Chapter 453: White Porridge and Pickled Cabbage

Because the vegetative person sowed good seeds after the adjustment, the first crop was harvested and weighed to reach five bushels. The crazy researcher immediately established the Rice Worship Sect, named it the Five Bushels of Rice Sect, and made the host the Pope, calling him the Archdruid!
Zhang Wuji didn't care about these trivial matters and let them do whatever they wanted. At the same time, a new crop was soon developed, which was a stem mustard. What was commendable was that this type of mustard head itself contained salt, which could fully provide the human body with what it needed. After a simple drying process, it could be eaten with white rice. As long as it was eaten for a long time without vomiting, it could ensure the functioning of the human body.

The only drawback is that this kind of turnip requires a lot of animal flesh and blood to reproduce, but this is not a problem. Its excellent cost-effectiveness determines that this conversion is generally upward. In this chaotic world, ordinary people are lucky to have something to eat, so they won't be picky. The desire to eat meat is far lower than the demand for sufficient rice as a staple food, after all, they have to survive.

"As time goes by, the power of rice and this pickled mustard will grow. Just a full meal is enough to get more people to work for me. It is not an exaggeration to say that I can pacify the troubled times with these two things."

'Others are fighting and killing, but I rely on unlimited porridge and pickled mustard to pacify the world?'

Zhang Wuji felt that it was a bit absurd, but he knew that there would be another catastrophe in the Middle Earth. That is, after the estuary was blocked, the water source would be cut off, and due to the accumulation of drought air, a severe drought would sweep the world, and there would be no harvest. In the wilderness, what could be more important than having enough food?

"Could this be part of your plan?"

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Zhang Wuji looked at the thirty-six experimental subjects who had taken the Foundation Establishment Pill. Currently, the transformation of the host body by the Foundation Establishment Pill was still in the early stages.

Under his consideration, the host only derived two abilities, one is the control of nerve senses, that is, to weaken the pain, the other is the specialization of the skin stratum corneum, making the host's skin tougher and improving the ability to resist weapons.

Although these two abilities may seem simple and cannot deal with the magic of practitioners, they are enough to greatly increase the host's chance of survival on the battlefield of mortals.

"What do you think? Do you want to send them to the battlefield?" Baiyue walked over.

"I have this idea. As the saying goes, you train an army for a thousand days but deploy it only for a day. Although I have only trained them for a month, the energy and resources I have spent on them are more than those spent on training a noble cavalryman."

Zhang Wuji said: "The growth of the foundation-building pill requires sufficient nutrition. It is too slow to rely on them to meditate and practice Qi alone. What we lack is time."

"One step faster, every step faster. We have to establish the first-mover advantage before others react. When the snowball starts to roll bigger and bigger, we will be the one that dominates the trend."

Bai Yue also looked towards the valley: "You have been busy for a while to get these thirty-six experimental subjects. If you wait for some time and let them grow up, they will become generals and lieutenants in the army. They are the backbone and middle force supporting a force. If you let them go now, there will inevitably be casualties. Don't you feel bad?"

Zhang Wuji's eyes turned cold. "I am fighting for my life, not playing house. Not only they cannot predict life and death in the next moment, but I can't predict it either. Now it seems safe, how do you know that you won't use a black hand to smash you, me, and this valley into powder?" "I have heard such stories many times from you, sir. Since we are fighting for life, we can't be afraid of death. Only by living towards death can we grow fast enough."

"Although I won't say it, the mentality of the Red Flame Taoist Soldiers who have experienced a great war is very different from that of ordinary people. They also want to live, so they will cooperate with the crazy experiments of the neurotic worms."

Zhang Wuji pointed to the valley and said, "They have no worries about food and clothing, and they are practicing. Their wives, daughters and parents are all well taken care of by me. It's not surprising that I want to spare their lives, right?"

"I want brave men who can fight and dare to be the first to ascend the battlefield, not cowards who are afraid of being killed. Only those who dare to die are qualified to stand by my side and build a brand new capital. This kind of mentality has nothing to do with whether one is strong or not. Even if one has the cultivation of immortals and gods, there are still people who bully the good and fear the evil, who are submissive to their superiors and timid to their subordinates."

Zhang Wuji clenched his fists and said, "I am not sending them to die. There will be Red Flame Taoist soldiers accompanying them. The capable will live and the weak will die. It is time to see how far they can go after they are separated from me. After all, I am the leader of a faction. How can I clean up their mess all day long?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly with a hint of emotion in his words. He knew that the trouble caused by the psychopath these days made Zhang Wuji a little uneasy. He nodded and said, "In this case, let's issue an order to gather the troops. Except for a few Red Flame Taoist soldiers who serve as the logistics center, the rest will be sent to the battlefield."

Baiyue swept the surroundings: "They are just pieces of forged steel. Only blood and fire can shape them, sharpen them, and forge a steel army. Oh, right, let the Taoist soldiers restrain themselves, lest they get angry and reveal their weird nature. Then you will be a negative example for the righteous people in the world to attack. Now is not the time."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wuji also had a headache. He could only issue orders and secretly ask those psychopaths to keep an eye on it.

As soon as the order to gather the troops was given, the whole valley was in motion. Bai Yue looked at the crowded camp and suddenly said, "After this battle, it's time to transform the thinking of the Taoist soldiers and the foundation-building hosts, right? After all, the most important thing for an army is the guidance of ideas. A team with faith can unleash much more power than a few powerful magical powers."

Zhang Wuji rubbed his brows and said, "I have been pushing forward the establishment of ideas. At present, basic living security has been implemented, and it is time to start the next step of transformation."

He sighed, "Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like rakes. In this dynasty, soldiers are the biggest bandits. There is no difference between the two. The whole world is like this, and everyone is competing to be the worst. An army that does not disband after a big victory and does not commit rape and looting can be called an elite army, and an army that can enforce discipline is already the elite of the country. To achieve what you imagine, where the army and the people are like fish and water, and there is no harm to the slightest thing, is too difficult for people of this generation."

Baiyue nodded: "If it's difficult, then don't do it. It has been the right thing since ancient times? I don't think so. We have resources, food, population, luck, and technology. Are you really willing not to do something difficult but right?"

Zhang Wuji laughed: "Don't use me to provoke me, you and I are in a cooperative relationship. You want to use the world as a test field, and I also want to use the world as a chessboard. Isn't it just to train a strong army? I did it!"
