nangong Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, there are 1.2 million acres of farmland in Luoyang County. Adult men are granted 40 acres of land, and women are granted 15 acres. Each household can be granted 55 acres of land. Each acre of good land can produce 200 kilograms of grain."

Chen Xuan nodded.

It must be said that the Nangong family has been operating on this island for thousands of years, and they are quite methodical.

"Do the people have enough to eat?"

Nangong Lin said cautiously: "Wolong Island has a unified grain tax of 50-50. If you are diligent, it should be enough."

An adult consumes only 300 to 400 kilograms of grain a year.

Five thousand kilograms of grain a year is theoretically enough for a farmer's expenses.

"Take me to the largest field nearby."

Chen Xuan brought Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing and followed Nangong Lin to the edge of a field.

This field is 300 acres and full of green.

"Elder Jiang, what do you think of this farmland?"

Jiang Liguang is a spiritual plant husband. He only took a quick look, picked up a handful of soil, and put a little in his mouth to chew.

"It's not fertile enough, so it can't be considered a good field. It's good to harvest 200 kilograms per mu."

Chen Xuan looked at the farmers working hard in the field. They were pale and thin, and their clothes were not enough to cover their bodies.

Fortunately, they were in good spirits and didn't have that kind of hostility.

Maybe, a good harvest is in sight?

The village elder came tremblingly, carrying a cane, accompanied by several young men.

Chen Xuan sighed.

He asked about the villagers' living conditions.

As he expected.

It was not too bad, but it was just enough to keep them fed and clothed.

The government administration cannot be said to be as clear as water, but generally speaking, they did not do anything too out of line and exploited them to a limited extent.

Nangong Lin, who was standing by, looked nervous, fearing that the village elder would complain.

Chen Xuan asked, "Old man, you have lived here for many years. Have you ever seen wild rice fields?"

The village elder thought for a long time and told Chen Xuan that there seemed to be some wild rice fields growing in a mountain swamp thirty miles away.

Chen Xuan was overjoyed to hear this.

He handed a bottle of spiritual honey to the village elder and told him to mix it with warm water before drinking.

He raised the cloud shuttle, rolled up Jiang Liguang, Jiang Yingxing, and Nangong Lin and flew over.

The villagers were stunned and knelt on the ground, calling it the descent of gods.

Nangong Lin was also puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

"I'm looking for a special kind of wild rice."

"Oh."

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum!

Nangong Lin said no more.

As for the special wild rice, I just think that the adults' thinking is wild and unrestrained, which cannot be guessed by ordinary people.

He has been the county magistrate for many years and has always paid attention to farming. He has never heard of any special wild rice.

Soon, he found the mountain swamp mentioned by the village elder.

Sure enough, there was a wild rice field.

Compared with normal rice, this wild rice has few and small grains, and it will fall off when touched.

Chen Xuan summoned 100,000 poisonous bees, covering the sky and sweeping towards the wild rice field.

After half an incense stick, Chen Xuan showed a happy expression.

He communicated with the Jade-faced Queen Bee through his divine thoughts and asked her to mobilize 100,000 poisonous bees to find naturally sterile wild rice.

In this wild rice field, four naturally sterile wild rice plants were found.

"Nangong Lin."

"I'm here."

"Pass the order down, find all the wild rice near Luoyang County, and don't move rashly."

Chen Xuan said happily: "Anyone who provides the location of wild rice will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Yes!"

Nangong Lin didn't know why Chen Xuan valued that kind of wild rice so much, but as a subordinate, he still implemented it vigorously after receiving the first order from his boss.

Soon, Chen Xuan found more than a dozen wild rice fields near Luoyang County, and used the poisonous bee army to find seventeen sterile wild rice plants.

"Only twenty-one plants, a little less. But it's barely enough."

Next, he directed Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing to conduct hybridization experiments.

Twenty-one wild rice plants were placed in the test field and carefully cultivated.

Jiang Liguang kept using the Spirit Rain Technique and the Induced Birth Technique.

Such spiritual plant techniques are more effective for lower-level spiritual plants.

And wild rice is just a secular plant.

In just one month, twenty-one wild rice plants began to divide into eight hundred plants.

After the eight hundred wild rice plants bloomed, Chen Xuan commanded the Jade-faced Queen Bee and led elite soldiers to pollinate these wild rice plants.

More than ten days later, eight hundred wild rice plants grew successfully and harvested more than 100,000 precious rice seeds.

Three months later, the third-level island protection formation was completed, and Master Chu and Master Tian led their disciples to leave.

After Chen Xuan held a farewell banquet, he turned around and devoted himself to the cultivation of hybrid rice.

Under his guidance, Jiang Liguang finally matched the sterile, maintenance, and restoration varieties, and successfully cultivated three-line hybrid rice after many experiments.

Looking at the fruitful hybrid rice in the experimental field, Jiang Liguang was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Jiang Yingguang had been taking notes beside him, and at this time he was also curious to check the fullness of the rice ears.

"Elder Jiang, how much can this rice seed yield per mu?"

"At least 500 kilograms per mu. Moreover, there is still room for improvement."

After Chen Xuan's explanation, Jiang Liguang has understood the principle of hybrid rice.

As long as he persists in the experiment, the advantages of the rice seeds harvested will become stronger and stronger.

"Sir, it is not easy to make rice seeds."

Jiang Liguang was a little worried while happy.

"This is not difficult to do."

Chen Xuan told him that he could set up breeding fields and seed production fields separately, and hybridize and produce hybrid rice seeds with hybrid advantages by transferring pollen from the restorer line to the sterile line to produce pollen.

This seemingly tedious work is not too easy for Chen Xuan, who has 100,000 poisonous bees.

Chen Xuan called Nangong Lin to promote hybrid rice in Luoyang County.

All the wealthy families in the county must allocate 10% of their farmland to plant hybrid rice seeds.

Nangong Lin did not say a word about this.

All the noble families in Luoyang County are collateral branches or marriages of the Nangong family. How can ordinary mortals resist the orders of a cultivation family?

"Please give this rice a name, sir."

Jiang Liguang reminded.

He could predict that this rice would be popular in the world and would do great deeds.

A rice variety that can increase rice production by three times, even if it tastes a little worse and has a slightly strange taste, is still white rice that can fill your stomach!

"Let's call it Yuanzu Rice."

Chen Xuan said with a pious face.

I will always be grateful to the grandfather who made immortal contributions to the cause of mankind.

"Yuanzu Rice? Yes, sir, I will promote this Yuanzu Rice."

Nangong Lin did not understand the meaning of the name of this rice, but still obeyed obediently.

Chen Xuan smiled.

Patting Nangong Lin's shoulder gently, he said, "Nangong Lin, don't be nervous. Soon, you will become a famous minister who will be remembered for generations."

In one year at most, the yield of Yuanzu rice will make the mortals on Wolong Island drop their jaws, from resistance to rushing to it.

After Nangong Lin left, Chen Xuan said to Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing, "Are you ready? Our career has really begun now."
