No snow could be seen on the ground anymore, and in the clean farmlands of Yao Mountain territory, people had been working assiduously.
Taking Yao Mountain as the center, the surrounding area with a radius of thousands of miles was suffused with especially dense natural power, much denser than the other areas. Nourished by the dense natural power, the soil around Yao Mountain was especially rich. Picking up a handful of soil and squeezing it with one’s hand might even cause oil to ooze out of it.
The soil in here was way too fertile and those crops had already grown out for three feet in only half a month after their seeds were planted. Estimated by elderly people who were experienced in farming, crops planted in the farmlands of Earl Yao’s territory could be harvested in every one and half month, and in one year, each type of crop could be planted and harvested six to seven times. Apart from this, the harvest of every acre of farmland was twice as much as farmlands in other areas. Therefore, people living in Earl Yao’s territory would never have to worry about food.
Since the needs of food were fulfilled, people living in Earl Yao’s territory started to plant large numbers of fruits and vegetables. Same as crops like rice and wheat, these fruits and vegetables grew surprisingly fast as well. Especially for a certain types of vegetables which naturally had rapid growth, such as fragrant-flowered garlic, these vegetables could be harvest in merely ten days after being planted, and on the next day of the first round of harvest, the second round of harvest would be ready to be done.
These breathtakingly abundant agricultural products attracted large groups of wild animals, or in other words, the extra dense natural power which was still constantly growing in Yao Mountain area had drawn these creatures over. Some fierce animals wantonly intruded farmlands and even attacked people living in this area. These wild animals had brought quite a lot of troubles.
Therefore, Ji Hao opened the storage of armament and handed a big number of bows and arrows out. Additionally, Feng Xing selected over a hundred thousand young and healthy men who at least had some superficial understandings of archery from all of Ji Hao’s people. He divided them into over a hundred different sized hunting squads and sent them to every village and towns in Yao Mountain area to hunt those harmful animals in great quantities.
Those hunted animals were sent back to Yao Mountain city and became meat supplies for people living in Yao Mountain area.
With abundant grains, fruits and vegetables, and added with large amounts of meat as a source of energy, people living in Earl Yao’s territory now looked all healthy and especially strong.
In this era, when people didn’t have much of entertainment, and in this season with spring coming, flowers bloomed, and all kinds of animals started to breed. Soon, millions of newly pregnant women had emerged in Yao Mountain territory within only half a month.
Ji Hao always loved to see and hear things like this. He hurriedly let those apprentices in the department of magic medicine make sufficient amount of magic medicines and handed out to every family that had pregnant women. After taken these medicines, those pregnant women didn’t need to worry about their babies when doing daily work anymore. In addition to that, the babies nourished by these magic medicines would be stronger and healthier than the others after birth.
Most of these people living in Earl Yao’s territory were slaves. Their former owners would never treat them nicely like Ji Hao was doing. Instead, having little food to eat and little clothes to wear was the normal life that they had already gotten used to. Therefore, many of Ji Hao’s disciples who had been studying in Ji Hao’s dojo were born to be relatively weak. After Ji Hao had taken them as disciples, these kids had been taking all kinds of supportive medicines and gradually improved their body conditions.
Unlike those children, the new generations of Ji Hao’s people were nourished by magic medicine since they were still in their mothers’ wombs, because of which, their body conditions would be better than these older children, and after they joined Earl Yao’s dojo, their cultivation would raise faster. In the future, they could accomplish higher achievements than these older children.
Generation after generation, the people would grow stronger and stronger. This was how a powerful clan and a thriving territory gradually rose.
