protect our patriarch

Chapter 336 Zuoqiu admits towering!Shou-chul wins big
……

"What!?" Zuoqiu Guanyu seemed to have been slapped severely, her crown-like face flushed red instantly, and her anger rose even higher, "Wang Shouzhe! You, you, you, How dare you speak to me like that?!"

"Hehe~"

Wang Shouzhe glanced at him, but ignored him.

Picking up the teacup on the table again, he took a sip slowly.

Seeing that Zuoqiu Guanyu's face became more and more embarrassing, and he almost couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his mouth slowly: "Patriarch Guanyu, you have self-knowledge. Now the Zuoqiu family is caught in internal and external troubles, and you can ask me for help." .I really don't know where you got the courage to show off in front of me?"

"As long as I insist on refusing peace talks, the accountability of the capital alone will be enough for Zuoqiu to drink a pot."

"Taking a step back, even if the Zuoqiu family in the capital can settle down with years of relationship, you can suppress the turmoil in Qing'an County by force. However, the grain seeds cannot be sold, depending on your Zuoqiu family's financial strength. How many years will you last? The family is big and the business is great, of course it is powerful, but can you sustain the annual expenses? Or, you can also reduce the number of alternations between heaven and man, and the number of Zifu alternations. You can also make people save money on food and expenses That way we can last a few more years.”

"It's a pity that no matter how much you save, you can't change the fate of decline."

Every word of Wang Shouzhe was like a sharp arrow, one after another pierced Zuoqiu Guanyu's heart.

As the Patriarch of Zuoqiu Clan, no one knows Zuoqiu Clan's current economic situation better than him.Just supporting the six ancestors of the Zifu is a huge expense, not to mention that there are even more elders in the Heavenly Human Realm below, who are burning money every day.

As for reducing the support, would he dare?
Each of the six ancestors of Zifu can easily deal with him.Even if the two ancestors of the direct lineage, Deye and Zhenghua, are willing to support him, the remaining four direct lineage ancestors of the Zifu will not be willing. more serious.

Without selling grain seeds, the current stable situation of the Zuoqiu Clan could not be maintained at all.

"Aren't you afraid that our Zuoqiu clan will turn against you?" Zuoqiu Guanyu clenched his fists, looking at Wang Shouzhe with murderous intent in his eyes, "With my Zuoqiu clan's strength, it's easy to kill your Wang clan."

"Hehe~" Wang Shouzhe sneered, turned his head to look at Taishi Ankang, "Master County Governor, let's enforce the law, when did we allow high-ranking families to kill low-ranking families at will?"

"Patriarch Guanyu, be careful." Taishi Ankang glanced at Zuoqiu Guanyu, and warned seriously, "I, the eight thousand Xuanjia guards in Longzuo County, are not just for nothing. What's more, since you have investigated the Wang family, you should know The name of Miss Liyao, she is the beloved disciple of Tianhe Zhenren, a majestic talent."

Da Tianjiao, just this name alone can actually make many cultivators in the Purple Mansion fear him.Not to mention, the other party also has a supernatural power realm dean Shizun.

Even if your Zuoqiu family wants to bully others, you still have to consider Miss Liyao, right? More than 100 years later, she will be the master of the Zifu, and hundreds of years later, she will be a real person with supernatural powers.

If you take action against Wang, aren't you afraid that Miss Liyao will retaliate against Zuoqiu after she becomes a supernatural person in the future?
"Besides, the Wang family of Changning is not a rootless apple." Taishi Ankang said, "Many members of his family have worshiped under the masters of the Purple Mansion, and the main branch of the Wang family is even more powerful Wang family! "

A family that can be crowned with the word "Dagan" must be at least a third-rank family, or have been a third-rank family.

Even though Zuoqiu clan of Qing'an was a fourth rank, and they were the most powerful existence in Qing'an County, they could only be named as Qing'an.Mao rashly directly dubbed the word "Daqian", even if people ridiculed him, everyone would not recognize it.

Just like the Wang family can crown the word "Changning", but they cannot crown it with "Longzuo" at will.As for the Longzuo Wang family, it used to be a fifth-rank family. Although it has declined, it can still bear the word "Longzuo".

Hearing Taishi Ankang mention "Dagan Wang", Zuoqiu Guanyu's already ugly expression became even more exciting.

Although the information shows that the current Changning Wang family has no contact with the main line of Dagan, but if things really get serious, someone will go to Dagan to get away with it if it is not clear.

For example, if Wang Liyao went to fight against the Wang family, she would definitely receive warm hospitality given her arrogance, and she might even be able to invite out the supernatural ancestor.

It is precisely because of these scruples that Zuoqiu's hands are a little restrained...

Seeing the stalemate in the situation, Wu Dinghai, the governor of Qing'an County, who hadn't spoken, quickly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay~ The two patriarchs are young and energetic, and some verbal disputes are inevitable. Just let it go. Guanyu Patriarch, when it comes to this matter, you, the Zuoqiu family, still want to negotiate, so don't put up the lineage of the fourth-rank family. Make concessions, don't be arrogant."

"The Sheriff is right."

Even though Zuoqiu Guanyu was dissatisfied in his heart, he was the patriarch of the aristocratic family and was very flexible.

He immediately descended the donkey down the slope with interest, bowed his hands to thank Wu Dinghai, and then put on a refined and elegant posture, looked at Wang Shouzhe and said, "Patriarch Shouzhe, just crowned Yu Menglang. How about it, when it comes to The root cause of this matter is that I, the Zuoqiu family, started the business war first. I, the Zuoqiu family, will make a statement first. From now on, the price of the flying chariot market will be decided by Shouda Trading Company. This business requires everyone to make money together. Why do you have to take advantage of others for nothing?"

His previous use of power to overwhelm others was actually a strategy.Wouldn't it be beautiful if he could really hold Wang Shi down?Even if you can't hold it down, you won't lose a piece of meat.No, seeing Wang's toughness, Zuoqiu Guanyu immediately changed his strategy.

"Good idea." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Then our Shouda Trading Company will also intervene in the flying chariot market in Qing'an County, and discuss the price. As for the grain business, we can also do it together. You can go to our Long If you sell it left, we will also sell it to you Qing'an at will."

"Since the owner of Guanyu is so bold, he has given the pricing power of the flying chariot market to Shouda Commercial Bank. I, Wang Shouzhe, am naturally not a stingy person." Wang Shouzhe also put on a proud look and said, "The price of grain is up to you The Qiu family will decide, and my Wang family will definitely not sell an extra dime."

Zuoqiu Guanyu's expression froze, and ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in his heart.

If our Zuoqiu Clan's grain seeds could compete with your Wang Clan's grain seeds at the same price, why would I come all the way to be insulted by you?

Zuoqiu Guanyu pinched his palms fiercely before he controlled his expression and forced a smile: "Patriarch Shouzhe was joking."

"You were the one who joked first." Wang Shouzhe smiled playfully.

"Then according to Patriarch Shouzhe's meaning..." Zuoqiu Guanyu had already fully felt that Wang Shouzhe was not easy to mess with, so he simply probed, "Is there a solution to this matter?"

"Of course there is a solution." Wang Shouzhe didn't bother to circle around with him anymore. "First, your Qingfeng Commercial Bank's flying chariot business is completely dissolved, and our Shouda Commercial Bank will take over the flying chariot business and debts."

The corner of Zuoqiu Guanyu's mouth twitched.

Do you want to be so ruthless?And such an excessive condition is actually only the first...

"Second, open the flying chariot market in Qing'an County to our Shouda Trading Company." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "As long as these two conditions are fulfilled, you can express your sincerity and you can negotiate with my Wang family." It's about grain."

Such two fierce conditions are actually just preconditions?
Even the county guard Wu Dinghai's expression became ugly: "Patriarch Shouzhe, is your appetite too big? Is your food too ugly? You have to stay on the line when doing things, don't go too far."

This statement came out.

Before Wang Shouzhe could speak, Ankang, the governor of the county, laughed loudly: "Wu Dinghai, Wu Dinghai, why do you sound so familiar to me? When I went to Qing'an County to discuss with you a year ago, I also What did you say to you? How did you answer me at that time?"

He imitated Wu Dinghai's tone, and said: "Taishi, Taishi, it's a serious business competition, and it's a good thing to benefit the people. You're just eating radish and worrying about it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Dinghai with a half-smile: "According to what you said, our Patriarch Shouzhe sells grain at a low price to the big and small families in Qing'an County. Isn't it a great thing to benefit the country and the people?"

Wu Dinghai's face suddenly felt as if someone had slapped him, and it hurt hotly.

How he hated Taishi Ankang at the beginning, now he repays him twice as much.And he can't imitate him and walk away, otherwise, the Zuoqiu family will be finished sooner or later, and before it is finished, maybe he will do something crazy, then Wu Dinghai's life will really come to an end.

Probably because the deadline is approaching. His Majesty has become more sensitive in recent years. If such a big mistake occurs, he will probably be sent to the battlefield outside the territory. If he is unlucky, he will become cannon fodder.

"Taishi Sheriff." Wu Dinghai knew very well that he could not get away with this matter, so he could only harden his head and said with a smile, "This matter is indeed my brother's fault, and my brother apologizes to you."

Cool!
Taishi Ankang was like eating ice cubes on a hot day, feeling refreshed from start to finish.Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Shouzhe again, with more joy and respect in his eyes.

The Changning Wang family has this son to be the master of the family, and it will be a great prosperity~~
"These two conditions may sound harsh." Wu Dinghai said with a smile, "However, in the end, it was Zuoqiu who listened to the villain's slander and took the initiative to cause disputes. If it is on the grain, there is a reasonable Arrangement, our Qing'an side may not be unable to agree."

"Governor! These conditions..." Zuoqiu Guanyu was in a hurry.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Wu Dinghai immediately interrupted him with a slap in the face: "Patriarch Guanyu, why don't you understand the matter until now? Your Zuoqiu family is already a man for a sword and I for a fish. What qualifications are you negotiating? The most urgent thing is to have a discussion and find a way to resolve the grain dispute. This is the foundation of your Zuoqiu clan."

Zuoqiu Guanyu felt as if struck by lightning, her face turned red and then pale, and it took a long while before she came back to her senses.

In fact, he doesn't know... It's just that the name of the fourth-rank family is too famous, and he is used to it. They have always been the only ones in charge of the fate of others. For a while, it is impossible to accept that the lifeline is pinched in the hands of a mere seventh-rank family.

After a long while, he recovered from his slump: "Patriarch Shouzhe, our Zuoqiu family can also agree to those two conditions. However, the several types of grain you sell in Qing'an County, our Zuoqiu family Willing to spend a lot of money to buy the cultivation rights. One price, 500 million dry gold to buy out the cultivation and sales rights of five grain varieties in Qing'an County."

"Otherwise, our Zuoqiu family would rather die than die. How the situation will develop at that time, we can only resign ourselves to fate."

When he said the last sentence, Zuoqiu Guanyu's tone hardened.A fourth-rank family is a fourth-rank family after all, and it still has dignity and pride.

Wang Shouzhe also saw that it was Zuoqiu's last bottom line to spend money to buy the cultivation and sales rights of grain seeds in Qing'an County.

Otherwise, if it is just that the Wang family withdraws from the market in Qing'an County, let alone whether the various families in Qing'an who have tasted the sweetness will do so, who knows if the Wang family will return to the carbine after it becomes strong?

However, winning the cultivation and sales rights is the bottom line, but the price is not the bottom line.

Wang Shouzhe had already estimated this, and had investigated Zuoqiu's financial resources.

"Our Wang family can sell the breeding and sales rights in Qing'an County to your Zuoqiu family." Wang Shouzhe continued to say while drinking tea, not waiting for Zuoqiu Guanyu to look happy, "However, the Zuoqiu family needs to pay 5000 yuan first. The monopoly fee of 200 dry gold in Gyeongan County, followed by an annual authorization fee of [-] million dry gold."

Speaking of which, Zuoqiu didn't want to die, so did Wang?
Today's Wang family is in the process of making a fortune and has a bright future.If it is not necessary, Wang Shouzhe is not willing to fight hard with any family from the Zifu.

Left and right are just paying some low-level grain seeds, and they can get a large amount of money to solve the problem of Mrs. Wang's gold shortage, and also solve the crisis of Shouda Commercial Bank. Why not?

After all, what the Wang family lacks the most is time and money.

As long as the Wang family is given enough time and space to develop, in one or two hundred years, the Wang family may not be afraid to confront the Zuoqiu family head-on.

As for the money...

The big Tianjiao, Tianjiao, and Xiaotianjiao in the Wang clan, old and young in the family, consume a huge amount of dry gold every year.With the birth of new tribesmen, this number is still growing.

If not, why did Wang Shouzhe take aim at "Qingluowei" just after developing Xin'an Town outside the territory?

And the preparation and development of Qingluowei in the future will be a big gold-swallowing beast with "difficult desires".

Zuoqiu Guanyu was terrified by Wang Shouzhe's offer, and he roared furiously: "Patriarch Shouzhe, even if you blackmail him, you have to have a bottom line. Are you a pig and sheep for our Zuoqiu clan to be slaughtered? 1000 million! Just 1000 million, no! One more dime, our Zuoqiu clan..."

"Patriarch Guanyu, don't be so irritable. We can still discuss the price~ how about this, 500 million..."

For the benefit of their respective families, the patriarchs of the two aristocratic families began to haggle over every detail like street vendors at Caishikou.

This process lasted for half a month.

Finally, after Zuoqiu Guanyu turned the table away several times and discussed with the family ancestors, the two parties finally agreed on the terms of the peace negotiation.

In addition to Zuoqiu's complete withdrawal from the flying chariot market and the unconditional opening of the flying chariot market in Anqing County, Zuoqiu paid 2000 million dry gold in cash to buy the cultivation rights of grain seeds, and at the same time, paid the total sales of grain seeds to Wang's every year [-]% of the price is used as a patent royalty.

This contract lasts for 100 years.

During the contract period, the Wang family is not allowed to take the initiative to sell grain seeds to Qing'an County.

At this point, the huge turmoil caused by the grain seeds has disappeared, and the ending can be regarded as "happy to all".

……

Some time passed.

In Qing'an County, the famous gourmet manor - Qingyaju.

Sending off Zuoqiu Guanyu, Xiaoyue returned to the Green Bamboo Courtyard, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Although Zuoqiu Guanyu said it tactfully just now, the meaning is quite clear: this time the Zuoqiu family has lost too much, and the Zuoqiu family will not participate in the follow-up plans against the Qian and Wang families. Please, Mr. Ce, please hire another wise man.As for the favor of renting the flying chariot, the Zuoqiu family will find a way to repay it.

Zuoqiu Guanyu said so much, Xiaoyue naturally couldn't force it, so she could only be polite and send her away.

To be honest, even she never expected that things would develop to this point.

The strife between the aristocratic families has been fighting for financial resources and strength since ancient times.

A fourth-rank family with a history of 2000 years, with countless strong members, whether it is financial resources or strength, is several times that of the Longzuo Qian family and Changning Wang family combined. According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible to fail.

The Longzuo Qian family and the Changning Wang family were able to turn the tables against the wind in such a situation. This can almost be called a "miracle", and it is the kind of representative deed that can be written into the "Longzuo County Chronicles".

Even if during this process, Qian and Wang had a trick and prepared in advance, the result can still be described as "unbelievable".

Moreover, according to the news sent back from Luo Yuqing's [Breaking Dawn], in this confrontation with the Zuoqiu and Cao clans, the dominant one is not the Longzuo Qian clan they speculated at the beginning, but the Longzuo Qian clan. It is the Wang family of Changning.

To be more precise, it is Wang Shouzhe, the patriarch of the Wang family in Changning.

From the beginning to the end, the Longzuo Qian family followed Wang Shouzhe's plan, as if he was very sure that he would be able to win back the Qian family.

Inadvertently, Xiaoyue recalled Luo Yuqing's evaluation of Wang Shouzhe, saying that he "has a deep chest, is cunning and decisive, and is cautious and considerate".

At that time, she still felt that this evaluation was a little high.

Now it seems that this evaluation actually underestimated him.Perhaps, one more sentence should be added to this evaluation, "it cannot be judged by common sense".

If a person like Wang Shouzhe is a friend, it is really a happy thing, but if he is an enemy, it is really...

Xiaoyue rubbed the center of her brows, feeling a little headache.

That's all~ Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, why not think about how to deal with the aftermath~
There is a vast Hurricane Ocean between Hanyue Xianchao and Daqian, so it is difficult to circulate news, and the master cannot know the situation of Daqian for the time being.But the master will come back from the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty one day, and she has to give the master an explanation.

Thinking of this, she hurried back to the room.

Soon, two letter birds, one green and one white, flew out of the window of her room, fluttering their wings and flew into the sky.

……

Liaoyuan County, Cao's main residence.

Coming out of Cao Bangyan's yard, Cao Youqing was in a bad mood.

Before he knew it, nearly a year had passed since Bangyan was arrested.During this period of time, the entire Cao family was so busy that they had no time to take care of themselves in order to deal with the investigation by the investigators.

Fortunately, the investigator was finally sent away, and Bang Yan was successfully redeemed, so the matter came to an end.

For her, however, the matter was far from over.

Cao Youqing glanced around.

Along the way, people from the Cao clan would pass by from time to time. On the surface, everyone still respected her as before, but she knew in her heart that although everyone didn't say anything publicly, they must be blaming her secretly.

Otherwise, why would they dodge when they looked over?
This time, Cao's loss was too great.

Even for a Zifu family like the Cao family, 600 million dry gold is a huge sum of money.In order to raise this fund, Cao Bangning had to reduce the supply of resources to the tribe, and even sold several ships.How could the tribe not resent her?
Moreover, the elders who were pushed out to take the blame this time were basically older members of the clan.Most of them are over three hundred years old, and there are at least dozens of descendants under their knees, and they are already at the level of their ancestors.

Although this time it was for the sake of the family and had to sacrifice, Nephew Bunning might have promised to compensate them, how could they have no complaints at all?
All these are unspeakable pressures on Cao Youqing.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.The more evasive the people of the tribe were towards her, the worse her mood became.

This kind of mood didn't get better until I came to the ancestor's Kunwu residence.

The ancestor of the Cao family is named "Cao Kunhao", and he is nearly [-] years old this year.In recent years, as the end of his life is getting closer and closer, his energy is not as good as before, and he doesn't come out to do activities very much, and spends most of his time in retreat in Kunwu Residence.

However, even if the ancestor is in seclusion, this Kunwuju Cao Youqing can come whenever he wants.

Pushing the door open as usual, Cao Youqing looked up and saw Patriarch Kunhao sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

Compared with decades ago, he is now very old. Not only is his hair white, but his face has many wrinkles. He looks like an old man in his 80s and [-]s.

"Ancestor."

Seeing that familiar figure, for some reason, the grievance in Cao Youqing's heart welled up all at once.

In a flash, she arrived in front of the ancestor's reclining chair, knelt on the grass next to him, hugged his arm coquettishly, and said aggrievedly: "Ancestor, I am not reconciled, I really am not reconciled~~ "

"Hey~"

Patriarch Kunhao sighed, and slowly opened his slightly cloudy eyes.

Although he never showed up, as the only ancestor of the Cao family, how could he not know what happened at home during this time?
Stretching out his hand to touch Cao Youqing's head, he said dotingly: "You child, if you lose, you will lose. With your current strength, as long as you practice hard, you will be able to achieve the Purple Mansion in less than a hundred years. There are still opportunities in the future. Now we Cao Shi, I can't stand the torment anymore."

"Old Ancestor, you have loved me the most since I was a child. You know my personality. If I can't pass this test, I'm afraid I'll be entangled by my heart demons. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the test of Tian Dao Asking My Heart." Cao Youqing's eyes flashed A touch of resentment said, "Thousands of calculations, I have underestimated Wang Shouzhe. If this person is not eliminated, he will be a disaster in the future. When he becomes the Zifu, my Cao family will suffer from it."

"Sigh~ you child... that's all, what you said makes sense. If you don't get rid of this person, it is indeed a huge hidden danger." Patriarch Kunhao thought of the young patriarch of the Wang family, and his face unconsciously became solemn Get up, "However, this matter must be done with caution. Unless you are absolutely sure, you must not easily startle the snake."

In the depths of his eyes, a murderous intent also flashed across.

"Old Ancestor, I will definitely not fail this time."

Thinking of Wang Shouzhe, Cao Youqing couldn't help gnashing her teeth, and her clear and beautiful face was full of resentment.

Although that girl Luo Yuqing always makes small reports in front of the master, which is very annoying, but compared with Wang Shouzhe, it is nothing at all.

This time, she might have to go find Luo Yuqing, that stinking girl herself, and ask her to help keep an eye on Wang Shouzhe.

She didn't believe that Wang Shouzhe never placed orders!

　The baby at home has finished the exam and finished beating~ I am relieved now, I don’t have to wake up at 05:30 tomorrow... I can sleep late tomorrow, happy~
