The young man was embarrassed. He said, "One thousand kilos of food per person."
The world is short of resources, and food is even scarcer. The paper money that Lei Sheng searched out from the soldiers in those two Dashan counties is not available in Lei County, and after walking for more than a month, Lei Sheng knows a part of the local customs here.
Most people in small places don’t make currency transactions barter.
Paper money circulates in big cities, and it is recognized that Leixian County produces its own paper money.
Although there are paper money, people prefer barter to trade.
Xiao Ju snapping fingers calculated "one thousand jins of food per person, we are seven people, that is …"
She’s a little confused
"Seven thousand kilograms of grain" said Lei Sheng. "As far as I know, the average grain yield per mu in Fenglei City is only three hundred kilograms a year. I want to learn from Wutong Mountain and plant five acres of land for at least one year to get enough."
Lei Sheng’s account is impressive to the young people who keep the mountain. "I can’t see that you are a good math kid, but you are covered in dirt and don’t look like you came from a big family. Where are you from?"
Lei Sheng’s skin is whiter than anyone he meets, and he can’t get tanned even in the sun. He didn’t attract people’s attention so that he could become a dirty child.
"Qizhuang people" Lei Sheng casually said a village name. "My family was robbed by bandits, so I escaped with them. I heard that Wutongshan recruited apprentices, so I came here. I can get revenge because I learned martial arts well, but what if I don’t have so much food now?"
Shoushan youth said, "It’s not impossible for people like you to sign an agreement."
"What agreement?"
"famine agreement"
"shortage?"
The youth guarding the mountain pointed to the Wutong Mountain and further explained, "There are still many places in the Wutong Mountain that have not been reclaimed. If you are willing to take the time to go to the Reclamation Mountain and then borrow seeds from our sect to grow grain, you can sign up when you have collected the required food."
Xiao Ju quietly said to Lei Sheng, "I don’t know how much 7,000 kilograms is, but I know how much food a field can produce. If we all sign up, how much effort will it take? If we don’t sign up, you should sign up alone."
Lei Sheng motioned for Xiao Ju not to say much. He said to the mountain-guarding youth, "Brother, can you show us where the mountain needs to be reclaimed first?"
Chapter 9 Conditions for Joining the Indus Sect
"Ok, you wait here for me to tell you, but …"
The young man who kept the mountain didn’t finish, but Lei Sheng understood what he meant.
"I don’t have anything valuable on me now, but my senior brothers can rest assured that if I plant food, I will take out 100 Jin to honor all my senior brothers."
Shoushan youth satisfiedly smiled "to say".
"Dare you ask what your brother’s name is?"
"Qingshan Xu"
After signing up, Qingshan Xu told several other mountain youths, "You stay here and watch my horse come back."
Then he turned away.
After waiting for half an hour, Qingshan Xu came with a respectful face and a half-white old man.
While walking, he said, "There’s nothing special about that little town, but it’s still a little young, and I don’t think it’s very capable. You really don’t need to go there yourself."
The old man ignored Qingshan Xu, etc. When he came to the mountain pass and saw a face of immature Leisheng, he couldn’t help but go to the crowd and look at Leisheng with his eyes exposed.
Leisheng bowed his hand to the old man to show his respect.
The old man said "Come with me" directly to Lei Sheng without asking anything.
Lei Sheng followed the old man to the north for a while, and then the old man suddenly sighed with emotion, "You are the only one who came to my Wutong Sect to enroll as an apprentice at such a young age for more than a hundred years. Did Qingshan Xu extort food from you?"
Lei Sheng said, "Should blackmail be considered?"
The old man smiled. "You are reasonable, so it’s not easy for me to go to this mountain. Shouldn’t you show something?"
LeiSheng dazed immediately white up "want you to find me together well I can give you one hundred jins of food as a reward"
The old man explained, "There is no difference between good land and bad land. Some people are diligent and lazy, and the land around Wutong Mountain is different from other places. If you are willing to make efforts, you can produce a variety of food in Wutong Mountain, and if you complete the qualification of entering the mountain in one year, Wutong School will commend you for turning the wasteland into a good land. These fields will not be distributed to your brother according to the harvest of the year."
Lei Shengwu nodded and thought of a question, so he asked, "What if there is a grain harvest in one year?"
The old man said confidently, "This kind of thing won’t happen in Wutong Mountain."
"What’s that?"
