Chapter 237: Settle in
The Yuelian Islands are actually a combination of islands, which look like a crescent moon standing above the vast sea from a high altitude.
There are thirteen islands in the archipelago.
thereinto
The main island occupies the largest area.
It covers an area of forty or fifty square kilometers.
It occupies almost more than half of the entire archipelago.
The main island is also the most resourceful area in the entire Yuelian Islands, and the owner's mansion built is also in the center of the main island.
Zhang Qingyuan rode on the back of the Yinluan and looked around along the entire Yuelian Islands.
I have a general understanding of this archipelago.
The first is dominated by a narrow mountain range that stretches for nearly ten miles, with lush trees growing and several rivers flowing from the mountains into the sea in their own directions.
The mountains are surrounded by relatively gentle flatlands with fertile land, and the islands are surrounded by rivers where the mortals of the islands have established food cultivation areas, while small agglomeration towns have been established around the rivers.
It's like a dot.
After finding some guides, Zhang Qingyuan learned that in these small gathering towns, there would be more or less one or two low-level monks guarding them.
This is because on the island, in these dense mountains and forests, in addition to fierce beasts, there may be some low-level demon beasts.
The presence of monks is the only way to settle down the inhabitants of the town.
These low-ranking monks guarded the safety of the inhabitants, managed the general affairs and disputes within the town, and were also responsible to the owners of the island, handing over the taxes on the elixirs and spiritual materials produced by the inhabitants or collected from the mountains and forests.
The output of Xiuzhen resources on the Yuelian Islands is not abundant.
There are only a few low-level spirit grasses, and the spirit plants are produced, and there are not many truly powerful demon beasts in the forest, which looks relatively barren and barren, and the aura in the air is far from the inner gate of the Yunshui Sect.
However, there is a shallow vein of spiritual iron ore on the island, which continuously produces spiritual iron ore.
It is the economic backbone of the entire Yuelian Islands.
And this is one of the main reasons why the sect has brought this archipelago under its control.
After a round trip.
Zhang Qingyuan already has a certain understanding of the entire Yuelian Islands.
And when he returns.
The surrounding leaders also spread the news of the change of the monks of the Yunshui Sect on the island, and they all went to the island lord's mansion with gifts, but Zhang Qingyuan didn't like the excitement, so he declined their kindness to hold a banquet, and just roughly explained that all the rules would remain unchanged as before.
Today's Zhang Qingyuan may be nothing in the entire Yunshui Sect.
But for these mayors and guardian monks, they are great people who deserve to kneel on the ground.
Zhang Qingyuan has already said that he doesn't like to be lively.
Naturally, they didn't dare to force it.
With Xiao Gui Cao following the rules, he sent everyone who came to the Island Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Qingyuan finally had time to sort out his general situation.
It turned out that the monks stationed on the Yuelian Islands didn't need to hand over anything except about ten tons of spiritual iron ore every year.
Whether it's the various spiritual taxes paid by the civilians on the island.
Or the management fee of the fang market built on the dock of the island, or the few spiritual land taxes that have been opened up in the Yuelian Islands.
As the owner of the island, Zhang Qingyuan can put it in his pocket.
as their own gains.
That's all there is to it.
Generally speaking, Zhang Qingyuan receives at least 1,000 spirit stones from the island's various incomes every year.
If you manage carefully, you can get more!
As the most important asset of the Yuelian Islands, the spiritual iron ore vein is also mined by the owner of the island himself, and he is almost self-financing.
If run properly.
Even if you are in addition to the part that is handed over to the sect, not only will you not lose, but you may also make a profit.
"No wonder that Zhu Anping saw that I was so unkind, even if I didn't go to sea to explore, just sitting on the islands every year is a lot of wealth!"
After sorting out the affairs of the island owner, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Let's be honest.
In addition to the risk of pirate raids, abnormal weather, monster attacks, etc., the owner of this island is the Emperor of the Earth.
Free.
The extra income is not low either.
In some ways, it is even more carefree than the inner disciples.
"In this way, the punishment of being relegated to the South China Sea is not as terrible as it seems. ”
"Perhaps, this is not a punishment, but another kind of tempering for the disciples of the sect?"
Faintly.
Zhang Qingyuan suddenly had a slightly strange feeling.
If you really count it.
The sect doesn't seem to have the darkness it imagined, otherwise, if it was really just a simple punishment, it would definitely be relegated to the border of the East China Sea to fight with the Hanhai Sect.
And won't come to this place.
"Whether it is a moderate or a radical, the concept of both is just for the development of the sect, so for me, who has already shown my head a little, the meaning of beating is to sharpen more than to punish. ”
"Otherwise, because of the crime of not respecting the orders of the sect, most of them will be relegated to the front line of the East China Sea to make meritorious contributions......"
Zhang Qingyuan realized something in his heart.
......
for the rest of the time.
Zhang Qingyuan settled down on the Yuelian Islands.
The Island Lord's Mansion was built next to the Spiritual Spring Mouth, the only miniature spiritual vein in the entire archipelago, although it was not as good as the Cave Spiritual Qi at the Inner Gate.
But compared to the outside world, the aura is already a lot richer.
can barely support Zhang Qingyuan's cultivation.
However, the aura is still insufficient.
I thought about it.
He planted the thousand-year-old blue water blue lotus that he had obtained in the underground water basin that day directly near the mouth of the spiritual spring, and some high-level spiritual plants had the function of being able to nourish the spiritual spring.
In order to make the blue water and blue lotus able to play a role quickly.
Zhang Qingyuan directly dripped a small jade bottle of decanate water essence on it.
And the results did not exceed his expectations.
As the majestic water element power escaped, after absorbing this incomparably pure decanate water essence, the blue water and blue lotus, which had already become a little languishing, immediately stretched out like a living thing.
The folded leaves stretch out and become verdant.
It didn't take a few days.
This blue water and green lotus completely took root near the mouth of this spiritual spring, absorbing the spiritual energy, and feeding back to the spiritual spring, and the spiritual energy became richer little by little.
Wisps of mist began to linger around the mouth of the spiritual spring.
"Good!"
The improvement of the spiritual energy at the mouth of the spiritual spring naturally made Zhang Qingyuan extremely happy.
Practicing in this is no longer inferior to practicing in the cave in the sect.
And with the gradual recovery of the blue water and green lotus.
Symbiosis with the spiritual spring mouth, the aura in this vicinity will only become more and more intense.
