    Zi Baifeng spent three days visiting all the other fourteen villages under his jurisdiction.  Fortunately, human beings are naturally driven to live by water. Some of these villages may be in remote areas of the mountains, and some may not even have decent roads, but there are streams and rivers near these villages.  As long as there is a waterway, Zi Baifeng's Yunzhou can go there.  After three days of visits, Zi Baifeng gave up all his illusions. The reality was more cruel than he imagined.  He still remembered the bleak and dilapidated scene he saw when he went to Yancun. Now it seems that Yancun is already in good condition.  There are fifteen villages in Jiuyan Township, but only one village has a good harvest, while the other villages have no harvest.  The reason why there is no harvest is because the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been drained away. Now the Spirit Gathering Array of Bird and Mouse Watch has stopped operating, but the loss of spiritual energy has not stopped, it has only weakened.  Investigating the fundamental, the veins are like a tap water network that is in short supply. The bird's mouse view is a faucet that is constantly losing water. Now this faucet is closed, but there are other faucets in other places.  Unless Zi Baifeng wiped out all the immortal cultivating sects, there would be no way to stop the depletion of spiritual energy.  The reason why the aura of Xiayan Village has not been sucked away is not because of the Demon Raising Art, but because of the big bluestone.  The big bluestone has an excellent affinity with the earth veins. It guards Xiayan Village and tightly locks the spiritual energy in the earth veins. It is like closing the main valve to other places and accumulating the spiritual energy.  Da Qingshi doesn¡¯t know why he can lock the spiritual energy. According to common sense, a monster must reach the seventh-level "Ruoweaving" level to be able to guard the earth's veins and dominate the spiritual energy.  ?Perhaps this is a talent unique to monsters like stones?  These still require proof, but Zi Baifeng has already discovered that even if he tries his best to survive this winter, if he does not change the situation where the spiritual energy is drained away, there will still be no harvest in the coming year.  Maybe it won¡¯t be completely useless. After all, the speed of spiritual energy dissipation is much slower than before. There is still some harvest, but there is still a long way to go before food and clothing.  There is only one way to change this situation, and that is to guard the spiritual energy in these places.  What to do?  Zi Baifeng got the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals from his husband. A biography of immortals recorded various common sense of cultivating immortals.  But his method of raising monsters is unique. There is nothing for reference. He can only explore it by himself.  It¡¯s really distressing Let¡¯s forget about it for now and let¡¯s get over this disaster first.  Zi Baifeng could only take one step at a time.  After visiting the village and returning to Xiayan Village, Zi Baifeng began to work on his first plan.  He remembered that when he first learned about the emergence of capitalism, the book said that farmers lost their land and had to become workers. This was the emergence of capitalism.  Now it is not that farmers have lost their land, but that the existence of the land has lost its meaning. The land will not become fertile if they are idle at home. Therefore, free the labor force, let them create value, and then use the value they create to  In exchange for food.  Normally, these villagers are unwilling to leave their land. Even hunters and jade workers in the mountains have an unspeakable land plot.  But now that they can no longer survive on land alone, it is possible to temporarily transform into workers.  Zi Baifeng summoned several of his subordinates to discuss the matter, and then summoned village chiefs and clan elders to come to the meeting.  This process used to take several days or even ten days, but Zi Baifeng sent Liu Lie and Li to drive Yunzhou to pick them up, and they were all picked up in one day. Then Zi Baifeng announced his first  A move.  He decided to actually build some of the facilities that Xiayan Village had originally planned, but only remained on paper.  The first step is to build roads.  There is no official road on the road from Xiayan Village to Mengcheng. The road is rugged and difficult to walk.  Zi Baifeng himself relies on Yunzhou, but within the boundaries of Mengcheng, only the area near Niaoshu Mountain has developed water veins, but most of these rivers are small rivers with very low throughput, which are not of great use.  After the road from Xiayan Village to Mengcheng Official Road was built, Zi Baifeng immediately made the next step of planning, to level out a piece of open space in front of Xiayan Village and build a small town.  This will be a very slow process. Anyone who sees the plan made by Zi Baifeng will have to daydream about it for a long time. But after finishing the sweet dream, everyone shook their heads, saying that it is really too difficult.  It is difficult, not impossible. There is also Zi Baifeng's affection and the influence of his past actions. If not for this, I am afraid everyone would say that he was doing it in the daytime.?Dream.  Road construction does not require its own villagers, and there will be autumn sowing in Xiayan Village, which is particularly important. Zi Baifeng asked them to open up more fields and plant more crops so that they can have a good harvest next year.  The mountain fields are barren and difficult to water. In the past, most of the villagers did not pay attention to the mountain fields. But this year, the villagers have tasted the benefits of selling grain. Even if Zi Baifeng doesn't tell them, they will cultivate more.  In addition, now that there is Tianhe and waterwheels, watering is not too easy, and the workload has been reduced a lot.  "Even if it is difficult, you must do it." Zi Baifeng said, "Old man, for every job, give two rations Is this a little less? Is two rations enough?" Let them work,  Zi Baifeng was worried about how to pay wages, but the old man gave him a guideline with a wave of his hand.  One job, two rations.  To put it simply, each worker could take away enough food for two people after one day's work.  Men, women, old and young can come to work, but men get men's rations, women get women's rations, and children get children's rations. Basically, they get how much work they do and how much rations they get. The only difference is double portions.  This double portion of rations is not much, but it can satisfy the workers and feed one or two people at home.  Zi Baifeng originally thought the payment was too little, but once the old man settled the accounts, he understood.  In this world, the average age is not very long, like a pillar girl. It sounds like she is quite old, but in fact she is only in her forties. When she was in poor health some time ago, she looked like an old man in her sixties or seventies, but now  Now that he is in good health, his hands and feet are nimble when working, and he can bear the weight of most of the strong labor force.  In this era, both men and women basically died soon after losing their labor force. There were very few people who were as strong as the old man.  Assuming that a family has one or two male workers and one capable woman, they can earn enough food for four to six people to survive.  Zi Baifeng told the village elders about the policies and policies, and then sent them back to the village to publicize them. Then Zi Baifeng began to prepare the project.  Food and accommodation, supervision, tools, accounts, it¡¯s another mess.  Several days after the clan elders returned to the village, people came intermittently. Not many people came first. Some people didn't believe it, and some people were unwilling to leave their village. They really couldn't stand it now.  The idea of ??giving it a try came to mind, and as Zi Baifeng expected, many people brought their families with them - they were afraid that their families would starve to death before the food was sent back.  The first group of people consisted of about a dozen strong laborers, dozens of people, all in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin, and had a family to support.  Zi Baifeng heard that someone was coming, and when he rode over in Taixue, he saw these people squatting hesitantly at the entrance of the village. The children all had big heads and thin necks, almost like the little stones they were before.  There are still a few infants with purple faces, desperately sucking their mother's milk, but nothing can be sucked out.  In fact, Xiao Shitou is about to be ten years old. In the previous life, ten-year-old children would have been in the third grade. Some of them would be 1.56 meters tall. Xiao Shitou is just over 1 meter tall. He looks like he is six or seven years old.  It¡¯s because nutrition can¡¯t keep up.  And these children were shorter and smaller than Xiao Shitou. They were all like African refugees. Zi Baifeng almost burst into tears when he saw them. He felt so distressed.  "Don't say anything, just give me something to eat first."  Zi Baifeng had earlier found a few village women to form a logistics team. The logistics staff were all people Zi Baifeng trusted, including Zi Wu, Zhu Zhu Niang, Yan Laowu's daughters-in-law, and Lao Tuozi's wife.  At this time, they were called together, and a big pot was set up at the entrance of the village, and the white grains were poured in and started to boil.  The aroma was so fragrant that the children couldn't sit still. They gathered around one by one, staring at the pot and drooling.  Zi Baifeng pulled Xiao Shitou and whispered to him. Xiao Shitou nodded and ran back. After a while, he came back with some snacks and distributed them to them.  These snacks were all brought by Mengcheng. Not to mention the children, these adults were reluctant to eat them. The children grabbed them tightly, took a few bites and stuffed them into their stomachs, and then started fighting over them again.  .  There were a few children who were reluctant to eat, drooling and taking the food back to their parents.  Zi Baifeng remembered these children and sighed secretly. Sure enough, the children from poor families had already become the masters.  The polished rice porridge is delicious and delicious. In a short time, a large pot of porridge is ready. Each person has a bowl of porridge and a piece of pickle dumplings. The mother is reluctant to eat it, so she feeds it to her child carefully. She dips her fingers in the rice soup and gives it to the infant.  child sucking.  The strong laborers still had a piece of cornbread for each person, but they were reluctant to eat it and gave it to their children and women first.  " In just ten minutes, a large pot of porridge was clean. The hungry stomachs could not eat too much, and Zi Baifeng did not dare to give more. After eating these, these people's complexions became much better.  little stoneHe confirmed his authority through a piece of pastry, walked among the children, waved his arm and said: "Let's go, I will take you to play!" Although the little stone is still black and thin, but the  Wearing a new embroidered dress - most of the clothes worn by children of this age are made by adults, only the rich can give their children new clothes - and brought delicious cakes to everyone. It was obvious that he had an extraordinary status, and it was easy to  Winning the trust of others, like a child king, he went away cheering and cheering.
