Chapter 50 The plan of the 8 elders

Perhaps because he had been unoccupied for a long time, his house was filled with dust and cobwebs.

"The conditions in the humble house are difficult, Haihan." Henry Zhang said sheepishly.

Zhang Miaoke smiled slightly and said: "The clan always welcomes back the great hero of our ancestors. We, the eight clan elders, all admire him very much. I will ask my great-grandfather to build a new house for you later."

"Then...that's not necessary. What's the matter with Miss Miaoke's visit this time? Just tell me."

"It's like this. I heard that you have always wanted to get your ancestor's spiritual field back, but now there is no spiritual field to be divided in the family treasury, so my great-grandfather is willing to take out 200 acres of the first-class middle-grade spiritual field..."

"Give me 200 acres of spiritual land for free?!" Henry Zhang was shocked, thinking how could these eight tribesmen suddenly become so good?

Zhang Miaoke smiled shyly and said: "That's not true. Grandpa said he wants to use these 200 acres of first-class middle-grade spiritual land in exchange for the Jiuding Lake in your hands."

"Oh, it turns out you want to exchange for my lake." Henry suddenly realized.

"No change!" Henry Zhang refused directly.

"Why?" Zhang Miaoke looked at him with big, watery eyes, "200 acres of first-class middle-grade spiritual fields can harvest 20 kilograms of first-grade middle-grade spiritual grains in a year, which is equivalent to 10 pieces of spiritual stones. From the costs of dung, labor, protective formations, etc., as well as the spiritual grain paid to the clan treasury, we can make a net profit of 5 spiritual stones a year."

"Really? As far as I know, Spirit Lake also generates a lot of revenue. Just the harvest of various water attribute spiritual objects has made many people greedy." Henry Zhang touched his chin and calculated.

"Linghu Lake can indeed produce various rare water-attributed spiritual objects, but the yield is extremely low. The most important income of Linghu Lake is the income from bead trampling. The spirit clams that produce pearls are cruel in nature, and they live deep in the lake. Pearl divers can survive The chance in one year is less than 30%.”

"What? Less than 30%?" Henry Zhang was surprised.

No wonder the pearl divers and hunting teams under Jiuhu Bridge always recruit the most people, and consume too much.

"Yes, stepping on beads is against the will of nature. I don't know how many Zhang family's children died at the mouth of the clam, and a large part of the lake owner's income needs to be used to compensate these victims."

Henry Zhang felt as if he was deflated.

When he got Jiuding Lake, his original plan was to resettle the neighbors on Temple Street and give them a legitimate job.

But when he heard Zhang Miaoke say that the probability of a pearl diver surviving a year was less than 30%, his heart began to beat again.

"In a lake, the income from bead hunting can usually be 5 spiritual stones a year. However, a large amount of pension is required, and the salary of pearl divers is also very high. After removing these costs, the annual income is only 1 spiritual stones. profit."

"However, I heard that the profits in the lake are not only from stepping on beads, but also from spiritual fish and shrimps. The profits from the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus on the lake are also not low."

"The clan elder is indeed knowledgeable. Then Miaoke will help you calculate the annual income of these things."

Zhang Miaoke started to count them one by one with his fingers.

"Spirit fish, shrimp and other aquatic spirit beasts have delicious meat and sufficient spiritual energy. They are more than five times the value of ordinary monster meat. However, raising spirit fish and shrimps also requires costs. Monster meat needs to be released regularly. This alone The investment of one piece per year will cost 3 spiritual stones."

"3 spirit stones?" Henry Zhang was surprised again, "Spirit fish and shrimps are natural creatures, so why do you need to put monster meat on them regularly?"

"It's okay if we don't put in the monster meat. The output will only be 3% of the original, and we can't plant the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus."

"What does this have to do with Jiuzi Linglian?"

"Think about it, if these spiritual fish and shrimps don't have monster meat to eat, what will they eat?"

"Nine Sons of Spiritual Lotus."

"Yes," Zhang Miaoke nodded, with an expression of relief that Zhang Xuan's child could be taught, "Actually, spiritual fish and shrimps do not earn spiritual stones. Every year, the spiritual stones sold by salvaging spiritual fish and spiritual shrimps are It’s only 3 yuan a year, and I mainly rely on the Nine Sons Linglian to earn spiritual stones.”

"Let me just say, for such a big lake, you will definitely earn more than this amount of spiritual stones."

"But clan leader, do you know how long it takes for the Nine Sons Spiritual Lotus to mature?"

"how long?"

"Ninety years."

"What? It takes so long? Then I see that there are several lakes growing this kind of Nine-Son Spirit Lotus."

"They are all planted by strong branches and passed down. They are intended to be harvested by future generations. If you, the clan elder, want to quickly achieve wealth accumulation, I don't think you will spend 90 years planting them. Nine Sons Spiritual Lotus, right?" Zhang Miaoke said with big eyes.

At this time, Henry Zhang frowned and stared at the innocent-looking girl in front of him, wishing he could exchange the token of Jiuding Lake to her immediately.

"How can there be such a talent among the old strong branches of the eight tribes? I almost gave up Jiuding Lake with just a few words." Zhang Xuan thought to himself.

"Does the clan elder agree to the exchange?" Zhang Miaoke asked, opening his hands.

"Since the income from the Great Lake is very small, how can the Eight Clans make a loss-making deal to acquire my Jiuding Lake? Don't tell me that you are grateful for the reward I gave you for bringing back the ancestor's corpse. Give me a reasonable reason."

Zhang Miaoke sighed and said with a young and mature look: "It's okay to tell the elders of the ten clans that next to Jiuding Lake is my family's Sanbao Lake. My great-grandfather wants to completely connect the two lakes."

"Why do we need to completely connect the two lakes?" Henry Zhang was confused again.

Zhang Miaoke pondered for a moment and said: "It turns out that Sanbao Lake and Jiuding Lake are not connected, and the water level of Jiuding Lake is higher than Sanbao Lake, and there are nine spiritual eyes around Jiuding Lake. Once they are connected, the water of Jiuding Lake will flow into Sanbao Lake, then there will be 150 acres of first-class middle-grade spiritual fields around Jiuding Lake."

"150 acres of spiritual land?" Henry Zhang was thinking quickly, "What do you think of this? How about I pay a sum of spiritual stones to the elders of the eight tribes and let me drain the water from Jiuding Lake into your Sanbao Lake?"

After Zhang Miaoke heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, if you put the water from Jiuding Lake into Sanbao Lake, the water level of Sanbao Lake will rise, and it will flood many of my properties around Sanbao Lake."

"How much property? I will compensate according to the price." Henry Zhang said.

Zhang Miaoke said with a bitter face: "Not only these properties, opening up the two lakes will also alarm the terrifying existence in the lake."

"Isn't the Nine Great Lakes located within our Zhangjiaji, and is it our private property? Why are there still horrors in it?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why do you think the death rate among pearl divers is so high every year?"

"Is there a second-level spiritual beast deep in the lake?"

Zhang Miaoke nodded and said: "Yes, to be precise, they are second-order spiritual clams. Most of those first-order spiritual clams are under the protection of second-order spiritual clams."

"Second-order spiritual clam? That is comparable to the existence of the foundation-building ancestor."

"In the water, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor is still three points weaker than these second-order spiritual clams. Fortunately, these second-order spiritual clams are submerged in the depths of the lake and generally do not float up."

"Oh, that's it." Henry Zhang nodded slightly.

"That tribe always agrees to exchange?"

"This... this matter is of great importance, I still have to think about it."

"Well, Miaoke will wait for the clan elder's reply at any time."

After saying that, Zhang Miaoke jumped up and left.
