The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 245 Plantation

"A Guide to Catching Thieves? What a great book! With it, thieves will be able to find their way to our house and we can catch them every time!"

Under the orange candlelight, Qiao Feng, the head of the Zhenwu Division, flipped through the thick book in his hand. He looked very excited, and even clapped his hands and laughed, saying "hello" three times.

As the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng is not only a brave warrior, he also has his own personal charm and is very popular among the people.

The Zhenwu Division is similar to the Six Gates in other countries. It specializes in handling matters in the martial arts world and dealing with people in the martial arts world. The most common thing it encounters are high-flying thieves who are difficult to guard against.

Now we have the "Thief Catching Guide", which provides very insightful suggestions for thieves.

"Before the army moves, food and fodder must go first."

"Wan'er, is there enough food and grass in the city? Can it support a million-strong army for three months of war?"

Turning the jade ring in his hand, Shen Yuanliang paced back and forth and asked slowly.

At present, Qingdi City is a wealthy and powerful city. Although there are good harvests every year and the treasury is full, the resources consumed by tens of millions of people embarking on the path of martial arts are immeasurable.

Once the war breaks out in full swing, the consumed materials will pile up in mountains and seas. Therefore, Shen Yuanliang needs to know how rich his family is!
"Brother Yuanliang, don't worry."

"Even if it's for a million troops, the food supply can last for three years."

Li Wan'er smoothed her hair in front of her chest, raised the corners of her mouth, a pair of dimples were faintly visible, and her smile was very charming.

Power will not disappear, it will only be transferred. The same goes for classes. When one group of nobles is overthrown, another group of rentiers will come up. The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.

Shen Yuanliang supported the military aristocratic group and eliminated the existing clans and families. In the process, the Shen family made a fortune. Not to mention the continuous Cangshan Mountains, there were tens of millions of acres of spiritual fields alone.

The vast fields are crisscrossed with paths, the crystal land is full of vitality, and the plantations belonging to the Shen family are distributed at the nodes of the earth's energy, places with dense spiritual energy.

Relying on the plantation economy, under the management of Li Wan'er, snow lotus rice piled up like mountains, and the bright and juicy spiritual vegetables and fruits were continuously supplied to tens of millions of people.

……

The rising sun awakens the sleeping Qingdi City. Many street vendors wait at the city gate early for their three meals a day.

With a creaky sound, the city gate made of fine steel slowly opened, and Qingdi City was suddenly filled with noise, with noisy hawking and bargaining sounds intertwined.

“Vegetables. Fresh vegetables.”

"Fish, sea fish caught in the early morning, ten cents a pound."

In the noisy vegetable market, Bai Zhantang, wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt and narrow sleeves, greets people skillfully and selects suitable ingredients. This is his daily job.

Li Dazui behind him was carrying a bag on his shoulders as if he was carrying a mountain, and drops of sweat could not stop flowing. Fortunately, he had embarked on the road of martial arts and had quite a bit of strength.

"Hey! Lao Bai, do you want some spiritual vegetables?"

Seeing Bai Zhantang and his group, a middle-aged man with dark skin waved his rough arms and shouted.

On the three-meter-long stall, the lush green vegetables look like works of art, as if they were carved from jade, crystal clear, and exuding an enticing fragrance.

"Spiritual vegetables?"

While greeting, Bai Zhantang picked up a cabbage, an emerald cabbage, and immediately became interested.

Ever since Snow Lotus Rice came out, everyone has had a general impression of spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables, knowing that these are good things and are of great help to the path of martial arts.

"These spiritual vegetables come from the plantation of the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency. They were picked this morning and are very fresh."

"Do you want it? Since we're acquaintances, it's only one ounce of silver per pound!"

Pointing with a finger, the middle-aged man smiled, like a cunning fox waiting for his prey to come to him.

With the help of Shen Yuanliang, the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency became famous and was one of the upper-class families in Qingdi City. Their plantation covering tens of thousands of hectares was just fifty miles outside Qingdi City.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Various rare spiritual vegetables and spiritual fruit seeds are bestowed like water, which makes people very envious. If it weren't for some relationship with Fuwei Escort Agency, it would not be his turn to buy and sell these spiritual vegetables. Today is the first day, just in time to test the waters, and Bai Zhantang is the big fat sheep in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

“Good ingredients!”

Holding the emerald cabbage, Li Dazui was intoxicated.

For a chef, high-end ingredients are their favorite, requiring only the simplest cooking.

"Give me ten kilograms of each of these spiritual vegetables."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhantang waved his hand. He was very proud and was like a nouveau riche at this moment. He would not allow himself to lose face in front of his acquaintances.

As for the shopkeeper’s threat, we’ll talk about it later!

"Da da!"

Half an hour later, Li Dazui was leading the donkey with a sad face, as if he was walking into the execution ground, while Bai Zhantang was lying on the donkey cart with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable.

"Constable, the Zhenwu Division is recruiting constables. The salary is ten taels of silver a month!"

"We are recruiting 30,000 constables. Anyone with a clean record can apply. This is a guaranteed job that will pay you back no matter what."

"One yellow-grade top-grade martial art, one Qi and Blood Pill and one Tiger Blood Paste per month, generous benefits."

At this moment, a burst of noise came from the bustling street. Bai Zhantang instantly pricked up his ears and felt panicky.

After retiring from the underworld, Bai Zhantang became very sensitive to the word "constable". He was afraid that his identity would be discovered when he woke up, so constable became his main target of prevention.

It took Bai Zhantang a long while to come back to his senses. He touched the bronze plate in his arms and remembered that he had compiled the "Guide to Catching Thieves" at the request of Shen Yuanliang some days ago. Now he didn't have to worry anymore because he had a clear path.

The sun is at its highest point, at Tongfu Inn.

"Old White, give me two ounces of wine!"

Old Xing, dressed in black and with an untidy beard, Xing Yusen slapped the elm table and shouted weakly.

"Old Xing, Qingdi City is recruiting constables, do you want to give it a try?"

Bai Zhantang, dressed as a child, swung the towel on his shoulders and looked at his old friend who was so depressed. He remembered the notice on the bulletin board, his eyes lit up and he made a suggestion.

Qixia Town is located in Guanzhong, with a superior geographical location but many disputes. Many people left with their elderly and children. Xing Yusen accidentally arrived at Qingdi City three days ago.

Old Xing, who can only play some musical instruments and has no other skills, lives in a daze all day long. Drinking to relieve his sorrow only makes him more sorrowful.

"I saw it too, but unfortunately he was eliminated in the first round."

Speaking of this, Xing Yusen looked very ashamed, and he looked listless and low in energy.

Having worked diligently in Qixia Town for many years, Lao Xing was unable to pass the first hurdle when faced with various requirements from the Zhenwu Division.

"Give this to you!"

"With this, you will definitely be selected."

With a grit of his teeth and a stamp of his feet, Bai Zhantang took out the bronze medal from his arms, feeling very reluctant to part with it.

"You are so good, Bai Zhantang. You spent a month's worth of food money in just one morning."

"You're quite courageous!"

At this moment, Tong Xiangyu, dressed in red, came over aggressively, grabbed Bai Zhantang's ear, and was furious, like an angry tigress.
