Around noon, the old woman took Ye Lingyue to the mayor's mansion.

Along the way, Ye Lingyue watched the six roads and checked the situation in Zhouchu Town.

Zhouchu is a small town in the south of Daxia, with beautiful lakes and mountains.

Although Ye Lingyue stayed in Xiadu for a while, she had never been to this area.

She saw that there were many places and places along the way, and they were all connected by ditches. The crops in the fields grew very lush and green, and the air was filled with a rather strong aura.

Although this spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the God Realm or Ye Lingyue's Hongmengtian, in the human world, it is rare and sufficient spiritual energy.

Ye Lingyue took a closer look and discovered that what was planted in the ground was not ordinary food commonly used in the human world such as rice and wheat, but a kind of spiritual millet.

This is the season, around late autumn, when the millet has grown, and the slender and plump grains are shining golden in the sun, looking very attractive.

"Zhou Chu planted spiritual plants?"

When Ye Lingyue saw it, she couldn't help but feel a little more curious.

When she was in Daxia, she remembered that there was no custom of planting spiritual plants in Daxia.

The first time she came into contact with spiritual plants was in Guyuehai. The servants and outer disciples of Guyuehai would plant some spiritual medicines to refine elixirs.

"Lingsu has only been popularized in the past two or three years. It is said that the Zhou and Chu areas are suitable for growing spiritual millet. Alas..."

Seeing those spiritual millets growing happily, Granny Ye not only did not look happy, but also looked sad, and sighed deeply.

When Zhouchu Town was deemed suitable for planting Lingmi millet, the townspeople were very happy and proud, and every household rushed to plant it.

But later, the townspeople discovered that instead of bringing much benefit, planting Lingsu millet was actually a disaster.

"Grandma Ye, why did you say this?"

Ye Lingyue said in surprise.

Only then did Granny Ye speak eloquently and tell Ye Lingyue the ins and outs of it.

Zhouchu was originally a famous land of plenty and plenty in the Daxia area. Because of its fertile soil and fertile water, and numerous water veins, crops and fisheries were very developed.

It was also for this reason that Emperor Xia awarded this place to the Ye family.

After the people of the Ye family arrived here, they further managed the land based on the land of plenty, and Zhou Chu became richer.

But since a few years ago, the mainland sects headed by Gu Yuehai began to participate in the political affairs of various countries.

Those so-called monks among the common people began to search for suitable places to plant spiritual plants. After Zhou Chu was selected, he was forced to plant spiritual plants.

After large-scale planting of Lingzhi, no other crops are allowed to be planted.

As time went by, the townspeople in Zhou Chu did not even have enough food for food and clothing, so they had to go out to buy food.

But as a result, food prices have gone up.

What's even worse is that this year, for unknown reasons, locust plagues continue to occur in various places. The city of Mingzhou recently suffered a locust plague, resulting in no harvest.

The people of Zhou and Chu also suffered from famine.

"Not only that, after planting spiritual plants, there are fewer and fewer fish and shrimps in the waters of Zhouchu. There is not enough food, there are no fish and shrimps, and the lives of the people in the town are becoming more and more difficult."

When Granny Ye mentioned these things, the wrinkles on her forehead deepened a lot.

After hearing this, Ye Lingyue couldn't help but understand.

She also plants spiritual plants in Hongmeng Tian, ​​so she knows the growth patterns of spiritual plants very well.

When spiritual plants grow, they will absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and they will grow well.

If it were a blessed land like Ye Lingyue's Hongmeng Heaven, spiritual plants would naturally be able to grow continuously.

But Zhouchu Town just has more spiritual energy than other places in Daxia. Once spiritual plants are planted, the spiritual energy in this area will be absorbed completely.

If the aura in the air is not enough, it will naturally absorb the aura in the soil and waters. The fish and shrimps in the waters are also spiritual. When they realize that the aura in the water is insufficient, they will die or escape, and their numbers will be greatly reduced.

.

In a situation like Zhou Chu's, continuous cultivation of spiritual millet cannot exceed five years at most, otherwise Zhou Chu will completely turn from a land of plenty to a poor and miserable place.

Of course, for this kind of thing, only spiritual masters like Ye Lingyue can keenly capture the changes in the air and water. The townspeople of Zhou Chu have no idea how powerful it is.

Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and then asked.

"Having said that, the price of Lingsu is quite high. It stands to reason that with this income alone, the townspeople should receive a generous reward from various sects."

Since planting spiritual plants is promoted by Gu Yuehai, it should be done according to Gu Yuehai's style of conduct.

In the past, Guyuehai would always give high remuneration when purchasing.

Or rather, Qin Xiaochuan changed the rules after becoming the head coach.

Ye Lingyue didn't know that although Qin Xiaochuan was a strange demon, he was quite upright. Although he had infiltrated into the human world, he still followed the rules of Master Wuya when he went out to make purchases.

But since Ye Lingguang's "death", Qin Xiaochuan has not cared about the affairs within the sect and has left all the affairs of the sect to his disciples. Therefore, Qin Xiaochuan has no idea about these small things that happened in the human world.

"It would be great if that could be done. Gu Yuehai is a superpower that even Emperor Xia doesn't take seriously. How could he take the life and death of us civilians seriously? They just let the townspeople plant spiritual plants.

, they come to harvest millet every year, and they don’t give them a penny. The townspeople’s land has been seized, and they have no other income, so their days can only get worse and worse.”

Grandma Ye said this with a look of hatred on her face.

This is why, at noon, Granny Ye could only drink a bowl of porridge. She gave the porridge to Ye Lingyue, and she had no food to eat.

It is not uncommon in Zhouchu Town for people like Grandma Ye to go hungry and only have two meals a day.

Grandma Ye's situation is even considered good, but thanks to Grandma Ye's son working as an errand at the mayor's house, if it were another family, she wouldn't even be able to afford porridge and water.

"It's unreasonable. They force people to plant without paying them. This kind of behavior is no different from banditry. Gu Yuehai is so overbearing, can no one argue with them?"

After hearing this, Ye Lingyue became furious.

"Little girl, be quiet. How many times have I told you not to shout in public? It's all my fault, old lady, for talking too much."

Grandma Ye was so frightened that she covered her face and looked around warily.

If these words were heard by people from other sects, they would lose their heads. You must know that Gu Yuehai is now the leader of the sects in the human world.

Lone Moon Sea is no longer the Lone Moon Sea it used to be.

When Ye Lingyue joined Guyuehai, Guyuehai was still a hidden sect, and only a few powerful people and royal family knew of its existence.
