"In addition, Yingxiu's Lu family, Jinsha Xu's family, and Donggang Chen's family are also families that need active support." Wang Shouzhe said seriously, "In the past 40 or 50 years, our Wang family has intermarried with them. We built a deep relationship with each other.”
These three families are not very powerful families. But it is precisely because of this that he will have an intermarriage with the now-declined Ping'an Wang family. Among them, Yingxiu's Lu family has the closest relationship, and Wang Shouzhe's biological mother is from Lu's direct line.
At the same time, Wang Liuling, the chief wife of Yingxiu's Lu clan, is also the eldest daughter of the sixth generation of the Wang clan, and Wang Shouzhe's biological aunt. The relationship is quite complicated and close.
"That's right, these three families are very close to my Wang family, so, Shouzhe, what do you think?" Wang Xiaozhi nodded in agreement. One of his two daughters was married to the Gongsun family of Shanyang, and the other was married to the Chen family of Donggang. And his son Wang Dingbang, who died young, married a direct descendant of the Jinsha Xu family.
"Fourth grandfather needs to sort out the cause and harm of this pest outbreak quickly. I will send my family to notify these six families overnight." Wang Shouzhe said quickly, "Among them, the Liu family in Shanyin and the Xu family in Changning have already cultivated spirits. Insect masters, as long as you give them a method, I believe it will not be difficult for them to solve this crisis on their own. In addition, the main business of Jinsha Xu's and Donggang Chen's should not be in agriculture, and we will reduce their losses after fulfilling the notification obligation."
After a pause, Wang Shouzhe said again: "The more troublesome ones are the Yingxiu Lu family and the Shanyang Gongsun family. First, we must fulfill our obligation of notification as soon as possible. In addition, we need to actively help them and do our best. In this way, even They have lost a lot in the pest infestation, and they will only feel gratitude to us instead of resentment."
These calculations and remarks made Wang Xiaozhi stunned. He never expected that a sudden outbreak of insect plague would involve such a complicated situation.
More importantly, Wang Shouzhe was able to arrange this matter so thoughtfully and meticulously in such a short period of time, taking care of all aspects.
"Shou Zhe, fourth grandpa underestimated you, and also underestimated Luo Jing." Wang Xiaozhi sighed with a wry smile, "Your generation's young people are indeed better, and when we are old, our Xiaozi generation is really old. "
"Fourth grandpa is too modest. If it weren't for your generation to keep the ancestral foundation, how could we younger generations have a foothold?" Wang Shouzhe sneered again after a modest sentence, "Except for those six families, especially the Liu family And Zhao's..."
Wang Xiaozhi's expression suddenly became serious: "Shouzhe, don't worry, in the next ten days, our three major farms of the Wang family will completely block the news."
Unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhe squinted his eyes and smiled: "The outbreak of insect disasters cannot be concealed. Everyone has agricultural experts. Within three days, the entire Changningwei area will surely boil. By the way, fourth grandfather, you are not cheap Have you bought a batch of insecticide?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wang Xiaozhi's expression was full of annoyance: "Yes, last winter's Mie Chong San was the lowest price in history, and there was a large discount. I thought that the three major farms in my family could not do without Mie Chong San Chongsan, after discussing with several elders, I stocked up a large amount, which is enough for our family for three years. No, there are more than 300 dry gold left. The loss is big. After this pest plague, those insect exterminators How can it be useful to disperse?"
The family is already in such a tight situation, losing more than 300 dry gold all at once is enough to make Wang Xiaozhi feel ashamed to the grave.
"Mie Chong San shouldn't have completely lost its effect, right?" Wang Shouzhe pondered for a while, and at the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly.
"That's not true, it's just that it's more difficult to deal with adult honey bugs than eggs." Wang Xiaozhi's face was very solemn, "I tried it just now, and I had to double the dose and mix it with plant ash juice to get rid of honey bugs quickly. This does not include the subsequent hatching of honey worms."
Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe machine-gunned out the questions one by one.
Wang Xiaozhi was overwhelmed before, but now he didn't dare to underestimate Wang Shouzhe, and patiently answered one by one. He is seventy-five years old now, and started farming with his father at the age of fifteen. So far, he has been involved in farming for sixty years, and his experience is indeed extremely rich.
"In this way, the output value of winter wheat per mu in an ordinary year is about 15 coppers." Wang Shouzhe quickly sorted out the data, "After deducting taxes, tenant commissions, farm tools, cattle seeds, insecticide powder, etc., the fixed amortization, among them The amortization of Miechong San is about 1 big copper, and the overall gross profit is 8 big coppers per mu. If this pest disaster is not properly controlled, the farm will enter a stage of slight loss based on the 50% reduction in production. The more the production is reduced, the greater the loss …”
"If you don't care about anything, I'm afraid the production will be reduced by about 70%." Wang Xiaozhi's body shook, and he somewhat understood what Wang Shouzhe meant, and he made a judgment, "For example, when the insect plague breaks out, increase the investment of two large copper insecticides. Dispersion, the disaster can be controlled within 20% of the previous year's reduction in production."
"The Dagan Kingdom is currently implementing a unified official grain reserve mechanism. Any family or business that dares to use good years and disasters to speculate on grain prices is a serious crime." Wang Shouzhe continued to sort out various conditions, "Therefore, on the basis of reducing production by 70%, Every 1 achievement in reducing production is to reduce the loss of 1 large copper and 50 dimes, and the reduction in production is worth 7 large coppers and 50 dimes. Then the problem comes, if there is no spiritual insect master to control honey insects, then the 2 large coppers of insecticide powder Is it worth the vote!?"
"It's worth it!" Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe's analysis, Wang Xiaozhi nodded quickly, "I'll vote even if it's 4 big coppers." At the same time, his eyes lit up, excited: "Listen to Shouzhe, what do you mean, The 300 dry gold that our family hoarded is not a loss, but it is also worth 600 dry gold? Good, good, thanks to those guys laughing at me for hoarding insect powder."
"It's worth at least 600 dry gold. Our fifth sister, Luo Jing, is a junior spiritual insect master who specializes in treating honey insects. Those insect-killing powders are no longer needed. But compared to the entire Changningwei area, spiritual insect masters are just a drop in the bucket. Most of the families have to rely on pest control to survive the disaster." Wang Shouzhe smiled lightly, "Congratulations to the fourth grandpa, you have made a lot of money for the family."
"Hahaha, that's great." Wang Xiaozhi smiled until his face became rosy, "My family Luo Jing is really a treasure, she is indeed my granddaughter of Wang Xiaozhi."
The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched. These four old masters are really thick-skinned. They were so patriarchal before, and they kept saying that their granddaughters lost money. In the blink of an eye, Luo Jing became a treasure.
But speaking of it, Luo Jing, the future spiritual insect master, is really a treasure. Even if the update iteration of Miechong Powder continues to be effective in the future, she can save the expensive "pesticide fee" of one or two hundred gold for the family every year, and the money saved is pure profit.
"However, all of this is due to your blessing, Shouzhe." Wang Xiaozhi smiled from ear to ear, "Fourth Master can be considered to understand your words, sometimes bad things often turn into good things. Shouzhe Zhe, you are a blessed person, and after you become patriarch, our Wang family will definitely get better."
Although superstition is bad, Wang Shouzhe still appreciates Wang Xiaozhi's superstition.
And with his advanced thinking, if he didn't seize some business opportunities during this pest disaster, he would be a time traveler. Food prices are strictly controlled by the Dagan government and hype is not allowed, but the Dagan government has not banned the hype of Mie Chong San, has it
A plan has gradually formed in his mind.
