"Can only "Eastern Immortal Spirit Rice" be grown in these fertile fields?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully.
"That's not the case. You can also grow other elixirs, but taking care of them will be quite cumbersome and involve certain risks..." the old man explained politely.
Ninety percent of these 10,000 acres of fertile land are planted with "Eastern Spiritual Rice", and 10% are planted with various elixirs such as "Green Angelica", "Red Essence", "White Licorice", etc. Most of these elixirs are not of high grade. , but the requirements for spiritual power during growth are not high.
First, although the soil of these ten thousand acres of fertile land contains spiritual power, it is not spiritual land after all. There are considerable risks in planting these elixirs. You must take care of them carefully every day. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
Most of the "Tian Fu" are casual cultivators, either alone or with their whole family settled in Beiluan City. There are only two or three cultivators in the family. These "Tian Fu" cannot afford this risk alone.
Although planting these elixirs will earn a few percent more profit than planting "Eastern Spiritual Rice" when mature, most "field husbands" will still choose a safe way and take less risks.
The second reason is that the maturity time of these elixirs is too long, ranging from four or five years to ten years at most. Ordinary "field husbands" cannot afford to farm at all, because the return of capital is too slow and they cannot afford to pay rent for so many years in advance.
"Uncle Li, there are millions of acres of fertile land outside Beiluan City. Why is this piece of fertile land so special?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask again.
"Mainly because of this Dongxian Lake. Dongxian Lake is close to the Black and White Mountains and is located at the foot of rolling mountains and rivers. The sources of the lake water are springs, trickles, snow water, etc. of the mountains and rivers. It contains a lot of spiritual power..." The old man continued to explain. road.
It turns out that the water of Dongxian Lake contains a large amount of spiritual energy, which is close to the spiritual energy content of first-grade spiritual water. This fertile land surrounds Dongxian Lake and is nourished by the lake water all year round, forming a large area of spiritual fields and fertile fields rich in spiritual power.
"The closer these fertile fields are to Dongxian Lake, the higher the quality. Close to Dongxian Lake is the thousand-acre spiritual field of Lingbing Palace, and the more than 2,000 acres of fertile land in a circle to the outside. The highest quality is jokingly called "Shanghai" "Waiting for lake fields", the more than 4,000 acres of fertile land in the outer circle are called "medium lake fields", and the more than 6,000 acres of fertile fields in the outermost circle are the worst "lower lake fields."" The old man said patiently introduced.
"Lingbing Palace charges different rents for different qualities of fertile farmland." The old man said leisurely.
"Uncle Li, what is the quality of these twenty acres of fertile land? What kind of lake land does it belong to?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
"The 20 acres of fertile land you won is close to Dongxian Lake, and the quality is considered to be "medium to upper". It is considered a good piece of land. Congratulations!" the old man said with a smile.
The old man also watched the spirit-taming competition last night. Knowing that Liu Yu won the third runner-up and won these twenty acres of fertile land, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the younger generation is terrible. This is really a large sum of spiritual stones!
"Thank you!" Liu Yu thanked with a smile.
"Old man, I would like to ask you, are you going to plant these twenty acres of fertile land yourself, or do you want to rent it out?" the old man said.
"I'll probably rent it out. Do you know how to publish rental information?" Liu Yu thought for a while and said.
Liu Yu worked at Huang Shengsheng Manor during the day, and only had time at night. In addition, he had to practice, so he was obviously not suitable to take care of these twenty acres of fertile land personally, so he could only rent it out.
"There is a jade screen in the hall of the farmhouse. You only need to spend some spiritual stones to hang the rental information on it, and someone will naturally contact you." The old man introduced.
"Oh! That's it." Liu Yu suddenly realized.
No wonder there was a group of people gathered in the farmhouse hall just now, staring closely at the huge jade screen hanging on the side wall. Information about fertile fields was scrolling on the jade screen from time to time. This was very convenient.
"Uncle Li, what do you think the rent for an acre should be?" Liu Yu asked. The old man had stayed at Dongxian Lake farmhouse for many years and must be very clear about this aspect.
"Your 20 acres of fertile land are large in area. They are continuous and not scattered. The quality of the fertile land is not bad. The key is that the lease period is long and the conditions are good in all aspects."
"Ordinary retail investors can't afford it, but those powerful families will definitely be very interested. The rent can be increased appropriately. The annual rent for one acre should be set at 13,000 low-grade spiritual stones. It can even be set at It should be higher." After thinking carefully, the old man said, stroking his long beard.
The old man knows a lot about it. When these families rent these twenty acres of fertile land, they will definitely not use it to grow "Eastern Immortal Spiritual Rice", but to plant high-value elixirs. For such a large piece of fertile land, the lease period As long as five years, it is still rare.
Because Lingbing Palace strongly opposed the intervention of various cultivating families, large and small, in the fertile land of Dongtian Lake, Lingbing Palace gave up the benefits of these ten thousand acres of fertile land in order to retain thousands of casual cultivators, not to provide gifts to these cultivating families. Welfare. However, private subletting still occurs from time to time.
Lingbing Palace is very strict about the management of Dongxian Lake's fertile land. In order to prevent large and small cultivator families from interfering with Dongtian Lake's fertile land, it has a complete set of leasing regulations.
1. "Tianfu" who applies to lease fertile land for the first time can only apply to lease one mu of fertile land, and the lease period is only one year.
Second, a "field husband" with a good planting record of three years can get a second acre of good land as early as possible, and the lease period will be increased to two years.
Third, for “field husbands” with good planting records of more than five years, the lease period will be increased to three years.
Fourth, for “field husbands” with good planting records of more than five years, the lease period will be increased to five years.
The longer the "field husbands" have been planting and the higher their reputation, they will have priority in renewing their contracts and have the opportunity to apply for better quality farmland. After all, there is only so much fertile land in Dongxian Lake, but there are hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators living in Beiluan City. There are countless new "field husbands" who come to apply every year, and the competition is very fierce.
If a "field husband" is found to be subletting privately, once the lease term of the existing fertile land is up, it will not be renewed, and he will be prohibited from applying to lease fertile land again for ten years.
Of course, there are also a small number of fertile lands that are special cases and can be sublet on the surface, just like the twenty acres of fertile land won by Liu Yu.
"Uncle Li, I understand!" Liu Yu thanked with a smile on her face. I couldn't help but feel happy. Once these twenty acres of fertile land changed hands, it could bring in an income of more than 100,000 low-level spiritual stones every year. This was a huge sum of money. The spiritual stones needed for future practice were finally found.
"Fellow Taoist, if you choose to rent these twenty acres of fertile land, I am old enough to know some disciples of the family. If you can help contact me, they will definitely pay a high price. I wonder if you will mind?" the old man said with a smile.
The old man has been staying in Dongxian Lake farmhouse for decades and has a wide range of connections. Liu Yu's twenty acres of fertile land are very popular. If he helps one of them facilitate the leasing, he can get a thank you fee from it, so the old man That's why he was so attentive and introduced Liu Yu in such detail.
"Uncle Li, if it's convenient for you, you can help me get in touch with you. I'd be very grateful." Liu Yu cupped his hands and replied.
"It's easy to say, I will spread the news tonight. I believe their bid will satisfy fellow Taoists." The old man said happily.
"Thank you in advance. I'll take you back to Yun! The sect still has some things that need to be rushed back to deal with." Liu Yu said politely.
"Fellow Taoist, you are busy first. I won't waste your time. I will go back and I don't need to see you off. If you are free the day after tomorrow, fellow Taoist will come again and look for me in that house. You should have news." The old man postponed. , and warned.
"I got it, Uncle Li, I'll leave it to you then. I'll take my leave first." Liu Yu jumped on the flying sword and said with cupped hands.
Liu Yu must hurry back to Lingzhuang. He has been away for a while. If the manager of Lingzhuang finds out, the impact will not be good.
