Chapter 275 Recruiting Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou
Seeing that his words had an effect, Jiang Li struck while the iron was hot and made a promise on the spot, "I, Jiang Li, promise again that all the money I obtain from treasure hunting in Pingshan this time will be used to resettle the people who were displaced by the drought this year!"
"If there is any surplus, it will be used to develop Hunan's economy, build new schools and improve people's livelihood. It will never be used for anything else. I will bear all the bad reputation!"
Thousands of practitioners were finally relieved after hearing Jiang Li's words. At this time, a Maoshan Taoist priest stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, "Master, you are so kind. I am willing to take this risk!"
Afterwards, everyone praised Jiang Li for his righteousness and expressed their willingness to give it a try.
Only then did Jiang Li nodded, and then ordered his men to carefully check the supplies before giving the order to set off.
Along the way, he specifically called the director and deputy director of the Supernatural Bureau, Xie Changfeng and Wang Yuanyi, two Maoshan Taoist priests, to his modified truck and asked them about the spiritual objects they had searched for during this period.
"Thanks to the commander's strong support, our Spiritual Bureau has not only recruited hundreds of practitioners during this period, but also, with the help of tens of thousands of troops, we have traveled all over Guangxi, all the mountains and rivers with names and surnames!"
“Not only did we collect 136 precious medicinal herbs, but we also discovered a large number of great medicinal herbs that are eighty or ninety years old.”
"However, in order not to damage its roots, it has only been recorded in detail and has not been excavated for the time being."
Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. "It's not bad to have gained so much in such a short period of time. After we finish this matter, we will continue to search in those forests!"
"Oh, by the way, have these precious medicines been transported to the medicinal garden in Danxia Mountain for proper cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Changfeng immediately smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Commander. We have already transported it after collecting it."
"I think they have been nourished by some spiritual spring. When I last saw them, they had already taken root and sprouted again. I think it won't be long before they flourish again. By then, their medicinal efficacy and spirituality may also be improved!"
Jiang Li nodded after hearing this, "Put the precious medicine aside for now, and refine them into pills after you have all the auxiliary medicines."
"Now let's talk about how many monsters we have captured. Essence Pills are the foundation of the Spiritual Bureau. If the number of monsters is not enough, money alone will not be enough to retain so many practitioners!"
When Xie Changfeng heard Jiang Li talking about monsters, he immediately became excited. "Thanks to the commander, Guangxi has many mountains and rivers, and many places are rarely visited by people, so there are a lot of monsters!"
"With the help of the army, we have captured a great demon with a cultivation age of 100 years, and 48 demons with a cultivation age of more than 50 years but less than 100 years."
"Eighty-two monsters over ten years old and under fifty years old."
"There are another 312 hundred monsters under ten years old. Unfortunately, 243 of them are little monsters that have just transformed into hard monsters. Their qi and blood cannot be used as medicine at all!"
When Jiang Li heard this, he realized that according to the calculation, there were only about two hundred heads whose blood could be used to refine the Essence Pill, even if the more than one hundred heads he had collected before were added.
He was afraid that it would be difficult to have enough spiritual blood to refine the Essence Pill, but he was not too depressed. Anyway, the middle-grade Essence Pill was enough for his current practice.
Although the Supernatural Bureau had visited all the famous mountains and rivers before, the time was too short and they did not explore the entire Guangxi thoroughly. They will just search it carefully again when they have time in the future.
What's more, there is a big province like Hunan. By then, as long as he can gather seven or eight hundred spirit beasts, combined with his generous reward system and his secret technique of drawing big promises, it should be enough to stabilize people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li comforted the two of them, "It's already great that we were able to capture so many monsters this time. When the time comes, we can search Guangxi and Hunan carefully. I think that will be enough!"
The two didn't say much after hearing this, but just kept nodding and continued to report their gains during this period.
Time passed little by little. Although he led a mechanized army this time, it still took several days to reach Nuqing County because the road was not very good.
Jiang Li led his men and went straight to find Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou and others who were under guard. He asked them to leave, stated his identity, set up a banquet, and explained to them the purpose of his visit.
When they learned that the person who came was Jiang Li, who has become famous all over the world in recent years, they felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
In their impression, a warlord of Jiang Li's level should be the kind of person who is high and mighty and overbearing. How could he apologize to them so easily, not to mention having anything to do with them, the tomb robbers?
Naturally, someone would ask questions when there were doubts in people's minds, and the one who asked was Red Girl, the inheritor of the Moon Gate ancient magic show.
"With Marshal Jiang's status, he shouldn't be short of money, right? Why did he even think of robbing a tomb?"
"If this gets out, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, right?"
When Jiang Li heard her asking, he didn't feel unhappy. Instead, he was secretly happy that she gave him a chance to perform.
But he didn't show it on his face. After adjusting his mood, he planned to tell the truth. Otherwise, if his lie aroused the suspicion of Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou, it would be counterproductive.
"Miss Hong is right. After I took over Hunan and Guangxi, I put those local gentry and landlords who committed crimes on trial and confiscated a large amount of property. Naturally, I am not short of money."
The red girl was still wondering why Jiang Li knew her, so she listened to him continue his story.
"But we encountered a drought this year. Although it was not particularly serious, many people were still displaced. If that were all, I would have no problem dealing with it with the money and grain I have accumulated from doing business in Guangdong for several years."
"But you don't know how urgent the situation is. There are foreigners pressing on at sea, Japanese pirates are ready to make a move in the north, and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty are trying to restore the country. What's more, there are warlords everywhere in the country!"
"The world is now like a broken house with thousands of holes. All it takes is a strong wind to turn this broken house into ruins, and China will be in danger of being cut off!"
"So I can only make money, continue to develop industry, military and people's livelihood, strengthen the country and make more preparations for the next war."
"So this time I came here, not only to go treasure hunting in Pingshan with you, but also to ask you all to help me and do my part for the people of the world!"
As he said this, he stood up, clasped his fists, bowed to everyone present.
The people at the scene were still thinking about the crisis that Jiang Li described, but in an instant they were stunned by his sudden salute.
These people sound nice, calling themselves the Mountain Moving Taoists or the Ridge-Removing Warriors, but in the final analysis they are just a group of tomb robbers. No one has ever taken them seriously.
