I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 7 Yuliangzhuang Financial Records

The news that the new little immortal master personally offered incense to the Mountain Goddess spread quickly and soon spread throughout Yuliang Village.

Many villagers felt relieved and had a better impression of Zhong Lixiao.

The atmosphere and gloom that had shrouded the place for many days were largely dispelled at this moment.

And this is the charm of faith!
People like Wei Gang, Wei Dutou, Lao Zhoutou, and other Zhong family managers who were in charge of the spiritual fields in Yuliang Manor, all hurried out of the manor to greet them.

The core job of Zhong Lixiao and Zhong Lishan when they came to Yuliangzhuang this time was to take care of the spiritual fields.

Therefore, as soon as he entered Yuliangzhuang, Zhong Lixiao took the lead in patrolling along the path in the fields.

As far as the eye can see, the rice fields are green, the rice ears are full of grains, bending the rice seedlings, and the husks of some of the rice grains have even begun to turn slightly yellow.

Obviously, the time for the rice to fully mature is not far away. Zhong Lixiao also understands why the tribe arranged for them, the brothers, to come over and take over in such a hurry.

In late autumn, the rice is fragrant and the sorghum is ripe, and the fields are crisscrossed for thousands of acres.

The sight of a bumper harvest of rice and beans is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be where he will live for the next few years. The only pity is that the spiritual energy is a little thin.

At this moment, Zhong Sheng's voice rang out.

"Master, the chief of Wei, the chief of Zhou, and several other managers want to see you."

Zhong Lixiao looked in the direction of the people coming and nodded, "Let them come over."

Soon, several representatives who came to pay their respects came running over in small steps, respectfully greeting and saying, "I didn't know that the Immortal Master (Eleventh Master) would come to visit us. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."

Those who called him "Master Immortal" were farmers with independent identities, while those who called him "Eleventh Master" were mainly stewards who sold themselves to the Zhong family.

Zhong Lixiao examined the many visitors and inadvertently used his "Bo Le's eyes" to take a look. He was immediately shocked and even a little dumbfounded.

All this was because among the few people who came to pay a visit, two of them actually contained the seeds of supernatural powers.

You have to know that his servant Zhong Sheng is a cultivator, and the seeds of magical powers in his body were buried by the filthy dust. Other powerful Jia Yongs are totally unqualified, but he found two of them just after entering the village. It's outrageous!
It seems that Yuliangzhuang is really his blessed place!
The first one is an old man. Judging from the way he is dressed, he looks like an ordinary old farmer, not much different from other farmers.

The second one was a man with obvious military characteristics. He seemed quite gentle, but Zhong Lixiao still felt that the man in front of him must have been a very good warrior in the past.

It's just that his qi and blood are a little weak, probably because he suffered some hidden injuries.

Could this person be some hidden martial arts master?

interesting!
Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "No need to be polite. You all have worked hard to help my Zhong family take care of the spiritual fields. I am new here, so please give me your guidance."

"I dare not, I dare not, this is all my job, I don't deserve your praise, Immortal Master (Master Eleven)."

Several people declined the proposal humbly, feeling quite happy inside.

After another round of greetings, Zhong Lixiao found out the identities of the people.

The farmer's name was Zhou Qingshan. He was the head of Yuliang Village and everyone called him Old Zhoutou.

What he is best at is farming, and he is basically the one who is in charge of the cultivation of the spiritual fields in Yuliang Manor.

Zhong Lixiao understood.

This person was most likely an agricultural expert in his previous life. He might not be well educated, but he is talented and very capable in his professional field.

As for the man with a military air, as expected, he was the leader of the Zhong clan who guarded Yuliangzhuang. His surname was Wei, his name was Gang, and he was also known as Wei Dutou.

The other representatives are mainly responsible for managing the various outputs of Yuliangzhuang.

Some are responsible for aquaculture, some are responsible for livestock raising and fur tanning, and some are responsible for grain harvesting, management and storage.

Zhong Lixiao asked curiously, "I just looked around the rice fields and the rice grains are full. This year should be a bumper year, but I wonder how much the yield will be?"

A test on teaching?
The steward in charge of grain harvesting and storage said confidently, "I'll let you know, Master Eleven. Currently, the farm has a total of 350 mu of arable land. The best spiritual fields are 10 mu. The spiritual grains planted here are harvested every two years, and the yield per mu is about three shi."

"The medium-sized spiritual farm is 40 mu, and the spiritual grain planted there is only harvested once a year. The yield per mu is slightly lower, only about two and a half stones."

"There are 100 mu of inferior spiritual fields, and the spiritual grains grown there are harvested twice a year. The yield is acceptable, with an output of two stones per mu, but the quality is far inferior to the spiritual grains that are harvested once a year."

"The rest are basically ordinary fields, and the crops grown are just ordinary grains, most of which are produced and sold by ourselves."

With many managers talking one after another and Old Zhou adding details, Zhong Lixiao finally figured out the output and revenue of Yuliangzhuang.

After traveling through time for so long, he still knows something about the measurement methods of this world.

One stone is roughly equivalent to about 100 jin in the previous life, and the yield per mu of the best spiritual field is only 300 jin.

Thinking back to the hybrid rice yield of 1000 to 1500 kilograms per mu in the previous life, Yuan Lao will be remembered as a unique figure in the country!

To put it bluntly, for the Zhong family, the combined output of 40 acres of medium-grade spiritual fields and 100 acres of lower-grade spiritual fields is not as good as that of the 10 acres of upper-grade spiritual fields.

because.

The grain produced from the 10 mu of high-quality spiritual fields harvests once every two years, and its quality is very close to the "first-class spiritual rice" defined by Baiyun Temple.

Its main function is to be used as offerings to Baiyun Temple. It is sold at a very high price on the market. One low-grade spirit stone can only buy 10 kilograms.

You have to know that these are spiritual stones, not gold and silver in the mortal world, which are a luxury for cultivators.

The ordinary spiritual grains produced by medium-grade and low-grade spiritual fields can only be regarded as ordinary rice and coarse grains in the eyes of the upper-level monks of Baiyun Temple.

It is mainly used for odd jobs, or for making wine, or for making the essence of grains and spiritual liquid.

The price has plummeted, and one spirit stone can even buy one stone.

But for the Zhong family in Taoyuan, these are really good things.

The "coarse grains" in the eyes of these superior sects were even further subdivided. The spiritual grain produced by medium-sized spiritual fields, which matured once a year, was regarded as the best "japonica rice".

As for the spiritual food produced in the fields that is harvested twice a year, it is classified as the most common spiritual rice.

For pseudo-spiritual root disciples like Zhong Lixiao, the most common spiritual rice can only be supplied in limited quantities, with a limit of only about ten kilograms per month. Most of the time, they still eat ordinary food that does not contain spiritual energy.

As for the spiritual rice produced in the superior spiritual fields, which matures once every two years and is not considered to be of high quality in the eyes of Baiyun Temple, Zhong Lixiao's memory seems to suggest that they can only be eaten during festivals.

As for its taste, Zhong Lixiao can't forget it.

After some comprehensive calculations, Zhong Lixiao helplessly discovered that farming was really not profitable.

Even though ten acres of high-quality spiritual fields can produce about 3000 kilograms of spiritual rice every two years, and it seems that one can earn 300 low-grade spiritual stones, the key is that these spiritual rice are mainly used to pay offerings to Baiyun Temple.

It does not count as spirit stone income!
As for the medium-grade spiritual fields, which produce 100 shi of spiritual grain each year, and the low-grade spiritual fields, which produce 400 shi each year, all together can only be sold for about 500 to 600 low-grade spiritual stones.

You should know that in the entire Taoyuan Zhong family, there are only about twenty farms like Yuliangzhuang.

The annual income from the farm alone is only around 10000 low-grade spirit stones.

And the bulk of this income will be used to support the eldest ancestor to form the elixir, the second uncle to build the foundation, and other immortal seedlings to practice.

Really miserable!

You should know that a good mid-grade magic weapon can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones, and a high-grade magic weapon can even be sold for around three hundred spirit stones.

What a huge gap. A poor guy is not worthy of cultivating immortals!
The Taoyuan Zhong family is at least a family of immortal cultivators who have established a foundation, but they are doing so miserably. It shows how shabby the wealth of a true independent cultivator is.

As for the operating model of Yuliangzhuang, it is mainly to rent out the spiritual fields to farmers with special qualifications for cultivation.

The better the quality of the spiritual food produced and the higher the yield, the more you can receive ordinary food of the same weight in different multiples.

The upper field is three times, the middle field is twice, and the lower field is 1.5 times.

As for the fields that only produce ordinary grains, the tenants need to pay rent in return.

Therefore, the more spiritual fields you rent in Yuliangzhuang, the better your farming skills are. It is both a recognition and honor, as well as real benefits.

Since they no longer had to pay heavy taxes to the court, the common people were extremely grateful for Zhong's kindness.

In Yuliangzhuang, the annual income from grain, fish, furs, animal tendons, fruits, various dry goods, and ordinary gold and silver is about 700 to 800 taels of silver.

You only need to hand over one third of it, keep one third as the operating funds of the manor, and the rest can be freely distributed by the immortal master, manager, and captain.

At this point, Wei Dutou, Zhou Zhuangtou, and many managers all looked at Zhong Lixiao eagerly.

Zhong Lixiao understood and said with a smile, "Everything can be left as usual."

Everyone around suddenly became happy.

What is a good leader?
A good leader is one who does not infringe on their interests!
Zhong Lixiao seized an opportunity and asked, "Where is my twelfth brother? Is he practicing in seclusion?"

The people around were all surprised and asked in astonishment, "Didn't the Twelfth Master come with you?"

Zhong Lixiao understood.

At this moment, his good brother must be eager to find an opportunity.

If he had not awakened his magical powers and achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, he would probably be very upset at this moment.

but.

As his beloved relative, friend, sibling, Zhong Lixiao didn't mind giving him some eye drops.

Then, Zhong Lixiao deliberately exaggerated, "Twelfth brother hasn't come yet? When we were in Taoyuan Valley, Twelfth brother was much more anxious than me. He rushed to Yuliangzhuang in a hurry, and made me wait for half an hour in vain."

The chief of Wei and many other managers looked at each other in bewilderment.

What a situation?

The two brothers are at odds, or are you playing them?
But no matter what, in this era that emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, and respect for younger brothers, it is by no means gentle, humble, and courteous to rashly stand up to your brother.

Not to mention that they have not yet arrived.
In the adult world, you can be playful but you can't be really bad!

The head of Wei, the head of Zhouzhuang, and many managers subconsciously labeled Zhong Lishan as "playful and causing trouble" and "unworthy of important tasks."

of course.

What they were more worried about was that the "Twelfth Brother" mentioned by Zhong Lixiao was going on a secret visit, working with Zhong Lixiao in an open and covert attempt to find their weak spot.

Everyone was very wary of Zhong Lishan who was hiding his head but showing his tail. They were all shocked and their alarm bells were ringing.

Seeing that his plan to trip the enemy was successful, Zhong Lixiao was secretly delighted. Then he went to various spiritual fields to investigate personally, just like a leader conducting an inspection.

Once again, he left a good impression on everyone as a pragmatic and down-to-earth person. Coupled with the secret intimidation of Zhong Lishan, everyone became more respectful.

During this process, Zhong Lixiao also repeatedly asked Lao Zhoutou about his professional knowledge on farming. While being humble and eager to learn, he also praised Lao Zhoutou at the right time, which immediately made Lao Zhoutou's face glow.

He felt that his life value was affirmed, and his favorable impression of the young immortal master Zhong Lixiao soared.

He has even reached the level of being able to engrave seeds of supernatural powers. As long as he can complete a portrait that reflects Old Zhou's mental state, he will most likely be able to obtain a second seed of supernatural powers.

I have to admit that farmers are simple-minded.

In comparison, Wei Gang and Wei Dutou appear to be unusually smooth, even a little unyielding.

After fully affirming the work of many managers, many managers were also excited and happy.

Once again, the glorious image of the young immortal master who is humble, polite, and kind to others is deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

Anti-corruption?

forget it!
Compared to gaining favor and obtaining magical seeds, how much is this worth?
Even if there are termites, the public will suffer losses anyway.

He is a bad guy, so let his good brother who has a deep affection for him do it!
