Chapter 714: People-friendly Official
However, what Chu Yang was thinking now was whether he should cultivate the spiritual medicine first or open up the spiritual fields and plant food crops according to Wei Huai's idea.
At first, he wanted to cultivate the elixir first, and let the Wei family provide food such as spiritual rice first, so that the elixir could be produced and sold in the heaven.
Su Qinghua walked around the field, heard the discussion between the two, and reminded: "Food security is an important factor in the stability of a region. I suggest planting crops first, and then planning for development after the busy farming season is over.
The past two years are an important period for land reclamation. During this period, villagers need to consume a lot of food to maintain body functions. These consumptions are definitely much greater than before and cannot be calculated at normal levels. If the supply of food exceeds demand, it will be a disaster. "
Chu Yang was shocked when he heard this. He really hadn't considered this issue. Take his cultivation as an example. When he was in the late stage of foundation building, he could practice up to ten jade spirit pills, but when he reached the peak of foundation building, his spirit Dan consumption increased several times.
The food grown in Ruoye River can just meet the daily consumption of the tribe, just enough to maintain a balance.
However, when these two hundred people arrived in the cave, they were eager to exploit the large amount of abandoned spiritual fields, so they were very motivated and used up almost all their enthusiasm. They got up at sunrise and returned at sunrise, wishing they could live there. field.
Correspondingly, by contributing so much power, the body must take in energy supplements, and this energy is much greater than before, so naturally we eat a lot more food.
Based on this calculation, the food that barely met the demand in Ruoye Creek in the past would definitely not be enough for the Wei family under the special circumstances of the land reclamation period.
Looking at Su Qinghua chatting with the villagers, Chu Yang once again realized how important it is to have an experienced professional to carry out people's livelihood projects!
After wandering around the fields for a long time, Chu Yang already understood the general situation and planned to take Chu Shiwen and others back.
"Xiaoyang, I think this place is quite nice. Why don't your aunt and I live here?"
Before leaving, Su Qinghua suddenly said.
Chu Yang was slightly surprised and said in confusion: "Uncle, I have arranged a place for you and your aunt to live at the top of the mountain. Why, are you not used to living here?"
"It's just that if you can't live in a nice palace, Fei wants to live here without knowing what's good or bad!"
Su's mother said displeasedly, she was extremely satisfied with the palace, and being able to live in such a high-end and classy place was a great honor!
Su Qinghua shook his head and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but we are outsiders after all. If we live in the Liyuan for a long time, it would seem a little unruly. Besides, you said you want me to help you take care of trivial matters. If you keep Living on the top of the mountain, it’s a bit inconvenient to get up and down, so I can’t have someone take me down every day.”
Chu Yang said hurriedly: "Uncle, it's not a big deal. I plan to let Yue'er and Xiao Yuan be the guest elders of the Liyuan. We are all our own people. It doesn't matter if we live in the palace. It's empty anyway. It's actually empty. It’s very convenient. There are so many disciples in our sect who can control the wind. It’s easy to send you to and from you, so there’s no need to go out of your way.”
"These are secondary. You know I am not used to idleness and always want to find something to do. If I live down there, I can walk around when I have nothing to do, chat with the villagers to pass the time, and get closer to each other. It will be easier to explain anything in the future. If I keep acting aloof, I'm afraid I won't be able to be a 'people-friendly official'," Su Qinghua insisted.
After hearing this, Chu Yang felt that it made sense. He really wanted to leave the daily affairs to Su Qinghua to arrange. If he could put down the burden and build a good relationship with the villagers, he would definitely be able to get started with his future work faster.
However, according to Su Qinghua's idea, living with the villagers while living in a luxurious palace, wouldn't it be a bit too harsh on his future father-in-law?
Seeing Mother Su's dark face, obviously feeling that the conditions here were too bad, Chu Shiwen and Wei Yuxin looked at each other and said, "Xiaoyang, your uncle Su is right. Although the conditions in Zhu Yunfeng are good, they are only so big after all. place, if you are all busy practicing, we idlers can't even find anyone to talk to. We might as well live at the foot of the mountain. With so many people accompanying us in the village, at least we can chat, isn't it? I think, You go make arrangements and your mother and I will live in the village."
When Su's mother heard this, she hesitated again. She was also a lively person. She would go shopping and chat with some close friends on weekdays. If these young people had all gone to practice, only a few of them would be left. Elders, wouldn’t that mean you’d be bored to death?
Wei Yuxin struck while the iron was hot: "Xiaoyang, the top of the peak is actually not much different from the bottom. It's not very far away anyway. If you feel sorry for it, just keep the rooms in the palace for us. We can stay there if we want to go back someday. God, that’s the best of both worlds, right?”
"This is a good idea!"
Chu Yang smiled and said: "Well, let me discuss it with Uncle Wei Huai and ask them to help you build two yards in the village. Once they are done, they will tidy them up. In short, they will be more comfortable and you can live at ease. Uncle and aunt, what do you think? How about it?"
"According to your."
Su Qinghua nodded, but did not forget to remind: "Don't make it too luxurious. We are not local emperors, so there is no need to make it so high-profile."
"That's the truth."
Chu Shiwen also nodded.
Chu Yang shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the village and said, "I can't live in luxury even if I want to. Due to limited conditions, I can only build this kind of rough wooden house. However, I need to get better furniture and other things at home so that I can live comfortably." some."
After discussing this matter, Chu Yang called Wei Huai and talked about the specific matters of building the house.
Soon, Wei Huai asked a few villagers who had worked as masons to come over and build houses not far from the ancestral hall and meeting place built in the village according to Chu Yang's requirements.
Chu Yang naturally had to go out with his disciples to cut a large number of logs from afar.
After spending half a day preparing the materials, Chu Yang handed the rest of the matter to Wei Huai and took Wei Yuxin to the residence of Wei Zirui and others.
Strangely, he scanned the yard with his spiritual consciousness but did not find any trace of anyone, which made him feel a little strange.
After asking around in the village, he found out that these four guys went out early in the morning, saying that they were going to the surrounding area to see if there was anything fun.
Chu Yang had already investigated the surrounding area of the settlement. Except for some wild beasts, there was no major danger. The four of them were all in the foundation-building period, and with the magic weapon Chu Yang gave them, they could easily deal with it, so they were not too worried.
However, Wei Yuxin hadn't seen these nephews and nieces for a long time. She had planned to see them when she came in the morning. Now that she couldn't see anyone, she urged Chu Yang to go look for them.
Chu Yang had no choice but to fly up to the sky and look around. Unfortunately, the surrounding forest was dense, and it was very difficult to find the traces of the few people.
