In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 809 A Glimpse of Hope

Three days later, the grand spring plowing began!

The people of Yongliang County carried their tools out of their homes and went to work on their own farmland.

Meanwhile, the government was not idle either. Whether it was the officials in the county government or the troops stationed outside the city, they were all doing their best to ensure the smooth progress of this spring plowing under the command of officials such as Li Yishan and Tang Qing!

"This is quite a show of force! We're even being watched by soldiers while we're farming."

"I heard that Marshal Yang himself came to our county!"

"true and false?"

"Of course it's true! I even saw the county magistrate with Marshal Yang yesterday!"

"Good heavens, even Yang Shuai came in person!"

"Such a high-yield grain variety, Yang Shuai will definitely pay attention to it!"

"Yes! If we can really grow 2000 catties of grain per mu, then we will never have to worry about food and drink again!"

"..."

Many people working in the fields noticed the army passing by from time to time, but they were not afraid!

They knew that the Yang family army was different from the imperial army, which was actually a bandit army. Under Yang Zheng's leadership, the Yang family army had never caused any harm to the poor people. Therefore, they were not afraid that these troops would harm them. On the contrary, they felt a little safer after seeing the troops patrolling.

And so, the "Prosperity Wheat" was gradually sown on the land of Yongliang County. Countless farmers carefully planted the "Prosperity Wheat" they received in their fields, as if they were planting not just seeds, but hopes for a better life!

…………

…………

"Prefect Li, Mr. Tang."

After spending three days in Yongliang County and confirming that there would be no problems with the sowing of the Fugui wheat, Yang Zheng bid farewell to the officials who remained in Yongliang County: "I entrust the matter of the Fugui wheat to you. I have other matters to attend to and need to go to Chenjia Village!"

Yang Zheng's trip to Yongliang County was only partly to ensure the successful sowing of Fugui wheat. He also had other matters to discuss with Chen Dao in Chenjia Village, so he would not stay in Yongliang County for long.

"Rest assured, Commander Yang, we will do our utmost to ensure a bumper wheat harvest!"

The officials present all made assurances.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng nodded, gave the officials some more instructions, and then left Yongliang County.

A day later, accompanied only by a few personal guards, Yang Zheng arrived at Chenjia Village at full speed and went straight to Chen Dao's house.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of Chen Dao's home, Chen Dao also successfully broke through to the realm of a second-grade martial artist!

In less than a year and a half, Chen Dao rose from an ordinary farmer's son to become a top-tier second-rank martial artist in the Nine Provinces, a speed that was undoubtedly astonishing.

Chen Dao's rapid advancement is inseparable from his "golden touch" (a special ability or advantage).

In this world, martial artists who want to improve their cultivation level either need to train diligently on their own or rely on various medicinal herbs.

Whether one cultivates diligently on their own or relies on medicinal herbs, unless one is exceptionally talented, their progress in cultivation level will be slow.

Just look at Li Hu back then; after decades of martial arts training, he only managed to reach the seventh rank.

Chen Dao, in less than a year and a half, advanced from a boy with no martial arts foundation to the second rank. If word got out...

Countless martial artists throughout Kyushu want to dissect Chen Dao!

The reason Chen Dao was able to improve so quickly was not only because of his own talent, but also because of the various chicken breeds he cultivated that could help with cultivation.

The magical chicken breeds such as Blood Feather Chicken, Crimson Blood Chicken, Qi-Gathering Chicken, and True Qi Chicken are far more helpful to martial artists' cultivation than medicinal herbs. Chen Dao, who has no shortage of cultivation resources, naturally made rapid progress in martial arts. In less than a year and a half, he became one of the top martial artists in the Nine Provinces!

"I've finally caught up with you, Xiaoyuan!"

Chen Dao gently stroked Xiao Yuan's head. Chen Dao's martial arts level had always been lower than that of the village's exotic beasts, so when he went out, he often had to rely on Xiao Yuan for protection.

Now, his level has finally reached the same level as Xiaoyuan's, and he possesses the same combat power as Xiaoyuan!

Of course, when traveling, one should avoid taking action if possible. Chen Dao is a man who values ​​his life. In the future, when encountering enemies, he will still let Xiao Yuan take action. Unless forced to, Chen Dao will never personally fight with others.

After all... Chen Dao's safety is not only related to him and his family, but also to whether the entire Chenjia Village can continue to develop.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The adorable little round thing raised its paw, as if to say: Master is amazing!

Seeing this, Chen Dao couldn't help but smile, holding Xiao Yuan as he lay down on the recliner, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

In Chen Dao's view, catching up with Xiao Yuan in terms of cultivation level was not something to be happy about, because it meant that the advancement of the village's exotic beasts had stagnated...

This is definitely something Chen Dao doesn't want to see.

Whether it's Xiaoyuan, Dahuang and Erhuang in the farmland, or the two Crimson Flame Chickens that keep circling over Chenjia Village, their next advancement requires a medicinal herb called Dragon Beard Grass.

As for this herb... Chen Dao has already asked the merchants who cooperate with Chenjia Village to inquire about it, but to this day, Chen Dao still has not been able to obtain any information related to Dragon Beard Grass.

The only clue was given to Chen Dao by Li Mingyuan.

According to Li Mingyuan, Dragon Beard Grass is a medicinal herb that can help high-level martial artists cultivate. It is extremely precious and rare, and only a few powerful families and the royal family have it in their treasuries.

This made Chen Dao feel extremely troubled. He couldn't reach the imperial treasury, and the treasuries of powerful clans...

Chen Dao had destroyed quite a few powerful families before, but it wasn't that Chen Dao looked down on them, but rather that they were simply unworthy of the title of "powerful family"!

The truly powerful families are those clans in the capital that wield power and have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

With Chen Dao's current strength, those powerful families can't do anything to him, but it's also impossible for Chen Dao to destroy those powerful families and take the Dragon Beard Grass from their treasuries!

Under such circumstances, obtaining dragon's beard grass would naturally be out of the question.

"I have a headache!"

Chen Dao stroked Xiao Yuan's head and sighed. He had always lacked a sense of security since transmigrating to this world, so he always attached great importance to the advancement of the village's exotic beasts!

In his view, the powerful mythical beasts such as Xiaoyuan, Dahuang, and Erhuang in the village were the key to Chenjia Village's strength and its fearlessness in the face of any external enemies.

However, the advancement of the village's exotic beasts has now stalled, and Chen Dao can't think of any solutions, which makes him very distressed, yet he is helpless!

We can only pin our hopes on the businessmen who cooperate with Chenjia Village, hoping they can bring some good news.

"Young friend Chen!"

Just then, a voice came from outside the door. Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Dao snapped out of his daze and winked at Chen Cheng.
