"Can only "Eastern Immortal Spirit Rice" be grown in these fertile fields?" Liu Yu couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"That's not true. You can also grow other elixirs, but taking care of them will be quite cumbersome and involve considerable risks..." the old man explained patiently.
More than 90% of these 10,000 acres of fertile land are planted with "Eastern Spirit Rice". A few fertile fields are planted with various elixirs such as "Green Angelica", "Red Essence", "White Licorice", etc. These elixirs are usually of low grade and difficult to grow.
The demand for spiritual energy is not high.
First, although the soil of these ten thousand acres of fertile land contains spiritual power, it is not a spiritual field 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. p>
Most of the "Tian Fu" are casual cultivators, living alone or with their whole family settled in Beiluan City. There are only two or three cultivators in a family. These "Tian Fu" cannot afford such risks.
Although planting these elixirs will earn a few percent more profit than planting "Eastern Spiritual Rice" when mature, most "field farmers" 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 farmers" cannot afford to grow them because the return on investment is too slow and they cannot afford to pay the rent in advance for so many years. "Uncle Li, there are millions of acres of fertile land outside Beiluan City. Why is this piece of fertile land special?" Liu Yu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"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 source of the lake water is springs, trickles, snow water, etc. of the mountains and rivers. It contains a lot of spiritual power..." The old man continued to explain carefully. 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 farmland 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 waved his hand and pointed.
An introduction to fertile farmland in different regions.
"Lingbing Palace charges different rents for different qualities of farmland." The old man said leisurely
"Uncle Li, what is the quality of these ten acres of fertile land? What kind of lake land does it belong to?" Liu Yu asked immediately.
"The ten acres of fertile land you won are close to Dongxian Lake, and the quality is "medium to upper". It is considered some good 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 place and won these ten acres of fertile land, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the young people are terrible. This is really a huge amount of spiritual stones!
"Thank you!" Liu Yu thanked with a smile.
"I would like to ask you, are you going to plant these ten acres of fertile land yourself, or rent it out?" the old man suddenly said.
"I'll probably rent it out. Do you know how to publish leasing information?" Liu Yu asked after thinking for a moment.
Liu Yu works at Huang Shengsheng Village during the day and is only free at night. In addition, he has to practice, so he is obviously not suitable to take care of these ten acres of fertile land personally, so he can 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 curtain hanging on the side wall, on which information about fertile fields was scrolling from time to time.
"Uncle Li, how much do you think the rent per acre should be?" Liu Yu asked. This old man has stayed at Dongxian Lake farmhouse for many years and must be very clear about this aspect.
"Your ten acres of fertile land are large in area, not scattered, and 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 per acre is set at six thousand low-grade spiritual stones, or even 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 ten acres of fertile land, they will definitely not use it to grow "Eastern Immortal Spiritual Rice", but to plant high-value elixirs. Such a large piece of fertile land has a long lease term.
Five years later, 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, the phenomenon of private subletting still occurs from time to time.
Lingbing Palace has very strict management of the fertile land in Dongxian Lake. In order to prevent large and small cultivator families from interfering with the fertile land in Dongtian Lake, there is a complete set of leasing regulations.
1. A "field husband" 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, "field husbands" with good planting records for three years can apply for a second acre of good land, and the lease period will be increased to two years.
3. For “field husbands” with a good planting record of more than five years, the lease period will be increased to three years.
4. 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 credibility, they will have priority in renewing their visas and have the opportunity to apply for better quality farmland. After all, there are only so many farmlands in Dongxian Lake, but there are dozens of casual cultivators living in Beiluan City.
Ten thousand, there are countless new "Tianfu" applicants who apply every year, and the competition is very fierce.
If a "field husband" is found to be subletting privately, once the lease period of the existing farmland expires, it will not be renewed, and he will be prohibited from applying to lease farmland 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 ten acres of fertile land won by Liu Yu.
"Uncle Li, I got it!" Liu Yu thanked with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but feel happy. Once these ten acres of fertile land changed hands, it could bring in tens of thousands of low-level spiritual stones every year, which was a huge sum of money.
, the spiritual stones needed for future practice are finally found.
"Fellow Taoist, if you choose to rent these ten 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 at this time.
The old man has been staying in Dongxian Lake farmhouse for decades and has a wide range of connections. Liu Yu's ten acres of fertile land are very popular. If he helps one of them to facilitate the lease, he can get a reward fee from it, so the old man
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. 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 the farmhouse first. The sect still has some things that need to be rushed back to deal with." Liu Yu said politely.
"Fellow Taoist, please be busy first. I won't waste your time. The old man will go back and there is no need to see him off. If you are free the day after tomorrow, fellow Taoist, I will come again and look for the old man in that house. You should have news." The old man hurriedly said.
