Survive through the ancient apocalypse

After the beginning of spring in March, Ye Mingze did not distribute the income from going to sea every time as before.Grain continued to be bought, but the proportion was reduced.All I bought were coarse grains, and most of them were easy-to-preserve corn.

By the beginning of May, in the past two months, I had made a total of 100 taels of profit from fishing.Excluding the 16 taels of silver spent on buying five thousand catties of coarse grains, there are 84 taels left.Adding in the twenty or so taels left over from the original house, Ye Mingze still had 100 taels of silver on hand after excluding expenses.

He intends to find some sentinel guides again.People's City in Yangshan County is even more lively than the last time I came here.After one winter, there are more and more people who can't survive.The more people there are, the lower the price will be.Last time a strong laborer asked for six or seven taels, this time it was only four or five taels.Young women only need three or four taels, and children are even cheaper, and most of them are sold as heads.

This time Ye Mingze did not ask the middleman to help find someone with strong strength. With the blessing of Jiang Jingzhi's spiritual power, he can already distinguish the same kind with his amplified senses.From the identified people, he selected five who gave him the strongest feeling and the least burden. Jiang Jingzhi did the same, and selected seven guides with stronger spiritual power.Half of these people are single, the rest are only a family of three, and the rest are two people.

This time there were 19 people in total, including five sentries and seven guides, and they spent a total of 70 taels of silver.In this way, Ye Mingze only had 30 taels left in his pocket, which was a waste of money.

For this group of people, Ye Mingze planned to let them open up wasteland first.There is still a lot of wasteland near the back mountain in the north of the village.There is no need to pay taxes on the wasteland for three years, but it doesn't make any difference to Ye Mingze.His main purpose of clearing wasteland is to save money.Land reclamation does not require money, you only need to get the land lease within three years.He can completely reapply for the contract in the third year.The cost of wasteland is one tael per mu, which is much cheaper than fertile land.What he needs most now is money, and he can save as much as he can.

After placing these people in Jiang's house, the house was overcrowded immediately.Let's make do with this first, and after a while, he will get up and enter the courtyard to divert the crowd.

From this day on, Ye Mingze forced everyone in the Ye family to start exercising, including his parents, younger siblings and Jiang Jingzhi, none of whom were spared.Those sentinel guides became the focus of attention.

Changes have also been made to the personnel who go to sea.Take only one sentry each time you go to sea, and match it with a guide.The guides are under Jiang Jingzhi's management, first teach them how to use their abilities.After they got used to it, they started to use it and found that the effect was not as good as Ye Mingze expected.Considering that the most powerful characters in those novels are combined sentinel guides, he will understand.He and Jiang Jingzhi are considered to be in a combined state, so they have achieved the effect that one plus one is far greater than two.But although the effect is not as good as expected, it is still effective, isn't it?

Although these sentinel guides were selected from the most capable people in the city at that time, there were still differences between their strengths and weaknesses.Ye Mingze felt that he and Jiang Jingzhi were stronger than these people.This is also considered a blessing.After careful observation, the bodies of everyone in my family and my uncle's family have changed.It's just that their husband and wife and first cousin are the most capable, and the others have changed to varying degrees, but the range is very small.I can't feel the nerves at all.

Ye Mingze collected the physical conditions of the people in Yejia Village through different channels, and found that all of them really had mutations.In addition to the three of them who had obviously grown in strength, there were also two people, Lu Cheng and Ye Mingxuan.

The remaining ten sentries and ten guides were matched one by one and arranged to open up wasteland.All sentinel-guide combinations are left to their own choice. Compared with Ye Mingze's forced combination, such a free combination will at least have much less contradictions, and naturally the efficiency will be higher.

The senses and physical fitness of these sentries have been enhanced by at least half, and with the blessing of the guide, after the ability has been increased by half, the strength and the like are more than twice that of ordinary people, and the efficiency of opening the ground is simply amazing.It's a pity that the spiritual power of the guide is not strong enough, and the duration of each blessing is relatively short, and then you have to rest for a long time before the next blessing.Of course, the guide boosts the sentry while working.

Ye Mingze has done an experiment. Whether a guide's mental power covers one sentry or ten sentries, the mental power he consumes is the same, and the total amount of increase is the same. If he blesses ten people, each person can get one-tenth of the guide's spiritual power increase , the physical improvement rate is the same.Of course, due to the different physique of each sentinel, the amount of improvement brought will naturally be different.

Now these guides can't do unequal blessing.Every time the mental power is emitted, the density within the radiation range of the mental power is the same.You can try to practice in this area in the future.

With such efficiency, after more than ten days, a total of more than 100 mu of wasteland was reclaimed.In May, most people have already finished spring sowing.The Ye family only had one cow, and the four families used it together.Ye Mingze decided to rent cattle from other people in the village.Every time an acre of wasteland is reclaimed, it will be plowed deeply with cattle, and other ordinary servants will then plant seedlings.

These seedlings were grown later.This batch of seeds has undergone a simple disinfection treatment, so the chances of growing bugs should be reduced.The wasteland is relatively barren, and his family does not have so much fertilizer.Ye Mingze sent people into the mountains to pull humus, and spread a thin layer of humus on every mu of land.It is expected that the output will not be too low.

Ten pairs of sentinel guides can reclaim about ten acres of wasteland a day.After six days of work and one day off, about 250 mu can be produced in one month.Based on Ye Mingze's idea of ​​a maximum of 1000 people, at least 20 mu of land is needed to feed them.The wasteland from the north of the village to the back mountain is exactly the same number. It takes almost eight months to complete the uninterrupted reclamation by [-] people.

Before mid-June, a total of more than 350 mu of wasteland had been reclaimed, all of which were planted with grain.After mid-May, all the fruits such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts are grown in the ground to prevent late ripening and being crushed to death by frost.

For the fields reclaimed after mid-June, only some vegetable seeds with strong cold resistance such as radish and cabbage can be sown.

There is no drought in Yangshan County this year, and there is sufficient rainfall, but the temperature is relatively low.At this time last year, the temperature was several degrees higher than in previous years, but this year it was just the opposite, resulting in slow growth of grain.

After entering July, floods occurred in a southern state, and the number of casualties was not large.It's just that the golden grain fell to the ground, and after being soaked in water for a few days, it began to mold and germinate.This season's grain harvest is almost complete.Fortunately, it is no problem to grow two crops in the south, and even warmer places can even grow three crops.

Farmers in the disaster-stricken area put away their sadness and hurriedly planted a new season of grain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a drought in the northwest. Even the water for people to drink was strained, and the crops were naturally neglected.The fleeing crowd began to appear slowly.

The disaster-stricken local government was busy with disaster relief, but unexpectedly the imperial capital was hit by another earthquake.The epicenter of this earthquake was close to Didu, and its magnitude was seven or eight.The disaster in the imperial capital was quite serious, many houses collapsed, and countless people were killed and injured.

Where is the imperial capital?If you grab it casually inside, you may catch a noble person.In this earthquake, several children of the imperial family died, not to mention ministers.The emperor was lucky enough not to die, but being alive was not much better than being dead.The children of the royal family needed to be appeased, the dead concubine needed to be mourned, and the affected subjects needed to be treated. They were so busy that they could not wait to go with them.

The emperor of this generation is quite diligent and promising, but he is more unlucky to encounter such troubled times.With the full cooperation of him and the remaining ministers who were still alive, the imperial capital was fortunately free of another epidemic.Just to treat the disaster victims in the imperial capital, the treasury's money has dropped a bit.Coupled with the various disasters reported from various places, the country is powerless. It can only allocate a small part of the disaster relief money to each disaster area, and the local government can only find a way to solve it.

Yejia Village is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, so the earthquake can hardly be felt, and it is not affected by it at all.It's just that there are chaos everywhere, and it won't be long before this side will be affected eventually.

At the end of June, Yard No. [-] was completed.A group of people who bought Jiang's house and Jiang Jingzhi's nanny's family were arranged to live in it.

Ye Mingze kept buying people and food as soon as he had money.By July, there were more than 40 sentinel guides under his command.Sentinel guides have always been bought on a one-for-one basis.Soon, Yard No. [-] was full of people.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the fruit to ripen again.Candied fruit is being processed again.This time it wasn't just Ye Mingze and the others, his third and fourth uncles were also doing this together.Ye Mingze didn't care, he thought of the current situation at the beginning.

Ye Mingze called his uncle's family, and the two cooperated. His father and uncle were in charge of buying fresh fruits, and Zhang Bo was in charge of selling them.Yangshan County is still relatively safe, Ye Mingze still sent two pairs of sentinel guides to protect his father and uncle respectively.

I started late last year, but this year I can make candied fruit for three months.I believe that even if part of the supply is taken away by the third and fourth uncles, the earnings should be more than last year.

"What's going on here?"

"The third son of the Chen family went hunting in the mountains and was injured by a wild boar. Fortunately, he was alert and ran fast, so he only injured his arm. If he reacts slower, it's hard to say whether he can save his life."

"He is a top hunter in Yejia Village. He has hunted many wild boars before, but he has never been injured. Why did he get injured this time?"

"I heard that this time the wild boar is very strong and fast. It's really lucky that he came back alive."

"Who says it's not. It seems that you have to be careful when entering the mountains in the future."

"Hey, we don't have that ability, so we can walk around the back mountain. It should be fine."

"Be careful, don't let children enter the mountain."

When Ye Mingze heard the news, he couldn't help thinking deeper.All human beings have undergone mutations, have animals and plants also been affected?It is not known what causes these changes.Animals are roughly similar to humans, so what can happen to plants?There are too many possibilities to make a judgment.Without a specific way to deal with it, Ye Mingze could only continue to strengthen his own strength.

In the future, you have to be careful when going out to sea and mountains.Depending on the situation, the number of sentinel guides going to sea needs to be increased.
