"Of course!" Yiyi said proudly.
The area of the space is related to her consciousness. After waking up again, her consciousness had reached fifty feet. This not only means that the range of the words of grass and trees she can hear in the outside world has been further expanded, but the area of the space inside the stone has also expanded to a radius of fifty feet.
Yiyi is in the middle of the space.
"Within ten feet of me," she showed off, "I can control the growth of these spiritual plants, whether it is stopping or accelerating. The acceleration can be up to 5 times the original growth rate! But it can only be a first-level spiritual plant. Zhi oh."
"The land outside my ten-foot radius can only be used as a first-level spiritual field. I cannot speed up the growth of these spiritual plants, but I can ensure that they grow normally and will not die young."
After getting along with Yang Zhen for a long time, Yiyi gradually came to have the concepts of first-order spiritual plants and first-order spiritual fields.
…
Ten days later, at night, in the stone space.
Yang Zhen put the towel on her shoulders, supported the hoe with one hand, and put her other hand on her hips. She looked at the fertile soil in space and smiled like a farmer's uncle.
He worked for three days and finally hoeed the ground and sprinkled the seeds.
The day after Yiyi regained consciousness, he went to Zhoucheng and sold all 30,000 Xuanyang trees. Then he went to Zhouchengfang City and selected a few spiritual plants that he had already taken a fancy to.
The first is the soul nourishing grass.
The area around the grass is ten feet, and the total area is about 3,500 square meters, which is a little more than 5 acres.
Among these 5 acres of special spiritual land, one-third of an acre needs to be set aside to dig a pond, plus some necessary idle land, and about three-quarters of an acre can be planted with spiritual plants.
Yang Zhen used all of her money to grow first-level soul-nourishing grass.
Mammy once bid for a box of seeds of this kind of grass at the county auction and gave it to Zhao Gui to try planting. The result was very unsatisfactory, not a single plant survived. However, the few seeds Yang Zhen asked for have begun to sprout under the care of Yiyi in the past two days.
The first-level soul-nurturing grass has a maturity period of four years, has strict environmental requirements, and has a very low survival rate. Unless a large amount of money is spent to transform a suitable environment, the cost of planting will also increase.
However, Yiyi can make this kind of spiritual plant mature within ten months, and the survival rate is 100%. From this comparison, the profit comes out.
You can plant 200 spiritual plants per acre of this kind of land. After ten months, you can earn a total of 2,800 spiritual stones at the purchase price of 4 spiritual stones per plant of soul-nurturing grass.
The price of the seeds is 15 spirit drops per seed, so the profit should be about 2,700 spirit stones.
The land from ten feet away to fifty feet away has a total area of more than 80,000 square meters, about 125 acres.
He set aside 120 acres of this large piece of land for planting, and the remaining acres were used as warehouses and activity space.
For this purpose, he chose two spiritual plants.
One is blood-clotting grass, which is the main material used to make first-level blood-coagulating pills and is in very high demand.
The biggest advantage of this spiritual plant is its short growth cycle, which takes only three months to fully mature. In this way, he can recover his investment quickly and make cyclical investments.
Coagulant grass causes relatively large losses to the spiritual field. In the outside world, after a piece of spiritual field was planted with coagulant grass, it had to be left aside for a whole year, and nothing could be planted. But the land in the stone space is not affected by this, which means that for the same area of land, the profit he creates in the space within a year is four times that of the outside world.
Yang Zhen dedicated 100 acres of land to plant this spiritual grass. Based on a yield of one hundred kilograms per mu and one spiritual stone for every ten kilograms, 10,000 kilograms, or 1,000 spiritual stones, can be harvested every three months. After deducting the cost of about 1 spirit stone per acre of seeds, the profit can reach 900 spirit stones every three months, and a total of 2,700 spirit stones after nine months.
Generally speaking, if you work hard for a first-level spiritual field for a year, the profit of ten spiritual stones is considered very good. As for Yang Zhen's hundred acres of spiritual land, in just nine months, the profit created per mu was 27 spiritual stones.
In the last 20 acres, he left a kind of spiritual grass called Qianxuncao. The growth period of this spiritual grass is ten months, and the outside survival rate is about 20 to 30%. Yang Zhen's total profit after harvesting will be about 900 spiritual stones.
He must completely set up the formation in about ten months and allow another three months for operation. By the end of February next year, start nurturing the growth of your own spiritual roots, so you will have more time.
Based on this calculation, the total profit of these three spiritual plants in ten months is around 6,300, which is still not enough. However, his Xuanyang Wood business will not stop. This business can bring him nearly 3,000 spiritual stones in profit every year.
What's more, he also has businesses in Yuezhen Pavilion and Dexing Hall, which will also bring in spiritual stones.
This kind of income combined is enough!
…
After silently calculating all this, Yang Zhen's heart surged. He was building his own bright future with his own hands, and he was full of strength!
"The next goal is to dig a pond!" He was full of enthusiasm.
"Okay!" Yiyi cheered. For her, as long as she works with Brother Shitou, she is very happy.
It took ten months to dig out 15,000 cubic meters of soil, an average of 50 cubic meters per day. It seemed like a huge amount of work, and even one person couldn't do it without machinery.
But Yang Zhen has Yiyi to help her, so this is not a problem.
For Yiyi, transporting and cleaning things in space is very simple, just like transporting Xuanyang wood. What really bothered her was the action of peeling the soil off the ground, which required a lot of spiritual consciousness.
So all Yang Zhen had to do was dig the soil. 50 cubes, with his current strength, is just a matter of swinging the hoe eighteen hundred times, leaving the rest to the little thing.
One person and one grass complement each other, and within an hour, the task for the day is completed.
…
Baiyun Mountain on the first day of February
According to legend, this day is the birthday of Patriarch Yunxiao, and it is also the day when counties and temples in various parts of the Xu Kingdom recruit school children once a year.
Early in the morning, Zhao Yue'er and Yang Zhen both put on brand new clothes and waited quietly in the living room after breakfast.
Zhao Beiqing had finished his vacation yesterday and went to the sect to meet his new boss, Master Shui Hong.
Grandma, Qin Wan, and several maids were accompanying the two children in the living room.
The little girl is already a perfect beauty. She is dressed in a light blue skirt with a golden ribbon on her head. She looks elegant and charming.
Qin Wan looked at her daughter with relief and affection, and the expression on her face changed.
Caisi glanced at Yang Zhen secretly from time to time, her eyes full of reluctance. If Yang Zhen enters the county guard, she will have few opportunities to serve in the future.
At around 3 o'clock in the morning, Caiyan walked in, followed by a young monk and a group of children.
Yang Zhen knew this young man as Zhao Qingfeng, the seventeenth elder of the family. Behind him were five children, three boys and two girls.
Among the girls, there is also an acquaintance of Yang Zhen, with a delicate face and fair skin, it is Zhao Ying.
"This little girl has indeed manifested her spiritual roots." Yang Zhen muttered in her heart.
These five children who came in, plus Zhao Yue'er and Yang Zhen, are all the children in the Zhao family who have manifested their spiritual roots this year. There are 300,000 people in the Zhao family, and about 6,000 children are born every year, of which about six have spiritual roots. This year is no different.
These five children came from the family in the teleportation formation early this morning under the leadership of Zhao Qingfeng.
It stands to reason that the Zhao family has plenty of houses in the county. These people could have come a few days earlier, at least they should have come yesterday.
As a result, it has been postponed until today's departure.
"This shows..." Yang Zhen secretly thought: "In the past two months, Patriarch Zhexi has been vigorously rectifying the family, which has greatly increased the prestige of the First Elder and Qin Wan. In fact, it has further aggravated the situation of the old ancestor. There is a conflict between the house and the county."
Otherwise, Zhao Qingfeng, the youngest and the elder with the best relationship with the county, would not have been sent.
He looked at the children and found that they were also paying attention to him. Except for a tall, strong man with curious eyes, which was considered normal, the other four people looked at him with either contempt, hatred, or fear, which were very unfriendly.
Yang Zhen secretly smiled bitterly, she had offended quite a few people in her old house!
After everyone arrived, the group, led by the nanny, came to the square outside, boarded the flying boat, and headed towards the county temple.
