protect our patriarch

Chapter 335 Tragedy!Zuo Qiu's foundation was dug
……

"It's the grain seed of the Changning Wang family!"

After all, Zuoqiu Guanyu was a cultivator in the realm of heaven and man, and his memory and reaction ability far surpassed that of ordinary people. After a moment of stupefaction, he remembered the "Wang's No. 19" rice seeds and "Wang's No. 23" wheat seeds.

Although these kinds of wheat varieties do not have the title of "Wang Family", judging from the naming rules, most of them are the grain varieties of Changning Wang Family.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, someone pretends to be Wang's Grain Seed.Judging by the current form, the probability of the latter possibility is very low.

"Okay! Changning Wang Clan, how courageous!" Zuoqiu Guanyu's anger surged in an instant, "How dare you become an enemy of my Zuoqiu Clan in terms of grain seeds, trying to shake the foundation of my Zuoqiu Clan!"

He really wanted to ask the ancestor to come out of the mountain immediately, and go there to destroy the Wang family.

But this idea was rejected in an instant.Now the fierce business battle between Qingfeng Commercial Bank and Shouda Commercial Bank has caused countless people to watch the battle.If the Zuoqiu family uses force to deal with the Wang family, it may cause huge troubles.

"What's the price of Wang's wheat seeds?" Zuoqiu Guanyu's face was gloomy.

Lao An's complexion was also bad, and he kept wiping his sweat and said, "Bi, it's [-]% lower than our previous price."

"What?" Zuoqiu Guanyu laughed angrily, "No wonder our wheat seeds can't be sold... Is this going to be a price war with us on grain seeds? It's a good way~ okay, pass on the order, and we will also lower the price, The grain seeds will be sold at a [-]% discount. They will also be sold at a discount along with the five-spice rice seeds.”

Such a price reduction has made the gross profit of [Jade Finger Wheat] extremely low.But now Yuzhi wheat cannot be sold, and there will be nowhere to store a large amount of spiced rice.

You must know that the preservation of grain seeds has high requirements for ventilation, heat preservation, and drying, so special warehouses need to be built.If it is not preserved properly, the quality of the grain seeds will be greatly reduced, and even they will not be able to germinate. At that time, the loss will be even greater.

The Zuoqiu family is worthy of being a fourth-rank family. The family has a lot of talents, a lot of people, and a very strong execution ability. They quickly carried out Zuoqiu Guanyu's orders.

A [-]% price cut is indeed effective.

As soon as the news came out, many aristocratic families who were still on the sidelines immediately bought a batch.Even, many aristocratic families who have already bought Wang's grain seeds are also eager to buy some.

After all, this price is too affordable, and it is not worth taking advantage of it.

But then, Wang's blows followed one after another.Carry out the activity of old customers bringing new customers, old customers can get rebates, and new customers can get greater discounts.

This event is out.

Yuzhi wheat seeds and rice seeds are again unsalable.Now, even the [-]% price cannot be sold.

Zuoqiu Guanyu could tell that the Wang family was determined to dig Zuoqiu's foundation.

If it was just a one-year loss, the Zuoqiu family would certainly be able to bear it, but year after year, no matter how rich the Zuoqiu family's wealth would be, it would gradually be exhausted.

What is even more frightening is that once the foundation of the family is shaken, if there are no other variables, the family will inevitably decline rapidly.

The Zuoqiu Clan has six ancestors of the Zifu, hundreds of elders in the Heavenly Human Realm, and countless main force in the Spiritual Stage Realm.

When the Zuoqiu Clan had a stable source of income, this was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying and daunting force.But once the foundation is gone, this is an extremely huge burden, and the annual consumption is an astronomical figure.

Zuoqiu Guanyu was no longer able to solve this matter, he had no choice but to visit his ancestors to seek a solution.

After more than a month, the weather is getting colder.

All the winter wheat that should be planted has been planted.Zuoqiu's Jade Finger Wheat Seeds could not be sold at all, and in the end there was no other way but to move the Wheat Seeds out of the warehouse, to make room for the Rice Seeds first.

As for those wheat seeds that have been removed from the warehouse, they cannot be sold as wheat seeds, so they can only be sold as ordinary wheat or ground into wheat flour for sale.Because it is old grain, the price is not even as high as that of the current season.

In this wave of confrontation, the Zuoqiu family was almost completely defeated, and the loss was incalculable.

……

Longzuo County City, in the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion.

At this time, the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom, colorful and colorful. In terms of color, they are not inferior to the spring and summer when a hundred flowers are blooming.

In the gazebo, Taishi Ankang and Wang Shouzhe drank together at the table, while Qian Xuehan, the head of the Qian family, accompanied him.

Compared with the last time, the expressions of Taishi Ankang and Qian Xuehan this time are relaxed and rosy, obviously in a very good mood.

"Shouzhe's tactic is ruthless and hot, and it hits Zuoqiu's weakness." Taishi Ankang said while drinking tea, "I'm afraid they will come to the door soon."

"It's just some small tricks." Wang Shouzhe looked indifferent, but he didn't feel that he was so great. "As the saying goes, you need to be hard on your own. The development of the family still needs to be based on self-improvement. These small tricks are nothing but Auxiliary."

He knew in his heart that in this world, after all, strength was the most important thing.

This time, the reason why the Wang family was able to leverage the Zuoqiu family's foundation with grain seeds was that on the one hand, it was because of his advance layout, and the Wang family's grain seeds were indeed better than the Zuoqiu family's, which caught the Zuoqiu family by surprise.

On the other hand, it was also because he tied the Qian family and Taishi Ankang to the warship, and the Wang family also had a great genius in the academy, so the Zuoqiu family was afraid to use force directly, so they could only compete by commercial means.

Otherwise, no matter how clever he is, the Zuoqiu clan only needs to send two Zifu realm powerhouses to kill him secretly, and the Wang clan will be finished.

Of course, this is also because the Zuoqiu family has not been completely cornered.It's hard to say whether the Zuoqiu family will care about these things when the dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall.

"Well said, Shou Zhe really deserves to be Master Changchun's disciple." Taishi Ankang laughed, "However, even if it's a small trick, it's amazing enough to be able to play it to such an extent."

Qian Xuehan made another cup of tea for the two of them, and couldn't help being filled with emotion when he heard the words: "No matter what, it's thanks to Patriarch Shouzhe that we were able to win back. Opportunity, the ability to strategize, is really amazing."

Wang Shouzhe shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

In fact, how can there be any strategizing, anticipating the enemy's first opportunity?Just be cautious, be cautious, be more cautious.

It is not easy for the Wang family to develop to the present. There are so many clan members in the clan, and many of them have grown up from babbling to being able to take charge of themselves under his nose.

What he carries on his shoulders is the expectation of countless clansmen, their future.

He couldn't afford to lose, and he didn't dare to lose.

"By the way~ Cao's side, I heard that the investigator has returned to Beijing?" Wang Shouzhe took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Taishi Ankang.

"Hmm." Taishi Ankang nodded, "Ms. Cao pushed a few elders from the Celestial Realm to come out, put all the blame on them, and took himself out. The investigator has brought those Celestial Realm elders Elder Jing has returned to Beijing, and when the verdict comes down, he may be dispatched to a foreign battlefield."

Since there is no direct evidence, it is impossible to prove that Cao's collusion with pirates is related to the direct lineage.Cao's resolutely abandoned the pawn to save the car, and the investigator could only accept this result.

This can be regarded as the normal operation of the family.

However, in this way, the Cao family can be regarded as hurt.After all, Cao's Celestial Realm powerhouses were no more than a dozen in total, but this time they lost a quarter, and their strength was greatly weakened.

After Taishi Ankang finished speaking, he added: "In addition, Cao Bangyan was also redeemed by the Cao family."

"?"

Wang Shouzhe looked up at him.

"I didn't intend to release it at first, but they paid a ransom of 600 million to subsidize Longzuo County's losses due to pirates over the years. It's too much~" Taishi Ankang showed a smile that everyone understood.

The Dagan Kingdom is where the royal family and aristocratic families jointly rule the world, and they have their own set of rules.

One of the default unspoken rules is that whenever a descendant of a family commits a crime, as long as it is not a felony such as treason and treason, the family is allowed to spend money to redeem the person.

Of course, it's expensive.

This is somewhat similar to bail, ransom and the like.Of course, if he commits another serious crime or something, there will be no second chance for ransom.Therefore, Wang Shouzhe was not worried about letting the tiger go back to the mountain at all. After this son returned, he would not dare to go out for decades.

600 million dry gold is a huge sum of money even for the Sheriff's Mansion.Since the Cao family was willing to spend a lot of money to redeem people, Taishi Ankang naturally let the people go.

"Tsk~ I'm really willing to spend my money." Qian Xuehan clicked his tongue in amazement, "If it were me, I wouldn't spend this kind of money for someone like Cao Bangyan."

"Don't say that, Cao Bangyan is a proud man anyway." Wang Shouzhe took a sip of tea and said calmly, "And, from the information I have collected, the remaining lifespan of the ancestor of Cao's Zifu should not exceed 200. years."

"Huh? So that's the case, I said~" Qian Xuehan suddenly realized.

If it was for the change of Zifu, then it would be understandable for the Cao family to redeem people with blood.

One must know that Tianjiao is rare, but for a family of Zifu like the Cao family, it is not necessary for Cao Bangyan.

The problem is, for a young man with the aptitude of Tianjiao to grow to the Purple Mansion, it will take 200 years at the fastest, and it may even take 50 years at the slowest.

It is estimated that the Cao family bet all their treasures on Cao Bangyan before, and now it is obviously too late to train the heir of the Zifu from scratch.Cao Youqing, as the arrogance of the Holy Land, is also unable to sit in the family and maintain the rank of the family.

Even if he is reluctant, the Cao family can only bite the bullet and spend huge sums of money to redeem Cao Bangyan.

"Tsk tsk tsk~~ The Cao family has lost a lot." As the patriarch of the aristocratic family, Qian Xuehan is very sensitive to the flow of funds in the family. So, it is necessary to spend a huge amount of money to redeem people, I estimate that the Cao family has almost been wiped out. It is cheaper for the governor, and he earned 600 million for nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Tai Shi Ankang.

The 600 million yuan does not belong to tax revenue, and the sheriff's office can dispose of it by itself.

Tai Shi Ankang laughed.

Knowing Wang Shouzhe's temperament, he took the initiative to say before Wang Shouzhe opened his mouth: "Don't worry, since Shouzhe captured Cao Bangyan, the 600 million county guards will naturally not take it all by themselves. I have already reported to the superiors, among which I will keep the 300 million yuan in the county guard's mansion as a reserve fund for the county guard's mansion. I can't give the other 300 million yuan directly to the Wang family, so it can only be used as a subsidy for the development of Qingluohai."

"It just so happened that Wei Wenxun's settlement of pirates has been very effective recently. In a few years, the pirates will be almost cleared. Shouzhe can develop Qingluohai according to the plan. You can use the money at any time. When the accounts look good, you can use it." correct."

The development of Qingluohai does require a large amount of capital investment. Wang Shouzhe stood up and saluted while feeling that Taishi Ankang had really come to the road: "So, then Shouzhe would like to thank the Lord Magistrate."

"Where is it~ It's because of Shouzhe's honor that our county guard's mansion has been honored."

Tai Shi Ankang smiled and waved his hands.

He just passed through the hands, and he didn't even catch the person. The money can almost be said to be earned for nothing.

In Wang Shouzhe's words, this is "lying down and winning".That's why he looks very pleasing to Wang Shouzhe now.

Several people were talking lively.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as an official of the Sheriff's Mansion walked in from the garden, stood outside the gazebo and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhenghua Patriarch of the Zuoqiu Clan, Patriarch Guanyu, and Qing'an County The county guard Wu Dinghai is out to see him."

Yo ~
Qian Xuehan couldn't help but his eyes brightened: "The governor of the county is really good at predicting things, then the Zuoqiu family really came to the door."

"Hahaha~ They came sooner than I expected. It seems that this time, the Zuoqiu family is really in a hurry." Tai Shi Ankang couldn't help laughing.

The official couldn't figure out Taishi Ankang's attitude for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Then... Lord Magistrate, do you still see me?"

"No see." Sheriff Taishi Ankang waved his hand, "Just say I'm meeting guests and tell them to wait."

He still remembers the "humiliation" he got in Qing'an County~
Now, after finally taking the opportunity to get revenge, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't give them a good time?
As a result, this drying took most of the day.

……

Wu Dinghai, governor of Qing'an County, Zuoqiu Zhenghua, patriarch of the Zifu, and Zuoqiu Guanyu, patriarch of the Zuoqiu family, waited for more than three hours in the parlor of the governor's mansion, but they couldn't wait for anyone.

By the afternoon, Wu Dinghai and Zuoqiu Zhenghua's faces were already ashen.Even Zuoqiu Guanyu, who was a junior, had an extremely ugly expression.

"This Taishi Ankang, he is taking revenge!" Wu Dinghai was so angry that he almost dropped his teacup, "Isn't it just a temporary win? It's not his own ability. What's there for him to do?"

"Old Ancestor..." Zuoqiu Guanyu looked at the face of his Zhenghua Ancestor, and said cautiously, "If this matter gets out today, our Zuoqiu Clan will become a laughing stock."

Zuoqiu Zhenghua thought over and over again, and felt that going on like this was not an option.

He slammed the table and stood up: "Go, go back!"

He still doesn't believe it, the Zuoqiu family is a dignified fourth-rank family, but it can't take care of a seventh-rank Wang family!
With that said, he flicked his sleeves and left the Sheriff's Mansion.

Soon, a group of three left in a flying chariot.

After Taishi Ankang heard the news, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all. He still drank tea and chatted with Wang Shouzhe and Qian Xuehan, and continued to discuss the next development of Qingluohai.

On the other side, after the three of Zuoqiu Zhenghua returned to Qing'an County, they immediately launched their actions.

As a dominant fourth-rank family, the Zuoqiu Clan's connections and influence within Qing'an County are quite strong, and the number of Heavenly Human Realm and Lingtai Realm powerhouses in the clan is astonishingly large.When they are determined to accomplish something, the energy they can burst out is amazing.

It didn't take long for all the checkpoints entering Qing'an County to have an extra layer of sentries, and they began to guard against death, preventing any items that might be Wang's grains from entering.

Although the winter wheat has been planted, it will not be half a year before it is time to raise rice seedlings.As long as Zuoqiu's defense is tight enough, Wang's rice seeds cannot appear in Qing'an County, and the aristocratic families in Qing'an County have no choice but to buy Zuoqiu's five-spice rice seeds.

In order to ensure that the Wang family's grains can be completely blocked, the inspectors sent by the Zuoqiu family tried their best to intercept some disguised grains that were trying to pass the customs.

As a result, Wang's rice seeds did not reach Qing'an County through normal channels.

After Wang Shouzhe heard the news, he didn't panic at all, and let people spread the news without any hassle.

By the way, he also asked Qian Xuehan to write a letter to the person in charge of Qian's transportation team, asking them to rent a warehouse near Qing'an County and store the rice seeds on the spot.

Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, many aristocratic families in Qing'an County couldn't sit still.

Many of them had already ordered rice seeds from the Wang family in advance, and now the rice seeds can't enter Qing'an County, and their money was wasted, let's not talk about it, what to plant this year?
You know, after planting a round of Wang's high-yield wheat, they have all fully experienced the benefits of high-yield grain seeds, which are all real family benefits.

Now let them grow Zuoqiu's crops that are not as good as Wang's, how could they be willing?

There are always too many problems.

Things in this world, as long as they are driven by enough interests, no matter how difficult they are, there is always the possibility of realizing them.

Not long after the news spread, many casual cultivators sensed business opportunities and tried various ways, even crossing mountains and mountains, in order to bypass Zuoqiu's checkpoint and transport rice seeds into Qing'an County.

Nowadays, there is a huge demand for Wang's rice seeds in Qing'an County. Once their rice seeds are shipped in, they will naturally be robbed in minutes.This also allowed these casual cultivators to earn a lot of money.

However, the rice seeds that casual cultivators can bring in are only a small part after all, and most of the aristocratic families still cannot buy rice seeds.

Many aristocratic families were driven into a hurry, and even secretly rented a convoy, and tried to take the convoy to Qian's warehouse to buy grain seeds and transport them back, but they were naturally stopped by Zuoqiu's checkpoint.

After several times of flipping down, those aristocratic families immediately quit.

One must know that the Zuoqiu family in Qing'an County has been dominant for a long time. In recent years, apart from Zuoqiu's fourth-rank family, there is not even a fifth-rank Zifu family in Qing'an County.

It's not that those sixth-rank families are unlucky, there are so many in the family that they can't even cultivate a Tianjiao, but even if they are lucky, they can't afford to cultivate a Tianjiao.

A celestial arrogance, who wants to grow into the purple mansion, consumes a huge amount of resources.

Most of the resources in Qing'an County are occupied by the Zuoqiu family, and their family has raised six purple mansions. Naturally, the resources that the sixth-rank family can have are extremely limited, and they can't afford to raise purple. Government territory.

For so many years, I don't know how many sixth-rank families have been forced to send their sons to the academy.Up to now, there have been only two school masters in the purple mansion, but the rank of the family still cannot be raised.

It can be said that these sixth-rank families in Qing'an County have been dissatisfied with the Zuoqiu family for a long time.

In the past, they didn't dare to confront the Zuoqiu family, but now, seeing the Zuoqiu family being outraged by the public, how could they let go of the opportunity?

At the moment, a family of the sixth grade began to secretly fan the flames, arousing the feelings of the same hatred among many families, coupled with the secret support of the Wang family and the Qian family, soon, the dissatisfaction with the Zuoqiu family in Qing'an County reached its peak .

This situation quickly attracted the attention of the academy.

Seeing that the opportunity was so rare, those two seniors from the sixth-grade family in Qing'an County simply did not do anything, and directly spread the news to Guilong City, the capital of the country.

All of a sudden, this matter was completely troubled.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Zuoqiu family returned to Longcheng in the capital, they helped say a few words at the Xiaochao meeting in time to buy some time for Qing'an County, maybe the Zuoqiu family and Wu Dinghai would welcome the capital directly accountability.

But even so, Wu Dinghai, governor of Qing'an County, and several ancestors of the Zuoqiu family couldn't sit still.

Now the atmosphere in Qing'an County is already very tense. If the situation continues to escalate and the problem cannot be resolved immediately, Wu Dinghai's county guard will end, and the Zuoqiu family will also be condemned by the court.

The Dagan Kingdom is a system of co-governance by the royal family and local families, which means that the local families need to bear part of the responsibility of keeping the country safe and maintaining local stability.

Just like when there was a flood in Longzuo, aristocratic families such as the Wang family helped gather refugees. This is the responsibility of the aristocratic family.Otherwise, why would the imperial court give [-]% of the tax to the local aristocratic families?

If a large-scale group incident occurs within the Zuoqiu clan's sphere of influence, it is definitely a major dereliction of duty by the Zuoqiu clan. If it is light, it will issue a document to hold people accountable, and if it is serious, it may even directly deprive the Zuoqiu clan of their aristocratic rights.

It can be said that in this situation, the Zuoqiu family's attempt to block the Wang family's grain seeds has completely failed.

This once again gave Zuo Qiu a resounding slap in the face, and also cast a thick layer of haze on Qiu's interior.

They have stayed in the position of the fourth-rank family for too long, and they have already gotten used to the mentality of being superior.

They have forgotten that they are not the masters of Qing'an County, but just a part of it.The rest of the aristocratic families, large and small, are not pigs and sheep raised by the Zuoqiu family, they let them get whatever they want.

Once the word "humanity" is violated and the interests of all people are damaged, it is bound to be backlashed.

Nothing to do.

The Zuoqiu family had no choice but to bring Wu Dinghai with them again, and then, relying on certain relations in the capital, they contacted Taishi Ankang, the governor of Longzuo County, hoping to get him to mediate the matter.

From time to time.

Taishi's Ankang spectrum is almost done, and Zuoqiu's relationship with the capital is also very strong.Therefore, under the arrangement of Taishi Ankang and Wu Dinghai, the three patriarchs of the Zuoqiu family, the Wang family, and the Qian family sat down to discuss together. Of course, the discussions were limited to the family head level, and the ancestors did not participate in anything.

This is also Taishi Ankang's defense of Wang Shouzhe. After all, the Changning Wang family is the "seventh-rank family", and there is no Zifu ancestor in the family.

The location chosen for the negotiation was set in the Zifu Palace of the Longzuo Wang Clan.

It was the first time that Zuoqiu Guanyu, Wang Shouzhe, Qian Xuehan and others met until the two parties formally met.

At their level, it can be said that they are all big bosses.In the past, the two sides have fought in seclusion behind the scenes, operating from a distance, and they will not fight head-on at all.

"My humble Zuoqiu Guanyu, I have met Patriarch Xuehan and Patriarch Shouzhe. They are indeed young heroes of the Dagan Kingdom, true dragons among men." Zuoqiu Patriarch Zuoqiu Guanyu took the lead in greeting in a personable manner.

After all, he is the patriarch of a fourth-rank family. His demeanor is impeccable, and he can be called imposing and imposing.

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe and Qian Xuehan returned the salute gracefully, and exchanging a few words with Zuoqiu Guanyu's business hypocritically, as if there had never been any conflict between the two sides.

At this level, it's perfectly normal for you to fight against each other in private.But on the surface, it is meaningless to tear one's skin apart. Unless there is some special strategic purpose, it is also necessary to pretend to meet each other and show off the demeanor of the aristocratic family.

After some hypocrisy.

The two sides sat down to drink tea and chat, Zuoqiu Guanyu bowed his hands to Wang Shouzhe, and said with a wry smile: "Patriarch Shouzhe, I didn't expect you to be a direct disciple of Master Changchun in Longzuo Academy. Proficient. Your family's wheat and rice seeds really amaze me. Awesome~ amazing~"

With the Zuoqiu family's network, as long as they put in the effort, it would be easy to investigate Wang Shouzhe's background.

"Where is it~" Wang Shouzhe smiled modestly, "My level is much lower than that of the master. The wheat seeds and rice seeds were all cultivated unintentionally by luck under the guidance of the master."

call?accidentally?

Regarding this, Zuoqiu Guanyu had 1 unbeliefs in his heart.

He collected some secret information that the Master Changchun had explored the remains of a Shenwu Dynasty more than 100 years ago.

Master Changchun never talked about what he obtained in that ruins, but handled the matter in a low-key manner.But right after that, there was an extra baby girl beside him, who was "Lu Wei", the direct disciple of his great Tianjiao.

Adopting a baby girl casually is a great talent?

This matter has to make people suspect that Master Changchun has gained something in that ruins.Even, he has the ability to cultivate some high-quality grain seeds.

Most of the grain seeds in Wang's hands are also related to the secret of Master Changchun.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe didn't know what Zuoqiu Guanyu was thinking, otherwise, he might not be able to hold back a mouthful of tea.

It has to be said that Zuoqiu's imagination is really too rich... he even calculated the source of the grain seeds so bizarrely, which is far away from the truth.

Afterwards, Zuoqiu Guanyu's expression straightened slightly, and his eyes became sharp: "However, Patriarch Shouzhe sells grain in our Qing'an County. Doesn't he take our Zuoqiu family too seriously?"

"Things have developed to such an extent that your Zuoqiu clan is in danger, and Patriarch Guanyu is still thinking of using power to overwhelm others? Is this a habit of being superior, or has your forehead been plucked?" Wang Shouzhe's expression also straightened, and his eyes suddenly brightened. Turning cold, "If you want to talk, talk, if you don't talk, get out."

"puff!"

Qian Xuehan almost spit out his tea, looking at Wang Shouzhe with admiration.

Facing the fourth-rank family, they turned their faces when they said that they would turn their backs on them, awesome!
