Chapter 626: Forging a new city, the amazing benefits of the mine

An hour later, the flying boat was suspended over a small stream.

"Brother Wu, please look, there is a mineral vein under this creek. How about we go down and take a look?"

"Brother Xu, please."

After the two golden elixir masters flew down, the other monks on the flying boat walked out of the cabin one after another and came to the deck to look down curiously.

"Oh, the mineral vein discovered by the Xu family is actually here? I really didn't expect it. It seems that I have no chance of getting rich in this life!"

Just as everyone was pointing at the stream and discussing, suddenly a second-level foundation-building monk seemed to have discovered something and said in surprise.

"Fellow Taoist, what are you making such a fuss about? Why are you making a fortune?"

"You don't know, I have been here before, and I also hunted a first-order high-grade monster beside the creek.

While dealing with the corpses of monster beasts, I also accidentally discovered that some of the stones in the stream seemed to be ores. I picked up a few pieces at that time. Just when I was about to study them seriously, another second-level monster appeared. .

At that time, I was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. When I saw the second-level monster, I threw away all the ores in my hand, then turned around and ran away.

After I finally escaped from the pursuit of the second-level monster, I couldn't find this creek again if I tried to find it.

If I could have discovered the mineral vein here and reported it to the Xu family, I wouldn't have to come here to develop the mineral vein with you now.

Instead, he should be sitting in the second-level high-grade cave in Fangshi, practicing meditation with elixirs that improve his cultivation. "

Some monks believed his words, and some expressed doubts, but most monks did not pay attention to him, but looked around. After all, this is where they will live for a long time.

After Xu Feng accompanied Wu Jie to get a general understanding of the mineral veins, he began to send messages to his son Xu Lijie, asking him to take everyone off the spacecraft.

"Did you see it? Son, this creek, my father will use his means later to move it to another place.

Now organize your hands to clean up the trees, weeds, rocks, etc. near the creek and make it smoother. "

"Father, are we going to build a city here?"

Xu Lijie asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, with so many mining monks, we must build a shelter for them!"

Xu Feng said while looking at the surrounding environment.

"There's no need to go to so much trouble, right? There are plenty of mountains here. Can't we just open up some caves for him and them to live in? Why bother?"

Hearing these immature words, Xu Feng shook his head secretly. Although his son was very smart, he still lacked experience.

“Building a city has two advantages: first, it is easier to manage, and second, it is easier to resist danger.

If, as you said, these hired mining and smelting monks are allowed to open caves in the mountains at will, how can they be effectively managed?

And how can you guarantee that the direction of their cave extends into the mountains, rather than all the way down to the mineral veins? "

After listening to his father's instructions, Xu Lijie touched his nose in embarrassment, and then asked someone to start working.

The monks worked faster than ordinary people. In less than half a day, the original environment had undergone tremendous changes.

Xu Feng and Wu Jie, two golden elixir monks, were not idle during this period. They first worked together to bury the third-level low-grade spiritual veins that Mr. Han had secretly migrated underground more than ten miles away from the mines.

Then according to the guidance of the formation diagram, the third-order mid-grade formation that he brought with him was arranged on the mineral veins.

The spiritual veins that were moved this time were not originally from the Xu family, but were cultivated by Xu Feng after he found an unowned second-grade low-grade spiritual vein from Leizhou and invested a large amount of spiritual stones in order to mine the veins.

The formations were purchased from the Yuhua Palace at a large price. Although Long Yuran could now refine the third-order low-grade formations, she was still powerless to refine the third-order mid-grade ones.

After the basic safety issues were resolved, Xu Feng found his son again, took his hand, told Wu Jie to trust him, and then prepared to leave.

"Brother Xu, wait a minute. I might have been too busy just now. There is one more thing we haven't settled on yet. How about we discuss it now while you haven't left yet?"

After Xu Feng heard this, he thought about it and found that everything that needed to be explained had been explained. It seemed that nothing was missing. However, since the other party said so, he made a gesture to ask for explanation.

“According to my estimation, the output of ‘three-color spiritual iron’ from this mine in one month should be around 5,000 jins, and the output of third-level obsidian copper essence is estimated to be around 800 jins.

What I want to ask is, Brother Xu, how often do you plan to collect the spiritual minerals produced here? Is it three months, half a year, or one year? It's best to settle this matter in advance. "

After listening to Wu Jie's words, Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh. He thought that he had been focusing on production and safety issues these days and forgot about this matter. He really shouldn't have.

"Take it once a year! Three months or half a year is too frequent, so let's take it today.

Every year from now on, I will personally or send someone to collect the spiritual mines produced in the past year, and bring various cultivation resources and spiritual stones as salary. "

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, I won't have any problems."

"Okay, Brother Wu, Jie'er, take care, I'm leaving!"

In a flash, Xu Feng appeared above the sky, and at the same time, he began to settle accounts in his mind.

"Wu Jie's estimated output may not necessarily be very accurate, but it can also be regarded as a reference.

If it is true as he said, 5,000 kilograms of ‘three-color spirit iron’ can be produced in a month, then according to the market price of 120 lower-grade spirit stones per kilogram, this item alone is 600,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

The price of a kilogram of third-grade obsidian copper essence is 500 spirit stones, and 800 kilograms per month is 400,000 lower-grade spirit stones. The two together are 1 million, and 12 million lower-grade spirit stones in a year.

The annual salary of 700 Qi-refining monks is about 2.8 million lower-grade spirit stones. Although the salary of foundation-building monks is high, the number is small, so 2 million a year is enough.

Wu Jie's salary is 120,000 lower-grade spirit stones a year, plus three bottles of third-grade lower-grade elixirs every month, let's say his total salary is 300,000 a year.

In this way, the labor cost expenditure is about 5.1 million, plus the third-grade lower-grade spirit veins, and the additional consumption of more than 40,000 middle-grade spirit stones per year to maintain the operation of the third-grade middle-grade formation, the total cost is 5.6 million lower-grade spirit stones.

In addition, 10% of the annual income needs to be paid to Yuhua Palace, which is 1.2 million low-grade spirit stones.

12 million minus 5.6 million minus 1.2 million, the Xu family's annual income from this mine is only 5.4 million low-grade spirit stones.

According to the reserves, if the mining time of this mine is calculated according to the current progress, it will last for 200 years without any problem. It seems that the family will not have to worry about spirit stones in the future. "

When Xu Feng settled the accounts, Tenglongfang City was already in sight.
