protect our patriarch

Chapter 33 The Turning Point of Destiny
……

Wang Shouzhe was in a cold sweat. He thought of those hungry civilians, what would they do in order to survive when they could not buy food with dry money?Selling sons and daughters?Selling a house?
"This means that the more food the family holds this time, the more they will be able to control the situation. They can use other means to make up for the loss and make the family stronger." Qian Xue'an is indeed an excellent businessman. In a few words, the follow-up of this disaster will be explained clearly.

"Will Dagan's official residence and Zifu academy transport food from other states and counties?" After all, Wang Shouzhe was someone from the earth who came through, or he couldn't bear to see civilians suffering.

"Yes. But the food needs to go to various counties to raise, transport and sell it at a fair price." Qian Xue'an said sternly, "Actually, from today, the Zifu Academy and the government have started disaster relief, but they want to do so within a short period of time. It is almost impossible to rescue the entire Longzuo County. Especially our Changningwei is located in a remote area..."

Seeing Wang Shouzhe frowning, he persuaded him, "Brother, I know you have a good heart, but I can't bear to see this scene. But we have thin arms and thin legs, and we can take care of ourselves at this juncture. Not bad."

"Brother Qian is right, I'm being a bit hypocritical." Naturally, Wang Shouzhe knew this, and said with relief, "Then according to what my brother meant, I should ask the firm to pay me three times the contract price?"

"Brother, you have to understand. Even if the indemnity is tripled, it would be a breach of contract by Qian's firm. If it is not necessary, the firm is absolutely reluctant to ruin the reputation of the breach." Qian Xue'an blinked and said, "I will give you a number, one bite. Only after insisting on [-] dry gold and food worth [-] dry gold can cancel the contract."

"What?"

Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched, Qian Xue'an was more ruthless than him.Under his initial estimation, the other party would be satisfied if he could reclaim the contract at twice the price.

This price has exceeded three times the indemnity, and the food with [-] dry gold is more valuable.

"Anyway, you have already offended the current shopkeeper of Qian's firm, so you might as well just step on the line and offend a little harder." Qian Xue'an chuckled, "Furthermore, even at this price, the Qian's will not lose money. Can make a fortune.”

This Qian Xue'an made a lot of sense, but is it really good to kill his family like this?
As if to see through Wang Shouzhe's thoughts, Qian Xue'an explained seriously: "First, the Qian family is too big, and the mere [-] to [-] yuan indemnity is a drop in the bucket. Second, I'm just a son of a bitch, without you Helping me in this life will be difficult to climb up, even if it is to give you a little kindness. Third, I very much hope that you can become stronger, Shouzhe brother, and the stronger you are, the more beneficial to the covenant. "

"Okay, let's do it then." Wang Shouzhe could not tolerate such a huge benefit.The Wang family is too poor now. If there is such a huge capital injection, it will be an opportunity to rise.

"If that's the case, then let Qian run this matter for my brother." Qian Xue'an seemed to have made up his mind, "When I reported the report to the shopkeeper, I would increase the price by another [-]%, and then negotiate the price to give him some comfort. , Brother Shouzhe also needs to swear not to publicize it, Qian's firm can't afford to lose this person."

Of course, I won't promote it. It's the best choice to make a fortune in silence.

Wang Shouzhe got up and cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then there will be Brother Lao. Another condition needs to be added. The insecticides cannot be sold to the two families of Ping'an Zhao and Ping'an Liu." For Wang Shouzhe, it is a good thing to grow himself. , but at the same time can weaken the enemy, that is the best.

"Even if I don't mention this condition, I will consider it." Qian Xue'an replied with a smile, "What's more, in this disaster, there are many porridges and few monks. It's hard to win the share of the insecticide powder. Brother, congratulations!"

In the eyes of Ping An Wang, both Liu and Zhao are very difficult and powerful.But in the eyes of Qian's firm, they were just two ordinary small families.

"Happy together."

Both of them laughed and the discussion was settled.

Immediately, Qian Xue'an slammed the cup to the ground and roared away: "Wang Shouzhe, you are too much, do you really think our Qian's firm is vegetarian? You wait for me..."

Afterwards, he strode away angrily with the two guards who were silent outside the door.

Wang Shouzhe was also quite satisfied with Qian Xue'an's reaction and methods. It seemed that this ally did not make the wrong choice.

At this moment, the second brother Wang Shouyi walked in worriedly: "Shouzhe, the manager of the money has come to you several times in the past two days. Could it be that something happened?"

Today's Wang family can't stand the storm.

"Second brother, don't worry, it's a good thing for the family." Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, and then changed the subject, "By the way, how's the research on live fish equipment in the past two days?"

As soon as he mentioned this issue, Wang Shouyi immediately became energetic: "Don't say, Shouzhe, your idea is really unique and wonderful, just spraying to increase vitality, pumping water to increase gas and other means are enough to change the storage and transportation of aquatic products. The industry has been completed, and my initial attempt is very good, and the next step is to transform the carriage and bucket, and the rearing pond in the store."

"The second brother, you must hurry up and build more breeding ponds in this backyard." Wang Shouzhe smiled, "Otherwise, the sixth uncle will definitely come and beat you."

"Yes, there have been more and more live fish on Uncle Six these days..." Wang Shouyi cupped his hands and said, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry." After that, Wang Shouyi ran out in a hurry.

Hehe, Wang Shouyi's initiative is getting stronger and stronger, which is a good thing.It is no wonder that the momentum of the family improves, which will stimulate the morale of the clan.

Wang Shouzhe attaches great importance to the fishing brigade and fish stalls.Originally, when these two places were added together, the annual net profit was only four or five hundred dry gold.But after some suggestions and adjustments from him, it was easy to achieve a net profit of over a thousand.

He is even confident that by next year, the fishing brigade and fish stalls will exceed the combined profits of the three farms.

Seizing the opportunity to hype the insecticide and make a lot of money is certainly something to be happy about.However, the development of the family industry is the foundation of a family's real strength.

In addition, the [-] dry-gold savings mentioned by Qian Xue'an also gave Wang Shouzhe a little headache.It is right to grasp the grain in the disaster year, that is to grasp the first opportunity.

But what is the concept of three thousand dry gold for food storage?Calculated according to the current grain price, there are about 2 to [-] dan, which is enough to feed [-] people for a year!
You must know that the total population of the entire Ping'an Town is less than [-].

Transporting and hoarding such huge quantities of food alone is a big problem.Among the major farms of the Ping An Wang family, there are naturally granaries.However, those granaries have stocked up some old grains from last year, and with the reserved space for this time, they are already seven to eighty-eight.

But it's all people's ideas.

When Zhou Xuan's ancestors built the main house, he considered the future development of the family. There are [-] courtyards for important clansmen alone, and the other houses add up to no less than hundreds.

Most of them are empty, and it is easy to pack up and store up tens of thousands of bales of grain.In a disaster year, the safest place is the main house of the aristocratic family.

The main house of every noble family is built in a place where the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense force is the strongest, and the food is placed there to make people feel at ease.

In addition, it was mentioned earlier that the main residence of Wang's family was built by the mountains and rivers.

The mountain is naturally a branch of Liuping Mountain. Next to the water is a small lake called Zhuwei Lake. This lake was named by the ancestor Zhou Xuan himself. .

Zhuwei Lake is not very big, covering an area of ​​only ten thousand mu of water, but it is the natural barrier and back garden of Wang's main house.

The most important thing is that she also has a river that was originally natural and then artificially repaired. The river branches for a few miles, which can lead to the other two farms except the silkworm village.

Among them, the main river of Fenggu Farm is connected with Zhuwei Lake in a meandering way, with a total distance of about 20 miles.

The upstream of Fenggu Farm is the tributary gate repaired by Zhou Xuan's ancestor, named Fenggu Gate.This lock is a water conservancy facility and is mainly used to adjust the water level of the inland river, but because it adopts the winch-type single lock mode, there is no way for ships to pass.

But this doesn't matter too much. In order to keep the flow inside and outside the Fenggu Gate, regular dredging and maintenance are required, so the water level is very deep...

Wang Shouzhe quickly straightened his thoughts, and immediately, after writing two letters, he called Wang Zhong and Wang Yong in.

"The head of the family." The morale of the two family generals is good, and they are obviously optimistic about the future development of the family.

Wang Shouzhe handed the letter to Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, two generals, and instructed: "After you send the letter, you don't need to come back for the time being, stay there to help."

After waiting for the commander to leave, Wang Shouzhe drank tea slowly by himself, his eyes surging, and his heart was not at peace. If everything went well, this insect disaster would be a turning point in Wang's decline and fate.
