Shennong Sequence

Chapter 49: Blood-locking skill, the king of close combat injury exchange!
The main reason for inviting Gongshu Jia was that the smoke of war had already risen on the border, and all the garrisons located in the border states of Beiliang were stationing troops and making armor!

Although Wuyang Garrison was not one of the border garrisons closer to the north, it still needed to send troops to support and fight on the battlefield when the beacon smoke was lit.

In addition, due to the existence of the Minister of Agriculture, the soldiers of the entire Zhou Dynasty's garrisons were divided into two parts for farming and eight parts for garrison.

Two points of garrison soldiers, combined with the skills of the agricultural minister, are enough to provide food for the entire garrison.

The eight-point garrison soldiers are responsible for guarding the county wall, clearing out the bandits outside, and cooperating with some major operations of the county government, etc.

However, since the war had not started for many years, the number of garrison troops in Wuyang Guard was getting smaller and smaller, but the military farming was still barely maintained.

This is why Li Sinong, the logistics officer, is not in a hurry, while Commander Wang is swinging the whip vigorously and training the new soldiers fiercely...

Because there were many new recruits, they specially recruited Gongshu's craftsmen to re-forge sophisticated weapons.

However, Zhao Yun was penniless at the moment and could not afford to spend money, so he naturally could not hire a craftsman to make a good bow.

He just came to take a look at the forge, note its location, and then returned to the stable, avoiding the soldiers who believed the rumors and were hostile to him.

"Tonight, I will hold an advancement ceremony. If those soldiers dare to say a bad word about me, the Minister of Agriculture, I will make them taste the power of the whip to restore my dignity!"

After some time, Zhao Yun and Liu the Butcher prepared fodder for the horses at noon.

"Brother Liu, I have given the three pheasants to Li Zhiguang. When we get lunch, please help find Li Zhiguang and get back the two roasted pheasants. When we let the animals graze in the afternoon, we will take them to the greedy little fox..."

"Row!"

Butcher Liu patted his chest and agreed to the matter.

After feeding the horses at noon, Butcher Liu went to the kitchen to get some food.

When he returned, he was holding two bowls of rice and two pheasants wrapped in oil paper.

But when Butcher Liu saw Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but curse:
"Brother Zhao, your fellow villager Zhao Liang is a piece of shit! When I was on my way back with the roasted pheasant, he actually led some people to block me and tried to steal the delicious food."

"If it weren't for my great strength in killing pigs, I would have slapped him twice, making him dizzy and unable to find his things. I'm afraid they would have succeeded."

"However, you have to ask Old Man Sun to say a few good words for me, lest those soldiers use shady tactics behind my back to punish and hold me accountable. That would be very painful..."

"I'll talk to Old Man Sun when he comes back. I'll definitely not let anything happen to you!"

Zhao Yun nodded in response.

He looked at the pheasant wrapped in oil paper. The delicious oil had seeped out and the tempting aroma filled his nose.

However, Zhao Yun did not enjoy the roasted pheasant. He would have plenty of opportunities to taste it in the afternoon.

Afterwards, he and Butcher Liu enjoyed the meat noodles with oil floating on them, lots of large slices of meat, and some refreshing sauerkraut.

Eat with relish!

This feeling is much better than eating the coarse grains that were choking and difficult to swallow at home every day, and going to the toilet was as painful as having my intestines scraped.

During the lunch break, Zhao Yun saw Old Man Sun returning and hurriedly told him about the conflict between Butcher Liu and Zhao Liang.

Old man Sun smiled and said:

"Haha, didn't I tell you before?"

"In this garrison, the commander is only in charge of the soldiers."

"The magicians in the Taoist Hall are responsible for dealing with evil spirits and casting spells on enemy magicians, such as weakening our morale and combat effectiveness." "As for the logistics of food planting, meat, and war beasts, we are responsible for the agriculture department. Medicine is in charge of medicine, and forging weapons is in charge of Gongshu or Mohism, and so on. Everyone performs their duties and does not interfere with each other."

"They are soldiers, they have no right to control our people."

“So, if there is a fight, as long as no one is killed, just take the person to a pharmacy and have the doctor treat him.

"Besides, it's just two slaps, and your face is a little swollen, what's the big deal?"

Zhao Yun stayed here for a few days. Although he was rejected by the soldiers in front of him, there were books in Old Man Sun's house, and he could read them from time to time.

According to his understanding:

There are many logistical tasks, including farming and garrisoning. Although the garrison soldiers do the farming work themselves, the logistics officials are also required to perform magic on time and at fixed locations to promote growth, reduce pests and diseases, and increase yields.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to support the 80% of soldiers who had left their jobs with only 20% of the soldiers stationed on farms.

In addition, matters such as pharmacies and weapon shops are generally under the jurisdiction of the military agriculture department of logistics.

It can be said,
The commander in front of the garrison was only responsible for the soldiers who were engaged in farming and garrison, as well as the strategists he had recruited, such as the Legalists, Confucianists, and diplomats.

All food, clothing and other expenses are beyond his control.

The absolute military power has been restricted and weakened to a certain extent, and is restrained by decentralized management by multiple parties.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the army is powerful and occupies a dominant position.

Moreover, in terms of logistics, a certain amount of supplies is set according to the status of the soldiers and officers. As long as the materials requested do not exceed the quota, the soldiers' things will usually not be withheld...

Then Old Man Sun continued:

"After you come back from grazing in the afternoon, go and cultivate the remaining land at the back. When the moon is bright at night, you can perform the advancement ceremony with peace of mind."

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun has been frustrated and patient for such a long time, isn't it all for the rich rewards that this advancement ceremony can bring?
After he is successfully promoted to the 9th-level monk, his status and position will also be improved.

By then, what would that Niu Baihu be of any use?
What can the mastermind behind the scenes do to him?

Not only that, once you have strong power, money and other mundane things will naturally come rolling in...

"Thinking in this way, tonight is destined to be an extremely enjoyable night."

"The only person who might be sad about this is probably Butcher Liu..."

Neither of them was accepted as apprentice as they had agreed to be.

But who could have thought that Zhao Yun would turn around and embark on the path of cultivation? I'm sure Butcher Liu would be heartbroken and cry bitterly...

Zhao Yun returned to his room, lay down peacefully on the bed, and finally had a good nap.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Zhao Yun suddenly woke up from his sleep.

When he thought about the advancement ceremony that was about to take place tonight, he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"I don't know, after I advance to the ninth level of cultivator through the farmer's path this time, to what extent will my strength increase? What kind of magic power will I have? What kind of magic will I get?"

Zhao Yun is physically strong, and with the magical recovery ability of the origin point, it is as if he has an invincible blood-locking skill!

If there is anyone who dares to treat him as an ordinary farmer, then he can see clearly what the real king of close combat damage exchange is!
