The old man was very busy, and the old man was very busy.

"Teacher Li, look, our mining company bought this vein, does it also include this mountain?" Huo Ling pointed to the map and said.

"That's right." Li Chengji nodded in confusion.

"Then is this mountain idle except for mining? I want to open a plantation at the foot of the mountain, and then set up an energy storage array on the mountain to gather the magic power nearby into the plantation."

The dagger was revealed, and Huo Ling said his ultimate goal.

"Ah?"

Li Chengji grabbed the map, looked at the terrain on it, and thought.

Then he looked at Huo Ling with surprise, and couldn't help saying: "You are a young man with a quick mind. You can think of this."

"Is it okay?" Huo Ling looked at Li Chengji's expression and didn't seem to have much objection.

"Not that it's impossible, but how much rent do you plan to pay to Swiss Mining?" Li Chengji asked with a smile.

"Ah, with our relationship, do you still want this rent from me?" Huo Ling said with a smile.

"One thing is one thing. Although the magic power on this mountain is useless to our mining company, it can be left empty. Giving this thing to your plantation is different. After all, this mining company is not just for the three of us to share the money, don't you think so?" Li Chengji pointed to the top and signaled Huo Ling.

Huo Ling thought about it and it was indeed the case. When the mountain was empty and did not generate benefits, it was a pile of things with no use value, but if it could generate benefits, it would be different.

"But given our relationship, I won't ask you for more. Anyway, this part of the rent belongs to Swiss Mining Company. You can give whatever you want. See how much you can give." Li Chengji rolled up the map and looked at Huo Ling.

"How about a 5% net profit rent?" Huo Ling carefully offered.

Li Chengji was stunned, then laughed, "You kid, okay, 5% is 5%. Anyway, I don't want to make money from you. This is enough to shut up other people. After a few years, when the mine is opened, I will sell this mountain land to you, and then I won't charge you."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Huo Ling was overjoyed.

"Tomorrow you draft the contract and I will stamp it. You can handle the plantation yourself later." Li Chengji said.

"Mr. Li, there is another favor I need your help with. I can't leave now. Please help me buy land." Huo Ling continued to trouble embarrassedly.

"No problem. Anyway, I have to run back and forth between Tuoyuan and here. Just tell me how much land you want to buy." Li Chengji nodded.

"This mountain covers an area of ​​about 25,000 mu. I will buy 30,000 mu at the foot of the mountain." Huo Ling roughly estimated his wallet and reported a number.

"Wow, you are really rich, okay, I will run this for you in a few days!" Li Chengji was surprised after hearing this.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Huo Ling thanked him again.

The current price of buying land in Tuoyuan is about one magic stone per mu of land. It can be said that it is at a low point now.

When Tuoyuan City is completed, this price is estimated to increase several times.

A total of more than 50,000 mu of land is also the highest amount Huo Ling can afford at present. After all, after buying the land, he still needs to refine energy storage runes and magic arrays.

This is also a huge investment, but fortunately it is a one-time investment. In addition to these, there are also costs for purchasing magic potion seeds and hiring planting workers.

Huo Ling roughly estimated that he had just spent all his money. If the mining company was not on the right track now and magic stones were not deposited every month, he would not dare to start the plantation plan now.

...

With the signing of the contract, Huo Ling also officially started the preparations for the plantation. He bought a large amount of materials to refine energy storage runes.

Fortunately, he knew how to do this, otherwise, it would be a huge investment, and now it is saved.

Soon, with the help of Li Chengji, the purchased land was approved, and Huo Ling officially became a big landlord.

Although it is not as good as his teacher, it is not bad. He is only a silver, and it is very good to be able to buy such a big family business.

The next step is the intensive refining work. A large number of runes are refined. Working for yourself is different from working for others.

In order to control costs, Huo Ling is very careful every time he makes it, trying to control the cost.

And when the land deed is approved

Afterwards, Huo Ling also asked Li Chengji to help find a group of construction workers to start building a house at the foot of the mountain as the central control room and staff dormitory of the plantation.

Huo Ling took a day to put the portable black iron-level defense array in the central control room for use.

When the funds from the mining company are collected, a complete defense array will be replaced.

More than 30 magic potion growers were recruited to start cultivating the fields. They used some blood and flesh materials of magic beasts and special fertilizers to maintain the fields.

After using the energy storage array, 55,000 acres of land can be reclaimed into 130 acres of magic potion planting fields.

Huo Ling was not idle either. He began to run around everywhere, burying those energy storage runes. Slowly, in the reclaimed magic potion fields, the concentration of magic power here has become higher and higher.

The planter recommended several high-value potions to Huo Ling to choose from, and finally Huo Ling chose the potion for making low-level magic potion, snakeweed.

Before, the goblin shaman Soni and others could grow this on that little potion field to make money, and Huo Ling felt that he should be able to make more money here.

After planting snakeweed, Huo Ling did some calculations, and the plantation was a very good income for Takuyuan.

First of all, when buying land, you need to spend a lot of money, and then whether you buy potion seeds or materials for energy runes, you will contribute taxes to Takuyuan City.

And when the potion is harvested, the money earned also needs to be taxed, and the tax rate is 20%.

Calculated, whether it is land trading or tax collection after the city is built, it is a huge profit, and it is no wonder that Nanhebo and Xinnan City want to develop a new city.

And Huo Ling, in addition to labor wages, various fertilizers, and some miscellaneous expenses, how much money can he make from the 130 acres?

After being planted and maintained by these growers, the snake grass matures in about three months, and one acre of densely planted snake grass can generate a net profit of about 300 magic stones after deducting taxes and other expenses.

Huo Ling now has 130 acres, which means that there will be a profit of nearly 40,000 magic stones every three months, and 5% of this will be paid to Swiss Mining Company.

The total funds obtained are about 38,000 magic stones, which is an average of more than 12,000 magic stones per month.
