Relying on Huo Ling himself and the group to develop this territory is of course the most profitable, but it will take a long time.

The territory currently ruled by Huo Ling alone will take Huo Ling at least ten years to develop, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Huo Ling.

Joint development and attracting the intervention of other family capitals are the best options for Huo Ling at present.

It can quickly gather funds, and there will be dividends in the future.

Although this operation will abandon some long-term benefits.

But nothing can be perfect. If you want to develop quickly, this is an unavoidable point.

And Huo Ling also needs to win over more allies. If a battle breaks out in a huge orc empire, Huo Ling alone cannot resist it.

Even if it can be resisted, the loss will not be low.

Huo Ling pointed to the hillside and said, "This mountain has a very suitable geographical environment. I plan to build a permanent fortress here."

"This fortress will exist entirely as a military fortress. In the future, it will be an important node for our defense against the Orc Empire. The subsequent defense line will also be built based on this fortress."

"You can take a look at the design of this fortress. My intention is to build a fortress that can accommodate at least ten combat divisions. Even if the Orc Empire really attacks, it will not be easy to take down this fortress!"

In the air, a magic projection of a fortress was released by Huo Ling. This was indeed designed by Huo Ling.

Many investigators looked at the fortress in the air and looked at it carefully. Some even recorded the graphics of the entire fortress.

However, this is just a simple appearance of the fortress. Huo Ling is not worried about the impact of leaking it.

The investigators talked a lot and raised some questions from time to time. Huo Ling also gave answers. The conversation between the two sides was very harmonious.

Bringing these people to investigate this time was also a hook thrown by Huo Ling for these people. He hoped that after they returned, they would quickly inform their families of the intelligence and then invest in Huo Ling.

Huo Ling has already made a move, and it depends on how these families respond.

Can the current territories that can be developed satisfy these nobles and powerful people? Obviously not.

Now most of the magic power in the forest has been absorbed by the plantations built by Huo Ling. These powerful families come in to develop the veins.

Mining is of course profitable, but the mines will be dug up one day. Even if they are lucky and dig up some high-value subsidiary mines, it is just a little more profit.

The land of more than a thousand miles around the Plain City is Huo Ling's back garden, which he regards as his own, and will not be handed over to other nobles for development.

These powerful nobles want to get a share of Huo Ling's territory, so they can only continue to develop to the north, but they will encounter the Orc Empire to the north.

Around Huo Ling's territory, there is the Orc Empire to the north and an endless swamp to the south. Not only are the resources scarce, but infrastructure cannot be built, and the air is also toxic.

This is not conducive to the development of the territory, so Huo Ling simply abandoned this useless piece of land in the south.

At present, the mineral veins that Huo Ling has released are like fishing bait, letting these powerful families know that Huo Ling is willing to cooperate and willing to give up his interests.

But if they want to make more money, they can only continue to expand to the north, and then it will be time for them to invest in Huo Ling.

Huo Ling returned to Plain City with the inspection team. After resting, these people will start the business of this time and auction the mineral veins.

...

"This is a medium-sized blue magic stone vein. According to the current reserves, it will take at least 3,000 workers to dig for several years. The auction will start now, with a starting price of 5 million magic stones! Each bid must not be less than 200,000 magic stones."

An auctioneer pointed to the information projection of a mineral vein in the air in front of the auction table and introduced it.

Green magic stone is a kind of silver-grade material. The value of a medium-sized mineral vein can dig out materials worth at least 40 to 50 million magic stones.

"Eight million magic stones!" A family took the lead in raising the bid.

"Eight and a half million!"

"Ten million!" Another family seemed determined to get this mineral vein.

"Twelve million!"

"Fifteen million!"

The auction had just begun, and the competition among these powerful families was already very fierce.

"Fifteen million! The first time"

…

"Fifteen million magic stones, the third time! Deal!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, the competition for this mineral vein also came to an end.

Currently, Huo Ling is auctioning the property rights of the mineral vein. After the mineral vein is excavated, the land will still belong to Pingyuan City.

And the auction gainsThe family of this vein also needs to pay 30% of the materials as tax in the profit from mining.

Is this condition harsh? Actually, it is not. You Taining's New South City also operates in this way.

The family that bought this vein needs to mobilize manpower and material resources to mine, and then can only earn 70% of the materials. After deducting the labor cost and the cost of purchasing the mining rights of this vein, how much profit can be harvested in the end?

This family spent several years to mine this vein, and the net profit in the end was actually about 30%.

After the mining, the total value of this vein is only about 50 million magic stones, and this family can earn about 15 million magic stones.

The proportion of net profit may not be high in this way, but this is just one vein. This time Huo Ling took out more than 100 veins of various sizes.

There are only more than 20 nobles and powerful people who participated in the auction. These are the families that have given Huo Ling a wife. There are more families in Tiannan Province who did not participate.

Thirty percent profit is a very high return rate for these big families. The most important thing is that this investment is a sure win.

The resources and magic stones accumulated by these big families for dozens or hundreds of years are piled up at home. Why not invest them to make money?

The larger the funds, the more difficult it is to get a higher rate of return. This family can earn about 30% from this green magic stone vein.

But if they change to a larger vein, they may not be able to earn so much. The output value of a large vein is at least equal to several hundred million magic stones.

Even if there is only a 10% profit, it is tens of millions, which is a profit that big families cannot refuse.

Moreover, Huo Ling has cleared all the sources of danger in the territory. These mining families do not even need to prepare guards for mining.
