Practice Remembering You

"Go and distribute this water to those patients, and help as many people as possible recover. Let those who have recovered go find the deputy county magistrate to work."

Zhang Yu ordered.

The doctor understood and asked the patient to take the water to treat the disease.

With the help of Mo Xue, Zhang Yu sat on a stone bench and regulated his breathing.

With the absorption of a large amount of spiritual energy and the effect of breathing exercises, Zhang Yu recovered very quickly.

After a long time, Zhang Yu's true qi was fully restored. The result of this recovery surprised Zhang Yu a little. He found that the amount of his true qi had actually increased significantly, and he didn't know why.

Because there were so many patients, the previous tank of water was definitely not enough, so he asked the servants to fetch more water.

Then Zhang Yu began to infuse true Qi again, and this time he used up all the true Qi. Although he still felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, it was much better than before.

Mo Xue felt very distressed seeing her husband like this and tried to dissuade Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu touched Mo Xue's head and assured her that he would not hurt himself.

After the true energy was infused, Zhang Yu asked his servants to send it to the "front line" and hand it over to a doctor, and then he continued to recover at home.

After this recovery, Zhang Yu discovered that his Qi reserves had increased a bit, so he immediately realized that by completely releasing his Qi and then recovering it, he could train his total Qi reserves.

Moreover, this method of improvement is much faster than practicing on your own.

Zhang Yu's face showed joy for a moment: "Madam, I think I hit the jackpot by accident."

"What?" Mo Xue still looked at Zhang Yu with concern.

"Practice." Zhang Yu said, "After releasing my Qi and then restoring it, my Qi reserve will increase. I was just thinking about saving people, but I didn't expect that I could become stronger by accident."

"This is what it means when good people are rewarded." Mo Xue said happily for Zhang Yu.

With this encouragement, Zhang Yu became more motivated.

As long as Zhang Yu's Qi is emptied and then restored, his reserves will increase, no matter how many times, as if there is no limit.

In the evening, as a large number of patients recovered, they all joined in the construction and the isolation area was soon completed.

After hearing the doctor's advice, these people all knew that it was the magic water made by Zhang Yu that cured them, so they all came to Zhang Yu's residence to kneel down and express their gratitude.

Zhang Yu came out to accept the thanks, and then asked these people to go back to their respective posts and obey orders. Only then did these people go back.

When accepting these people's thanks, Zhang Yu discovered that these people were very different. When they first came here, the pure spiritual energy in these people was very thin, and the quality was much weaker than that of the people in the main city.

When these people knelt down to worship him just now, the pure true energy in each of them suddenly became very thick, and the concentration was already comparable to the spiritual energy in the main city of Zhuiming.

Could it be that a person's mental state would affect the pure spiritual energy? Zhang Yu pondered secretly.

After five days, the patients were completely cleared, with only a few sporadic cases falling ill, but they were minor matters, and as a result, the financial pressure was drastically reduced.

The most pressing issue now is food. As for food, we must first solve the problem of soil barrenness so that the yield of food grown in the future can increase.

But this is a time-consuming job, and what we need now is food.

At this time, another merchant who looked very knowledgeable offered advice to Zhang Yu: "County magistrate, if you want food, you have to go out and trade."

"You mean to form a caravan and go to other places to exchange?"

"Yes."

"But the county is so poor, is there anything to exchange?"

The merchant said, "County magistrate, poverty is relative."

"What do you mean?"

"Normally, barren land is mostly caused by drought and lack of rain, which makes the land unable to retain water. However, Xiaoshi County does not lack rain, so the crops still grow so poorly. It is very likely that there are minerals underground. So I suggest organizing people to dig down and take a look. If we encounter minerals, Xiaoshi Town will have resources in the future. We can trade mineral resources for food and turn our shortcomings into strengths."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Very good, we can give it a try. What's your name?"

"The villain Yin Cai."

"Okay, I'll give you 10 taels of silver first. If you really dig out ore in the future and everything goes as you said, I'll give you another 50 taels of silver. I can see that you know a lot about this, so I'll leave it to you to decide where to start digging, and you can also do the subsequent ore trading."

"Thank you very much, County Magistrate!" Yin Cai was overjoyed: "I don't want any reward money, I will donate it all to Xiaoshi County. I just hope that Xiaoshi County will get better and better."

Just when Zhang Yu was about to praise Yin Cai for his noble moral character, Mo Xue suddenly spoke up: "If you really want Xiaoshi County to be better, then accept the reward money you deserve, and you can only use this money for yourself or your family, and you are not allowed to donate it."

These words stunned everyone, including Zhang Yu, who asked in confusion: "Madam, why is this happening?"

"This is to make our Xiaoshi County more vibrant." Mo Xue said, and asked someone to bring the money over and handed it to Yin Cai, saying to him: "I can see that you are not short of money, so you can generously donate this reward money. Although your action is well-intentioned, it will raise the moral standard.

You have to know that not everyone is as wealthy as you. If you donate the money today, and someone else comes up with a very good strategy for Xiaoshi County in the future, making Xiaoshi County better off, after he receives the reward money, will he donate it or not?

If his family is relatively poor and he really needs the money, if he donates it, he will suffer; if he does not donate it, he will be attacked by your high "moral standards". This kind of public opinion can condemn a hero as a villain.

So, you can donate, but you can’t use the money awarded to you by the government. You have to use the money you earn yourself. That’s the only way!”

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Zhang Yu had not expected that his wife had such a long-term vision, and his heart was filled with pride.

Yin Cai felt ashamed after hearing this: "I have a narrow vision. I can't be as broad-minded as the county magistrate and the county lady, and care about all the people. Please punish me, county magistrate."

Zhang Yu smiled: "It doesn't matter whether you are punished or not. Your intention is good, but you should think more about the consequences before doing anything in the future."

So Zhang Yu asked Bao Ping'an to arrange some people for Yin Cai and let him do the work.

Bao Ping'an got the order and looked a little conflicted. He didn't seem to want to deal with the matter, but Zhang Yu had already given the order, so he had to do it.

Zhang Yu could naturally notice Bao Ping'an's expression keenly: "But is there any difficulty? You can tell me now, otherwise, if you hesitate again when we really start, I will not let you off."

Bao Ping'an was shocked, knowing that Zhang Yu was talking about him, so he bravely said, "Master, I think this is not okay."

"Why?"

"Land is the most important thing in Feng Shui, so we can't just dig it up casually. When I was in office before, Yin Cai proposed this to me several times, but I didn't agree."

"Apart from this? Is there any other reason?" Zhang Yu asked expressionlessly.

Bao Ping'an swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't have any other reason."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Since you don't suggest digging the ground, do you have any other way to solve the food problem besides digging the ground and betting that there are mines underneath?"

"Well..." Bao Ping'an's forehead was sweating: "Well... I don't have any solution for now."

"If there is no other way, don't always think about whether to wait for others to come up with a solution, just make arrangements quickly."

Leaving this to them, Zhang Yu went alone to the most barren land in Xiaoshi County. He thought that if he could inject his true energy into the water, could he inject it into the ground to improve the soil?

So they poured true qi into the soil, but they found that this method didn't work, at least not now. Although true qi could affect the soil, like water, it could only affect the soil for a period of time, and crops could not grow in just a few hours.

Moreover, Zhang Yu can only affect an area within a five-meter radius of himself at most each time, which is really too little.

After about an incense stick of time, the people in the county were mobilized, and Yin Cai directly led everyone to the designated place to start work. It seemed that he did not conduct on-site investigation at all, which obviously meant that the investigation had been completed long time ago.

Zhang Yu couldn't do anything else for the time being, so he went back to practice and wait.

Now Zhang Yu has a new way of practicing, which is to first consume his true Qi completely, and then recover slowly instead of practicing breathing exercises. During this period, Zhang Yu absorbs spiritual energy to practice. After testing, he has found that this way he can obtain more true Qi reserves.

At night, a messenger ran to Zhang Yu in surprise and said, "County Magistrate! We have found minerals! They are black gold ore (iron) and cinnabar ore!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu took Mo Xue to the scene.

Everyone was celebrating at this time, even Bao Pingan, who had been opposed before, was the same. Now they didn't care about whether the feng shui was good or not.

Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Without further delay, let's set up a more reliable caravan for Yin Cai today, and then after the car is full of minerals, we will go out to trade."
