Chapter 623 Zhong Sheng
Excited laughter rang out from the county government office. They had suffered a lot of mistreatment from grain merchants when Ding'an County was short of grain before, so they couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that those grain merchants would lose everything in the future.
After his initial excitement, Zhang Jun quickly issued an order: "Huang Hao, this matter is entrusted to you. Within three days, you must gather enough farmers and then sow all the wheat seeds."
"Yes!"
Huang Hao solemnly promised, "Rest assured, sir, I will certainly not fail in my mission."
Zhang Jun nodded, then looked at the others and made a series of arrangements to safeguard the planting of corn and wheat.
"My lord, I shall take my leave now!"
Soon, county officials, including Zhang Jun, sprang into action, making various preparations before the corn wheat was sown.
Luo Meng also bid farewell to Zhang Jun and led the caravan waiting outside the county government office to Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County.
When Luo Meng came to Dingjun County this time, in addition to delivering wheat seeds to Zhang Jun, he also delivered a large amount of goods to his own family, Zheng Baolou.
The most important goods among them are, of course, blood-feathered chickens, red-blooded chickens, red-feathered ducks, and rare blood ducks.
Although Chen Dao had already allocated the markets of Dingjun County and Dingping County to the Zheng family, the Zheng family had never actually sold the Blood Feather Chicken and other magical chickens and ducks from Chenjia Village to Dingjun County and Dingping County.
The reason is simple: previously, the chickens and ducks that were useful to martial artists in Chenjia Village were subject to purchase restrictions. The Zheng family could only buy about two thousand chickens and ducks per month. These two thousand chickens and ducks had to supply both Zheng Qing's newly established Taicang Army and Zheng Baolou in the county city.
These two destinations alone were enough to consume all two thousand chickens and ducks, and even then, the supply couldn't meet the demand. So how could they possibly sell blood-feathered chickens and other breeds to Dingjun County and Dingping County?
Luo Meng, the person in charge of Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County, had previously applied to Zheng Qing on several occasions, hoping that Zheng Qing could put some blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens on sale at Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County, so as to enhance the popularity and reputation of Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County. However, without exception, Zheng Qing refused each time.
Romon was somewhat disappointed by this.
Fortunately, recently, Chenjia Village lifted the purchase restrictions, and the number of chickens and ducks that the Zheng family can purchase from Chenjia Village has increased significantly. Luo Meng finally got the blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens he had been longing for.
"Manager Luo."
On the way to Zheng Baolou, He Suo, the caravan's guard commander, said with a smile, "With so many chickens and ducks brought this time, Zheng Baolou's profits must be going to increase quite a bit, right?"
"Of course!"
Manager Luo did not deny it: "The names of Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken have long been known throughout Taicang County. There is no martial artist who has not heard of Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken. Many martial artists have asked me before why Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County does not sell Blood Feather Chicken. Now I finally don't have to answer this question anymore."
The fame of Blood Feather Chicken and Red Blood Chicken has spread to the prefectural city. How could Dingjun County, which is adjacent to Dingxing County where the prefectural city is located, not know about the fame of Blood Feather Chicken?
In fact, the existence of Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken was known to the martial artists of Dingjun County long ago. Many martial artists even went to Zheng Baolou to ask Manager Luo if he had Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken for sale.
However, due to the purchase restrictions in Chenjia Village, Manager Luo could only give them a negative answer.
Now, Manager Luo can finally sell Blood Feather Chicken and Red Blood Chicken at Zheng Bao Lou.
With this batch of chickens and ducks, Manager Luo believed that Zheng Baolou's profits, customer traffic, and reputation could all reach new heights.
"I, He, would like to offer my congratulations to Manager Luo."
"Ha ha!"
Luo Meng laughed. The manager of the Zheng family was usually paid according to his performance.
Take Luo Meng as an example. His remuneration mainly depends on the profits of Zheng Baolou, which is why Luo Meng is so concerned about the operation of Zheng Baolou, since it is related to his own interests.
With the sale of breeds like the Blood Feather Chicken, Zheng Baolou's profits will surely increase even further, and Luo Meng will receive even more in compensation.
Soon, Luo Meng and his group arrived at Zheng Bao Lou, which covered a huge area. He then directed the caravan's laborers to transport the goods into the building in an orderly manner, planning to start selling chickens and ducks the next day.

The next day, at the break of dawn.
Zhong Sheng, a martial artist from Dingjun County, also slowly awoke from his sleep.
After a quick wash and a breakfast prepared by his wife, Zhong Sheng went to his own yard and began practicing his family's martial art, "The Savage Bull Strength."
The Wild Bull Force was a low-grade martial art that Zhong Sheng's grandfather accidentally acquired when he was young. After obtaining the Wild Bull Force, Zhong Sheng's grandfather's fate changed. He went from being a farmer to a martial artist. He then passed the Wild Bull Force on to Zhong Sheng's father, and finally to Zhong Sheng.
However, because the Bull Force is a low-grade martial art, and the Zhong family is not wealthy and lacks resources for training, neither Zhong Sheng's grandfather, father, nor he himself has ever produced a mid-grade martial artist, nor even a seventh-grade martial artist.
It was precisely because three generations of his family had failed to break through to the seventh rank that becoming a seventh-rank martial artist became Zhong Sheng's greatest desire.
Now 35 years old, Zhong Sheng has been practicing martial arts for over 20 years and has reached the peak of the eighth rank. However, due to his average talent and lack of martial arts resources, he has been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for five years without making any progress. This makes Zhong Sheng very frustrated and makes him practice martial arts even more diligently every day.
However, hard work often cannot solve the problem.
Even though Zhong Sheng diligently practiced the "Bull's Strength" technique every day, his bottleneck remained unchanged, and the seventh rank seemed a distant dream...
"call!"
Half an hour later, after practicing the "Bull's Strength" ten times, Zhong Sheng, drenched in sweat, felt his own bottleneck that remained unchanged and his qi and blood showing no increase. He looked dejected.
Whether it was his grandfather, his father, or himself, their biggest dream was to break through to the seventh rank, or even become a mid-rank martial artist.
Unfortunately... their talents are not very good, and even if they spend their whole lives, it is difficult for them to break through to the seventh rank.
"Ugh."
Zhong Sheng sighed softly and turned to look at his wife not far away.
His wife had already arrived at the courtyard when he started practicing the Bull Strength technique, watching with concern as Zhong Sheng practiced martial arts for half an hour.
As Zhong Sheng's wife, she naturally knew about his inner turmoil and how much he longed to break through to the seventh rank. However...
She was just an ordinary woman, but she couldn't offer Zhong Sheng any help. All she could do was watch him practice martial arts in the courtyard every day to prevent anything from happening to him.
Although there is no such thing as going into a state of demonic possession in martial arts, there are still many cases of people getting injured or even killed due to disordered qi and blood during martial arts practice. She was very worried that Zhong Sheng would also experience this situation.
