The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 25
"Isn't there space?"

Thinking of this, Runtu directly used his space ability.

His current control range has reached five meters away.

That is to say, things with a radius of five meters, as long as they enter this range, they will immediately put the buzzing mosquitoes into the space and crush them to death.

All of a sudden, the whole world was clean, and the sound of mosquitoes buzzing was no longer heard.

He's done it here.

Will it be the same situation in the room of the father and the younger sister?

It hasn't been explored much before.

Maybe I'm used to it.

Or maybe now is the time when there are the most mosquitoes in summer.

The living conditions are poor.

But Runtu is not just for pleasure.

Even without the noise, I slept soundly.

Soon came the second day.

Money is the guts of a person.

After his father became rich, he seemed much more energetic.

After eating, Runtu went out for a walk.

The home is relatively small and dilapidated.Not as good as the environment of the inn.

He was thinking about when to buy a house in the county.

When the time comes, the family will all move there and live a life in the city.

Don't want to stay at home for too long.

If the room is small, it will have a more depressing feeling.

Go outside and take another walk.

The scenery in summer is pretty good.

Here is the coast.

There are many marine resources.

On the sandy land of his home, Runtu saw a small pine tree that grew relatively well.

I thought to myself that since ginseng can be planted in the space, it is also possible to plant trees?
The key ginseng grew into a human form under his command.

If this small pine tree can also grow according to its own ideas, the value will be high.

Now there are many people who like that kind of potted plants.

Basically, those who have some culture and art at home will prefer to make potted plants.

Especially those dignitaries.

Such things are best used as bribes.

If you can't pass the Jinshi exam, you can't pass the Juren exam.

Then you can donate money to an official, and you can be an official anyway.

Now there are more and more cases of buying and selling official positions.

Even a public unwritten rule.

There are too many people who sell their official titles.

The financial difficulties of the Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that last year, Deng Shizhang and other naval generals were defeated by the Japanese pirates, and there were no strong ships and guns.

After losing, they are going to sign a contract this year, and they will pay [-] million taels of silver in compensation.

The imperial court did not get 8000 million yuan a year, but it was around [-] million taels, and it would take three years to pay it off.

But the imperial court also had money.

It is impossible to give this two hundred million taels.

8000 million taels a year, disaster relief, road repair, salaries to officials, pension funds to those Eight Banners in the capital, and then build a palace or something, build a Belle Mansion or something, and spend money like water.

Sometimes 8000 million taels may not be enough.

There is no dignity when you lose.

If there is no money and you have to pay, naturally you have to find a way.

Selling officials is also a way.

There are even price tags for sale.

Thousands of taels at the county magistrate level.

But just an official.

It's just that with the qualifications to be an official, it is more difficult to really take office.

When there is a vacancy and there are no people in front of you, you can take up the post, but it is estimated that you will not be able to wait.

Those who take the merit test will be relatively better.

Then there must be someone in the court.

Some of them passed the Jinshi examination, but they didn't get to be an official.

Even so, there are still many people who buy officials.

All those businessmen.

Donate an officer.

Donation sounds a little better, but it is actually buying.

After buying an official, the identity is somewhat different.

At least on the surface, it is the same as the local official status.

You can see that the official does not kneel or something.For this alone, many wealthy people feel that it is worth a few thousand taels of silver.

There are also those who donate officials to become real posts.

But that would cost more money.Need to get through the relationship, virtual job is much simpler, not so troublesome.

Runtu looked at the small pine tree in the space.

There is an idea in my heart to control its growth.

Just grow according to the welcoming pine on Huangshan.

Sure enough, the small pine tree was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This skill is great.

At that time, many officials liked that kind of potted plants.

Basically like all of them.

Because I think it's something arty.

Even if it's not pine trees, get something else, bamboo, plum blossom, orchid, these things.

Then control the length to be a little weirder.

Go and do what you like.

Make more connections.

Basically, those who are officials will have favorite plants and the like.

Often referred to as plants.

Like orchids, bamboo, plum blossoms, pine willows and so on.All are metaphorical.

Controlling it to grow into the look that those people like, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for a lot of money, and it is estimated to be worth more than ginseng.

Before I knew it, two or three 10 minutes had passed.

The pine trees in the space change faster and faster.

Bend slowly.

After a while, it was exactly the same as the welcoming pine on Huangshan in Runtu's impression.

Just the size changes.

Then the species are different.

Runtu was somewhat familiar with plants.After all, he is also a rural person in later generations.

The tree in the space is called Chinese pine, which is resistant to water and humidity. It is a positive tree species and can grow on various soils except saline-alkali soil.Growth requirements are not high.

The main root is well developed in the seedling stage, and the base of the trunk born in the waterside or swamp is swollen to form a columnar groove.

The trunk is twisted, the bark is longitudinally split into irregular long strips, the branches are sparse, the large branches are extended, the leaves are multi-shaped, the scale leaves are thicker or the back and abdomen are raised, and there are white stomata.

It is relatively beautiful, but it is very common and not a particularly good variety.

But for such a common species, those who can grow into this appearance are gone.

Being able to grow into this appearance, even if it is a common variety, is of great value.

Runtu thought for a while, if he wants to look at more precious varieties, or find some rare plant seeds and put them in the space, and then grow them according to his desire, then he will definitely be able to sell them for more money.

The strip-shaped leaves of this kind of cork pine are flat on both sides, pointed at the apex, narrowing at the base, light green, with obovate cones, woody, flat seed scales, and triangular sharp teeth near the edge of the back of the scales; bract scales and seed scales Connate, seeds oval, slightly flattened, brown.Very average.

It's okay for ordinary people.

It would be almost meaningless if it was sold to the real rich and powerful.

But thinking that it can grow into this appearance, it must be no problem to sell it for dozens of taels of silver.

Pay attention to cold protection. Water pine seedlings are raised in winter and spring, and the temperature is low.Low soil moisture can cause seedlings to wilt and die.But you don't have to do anything in your own space.Because my own ginseng has never been taken care of, it is just inserted into the soil and there is nothing to worry about.
