Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 334: Shouzhe's ingenious plan to decide Qing'an (seeking monthly ticket)

Views:

"You two don't want to look at me like this." Wang Shouzhe's eyes were a little innocent, "Since killing '**' Zuoqiu Qingyun, I guessed that Zuoqiu couldn't swallow this breath, and the probability of secretly retaliating is extremely high .”

"Since that's the case, it's reasonable for me to make some arrangements in advance." Wang Shouzhe spoke with ease, as if it wasn't worth mentioning.

Qian Xuehan and Taishi Ankang looked at each other. What Wang Shouzhe said seemed to make sense at first glance. However, this guy is really too cautious, too cautious.

They were still in the dark, and they started to weave their nets. Before they started to retaliate, the nets had already been laid...

I really feel sad for the Zuoqiu family, a majestic fourth-rank family, this time's tussle may be a big blow.

At the same time, they were also a little thankful that although Wang Shouzhe was a bit scary, he was their teammate~~ instead of an enemy. Such a reliable ally will be reassuring.

In the following days.

In the two counties of Longzuo and Qing'an, the situation was secretly surging.

Most eighth- and ninth-rank families don't have such a keen sense of touch, they just feel as if something big has happened.

But those seventh-rank and sixth-rank families clearly "watched" a big show.

The dignified Governor of Longzuo County, when he went to Qing'an County to negotiate the matter of the flying chariot industry, was mercilessly beaten back by the other party.

In the words of Wu Dinghai, governor of Qing'an County, Taishi Ankang, you really don't worry about salty carrots. Business competition between aristocratic families is normal.

Although Zuoqiu's business methods are not good for friends and merchants, they have benefited tens of millions of people in Longzuo County after all. What's more, for business services, the more competition there is, the more potential will be unleashed, so it's not good to be complacent.

King Cheng of Qing'an County even turned a blind eye to Taishi Ankang's visit, and used the excuse that he was not at home to wander around, which can be said to be shameless.

After all, the county king has the responsibility to keep the land safe and secure, and he is not allowed to leave the fief without an edict.

It was very obvious that King Cheng didn't even bother to make excuses.

It can be said that Taishi Ankang came back in disgrace.

When this matter spread to the capital and several surrounding counties, people would inevitably be ridiculed, thinking that Taishi Ankang had lost his head. How could he be willing to let go of a big piece of fat in his mouth

Wouldn't it be self-defeating to rush to the door anxiously

However, the arrogance of Qing'an County has caused a backlash from some aristocratic families and various government officials, and they have boycotted Qingfeng Trading Company. However, Qingfeng Trading Company is not a vegetarian. Confront the local authorities.

If an ordinary business dared to do this, it would have been cleaned up by the local government long ago. However, Qingfeng Trading Company is the property of a fourth-rank family, and their flying chariot was rented from Lingyun Holy Land.

As Qingfeng Commercial Bank's low-price strategy continued to be implemented, they began to plunder the market share of Shouda Commercial Bank by eating away at it.

Soon after, Shouda Trading Company also joined in the price war, and the two major trading firms started a life-and-death hand-to-hand battle, constantly burning money, burning money, and burning money again!

This is cheaper for the merchants and common people of all sizes in Longzuo County.

Due to the substantial reduction in transportation costs, trade exchanges have also been promoted in disguise, and transactions between regions have become more frequent, but it seems to be thriving, and the market size is expanding rapidly.

Driven by human nature, everyone is happy to see the price war between the two major firms, and hopes that the two companies will continue to fight and fight forever.

Of course, this is impossible.

This is nothing more than two firms competing for market share. When the outcome is known and one of them is completely squeezed out, the price war will naturally end.

And Wang Shouzhe's layout seems to have begun to work secretly.

Gyeongan County.

As a well-known "Land of Fish and Rice" in Dagan, Qing'an County has the largest amount of fertile land in Dagan, and its annual grain output is also the largest in Dagan.

An official from the taxation department of the capital once made special statistics that about 30% of the grain consumed by the entire Dagan each year comes from Qing'an County. Among the remaining seven counties, even Tianfu County, which is the most productive, has far less annual output than Qing'an County.

Correspondingly, the planting industry has naturally become one of the pillar industries of Gyeongan County.

It was the autumn harvest time, and the big and small aristocratic families in Qing'an County were busy harvesting, drying, and threshing, and the fields and acres were busy.

The Sun family in Hedong is no exception.

The Hadong Sun family is located in the Dongwei, one of the East Five Guards of Qing'an County. It is a relatively powerful eight-rank family in the local area. The family has more than 100,000 mu of fertile land and a hundred hectares of fishing grounds. Qing'an family is the main type of industry.

On this day, Sun Chuanxue, the patriarch of the Hedong Sun family, was patrolling the various manors of his family in a bullock cart as usual, checking the harvest progress of each manor and estimating the yield per mu of land.

Suddenly.

Another bullock cart was slowly passing by on the rammed earth road next to it, and a young monk lifted the curtain and greeted him: "Brother Ruicai, seeing your smiling face, it seems that this year's harvest is good."

"That's right." Sun Chuanxue couldn't help laughing when he saw that the person was his brother-in-law, "To tell you the truth, the harvest in my field this year has increased by more than 20% compared to previous years. When the rice is sold, it will almost I can earn seventy to eighty thousand, plus the profit from the fishing farm, my family’s income this year may break through the one hundred thousand mark.”

The person who came here was Liu Qinghao, the legitimate son of the Hedong Liu family who was related to the Hedong Sun family, and Liu Qinghao, who was also the younger brother of his wife Liu.

The Liu family in Hedong is also He Dongwei's eighth-rank family. They have been married to the Sun family for generations, and the relationship between them has always been very close.

"Yo~ This is really a bumper harvest~" Liu Qinghao marveled, but he didn't believe it in his heart, "But although the weather is good this year, the production won't be 20% more, right? Brother-in-law, tell me the truth, are you Did you secretly buy a new farm?"

"Hey~ Don't you know how many farms we have in the east side of the river? All the places that can be reclaimed have been reclaimed. Where can I buy new farms?" Sun Chuanxue smiled, seeing no one around, and called Liu Qinghao to himself On the ox cart, I whispered to him, "I only told you this secret because of the close relationship between your family and my family. Don't tell it. Actually, this year, there are Half of the crops are not Zuoqiu's 'five-spice rice', but high-yield grains purchased from other sources."

However, Liu Qinghao was taken aback when he heard this, and then sneered: "Brother-in-law, even if you want to fool me, at least you should find a more plausible reason. There is no better reason than 'five-spice rice' when we go big." Better grain?"

The Zuoqiu family started their business by planting. Back then, the Zuoqiu family was able to rise up among many aristocratic families, and finally became the fourth-rank aristocratic family dominating Qing'an County, thanks to the high-yield grain seeds carefully cultivated by their family.

With the same land and the same farming methods, their family's grain output is higher than that of other families. What's more, the Zuoqiu family didn't know what method they used. The mature rice grains and wheat grains they stole from their land could not germinate anyway, so that other aristocratic families wanted to steal their grain seeds to plant , there is no way.

At that time, the Patriarch of the Zuoqiu Clan was also a capable person, and he overcame the threats and strife from other families several times. This allowed the Zuoqiu Clan's advantage to gradually increase over time, and finally dominated Qing'an County.

Today, most of the aristocratic families in Qing'an County grow Zuoqiu's high-yield grain. The rest of the aristocratic families are all self-developed grains, but purely in terms of production, they are far inferior to Zuoqiu's five-spice rice and Yuzhi wheat.

The Zuoqiu family can earn a lot of money every year just by selling these two types of grains.

Of course Sun Chuanxue knew this too.

At the beginning, he didn't believe in the existence of this kind of grain when he first heard about it, but he couldn't resist the temptation of high yield, so he bought some rice seeds with the mentality of giving it a try. Otherwise, this year's harvest would not be more than 20% higher, but more than 30% higher.

However, he also knew that what he said was unsubstantiated, so Liu Qinghao would definitely not believe it if he said it so dryly. He simply got out of the bullock cart, grabbed a handful of ears of rice from the nearby field, and handed it to Liu Qinghao: "Look for yourself, isn't this rice different from the 'five-spice rice' you planted?"

Liu Qinghao took the ear of rice in his hand and looked at it carefully, then rubbed the husk away, looked at the rice inside carefully, his eyes suddenly changed: "This... is really different. It feels that the grains are fuller than spiced rice, Hmm~ The aroma of rice is also stronger."

Although the difference is very subtle, as a descendant of a family whose main source of income has been planting food for generations, he is very familiar with the appearance of his own rice. Even if there is only a slight difference, he can tell it through careful inspection. .

"Well, I'm not talking nonsense, am I?" Sun Chuanxue was very proud.

"This, this... This is too unbelievable. There is actually a family that can breed better grains than Zuoqiu's." Liu Qinghao couldn't help muttering to himself.

No wonder he was so surprised. It is true that the Zuoqiu clan has dominated Qing'an County for too long, and the concept that the Zuoqiu clan has the highest grain yield has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He never thought that one day, the production of Zuoqiu's grain would be surpassed by other grains.

After a while, he came back to his senses, turned around and grabbed his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, where did you buy the rice seeds? Do you have winter wheat seeds?"

You know, food is the lifeblood of their Liu family. If this kind of grain really has such a high yield, their family's income from grain will definitely increase greatly.

It just so happened that his youngest son was found to have the qualifications of Xiao Tianjiao. He was worried that his family could not cultivate a strong person in the heaven and man realm, and he was wondering whether to send him to the academy. If he could grow such a high-yielding grain seed , he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Hiss~ Calm down." Sun Chuanxue was so pinched that he almost died of pain, and quickly opened his hand, "Of course there are wheat seeds. But they haven't been shipped yet, I only paid a deposit and haven't taken it yet." The goods have arrived. If you want to buy them, I will take you with me when I go to get the wheat seeds."

Qing'an County has always been a rotation of wheat and rice. Now that the rice harvest is abundant, it is natural to plant winter wheat next.

Liu Qinghao slapped Sun Chuanxue's arm hard, blushing with excitement: "Good brother-in-law! You are really my own brother-in-law!"

"Nonsense, of course I'm your brother-in-law!" Sun Chuanxue rubbed his arm in pain, and couldn't help but give him a blank look.

This kid is worthy of the blood of the combat body, with a reckless spirit, and his hand strength is too strong.

Now Liu Qinghao's mind is full of his youngest son and the realm of heaven and man, and he doesn't care about Sun Chuanxue's dislike for him at all. He grabbed Sun Chuanxue's arm and asked excitedly, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to buy wheat seeds?"

Sun Chuanxue gasped: "Hiss! I'm going now, I'm going now, okay? Let me go quickly."

Liu Qinghao also realized that he was too excited, so he quickly retracted his hand in embarrassment, and looked at his brother-in-law eagerly.

Sun Chuanxue had nothing to do with him, so he told him to sit down, then turned around and told the driver to give his address.

Soon, the ox cart arrived at a manor slowly.

This manor looks no different from the other farms around it. If Sun Chuanxue hadn't brought Liu Qinghao here, no matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that there would be high-yielding grains for sale in this place.

There was no one guarding the farm. After entering the farm, we walked along the rammed-earth road in the middle and passed through the tall and short houses. The bullock cart soon came to an ordinary house.

Sun Chuanxue took Liu Qinghao out of the bullock cart, walked over and knocked on the door rhythmically: "Knock~Knock~Knock~Knock~"

After a while, a young man dressed as a farmer came and opened the door, and looked at Sun Chuanxue without saying a word.

"Brother, I'm here to get the wheat seeds I ordered. Besides, my brother-in-law also wants to buy wheat seeds." Sun Chuanxue cupped his hands at him and said politely.

Although the young man looked ordinary, he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, obviously wearing something to cover up his cultivation. So there's nothing wrong with being polite.

The young man glanced at him, then glanced at Liu Qinghao who was following him, as if trying to identify their identities, he nodded after a while: "Come with me~"

The young man's name is Wang Xiaohu, and he is the youngest son of the family general Wang Hu.

At the beginning, his father caught up with Wang's big plan to develop the outer domain, and then made a lot of contributions from the family, abruptly pushing his strength to the ninth floor of the Qi training realm. If it wasn't for his innate lack of aptitude and the fact that he couldn't afford the Heavenly Spirit Pill, he might have rushed to the Lingtai Realm directly.

As the youngest son, he also took advantage of a wave of light. When he was very young, he took a Qiling Pill and gained a wave of aptitude. Although he is only in his early twenties, he already has a cultivation base of the sixth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. It is stronger than the straight veins of most ninth-rank families.

Because of this, he was highly valued among the young generals, and that's why he got this good job. When he completes the mission and returns from Qing'an County, he will receive a large contribution from the family. Now that the family has opened the exchange of blood-quenching pills to other generals, he might be able to exchange them for blood-quenching pills if he fights hard.

In that way, his aptitude can be ranked very high among the family generals, and he might have the opportunity to reach the Lingtai stage in this life.

Wang Xiaohu led the way.

Soon, the three of them passed through the hall, entered the inner hall, and then went down to the cellar through a hidden secret door. The cellar was divided into many compartments, and the doors of each compartment were locked, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Along the way, the young man didn't say much, until he came to the door of a compartment, he took out the key and opened the door, and said: "There are three kinds of wheat seeds, namely 'No. 43', 'No. 59.' No. 27, and No. 27. What kind and how much do you want to buy, tell me after you order, and pay half of the deposit in advance, and then our people will send the wheat seeds to your village Go up. Cash on delivery, money and goods.”

While speaking, he also glanced at Liu Qinghao, obviously these words were specifically addressed to him.

"This..." Liu Qinghao understands the trading rules, but he is confused about the wheat species. "What are the specialties of these different wheat species? Could you please tell me about it?"

Sun Chuanxue didn't know that there would be three different kinds of wheat, so he couldn't help looking at the young man.

The young man was clearly prepared. Hearing the question from the two, he explained in a slow voice: "'No. 43' has a relatively strong ability to resist diseases and insect pests. Even if it encounters a large-scale insect disaster, the production reduction will not be serious."

"'No. 59' has a shorter maturity period, about a week faster than Zuoqiu's grain seeds, and one to two days faster than our own grain seeds."

"As for 'No. 27', it is more resistant to flooding, and even if it encounters floods, the reduction in production will not be serious."

After thinking for a while, he added: "In terms of output, 'No. 43' is a bit worse than 'No. 59', and 'No. 27' is even worse, about 10% less, but they are all better than Zuoqiu. The height of the wheat seeds is at least 30% to 40%. You can choose the appropriate grain type according to your own situation."

In fact, No. 27 wheat seed has been eliminated in the Wang family for a long time.

Because the Wang family has always attached great importance to the prevention and control of floods over the years, Ping'an Town has not encountered floods for nearly 20 years, and the "No. 27" wheat seed that appeared in response to floods naturally has no one to plant. .

On the contrary, in Qing'an County, because the water resources are too abundant, the Zuoqiu family does not pay as much attention to infrastructure construction and flood prevention as the Wang family, and the flood is still relatively serious. Until now, the Suochun River still bursts its embankment every few years.

The "No. 27" wheat seed at the bottom of the press box has come into use again.

Sun Chuanxue and Liu Qinghao felt that high yield, premature birth, and waterlogging tolerance were all very important. They struggled for a long time between "No. 59" and "No. 27". Finally, they decided to buy half of each type. .

Because they had already had a cooperation experience before, the two happily gave the deposit, and then went back happily with expectations for the future.

The same thing happened in other guards in Qing'an County.

The difference is that due to the different conditions of each county, the choice of purchasing grain is slightly different. In some areas prone to insect infestation, "No. 43" wheat seeds sell better. In some places prone to floods, "No. 27" wheat seeds sell better. "No." wheat varieties are the best-selling ones, because they have the highest yield.

Before they knew it, there were already less than half of the aristocratic families in Qing'an County, and the grain seeds purchased for the family were replaced by the Wang family's grain seeds.

Zuoqiu's main residence.

In a luxurious study room, a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, with a calm and domineering demeanor, is copying a pair of "Guiding the Country".

This middle-aged man is Zuoqiu Guanyu, the Patriarch of Zuoqiu Clan in Qing'an.

As for the "Pointing the Rivers and Mountains Map" that he copied, it was a sketch of Qing'an's future planning drawn by Zuoqiu's ancestors when they first came to Qing'an County to open up wasteland.

This picture is a famous work. After it was handed down for thousands of years, Emperor Longchang took a fancy to it and put it in the emperor's study room. He also gave the Zuoqiu family a lot of rewards in recognition of their contribution to the land reclamation in Qing'an County.

Today, Zuoqiu's family only keeps copies.

Due to various factors, members of the Zuoqiu Clan have a lot of affection for "Pointing to the Country and Mountains", and generations of patriarchs have left copies. They all hope that one day they will be able to make unworldly feats like their ancestors.

The contemporary Patriarch Zuoqiu Guanyu is no exception.

It's just that due to reality, Zuoqiu's development has already encountered a bottleneck, and he is full of ambitions and cannot display them. And now, the opportunity has finally come!

As long as the Shouda Trading Company in Longzuo County can be defeated, they will be able to control the two major flying chariot transportation markets in Longzuo and Qing'an. Even, with the advantage of scale, they can enter the counties of Monan, Liaoyuan, and Lingbei.

At that time, Zuoqiu's ability to earn wealth will be able to enter a new level, laying the foundation for promotion to a third-rank family.

Zuoqiu Guanyu was copying "Pointing to the River and Mountain Picture" beside him, and his heart was full of passion.

Right now.

An old man with long beard came in to meet him.

He held a stack of thick books in his hand, with a slight smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Patriarch, congratulations to the Patriarch."

"Lao An, what's the matter?" Zuoqiu Guanyu was obviously in a good mood, and smiled while drawing.

Lao An was his confidant and accompanying student when he was young, and he has been promoted all the way after he became the head of the family. He is currently one of the chief stewards of the Zuoqiu family, and is responsible for sorting out some related accounts.

Lao An put the account book aside, cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, the accounts of the major grain growers have been compiled this year. God bless me, Zuoqiu. This year's five-spice rice has a bumper harvest, which is almost more than in previous years. Twenty percent."

20%

The pen in Zuoqiu Guanyu's hand paused, showing a look of relief: "Lao An, this is indeed a great joy."

In a happy mood, the brushwork he copied in his hand became more and more like a dragon and a phoenix dancing, and he became full of vigor.

Zuoqiu's industry involves all aspects, but the most fundamental industry is still based on agriculture. It's just because they have the five-spice rice seeds and the jade-finger wheat seeds in their hands.

Throughout Qing'an County, most of the aristocratic families cultivated these two crops. Because of their high yield and good quality, once they are cultivated, they will not worry about sales and can earn more money for the family.

It was also because the Zuoqiu family controlled the agricultural foundation of the entire Qing'an County, which made the Zuoqiu family more and more powerful, and finally grew into a fourth-rank giant.

With such a large scale of grain, it is naturally a great joy to increase the income of grain by 20%.

"Patriarch, after the increase in the harvest of five-spice rice seeds, the capacity of grain warehouses in various places is somewhat insufficient." Lao An said, "We need to speed up the sale of Yuzhi wheat seeds to free up grain storage. According to the tradition over the years, we can Slightly reduce the price of Jade Finger Wheat and promote it to win the hearts of the families.”

"Jade refers to the price reduction of wheat and wheat seeds?" Zuoqiu Guanyu frowned slightly, and vetoed, "No. Our Qingfeng Commercial Bank is engaged in a price war with Shouda Commercial Bank. Although the battle is good, it burns money very badly. Although the Qian family is just a mere fifth-rank family, this family is famously rich. In the next ten or twenty years, the battle will continue to be stalemate."

"How about this, this time the jade finger wheat seeds are sold at a 20% increase in price, so as to make up for our losses in Qingfeng Commercial Bank."

Lao An's face tightened, and he said hastily: "Patriarch, if the price is raised like this, it will cause opinions from the aristocratic families from all over the world. The old servant thinks..."

"Opinion?"

Zuoqiu Guanyu put down his pen, and said with a sneer, "I, the Zuoqiu family, have provided high-quality grain seeds to various families in Qing'an County over the years, and fed them all fat. Now, our Zuoqiu family is in the process of transformation. At a critical moment, are you unwilling to let them share some risks?"

Lao An lowered his head and cupped his hands: "The main reason is that I am afraid that the aristocratic family will be too emotional, and it will be troublesome if they refuse to buy."

"Refused to buy? That would be great." Zuoqiu Guanyu put his hands behind his back, admiring the "Pointing the River and Mountain Map" that he was about to copy, and laughed, "Do you know the Changning Wang family? They also produce and sell grain. One is called Wang's No. 19 rice seed, and Wang's No. 23 wheat seed."

"I have already sent people to investigate. These two kinds of grains are barely high-quality grains, only inferior to our five-spice rice and jade finger wheat. Relying on these grains, the Changning Wang family can reap a lot .”

"What does the Patriarch mean?" Lao An raised his brows and asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, if those aristocratic families are unwilling to accept the price increase, then our Zuoqiu family will sell the jade finger wheat seeds and spiced rice seeds to Longzuo County, taking advantage of the trend to suppress the Changning Wang family's grain sales." Qiu Guanyu pointed Jiang Shandao, "Now our Zuoqiu family is at the juncture of transformation, it is time to change some conservative strategies. From next year, we must increase the scale and output of the grain planting base, and we can no longer be limited to the small Qing'an County gone."

"But the owner..." Lao An said worriedly, "increasing the scale of the grain planting base, firstly, we need to maintain more high-quality farmland, and secondly, we need to train more farmers. In the past, in order to maintain the technology, our family Don't let it out, the farmers cultivated by the family are all core members of the Zuoqiu Clan~ They are all loyal... "

"We can expand the target audience for the selection and training of planters to loyal and reliable collateral members, and strengthen management." Zuoqiu Guanyu said confidently, "As for premium farmland, we can buy farms from various families at a premium. In short , for the development of the Zuoqiu Clan, this expansion is inevitable."

"Yes, Patriarch." A trace of worry flashed away in Lao An's eyes.

However, since the head of the family has made such a decision, he must have made peace with the elders.

Now, he is no longer a small manager who can control things.

The Zuoqiu family's Patriarch's order quickly spread to the entire Qing'an County, and the granaries in various places began to faithfully implement the Patriarch's order.

However, the development of the situation was completely different from Zuoqiu Guanyu's expectation.

Although the grains Wang sold to the outside world before were indeed Wang's No. 19 rice species and Wang's No. 23 wheat species, the sequence of Wang's cultivation of grains was actually much ahead of this.

This time, the several wheat varieties that Mr. Wang has thrown out are all mature varieties cultivated for many years, which can adapt to various regional environments and at the same time take care of the different needs of each family.

And because of Wang's advance layout, many small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Qing'an County have tasted the sweetness of Wang's high-yielding grain seeds, and secretly bought Wang's wheat seeds.

Originally, although there were still many aristocratic families who secretly learned about Wang's high-yielding grain seeds, they did not dare to rashly order Wang's wheat seeds due to their years of cooperation with the Zuoqiu family. Instead, they still chose to order Zuoqiu's wheat seeds. Shi's wheat species.

As a result, the price of Zuoqiu's wheat seed rose, and those aristocratic families who were still on the sidelines immediately quit.

Zuoqiu's grains were not cheap in the first place, and with this price increase, their family's profits would be greatly reduced, making a little more than buying ordinary grains sold by the Holy Land Academy.

At present, many aristocratic families canceled the wheat seeds they had reserved with the Zuoqiu family in a fit of anger, and secretly purchased the high-yielding wheat seeds of the Wang family.

And with the formation of this wave, even those aristocratic families who were firmly on the side of the Zuoqiu family couldn't sit still.

Other aristocratic families grow the Wang family's high-yield grain seeds and earn a lot of money, but their family also grows the Zuoqiu family's grain seeds. What if the grain cannot be sold due to the weakening of competitiveness in the future

Unknowingly, the team of aristocratic families buying Wang's wheat seeds gradually grew stronger and gradually swept the entire Qing'an County.

After more than a month.

Zuoqiu Guanyu has finished his copy of "Pointing to the River and Mountain Picture", brewing a pot of tea, admiring his own painting happily.

He is not only one of the family's celestial beings, but also the head of the family, so he naturally has expectations for the future. This copy painting contains his ambition and expectation.

"Patriarch, something is wrong with the Patriarch."

Lao An hurried into the study to report, with a panicked expression on his face, he said: "The granaries all over the guards have sent news that many aristocratic families have refused to buy our premium wheat seeds. The warehouse can't be vacated, and the spiced rice seeds can't be put into the warehouse. .”

"What?" Zuoqiu Guanyu frowned slightly, "Impossible, although there should indeed be some aristocratic families who are stubbornly resisting, but now the best season for planting winter wheat is almost past, are those aristocratic families crazy, are they all planting ordinary grains? gone?"

"That's not the case." Lao An said with a pale face, "Some aristocratic families refused to buy it before, and I have already investigated it. Now the matter has been clarified. I don't know when, there are several brand-new wheat varieties on the market. What are they called? No. 27 barley, No. 43 barley, and No. 59 barley! They each have their own advantages, but rumors say that the yield of each is at least 30% higher than our Yuzhi barley!"

"Thirty percent high? Or at least..." Zuoqiu Guanyu jumped up all of a sudden, in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Suddenly, something seemed to flash through his mind.

He thumped in his heart: "Wait, why does the name of this wheat species sound so familiar?"

An ominous premonition rose from the back of Zuoqiu Guanyu's head, feeling chilly.
