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, many lands that were not suitable for farming have been transformed into good fields bit by bit after digging or filling.
Around these fertile fields, one farm after another was built.
Under the unified planning throughout the year, old rivers have been repaired and dredged, and new rivers have been excavated. Let the entire Ping'an Town, large and small rivers criss-cross, and waterways extend in all directions. At each key point of the waterway, flood control gates were built one by one to adjust the water level at critical moments.
Every farm and village is connected by rivers and has its own wharf, which not only solves the irrigation problem, but also saves transportation capacity. The transportation capacity of ships far exceeds that of animal-drawn carts.
A low-key and simple carriage is driving on the wide and straight "cement" road. Even in this rainy season, the cement road is clean without any muddy feeling.
Twenty or thirty years ago, there was absolutely no such phenomenon. At that time, there were few roads in Pingan Town, and most of them were rammed earth roads. Once it comes to the rainy season, the ground is full of mud, whether traveling by carriage or walking, it will be very embarrassing.
Even for a carriage with a larger load, it is normal for the wheels to sink into the mud.
Only in the town, or near the gate of the aristocratic family, will it be cleaner. There will be some bluestone on the road surface to harden the road surface and the activity area.
However, the bluestone pavement is very expensive to lay, and the laying efficiency is also very low. 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.
At such a cost, it is okay to spread the inside and outside of the house. Wanting to pave all the country roads with bluestone pavement is completely idiotic nonsense, even with the financial resources of the Wang family, it will be too much.
It is relatively simple to build "cement" roads/cement roads. The cost is relatively low, and the molding speed is extremely fast. And it is very clean and tidy, which is very suitable for the current situation of Ping'an Town.
In the low-key carriage, Wang Shouzhe looked at the drainage ditches on both sides of the cement road and the large tracts of farmland through the glass window of the carriage.
This season is the season when the wheat is soaring, and the green ocean is endless. Abundant rain, coupled with good drainage, no accidents, no accidents, this year will be another bumper harvest of wheat.
Although the Changning Wang family has many industries, the most important of all industries is to return to the farmland. What's more, in Wang's farmland, all the wheat or rice seeds are produced, and the income is extraordinary.
Changningwei, and some aristocratic families in the surrounding acropolis, have gradually begun to accept the grain seeds provided by the Wang family. Although the price is a bit expensive, it has huge advantages in terms of disease resistance, lodging resistance, and yield.
Using Wang's grain cultivation will be more stable and the yield will be much higher. The overall income will be 30% to 70% higher than before. You know, the extra income is equal to pure profit.
This part of the net profit is extremely important to those families of the eighth and ninth ranks. They can accumulate resources for the replacement of the spiritual 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 spiritual platform. Realm, even the third Lingtai Realm.
There are even 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 use their fertile fields, 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 grow.
That's why.
Driven by the Wang family, many aristocratic families in Changningwei are gradually embarking on the road of "common prosperity", and once the aristocratic families have tasted the sweetness, it is difficult to return to the past.
They will firmly unite around the Wang family and safeguard their common interests.
Dozens of aristocratic families, large and small, in Changningwei, except for a few aristocratic families, are speeding up their prosperity. And the entire area of Changningwei will become stronger and stronger.
Wang Shouzhe has spent more than 20 years traveling through time.
Along the way, he was also quite moved. Although there are still many shortcomings, but after all, he still leads the people to live their lives.
At least the younger siblings and the clansmen don't have to worry about a little bit of spiritual food and cultivation pills, which affects the "early development" and future potential.
Of course, the construction of Ping'an Town is only the beginning.
For example, for Wang Shouzhe, the asphalt road is better for this road, and the more "flexible" road is easier to maintain and repair. Once the cement pavement is damaged, it is too troublesome to maintain.
But so far, no natural asphalt minerals have been found, and no oil has been found, so it is impossible to refine asphalt. This idea can only be put aside temporarily.
At the same time, the carriage passed by rivers and bridges.
The reason why the original river channel formed a meandering shape is that 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 form a curved shape 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. Especially for some newly opened river courses, the horizontal and vertical sides of the river are solid, which is easy to control and maintain for a long time.
From this, it can be seen how much effort and money the Wang family has spent on the management of Ping'an Town. Wang Shouzhe has always regarded Ping'an Town as his territory, and plans to build it into a foundation for thousands of years.
Unlike on the earth, people struggle all their lives, and no matter how much money they earn, they will live until they are eighty or ninety years old. There are very few centenarians.
In this world, Wang Shouzhe, with his current state of Lingtai, is already different from ordinary people.
And in the future, at least he will be in good condition, and the purple mansion can 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 fifteen 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-rank Ding" were only a small step short, the main line of the Wang family would give him a third-rank "Enlightenment Pill" to help him rise from the "waste product qualification" to the high rank. 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, Wang Luojing repeatedly "friended each other". 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, Wang Zongwei's eldest son, who is now twelve 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 given by my grandfather when I went to Yingxiu Lu's to visit." Wang Zongcai said hastily, "Of course I have a gift, and everyone under the age of eighteen in 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 some small errand tasks within the family in their leisure time.
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!"
