"Junior Brother Chen, I still need your help with this matter."
Jin Shanping, the deputy director of the Spiritual Planting Department, sent Chen Mobai out of the door with a kind look on his face. The latter nodded and then went to Sun Gaochang's place.
"Senior Brother Sun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Chen Mobai sat across from him, and Sun Gaochang gave him a cup of tea. After hearing this, he also had a helpless smile on his face.
"Junior Brother Chen, the Spiritual Planting Department's annual sect-approved budget is one hundred thousand spirit stones, and the sect's contribution is one hundred thousand. After your hundred acres of fire rice matures, if all are purchased by the Spiritual Planting Department, the price will be ten times
Support requires a sect contribution of 200,000 yuan. Even if I approve it and get it to the Hall of Rewarding Goodness, Deputy Hall Master Luo will probably not agree, and will continue to report it to the head of the house.
, on the contrary, it makes it difficult for the leader."
It was actually Sun Gaochang who invited Chen Mobai here today, but he still had to speak first as the deputy minister of the Spiritual Planting Department.
Half a year ago, through Meng Hong's relationship, Chen Mobai obtained 500 acres of spiritual land to plant spiritual rice. Originally, everyone thought this was impossible.
Because both manpower and spiritual land are far from enough.
But who knew that Chen Mobai had inherited the puppetry technique from the Immortality Sect, and actually used the Qingyang spirit wood to find people from the Puppetry Department to make many agricultural puppets, solving the two most critical problems at once.
Subsequently, through the major immortal cultivating families in the founding of the country, a large number of mortal descendants of the cultivating families without spiritual roots were moved to the vicinity of Xiaonan Mountain, which solved the manpower problem.
A few days ago, nearly two hundred acres of spiritual rice under Chen Mobai's name had matured, so he invited people from the spiritual planting department to inspect and accept it in advance to prepare for harvesting at the end of the year.
Among them, Chen Mobai plans to keep the sixty acres of spiritual field crops in Xiaonanshan for himself.
As for the remaining Xiaoyang Ridge and the hundred acres of spiritual rice distributed in the other four spiritual mountains, he declared it to the Spiritual Planting Department and sold it to the sect.
When the people from the Spiritual Planting Department came over to inspect the harvest, they were full of praise for the harvest of more than 100 acres of spiritual rice. They all praised the Xiaonanshan lineage as the Shenmu Sect's best at planting spiritual rice.
However, after returning home, after calculating the sect's contribution to acquire these spiritual rice, the three heads of the Spiritual Planting Department began to look sad.
Huoling rice is a hybrid rice developed by Chen Mobai. It tastes dry and hard, but the aura and nutrients it contains are almost the same as Yuya rice. It can be harvested twice a year.
The yield of this kind of spiritual rice per mu can reach 150 kilograms. If Chen Mobai sells all 130 acres of spiritual rice to the Spiritual Planting Department, the latter will need to contribute 200,000 sects to be able to eat it.
Such a large expenditure far exceeds the annual budget of the Spiritual Planting Department.
Even if Sun Gaochang, as the inspector, agrees to approve it, the deputy minister and minister above him will definitely disagree. If they really do this, their spiritual plant department will have to drink from the northwest wind in the next two to three years.
So after internal discussion, Chen Mobai was invited to come over and mention this matter.
This means that the Spiritual Planting Department can purchase at most thirty acres of Jade Bud Spiritual Rice from Xiaoyangling. The remaining Fire Spiritual Rice has no precedent in the sect, so Chen Mobai can only keep it for himself.
If the Spiritual Plant Department purchases it, they will send people to harvest it and check the quantity and yield of the Spiritual Plant on the spot.
Chen Mobai originally thought that he could save himself time.
Unexpectedly, they planted so much that even the Spiritual Planting Department did not dare to harvest it.
"Does the leader know about this?"
After listening to Sun Gaochang's complaint, Chen Mobai asked. The latter shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not reported the matter to Chu Zuoshu yet.
"I still have to say something."
Chen Mobai thought for a while and said these words, which made Sun Gaochang stunned, but then the latter understood what Chen Mobai meant.
As a subordinate, you have to be able to cry sometimes.
Shenmu Temple.
After Chu Zuoshu heard Chen Mobai's appeal, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
This should obviously be a good thing, but the problem is that Chen Mobai planted too much spiritual rice. If it were purchased at the market price, the sect could easily eat them all.
However, in order to support the cultivation of spiritual rice, when the sect first opened the sect, Zhou Patriarch set a tenfold support policy.
Because the effort involved in growing spiritual rice is not proportional to the harvest, even with this support policy, the output of spiritual rice within the sect is always not enough, and it still needs to be purchased from outside cultivating families every year.
But who would have known that Chen Mobai, a genius in farming, would suddenly grow so much spiritual rice that even the sect could not afford it.
"Junior Brother Chen, since you mentioned me, I can take the lead in approving these spiritual rice this year, but if there are still so many next year, I'm afraid I need to report to the two ancestors."
Chu Zuoshu thought for a while and felt that he still couldn't let Chen Mobai, his direct descendant, feel cold, so he put forward an opinion.
This year the sect can make this huge contribution, but if it continues like this every year, he, the leader, will not be able to sit still. At that time, he will only be able to push it higher and let the two ancestors abolish this policy on their own.
.
"Master, I have a suggestion."
Chen Mobai felt that there was a plan that had the best of both worlds.
It not only allows the sect to purchase spiritual rice with ten times its contribution, but also prevents the sect from feeling any physical pain.
"Junior brother, please tell me."
"The sect will still purchase it as usual, because my fire rice is a new variety. This contribution will be used as a guarantee deposit on the sect's account. After a few years, it is confirmed that there is no problem with the rice, and then the contribution will be slowly unfrozen.
on my account."
"Junior brother, isn't that still the same?"
Chu Zuoshu did not understand the meaning of Chen Mobai's suggestion. Even if the sect's contribution is not used for a few years, it will still need to be spent eventually.
"Master, I can sign another agreement with the sect, and each year I can take up to one-tenth of the income contributed by the sect in the previous year."
In this case, although the Shenmu Sect nominally contributes ten times to support the cultivation of spiritual rice, what it actually needs to pay is the normal market price.
"Junior brother, wouldn't you be at a loss?"
"Master, if I form a pill, the contribution points pressed into the sect's account will become real."
Chen Mobai smiled and said something that made Chu Zuoshu stunned.
Indeed, if Chen Mobai formed a pill, the Shenmu Sect would definitely recognize the remaining nine-tenths of his contribution that would have been absolutely impossible to obtain.
"Junior brother, then you can just practice hard and strive for elixir formation. Why do you have to go through so many circles?"
As for Chen Mobai's obsession with farming in recent years, the leader Chu Zuoshu had also heard about it. He and Meng Hong had the same view. Why not practice when you have this time?
After forming the elixir, you can take whatever you like in the sect at any time.
"Master, I alone am not as powerful as the Shenmu Sect as a whole. This spiritual rice is mainly to strengthen the bodies of our sect's qi training disciples."
Chen Mobai talked about his ideal again, and he also thought clearly that if Shenmu Sect really purchases his spiritual rice at ten times his contribution every year, the two ancestors will end up abolishing this policy in two years at most.
It would be better to make an agreement with Chu Zuoshu. The sect will actually purchase his spiritual rice at the market price, and the remaining 90% will be temporarily stored in the sect's account until he forms the pill.
This account.
After thinking about this for a moment, Chu Zuoshu immediately nodded in agreement.
Then he summoned Luo Xueer from Shanshan Hall and Shi Fengping, the head of the Spiritual Planting Department.
With the leader stepping forward, the two of them naturally had no objections, and they all simply nodded in agreement.
In fact, the Spiritual Planting Department got a big advantage because they can now purchase Chen Mobai's spiritual rice at the normal market price.
Finally, after counting the harvest of 130 acres of spiritual fields, Chen Mobai had an additional sect contribution of 20,000 yuan in his account.
The Shanshan Hall, which is in charge of the sect's accounts, also recorded the sect's contribution of 180,000 owed to Chen Mobai.
"Master, the Miaoshan and Tingshan areas have almost been cultivated. Some simple spiritual plants can be sown in the spring of next year."
While the Shenmu Sect's Spiritual Planting Department was busy harvesting spiritual rice, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming to the terraces that were reclaimed this year.
Among the four spiritual mountains, the two with the best terrain conditions have been leveled step by step by Zhuo Ming and his mortals using puppets in the past six months.
More than 100 acres of spiritual land were added.
However, these terraced fields are not fertile enough and the soil is not loose enough, so they need to be cultivated first.
This is Zhuoming's own experience in farming over the years. This crop is a spiritual plant used by the sect to extract oil. It is easy to grow and can condense a mild spiritual oil after harvesting.
This kind of spiritual oil, combined with the Red Yang Spirit Wood, is an excellent configuration for low-level alchemists of the Shenmu Sect.
After the yellow cabbage is harvested and pressed for oil, the remaining vegetable stalks and the like are left in the terraces, which can nourish the earth and make the spiritual fields fertile.
"I will leave this matter to you as my teacher. Take your time with the rest and strive to fill these five hundred acres of spiritual land with the fragrance of rice flowers within five years."
Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming have been working hard in the past six months while sowing seeds and using puppets to reclaim wasteland.
But after his apprentice brought him out, he could relax.
Now the three types of agricultural puppets are enough. Anyway, the sect has arranged for the people from the Spiritual Planting Department to do the harvesting. The Xiaonanshan lineage only needs to be busy sowing and cultivating.
"Master, I feel that my cultivation is about to reach a breakthrough. Farming and reclaiming wasteland seems to be very consistent with the practice of Earth Mother Gong. However, I feel that it is too fast and the foundation is unstable. I am afraid that it will affect the condensation of gas and liquid in the future."
Zhuo Ming hesitated and reported a situation to Chen Mobai.
"Oh, stretch out your hand and let me take your pulse."
Chen Mobai put his hand on Zhuo Ming's wrist. After checking the apprentice's cultivation level, he found that she was really about to break through to the eighth level of Qi training.
However, since Zhuo Ming had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi training last year, he was a little scared about the speed of progress, so he suppressed himself and did not dare to advance.
"Hahaha, this is a natural improvement and breakthrough for you. Don't worry, there will be no problems."
Zhuo Ming thought that her spiritual talent was average, so she was a little worried about the progress of breaking through the first level in one year. She even thought that she might have gone crazy and something went wrong in her cultivation.
But Chen Mobai knew that this second disciple was the most outstanding in his lineage of innate spiritual roots.
Under his own sect, there is no shortage of spiritual energy, and he has the best environment for practicing Earth Mother Kung Fu. He also eats spiritual rice every meal. It would be a surprise if he did not progress at this speed.
After listening to Chen Mobai's words, Zhuo Ming finally felt relieved.
She was so blessed that she simply sat down, took out a spiritual stone from her storage bag, held it, and made a breakthrough on the spot in the courtyard.
This Tingshan is also a second-level high-grade spiritual vein, but most of it was dispersed by masters and disciples Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming and turned into a spiritual field. Now only the second-order low-grade spirit veins are left, but for Qi training monks, it is still
Excellent treasure land.
Chen Mobai also drew a second-level spirit gathering talisman to help, and soon the spiritual energy on the top of the mountain began to gather towards Zhuo Ming who was sitting upright.
About half an hour later, Zhuo Ming, who was surrounded by the dense air, as if he was puffing out clouds, successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the eighth level of Qi training.
"Thank you, Master, for protecting the Dharma."
After the breakthrough, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes and saluted Chen Mobai.
"Get up, this courtyard mountain is destined to you, let it be your place of practice in the future."
Chen Mobai waved his sleeves, and a soft breath lifted Zhuo Ming up, and then pointed to the spiritual mountain at his feet, which was regarded as a gift for Zhuo Ming's breakthrough.
"Thank you Master, I will definitely take charge of the spiritual field here."
Zhuo Ming looked grateful. At this time, Chen Mobai saw Luo Yixuan on the side also looked envious, so he simply took advantage of today to share the property with the three apprentices.
"Let me give it to Xuan'er from Miaoshan next door. It just so happens that you senior sisters have a close relationship, so it will be easier to move around in the future."
"Yishan is given to Wen Bai. If you get drunk and can't go back to Shenmu City from now on, you can still have a place to stay."
There are four masters and apprentices from the Xiaonan Mountain lineage, and each of them is assigned a spiritual mountain.
However, although Luo Yixuan expressed her gratitude, she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart.
Because her Miao Mountain is the farthest away from Xiaonan Mountain.
But there was nothing she could do. Once Master Jinguo spoke, she could only thank him.
"Seeing Ming'er's breakthrough, I have gained some insights as a teacher. I need to retreat for a period of time. I will not participate in this year's sect competition. You three can just do your best."
After Chen Mobai finished dealing with the affairs of Shenmu Sect, he thought that he had not returned to Xianmen for half a year, so he decided to go back and deal with the accumulated matters between the student union and his own factory.
"Congratulations, Master."
When Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan heard this, their eyes showed admiration. Their master's breakthrough and realization was as simple as eating and drinking.
And every time I go out, I really have a breakthrough.
Leaving the two apprentices on Tingshan Mountain, Chen Mobai returned to the top of Xiaonan Mountain.
After activating the cloud formation, he left the phaseless doll here, condensing the pure Yang purple energy as a daily routine.
And he returned to the Immortal Sect through the Turtle Treasure.
Unexpectedly, I got good news as soon as I came back.
Che Yucheng worked through the relationship with Wuqi Daoyuan for a long time, and finally got through all the forces related to Zidian Sword.
