Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 44 The Value of Human Beings

Chen Jing once had such a doubt: in a world full of super powerful individuals, what is the use of mortals?

That's right.

What is the meaning of the existence of these ordinary people in the world of cultivation?

Is it necessary for the Qingnang Sect to protect ordinary people?

On Earth, ancient dynasties protected the people because they could extract the people's blood and sweat, which was the main source of economic creation...

But the people in the cultivation world seem to be out of touch with the cultivation world.

Chen Jing felt that this was not just his own doubt, but a doubt deep in the hearts of many practitioners, because the current situation already revealed the practitioners' attitude towards the mundane world.

The nobles watched the common people being slaughtered and turned a blind eye.

The practitioners of small families only care about the ordinary people who are their blood relatives.

There are a lot of ordinary people outside the city who have no houses or ways out, and they are thrown here with almost no decent management.

This clearly reflects the attitude of the practitioners.

The few donations they received might have been because, after several generations, everyone had some kinship; or because it would be hard to explain to the Qing Nang Sect if all the ordinary people died, so they just scattered some food; or, since they were all human, they might have felt sympathy for their fellow race...

As a young man who has suffered a lot from the social abuses, Chen Jing is more inclined to judge whether a thing is necessary to exist based on its value.

He tried to find the value of the mundane.

Please note that this value is subjective and is the secular value for those who have secular control.

The Chen family’s value to the wealthy families is a continuous source of contribution resources.

So what is the value of the mundane world to practitioners? What does it provide as a proof of survival?
It can't be because it's easier to have children with ordinary people...

"Master Chen!"

"It's Master Chen who's back!"

"How is Mr. Chen these days?"

Chen Jing was still thinking about this question when he unknowingly arrived outside the city. He then saw pairs of eyes filled with surprise and gratitude focused on him.

He suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

In this life, he is a spiritual plant husband, and in the previous life, he was a worker. Although he has made entry into the two avenues of cultivation and physics respectively, it does not affect the fact that he has been a beast of burden in both lives.

At this time, just because there are lower classes than oneself, one begins to use the thinking of a superior and use values ​​to measure the group into which one is born.

It seems that I look down on others from the bottom of my heart.

People's ideals, dignity, emotions, and the meaning of life are all tied to values...

"Don't you deserve to play if you're not good enough? Do you deserve to die if you have no value? What a stupid idea!"

Chen Jing shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.

He waved his hand to ask the Chen family members who were setting up the pot to move aside, sat in front of the big pot, took out the storage bag, and grabbed a handful of washed and cut spiritual leeks.

Spices are more or less valuable, and value means scarcity.

Chives have their own fragrance and are undoubtedly a popular delicacy in this era.

"Master Chen is here to add to the meal!"

"fragrant!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

The ordinary Chen family member beside them couldn't help but say, "This is not an ordinary leek, it is a spiritual plant! Even our blood relatives have only eaten it not long ago. The second young master is kind and brought some for you."

"what?"

Everyone was in disbelief.

They understand the value of spiritual plants very well. You know, going into the mountains to pick wild spiritual plants, spiritual medicines and other spiritual objects, and then selling them to the masters in the city at high prices can be said to be one of the most cost-effective deals.

As for eating it yourself?
Stop it. What kind of family is that who spends thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on a good meal?

"impossible……"

Everyone's first reaction was that this was impossible.

How can spiritual things enter one's mouth?

The Chen family member said, "When the Second Young Master gave out porridge, he mixed some magical rice into the rice. Otherwise, why did you all become free from all diseases within a few days after eating it?"

"Cough." Chen Jing coughed and interrupted the other person.

Before, it was to collect merits and vows.

So I just need to do my job sincerely. I specially emphasized that adding spiritual rice to the porridge was a bit utilitarian. Not only did I not say it, I also did not allow other people in the Chen family to say it publicly among the disaster victims.

This kid must have been holding it in for a long time, and when he saw Chen Jing start to spend money openly, he thought he didn't need to pretend anymore and should just show his cards.

So I couldn't wait to shake it out.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Mr. Chen had collected all his merits and vows early on.

"When I, Chen Jing, do something, I either don't do it or do it well." Chen Jing looked at the people who suddenly fell silent and said, "It's just a spiritual plant. I can still spare some. It's not a big deal."

"Master Chen, we are not ungrateful people, it's just..."

A man stood up, clenched his fists, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

The gap is so huge that even if one wants to say that he is willing to work like a horse or an ox to repay the favor, it would be like adding fuel to the fire and asking for more.

"If you are grateful, then live a good life and don't let my good deeds go in vain."

Chen Jing waved his hand.

After the porridge was distributed.

He began to inspect the infrastructure work of the victims. He did not want to let everyone sit idle. He made arrangements for building houses, repairing roads, reclaiming farmland, building canals, and other matters.

Being able to eat enough, have something to do and earn money can make people feel at peace.

But Chen Jing didn’t know what to do next.

When everything is over, everyone will go back to their homes?
It is better to settle down nearby and form an outer city within an outer city.

"what?"

When Chen Jing inspected, he found that in just a few months, what he had roughly planned had actually taken shape.

The fields are full of mulberry fields, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard.

Those who are building roads are building roads, and those who are building houses are building houses.

There is a lot of infrastructure construction going on and it looks like a lot of things need to be rebuilt.

Chen Jing walked in front with his hands behind his back like a little leader. He touched his head subconsciously and felt that he was missing a white helmet.

"What is this place used for?"

He coughed and pointed somewhere and asked.

"Master Chen, this is the centralized toilet you mentioned. It's really not easy to step on shit on the road with this thing."

The local gang leader, Boss Wang, acted as a guide at this time, answering Chen Jing's questions and resolving his doubts.

"Well, if this toilet is not cleaned, it will easily cause epidemics..."

"It's okay, it's all good fertilizer, and we're rushing to clean it up."

"Really."

Chen Jing also went in to take a look.

It stinks, come out quickly.

"What about this? Whose mansion was built here, occupying such a large area?"

"This is the university hall you mentioned... Mr. Chen, we are short of good beams, so we can only make a mock-up for now."

It should have just been mentioned at the time, instead of insisting on building it!
There is no use going to school at this stage.

Being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves...

"Okay, it's built now, it can be used eventually."

After taking a look, Chen Jing was generally satisfied.

The infrastructure construction capabilities are really amazing, or perhaps because the tools are in place, all the important things have been completed, and the unimportant things have also been roughly done.

So he took out the map, pointed at it, and put forward new suggestions.

"By the way, are there enough resources?" Chen Jing called the manager and asked.

“…Not enough.” The steward smiled bitterly.

With so many disaster victims and such a huge project, how could the Chen family support it? They have already spent a lot of their family fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that the direct lineage of Qingniu Mountain had been giving away spiritual rice and leeks recently, and spending all kinds of good things like they were free, even if they were the main family, they wouldn't expect the ordinary lineages to cooperate so well.

Chen Jing smiled: "Not enough? Don't worry, the plan remains unchanged. There are many wealthy families."
