Chapter 180: Precious Medicine From Xianshan Mountain, Studying Martial Arts
The sowing experiment continued in the afternoon.
Gu Ke learned something similar to a plow from a carpenter in Dawu, and gave it to Xiaoman and Saranzhu to play with.
He and Xiaoping'er also operated a plow each to sow.
The so-called plow is an ancient human seed drill that can be used to sow wheat, beans, and millet, completing the work of furrowing and sowing at one time.
Its appearance is slightly similar to a chair with a flat backrest.
The top of the "back of the chair" is a plow handle that people hold by hand.
A wooden box for seeds is fixed on the "chair surface", called a seed bucket.
There are hollow wooden strips at the bottom of the seed bucket called plow legs, which are connected to the lower seed tube with a hollow channel below.
When the plowshare can be inserted more than two inches deep into the soil, the seed holes on the lower seed tube above the plowshare can put the seeds into the soil, completing the furrowing and sowing in one go.
In this way, the sowing spacing and depth are relatively consistent, which can ensure that the crops receive close sunlight and nutrition, facilitate management, and have more stable yields.
The original version that Gu Ke learned had only one plowshare, commonly known as a single-legged plow, which was used for sowing in a single row.
He expanded it to a plow with two, three, five, or seven plowshares, which could sow the corresponding number of rows at the same time.
Anyway, the driving force considered in the design was the entry-level martial artists, whose strength was no less than that of the big animals in the previous life. There was always a plow with different numbers of legs that was suitable for them.
In actual use, you can first use the plowshare harrow to plow the land deeply, and then use this plow.
The results of large-scale testing are also very gratifying.
A seven-legged plow can sow a hundred acres of land in less than two hours.
Of course, this is due to the strength, physical strength, blood, and mind control of Gu Ke and the other four.
Under normal circumstances, it takes two people (one person and one ox or horse) to operate a plow, one person (or ox or horse) pulls the cart in front, and one person supports the cart in the back to sow.
Just talking about the double- and three-legged plows, ten-year-old boys and girls in Dawu can pull them.
Two half-grown children can sow dozens of acres of land a day using double- and three-legged plows.
This is undoubtedly great news for Dawu farmers who lack tools and have low productivity.
With this thing, farmers should worry about watering and fertilizing, as well as how to take out manpower to take care of more fields.
Who made Dawu full of uninhabited wasteland!
In the past, they were not well fed, and they had no strength to expand. Now these two problems will be gradually solved by exotic food and basic martial arts.
The huge manpower consumption on arable land and sowing has been reduced, and the day when the people of Dawu can farm and raise soldiers will be getting closer and closer.
Based on Gu Ke's understanding of Dawu, the overall martial arts Dawu people are by no means a gentle and harmless species.
The people have an urgent urge to farm and food.
If they can really beat the weird monsters and demons, they will never mind killing them cleanly and then using their land to farm.
The reason why they are weak is all because of their lack of strength.
After being satisfied with the test results, he conveniently transferred several plows with different numbers of legs and manufacturing process books to Miss Qin through the Qiankun bag.
Taiping Village has received many new villagers, and they need such good agricultural tools to produce grain.
Miss Qin suddenly received a large number of plows and related books, and immediately cursed someone in her heart: What are you sending every day? It's either fertilizer or agricultural tools. Is this the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Works?
As for the special pills that Gu Ke sent not long ago? They were prepared for the two unlucky guys Meizhu, not for Miss Qin.
If Gu Ke knew, he would definitely feel wronged.
The last time he projected over to save lives, he noticed that Meizhu's food pills were all used up when he scanned with his divine sense.
According to his logic, it is probably because Miss Qin has too little stock, and they are reluctant to bring more when they come out.
How can this be possible? As the saying goes, food and grass must go before the troops move.
So the processing workshop recently automatically processed and produced a large number of special foods, pills, and medicines and sent them to the processing workshop.
Anyway, there is no restriction on sending inanimate objects out of the Qiankun bag, so it is just like cleaning the warehouse.
But for the eldest lady, this cannot change someone's behavior of stuffing fertilizers and farm tools into the Qiankun bag when he has nothing to do.
She was thinking about the various foods he made before, and now she thinks that the food and fertilizer are taken out of the same bag, so she can't help but have a mental allergy.
Although she scolded him, she still handed over the batch of farm tools and books to Li Xiuer after scolding, after all, they are innocent.
Gu Ke's mind vaguely sensed something, but there was no good way.
If you can use the Qiankun bag, of course there is no need to use karma money, that's too wasteful.
The agricultural science and engineering books are over level 100, and there are thousands of skills recorded in the literary classics. Just throwing some out can use up the karma money of Taiping Village.
If he is really that rich, save it up and let him take action once in an emergency, wouldn't it be better to kill a few blood ghosts and hundreds of black and white ghosts?
Besides, he had not thought about maximizing the scope of the gift of karma money.
Human hearts will never be satisfied.
If we don't want to repay kindness with enmity and make the people of Dawu lose their will to fight for survival, the Immortal Mountain cannot show an attitude of responding to every request.
That would make the people look down on the exotic food, martial arts, and skills they have obtained, and over-exaggerate their demands on the "Immortal Mountain".
So far, most of the sincere people have received blessings about twice.
Including the one time of trading at the roadside stall, most of the good things they got from the Immortal Mountain were a kind of exotic seed and two martial arts.
This can allow most people to become entry-level warriors, which is enough as a universal welfare benefit.
Just like in the last life, China's education was initially aimed at universal literacy, and then it was upgraded to nine-year compulsory education.
After that, there was no twelve-year compulsory education, or even compulsory university education.
The reason is simple, the higher the level of education, the more resources it consumes.
Unless it is a small country with a small population, no country can provide the massive resources of a "university for all".
What Gu Ke did in Dawu is the same, except that he turned "cultural education" into "martial arts education" and literacy into the entry of martial arts.
The places and people that he can take care of more are naturally those that have been observed and determined to be worthy of cultivation.
Most people who want to advance to the second round must rely on their own efforts, rather than expecting the immortal mountain to issue "welfare for all".
He has given the people of Dawu a higher starting point. If they don't work hard or have bad luck, they can't blame others.
...
The five hundred and fourteen years of Dawu are passing by little by little.
Gu Ke is obsessed with his new literary talent, and devotes more time to theoretical learning and organization of martial arts and skills.
The skills are okay, and some of the side skills can also be used to improve the living conditions in the cave, so it is worth learning.
The cost-effectiveness of studying martial arts is not that high for him.
The high-level Wuxiang Zhenjing, plus the five system-specific martial arts, almost covers and surpasses the practical effects of most martial arts.
But as a fan of martial arts and kung fu culture in his previous life, he still can't give up his interest in martial arts.
He didn't get involved much before, firstly because he didn't have a theoretical foundation in martial arts, and secondly because the Wuxiang Zhenjing and Dawu's martial arts paths are very different.
Before the valley was upgraded to the cave, it lacked both craftsmanship and Tianfu Tongbao for trading outside.
In the past few years after the cave was upgraded, with the increase in the number of stalls and locations, the raw materials in the cave were greatly enriched, and the manufacturing and processing capabilities were greatly improved.
More importantly, there are a lot of Tianfu Tongbao accumulated, and every time you can choose a suitable trading partner in a big city, and trade a large number of materials from the outside world.
The daily necessities and materials in the cave are no longer in short supply, and it can even be said to be very rich.
Take the salt that has not been produced in the cave as an example. He just had a "friendly negotiation" with the local garrison commander when he set up a stall in the big city by the sea.
The second-round, sixth-turn garrison commander did not even have the courage to refuse in front of the Tiangong character.
Of course, roadside stalls will not force sales. Gu Ke just didn't want the garrison commander to cheat and waste Tianfu Tongbao.
The actual transaction to the garrison commander was a bottle of ten medium-quality blood-replenishing pills.
The so-called medium-quality is the standard that Gu Ke set up after the production in the cave became more and more abundant.
This is to facilitate the daily storage, registration, and classification of various materials and items. Generally, they are divided into ordinary, medium-quality, high-quality, and special grades.
The blood-replenishing pills processed from ordinary heterogeneous purple wheat are ordinary grades, which are extremely effective for first-round warriors and can also be used by second-round warriors.
The medium-quality is processed from the purple light three treasures wheat grown in the fairy field. The effect of using it by second-round warriors is extremely good, and it is effective but slower for martial masters.
The top-grade products are the special purple-light three-treasure wheat products from the Blood Spirit Fairy Field. Wu Zong can restore a large amount of blood and qi when using them. Meizhu and the others mainly take these top-grade blood-replenishing pills when they go out.
As for the special blood-replenishing pills, it all depends on luck.
Occasionally, they will have a super strong blood-replenishing effect during processing. Wu Zun said it was good after using it, but the output cannot be guaranteed.
The middle-grade products are almost useless to Gu Ke and Miss Qin, but they are good things that Wu Zong needs in the outside world.
Because with Wu Zong's blood and physical strength, ordinary medicines can no longer work.
The guard thought he was blackmailed at first, but when he got the middle-grade blood-replenishing pills and knew their effects, his attitude immediately changed drastically.
Before closing the stall, he raided the warehouse of the largest salt merchant in the city, a total of 200,000 kilograms of crude salt, and asked the soldiers to deliver it to the roadside stall.
Even if there was someone behind the salt merchant, the guard didn't care.
One blood-replenishing pill can make the person behind the scenes not pursue it, and two pills are enough to make him laugh like a pig.
Coarse salt can be bought with money, but the top-grade precious medicine that can save the life of a second-level warrior and heal the wounds of a martial master is a rare good thing.
In fact, it is not only Gu Ke who has "wholesaled" things in this way, Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er have also bought them.
Xiaoping'er is more interested in various silk threads, fabrics, and dyes.
Xiaoman is more casual, sometimes she wants certain snacks, sometimes she wants certain ingredients and spices.
No matter what they like, Gu Ke has only one requirement - pack the whole thing, don't be stingy and take only a little.
If you need silk threads, fabrics, or fuel, you can empty a cloth shop, and if you like ingredients and snacks, you can empty the ingredients of a snack shop or restaurant.
Anyway, there is only one rule - "Xianshan" never uses money to buy things.
Ordinary people can exchange for a martial art and the medicine they need for cultivation, and big forces or second-level warriors can directly give pills, which are more valuable than any money.
In the past few years, local officials, guards, and leaders of forces who have heard of such good things have been seen from time to time.
They would wait eagerly at the roadside stalls, hoping that Shennong, Tiangong, or a few maids and fairies would suddenly say "I want something", and the reward would be at least a bottle of ten life-saving medicine (medium-grade blood-replenishing pills).
There were also a few who were luckier and got the soul-soothing pills and mind-calming pills that Xiaoman casually gave them. After taking them, they could increase their mental strength and improve their mental resistance.
This thing would be treasured by martial masters, not to mention martial masters, because there are fewer precious medicines with this effect.
For Gu Ke, the probability of these pills appearing is just lower than that of blood-replenishing pills.
People who have enjoyed the soul-soothing properties of the cave bedroom will maintain their mental strength and mental resistance after taking it. It can only be used as a recovery medicine for mental exhaustion after a war.
Miss Qin and her friends are strong and rarely encounter danger when they go out, so the demand for this kind of medicine is extremely small.
Xiaoman's unintentional act is not without benefits. Since then, the attitude of the four countries towards the fairy mountain has become much more ambiguous.
The popular exotic food and basic martial arts have no appeal to them, but the precious medicine that is hard to find is worth a lot.
The two great priests of the Dawu Palace even made a public statement - the soul-soothing pills and the calming pills must be handed over, and those who hand them over will receive a generous reward.
To a certain extent, this also means that the ruling class of Dawu publicly recognizes that Shennong and Tiangong are equal to them.
They are in urgent need of these precious medicines, but they can't catch Shennong and Tiangong and force them to hand them over, so they can only do this.
The two great priests are old and smart, and they know very well that the royal family worships them because of their own strength, and face is useless.
Gu Ke was not worried about his own strength, so he had time to study martial arts.
Besides, Bai Suqing was still in deep meditation, so it was his turn to watch the two children's training and make sure nothing went wrong.
Over the years, he had also sorted out the detailed ideas and context of the Dawu martial arts system.
Compared with the complex training in many national arts, martial arts, and fantasy novels that he had read in his previous life, the Dawu martial arts system seemed very rough.
There were no meridians and acupoints, and everything revolved around the body and blood.
But several top-grade and super-grade martial arts proved that this system was not simple at all, let alone rough, but just took another path.
The first round of the Great Bright Wheel was the foundation. After entering the martial arts, the martial artists adapted and learned at this stage, completing the training and fighting with their own bodies and blood, similar to the external martial arts in the previous life.
By the second round of the immovable wheel, the circulation of blood and qi in the body was stable, and the skills of external fighting gradually matured, which was not much different from the masters of internal energy and internal strength in the novels in the previous life.
Once you enter the third ego wheel, the way forward for cultivation is to awaken the ego in the blood and qi.
Gu Ke sometimes thinks that this may be activating some fragments that remain in the underlying genes of the body.
In this process, it is not only the body that is strong, but also the mind, or the mind, thoughts and the like, which have some meanings of the combination of mind and body.
When the mind moves, the body moves, and when the body moves, the blood and qi move. This is the effect of the transformation of the martial arts master into the martial arts saint.
When the martial arts master fights the martial arts master, most of them still use the quality and quantity of blood and qi to suppress others.
When the martial arts saint fights the martial arts master, using less blood and qi can also make the martial arts master be controlled step by step and win easily.
According to the description of the online novel in the previous life, the first round relies on strength, the second round is a competition of skills, and the third round has some meaning of Tao in it.
