Chapter 180 Sword Qi Plowing the Land
The weather in Jicheng warms up very the Lantern Festival, the wind was not so cold, and more and more brave people began to return to Jicheng.
After all, Jicheng is their home. The experience of leaving their hometown in the cold winter and spending the New Year outside is hard to describe in words.
The arrival of these people has gradually made Jicheng more popular and no longer looks like a ghost town.
Guan Shan and Huang Goudan did not help Shi Feizhe with any military force, but they shared many other tasks with Shi Feizhe.
For example, we can launch a literacy campaign to provide literacy to all those who want to learn to read.
Guanshan’s pinyin is very good and he can recognize words very quickly, but he is very bad at math and still can’t figure out division.
Huang Goudan is just the opposite. He is good at math and has already understood linear equations with two variables, but not pinyin.
There were two people in the literacy class, one teaching literacy and pinyin, and the other teaching mathematics. Li Hongyan and others jokingly called them the "Dog-keeping Duo."
Later, Guanshan and Huang Goudan learned of this nickname, and they were so angry that they doubled their homework.
Li Hongyan is one of the few warriors who voluntarily learned to read, and he has suffered losses due to being blind.
Especially since he would break through and become a real warrior, it would be too shabby that he couldn't even write his own name.
He wants to improve so much.
Time soon came to March, and a small number of people in Jicheng had already returned. They were all those who had escaped from Jicheng and sought refuge in nearby towns and villages.
And Shi Feizhe became very busy.
Managing two or three hundred people, managing several thousand people, or managing tens of thousands of people are not on the same scale at all.
In particular, Shi Feizhe did not just sit back and do nothing. Instead, he outsourced everything to other sects and gangs as was done in other cities. He made some magical changes to many of his previous life's administrative systems.
Some of those administrative systems are usable, but others are out of touch with reality, causing chaos and making many jokes.
Fortunately, real warriors are full of energy, allowing him to make some modifications and shape a new city according to his own ideas.
Sometimes, he wondered, wasn't he just joining the Sacred Heart Church in a roundabout way, how did he become the lord of a city?
Yangzhou is indeed a peculiar place!
At this time, Shi Feizhe was farming on the ridge of the field with a few warriors. As a farmer's son, Shi Feizhe felt ashamed.
He had never farmed before, so when he did, he didn't know how to do anything. He didn't even know how to use a harrow, plow, or rake.
Fortunately, he could use sword energy to plow the land. The endless sword energy plowed the soil one by one, plowing it deep and flat, which really blinded the eyes of several old farmers and Yang Wei.
Good luck!
A real warrior plows the land with sword energy!
I'm afraid this is the first time in the history of the martial arts world!
"This..." An old farmer looked at the land after the sword energy passed through it, and said to Shi Feizhe fearfully: "Master, the furrows of your plow are too thin."
The sword energy was a thin layer, as if it only passed across the ground and did not turn up the fertile soil underneath.
"Oh, that's okay!" Shi Feizhe adjusted the thickness of the sword energy and even changed its shape, imitating the look of a plowshare, and swiped it again.
On this side, although the plowing was deep enough, the rolling of the earth was still not enough.
Shi Feizhe thought about it, then adjusted the sword energy into the shape of a curved plow with a shovel mouth, and did it again.
How could sword energy be such an inconvenient thing? He tried it over and over again, about a dozen times, until he had turned over all the land, and then he mastered the technique of plowing the land with sword energy.
"Yang Wei! What do you think of the way I plowed the land?" Shi Feizhe said to Yang Wei.
Recently, Yang Wei's cultivation is about to break through the realm of true person. Shi Feizhe decided to give him a warning, so he took him with him when he reclaimed the land.
"The dean's skills are unparalleled. I admire you!" He flattered him expressionlessly.
The title of Dean was something they learned from Guan Shan and Huang Goudan.
He said respectfully on the surface, but what he was thinking in his heart was...
You, Old Deng, have such powerful sword energy, but you use it to plow the fields. It's such a waste of God's gift!
If this sword energy was given to me...
"Hey~ This is just a trivial trick! Just follow me!" Shi Feizhe said with a smile.
So Shi Feizhe took him for a whole morning to walk through the wasteland outside Jicheng, plowing all the land as he walked.
It was several times faster than any other combined land leveling machine. By the end, Yang Wei felt numb.
He watched as Shi Feizhe's sword energy did not stop for the entire morning, and he didn't even blush or breathe. He had to start thinking seriously, when he reached the realm of a real person, could he really unite with a few people to beat up Shi Feizhe?
They don’t know how to deliver food, right?
The first step of farming is to till the land, which is also the most labor-intensive. Many farmers raise cattle for this step. The wasteland outside Jicheng was originally too wasteland to be fully cultivated with the current number of people in Jicheng.
However, Shi Feizhe's sword energy plowed the land, allowing the people of Jicheng to cultivate the wasteland outside Jicheng with very little labor. In addition, as long as they paid 20% of the grain to Jicheng, the people of Jicheng felt more at ease and accepted Shi Feizhe's strange rules.
After all, it is probably not the first time that a real person’s sword energy has plowed the land since the beginning of the world.
The people of Jicheng can also brag, have you ever seen a real person plowing the land? I have seen it!
When Shi Feizhe returned to his office, he saw Shi Lao Mo.
Ever since Shi Lao Mo came to Jicheng after the New Year, he found that there were more and more people in Jizhou and it was gradually recovering its vitality, which was completely different from other places in Yangzhou. Since then, he often came to Jicheng to ask Shi Feizhe for advice.
"What's wrong again?" Shi Feizhe asked. He knew that Old Demon Shi must have come with a problem.
"You actually know how to plow the fields?" Shi Lao Mo looked at Shi Feizhe carefully, as if he saw Shi Feizhe for the first time.
"I've said it before. In the future, knights will not only be sharp swordsmen, but also producers. It's a waste to just use martial arts skills for fighting and killing! They should be used for construction and production to improve the overall quality of life!"
"Let ordinary people in the future eat and use better things than the real warriors now!" Shi Feizhe said seriously.
Real warriors don’t even have mobile phones, and communication basically relies on people delivering messages. Compared with his previous life, it is far worse.
“…I don’t quite understand it, but I think it’s very powerful!” said Old Demon Shi.
You are a Madonna illiterate, what the hell do you know? You can't even manage the Sacred Heart Church properly!
During this period, Shi Feizhe gave him a lot of ideas, such as eliminating dissidents, integrating forces within the church, using one faction to fight another, restraining the Sacred Heart Church members, and implementing policies based on Jicheng's experience.
With the increasingly better changes in Jicheng and Shi Feizhe's strategy, the Sacred Heart Church is also changing, at least it is much better than before.
Therefore, Shi Lao Mo went from being half-believing and half-doubting Shi Feizhe to being completely convinced.
So far, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction!
These few chapters are just a transition. After all, this book is not a farming novel, but such changes must be explained, otherwise it will be very abrupt.
