Chapter 19 "Exploring the Mountains and Exploring the Sea"

Xidu Wu Temple.

"Uncle, you see that you are in a state of dust and your breath is a little disordered. Have you used your strength?"

The second elder Wu Tong looked at the bald dragon with a smile.

The bald dragon said disdainfully: "A life-and-death bastard catcher sneaks into Xiguo to catch monsters, and I just clean up."

Wu Tong: "The king really did deal with these profit-oriented monster catchers back then, but he didn't expect that there were still people so unhappy."

"A junior of Shi's family, Benlong buried him."

"You killed it?"

"No, I still breathe when I was buried, so I guess I can't die."

"The king was back before. I heard from Cangman and the others that they encountered a monster catcher, and they even took action to save the red pig in Yingshui River from the monster catcher. What are you doing?"

"Hmph, that little guy from Shi could not beat Cang Man and actually threatened the prince. Humph, can he threaten the Xi family's bloodline at will?"

“Oh~”

"Wu Lao Er, what are you? Ben Long is trying to protect Youxi, not to stand up for that kid."

"I didn't say anything."

......

When he returned from outside the city, the palace guards performed their duties. Cangman went back to his home to change his wet clothes, while Yao Yun returned to the palace.

The servants quickly boiled the hot water, and Yao Yun took a hot bath very happily.

People in this world are very hygienic and do not take baths frequently. People like Yao Yun take baths even fewer every day. At first, people in the palace were confused, but later, at Yao Yun's request, people in the palace also began to take baths frequently.

Yao Yun lay quietly in the hot water, constantly recalling what he saw in Xidu today in his mind.

Based on Yao Yun's observation, he roughly got a general understanding of the world. This was a bronze age, and bronze utensils were quite developed. However, the problem is that the copper in this world is also a rare metal ore. It is precious metals, copper shells, copper blocks, knives, etc. that can be used as currency are widely used in the summer dynasties.

In this way, bronze artifacts are synonymous with wealth, and the life of bells and cauldrons is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, Yao Yun saw that the farmers' tools during autumn harvest were very primitive and ancient, such as stone knives, stone axes, stone rakes, etc.

In addition, the output of farmlands is the output of farmland. One mu of rice fields produces more than one stone, and fertile soil can reach two stones. The stone is the volume unit. Yao Yun personally asked Wu Tong, and only after calculating it, he found out that taking rice as an example, one stone of grain is about 100 kilograms in the previous life.

Compared with the high yields in the previous life, the world's grain output can be said to be very low, not to mention flood disasters, wild beasts, monsters and ghosts took turns to significantly reduce the output that was already low.

As for the output of the land, farmers need to pay 30% of the tax and 20% of the land rent. The tax is paid to Xiguo, and the land rent is handed over to the palace, in other words, to Yao Yun.

The other one is the slaves who farmed. Except for the tax they received, the rest of their wealth belonged to Yao Yun, and Yao Yun only needs to give them some food to live.

If you are ruthless and encounter difficult times, it is common for slaves not to give food to them and let them die by themselves. In the summer days, slaves are at the bottom and no one will pay attention to their life or death.

After understanding these, Yao Yun was really shocked. He suddenly became a landlord who exploited the vast number of working people, and he was also a slave owner with two thousand slaves.

For a moment, Yao Yun felt guilty and wanted to end this pattern, but he quickly calmed down.

He can be emotional and sympathetic to these people and slaves, but he cannot do anything to reform or liberate slaves when he is in a hurry.

He knew that it was inevitable to liberate slaves, and after liberating slaves, Xigong burst out with greater power, but it also depends on timing and productivity.

Although Yao Yun is exploiting these slaves, Yao Yun's savings are not much, and he often needs to subsidize Xidu. So in this way, it is easy to make Xiguo bankrupt, and the problem will be even greater at that time.

After thinking a lot, Yao Yunyou woke up, and suddenly he remembered the mission of inspecting Xidu published by Tianshu.

So, Yao Yun's mind changed and the Huangshi Heavenly Book in his mind slowly emerged.

Sure enough, the task was gone, and replaced by a complex and strange character, which was very similar to the magical powers of "Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes" I learned before, and seemed to be another magical power.

Yao Yun's face was delighted and immediately felt like he was learning. However, the hot water gradually turned cold, so he had to get up, put on his clothes, and return to the bedroom to practice slowly.

The side room of the bedroom is a place where grass and apricot leaves rest. Yao Yun asked them to go to the side room to rest and go back to the room to practice alone.

The power of the mind gathered, slowly touching the Huangshi Tianshu, and then the mysterious characters in the Tianshu slowly poured into Yao Yun's mind.

"Can Mountain Explore the Sea"

After learning, Yao Yun couldn't help but sigh. It turned out to be the magical power of surveying mountains and rivers. Using this magical power can survey minerals and animals in the mountains and rivers, etc....

Another auxiliary magical power!

Yao Yun was quite helpless. Although these magical powers were good, he still hoped to have some combat ability.

However, the only thing that made Yao Yun feel relieved was that when he comprehended the magical power of "Canshan Exploration of the Sea", his mind and spirit power were tempered. Now he practiced the "Lingshan Ten Witches Heart Method" and could already outline the six great witches with the power of spirit.

One night passed.

Yao Yun got up under the service of Xingye and Xiaocao, and by the way, he took the exam for their cultivation.

The result was naturally not as expected by Yao Yun.

Xiaocao can't learn it, but even remembers the "Ten Witches of Lingshan" in full. However, Xingye has already felt the power of his mind and started formal cultivation.

"Xiaocao, in the future, you will learn the word "Zhuxia" and the same will be true."

"Thank you, the king, Xiaocao is very content. It would be great if you can be with the king."

"Well, that's good, Xingye, you can practice well, of course, you have to learn the words."

"Here!"

After giving the order, after breakfast, Yao Yun rushed to the Wu Temple. He was about to find the second elder Wu Tong to learn aggressive witchcraft.

"King, what instructions do you have to ask me for?"

"Second Elder, I'm going to ask you about the witch's fighting methods. I've been practicing for a while and I'm a little successful."

The second elder Wu Tong was a little surprised: "King, I have only taught you the "Lingshan Ten Witches Heart Method". Don't be impatient. If the power of the mind is not enough, the witchcraft cannot be displayed."

Yao Yun frowned: "At least how strong mental power is needed?"

Witch Channel: "I am not good at fighting. At present, there are only two witch curses suitable for your cultivation. However, even these two sects require a certain foundation. Well, at least the power of the mind can outline the level of the six witches."

"King, you have just practiced the exercises. Although you have a good foundation, you can't practice so quickly. Let's talk about it later in a few days."

Yao Yun was happy and said, "Six Witches, just right, the second elder, I can condense the six great witches!"
Chapter completed!
