At noon the next day, Liu Yu greeted Sun Kang and flew to Dongxian Lake outside the city during the lunch break to check out the 20 acres of fertile land in Dongxian Lake that he had received as a reward.
After Liu Yu asked Sun Kang and others about the fertile land of Dongxian Lake, he probably knew what it was about.
There are millions of acres of fertile land cultivated outside Beiluan City. Among them, the large tracts of fertile land around Dongxian Lake outside Beicheng are very special. These fertile fields are not used to grow secular grains, but to grow various spiritual plants. These fertile fields All belong to Lingbing Palace.
Among them, there are 200 acres of third-grade spiritual fields, 350 acres of second-grade spiritual fields, more than 600 acres of first-grade spiritual fields, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Although it cannot reach the quality of spiritual fields, the soil contains rich spiritual power. It is similar to a first-grade spiritual field. If you plant some special spiritual plants, you can get a good harvest as long as you take careful care of it.
Lingbing Palace did not arrange for the disciples to plant these tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Firstly, it was because of a lack of manpower, and secondly, because the harvest in one year was not large. The Lingbing Palace family had a big business and did not have the energy to focus on these relatively barren fertile fields. .
These tens of thousands of acres of fertile land are leased to casual cultivators living in the city, allowing thousands of casual cultivators to settle in Beiluan City with peace of mind. Beiluan City gathers so many cultivators. In addition to the abundant spiritual energy in the city, these tens of thousands Mu of fertile farmland is also one of the reasons.
This move of Lingbing Palace was extremely clever. Although it lost some profits, it was able to leave these casual cultivators to settle down and live in the city, attracting more cultivators to come to Beiluan City, which greatly promoted the prosperity of Beiluan City.
Lingbing Palace can get various benefits from it, such as thousands of shops in various cities in the city, annual rent and taxes, which is a huge amount of spiritual stones.
Lingbing Palace implements various measures to attract more casual cultivators to live here and maintain the prosperity of Beiluan City. Because it is close to the Black and White Mountains and has a strategic location, the city is rich in aura, and it is not just a big city like Beiluan City.
Qingfeng City within the Great Wilderness Sword Sect is also an important frontier city. It is very prosperous. The city has a population of tens of millions. There are also a large number of casual cultivators gathered in the city all year round. The number of people is only about 20% less than that of Beiluan City.
In fact, the aura concentration of Qingfeng City is stronger than that of Beiluan City, but the location of Qingfeng City is a bit off, in the lower section of the Black and White Mountains, while Beiluan City is right in the middle of the Black and White Mountains, making it extremely convenient to enter and exit.
Beiluan City and Qingfeng City have always been the first choice places for many casual cultivators to enter and exit the Black and White Mountains. The two cities compete with each other. Through various measures, they attract more casual cultivators to come and live. This also makes Lingbing Palace more competitive with Beiluan City. The management is very attentive.
Liu Yu flew over the rows of pavilions, courtyards, and private houses, flying towards the Black and White Mountains. From the air, in the distance, there were endless, steep and varied mountains, twisting and turning like a giant dragon, and it was impossible to see to the end.
Soon, a semicircular lake came into Liu Yu's sight. It was Dongxian Lake. The surface of the lake was crystal clear and deep blue, like a sapphire embedded in the earth.
As Liu Yu approached, the lake surface became clearer and clearer. The lake water was crystal clear. The autumn wind blew through, and the lake surface rippled slightly. Under the sunlight, the silver light shone and was extremely magnificent.
Rows of fertile fields have been cultivated around Dongxian Lake. At this time, the large tracts of fertile fields are reflecting the golden light, and the golden rice waves are rolling with the autumn wind, and the heavy ears of grain are blown to one side by the wind.
The gentle breeze blowing in front of us brought bursts of rice fragrance, sword lights flashed across the air, and there were busy figures on the field stalks and in the fertile fields from time to time.
There are several pavilions on the shore of Dongxian Lake, among which there is a spacious house that is a hall. A large number of people gathered in the square in front of the hall, which seemed very lively.
Liu Yu saw this scene from the air and drove the flying sword to fall into the crowded square. This hall was the destination of his trip, Dongxian Tianshe.
Dongxian Farmhouse was established by Lingbing Palace to manage tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around Dongxian Lake. It handled the leasing and trading of fertile land and other procedures. It was also a place for many "field husbands" to rest after their busy work.
Liu Yu walked into the hall. There were many people in the hall and it was very noisy. A huge jade curtain was hung on the wall of the hall. It displayed some leasing and transaction information of fertile land, including the number of fertile land, area size, price, etc. wait
"Hello, would you like to register here?" Liu Yu queued in front of a window for a while, took out the land deed with twenty acres of fertile land in Dongxian Lake, handed it to the deacon behind the window and asked.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist! I admire you for such a great achievement!" The Lingbing Palace disciple behind the window casually took the land deed. When he saw the information marked on it, he immediately raised his head and took a closer look at Liu Yu, and said excitedly.
This Lingbing Palace disciple also participated in the Spirit Controlling Competition last night, but his results were average. He only made it into the top one thousand and waited for 500 low-level spirit stones. I was very excited when I realized that the person who came was the third runner-up in last night's spirit competition.
"Thank you! It's just a fluke!" Liu Yu replied.
"Fellow Taoist, you are too humble. You are registering here. Please wait." The Lingbing Palace disciple said very politely. I saw him walking to the back room with the land deed, presumably to complete some procedures and make the final registration.
It turns out that the land deed Liu Yu got was unsigned, and he had to go to Dongxian Tianshe to go through the final procedures before the twenty acres of fertile land was actually leased to Liu Yu by Lingbing Palace, without rent, for a period of five years.
"Okay, keep it." The Lingbing Palace disciple handed the registered land deed to Liu Yu and said.
"I want to take a look at the twenty acres of fertile land marked above, but I don't know how to find it?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully.
"It's okay! Just go to the information desk and show the land deed to the people inside, and someone will take you there." The Lingbing Palace disciple said.
"Thank you!" Liu Yu thanked him.
Liu Yu walked out of the hall and came to a bungalow nearby. After some questioning, an old man led Liu Yu towards Tian Hai outside.
After a simple inquiry, Liu Yu summoned the flashing red sword and took the old man up into the air. Under the guidance of the old man, he quickly found the twenty acres of fertile land marked on the land deed.
These twenty acres of fertile farmland are connected together, not far nor close to Dongxian Lake, in the middle of the boundless sea of fields. At this time, there are only rows of rice stalks left in the acres, obviously they have just been harvested.
"Uncle Li, what kind of spiritual rice is grown in these fields?" Liu Yu asked curiously, looking at the golden and heavy spiritual rice around him.
During the chat, Liu Yu knew that this old man, whose surname was Li, was a casual cultivator with a low level of cultivation. He was hired by Lingbing Palace to take care of the spiritual fields. He had rich farming experience and knew the fertile fields of Dongxian Lake well.
"These are "Eastern Immortal Spirit Rice", which are easier to feed..." The old man began to chatter.
It turns out that most of these ten thousand acres of fertile land are planted with a kind of spiritual plant called "Eastern Spiritual Rice". This kind of spiritual rice is easy to maintain throughout the year. The fertility requirements for the spiritual field are not so stringent. After careful care, In one year, more than 500 kilograms of first-grade low-grade spiritual rice "Dongxian rice" can be harvested per acre.
Lingbing Palace will purchase a large amount of "Dongxian Rice" from "Tian Fu" at a price of fifty yuan per catty of low-grade spiritual stones. As long as the "field husbands" are diligent and take good care of the fertile fields in their hands, they can earn more or less thousands of low-level spiritual stones in a year.
Because each acre of fertile land in Lingbing Palace is leased to "Tian Fu", the annual rent is 25,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
As long as the "field husbands" take good care of the "Eastern Spiritual Rice" in the fields and use Qi gathering spells such as "Wood Qi Nourishing Technique" twice a day, the harvest per acre in a year will be more than 500 kilograms. .
Under careful care of some experienced "old farm hands", the harvest per acre can reach 600 kilograms.
What is "Tianfu"? It refers to the casual cultivators who rent fertile land in Dongxian Lake. Most of these casual cultivators have settled in Beiluan City and have been engaged in planting "Dongxian Lingda" for many years. After working hard for a year, they earn Thousands of low-level spiritual stones are used to maintain one's own practice or to help relatives practice.
This can be regarded as a benefit that Lingbing Palace gives to casual cultivators in the city. Although every casual cultivator can apply to rent fertile land, Lingbing Palace strictly controls the conditions for leasing. Each "field husband" can only rent one acre of fertile land, and priority will be given to casual cultivators who have settled in Beiluan City for many years.
