"Why is this?"

"The number of black toads in the rainforest is limited."

“Furthermore, in order to ensure their condition, we cannot squeeze them to death.

The amount of spiritual land they can take charge of is limited, and the current scale of expansion has reached the limit of what they can support."

At this point, she took the initiative to equate herself with these black toads and complained: "This is also the limit of me and Fellow Daoist Luo."

Hearing her complaints, Meng Zhou didn't feel the same way in his heart. Instead, he felt that human endurance was indeed not comparable to that of monsters and beasts.

As long as you squeeze the limit of your potential, there will often be surprises.

Meng Zhou had listened to Zhu Qian complaining about how heavy the task was in Sanchuan Plain for several periods of time, but as the situation in Sanchuan Plain put more demands on spiritual planters, he was able to handle them all.

Looking at her current state now, she is not much different. She has obviously grown a lot compared to when we first met her.

Meng Zhouqi said: "But I think you are quite free now?"

Zhu Qian said hehe: "Because from today on, I can really relax."

Having said this, she looked at Meng Zhou with an expression that said, "You might as well take a guess."

"Has your teacher arranged for reinforcements to come over again?" Meng Zhou said softly.

"You know?" Zhu Qian's eyes opened wider, as if she was curious about the source from which he knew.

"This is the only possibility I can think of, right? Are there other possibilities?"

"Uh..." Zhu Qian blinked and realized that this was indeed the case.

Even if she was asked to guess, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of a second possibility.

She added: "Then you can guess how many reinforcements have come this time?"

"How much?" Meng Zhou asked.

"You can take a guess," Zhu Qian said.

"No guessing." Meng Zhou said.

"Six spiritual planters, two second-level mid-level, and four second-level low-level."

"Plus Daoist Luo and I, we have four middle-grade and four low-grade, which is barely enough." Zhu Qian said "casually".

However, Meng Zhou still keenly captured Hua Dian and said "surprised":

"Has your level as a spiritual planter been raised to the second-level mid-level?"

Zhu Qian waved her hand, pretending to be nonchalant and wrote: "I have been busy for so long without touching my feet, so it can be considered a small gain."

Meng Zhou, however, congratulated him without breaking the rules of etiquette.

Her appearance was perfunctory and indifferent, but her movements and expressions engraved her true inner thoughts on her face.

After smoothing her hair, Meng Zhoucai curiously asked:

"There aren't many second-level spiritual planters in the association. How come we have so much support for you this time?"

"Because last time it was my personal request for help, but this time it was President Pan who asked the association for help in the name of the Sanchuan Society. The nature is different."

Speaking of this, she also emphasized: "The association I am talking about is not a spiritual planter branch, but a professional association."

Meng Zhou asked unexpectedly: "What's going on?"

The information revealed by Zhu Qian was really beyond Meng Zhou's expectation.

Zhu Qian did not show off and discussed the matter with Meng Zhou in detail.

Faced with the increasing number of applications for the use of the land ox and the rainforest black toad, the Sanchuan Association did not directly reject it. Instead, it said that the existing number of Sanchuan plateau can only maintain this level of use demand.

Subsequent applications can only be queued up. Sanchuan Association is communicating with Bixueyuan to strive to transfer more rainforest black toads this year.

Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that after September this year, Sanchuan Plain will usher in another wave of land reclamation.

At this point, she suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Zhou, and asked, "Do you know who is the most anxious now?"

"Who is it?" Meng Zhou didn't even try to guess, he just acted as a competent compliment.

"Dai Shouli and his fellow local monks, to be more specific, are the new foundation builders they sent to Qinglinfang last year and have returned one after another.

The number of new foundation builders alone now exceeds two hundred!"

After her reminder, Meng Zhou also remembered it. He was practicing at home every day and almost forgot about it.

As for Zhu Qian saying that these people had the most violent reaction to this matter, Meng Zhou could understand it.

Before these people were promoted to Foundation Establishment, they were already saddled with huge debts.

——In order to bind these people, it is naturally impossible for Dai Shouli and others to use unreliable means such as friendship.

But it is also impossible to really tie them up as long-term servants. Even if they are bound by the Dao Heart Oath, the side effects, or backlash, caused by this method will be very terrifying.

Therefore, debt binding is used. If you have a Taoist heart and swear to witness, you are not afraid that they will not admit it.

After completing the foundation building, their most urgent need to earn spiritual stones is completely equivalent to their Taoist heart.

Even for ordinary people, missing out on a free bargain is equivalent to a huge loss, let alone them.

Furthermore, these are all new foundation builders, and it is still too difficult to manage a second-level spiritual field on their own.

"At their collective request, Dai Shouli and others teamed up to ask for a guarantee from the Sanchuan Society." Zhu Qian said.

"What guarantee?" Meng Zhou was curious.

"The Sanchuan Society cannot discriminate against local monks. Local monks cannot be treated worse than outsiders." Zhu Qian said.

Meng Zhouyi was stunned. At first glance, these words sounded really weak and aggrieved.

When did the local monks, who had always been in a strong position, become so humble?

But after thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhou found out the interesting part.

Sure enough, Zhu Qian said: "Faced with such a request, it is naturally impossible for the Sanchuan Society to refuse to agree."

“No matter how long the queues are for those landowners’ applications, Sanchuan Club meets every landowner’s needs, such as arranging for Shakedi Mangniu to open up 5,000 acres of spiritual land for them, and arranging for regular irrigation by Rainforest Black Toad.

Then, the same share must be allocated to new local foundation builders at the same time.”

“So, based on these changes, by the end of this year, the scale of the newly opened spiritual fields in Sanchuan Plain will be conservatively estimated to be more than three times the current size.

If the Blue Blood Origin is powerful and can get more second-level monsters with the ability to rain, the scale will be even bigger!"

"If this is really the case, even if fellow Daoist Luo and I are split into two halves, we still won't be able to handle it."

"President Pan obviously knows this. Sanchuan Yuan will have no choice if we don't increase the number of second-level spiritual planters in large numbers."

"At first, President Pan asked me to ask the teacher for help again, but the teacher did not agree.

Because after Jade Lake was transformed into a third-level spiritual land, many high-quality second-level spiritual lands were also added.

The demand for second-level spiritual planters is also extremely high. Under such circumstances, who is willing to come to Sanchuan Yuan?

If the teacher forces the assignment, it will be like assigning students, which is very damaging to the prestige."

"After hearing my reply, President Pan finally brought this issue to the association headquarters through some unknown channels."

"In the end, thanks to the coordination and communication from the association headquarters, the teacher was able to mobilize six second-level spiritual planters to come to Sanchuan Plain."

Zhu Qian told what happened, but Meng Zhou felt the traces of the game.

The gap in demand for second-level spiritual planters in Sanchuanyuan is something that President Pan must solve.

At first, he wanted to get more spiritual planters through Zhu Qian's personal relationship with her teacher.

This was directly rejected by her teacher, and the reason was clearly laid out in front of him.

The underlying intention is that if you can't solve these problems for me, even if you open your mouth to me personally, I will not agree.

If you want to recruit people from me, you must first solve my problem.

Meng Zhou didn't know what kind of price President Pan paid for putting this issue in front of the Professionals Association. It must be quite high.

And if the Professionals Association wants to persuade Zhu Qian's teacher to arrange for more spiritual planters to come over, it also needs to pay something.

This involves not only actual interests, but also changes in the voice and status of different professional branches within the professional association.

Looking at it from another angle, among the professional associations, the Alchemist Branch, the Weapon Refiner Branch, the Talisman Maker Branch, and the Formation Master Branch have the highest status and the most say.

They have one thing in common - they all consume resources.

Only with resources can they have status. If they don't have resources, they are nothing. The so-called clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Now, with the general trend of Qingxuan Territory changing, the importance of resources is increasing at a visible speed.

The Sanchuan Plain, which can produce resources stably and on a large scale, cannot be ignored by them.

Within the association, the spiritual planters group, which has a lower voice, is a rare occupational type that does not consume resources, but produces resources.

Resource areas like Sanchuan Plateau are at risk of becoming immobile without them.

Thinking about it this way, the relationship between several parties is a bit like a stick, a tiger, and a chicken, one defeats the other, and is circularly dependent.

Meng Zhou also inexplicably became more interested in Zhu Qian's teacher.

She didn't seem to have done anything special, she just rejected her disciple's private request. But after she manipulated it so skillfully, the result was that "everyone was happy".

The key needs of all parties have been met.

After this incident, it is conceivable that the status and voice of the spiritual planter group in the professional association have changed subtly.

…

The two chatted casually for a while. At a certain moment, Zhu Qian suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, are you now a second-level spiritual planter?"

Meng Yiyi was stunned, and then asked: "Why do you say that?"

Zhu Qian said: "Fellow Daoist Luo and I have a division of labor. I am responsible for the spiritual fields in your area.

And before Fellow Daoist Luo came over, I was responsible for all the spiritual fields of all the landowners from outside the village.
