How could it be as advanced as the all-purpose medicament?
Zhang Tie almost burst out into laughter.
It’s not as advanced as the all-purpose medicament. It’s not even as fine as rice brew!
Zhang Tie shook his head as he added,
Commoners could casually make a barrel of it by fermenting their deserted green leaves, roots and stems, peels, kernels with ferment and water. Some people have already started to do it since a long time ago. Commoners liked to call it environmental ferment. However, I’d like to call it earth pulp. Only after irrigating a bit of earth pulp with water into farmlands will we gradually recover the quantity and structure of the destroyed microorganisms and flora, even better than before. This is how we extend our thanks to the earth…
Zhang Tie had not imagined that what he did occasionally in his teenage years could remind him of its great value when Taixia Country as a whole was facing grains crisis. Even Zhang Tie wondered whether this was the God’s will or not. Only irrigating a bit of ferment with water into the soil in which the microorganisms and flora had been destroyed could they recover the level of microorganisms and flora to its original level. However, the ferment being irrigated into the farmlands didn’t pose a high request to people. People could make it easier.
The land gifted people happiness and richness and people should return the earth with the pulpgreen leaves, roots and stems, fresh food and peels all come from the nutrients in the earth. After turning these things into ferment which contained a large number of microorganisms and probiotics and returning them to the earth, the mysterious energy and mysterial circulation would be established. In accordance with the great law, the microenvironment which was destroyed in the soil would be fixed. Additionally, the soil would be more fertile.
The thing in the container that Zhang Tie took to Ninghe Prefecture was actually ordinary ferment. The reason that Zhang Tie treated it so seriously at that time lay in that he had a simple thought insidehe wants to arouse the attention of people by this trick so that this simple yet efficient method could be spread across Taixia Country as soon as possible and the influence of the demonized grains could be reduced to its utmost extent.
However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that the demon army had invaded Taixia Country before his method took effect. Therefore, all the people in Taixia Country were attracted by the war in Peacewest Military Region. As a result, what he arranged with his full efforts at Ninghe Prefecture didn’t arouse too much shock.
However, gold would always glitter. With the coordination of No. 1 earthworm, the
earth pulp
made by Zhang Tie took effect in the official fields of Ninghe Prefecture soon. Benefited from it, the soil of the official fields in Ninghe Prefecture soon recovered its fertility and even got a big harvest in the second half of last year. Because of this, commander-in-chief appointed Zhang Tie as Weiji General.
General…why do you talk about this to me?
Lu Yanyu couldn’t help but be thrilled although he asked Zhang Tie calmly,
If the general doesn’t tell me this secret, you could arouse a greater shock and win a greater reputation for sure. You could even win countless wealth…
Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he shrugged and watched Lu Yanyu with shiny eyes,
What do I need such a great reputation for? As for wealth, do you feel that I lack money? As a knight, even the position as one of the top three counselors of Taixia Country is not as practical as forming one more chakra. I’m not interested in the career of officials. As Meng Shidao is going to be the prime minister, I won’t find trouble myself. If not being called by the commander-in-chief, I also had methods to do something in grains and Fiery Oil. I didn’t want to be Weiji General at all. The reason why I called you here is that I wanted to have an honest talk with you so that you will know that what I’m pursuing for in Peacewest Military Region doesn’t conflict with your pursuit. As my assistant, I hope you could help me sincerely. If you give me a hand at this critical moment, you’re actually helping Hua people and the Taixia Country as a whole…
Lu Yanyu finally changed his look as understood why Zhang Tie called him here. With a bitter smile, he watched Zhang Tie,
General, you have your plans. Without my help, you could also do your job well whether on grains supply or Fiery Oil…
Before Lu Yanyu finished his words, Zhang Tie had waved his hand to interrupt him,
I know what you want to say. It’s not difficult for me to do that. However, I would feel more relaxed if I handed it over to a completely reliable and able assistant. At least, I won’t play boring tricks with those people on my side as Weiji General. As the frontline is still fighting, many people are dying every day. I don’t want to stay here quietly. My time is precious. I’ve already done what I needed to do in Peacewest Military Region in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. I don’t feel like repeating it myself. Am I clear?
Clear. But I wonder why the general chose me?
Because of your ability and moral standards. Is that enough?
What if I refused your good intention, general?
If you dare to refuse it, I will find an excuse to kick you off, have you retire in advance or behead you so as to scare the others. After that, I will find another one from the Weiji envoys in the Peacewest Farming Administration and the other farming authorities who was a bit able and ambitious and would like to serve me sincerely. If one is not enough, I will find two; if two is not enough, I will make it three. As there’re so many envoys, I don’t believe in that I couldn’t find someone proper. At your position, I will give him only two choices, serve me sincerely or die…
Zhang Tie didn’t mind telling him about his plan to behead Lu Yanyu if the latter didn’t agree with him. That was so imposing!
After gazing at each other quietly for a short while, Zhang Tie’s eye light remained as firm and calm as a mountain; however, Lu Yanyu’s eye light was a bit complex. After a few seconds, Lu Yanyu suddenly let out a deep sigh as he moved a couple of steps backward and bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie once again,
From today on, Lu Yanyu would definitely exert my utmost effort to assist the general sincerely!
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he helped Lu Yanyu straighten up his body, arm in arm and said,
That’s great…
After making his decision, Lu Yanyu felt much relaxed. The moment he wanted to take out the two letters of appointment from his sleeve, Zhang Tie waved his hand towards him as he said,
You can determine the new Weiji envoys of Yuan Prefecture, Huanzhou Province and Gonghe Prefecture, Kangzhou Province by yourself. As you’re familiar with it more than me, don’t need to ask me about that on these trivial things…
Lu Yanyu’s heart palpitated. Closely after that, he revealed a bitter smile as he thought, ‘Qianji Hermit is really something and unpredictable. What I am considering carefully is nothing but sht in his eyes…’
