Chapter 228: Dongxian Lake Fertile Fields
At noon the next day, Liu Yu greeted Sun Kang and took advantage of the lunch break to fly to Dongxian Lake outside the city to check the twenty acres of Dongxian Lake fertile land that he had been rewarded.
What is this fertile land in Dongxian Lake, after Liu Yu inquired with Sun Kang and others, he probably knew what it was about.
There are millions of acres of fertile land reclaimed around the outside of Beiluancheng, among which the large areas of fertile fields around Dongxian Lake outside Beicheng are very special, these fertile fields are not used to plant secular grains, but are used to plant various spiritual plants, and these fertile fields are all owned by the 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 fields, although they cannot reach the quality of spiritual fields, but the soil contains rich spiritual power, similar to first-grade spiritual fields, planting some special spiritual plants, as long as they are carefully cared for, they can also have a good harvest.
The Lingbing Palace did not arrange for the disciples to plant it in person, firstly because of the lack of manpower, and secondly, because the harvest was not big in a year, and the Lingbing Palace family had a great cause, so they 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 the casual cultivators living in the city, so that thousands of scattered cultivators can settle in Beiluancheng with peace of mind, and Beiluancheng gathers so many cultivators, in addition to the abundant spiritual energy in the city, this tens of thousands of acres of fertile land is also one of the reasons.
Lingbing Palace's move was extremely clever, although it lost some benefits, it was able to leave these scattered cultivators to settle and live in the city, attracting more cultivators to come to Beiluan City, which greatly promoted the prosperity of Beiluan City.
The Spirit Ice Palace can get various benefits from it, such as thousands of shops in various markets in the city, annual rent and taxes, which is a huge amount of spirit stones.
Lingbing Palace implements various measures to attract more casual cultivators to live and maintain the prosperity of Beiluan City, because it is close to the Black and White Mountains, the geographical location is superior, and the spiritual energy in the city is abundant, but it is not only a big city in Beiluan City.
Qingfeng City in the territory of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect is also a heavy city on the side, very prosperous, the population of this city is also tens of millions, and there are a large number of scattered cultivators in the city all year round, and the number of people is only about twenty percent less than that of Beiluan City.
In fact, the concentration of aura in Qingfeng City is even richer than that of Beiluan City, but the location of Qingfeng City is a little biased, in the lower section of the Black and White Mountain Range, and Beiluan City is right in the middle of the Black and White Mountain Range, and it is extremely convenient to enter and exit.
Beiluan City and Qingfeng City have always been the first choice for many scattered cultivators to enter and exit the Black and White Mountains, and the two cities compete with each other, through various measures, to attract more casual cultivators to come and live, which also makes Lingbing Palace very attentive to the management of Beiluan City.
Liu Yu flew over the rows of pavilions, courtyards, and houses, and flew towards the direction of the black and white mountains.
Soon, a semicircular lake imprinted into Liu Yu's eyes, it was Dongxian Lake, the surface of the lake was crystal clear, and the blue was deep, like a sapphire inlaid on the earth.
As Liu Yu approached, the lake surface became clearer and clearer, the lake water was crystal clear, the autumn wind blew, the lake surface rippled slightly, under the illumination of the sun, the silver light sparkled, magnificent.
Around Dongxian Lake, a piece of fertile land has been reclaimed, at this time, the large area of fertile land reflects the golden flash, with the autumn wind undulating the golden rice waves rolling, the heavy ears of grain are blown to the side by the wind.
The oncoming breeze brings bursts of rice fragrance, sword light in the air crosses, and there are busy figures on the field stalks and fertile fields from time to time.
There are several pavilions on the shore of Dongxian Lake, among which there is a wide house, which is a hall. The square in front of the hall was crowded with a large number of people, and it was very lively.
Liu Yu saw this scene in the air, and drove the flying sword to fall towards the chaotic square, this hall was the destination of his trip, the East Immortal Field.
Dongxian Tianshe is an institution established by Lingbing Palace to manage tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around Dongxian Lake, handle some procedures such as leasing and trading of fertile land, and is also a resting place for many "Tianfu" after being busy.
Liu Yu walked into the hall, there were a lot of people in the hall, very noisy, a huge jade curtain hung on the wall of the hall, which displayed some lease and transaction information of good land, including the number of good land, the size of the area, the price and so on
"Hello, do you want to register here?" Liu Yu lined up in front of a window for a while, took out the title deed marked with twenty acres of fertile land in Dongxian Lake, handed it to the deacon behind the window and asked.
"Congratulations to Daoyou! I admire you for winning such a good achievement!" The disciple of the Spirit Ice Palace behind the window took the title deed casually, and when he saw the information marked on it, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu carefully, and said excitedly.
This Lingbing Palace disciple also participated in the Spirit Imperial Contest last night, but the results were average, only entering the top 1,000, and waiting for five hundred low-level spirit stones. I realized that the person who came was the third runner-up of last night's Imperial Spirit Competition, and I was very excited.
"Thank you! It's just a fluke!" Liu Yu replied.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest, it is here to register, you wait. This Spirit Ice Palace disciple said extremely politely. I saw him take the title deed and walk to the back room, thinking that he was going to complete some formalities and make the final registration.
It turned out that the land deed that Liu Yu got was not signed, and he had to go to Dongxian Tianshe to complete the last procedures, and the twenty acres of fertile land could really be leased to Liu Yu by Lingbing Palace, with no rent and a term of five years.
"Alright, you put it away. The disciple of the Spirit Ice Palace handed the registered title deed to Liu Yu and said.
"I want to take a look at the twenty acres of fertile land marked on it, but I don't know how to find it?" asked Liu Yu suspiciously.
"It's okay! You go up to the information desk and show the people inside, and someone will take you there. The Spirit Ice Palace disciple spoke.
"Thank you!" Liu Yu thanked him.
Liu Yu walked out of the hall and came to a bungalow on the side, and after some inquiry, an old man took Liu Yu and walked towards Tian Hai outside.
After a brief inquiry, Liu Yu summoned the flashing red sword, took the old man into the air, and under the guidance of the old man, he quickly found the twenty acres of fertile land marked on the title deed.
These 20 acres of fertile land are connected together, the location is not far from Dongxian Lake, it is in the middle of the boundless field sea, and there are only rows of rice stalks left in the mu at this time, which is obviously just harvested.
"Uncle Li, what kind of spiritual rice is planted in these fields?" Liu Yu looked at the golden and heavy spiritual rice around him, and asked curiously.
When chatting in front of him, Liu Yu knew that this old man, surnamed Li, was a casual cultivator, his cultivation was not high, he was hired by the Lingbing Palace to take care of Lingtian, he had rich farming experience, and he knew the fertile land of Dongxian Lake well.
"These are all 'Eastern Immortal Spirit Rice', which are relatively easy to feed..."The old man began to chatter.
It turns out that this 10,000 acres of fertile land, most of them are planted with a kind of spiritual plant called "East Fairy Spiritual Rice", one season a year, this kind of spiritual rice is easy to serve, the fertility requirements of the spiritual field are not so harsh, after careful care, one year down, each mu can harvest more than 500 catties of a low-grade spiritual rice "Dongxian Rice".
The Spirit Ice Palace will buy a large number of "Dongxian Rice" in the hands of "Tian Fu" at the price of fifty low-grade spirit stones per catty. As long as the "field husbands" are diligent and take care of the fertile land in their hands, they can earn thousands of low-grade spirit stones more or less in a year.
Because the Lingbing Palace is leased to "Tianfu" for each mu of fertile land, the annual rent is 25,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The "Tianfu" only need to take good care of the "East Immortal Spirit Rice" in the field, and perform the qi gathering spells such as the "Wood Qi Nourishing Yuan Technique" twice a day, and the harvest per mu will be more than 500 catties in a year.
Some experienced "old fieldmen", under careful care, the harvest per mu can reach 600 catties.
What is "Tianfu" refers to the casual cultivators who lease the fertile land of Dongxian Lake, most of these casual cultivators have settled in Beiluancheng, and have been engaged in the cultivation of "Dongxian Spirit Rice" for many years, working hard for a year, earning thousands of low-level spirit stones, which are used to maintain their own cultivation or help their relatives practice.
This is also a kind of benefit given by the Lingbing Palace to the casual cultivation in the city, although every casual cultivator can apply for leasing fertile land, but the Lingbing Palace strictly controls the conditions of the lease. Each "fieldman" can only lease one acre of fertile land, and give priority to leasing to casual cultivators who have settled in Beiluancheng for many years.
