Ye Ming selected three kinds for planting experiments. These three types are first-class long-growing rice, first-class crystal sweet potatoes, and elder vegetables. Long-life rice, after planting, will germinate and break through the soil in one day. It takes two days to grow roots and leaves, and three days to grow into solid wood. After another three days, it will bloom and bear fruit and grow the husk of long-growing rice.
Ordinary rice is only the size of sand grains, and this long-growing rice, one by one, is as big as an egg, hanging from the top like a fruit, waiting for the owner to pick it.
Longevity rice only absorbs the top three auras, so Ye Ming chose a plain with large spiritual mines underground for planting. He took out three acres of land, personally arranged the Juling array, dug the canals, and finally planted and fertilized. The fertilizer he applied was not manure used in ordinary crop fields, but powder ground from the bones of ancient beasts. The value of this stuff was very high.
Then he stood beside the field and remained motionless. A day later, the rice seeds germinated, the tender buds, the top of the soil, and then the technique branches and leaves. The next day, it grew into a half-height small dwarf tree, with leaves like crystals, tender and green, exuding a faint fragrance.
On the third day, white jade-like flowers grew, and the aroma hit people, and they could be smelled hundreds of miles away. Then the flowers fall and grow into the chaff, which has the size of a finger at first, then grows bigger and bigger, and finally becomes as huge as an egg.
In this way, after waiting another three days, the rice husk turned golden yellow, and it would fall to the ground with a light touch. Ye Ming sat back and forth for more than ten days before he saw that the rice was mature. He reached out and took one, and tore open the shell with his hands, and exposed a crystal-like rice. There was a natural rune on the rice meat, the light was floating slightly, and the fragrance of fragrance came to his face.

He took a bite, and his mouth melted, turning into a clear stream, entering his stomach, and then quickly turning into energy. His eyebrows were raised, and he was surprised to say: "It is indeed a first-grade rice, and its effect is comparable to that of panacea, which can be taken directly as a panacea!"
The planting experiment was successful, and Ye Ming ordered the heavenly workers to plant a large area. Heavenly workers are very professional, and they can't do worse than Ye Ming in the steps of channeling, gathering together, farming, and fertilizing. So in just half a month, three billion kilograms of long-life rice were planted in the ground, waiting for results.
Yields of first-class crops are high, and long-lasting rice is basically firm once to recover the cost of seeds. In other words, once a pound of rice is planted, once it is grown, it can produce a pound of fruit in three days, and it can bear 120 times a year, that is, its annual output can reach about 120 pounds.
Of course, in the early production of grain, Ye Ming will keep the seeds and plant them on a large scale. Once the plantation has reached scale, he can use it for profit. It is a pity that as a first-class crop, it is impossible for Ye Ming to let them circulate among the human race, which will surely attract the attention of the protoss and even affect the Moon Shadows.
All he had to do was to process the first-class crops into the medicine of Pills or Peiyuan so that the Protoss could not see the relationship with the first-class crops. Of course, this is indispensable for supporting factories and skilled natural labor, which require a large investment.
Taking long-lived rice as an example, counting the array method, fertilizer, and labor, Ye Ming estimated that for every kilogram of long-lived rice produced, the cost would be about 6,000 eternal coins. If the rice is sold simply, 10,000 eternal coins can be sold for less. If it is made into elixir or food, the price can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 eternity, which is completely a profitable thing.
In contrast, second-class crops are less complicated and are collected directly for sale. Take the second-rate first-class crops as an example. For every pound of rice picked, the various inputs are about 100,000 Changsheng coins. If a catty dish is sold on the market, it costs 200,000 less, and it also has a huge profit margin.
The cost of third-class crops is relatively low. For example, the cost of producing a third-level Zhenyuan Valley can cost up to 120,000 patacas, and the price can reach 180,000 patacas. Considering the high prices of first- and second-class crops, Ye Ming's sales people are mainly people from the French heaven and longevity.
However, with large-scale planting, production costs will further decline, and selling prices will also decline. However, these advanced crops are destined to be eaten only by rich and powerful people, and the poor cannot afford them. After all, for an ordinary person, tens of thousands of longevity coins are enough for them to spend a lifetime, who will use to buy rice to eat?
If it is said that ordinary people can consume it, they are third-class crops. Like the Three Emperors World, the immortal mainland, the people at the bottom are far richer than the Tianyuan continent, and their annual per capita income can generally reach more than one hundred twenty thousand yuan in currency. Especially if there are monks in the family, it is normal for them to earn several million a year. And like the third-level and seventh-level dragon blood rice, a catty meter and several hundred legal days, most people can afford it. However, this price is much lower than the price of Confucianism and Taoism. After all, Ye Ming has a favorable environment in the chaotic continent and the cost of planting is lower.
While breeding, Ye Ming found a big problem. Not all parts of the land in the settlements are suitable for first-class crops. Some can only grow second- and third-class crops. In some places, crops cannot even be grown at all.
In response, Ye Ming took the sword of time and space and carried out a detailed mapping. It was found that the entire settlement could only grow about 500 thousand mu of long-growing rice. There are only about 2 million acres where crystal sweet potatoes can be grown. The situation of old vegetables is much better, with more than 200 billion mu of land available. The third-level Zhenyuan Valley has a plantable area of 2 trillion mu. As for the dragon blood rice, the plantable area reaches 15 trillion mu.
For the entire settlement, about 46 trillion acres of land can be consumed. In addition to the above, the remaining 31 trillion acres can be planted with some fourth-class crops. However, the income was too low. Ye Ming was not interested in planting. He would give those land to the three emperors who had migrated for free to plant it for feeding animals.
Ye Ming further estimated that, per acre of long-growing rice, it would yield once, and its output would be two thousand kilograms, and one hundred and twenty times a year, it would be 240 thousand kilograms. At a cost of 6,000 per catty and a price of 10,000 per catty, the profit per mu per year is 960 million eternal coins. If all 500,000 acres of land are planted with long-life rice, the total output is 120 trillion kilograms, and the annual profit is 480 trillion yuan.
If it can be further processed into elixir, profits can be further increased to reach more than 160 trillion eternal coins. However, the construction of the factory requires time and investment, and no money can be seen for the time being.
The yield of crystal sweet potatoes is slightly higher. With each harvest of stems, the yield per mu can reach 5,000 kilograms, which can be collected 90 times per year. The annual output per mu of land is 500,000 to 500,000 kilograms. The production of crystal sweet potatoes costs 2,500 eternal coins per catty, the price is 4,000 per catty, the profit per catty is 1,500, and the profit per mu is 675 million eternal coins.
If 2 million acres are planted with crystal sweet potatoes, the total annual output will reach 90 trillion kilograms, and the total profit will reach 1,350 trillion eternal coins!
Comparatively speaking, the yield per mu of second-class crops without old vegetables is not so high. Its yield per mu is only about a kilogram. It is picked 36 times a year and the annual output is 36,000 kilograms. Every catty has to deduct 100,000 long-lived coins to grow, only 100,000 long-lived coins have a profit. Therefore, the annual profit per mu of land is 3.6 billion Changsheng coins, which is 4,400 eternal coins. Fortunately, the planting area of non-aging vegetables can reach 200 billion mu, and the final total profit can reach about 88 billion yuan.
In the remaining town Yuangu, the annual profit is about 50 trillion eternal coins; the profit of Dragon Blood Rice is relatively low, only about 12 trillion eternal coins each year. However, he did not plan to make money, but delivered it to the Tianyuan and Three Emperor continents as a ration for the people.
The three trillion people in the Three Emperors World divided the remaining thirty-one trillion acres of land, and each person could share an average of ten acres. In these places, fourth-grade crops can be planted, and the yield is much higher than in the Three Emperors World. At the time of the Three Emperors, each family also planted tens of acres of land, with an average of less than ten acres per person. With the exception of rations, most of the proceeds have been rented.
Nowadays, not only does Ye Ming not rent, he also provides them with high-quality seeds, fertilizer, and even irrigation for free. The people were naturally extremely happy, and very grateful to the Emperor. They set up a longevity tablet at home and offered it to Jingri.
In fact, people's income from farming is quite limited. Taking the 31 trillion acres of low-grade crops as an example, the annual output of three seasons is only about three thousand pounds, which is three stone meters. The price of each stone meter is only more than 30 legal days, and Sanshi only has one hundred legal days. For each of the four and fifty acres of land, the annual harvest is only four or five thousand tianfa.
Most families ca n’t make much money by farming purely. Most of them go to mines, shops, restaurants, and other places to earn money and support their families. Their income is much higher than that of farming. Of course, some families also plant more land, with hundreds of thousands of acres, and their income is also considerable.
Fortunately, the long-growing rice, crystal sweet potatoes, and non-vegetable vegetables grown by Ye Ming, as well as Zhenyuan Valley and Dragon Blood Rice, are crops that need to be collected frequently, which requires a lot of manpower. This kind of rough work, Ye Ming could not let Tiangongyu and the guards do it. This item alone provides a lot of job opportunities for the people.
Take one acre of long-lived rice as an example, two people are needed for fertilization, two people for harvesting, three people for drying and packing, one person for watering, three people for loose soil, grass, and pruning, plus one other acre. The ground needs about fifteen people. For half a million acres of land, there are 7.5 million long workers.
The town of Yuangu employs more people. At least five people are responsible for each acre of land. Two trillion acres of land require population every year. In addition, almost all of these three trillion people have the opportunity to work. For such a long-term worker, Ye Ming can pay 300,000 to 500,000 yuan per year. In the final calculation, each person's annual income is as high as 300,000 to 400,000 legal days.
However, Ye Ming's ambitions didn't stop there. He named the place the first settlement. Once it's perfected here, he'll build the second, third, and more settlements, and then emigrate more people from all the big worlds!
