Time flew by, and it was noon on May 18, 1937...

One or two hundred men drove the carriage to the forest outside the village of Pimple Village, and they were discussing: Wang Shihua asked 20 young men from each of the seven villages and five carriages to come, but they were allowed to enter the village.

Outside the entrance of the Cow Cave on the back mountainside, twenty-five security chiefs from various villages and villages had just come out of the cave. Everyone understood the significance of the pumping truck they had just seen for their own family, and their faces were excited for a while.

"Everyone, how do you feel about the pumping truck?"

"Family master, you have a far-sighted vision and purchased a large amount of grain in advance, which makes our Wang family occupy the time. Now, with this pumping truck, our Wang family will not only not worry about this year, but also have a harvest next year, which will take advantage of the geographical advantage. Now, our royal family has taken advantage of the right time, place and people, and the foundation of the world has been laid in your hands. As he spoke, the ninth master threw away his crutches, tidied up his clothes, bowed to Wang Shihua with a straight face, and shouted with tears: "Congratulations to the head of the family, congratulations to the head of the family, my Wang family's soaring momentum is unstoppable; The eternal inheritance of my royal family is already predictable; The heyday of my royal family has come..."

Everyone also hurriedly learned from the ninth master, bowed to Wang Shihua collectively, and shouted: "Congratulations to the head of the family, congratulations to the head of the family, my Wang family's soaring momentum is unstoppable; The eternal inheritance of my royal family is already predictable; The heyday of my royal family has come..."

"Huh... Ha... Ha ...... "Wang Shihua's heroic crossed waist looked up to the sky and laughed. After everyone congratulated, he symbolically helped everyone up and said with a smile: "This is all the credit of your strong support for Shihua." In the future, the genealogy will definitely leave a grand mark for you. Ha... Ha ......"

The crowd burst into laughter.

If you give a sweet date, you have to beat a stick, this is the only way to discipline your subordinates...

Wang Shihua said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "However, this pumping truck and the soft water truck both determine the harvest of my Wang family next year and the harvest of outsiders, and I hope you will keep it as secret as possible." ”

"Don't worry, master, everyone knows the importance of this thing...... The old man assures you that if there is a problem on the old man's side, you don't have to do it, and the old man himself will wipe his neck with a knife. ”

The ninth master took the lead, and everyone responded.

"That's fine. In addition to the one in Pimple Village, there are four pumping trucks and three soft water trucks below. According to the list that I read to you at the meeting in the morning, I will collect the most water-scarce first, and I will try my best to complete the rest. ”

How dare everyone be meaningful?

But at this moment, he saw a guard running in a hurry, and while handing the telegram in his hand to Wang Shihua, he hurriedly said: "The master of the family, the big thing is not good, locusts ...... The plague of locusts is coming. ”

You can write the telegram as a letter, this telegram is very detailed: Sanhu Village is the westernmost village in the Xiangjia sphere of influence, with the Li family in the north and the Wang family in the south. This morning, a group of children went to the entrance of the village to fetch water, walked through more than 10 acres of fields, saw that the withered yellow rice was full of locusts, picked up a thin bamboo pole and swept it, and immediately countless locusts flew up. After watching the swarms of locusts rise from the sky and the sun, the children were stunned with fright, and then they cried and reported to the adults...... As soon as the Xiang family received the report, they immediately reported it to the government, and at the same time sent fast horses to convey the news to several other families...... Dealing with locusts is a matter of working together.

After reading the telegram, I looked up and was about to speak, but I saw that everyone around me was pale, their eyes were frightened, and their bodies were trembling slightly. Wang Shihua sighed in his heart: no matter how much preparation he made, the people were still inherently afraid of the locust plague. This is not what you want, you must boost morale in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and fight against locusts together.

"What are you doing with sad faces?"

"Master, locust...... When the locusts are coming, how can we be happy? ”

Even the ninth master speaks like this, let alone others.

"Huh... Ha... After attracting everyone's attention, Wang Shihua smiled and said: "Ninth Master, the locust plague is a disaster for others, but for our Wang family, this is a great good thing, and God is helping our Wang family take off..."

A few people bowed their heads in contemplation, and most of them looked at Wang Shihua in confusion: That's a locust plague...

"Seeing that you are all nervous, I don't want to think about it, didn't I buy so much food to deal with locusts?" Wang Shihua looked at everyone with a smile and said: "It's good that the locusts are here, and if you eat up all the qiqi outside, we will be left with food in our Wang family, and when the time comes, who will dare not give my Wang family face?" ”

Seeing that everyone's feelings gradually settled down, Wang Shihua laughed proudly, laughing like a little fox: "I'll tell you the truth, don't tell it." Not counting the grain stored by your households, the grain I purchased alone is millions of catties. Don't talk about our one Wang family, even if there are ten more Wang families, it will be enough to eat until next autumn's harvest. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded: Although everyone didn't know how much grain Wang Shihua had purchased, and whether it was Wang Shihua's bragging, it was an indisputable fact that there were mountains of big granaries in Lao Sicheng and Wangjiaping, as well as in Xiao Wangjiaping. The granaries in those three places alone are enough for the Wang family to eat for a few years.

The Ninth Master was the first to come to his senses, and shouted with a smile: "It's still the head of the family who is far-sighted, so that my Wang family can take the lead." The old man dares to say: From the day I established the Wang family to the present, there is no family head who can compare to you. With so much food, what do we have to worry about? ”

"Uncle Nine is right... With so much food, the bigger the locust plague, the better, so even if my Wang family wants not to take advantage of the situation, it will be impossible. ”

"Yes... is still the head of the family who is wise and martial, and he saw through the sky early. ”

"That's natural, the head of the family is the reincarnation of the eight great gods (it used to be sent down by the eight great gods, and now it is treated higher by mythology), what is it to see through the heavens? In the future, as long as we follow the head of the family, we will have a good life. ”

Seeing that everyone was going to lead the topic in the direction of mythology, although Wang Shihua listened proudly and wanted to continue listening, he was a little boastful of being boasted by his own family, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to keep this news secret, and I have to make a good fuss about it."

"Don't worry, the family law is there, whoever dares to say it, you can directly destroy his whole family."

Under the leadership of the ninth master, everyone swore swearing.

"Family master, what are you going to do next, if there is anything you need our cooperation, you give the order directly, and we will all respect the order..."

"Let's talk about it first, although we can't eat all this batch of grain ourselves, we can't send it all at once, we have to send it monthly."

Jiu Ye smiled: "This is nature. If it is distributed all at once, some people with wrong minds will take the risk of selling the grain to outsiders. Not only does it cheapen outsiders for nothing, but it also spoils your big thing, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Everyone agreed.

Wang Shihua nodded solemnly, agreeing with this point of view. He said with a smile: "That's what I plan: Each village is calculated according to the household, and each household can buy up to 30 catties of grain at the price of one dime and five cents per month. ”

Everyone nodded silently, and they all looked at Wang Shihua eagerly, because according to the family's previous practice: these grains were collected by them to the head of the family, and then distributed to the households...... The oil and water in the middle, that's a lot bigger. In this regard, although Wang Shihua knows it, he is helpless.

"Of course, everyone works hard, so naturally everyone can't work in vain."

These words caused everyone to nod their heads in unison, and their faces were more smiling and their eyes were more eager.

"So, I'm going to sell it to you for two cents a pound." After speaking, some people were happy, and some people lowered their heads and calculated how much they could earn from it. Wang Shihua sneered in his heart, but his face was extremely solemn and threatened: "This time it is a drought and a locust plague together, and the disaster is strict, I have to take care of you and my clansmen." Therefore, I will talk about the ugly words in front: I have set aside your hard work, if anyone dares to have evil intentions, is not satisfied, only wants to make money and does not care about the life and death of the people, and ruins my reputation Wang Shihua, then you had better ask God to bless you not to be discovered by me. Otherwise, I'll find out that I'm going to raid them together. When the time comes, don't talk about my Wang Shihua's unsympathy and kill his whole family. ”

Wang Shihua has hoarded nearly two million catties of grain, and the price at the time of purchase is three to five cents, plus labor costs, according to the average of six cents, it is also doubled. And now the price of grain outside is five cents and five cents, and selling one's own talents for one and five cents can be said to be the price of cabbage.

In Wang Shihua's calculations, he hoarded two million catties of grain, plus the grain that each household hoarded after this year's bumper harvest, it would definitely exceed four million catties. The Wang family now has only 3,000 and 400 households, with a population of about 15,000 people. According to everyone's habit of eating half a catty of grain, sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, etc., plus the Wang family also buys grain from other places in a steady stream, which is enough to eat for two or three years.

And how to deal with the extra grain is another important purpose of Wang Shihua's hoarding of grain: the Wang family now lacks nothing, but there is a shortage of people. The famine must have caused a large flow of people, and at this time, the role of the royal family's food came...... If you want to eat, okay... Join the Wang family and ensure that you have something to eat.

"The head of the house is right." The ninth master is the oldest, and Wang Shihua is present, which is his oldest. He turned back to the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, we all speak of conscience. In the past, when there was a famine, everyone took some hard money from the food allocated by the clan, and they had to hide it, for fear of being discovered. But now, the head of the family takes care of everyone and openly gives everyone hard money. If we are not satisfied, we will cause chaos to the head of the family and destroy the great cause of the head of the family, and when the time comes, don't talk about the anger of the head of the family, even ourselves, we will not have the face to see our ancestors after death. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought that it was good to take advantage of it openly, at least not secretly. So, they all responded.

"Of course, this is our common secret, and we hope that everyone will keep it strictly confidential."

No one is stupid, and this is an open secret that we naturally have to defend together.

Immediately, Wang Shihua finally revealed the tip of the iceberg in his entire plan, revealing his hideous fangs......
