Ying Jing's intestines were green with regret now.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have chosen to sign in automatically every day when he received the system notification.
However, it was too late to regret it now. The system could not change the check-in method. Every day, it would check-in on time and give followers and points.
Seeing that the number of people under him was increasing day by day, Ying Jing could not sit still anymore.
He could not continue like this. He had to take action.
It was the 15th day since Ying Jing had settled in Z County, and Eunuch Li had already set off for Xianyang.
Ying Jing had more than 12,000 followers, and more than half of them had been arranged to live outside the city.
There was no other way. There were too many people, almost as many as the total population of County Z. Moreover, the number was still increasing, and the city could not accommodate them at all.
Therefore, Ying Jing could only let these people build houses outside the city.
Fortunately, there were many young and strong men in the population who knew how to build straw huts.
However, the problem was that the housing problem could be barely solved, and the food problem had already begun to be put on the agenda.
Ying Jing only had tens of thousands of catties of food, and he would be able to eat all of them in a few days.
Therefore, he could not just sit around and eat. Ying Jing could only gather his men. First, he transferred almost all the men and directly packed them up and threw them to the chief historian of Z County, who was in charge of the army, so that these people could be incorporated into the border army.
After all, it was better to eat public food than to eat his own food. As for Z County's Chief Shi, he was happy to accept the people Ying Jing gave him.
County Z was located at the forefront of the Qin border, and it was also at the intersection of the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Yue tribes, so it was often harassed.
County Head Z, Shi Jian, accepted the group of people Yingjing had given him. They were all young and had good physical fitness.
After all, with soldiers, and being able to sell Ying Jing, the ruler of the fief, a favor, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
After settling a few thousand men, Ying Jing finally let out a sigh of relief. However, looking at the remaining few thousand women, he began to have a headache again.
Although the women of this era were not as persecuted as the Confucianists of the Song and Ming Dynasties, they were not allowed to show their faces casually.
However, women at this time, especially those in the countryside, were almost useless except for being laborers.
"What should we do?" Ying Jing only felt a headache.
There were a few thousand girls, and most of them were virgins. What was the point of dragging them away in batches?
Sell it? Ying Jing wouldn't do something so beastly.
Just as Ying Jing was thinking about it, a notification sounded in his mind.
Ding-dong. The host has signed in for fifteen consecutive days. The System Store function has been activated.
Reminder: The host can use the system points to exchange for any item the host wants from the mall.
The mall was online! The system finally had a new function!
Ying Jing's eyes lit up, and an interface appeared in his mind. On this interface, countless sets of small pictures appeared.
Each set of pictures was a product, and under the product was the corresponding name and exchange price.
Ying Jing took a closer look and soon realized that the system store was actually divided into several sections according to the product classification.
There were food, plants, livestock, construction, talents, weapons, and so on.
Ying Jing subconsciously opened the weapons category. In an instant, countless pictures of weapons appeared in front of him. They were dazzling, and the prices went from low to high. Ying Jing was dazzled by them.
However, Ying Jing only glanced at it briefly, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
It was too f * cking expensive. Unlimited bullets, Metal Storm, 100 trillion! High-precision anti-war cannon, one quadrillion! Interstellar Battleship 10 quadrillion…
Ying Jing's little heart instantly suffered a trillion blows. How was this a system store? It was simply a despair store. Anyone who saw such a product would feel despair!
The items were all good, but the prices were too expensive! He really couldn't afford it!
Ying Jing only had a mere 120 points. Who knew what he could buy with that amount!
Ying Jing smiled bitterly. He could only face reality. Fortunately, the system store had a price ranking system. Otherwise, he would really be in despair!
However, when he changed the current order and looked at the product column again, his eyes instantly froze.
High-yield organic potato seeds, 100 points per kilogram! High-yield organic sweet potato seeds, 100 points per kilogram!
Rapid growth fertilizer, 100 points per ton, rapid growth feed, 100 points per ton…
After more than two hours, Ying Jing did not even finish reading a page of products. From the looks of it, there seemed to be quite a lot of things to buy. It was just enough to buy one. Ying Jing was satisfied with this.
After all, the most serious problem Ying Jing was facing now was the food crisis brought about by the population given by the system!
If this matter wasn't resolved well, his future would definitely be difficult. Therefore, Ying Jing immediately cast his gaze on the potatoes.
Compared to sweet potatoes that could only be harvested twice a year, Ying Jing naturally felt that it was more cost-effective to choose potatoes that could be planted three times a year.
It was the spring plowing season, which was suitable for planting potatoes. He only needed to wait for two to three months to harvest a batch of potatoes.
Of course, it was mainly because Z County was located in the northwest. The climate here was dry, with long winters and short summers. Only potatoes were suitable to be planted in such dry and cold places.
In this way, the first batch of potatoes would be harvested at the beginning of summer, and then at the end of summer and autumn, two more batches of potatoes would be harvested.
Once the third season of potatoes was harvested, this year's food crisis would be over.
Ding-dong. The host has successfully exchanged for one kilogram of high-yield potato seeds!
Following the sound of the system notification, a bag of one-kilogram potatoes appeared in front of Ying Jing.
With the potato seeds, Ying Jing immediately began to think about how to plant them.
Currently, County Z was not his own fief. Sooner or later, planting it here would attract attention. After all, there were people coming to seek refuge every day. Moreover, there were also inexplicable high-yield seeds. It would be strange if it did not attract attention!
Once people saw that something was wrong, Ying Jing would definitely be unable to defend himself.
Therefore, after some consideration, Ying Jing decided to bring his men back to his fief to plant potatoes.
Although his fief was poor, it was still his territory. No one cared what he wanted to do.
The only thing that could be troublesome was that there might be Qiang people, Yue people, or even Xiongnu people attacking.
However, Ying Jing didn't take this question to heart for the time being.
After all, there were thousands of soldiers in Z County, and Longxi County was not far away. It was the encampment of Great Qin's War God Meng Tian!
Even though Great Qin had yet to start a war with the Xiongnu, after guarding the border for so many years, it had made a name for itself inside and outside the Great Wall.
Therefore, although Ying Jing's fief looked dangerous, it was actually quite safe.
With his decision and determination, Ying Jing brought thousands of female followers to his fief.
