The team has almost no time to waste. Even if they want to discuss strategies, they must be discussed while rushing.
Moreover, marks must be left along the way, so that the large troops behind can follow their marks to avoid wandering around without knowing where they are going.
Even if many measures are taken to transplant the elixir and leave the medicine field, there will not be a large-scale loss of spiritual power for the time being, but this is still limited. It may be possible to carry it for three to five days, but if it exceeds a certain time limit, the elixir leaving the medicine field will definitely lose its spiritual power and even wither and die.
Three to five days is the period that the elixir can roughly endure. If you exceed this cycle, you will take risks. The longer the time, the greater the risk. Once it exceeds seven days, even if the transplant is successful, the elixir will lose its optimal growth cycle, affecting the growth of the elixir and failing to achieve the expected growth effect.
Therefore, Jiang Yue and his team, the first batch of exploration teams, have an extremely important responsibility and must find suitable soil as soon as possible.
This is no easy task. First, they had to make sure that the place they found would not be affected by the smoke disaster this time.
In addition, they must also consider other factors, whether the soil is ownerless. If there is a master, how to get these lands.
Whether to rent or seize, these all need to be considered comprehensively. It cannot be accomplished simply by running around the boundary.
At this moment, in a large carriage, Ba Ye and Qian Ye, together with their key confidants, were nervously discussing countermeasures.
"I think there is no need to consider the boundaries within five hundred miles. If it is not safe, you may not be able to avoid this disaster." Ba Ye first set the tone, "At least the boundaries must be at least eight hundred miles away. . And this land boundary is best based on mountains, like the Hengfeng Mountains, which serve as a barrier for our manor."
Qian Ye said: "I agree with the boundary beyond eight hundred miles. Eight hundred miles is the safety line. However, as you said, there are good boundaries with mountains as barriers. In our inner earth world, most of these places are There are people occupying them all. Especially fertile land like that, I don’t believe there will be unoccupied land.”
Ba Ye chuckled and said: "If it is a powerful territory, then naturally we still need to discuss renting it. Of course, if it is a village, occupied by a small tribe, we can completely drive them away. Temporary requisition. At worst, give them some The money will allow them to make a living elsewhere during the elixir cycle. At least, hundreds or even thousands of acres of good land must be allocated for us to use."
Mr. Ba's words were clear and concise. Although Master Qian is a proud man, he has followed Master Duo all over the world, so he can be considered a well-informed person. Listening to Mr. Ba's tone, he knew that this guy was probably used to being arrogant in the manor and thought that everywhere was Mr. Hu's territory.
How can it be so easy?
If it is a village or a tribe, how much fertile land is there in total? How can people survive if they move hundreds or even thousands of acres? This is simply not realistic.
Seeing his reaction, Master Ba knew that the other party did not approve of it, so he said calmly: "What? Qianye, do you think there is anything wrong with what I said?"
Qian Ye was not polite: "If there is any problem, you will know it when you get to the border. According to what I have seen from traveling around, those who can produce hundreds or thousands of acres of fertile land at once will definitely not be small tribes or small villages. Most of them are powerful. Land. As for the barren land, it is almost impossible to cultivate hundreds or even thousands of acres of land. Even if there is, there must be problems in such a place. "
"What's the problem?" Ba Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Thousands of acres of fertile land, if the powerful don't occupy it and the villages and tribes don't live around it, then this area will either be occupied by ferocious creatures or there will be natural disasters. Otherwise, there is no reason for such fertile land to be deserted. The Earth Center Tribe has not had it for thousands of years. There have been wars between hundreds of tribes, but without a large number of wars and a large number of deaths in the population, it is impossible to have a large amount of fertile land left uncultivated. This is a no-brainer."
Master Ba's face looked ugly, but he also knew that Master Qian's words probably made sense.
"So, we can only rent it?" After all, Mr. Ba still wants to save some money for Mr. Hu. Going to other people's territory and renting other people's fertile land, even if it is a lease, will definitely not be cheap. It's almost like being sent to your door to be slaughtered.
Qian Ye said calmly: "If money can solve the problem, it is not a problem. I am afraid that some people are not easy to talk to. If you want to spend money to rent, they will not agree. People don't know your details, and they are afraid of attracting wolves into the house. What if you Why don’t you leave if you occupy it?”
Ba Ye said: "There must be a contract between the two parties, right?"
"These days, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak. Who can be bound by the contract? If the contract is really that useful, there won't be so many disputes and fights in the world."
Ba Ye was a little angry, but he still held it back.
Although Qian Ye and he were not on good terms, his words were not necessarily contrary to what he said, and there was obviously some truth to them.
Suddenly, Master Ba caught a glimpse of Jiang Yue behind Master Qian. His heart moved and he said in a strange tone: "Zu Yao, you are a decisive person. Tell me, how should we handle this matter?"
Jiang Yue didn't expect that this old fox would actually drag him into the water.
Jiang Yue couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he had to say: "I think that renting or occupying is not the most important thing at the moment. The most important thing is to find such a spiritual land. We haven't found a place yet. Let's discuss it here. It’s just talk on paper. Once the territory is determined, the plan can be determined based on the actual situation.”
This statement offends neither Mr. Ba nor Mr. Qian, so it makes sense on both sides.
Mr. Ba nodded slightly and smiled evilly: "I know you mushroom people are particularly good at running errands and exploring roads. Zuyao, Mr. Tiger rewards you with food. This should be the time for you to repay Mr. Tiger's service."
Jiang Yue glanced at Mr. Ba thoughtfully, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Master Ba, Mr. Hu hired us, and our main responsibility is to take care of the elixir. I think I have always been conscientious and diligent, without making any mistakes. Fifteen silver coins a month." , we can earn peace of mind. As for running errands and exploring roads, this is risky work, and it is not our job scope. Mr. Ba will never think that for fifteen silver coins a month, he wants us to do life-saving and risky work, right?"
Mr. Ba frowned and looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief. I never imagined that this guy would dare to contradict me?
Although his words were not unreasonable, how dare a despicable mushroom man talk to his employer like this? Could it be that this guy really thinks that he has become hardened by being with the Baoshu Clan?
"What? With your tone like this, I can't control you anymore?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "It's an honor for Master Ba to order me. However, taking risks to explore the road is the price of taking risks. Taking care of the elixir is the price of taking care of the elixir. We are in an employment relationship, and this must be done in advance. Let’s make it clear. If Mr. Ba wants us to explore the road, that’s no problem, we can all ask for a price.”
When Master Qian saw Jiang Yue talking to Master Ba like this, he was in a good mood. He said in a tone that he was just watching the excitement and said, "That's right, you can't expect someone to work for you for fifteen silver coins a month, right?"
Mr. Ba said displeasedly: "Master Qian, this is more than just sacrificing your life for us. This batch of elixirs is of great importance, and it is not a unilateral matter of our manor."
Master Qian curled his lips: "Don't threaten me with the elixir. You can't supply the elixir, and the money is still in the hands of our Baoshu tribe. Without the elixir, your deposit will have to be refunded. Don't even think about it." few."
Ba Ye smacked his lips, his evil fire had nowhere to vent.
Staring at Jiang Yue, as if he wanted to set Jiang Yue on fire with his eyes.
Jiang Yue ignored it, turned his head to one side, and looked out the window. I don't like Ba Ye at all.
"Master Qian, no matter what, these mushroom people are also members of Master Hu, right? I order him as a matter of course, you can't help but distinguish right from wrong, right?"
"Why can't I tell right from wrong? I borrowed the foot from Master Hu. I have to return it intact. If something goes wrong when you order him, how will I explain to Master Hu later?" Qian Ye said A rogue tone.
"Besides, you have so many elite teams, how many mushroom men are needed to make up the number for your exploration adventure? I really doubt it..."
Jiang Yue said: "It's not impossible to explore the road and take risks, but I still say that this is another price."
Ba Ye said displeasedly: "Tell me, what price do you want to offer?"
Qian Ye also looked at Jiang Yue curiously.
"If you find a suitable spiritual land, I will charge three thousand silver coins. If you cannot find a suitable spiritual land, I will only charge you three hundred as a running fee."
Qian Ye chuckled: "The price is not high, it is fair."
But Mr. Ba said: "How did I know you really went looking for it? What if you just found a place to hide, and later said you didn't find it, and defrauded me of three hundred errands for nothing? This three hundred errands is enough for the three of you to work for several days. Months."
"If Mr. Ba can't believe it, then there's nothing wrong with it. This messy situation is turbulent everywhere, and we don't want to take any chances."
Jiang Yue's tone made Ba Ye angry. But Qian Ye smiled and looked very appreciative.
"Papa, I think you, as a housekeeper, still lack some courage. Lord Tiger sent you out to do such a big thing, but you don't even have the courage to make up your mind on something as trivial as three hundred silver coins. I'm a little doubtful. How did you let Lord Tiger do this? Trust you?"
Three hundred silver coins is indeed a small amount of money for people at their level. Ba Ye paid 300 errand fees to chat with Jiang Yue, which indeed seemed a bit small.
Mr. Ba said coldly: "Okay, I'll just trust you for once. The three hundred errand fees won't cost you much, but if I know that you are lazy and fishing, even if Mr. Qian protects you, you will look good later on."
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money."
"What? Shouldn't I give it back when I come back?"
"What if you don't admit it later? I won't do anything less than three hundred silver coins." Jiang Yue simply showed his cards.
Ba Ye was so angry that his beard almost stood up.
"Okay, okay, I never thought that you have such a personality. The three hundred errand fees will be paid to you now. However, you have to think about it. If you flee with the money, you will not offend me, but Hu." Ye and Duo Ye.”
"Master Ba, you underestimate us. Not to mention three hundred silver coins, three thousand silver coins, I won't take any more than I should, let alone run away with the money." Jiang Yue said coldly.
Qian Ye was a little reluctant to give up: "Brother, are you really going to explore the road? There are people fleeing the Earth Smoke disaster along the way. If you three mushroom people are alone..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian. We have been on the road for so many years, and we still have some survivability. Let me tell you something big, we are going out just for the reward of three thousand silver coins. Mr. Ba, I suggest you prepare three thousand silver coins." , we will definitely find this place for you. But let me say something ugly up front, there is no guarantee that the place we find is suitable for grabbing or renting. We are only responsible for finding the place, and we do not guarantee the rest. "
It was not easy for Baye to find a suitable spiritual place in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.
Therefore, he had no objection to Jiang Yue's request.
"As long as you can find a place, it will be regarded as a meritorious service, and the reward of three thousand silver coins will be enough for you. Leave the rest to me and Master Qian."
Qian Ye also nodded happily: "Yes, as long as you find the territory, it is a great achievement. In addition to Ba Ye's three thousand silver coins, I also have rewards here. I will take you to a more exciting place next time."
With the promise from the two bosses, Jiang Yue happily accepted the 300 silver coins for running the errands, greeted Jiang Qiao and Sangou happily, and the three of them easily left the team and set off towards the forked road along the way.
When it comes to traveling, riding this carriage can only cover hundreds or thousands of miles in one day at most, but Jiang Yue and the others use the magic talisman to travel long distances or sprint short distances, which cannot be compared to the carriage.
Moreover, with the mobility of Jiang Yue and the other three, although it is difficult to find a suitable fertile ground, they will definitely be more efficient than others.
After breaking away from the large army, the three of them were like birds entering the forest and fish returning to the sea. They suddenly felt extremely free and happy, which made the three of them feel very good.
"Second brother, you finally broke away from the team, shall we go back?"
"Nonsense, it's hard to get on the line with the Baoshu clan. If you don't go back there, you'll be wasting your time."
"Go back? Seeing Mr. Ba's unlucky look, I couldn't help but want to beat him. What should I do?" Sangou really couldn't stand Mr. Ba's appearance.
"Don't worry, you don't need to beat him later, he will definitely be in trouble. This time, we have to give them a big gift."
"Second brother, how do you want to trick them again?" Sangou suddenly became interested.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's find such a suitable site first. It's best if this site is a powerful place. In this case, we can have the opportunity to take action and cause conflicts. I heard before that there were hundreds of thousands of years ago in the inner earth world. The entire Earth Center Clan is in a melee. In my opinion, the best way to weaken the Earth Center Clan is to provoke a civil war among the Earth Center Clan."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.
The plan Jiang Yue mentioned really attracted him. If at this juncture, the Earth Center Tribe could be plunged into a melee, this would definitely be an unexpected effect.
