Chapter 197 Huanzhu advances to Long County
After that, Lu Yu continued on his journey. Whenever he came across a village or town on the way, Lu Yu would stop and give each of the secret guards ten taels of silver so that they could buy livestock such as live chickens, ducks, and pigs.
The space is large enough and was originally intended for raising horses, but the horses have not been brought in yet and the space is empty. It's such a waste. It would be better to raise some livestock and store meat and eggs.
Lu Yu was walking leisurely on a country road, and from a distance he saw one of the secret guards leading two cows towards him.
After waiting for a while, she came closer and asked, "Ten taels of silver can buy two cows? You are not going to threaten the villagers with force, are you?"
The secret guard stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "My lord, I did not threaten the villagers. I bought them at a high price."
“What a high price!”
"Two hundred and ten taels."
Lu Yu was surprised and raised his hand to signal him to get up. He looked at the person in front of him. He had not paid much attention to him before, but now looking at this person's aura, he seemed a bit like a leader.
"I only gave you ten taels of silver. Where did the other two hundred taels come from?"
The secret guard in front of him began to take off his shoes under Lu Yu's gaze. Lu Yu took a look and immediately knew what was going on.
It turns out there is some private money!
When these people entered the space contract, Lin Ruquan searched them thoroughly.
"Master, I hid these banknotes in the lining of my shoes. I forgot about them, so they were not found by Chief Lin."
He handed over a few thin silver bills, but Lu Yu thought they were smelly and didn't take them. He waved his hand and said, "Just keep them in your hands. You don't have to give them to me."
Lu Yu was cruel to her enemies, but she was always very good to her own people. This group of Si family secret guards had already signed a contract with her and were completely obedient, so they were naturally considered her own people.
She took out two hundred tael silver notes and said, "This is the money to buy the cow. Keep it."
"Also, I will have Lin Ruquan return what he took from you."
"Master, we have no need to spend money."
What he meant was that there was no need to return it to them.
Lu Yu smiled and said, “When people live in this world, they will always encounter various problems. No one knows when they will be lacking.”
"Keep it well!"
As she spoke, she walked towards two cows, one male and one female, and walked around the cows. She found that the cow's belly seemed a little big.
Looking at the secret guard, he immediately explained, "Master, this cow has a baby in her belly."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed with smiles. Not bad!
"How did you come up with the idea of buying a cow?"
"Ploughing the land can improve efficiency, and cows are human-like and obedient."
The secret guard stood aside with his head down, thinking about the gossip he had heard from passers-by.
A grandparent and a grandson were driving a cow into the city. The cow saw some tasty grass on the roadside and stopped to eat. The grandson whipped the cow's buttocks hard with a whip, hoping that it would walk faster.
But he was stopped by his grandfather, who said: We are not in a hurry to travel now, and we should let the cattle loosen up a bit, as we have a lot of people in our family, young and old.
The farmland at home depends entirely on it. We cannot say that we should be grateful to it and give it the best, but we must never abuse it.
The grandson lowered his head to think, and felt that what his grandfather said made sense. If it weren't for the cows helping to plow the land, their family probably wouldn't be able to turn the land.
After figuring it out, he reached out and touched the bull stock, still saying words of apology.
After the cow finished eating, it turned around and mooed twice at the two men. The grandfather flicked his whip and said, "Now that you're done eating, let's go!"
Miraculously, the cow seemed to understand what people said and started walking towards the city.
The reason why he felt that the cow understood human language was because the whip that the grandfather whipped was completely powerless, probably not even enough to tickle the cow.
Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully. The low productivity in ancient times was certainly a problem of food variety, but there was also a problem of manpower.
Therefore, you need to raise cows, and raise a lot of them.
Once my grandfather has established his empire, perhaps he can solve the problem of low productivity.
The right fist hit the left palm, deciding that buying cattle would be the first goal in the next place to pass.
He raised his hand and took the two cows into the space. He looked into the space with his consciousness. The two cows were confused for a moment, then started to play around and then lowered their heads to eat grass.
Her grandfather said that this grassland could support ten thousand horses, so she decided to give half of the land to cattle, raise five thousand cows, and then continue to multiply until every family in the country had one.
All the way to Long County, Lu Yu had collected all kinds of poultry, but he was still short of cattle, only more than a hundred, of which seventy-four were mostly cows.
Lu Yu was not discouraged. Although it was still a long way from 5,000 cows, many of the cows were pregnant with calves, so he believed that he would soon have a lot of cows.
On the first day of arriving in Long County, the sun was shining brightly outside, but there was thick fog in the air.
Ah, no, it's not thick fog, but the spiritual energy has suddenly increased, as if it is about to turn into liquid.
Lu Yu was startled and called out to the space spirit to ask, only to find out that it was her Huanzhu who was about to advance.
The reason why the space is like this is that Huanzhu is giving back.
The thick fog lasted for about half an hour and then dissipated. Lu Yu knew that Huanzhu's advancement was complete.
After a while, a little guy flew in front of her with a smile on his face, grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, I have become more powerful again."
Lu Yu smiled and praised, "Huanzhu is great!"
"Then sister, quickly escort me out of this space. I am going to beat Wuwang now."
The little guy turned into a fierce look in a second.
Lu Yu decisively refused, "No, although you have become stronger, there is still a gap between you and Wuwang."
"Don't forget, Wuwang is no longer the monk at the third level of Qi Refining. He is now a demon. While you are getting stronger, Wuwang must have also become stronger."
When Lu Yu arrived in Long County, he learned that the Qilin Guard and the Tiansheng Army were facing off in Yuezhou Prefecture.
Yuezhou Prefecture is located in the southeast of Long County, about 100 kilometers away.
The Qilin Guard has a total of 50,000 people, led by Lu Chuan, and the Tiansheng Army has a total of 100,000 people, led by Lu Kong.
The moment he learned that Hua Danyang had ascended the throne, Lu Jingmo sent a pigeon message to Lu Chuan, asking him to intercept Lu Kong's Tiansheng Army.
Because he knew that Wuwang and Si Yungui would definitely transfer troops back to guard the capital.
The only force they could mobilize openly was the Tiansheng Army, and he was not entirely clear about what other forces there were in secret.
He gave this order just in case.
But I didn’t expect that there would be a traffic jam.
The Qilin Guard controlled Yuezhou Prefecture and would not allow the Tiansheng Army to pass through by land and air.
In fact, the main purpose of the Tiansheng Army is to go to the capital, and it is not necessary to pass through the city. It can completely take a detour.
But Tiansheng Army commander Lu Kong could not swallow that humiliation, nor could he lose that face, so he confronted him.
But there has been no formal confrontation so far.
