Chapter 272 Prosperity!more and more tribes

……

Ping An Town.

In April, it was cloudy and rainy.

Since the Wang family ruled Ping'an Town, they have continuously increased their development efforts.

In today's Ping'an Town, a lot of land that was not suitable for farming has been transformed into land after dug or filled, little by little, into good fields.

Around these fertile fields, one farm after another was also built.

Under Wang's unified planning, old river channels were repaired and dredged, and new river channels were excavated. Today, the entire water channel in Ping'an Town has taken on a new look.

The entire interior of Ping'an Town is densely covered with water networks, large and small rivers criss-cross, and waterways extend in all directions. Flood control gates have been specially built at key points of the waterways to adjust the water level at critical moments.

Every farm and village is also connected by rivers and has its own wharf, which not only solves the irrigation problem, but also saves transportation capacity.After all, under the existing conditions, the transportation capacity of ships far exceeds that of land-based animal-drawn vehicles.

Under the infestation of continuous rain, ripples appeared on the criss-crossing river.Looking down from the sky, the entire Ping'an Town seems to be soaked in water vapor, adding a bit of charm and aura.

And in this densely intertwined water network, you can clearly see that there are gray and white spacious roads criss-crossing across the entire Pingan Town like a spider web.

This is the characteristic of the Wang family - "cement road".

Even in this rainy season, the cement road is still clean without any muddy feeling.

This was changed to 30 or [-] years ago, there was absolutely no such weather in Pingan Town.At that time, there were few roads in Pingan Town, and most of them were rammed earth roads. During the rainy season, the ground was covered with mud. Traveling by horse-drawn carriage or on foot would be very embarrassing.

It is even normal for a carriage with a heavy load and a heavy body to have its wheels sink into the mud.

Only in the town, or near the gate of the aristocratic family, will it be cleaner.Some bluestones will be paved on the roads in these places to harden the road surface and activity areas.

However, bluestone pavements are quite expensive to lay and very inefficient to lay.Every piece of bluestone requires a lot of effort by the stonemason to cut and chisel, and some of the exquisite ones will be engraved with names and patterns.

With such a construction cost, it is okay to pave the inside and outside of the house, but to pave the entire town with bluestone pavement is completely idiotic, and Wang's financial resources will feel that it cannot bear it.

It is relatively simple to build "cement" roads/cement roads. "Cement" is self-produced, the cost is relatively low, and the molding speed is extremely fast.Most importantly, it is very clean and tidy, which is very suitable for the current situation of Ping'an Town.

now.

On a certain wide and straight gray-white cement road that runs through Ping'an Town, a low-key and simple carriage is slowly passing through the curtain of rain.

Amidst the sound of "tapping and kicking" horseshoes, Wang Shouzhe looked through the glass window of the carriage, looking at the drainage ditches on both sides of the cement road and the large tracts of farmland.

This season is the season when the wheat is soaring. Looking around, the surrounding farmland is like a green ocean, endless.

Abundant rain, good drainage, and timely measures to prevent diseases and insects, no surprises, this year will be another bumper harvest of wheat.

Although the Changning Wang family has many industries, the most important of all industries is the farmland.What's more, in Wang's farmland, all the wheat or rice seeds are produced, and the income far exceeds that of ordinary grain.

Changningwei, as well as some aristocratic families in the surrounding Acropolis, have gradually begun to accept the grain seeds provided by the Wang family.Although the price of Geinwang's grain seeds is a bit expensive, they have excellent properties, and they have huge advantages in terms of disease resistance and lodging resistance, as well as yield.

Using Wang's grain cultivation will be more stable and the yield will be much higher.The overall income will be [-]% to [-]% higher than before.You know, this extra income is equal to pure profit.

This part of the net profit is extremely important to those eighth- and ninth-rank families.This can allow them to accumulate enough resources for the replacement of the spirit platform faster, or continue to expand the industry, or relax the training strategy for other outstanding clansmen, and have the opportunity to cultivate a second spirit platform, or even a third spirit platform.

Even, there are quite a few ninth-rank families who have begun to think of ways to please and attach themselves to the Wang family.They are willing to take out their fertile fields and spiritual fields to cultivate grain for the Wang family.The Wang family will purchase these grains and sell them in a unified manner.

In return, those ninth-rank families can get higher income every year, the family will be more prosperous financially, and there will be more opportunities for the family to grow and develop.

That's why.

Driven by the Wang family, many aristocratic families in Changningwei are gradually embarking on the road of "common prosperity".

The aristocratic family pursues profit, once tasted the sweetness, it is difficult to go back to the past.They will be firmly bound around the Wang family and consciously safeguard their common interests.

Apart from a few of the dozens of aristocratic families in Changningwei, their development speed is gradually accelerating.And the entire area of ​​Changningwei will become stronger and stronger accordingly.

Traveling through so far, Wang Shouzhe has spent more than twenty years in this family.

Looking back on all the things he has come along the way, he is also quite emotional.Although there are still many shortcomings, he still leads the people to live their lives after all.

At least the younger siblings and the clansmen don't have to make any fuss about a little bit of spiritual food and cultivation pills, which affects the "early development" and future potential.

Of course, for the construction of Ping'an Town, this is only the beginning.

For example, in Wang Shouzhe's opinion, asphalt and asphalt roads would be better.A "flexible" road surface is more conducive to maintenance and repair, while once the cement road surface is damaged, it is too troublesome to maintain.

However, so far, he has not found natural asphalt mines, nor has he found oil, so he cannot refine asphalt, so this idea can only be put aside for the time being.

While thinking about it, the carriage was slowly passing by rivers and arch bridges.

The reason why the original river channel formed a meandering shape is because the river bank was washed by water to form a landslide, and as a result, the more it washed away, the more it collapsed.At the same time, when the water flow passes through the bend, it will generate impact pressure on the diagonally opposite river bank. Over time, the river channel will become crooked, like an earthworm.

A similar shape is actually not conducive to the overall planning, and it is easy to cause adverse situations such as river diversions, and the speed of shipping cannot be increased.

Therefore, over the years, in addition to dredging the river, the Wang family has also continuously built concrete revetments to consolidate the embankment.In particular, some newly opened river courses are horizontal and vertical, and the two sides of the river are solid, which is convenient for control and long-term maintenance.

From this, it can be seen how much effort and money the Wang family has spent on the management of Ping'an Town.

For a long time, Wang Shouzhe has regarded Ping'an Town as his territory, and he is planning to build it into a foundation for thousands of years.

On the earth, people struggle all their lives, no matter how much money they earn, they will live until they are eight or ninety years old. There are very few centenarians.

In this basalt world, the lifespan of human beings is much longer.

Regardless of the distance, Wang Shouzhe already has two hundred lifespans in his current Lingtai realm.As for him in the future, at least the realm of heaven and man is in place, and Zifu can also be expected.Then he can live to be four hundred years old, or even eight hundred years old!
Therefore, it is particularly important to create a home that belongs to one's own long-term life.

……

The carriage slowly passed through the commercial area beside Zhuwei Mansion, then went to the right side of Zhuwei Lake, and went straight to Wang's main residence along the avenue beside Zhuwei Lake.When we got here, we started to be heavily guarded.

The first thing is to pass the checkpoint. If there is no Wang's invitation or application for visiting, you will not be able to pass the checkpoint.Even if they pass the checkpoint by luck, there will be generals from the Wang family leading clan soldiers to patrol and interrogate along the way.

Of course, this level of patrol is also for those below the level of anti-one and anti-lingtai.If there is really any evil in the Lingtai Realm, there are some ways to invade the vicinity of Wang's main house.

It's just that trespassing on Wang's main house like this, most likely won't make it to the Lingtai Realm.After all, if there are no special matters, there will always be one of Patriarch Longyan and Liu Ruolan guarding the house.

To put it bluntly, it was a cultivator at the Lingtai Realm, even if a cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm trespassed with hostility, he was determined to have nothing good to eat.

……

On the square outside Wang's main residence.

A fast white horse approached from a distance, and the knight was a handsome young man in a well-dressed suit, with a bow and a sword on his waist.A falcon-like bird circled and followed in the air.

At the gate of the main house, the young knight got off his horse, and after a roar, the falcon hovering in the air fell like a meteor, and firmly stepped on the boy's arm.

"Sixth young master, you are back." A general who was on duty to guard the gate immediately greeted him, and after asking the soldiers to take care of the horse, he said with a smile, "I heard that you are taking advantage of the ethnology vacation this time. I went to Yingxiu Lu’s to visit relatives, and I went to Donghaiwei to experience some experience, I wonder if there will be any gains?”

This young man looks quite heroic, but because of his young age, the childishness on his face has not faded yet.This son is the sixth Wang Zongcai of the eighth generation of the Wang clan, and the eldest son of the fourth Wang Shounuo of the Shouzi generation.

Although he is only 15 years old, his cultivation is quite impressive and he has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm.And because the Wang family is strict with his children, he is also quite attentive in the practice of Xuanwu combat skills and body skills.

"Brother Wang Yang, it turns out that you are on duty today." Wang Zong didn't take it easy and returned the gift.The family general Wang Yang was a few years older than him, but he was born in a collateral line of the Wang family.

Although the Xuanwu bloodline of the Wang family has faded, the probability of producing talents is still much higher than that of ordinary commoners.What's more, now that the Wang family's conditions are better, even the treatment of the Wang family's collaterals has become very good.

In the past, if some collateral clansmen whose blood aptitude was not "low-grade Ding" were only a small step short, the main line of the Wang family would give him a third-grade "Enlightenment Pill" to help him rise from the "waste product qualification" to a high level. Improve your qualifications to reach the lower grade D or lower grade C.

In this way, he is qualified to become a Xuanwu monk and change his own destiny.

Earlier, Wang's "Enlightenment Pill" was still entrusted to the old alchemist of Xu's Danfang in Changning to refine it.Now that Wang Shouye has become a mature alchemist, he took on the responsibility of refining Qiling Pill for his family.

The main ingredient of Qiling Pill is "Amethyst Royal Honey". Wang Luojing is good at raising Amethyst spirit bees.Now the amethyst spirit bee she mainly feeds has stepped into the third level of the whole.

Relying on the high-quality spiritual flowers and exotic plants of the Zifu Academy, the annual output of Amethyst Royal Honey is not low.All the spiritual honey it produced was donated to the family to refine Qiling Pills.

If it was an ordinary disciple who used the spiritual flowers of the Zifu Academy to collect honey, but kept giving it to the family, he might be gossiped about.However, Wang Luojing is well-known among the younger generation of Zifu Academy.Although she doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but whoever provokes her holds a grudge very much, and the other party will often suffer a big loss.

Moreover, Wang Luojing is backed by Mrs. Huandie, who has an eccentric temper, so there are not many people who are not open-eyed to talk about this matter.There were a few people who didn't open their eyes before. Naturally, they were "friendly" repeatedly by Wang Luojing. It was only after crying and repenting that Wang Luojing reluctantly "forgave" him.

therefore.

Now Wang's "Enlightenment Pill" is already a family specialty.

It's just that Qiling Pill, a kind of elixir, has a greater effect on "waste product aptitude", but it has little room for improvement for people with high blood aptitude.Wang Shouzhe also took one in the past, and felt that the effect was really small.

Therefore, most families have no need for Qi Ling Pill.Only some direct veins or direct veins who accidentally gave birth to "waste qualifications" will be useful.

But for the Wang family who is short of manpower everywhere, Qiling Pill is a rare treasure.You can accumulate family generals as quickly as possible, and accumulate the foundation of the entire Wang family.

And low-rank B-, C-, and D-rank Zhimai clansmen can also use one or two Qiling Pills to improve their aptitude.Only when the second tablet is taken, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Wang Zongcai chatted with Wang Yang casually: "Brother Wang Yang, I just took a letter delivery mission by the way to accumulate some meager contribution points. Experience and the like can increase a lot of knowledge. It's just that the families of Donghaiwei are too much. Enthusiasm, I'm a bit overwhelmed."

Wang Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Donghaiwei is a rich place, and many eighth and ninth rank families have a lot of fertile land. If you have the opportunity to grow grain for our Wang family, you can earn a lot of money. Besides, you are a dignified man The sixth young master of the Wang family, can you not be enthusiastic when you go to their territory?"

"Sixth Young Master, when you went over this time, many girls fell in love with you, right?"

Wang Zongcai had a thin skin after all, and his face turned red all of a sudden.It's not just that many girls are in love with him, he seems to have escaped back.There were even two girls from the direct line of the ninth-rank family who expressed their intentions to him clearly.

Why are the girls so enthusiastic these days?
While the two were talking, several children of different sizes ran out of the main house.It was Wang Zongxu, the seventh generation of Zongzi, Wang Shining, the boss of the ninth generation, and Wang Yingxue, the eldest daughter of Ying.

Among them, Wang Zongxu, the seventh old man, is nine years old and is the eldest son of Wang Shouyong.And Wang Shining is Zongcai's eldest brother, the eldest son of Wang Zongwei, who is now 12 years old.Wang Yingxue is also Wang Zongwei's eldest daughter, but she is only eight years old.

When several people saw Wang Zongcai, they all gathered around him.

"Sixth Brother/Sixth Uncle!" They said in a hurry, "I heard that you went out to do a mission, did you bring us a gift?"

"Brother Six, your falcon is so beautiful, did you buy it at Donghaiwei?"

In the eyes of some elders, Wang Zongcai is naturally still a junior boy.But in the eyes of younger brothers, nephews and nieces, he is a big brother.

"Don't touch my spirit falcon, it's a first-order spirit bird that my grandfather gave me when I went to Yingxiu Lu's family to visit." Wang Zongcai said hastily, "Of course I have a gift, and everyone below the family has it."

Then he hurriedly took out some Donghaiwei special gifts from the bag on the horse.Although they are not very valuable things, they also reflect Wang Zongcai's intentions.

A few little boys took the presents contentedly, and then surrounded Wang Zong to ask questions.They are still young, and the family spirit system does not allow them to go out.

Except for the 12-year-old royal family Ning who can take on some big tasks, the rest can at most take advantage of the leisure time of ethnology to take on some small errand tasks within the family.

Just as Wang Zongcai was telling them some anecdotes with a smile while walking home.An unremarkable carriage drove over and stopped at the door.Then, a mature, steady, and extraordinary "young man" got off the carriage.

As soon as the little boys saw him, their smiles disappeared immediately, and they hurriedly shouted stiffly: "Fourth Uncle/Fourth Grandpa..."

The "young man" smiled kindly: "You guys are all here, go and have a meal together in my yard. Maybe I haven't seen you for a long time, just to test your homework."

What?
Wang Zongcai, Wang Zongxu, Wang Shining, Wang Yingxue and others all lost face.This is about to cry...

Their lives are too bitter.

"Yes, Fourth Uncle/Fourth Grandpa!"
