Chapter 7: Thunder and wind, everything is an enemy
Zhao Xing sat down on the cushion in front of the statue, relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and had no distracting thoughts.

Soon, a breeze blew and there were bursts of thunder.

Then he felt like he was in a primeval forest, full of dangers.

The master of ceremonies in the temple was moved. He looked at the statue of Caoxi Zhenjun, and then at Zhao Xing's back: "You learn very quickly."

When all the strange visions disappeared, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and found three more pieces of magical knowledge in his mind.

They are: [The wind blows], [Thunder], and [Every tree and grass looks like an enemy].

The first two belong to the Farmer's Weather School, and are prerequisite skills for the "Solar Terms Order", while the latter can be summarized as the "Growth Chart of All Things" of the Ego School.

In the previous life, you could learn magic by just tapping the skill book, but now you need to comprehend the real knowledge and have a deep understanding and learning. From this perspective, every player is a genius.

After sitting for a while, I found that I no longer had that mysterious feeling. I knew that this was all I could learn now, so I stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for the Dharma."

[Wind Rises: Primary Spell]

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: Summons a strong wind. ]

【Thunder: Primary Spell】

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: When the moving clouds are in front, thunder can be heard in the clouds. ]

[Every Tree and Grass Seems Like an Enemy: Elementary Spell]

[Progress: (0/9999)]

[Effect: Use plants as soldiers to launch attacks]

……

[Wind] is an independent spell, but [Thunder] requires casting [Cloud Moving] first.

Before the job change, this skill only has sound but no attack power, and can only scare people at most.

The one that really has offensive power is [Attract Thunder], which can draw thunder from [Moving Clouds] to attack.

The entry-level version of [Every Tree and Grass Sees Enemies] also has a scary-sounding name.

Currently, Zhao Xing can only use special plant materials to make grass soldiers. If he wants to achieve the goal of "casting spells without external objects" and turn the surrounding grass and trees into soldiers with a wave of his hand, he needs to constantly upgrade his spells.

Since it has not been used yet, the proficiency is 0.

Most places in the city are off-limits to avoid disturbing the public.

Especially for petty officials like them, if they accidentally blow away the pants hung out by the elderly, or wet their seeds, they will have their wages deducted! What? You still want to become a regular employee? Go where you want to be cool!

If you want to practice, you can either go out of the city or go to the Sinongjian.

The Sinong Bureau has set up the Ksitigarbha Guiyuan formation, and petty officials like them can make it at will.

After passing the gate of Sinongjian, you can see a five or six meter high [Wind and Rain Tower Ship]. The ship's horn is a dragon head, and the flying dragon spits water, which can reach thousands of miles. The sails are embroidered with Yujiang, which can blow strong winds. It is one of the classic treasures of Sinong profession.

Of course, the small city of Gucheng does not have such high-level treasures. This is just a model. The real thing is only available at least in the county-level Sinongjian.

But the county-level Sino-Agricultural Supervisory Commissioner also has many good things. The treasure house in the northeast corner contains treasures such as [Liuyun Flying Boat], [Guiyuan Waterwheel], [Golden Straw Raincoat], and [Hundred Flowers Hat].

The reason why Zhao Xing knew everything was that the architectural layout of the official buildings of the Great Zhou Dynasty was basically standardized. Remembering one of them was basically equivalent to remembering all of them.

In addition, in his previous life, he had often followed the group to attack the county town. Whenever he entered the city, the first thing he would do was to rush to the Sinongjian. He even knew exactly where to open the mechanisms and take the secret passages.

"Stop, this is the treasure house, no entry!" Suddenly a voice stopped Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing looked and realized that he had unknowingly wandered near the treasure house. The gatekeeper's scrutiny showed that his expression must be suspicious.

Hi, my occupational disease has struck again.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Zhao Xing bowed, suppressed his inner impulse, turned around and left.

"Don't worry, you'll have everything once you get ashore."

After comforting himself, Zhao Xing walked through the herbal medicine area and came to the courtyard area where official officials lived.

There is only one Sinong Supervisor, who is a ninth-rank official.

There were several people from the ninth rank, who were in charge of warehousing, iron market, registered land, Pinghuai River, and equal transportation.

Border cities will also have a military minister of agriculture who is specifically responsible for following the army and creating a favorable environment for the army.

The ninth-rank official, Si Nong, is the chief official of the Agricultural Supervision Bureau. He usually does not instruct minor officials, except those with power and background.

The ninth-rank official, Si Nong, had the responsibility to provide guidance and teaching internally.

There are a full quota of nine Si Nong in Gucheng, a ninth-rank official, but there are only seven of them currently.

Each person has a certain number of minor officials under him, who are both subordinates and students.

"Brother, brother, wait for me!" As I was walking in the corridor, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

Turning back, I stopped and saw Chen Ziyu and Qian Dong carrying baskets on their backs.

"How come you two are here so early?"

"Isn't it the same for my brother?" Chen Ziyu said with a smile.

Qian Dong pretended to be profound and said, "Zi Yu, look, my guess was right. Brother has been secretly studying hard these days without our knowledge. He came to visit Teacher Xue so early. Hey? Brother looks much better than before..."

The corner of Zhao Xing's mouth twitched. Could you please stop mentioning his complexion?

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Zhao Xing's superior and teacher was named Xue Wenzhong, who had the most petty officials under his command.

It’s not that he is so powerful, it’s just that Xue Wenzhong is a good guy in the Sinong Bureau.

Other ministers of agriculture would select minor officials, cherishing their time and unwilling to hire more. In order to achieve political achievements, they would consider family background and qualifications when selecting, and would select all the good ones. If an official was promoted to a full-time official, it would be considered a political achievement.

Xue Wenzhong was a kind-hearted and simple man who only cared about his work without worrying about his future. His colleagues were unwilling to hire people of low status and with rough qualifications, so he took the initiative to take on the task. As a result, out of the more than 500 minor officials in the Sinong Supervisor, 204 of them served under Xue Wenzhong!
Even though the old Si Nong tried his best, there were too many disciples for him to teach. The energy allocated to each person would inevitably be less. On the other hand, Li Chengfeng and other rich kids made rapid progress under careful guidance.

When we arrived at Xue Wenzhong's courtyard, there were already forty or fifty people waiting in front of the hall.

The old Si Nong was preaching "A Hundred Explanations of the Weather" on the high platform. Everyone listened attentively. Occasionally, someone walked in and out, but he walked on tiptoe, bent over and lowered his head.

From the ninth rank of Si Nong, there is already something magical. Now it is the beginning of summer, but the peach blossoms are still in full bloom in the courtyard, and it is as warm as spring.

Only the occasional coughing sound proved that the old minister seemed a little old.

"Xue Sinong is already 98 years old and his health is not very good. During the reign of Emperor Jing, the benefits given to officials were not many. The highest he can get from the ninth rank is to increase his lifespan and fortune twice. I wonder how long he can live." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Old Si Nong, please don't die this year. If you die, I will be in need of a superior to recommend me. Where can I go to help me with the final push? It will definitely cause trouble again."

I don’t know if the prayers in my heart worked, but Xue Wenzhong stopped coughing and looked up again.

Oh, it turns out that the presentation is over and the session for free questions has begun.
