Chapter 197 Playing it safe is too much
After dinner, Wei Ce took Ji Liang, Xiao Cheng, Gong You and Si Shuo to find the seventh elder in the clan.
The beastmen at home, especially the beastmen who followed Si Shuo from the Southern Continent, basically have no natal family.
Yin Jiang has severed ties with the Eagle Clan, and Xiao Cheng has not yet brought the little female back home. Now it is her first time to visit the beast husband's tribe.
Before going out, Si Shuo prepared a rootless flower and tree spirit in a metal cage for each iron-eating beast tribe member. It is a good choice whether they use it themselves or give it to their own little females and cubs. of.
Rootless flowers and trees are not expensive, but this is the only one, and the etiquette is light but the affection is heavy!
When they arrived at the gate of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, the Seventh Elder was already waiting with two young and strong orcs.
"When we heard the sound of you going out, we rushed to the door and waited," the seventh elder said with a smile without any airs.
Ji Liang handed over the sack of rootless flowers and trees with a smile, and briefly explained its usage and benefits.
The Iron-eaters were slightly surprised. It's not that they haven't seen it before, there are many little females in the northern area of the city carrying rootless flower and tree spirits, like fluttering butterflies, playing around, which often makes the females and cubs at home full of envy in their eyes.
It's just that Wugen Huamuling has been called up to the price of a tenth-level crystal stone, and there is still no place to buy it even if there is a crystal stone!
Unexpectedly, they gave a bagful of them and took care of every iron-eating beast family, which made people feel that even the tenth-level crystals seemed cheap.
"No, this gift is too valuable, we can't accept it," the seventh elder shook his head and pushed it out. The five beastmen in this small family have less than one level 10 crystal in the beast barracks. stones, but here there are five hundred.
Si Shuo smiled lightly and stretched out her hand. In her palm were a few rootless flower seeds. With bursts of fluorescent green light, the seeds quickly took root, sprouted, bloomed and became transparent and crystal clear in her palm!
"This..." The three iron-eating beast tribesmen stared in disbelief with their eyes widened.
“The wood spirits purchased by the big guys in the city were all condensed by me. As a holy female, the wood spirit energy I condense is relatively pure, so these little things are born with some spiritual consciousness, although not much. But it can bring us a lot of convenience.
We are also worried that everyone will dislike the gift we prepared for not spending crystal stones."
Seeing this, the seventh elder was not polite and smiled. He took the heavy sack and asked one of the orcs to send it to the tribe before chasing them.
It seems that Wei Zexun's little female family is indeed sincere and sincere. They are willing to spend energy to maintain a relationship with the crystal stone and the iron-eating beast, so naturally they will not treat Wei Ze any worse.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see it right now. Should we look at the shops or the fields first?”
"Tiantian, Tiantian is a better choice," Ji Liang, the representative of Xiaojia, said with a smile.
After the group left the door, they headed north. The iron-eating beast tribe was located in the northwest corner of Guangshou City. Going out from their west gate was a large number of winding bamboo forest mountains.
To the north are endless fields!
“We, the iron-eating beast clan, like to play it safe no matter how we behave or do things. We don’t have the talent for business and farming, but there is always something good about having more land.
No matter what we do Life is so hard, and we have not even thought about selling a piece of the land left by our ancestors. With the expansion of Guangshou City, no other family owns as many shops and fields as we do.
When the fields are rented out, we do not charge crystal stones, but ask the orcs who farm the land to hand over 40% of the grain, fruits and vegetables; the shops charge rent according to the area and market price... "
The seventh elder took them on a flying beast and pointed to the fields belonging to the iron-eating beast.
"Our tribe has a rule that as long as there is an iron-eating beast tribe member in the family, whether male or cub, they can be allocated a piece of land and several shops.
Weize is The warriors in our clan can be allocated fifty acres of fertile land... What do you think of that piece of land? It's not far from your home and produces a lot of grain, fruits and vegetables..."
The land suggested by the Seventh Elder was indeed good, close to water sources and fertile.
Si Shuo looked around and all the orcs said that the orcs in Midland City were good at planting, and the food produced in the land was enough for them to survive the rainy and cold seasons.
Looking at the lush green fields outside the beast city is very pleasant, but when you walk in and take a closer look, you can see that the beasts are still a little rough in tending the fields. The plants are sparse, with weeds in the middle, and some leaves are yellow and nutritious. Bad look.
I can only say that they are better than the orcs in the suburbs, that’s all!
Si Shuo pursed her lips. She had never farmed before. Even if she read books and knew how to increase the production of grain, fruits and vegetables, she did not dare to pat her chest and make promises until she practiced it.
She asked with a smile: "Seventh Elder, after we allocate the land, can we take it back and hire people to plant it?"
The Seventh Elder nodded, "Of course, but you have to think Well, it's easier to rent out the land. You don't have to worry about anything and just wait for the harvest to get 40% of the output.
The orcs rent the land to fill their stomachs, so they naturally take care of it carefully. The more the fields produce, the more they can feed the females and cubs at home!
If you take back the fields, Huajingshi will need to plan what to plant when, and how to purchase seeds. Things like sowing, weeding, watering, etc. all need to be taken care of and supervised by you.
If something is not handled well, it may be that the year is over and there is no harvest in the fields, and the crystal stones you hire are not enough. ”
He speaks from experience, and 40% of the land rent is just right.
Si Shuo nodded with a smile, already figuring out that there are eighteen months in a year in the Beast World. It has only been more than three months since spring has entered summer, and there are still six months left before the rainy season. Once enough of the crop in the field has matured, plant it for another season. When the time comes, they will take back the fields and plant them by themselves. As long as the field yields increase satisfactorily, I believe they will be able to take back all the iron-eating beast tribe's fields for unified farming and management next year!
The seventh elder immediately carved the scope and ownership of the land on the bamboo slips he carried, and then took them to see the shops.
Since the Iron-Eating Beast Clan has many shops and they are all rented out, Si Shuo and the others were not polite and directly chose three large shops adjacent to each other on the most prosperous main street!
Coincidentally, there is a shop that is a ready-made clothing shop run by the Gray Parrot tribe. The other two were a high-end animal skin shop run by the civets and a food shop run by the porcupines.
“There are five couples in the clan this year, and we have been busy. As in previous years, we have not collected the rent for the shops.
We are also considering what happens if the clan members Among the married female families, there are those who are good at running shops, and they can earn more than the rent, which reduces the burden on the family."
The seventh elder continued to explain, "These three companies rent our shops. In the past thirty years, the rents of other shops have increased to some extent, but they have maintained the original rent..."
