***Fishing Brigade***

Small fishing boats: 9

Medium-sized fishing boat: 1

Boat workers and fishers: 46

Family leader: Wang Dinghai

Average annual income for the first five years: 606 dry gold

Average annual expenditure for the first five years: 385 dry gold

Average annual net profit for the first five years: 221 dry gold

The average annual catch of spirit fish in the first five years: 400 catties

Improvement Direction: Develop Mixed Fishing Operations with Multiple Fishing Gears

Goals for this year:

Net profit goal: 1000 dry gold

Spirit fish target: 1000 catties

This is the simple panel of the fishing brigade, which records the financial data of Wang Shouzhe before he took office, and also has the direction of improvement, as well as the profit target for this year.

According to Wang Shouzhe's estimation, this goal is easy to achieve. After all, it is now the peak season, and there is a shortage of food this year due to insect infestation. As a partial substitute for staple food, the price of fish is bound to rise.

For the two industries of fishing brigade and fish stalls, Wang Shouzhe's total profit target is 2,000 dry gold.

However, the only problem is that after the fishing brigade increases its catch, it is very likely that the ecological balance will be gradually destroyed, although there will be no major problems within a few years.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all.

For a Xuanwu family, a long-term and stable source of income is the real pillar industry. The short-term huge profits can only be used as a supplement to the family business.

An industry like Fenggu Farm is a real century-old foundation, and it can even provide a steady stream of resources for a Xuanwu family for hundreds of years.

this point is very important.

There is no shortage of huge profits in the world of Xuanwu. Miracles such as picking up treasures by luck, or encountering the legacy of a certain predecessor, or encountering two high-level beasts that perish together, etc., will make you violent overnight. rich.

But what about after getting rich? No amount of resources will be exhausted, only the foundation can last forever.

Take Wang Shouzhe himself as an example. He is now eighteen years old and is at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He now consumes nearly 200 dry gold per year. According to the family's estimation, he could reach the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm in about twenty years. At that time, he was only thirty-eight years old, which belonged to the age of fighting.

Even if the resources of 200 dry gold remain unchanged, it will take 4000 dry gold for a full twenty years.

Of course, it is impossible to remain unchanged. When he reaches the seventh and eighth levels of the Qi Refining Realm, the resources consumed every year will increase rapidly. Even at his current level, to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, at least 8,000 dry gold resources will be consumed.

Where do these resources come from? They are all squeezed out bit by bit from the annual output of the family's major industries. Those family properties that can continuously produce and benefit for a long time are the real family business.

It is also precisely because of this that with the current situation of the Wang family, they have no strength to cultivate a second Wang Shouzhe. Otherwise, even if the aptitude is slightly inferior, as long as they are willing to invest resources, they can also produce a young master.

In fact, if Wang Shouzhe was doubled or tripled, the cost of resource investment would not even be considered. It wouldn't take him twenty years to reach the peak of Qi Refining Realm, maybe fifteen years, or even ten years or less.

This is why it is difficult for casual cultivators to achieve success. Loose cultivators are rootless and traceless. Maybe they are lucky enough to get a resource, but if they are unlucky, they may even go hungry.

The casual cultivators who can cultivate to the Lingtai state, either have aptitude against the sky plus luck, or luck is overwhelming.

Therefore, although Wang Shouzhe's resources of more than 10,000 dry gold seem to be a lot, it is just the total expenditure for several years under the current family's tight life. If it is not planned, at most it will set the Wang family on fire, but it will lack stamina.

Wang Shouzhe looked at the "simple system panel" he made and his mind was running fast. How to spend money wisely is something he has been thinking about for the past few days.

What is the family missing the most? Of course, there is a lack of a strong spirit platform. In this way, it can replace Longyan's ancestor and become the family's protective umbrella for a long time. After all, Patriarch Longyan's injuries have never healed, and the situation is getting worse.

But is more than 10,000 dry gold resources enough to support a spiritual platform? That is of course far from possible. If the Lingtai Realm powerhouses were so cheap, the problem would have been easily solved with the overall financial resources of the Pingan Wang family.

Even, the ancestors of the Lingtai realm of all Xuanwu families will be flooded. Therefore, this option can already be crossed out without consideration.

Use all this money to develop the family property...

Wang Shouzhe has also pondered this question carefully, but how much family property can more than 10,000 dry gold develop? You must know that some industries called pillar family properties are famous for their large scale, long development cycle, and relatively low input and output.

Just like Wang's Fenggu Farm, how much painstaking effort and funds have been invested by the predecessors? But what is his normal annual benefit? If the times are better, a net profit of seven or eight hundred thousand gold is not bad.

In the long run, it is inevitable to increase investment in pillar industries. But far away water can't quench the near thirst, so Wang Shouzhe drew a circle on this idea for the time being, and waited to see.

Or, buy a large amount of cultivation resources to supply yourself and potential clansmen

Wang Shouzhe had naturally considered this point.

But there is still a marginal effect that is getting tighter and tighter. If you let Wang Shouzhe drink Xiaopeiyuan Dan every day, can he cultivate to the Lingtai state after drinking it for several years

Obviously not... Let alone the Lingtai Realm, even the ninth floor of the Qi Refining Realm is not necessarily the case.

Even if he can spend resources viciously and cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm in just a few years, so what? Can it solve the fundamental problem of family survival

Even the young man with the best qualifications in his family can't do it, let alone other members of the family

The sixth grandfather, Wang Xiaohan, once failed to hit the Lingtai Realm. Although his condition has declined with age, he only stays on the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but he is no longer at the peak state of the past. If he is given sufficient resources and confidence, he will also have the opportunity to return to the peak of Qi refining and hit the spiritual platform again. This is the fastest way Wang Shouzhe can think of to add a spiritual platform ancestor to his family.

But this resource is still far from enough compared to gathering the resources to attack the Lingtai Realm. What's more, if the sixth grandfather Wang Xiaohan's mental state and physical state are to be adjusted to a state that can hit the Lingtai realm, it will definitely not be achieved overnight.

Wang Shouzhe thought about it, if this money can find a way to heal the ancestor Longyan's wounds, save his life or something, it should be the most urgent thing.

But it is very obvious that it is absolutely impossible to completely cure Patriarch Longyan with this money alone. If she could be cured by spending more than 10,000 dry gold, the family would have already done so.

Therefore, even if she can be cured, the cost of curing her must be far more than supporting one or more spiritual stage powerhouses.

Perhaps a large sum of money was invested to alleviate her injuries and prolong her life.

Let's list it as a backup option first, Wang Shouzhe frowned and thought.

I really envy those traversers who have the real golden finger system, any difficulty can be solved with the golden finger, all they need to do is giggle and play around all day long, and they can stop people from killing Buddhas, and they can spend as much as they want.

It's not like him, if you have a little money, you still have to think about how to use it wisely. From the high-level cultivation of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, at a certain stage in such a small realm, it takes several months to practice and polish slowly. This is because he has relatively rich resources and speed Far beyond others.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this world is quite real, and the road to the strong has always been one step at a time.

While he was thinking wildly, the aunt Gongsun Hui sent her maid Xia He to come, saying that it was the ancestor Longyan who summoned him to meet him.

Ancestor Longyan summoned

Wang Shouzhe was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his spirits. In recent years, the ancestor has often retreated, and has rarely summoned the family children all the year round. Even Wang Dingyue's funeral did not show up, which shows that her physical condition is not very good.

Even Wang Shouzhe, the most favored of the seventh generation, hasn't seen the ancestor for more than a year. On weekdays, it is the aunt Gongsun Hui who takes care of the ancestor.

"Thank you Miss Xia He." Wang Shouzhe was quite polite to Xia He.

Xia He hastily saluted: "Patriarch, you are being polite. If Patriarch has nothing important to do, then follow me to see the ancestor."

She is Gongsun Hui's close friend, who has been trained since she was nine years old and is now nineteen years old. Although he has no cultivation qualifications, he is quite intelligent, literate, and proficient in Jiuzhang arithmetic.

Many of the aunt's accounts were calculated and summed up with her help.

subsequently.

Wang Shouzhe followed Xia He all the way to the side courtyard. The side courtyard where Longyan's ancestor lived in seclusion was closer to Zhuwei Lake. Not long after, Wang Shouzhe arrived at the side courtyard named Longyanju.

In order not to disturb the ancestor Longyan's Qingxiu, the area around here is a family forbidden area, and no one is allowed to trespass without the ancestor's call.

Gongsun Hui was already waiting at the gate of Longyanju. After the two met, she said in a crisp voice: "Old Ancestor, Shou Zhe has come."

"Shouzhe, come in."

A calm voice sounded softly at the door.

"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Shouzhe took a deep breath, calmed down a little, opened the door and stepped into Longyan Residence.

This is a quaint courtyard with simple decoration without luxury. In the courtyard, some ordinary flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere are simply planted, swaying slightly with the breeze.

In the gazebo, a thin woman stood leaning on a railing and watched the garden. Her back was facing Wang Shouzhe, and her long white hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Seeing this snow-white long hair, Wang Shouzhe's heart ached inexplicably. That was a deep memory from his predecessor. When Wang Shouzhe was young, he clearly remembered that the hair of the ancestor Longyan was only half white.

It's only been a short ten years, and it's all gone.

Wang Shouzhe's throat was slightly choked, and he went forward to salute and said, "Shouzhe pays homage to the ancestor."
