Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 40: Obsession with Goldfinger

Views:

The next five or six days were spent in peace and without waves.

On the grain transportation line, Gongsun Qiang and Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai took the lead in completing their task. In return, Wang Shouzhe promised Gongsun Qiang that the last wave of Chen Liang could be shipped back to the Gongsun family. Of course, it will be charged and sold to the Gongsun family at a fair price.

In the end, that "cheap uncle" was also a "ruthless man". He even took the miner's shoulders to carry the overloaded carriage, and brought back a full three thousand dan. The next day, he couldn't wait to send someone to send over two hundred thousand gold for the purchase of grain, as if he was afraid that Wang Shouzhe would go back on his word.

No wonder he was ruthless, the disaster in the entire Changning Guard was getting more and more violent. A Xuanwu family who has the ability to invite a spirit insect master, or has the means to spend a lot of money to buy a large amount of insecticide powder can still be stable.

But most of the poor families are not so lucky, and the fields are full of insects. We can only rely on a large amount of plant ash juice to kill insects, but in the face of more and more honey worms, the effect is limited, and large-scale production reduction is inevitable.

And Wang Shouzhe also heard some worse news, the disaster is very likely to have spread outside Longzuo County. Then next, food is more "valuable" in your hands.

At the same time, Wang Shouzhe was not idle.

Daily practice is essential, because he has eaten too well recently, and his body is full of qi and blood. He can clearly feel his daily cultivation base, and he is firmly moving towards the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm step by step.

Of course, the road to cultivation is not easy, it is a process of gradual transformation and strengthening of the body, and it takes time and effort to move forward bit by bit.

He also wants to be like the protagonists in those fantasy worlds in novels, taking medicine every day, and exploding one by one at random. Or use a sword to kill chickens and dogs, and experience points will soar.

But in his world, these are all fantasy. No matter who's cultivation level is, it comes from continuous cultivation by relying on the kung fu of water dripping through stone.

Besides practicing, Wang Shouzhe was still working on his system panel.

Since there is no system in time travel, you can only make some soil system panels by yourself.

The first is family expenses.

Before clearing the board, Wang Shouzhe was quite vague about the family's expenses, but after checking with the aunt's account book, he was really surprised. It turned out that the family's expenses were so huge.

Take the offerings and resources that Wang Shouzhe enjoyed when he was the patriarch now.

General supplies allocated each year:

300 catties of polished rice (24 copper), 150 catties of refined noodles (15 large copper), 200 catties of various vegetables (8 large copper), 400 catties of melon and fruit (48 large copper), 20 catties of candied fruit (20 large copper), pig meat 250 catties of meat (75 copper), 150 catties of ordinary beef and mutton (60 copper), 100 chickens and ducks (60 copper), 30 geese (45 copper), 100 catties of eggs (20 copper), pig 20 catties of oil (8 large copper), 20 catties of refined soybean oil (12 large copper), 10 catties of fine soy sauce (20 large copper), 5 catties of fine salt (20 large copper), 1 catties of snowflake salt (10 large copper) , 10 catties of snowflake sugar (20 large coppers), 1 catty of seasoning spices (10 large coppers), 5 catties of incense (25 large coppers), 500 catties of refined wood charcoal (15 large coppers), 30 dan of firewood amortization (6 big copper), amortization of clothing and bedding (100 big copper), amortization of other daily necessities (20 big copper)

The annual consumption of Wang Shouzhe's ordinary materials alone has reached a full 6 thousand gold and 51 large copper. He looked at the list, and always felt that some of them were too edible, but when he thought about it carefully, he was really very edible.

He is about to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, and his appetite is far beyond that of ordinary people. Moreover, cultivation is not only about meditating and refining Qi, but also needs to practice Xuanwu combat skills, body skills, sword skills, string control, and riding skills, which consume a lot of physical energy.

These ordinary foods can barely satisfy him now. Aunt Gongsunhui often embezzles some of her salary to Wang Shouzhe.

Of course, this is just a small head, the big head is Wang Shouzhe's annual distribution of cultivation resources.

60 catties of spiritual rice (12 dry gold), 60 catties of spiritual fish (20 dry gold), 60 catties of spiritual meat (20 dry gold), 12 pieces of Xiaopei Yuandan (120 dry gold).

A total of 172 dry gold cultivation resources are only available to him every year. And as his cultivation level goes up, this part has to continue to increase. Otherwise, it would not be able to keep up with his consumption at all.

This is also the reason why Wang Shouzhe is about to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm at a young age. It is definitely not just because of his extraordinarily outstanding cultivation aptitude, but because the family has piled resources on him.

Just imagine, although the family's spirit fish are produced by their own fishing brigade, the average annual weight is only about 400 catties, and Wang Shouzhe alone has to occupy 60 catties.

As for spiritual meat, there are many sources, usually hunting or buying, because the Wang family does not have the financial resources and ability to raise spiritual horn yaks. For hunting, the family will organize an autumn and winter hunting one month after the autumn harvest every year, mainly to cultivate the ability of the family children and supplement some meat by the way.

But because they did not dare to go deep into the wilderness of the foreign lands, they rarely hunted ferocious beasts. At least the Wang family had not hunted ferocious beasts in five years of autumn and winter hunting. Therefore, Wang's main source of spiritual meat is purchased from outside, which is also a huge expense.

In addition, Wang Shouzhe is now the head of the patriarch, and he still has 5 thousand gold per month, and 60 thousand gold per year. He can use this private money as he pleases. As the head of the patriarch, there are many places that need personal money.

Therefore, just the direct consumption of Wang Shouzhe in a year now has to reach about 240 dry gold. This does not include the amortization of the maintenance of the house in the family, the expenses of carriages and horses, and the expenses of the special servants of the ration, because those are included in the other expenditure items of the family.

Therefore, once some accounts are calculated, it is an astronomical sum.

If he waits until he marries a regular wife, he will definitely not be able to give so much cultivation resources, about one-third of them. However, the consumption of food, clothing and support of the patriarch's official wife is the same as that of the patriarch, so it is another one hundred and tens of dry gold expenses.

In addition, the remaining expenses in the family are also very staggering.

All the blood clan members, including Wang Shouzhe, spent an average of about 1,800 dry gold per year. The total expenses and benefits of the nine families and their families reached nearly 350 dry gold.

There are still seven underage or young family members who are being cultivated, and the cost of these resources is about 80 dry gold. In addition, there are more than 100 family slaves, which are divided into several grades, with a total annual expenditure of about 170 dry gold.

The total consumption of these personnel in the family's main house alone reached 2,400 dry gold per year. Of course, not all of the 2,400 dry gold is the expenditure of dry gold, and a considerable part of it is resource supply, which is only measured by dry gold.

For example, the white jade spirit rice produced in the spiritual fields of the family's prosperous farm will be included in the farm's income account when this resource enters the family, and when it is distributed to someone in the form of resources, it will eventually be reflected in the value of dry gold.

Similarly, when some of the live fish, fresh fish, and spiritual fish produced by the fishing brigade of the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai enter the family, the income account will be recorded there, and the family will also record the expenditure account.

Of course, this kind of account only has material transactions, and there will be no real dry money on the account. Therefore, the so-called profit of the fishing brigade usually refers to the book profit, not the real money earned back. This part of the profits has been turned into materials and supplied to the family.

However, for such a large Xuanwu family, huge material expenses are obviously unavoidable. In fact, because the Ping'an Wang family is too poor, the overall expenses are already considered low. The ancestors of Longyan and the elders of the Xiaozi generation have already cut down on food and clothing, and tried to save money as much as possible.

Fortunately, in the family business, there are still three pillar industries.

Among them, Fenggu Farm, which is purely ordinary agriculture, is currently the industry with the lowest book income. The rest, like Xingsheng Farm, has a greater output value because it has 20 acres of spiritual land.

In addition, Xinmao Silkworm Farm mainly produces cocoons, and supplies them to Changning Xu's for a long time. Generally, the income is mostly dry gold.

The other two family businesses, Ping'an Wang's fish stall and fishing brigade, are managed by juniors, and their income in previous years is far inferior to the three pillar industries.

However, this year's fishing brigade and Wang's fish stall, after Wang Shouzhe's toss, must be taking off. Even if the income exceeds the pillar industry, it is not uncommon.

And this year, Fenggu Farm, which is the largest grain-producing farm, will also usher in a glorious moment due to the arrival of the insect plague.

What's more, Wang Shouzhe brazenly made a big move based on the little information about the insect disaster. That wave of net income of more than 10,000 dry gold was enough to bring qualitative changes to the Wang family who was living a tight life.

Wang Shouzhe felt a sense of pride when he thought of the large pile of golden tickets and the food piled up in the backyard!

The Ping An Wang family is bound to take off!

After calming down, Wang Shouzhe focused on the self-built soil system panel.

The first is the main interface.

Family name: Longzuo Changning Ping'an Wang family

After finishing this, even Wang Shouzhe felt that he played too many games and read too many system novels in his previous life. If I didn't create a "system panel", I would feel uncomfortable all over.

However, this system is still relatively simple, consisting of sheets of paper panels, and there are still many templates that need to be added slowly.

"Click to view the details." Wang Shouzhe pretended to click on the family business, and then jumped to the family business details page.

In fact, he just dug out the small book of the family business... or he perforated it himself...
