Chapter 72: Both Sides Think the Other is a Good Person
Translator: 549690339
The Deshun Commandery Prince and the Prefecture Overseer did not chat for long before the Prefecture Overseer stood up and took his leave.
After the Prefecture Overseer left, the Deshun Commandery Prince looked at Chen Yang.” Disciple, I heard that you were in Chen City. Why did you ask the people to work before you gave them food?””
“If you continue like this, aren’t you afraid that this group of people will all run away? You must know that when you established your clan, you all swore a great oath of clan fate. If the number of people decreased to less than 10%, your grade would be cut off.”
Hearing the words of Deshun Commandery Prince, Chen Yang smiled and said,’”‘Master, you might not know, but the reason why I did this was to keep the people here.”
“Oh? I’d like to hear the details.” The Duke of Deshun was curious.
“Master, think about it. If we give out food for free, what will the people of Chen City think if the food is gone one day?”
“They will only think that my Chen family deliberately did not give them food and used it for other things.”
“So that’s what you’re worried about.” The Deshun Commandery Prince looked relieved.” It’s not easy for you to think of this.”
“But have you ever thought that by doing this, although they won’t hate the Chen family in the future, or rather, they won’t hate them much?”
“But once they run out of food, they will quickly leave, not caring about their friendship.”
“I have a way too.” Yang Chen smiled confidently.
“Oh? How do you plan to resolve this?”
“It’s very simple. As long as we don’t lack food, that’s enough.”Yang Chen said.
“Don’t lie to your master.” Deshun Commandery Prince thought that Chen Yang was just joking, but when he saw the determination in Chen Yang’s eyes, he stopped smiling.
“Disciple, do you really have a way to get food?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen knew that his plan was almost half complete. He immediately struck while the iron was hot,””Master, have you ever heard of brown soil?”
“Brown soil? You found the brown soil?” De Shun Commandery Prince’s eyes were instantly filled with joy.
“That’s right.” Yang Chen nodded.
This brown soil was the scapegoat that the Great Elder had found for Yang Chen. He was really lucky. This brown soil was similar to Yang Chen’s fertilizer in both appearance and function.
No, it couldn’t be said that. There were still differences in functions.
The fertilizer could only help normal rice, but the brown soil was a treasure used to cultivate spiritual rice and spiritual plants.
As for the formation of brown soil, it was somewhat similar to fertilizer. The fertilizer was fermented from feces. As for the brown soil, it was formed by the corpses and blood of demon beasts.
It was also for this reason that it contained rich spiritual qi and could be used as a spiritual field.
Hearing Chen Yang’s admission, various expressions flashed across the Deshun Commandery Prince’s face.” My dear disciple, isn’t it a little too extravagant to use brown soil to grow ordinary rice?””
“Master, you might not know this, but after a long period of observation by our clan, we discovered that a stalk of rice can germinate with just a little brown soil.”
“A few hundred catties of brown soil can produce enough food for the people of Chen City. The brown soil could produce about 100 catties of Level 1 Spiritual Rice.”
“It might not have been worth it in the past, but in this situation, it’s still worth it.”
Since no one had experimented with it, Yang Chen started to talk nonsense. Moreover, it was recorded in the books that brown soil could really grow ordinary plants.
However, there was no answer as to how much was needed. By then, even if someone experimented, Yang Chen could automatically match the experimental data.
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, the Deshun Prince smiled in satisfaction.” Not bad. You can use the treasure reasonably and not covet its higher value. Your Chen family should prosper.’”‘
“And if you harvest a lot of brown soil, you can sell it to other families. I believe that they will definitely be willing to pay spirit stones to buy it.”
“No, no, no.” Yang Chen shook his head.” Why would I need to sell brown soil? I don’t even have enough for myself. I can just sell the grains.’”‘
“I believe that if I force them into a corner, they will definitely be willing to pay spirit stones to buy my food. “However, before that, I still need Master to help me block the external pressure.”
“I can also give Master 50% of the spirit stones I get from selling food.”
“You little fox.” The Prince of Deshun laughed and said,”Your master doesn’t care about your spirit stones. You can keep them for yourself.’”‘
“Thank you, Master!” Yang Chen quickly thanked him.
When Deshun Commandery Prince saw this, he thought to himself, This child is still a child. He can’t even hold his ground with these few spirit stones.
According to Deshun Commandery Prince’s estimation, the Chen Family would not harvest much brown soil. After all, places that could produce brown soil would have powerful demon beasts living there.
Perhaps the Chen family was lucky enough to obtain some brown soil. But Deshun Commandery Prince could guarantee that the Chen Family would never dare to go again.
Of course, Chen Yang’s filial piety still satisfied the Deshun Commandery Prince, even though the spirit stones were a little too little.
Chen Yang also deeply felt the magnanimity of Deshun Prince.
Immediately, the two of them smiled in satisfaction.
After asking Deshun Commandery Prince about some matters related to cultivation, Chen Yang returned to the inn and waited for the selection of the Monster Slayer.
The sun set and the moon rose. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. The selection of the Demon Slayer Envoy officially began on the sixth day.
After sending Chen Xiao and the others to the assessment site, Chen Yang waited outside for the final results.
According to the rules of the Demon Slaying Hall, the selection had to be carried out in secret to prevent outsiders from disturbing the candidates.
After about a day, the assessment finally ended. Seeing Chen Xiao and the others in a daze, Chen Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, it can’t be that none of them passed the test, right?
“How was it? Did anyone pass the test?”Yang Chen quickly asked.
Seventh Brother, I passed.” Chen Xiao said dejectedly.
Seeing this, Yang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not completely wiped out. However, Yang Chen was puzzled. Didn’t Xiao Chen pass the test? Why was he still so dejected?
“Old Ten, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you pass the test? Why do you look so dejected?”
Chen Xiao heard Chen Yang’s words and slowly raised his head. A bitter smile appeared on his face.” Seventh Brother, do you think we can only show off in Chen City?”
“Why do you say that?” Yang Chen asked.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said,””Today, I saw many descendants of the aristocratic families. Every one of them is very powerful. I used all my strength to pass the test, but they passed it in a few moves.”
“It’s fine if they’re at the eighth or seventh grade. After all, their grades are high and they have a lot of resources. However, most of the disciples of the ninth-rank aristocratic families are stronger than us.”
“So that’s what happened.” Chen Yang smiled and patted Chen Xiao’s shoulder,”Our Chen family was established not long ago, so naturally we can’t compare with those old families.””
“However, you don’t have to be discouraged. I swear that it won’t be long before you surpass all the geniuses you look up to.”
“Is there really such a day?” Chen Xiao could not believe it.
“I will.” Yang Chen’s eyes flashed with determination..
