Shi Jin gritted his teeth and put the half of the corn into his mouth in order not to offend Zhang Shengli as much as possible.
I only bit it a little bit, and I could feel the disgust from afar.
"Why does tasting corn feel like it will kill you? If you don't eat it, give it back to me!"
Zhang Shengli stretched out his hand to grab the corn from the opponent's hand, but Shi Jin dodged directly.
At this time, he seemed to have changed into a different person and took a hard bite on the corn.
"No! What kind of rice is this?" Shi Jin asked while eating.
"corn!"
"Yes, it's corn. This rice is good. It's big and has a special way of eating. But I don't know how the yield is?"
Zhang Shengli couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead: "This corn is not a kind of rice. Alas, I don't know how to tell you."
"But this corn is a newly cultivated variety by me. It does not require high spiritual energy cultivation. If you want to introduce it to planting, you can consider buying seeds from me."
Shi Jin kept eating, and soon half of the corn had entered his stomach.
Satisfied, he threw the corn cob on the ground and said, "It's useless even if there are seeds. I don't know how to plant it."
"Doesn't your bank still have a few formation masters?"
"There are formation masters, but Dahuang City is not suitable for planting, so I don't allocate them here."
Zhang Shengli nodded and did not continue on this issue. Instead, he said, "How much rice are you going to buy this time?"
Shi Jin smiled bitterly: "Brother, you really wronged me. I really didn't plan to take away a grain of rice this time."
Zhang Shengli narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't figure out the other party's intention at all.
"What's the meaning?"
"Because I came here this time to bring bad news to my brother. This is also the reason why I temporarily decided not to buy rice."
Zhang Shengli did not answer, but waited for Shi Jin to continue speaking.
"My people have received the news. Soon, a large number of refugees will appear here."
"Chi Yang's method?" Zhang Shengli frowned.
"The preparation was the idea of the helper he invited."
"This idea has been used many times. Aren't all the refugees here brought here specially by him?"
"That was before. In the past, he had no helpers and was a little afraid of his brother. So when he used such methods, he would also cover it up. Therefore, the population here often increased, but it was not too much."
"But this time is different. This time, they have suppressed the criminals for several months and rushed here directly to increase the pressure on you."
Zhang Shengli showed no concern on his face: "I thought it was some clever trick, but it turned out to be this."
Shi Jin shook his head: "Brother, please don't be careless. The specific news I got is that they did not kill these refugees, but fed them well and rushed them all to this barren mountain. When the time comes, you guys will
If the population grows by thousands, will this food be enough?"
Seeing that Zhang Shengli was silent, Shi Jin continued: "Counting all the thousands of refugees, old, weak, sick and disabled, unless I also follow the example of Chi Yang and leave these refugees alone, how many harvests will you be able to sustain this time?
Months?”
"And the most important point!" Shi Jin took a deep breath: "Chiyang will intersperse his own people among these refugees. I haven't found out who they are or how many."
Whoosh!
Zhang Shengli's face changed. He was not worried about Chi Yang transporting people here. He was most afraid that the other party would use this method to directly send people to be traitors. Not to mention how many traitors there were, even if there was only one, if he was squeezed into his management by then.
At first glance, it's a huge problem.
"Is this news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. The source of the information is Chi Yan, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion. There is no way it is false."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Shengli put down Xiao Quting and bent down to salute Shi Jin.
This time, he was really grateful to Shi Jin for being able to put aside his own interests. Let alone what the other party's purpose was, just for this reason, the other party was worthy of his friendship.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Shi Jin quickly supported Zhang Shengli, looking flattered.
In terms of identity, he is only the manager of one force, while Zhang Shengli is the leader of one force, although this force has not yet taken shape.
In terms of strength, although he is the peak acquired, Zhang Shengli is at least innate.
Although there is only one word difference between nature and nurture, they are thousands of miles apart. It is possible that I will never be able to overcome this hurdle in my life.
"Brother came all the way. Originally I thought he was just buying rice, but I never thought he was still thinking about me. This gift is a must."
There was an unhidden smile on Shi Jin's face.
"It's not as exaggerated as my brother said. I am doing this for my own consideration. If it is true, it also shows that I have a long-term view."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Let's go, I'll take my brother to see my corn!"
Zhang Shengli carried Xiao Quting and walked toward another hilltop.
Nowadays, the roads between the various peaks are all accessible. Although they are still dirt roads, they are smooth and solid.
There are rice fields everywhere on both sides of the road, and there are busy rice harvesters everywhere.
Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, which made Shi Jin feel very emotional.
"The canals built by me are wonderful. Many people farm and only think about carrying water, but the canals crisscrossed by me have completely solved the problem of manpower."
"It's just a little trick. There is little water in the wilderness. This huge mountain only relies on the only water flow to solve the drought problem. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't make good use of it?"
"That's what I say, but there are a few more that I can think of. If it were as simple as what I said, this barren mountain wouldn't have not changed much all this time."
Zhang Shengli was a little embarrassed after being praised so much by Shi Jin.
"I wonder how much I know about flower shops?"
"Oh, brother, how about this?"
Zhang Shengli shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The last time I went to Dahuang City, I just had some contact with him."
Shi Jin laughed loudly.
"I heard that last time I went to the city ahead of me and got entangled with the girl from the flower shop in front of the door. Could it be that I fell in love with that girl?"
"It doesn't matter. I already have a wife at home, so why would I want to look for flowers and ask willows? I went to the flower shop just to bring Xiao Quting back."
"What's wrong with a grown man having three wives and four concubines?"
Hearing Zhang Shengli mention Xiao Quting again, Shi Jin couldn't help but become curious about the little girl in Zhang Shengli's arms.
"This girl's surname is Qu. What does it have to do with Phosphorescent City's music style?"
"Do you know the music style?"
"I don't know him, I just heard about it."
"She is the daughter of Qufeng."
"So..."
"Yes, Qu Feng is not dead. He is now in my wilderness mountain. Have you seen it just now?"
"Which one?"
"The man in the wheelchair harvesting rice."
The figure of Qu Feng suddenly appeared in Shi Jin's mind. There was no other person, just because although Qu Feng was sitting in a wheelchair, he had an aura that no one else had.
