His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

There are still many restrictions on infiltrating the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and Song Si needs to prepare in advance.

the other side.

Xu Bing and Gong Zhonghou arrived at the secret field, which was about forty acres in size and had excellent feng shui. It was a rare and blessed land.

Due to limitations in production technology, the forty mu of land in Daxi was not a large area, just enough to support five or six men.

But the concept of forty acres of land in Futian is different.

According to Song Si, this area was previously planted with "Nine Rice".

The so-called "Nine Rice" is actually a special type of rice. Martial arts practitioners can strengthen their bodies by consuming it, which can increase their strength, does not produce any impurities, and can also prolong life and ward off diseases.

Qi cultivators sometimes enjoy eating this rice, as it is said that consuming it can increase one's fortune and prevent one from being affected by the qi of grains.

"Rice is gold" is not just a figure of speech.

Equivalent to a kind of gold, with such a trump card, plus various operations, it was possible to quietly create tens of thousands of complete Xuan armors.

Xu Bing was naturally envious, and at this moment he brought Gong Zhonghou to admire this field.

With a wave of his hand, he told him that this would be the foundation of his success.

Gong Zhonghou looked puzzled, not daring to refute, but also not agreeing. Xu Bing shook his head and laughed at him, saying he was just a mortal and didn't know how precious this place was.

Talking and talking.

Xu Bing followed the road and arrived at the location of the water source.

It was a river, but the water was murky and grayish-brown, with ferocious fish swimming in it.

It also emitted a foul stench.

"Grand Preceptor, this..." Gong Zhonghou looked at this scene, completely baffled.

Xu Bing frowned.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

Blessed fields and waters easily attract evil spirits.

This is how it is. Song Si also came to investigate, but he had no choice but to give up because he couldn't figure out what to do with this place.

Xu Bing flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, a gale howled, the river water rippled, and several wind blades slashed into the river.

"You wretched creature, come out at once!"

All I heard was a loud roar from him.

The Emperor's Prestige erupted with a thunderous roar. His prestige had now reached a staggering seventy-two, and the Emperor's Prestige he unleashed was incomparably domineering, as if it had materialized.

Gong Zhonghou's expression changed drastically, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes revealed shock.

They were stunned into standing still by such an aura.

However, there is something even more terrifying.

Only the next second.

A huge black fish leaped high from the river, and Xu Bing snorted coldly.

Countless wind blades swept out, instantly annihilating the black fish.

"What terrifying strength!" Gong Zhonghou's legs trembled uncontrollably.

He is also a martial artist at the Tongxuan Realm.

But he didn't know how to deal with this power.

All of a sudden.

They were even more convinced of Xu Bing's abilities and dared not harbor the slightest ill intentions.

Xu Bing took out a water purification talisman from his sleeve and threw it into the river. Immediately, the river water became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The once viscous river water regained its vitality and began to flow gently.

Xu Bingdao said, "Zhonghou, go to the Imperial Guard and bring over a few trustworthy men who, like you, come from humble backgrounds."

"You fire-cooking soldiers will be stationed here from now on."

"By the way, go to a remote village and secretly gather a few young bachelors."

"Yes!" Gong Zhonghou nodded, not daring to delay.

Gong Zhonghou was very efficient. When he returned, the number of Huochui Army soldiers had expanded to two hundred, all of whom were Gong Zhonghou's personal guards.

They were ostracized by the Imperial Guard and came here specifically to follow them.

"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!" They all knelt down.

"Ah."

Xu Bing nodded slightly; these would be his first batch of forces.

With a wave of his hand, his personal guards began to perform their duties, building houses and clearing weeds to expand the land nearby.

The terrain here is secluded.

To avoid being discovered, a simple sentry post was set up along the only route.

Then another incense stick's time passed.

Marquis Gongzhong invited seven single men from a remote mountain village.

"Are you willing to serve me?" Xu Bing asked.

The seven single men looked at each other, then knelt down at the same time, saying, "We are willing to serve the Imperial Preceptor!"

"Excellent!" Xu Bing was overjoyed; the initial team had been formed.

Next, he will teach them the cultivation techniques for four-crop rice.

With this technology, rice can be harvested four times a year, resulting in an incredibly lucrative fortune.

Because the original Jiumi rice, even in a blessed land, only ripened once a year.

That's equivalent to one year being equivalent to four years of Ji Yuan's work!

Do not…

And that's far from all.

In addition to four harvests a year, Xu Bing also received "People's Livelihood Technology: Agricultural Planting" from the system, which mainly involves fertilizer processing, farm tool making, and so on.

Fertilizer and agricultural tool technologies can increase the number of crops from four to six or seven.

In addition, there are the advantages of conventional farming: double the rate of crop maturity, increase the rate of high-quality crops, increase the resilience of crops to risks, and increase the probability of grain yield. Climate change can be ignored.

It was upgraded to a ripeness level of twelve to fourteen.

The addition of a rainfall halo ensures continuous rainfall in the fields.

With an additional 30% domestic support, it's estimated to be around 180% ripe.

In other words, in places where agriculture is highly valued, there can be eighteen harvests a year.

On average, it takes less than a month to ripen!

Moreover, its rice yield is far higher than others.

【Ding! 】

[Friendly reminder: This blessed land belongs to the host and can also enjoy the host's territorial bonuses. The blessing energy is increased by 30%, transforming it from a rare blessed land to a medium blessed land, and crop growth is accelerated again.]

It can ripen every seven days.

……

After finishing his work in the fields, Xu Bing rode back to his residence.

He actually had quite a bit of silver on him, because some time ago, his predecessor colluded with the Zhao and Sun families and received a lot of gold and silver treasures.

These treasures, if pawned, could yield several large chests of heavy silver.

Xu Bingzheng was in dire need of money. He needed to purchase "Nine Rice" seeds and also take care of the food and clothing of two hundred cooks. He roughly estimated that the money would be used up in a week.

However, once Jiu Mi matures, everything will be different.

Xu Bing didn't hesitate to pawn everything. With the money in his possession, he bought a lot of supplies and stored them in his mansion.

This action naturally did not escape the notice of the three high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

"Tell me, what's Xu Bing up to? Is he planning to establish a private army?" Duke Zhou frowned.

"That's probably it." Li Gong nodded, slowly sipping his tea.

“That’s wishful thinking.” The prince said indifferently, “Ordinary people need to cultivate at least five acres of land to feed themselves. How much more so for an army? The resources required are enormous.”

"With the current national strength of Da Xi, it is already extremely difficult to maintain the existing army, let alone expand the army."

"In my opinion, this Xu Bing is just a bald boy who knows some magic, nothing to be afraid of."

The group wholeheartedly agreed with what the prince said.

Suddenly, Duke Zhou asked, "By the way, how is that matter?"

Li Gong frowned and said, "I haven't received a reply, but... I've held that prodigy from the Zhao family a few times, so I should at least have some consideration for him, right?"

"It's hard to say," Wang Gong murmured. "The people on the mountain look down on us mortals. But then again, even if they received the letter and rushed over from Xiaoqiong Peak immediately, it would still take some time."

"Just wait quietly."

……

at the same time.

Within the territory of Da Xi.

Someone saw a young man, with feet treading on white jade, his body as white as jade, ethereal as a fairy, his eyes filled with great confidence, walking towards the Great Xi Imperial City.

"Wow!"

"What a handsome immortal!"

A child looked on with envy.

suddenly.

His gaze was seen by the young man who was stepping on him.

The young man frowned, his face showing displeasure. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind howled, lifting the child high into the air.

Then let it land.

boom!

Blood splattered.

The child's expression still held envy.

"Those who look with mortal eyes are disrespectful to the immortal master!"

The young man wouldn't leave.

He stepped on it, his expression arrogant.

"National Division?"

"A mere sorcerer dares to act arrogantly in the mortal realm. Once I enter the imperial city, I will show you what a true immortal is!"

"Before entering Xiaoqiong Peak, I had heard that Princess Ji Yuan of the Great Xi Dynasty was a woman of unparalleled beauty and charm. She should have already become the empress. I have come here to act on her behalf. I wonder how she should repay me."
