Chapter 163 The huge cost of forming Eagle Riders!
Ye's Fairy Village regards the establishment of the Eagle Cavalry as the most important matter, and all the close monks are racking their brains and cooperating from all aspects to figure out how to do their best to handle this matter.
The weapon refining workshop run by Wang Hu and Yang You began to think of ways to create spiritual weapon seats, red fire black iron spears, etc. suitable for use by the Spirit Eagle Aerial Cavalry.
The Alchemy Pavilion headed by Huang Yi is also preparing to refine animal feeding pills to make them easier to carry.
Although it is determined to form a powerful Spirit Eagle Aerial Cavalry, there are still many troubles to complete this arduous task.
It is impossible for any newly established fairy village to raise a spiritual eagle by itself. Because the growth period of the spiritual eagle is very long, which can last for decades, hundreds of years or even longer, and consumes a lot of time and grain feeding.
Therefore, if you want to raise a spiritual eagle, you can only buy it. In the market of Qingyun Lord Immortal City, the price of a third-level spiritual eagle is as high as 3,000 spiritual stones.
Ye Mo personally takes charge of the Spirit Eagle Pavilion. He can quickly raise the young eagle in the Ancient Painting Fairy Village and save a large amount of spiritual stones to purchase the Spirit Eagle.
Moreover, the account book is also in his own hands. No one else in Xiancun knows how many spiritual stones he has spent on this, and naturally has no way of knowing the mystery.
The number of spiritual eagles is not the problem.
But the spiritual grain needed to feed the spiritual eagle is still a huge problem.
Even for a fully adult third-level spiritual eagle, it is necessary to eat ten kilograms of spiritual grain a day to ensure strong combat effectiveness, which is 3,650 kilograms a year. On the market, one kilogram of spiritual grain and one spiritual stone is equivalent to three
More than a thousand spiritual stones.
You definitely can’t just buy spiritual grain from outside. You must plant a large amount of spiritual grain in your own fairy village to reduce costs.
The annual output of one acre of spiritual land can only produce thirty kilograms of spiritual grain. In order to raise a third-level spiritual eagle, more than 120 acres of spiritual land need to be planted in a year.
Ye's Fairy Village wants to ensure that its Spirit Eagle Aerial Cavalry has a strong deterrent effect on other Daxian Villages. It must have at least thirty Spirit Eagles. One Eagle Riding Team has five Spirit Eagles, forming six Eagle Riding Teams.
These squads can be dispersed to harass the enemy, and combined together they can fight a tough battle.
Thirty spiritual eagles eat 100,000 kilograms of spiritual grain a year and require more than 3,600 acres of spiritual land to support them.
Such a huge number of spiritual fields requires an extremely large number of Qi-training monks to work. For one Qi-training monk to take care of dozens of acres of spiritual fields, at least hundreds of Qi-training monks are required to take care of them. And these monks need to pay
Those who earn wages cannot live in vain.
After final calculation, the food supply for the Spirit Eagle alone was an extremely high expense.
With Ye's Fairy Village's current financial and human resources, this is obviously a huge challenge.
The cost of purchasing thirty spiritual eagles and the annual expenditure of 100,000 spiritual stones to raise thirty spiritual eagles are probably beyond the reach of any fairy village.
Although the Chihuo Mine Island in Ye's Fairy Village has mineral deposits worth no less than 100,000 spirit stones, and they recently made a fortune from ransoming captives, with 100,000 spirit stones in their pockets, Ye's Fairy Village will not be short of money in the short term.
, but you can’t be so lavish with money.
If all the spiritual stones in hand were invested in the spiritual eagle, then Ye Village would not be able to develop at all in other aspects.
This is not what Ye Mo wants to see.
"Six eagle cavalry teams and thirty spirit eagles are already the minimum requirement. If we reduce the number any further, we will not be able to form a scale. The unorganized spirit eagle aerial cavalry will not have much deterrent effect on a powerful fairy village like the Lou family.
In my ancient painting, there is only one acre of spiritual land, which is barely enough to feed three spiritual eagles. But now we plan to have thirty eagles, and the spiritual land in the ancient painting fairy village is obviously not enough."
Ye Mo was sitting in the study, calculating where to get so much spiritual grain to feed the spiritual eagle. When he thought of this, he became very anxious.
His Ancient Painting Fairy Village can now solve the number of spiritual eagles, but it cannot solve the food problem of the spiritual eagles.
Two figures, one green and one yellow, entered the study.
Ye Mo looked up and saw that it was Mo Ling and Huang Yi.
Mo Ling smiled and said: "Brother Ye, what are you thinking about? You are so focused."
"I'm still not worried about the spiritual eagle."
Ye Mo smiled and waved to the two of them, "Sit down."
As he spoke, he turned around, took out two teacups from the small table behind him, and poured two cups of spiritual tea for the two of them.
The two of them entered and sat down.
Qianqian picked up the tea cup with her delicate hands. Huang Yi smelled it, took a small sip with an intoxicated expression, and then said with a smile: "Last time, the guy Gao Jian drank up all the few taels of tea that Brother Ye gave me. I just drank two taels."
cup."
Ye Mo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Gao is too greedy. Next time he will be punished and cannot touch the spirit tea again."
Mo Ling chuckled: "Brother Ye, do you really not understand or are you just pretending? You must have a lot of private goods hidden here. Take them out quickly and I will share them equally with Huang Yi."
"I don't have much left. You guys have already divided it up."
Ye Mo smiled bitterly.
He got this Snow Mountain Spirit Tea from Lu Tong, and now it was spotted by these two guys. It seemed that he couldn't escape, so he had to take out two small bags and handed them over, saying: "Take it, I'm worried now."
, drinking tea doesn’t even taste good.”
The two women looked at each other, smiled, and put away the tea leaves.
"Brother Ye, we came to you this time because of the manpower problem of Lingzhifang."
Mo Ling then suppressed his smile and said seriously: "A Qi-training monk who has water spirit roots and has learned the spirit rain technique can only be responsible for an average of twenty acres of spiritual fields. If he cultivates a thousand acres of spiritual valley, it will take at least five years.
Ten monks who know the spirit rain technique.
In the past few days, Huang Yi and I have counted the population of the whole village. There are more than a hundred official immortals in the village, and there are only about thirty or forty monks with water spiritual roots and enough potential to practice the spirit rain technique. Among them are immortals.
Wei, and the monks in several other functional buildings. These people must not be able to change their studies to planting, right?
Even if we include them, we can barely cultivate a thousand acres of spiritual land, produce 30,000 kilograms of spiritual grain a year, and can only raise eight spiritual eagles. If we plant less spiritual land, we may only be able to raise three to five.
One thousand acres is already our limit. We should be conservative and plant 500 acres. No more, otherwise the normal operation of Fairy Village will be affected.
Of course, we can also hire casual cultivators who know the spirit rain technique to help us irrigate the spiritual fields. However, casual cultivators are too mobile and often move around, which is very unstable. We cannot place all our hopes on casual cultivators.
This is a huge gap between the manpower we need to raise thirty spiritual eagles."
"So few manpower?"
Ye Mo's face became even more ugly.
Naturally, he cannot drag the immortal guards who mainly focus on combat power and the monks who refine elixirs, weapons, and poisons to cultivate spiritual valleys.
This kind of practice of digging out the east wall to make up for the west wall will definitely not be done.
Changing people to positions they are not good at will not only waste manpower, but also make the entire Fairy Village have no other income. Not to mention being promoted to Fairy Town in the future, I am afraid that it will not be long before even making ends meet is a problem.
You must know that the spiritual eagle's sky advantage can only be achieved during the Qi training period.
Once Fairy Village is promoted to Fairy Town and a large number of foundation-building monks appear, Spirit Eagle will lose its advantage in the sky. We cannot abandon other aspects of development just to raise Spirit Eagle.
Ye Mo tapped the table of the spiritual wood with his fingers, frowned and said: "A thousand acres of spiritual land can only raise eight, we need to raise at least thirty, almost four thousand acres of spiritual land.
Let's do this. You organize warriors to cultivate a thousand acres of spiritual fields. If you don't have enough manpower, go and recruit them. I will issue a notice to recruit monks who can skillfully use the spiritual rain technique. I will gather fifty people and you two will check and determine the good candidates.
Report it to me again.
It’s not like the Spirit Eagle can be prepared immediately once it’s decided. The Spirit Valley consumption won’t be too much in the short term, and we still have time to prepare. In short, you must start taking action on the Spirit Field matter immediately, the sooner the better.”
"All right"
Mo Ling nodded.
After determining the number and location of newly reclaimed spiritual fields, the two women left.
Ye Mo immediately found Chang Fei to arrange the recruitment of manpower.
Half an hour later, a notice recruiting cultivators for cultivators was posted on the bulletin board of a restaurant in Xian Village. This did not cause much commotion among the casual cultivators.
Generally, casual cultivators mainly focus on hunting monsters, and rarely learn the spiritual rain technique required for cultivating spiritual fields.
Only those immortal monks who specialize in planting will come to apply. In fact, they are in a very embarrassing situation. The old fairy villages have fixed planting monks, and there is usually little shortage of people.
After the new monks learned planting, they couldn't find many people alive, and many had to change their careers to hunt monsters.
As soon as this notice came out, some auxiliary monks from Qingyun Immortal Academy applied for the job.
Ye Mo left directly from the teleportation array in the City Lord's Mansion and went to Qingyun Immortal City to solve the problem of the Golden Eagle Egg.
He has three golden eagles in his hand. Since he wants to expand the number of spiritual eagles, he must let them lay eggs. But how to lay eggs as quickly as possible involves breeding. It also involves the bloodline of the spiritual beasts and the power of the spiritual beasts when they mature.
If there is a problem with breeding and the bloodline is weakened, a lot of power will be weakened after adulthood.
Ye Mo's eyes darkened at the details. He had to consult a monk who was proficient in spiritual beast breeding.
With the city lord's token, he walked into the inheritance hall of Qingyun Immortal Academy.
Ye Mo didn't look much and walked straight into the stone room of the Royal Beast Room.
The service here is still as good as before.
As soon as Ye Mo entered, a monk in green clothes who was in the Qi training stage hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Hey, City Lord Ye, long time no see, what do you need?"
The green-robed monk asked diligently with a smile on his face.
Ye Mo was a little surprised. He had only been here a few times, but this person actually knew his identity. He couldn't help but be impressed.
"I want to ask something. I have three golden-feathered eagles here. I wonder if you have any of their kind here to breed them?"
When Ye Mo thought that this man was going to take away a large amount of spirit stones, he felt bad and didn't even give him a smile.
Having said this, he directly released Dajin. The fully grown golden-feathered eagle had a huge body, and the originally wide hall became narrower.
"Hey, the purebred Golden Feather Spirit Eagle, Fellow Daoist Ye, this Golden Feather Spirit Eagle, has pure golden feathers, no miscellaneous feathers, and very pure blood. This is very rare in our Qingyun Fairy City. It can only be found in those remote sea areas.
This purebred golden-feathered eagle"
As soon as he saw Dajin, the monk in green's eyes suddenly lit up. As he said this, he wanted to go over and touch the feathers, but was stared back fiercely by Dajin's sharp eagle eyes.
