......

After two almost identical scenes in a row, Chen Fangjie felt unbearable and felt a little boring.

It was Wang Mei, but she seemed to be happy with it, but she was even more energetic, obviously she liked this kind of day, this is a talent.

Where could Wang Shouzhe expect that this mediocre general, Wang Mei, would start to covet him when he had nothing to do.

Here's the thing.

Overall, Wang Shouzhe is satisfied with the completion of the second phase of the task. not only paid a high price of 40,000 quintals of old grain, but also planted a fatal seed in the hearts of Liu Yongzhou and Zhao Dingtian to serve the third plan in the future.

Subsequently, according to the original plan, the Donggang Chen used two large merchant ships, and specially removed the markings. And the Wang family also transported the grain to Fenggu Farm in advance, and used a lot of manpower to transport the grain to a large merchant ship overnight.

Although the food is transported back and forth, it seems to be a waste of manpower and material resources. But in such a special period, a little more cautious, a little more safe.

The most important thing for a Xuanwu family that can be passed down from generation to generation is not profiteering, but a word.

Steady!

It is not easy to achieve stability, but in the final analysis, there are two general directions, the ability to avoid risks, and the ability to resist risks.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family was in internal and external troubles now, Wang Shouzhe really didn't want to engage with the Liu family and the Zhao family so quickly. He hopes more to be able to manage the overall situation, lay out the long-term line, and finally crush people with the general trend.

However, in the current situation, he can only find a way to achieve the best solution.

Time passes day by day.

this day.

Wang Shouzhe cultivated as usual, and when he went to the martial arts arena at the end of the day, his eyes flashed with some irrepressible essence, and the aura on his body became fierce.

"Family Master, have you broken through?" Wang Gui felt the powerful aura and said in surprise.

"I just broke through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Wang Shouzhe was calm, but he couldn't help but be a little happy. Some time ago, Bian had already reached the peak of the sixth layer, and after some time of consolidation and polishing, he felt something in his heart tonight, and directly swallowed a [Pei Yuan Dan], and pinched the spirit stone in his hand to sprint.

Because of the deep accumulation, coupled with resources and luck, I hit the success in one go.

From today onwards, he, Wang Shouzhe, is the strength of the late stage of Qi refining.

Eighteen years old, seventh layer of Qi Refining Realm!

Looking at the entire Changningwei, it is also a very good result. Back then, Longyan Ancestor had only reached such an achievement at the age of eighteen, only half a year earlier than him.

Just broke through, the quality and quantity of Xuan Qi, as well as the physical fitness, have been significantly improved.

In the following days, it is necessary to cultivate well and stabilize and familiarize yourself with the new level of strength as soon as possible. However, if you want to cultivate to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, the difficulty is not half a star, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

In the martial arts training field, Wang Shouzhe practiced Xuanwu combat skills, body techniques, swordsmanship, and string control skills. Obviously, I can feel that I am much stronger than the original, and I dare not say that I can beat the original two selves, but I feel that I can barely beat two ordinary Qi Refining Realm sixth layers. The premise is that it is more ordinary......

After some cultivation, until the sun was a little hot, and the muscles and bones of his whole body were already sore, Wang Shouzhe went back to take a bath.

Then he brewed a small pot of Shanyang Little Spirit Seed in the side hall, and began to deal with some miscellaneous things.

"Family master, these are all information about the Liu family and the Zhao family in recent days. Wang Gui presented some letter information.

Wang Shouzhe flipped through the information, his brows gradually wrinkled, and when he saw the end, with a "bang", he slammed the slap on the table, and his eyes were full of coldness: "The jackal family is really a jackal family, and it can't hide the greed and cruelty in its bones." ”

Although Wang Shouzhe had already expected that once the Liu and Zhao clans began to implement the merger strategy, their methods would inevitably not be gentle. But they don't want to be so greedy that their methods can be so bad.

Take the Liu clan as an example, there are about less than 2,000 households under their influence, and the total number of fertile land has reached 30,000 or 40,000 mu. These yeoman farmers have been severely affected by this insect plague, and there are even many families who are not doing well in their business and their families are empty of grain after receiving grain.

But among these peasant households, there were also many middle peasants, even rich peasants.

They have a relatively wealthy family and habitually hoard some food. Therefore, although the yeoman farmers in the region as a whole are still short of food, they can barely survive the disaster year by borrowing from each other and working hard.

But as soon as Liu intervened, he first started to arrest a group of middle peasant heads who were hoarding grain. Because they dared to lend grain privately to others, and they also dared to make a contract to borrow twice as much grain after the autumn harvest and pay it back.

In the end, those middle peasants had to contribute part of their land to obtain Liu's "understanding".

This is enough, some rich families see that the villagers are pitiful, and take the initiative to help the blind date of the young and yellow, and do not charge half of the interest.

This undoubtedly violated the fundamental interests of the Liu family, and they secretly recruited some scoundrels in casual cultivation, and went to the homes of those rich people who did charity every day to make trouble, and also asked for "relief", which made those rich families shrink back one after another to protect themselves.

There is also a rich family with hard bones, who still secretly helps others. As a result, a group of loose cultivators touched the door at night, and more than a dozen people in the family, old and young, were all killed.

Liu's purpose is only one, that is, to let those families who have run out of ammunition and grain mortgage their land in exchange for their old grain. According to intelligence, so far, although not many yeoman farmers have done this.

However, as time goes by, the "famine" with human factors becomes more and more serious, and sooner or later, some people will not be able to endure it, and eventually replace the land with old grain whose prices have "skyrocketed".

In order to avoid the consequences of a large number of displaced people, the areas are usually blocked, and it is difficult for civilians to move around each other. It also brought all kinds of convenience to Liu's plan.

Liu wanted "not much", that is, he just wanted to annex one-tenth of the land in the jurisdiction. The methods are cruel and ferocious, and after two months, they will definitely be able to do it.

Of course, as a family, the Liu family will not violate the law of Daqian on the surface.

They will adopt the method of "Tantai and Jade" to trade with the Liu family, which is called Qianjin mortgage loan, and the custody will not leave a crime on the paperwork.

This is the so-called policy at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom. Especially the family in the countryside, to those commoners, it is like the existence of the emperor of the soil. If you don't want to be embarrassed, you really do whatever you want.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe regretted a little and regretted that he had "sold" Chen Liang to Liu's Zhao.

But this thought was only fleeting, even if he didn't make a move, the Liu and Zhao clans would still get food from other places and stage the same plan. On the contrary, it is equivalent to funding their fox friends and dogs, and it will also let the situation get out of control.

"The people's grievances have risen, so Wang Zhong was notified to close the net and start a sniper plan. At the same time, find out the whereabouts of that group of people who have gone to work. Wang Shouzhe had a gloomy face and wrote a secret order for the family general to send out.

Although it is delayed any longer, the accumulation of public resentment will be even worse, and it will be more beneficial to Wang's future plan to start sniping when the public discontent is at its peak. But again, it is highly likely to lead to more tragedies for civilian families.

After dealing with this matter, he drank a few cups of Yangshan Little Spirit Seed before his emotions calmed down.

"Don't forget that the second young master of the Liu family will come to visit today. Wang Gui observed his words and reminded cautiously.

Second Young Master of the Liu Family?

After this reminder, Wang Shouzhe remembered that he received a letter from the Liu family a few days ago, saying that Liu Yuanrui, the second son of the head of the Liu clan, planned to arrive at Dingpu Ferry at noon today and came to visit the Wang family.

Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan, the daughter of the Liu family, have a marriage contract. According to etiquette, the Wang clan was to send someone with the appropriate status to greet him. Such reception tasks are usually entrusted to the patriarch's son-in-law.

It's just that Wang Shouzhe hasn't married a wife yet, and Liu Yuanrui is his future brother-in-law, so he can only go to meet him in person.

Prepare the carriage, prepare some melons and fruits, and call two generals.

A group of people headed towards the Dingpu Ferry, and the carriage passed by the outside of Zhuwei Lake.

At this time, the shore of Zhuwei Lake has changed, and hundreds of young and strong tenant farmers of the Wang family have been photographed here, cleaning the reeds on the periphery of Zhuwei Lake, leveling the land, and building greenhouses.

The person who presides over this work is the third child of the word-keeping generation - Wang Shounuo. The tanned, tall and strong young man was originally organizing the young man to unload some wood and stone, and when he saw Wang Shouzhe's carriage, he said hello from afar and continued to work.

These sheds built are for the next plan, and when I saw that the third child was busy, I naturally didn't bother.

The carriage continued to sway, all the way to the Dingpu Ferry.

At this ferry, the Wang family also has some shops and ferry business. However, most of them are entrusted to the management of the Wang family, and they are all hard work such as transportation, and there is not much profit.

Wang Shouzhe went straight to the deep-water trestle, and after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, he saw a ferry coming.

From afar, Wang Shouzhe greeted him with a smile: "Yuanrui is coming, Shouzhe is disrespectful, rude, forgive and forgive sins." ”

Liu Yuanrui is not yet sixteen years old this year, although his face is a little immature, but under the background of the strong costume, he is also quite handsome as a heroic young man.

He also smiled and walked quickly, shaking his hand and returning the salute: "Yuan Rui has seen Brother Shouzhe, it was Yuanrui who took the liberty to come to chatter, and please forgive Brother Shouzhe." "He is personable, and his temperament is like a spring breeze and makes people feel comfortable.

The children of the Xuanwu family, especially the descendants, have received elite education since childhood, and the requirements for behavior and etiquette are very strict. It's not that there is no such thing as a child of a family who causes trouble everywhere, is full of anger, and often crooks his mouth and bars his teeth to provoke, but it is very rare. At least in front of people, they will inevitably behave personable and well-educated.

Just when the two were greeting.

A pretty girl's voice came from behind Liu Yuanrui: "Brother-in-law, you look better than I imagined." ”

Brother-in-law?
