On Epo, this barren mountain that was once inaccessible has become noisy for the first time today. On its slope facing north and south, the dense weeds and shrubs that used to grow tangled and unruly have been shoveled away and left to the side.

, exposing the land underneath that had been hidden from the sun for many years to the sun.

On the flat surface that had been shoveled from the once rugged hillsides, a giant double-sided plow the size of a house, driven by the magic of a group of children, cleanly broke open the hardened earth and turned up two feet of soil.

The ditches are like vigorous earth dragons, charging forward at an alarming speed, leaving behind soft and broken new soil. This should be an ordinary reclamation scene, but after the speed and scale are expanded to a certain level, it becomes...

There was some kind of shocking and majestic momentum.

"I was suddenly thinking..." Lou Wuchen suddenly said from a distant hilltop, looking at the scene on Dui'epo, "...is this considered child labor?"

"City Lord, we have carefully negotiated the remuneration with everyone..." Xiao Qiongqiu looked helpless, "Although it is indeed inappropriate to use ordinary coins to hire cultivators, it is not appropriate to let students find internships to earn money for the New Year.

Is it your decision?"

"...I just made a casual comment, there is no need to reply so seriously..." Lou Wuchen wiped away the non-existent sweat, "Where are the other pilot places?"

"Using the grain purchased from other places as rewards, we hired villagers from eight villages with a poor harvest this year, including Xiaoheba, to cultivate the land according to your plan. Although it was far less than the speed of the children's magic, it was still possible before the end of the year.

If we can complete the reclamation work, we can catch up with planting next spring."

"Don't just look at the time of reclamation." Lou Wuchen said, "When the land is ready, we need people. It takes time to determine the candidates for the experimental field, mobilize and relocate. These tasks must be done simultaneously. This first phase is to

As a demonstration for everyone to see, if it is not finished by spring, it will miss the farming season and it will be delayed for another year. Have the first batch of candidates been gathered?"

"... I'm sorry City Lord, we have only collected less than 40% so far." Xiao Qiongqiu said with a bitter face, "Although the land is distributed for free, we require them to cultivate designated crops according to the method designated by us. Many of them are

People still have concerns about this, and some even suspect that the land distribution is a trap, just to trick them into cultivating the fields and then taking them back... City Lord, haven't we made preparations to provide them with food rations even if we fail? Do you want to ask them directly?

Explain it to relieve their worries?"

"No, that's just a precautionary plan. Once it's revealed, the nature will be different. We can't let them think that they are working for the city lord's palace. They must work for themselves." Lou Wuchen raised his head, as if reminiscing about something.

As if looking into the distance, "The people are always like this, hardworking but numb, simple but cunning, wise but ignorant, kind but vicious... Therefore, they must be guided in a reasonable way."

After sighing, Lou Wuchen's tone became firmer again: "This condition is already very generous. Any additional promotion of benefits will only increase suspicion. The original planned policy remains unchanged, but the target can be more liberal. Those whose families are not well-off

Good ones, or those with too many brothers who cannot inherit the land, including those with poor economic conditions in the city... can all be considered for development. If the first batch of demonstration effects next year are good, then the resistance to promotion in the entire region will be much smaller.

, and about—who!”

The powerful fluctuations that suddenly appeared behind him made Lou Wuchen's expression suddenly change. He quickly pulled Xiao Qiongqiu over, and with a puff of spiritual energy around him, green-gold flowers, birds, lotus and fish appeared instantly, protecting the surroundings tightly!

"Huh?" A somewhat surprised and surprised voice came from the direction of the strong fluctuations, "Blessed by the gods? That's interesting."

The powerful fluctuations turned into red energy waves, rolling in with actual pressure. The vision around Lou Wuchen stubbornly resisted and transformed this terrifying power that far exceeded the Guiyuan realm, but was still suppressed a little bit.

It collapsed and shrank, and was swallowed up into the red sea of ​​air. Lou Wuchen gritted his teeth and was about to use his last remaining land of nothingness, when the red sea suddenly disappeared like a receding tide.

.

On the edge of the cliff after the red tide dissipated, the tall and capable figure of the Red Lotus Taoist Master was revealed: "You can actually turn the vision of the gods' blessings into a protective spell. Not bad, how do you do it?"

"Tao Master..." Lou Wuchen let out a long sigh, "Please don't do this, it's not good for your heart..."

Lou Wuchen put away the spells around him and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I have seen too much..."

Lou Wuchen's experience of repeatedly breaking through and returning to the Yuan Dynasty, although observing the breakthrough phenomena at close range brought great benefits to everyone, the one who benefited the most was actually Lou Wuchen himself.

In the torture process of falling and advancing again and again, Lou Wuchen's understanding of the entire breakthrough process became more and more profound. In addition to gradually transforming the original metaphysical and unspeakable wonders of Guiyuan Realm into something that can be quantified and

The reappearance of the experience allowed me to study and imitate the structure of the vision protected by the heavens during the breakthrough over and over again, and finally formed the spell just used.

Although there are still many parts of this spell, why it is structured in this way, Lou Wuchen is still unable to understand it. It is like he can’t figure out what the use is, but the program cannot run after deleting it. Compared with the original version, it is truly almost invincible.

The defense lacks some decisive essence, but it is still an extremely terrifying defense method - only Lou Wuchen of Guiyuan Realm relied on it to temporarily resist the Red Lotus Taoist Kill Me Realm.

A casual blow!

"——That's about it..." Lou Wuchen signaled Xiao Qiongqiu to leave with a look. After a brief description, he found that the Honglian Taoist in front of him was a little different from usual, and his aura was deeper and unfamiliar. "

You are..."

"Oh? Did you find it? You have good observation skills." Honglian Taoist nodded slightly, "Yes. Strictly speaking, the previous me was just a state of pseudo-killing me when my soul was reborn. A few days ago, I retrieved my old things and retreated and merged them.

, only now can we truly reach the Kill Me Realm."

As Taoist Honglian spoke, he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the scene of a huge plow cutting through the earth in the distance: "This scene... is a bit nostalgic..."

Lou Wuchen naturally knew what Red Lotus Taoist Master was referring to. In the dream of Shanggong Tianzun, he also saw the scene during the Shinto farming days: the power gathered by thousands of people divided the mountains and broke the soil under the control of one person.

Just as large-scale mechanized agriculture in previous lives could easily process vast tracts of land, the power of gathering people to achieve qualitative change is the root cause of Shinto's ability to greatly improve the living conditions of mortals.

——Of course, it is precisely because of this power that allows ant-like mortals to confront immortals that the immortal way will spare no effort to obliterate the existence of the divine way...

"I heard what you said before - hardworking but numb, simple but cunning, wise but ignorant, kind but vicious... Did you think of this yourself?" Honglian Daoist turned to look at Lou Wuchen.

, with a strange look in his eyes, "Have you understood the relationship between Shinto and the people to this extent? Should I be said to be worthy of being the son of the Shang Palace..."

In contrast, the children of Honglian Dao are too naive - the master of Honglian Dao thought - they have not experienced the real struggle and still regard resisting the Immortal Dao as a romantic thing, and they only care about all the people.

Simply view it as the relationship between saving and being saved... Is it because of 'my' naive founding philosophy, or because my transformation of them is still insufficient...

"——Taoist Master." Lou Wuchen frowned when he heard the words "Shanggong Tianzun." "This topic... I don't want to discuss it now."

"...Really." Honglian Taoist Master smiled casually, "Forget it, using the magic of immortality to serve us is what I have always wanted to do. How are you going to ensure the continuation of all this? Without your

Constraints, there are countless ways for cultivators to obtain wealth that are much simpler than this, right?"

Lou Wuchen was silent for a while: "...Actually, I have never thought about continuing like this. Compared with their work of casting spells, the rewards for plowing do not match, and they are asking them to contribute in disguise - now

I just borrow it for a special stage. In my plan, other forces will realize all this in the future..."

"The technology and science you mentioned before? Well, let me look forward to it." Honglian Taoist patted Lou Wuchen on the shoulder, "The Chinese New Year is almost here, you should also take a rest and come back to the Heavenly Palace. Although

Now I have the body of an immortal, but it is still necessary to have a New Year’s Eve dinner.”
