Chapter 33: A Turning Point in Fate

......

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat, and he thought of those hungry civilians, what would they do in order to survive when they couldn't buy food with dry gold?

"This means that the more food the family has in their hands this time, the more they can control the situation. They can make up for their losses and make the family stronger by other means. Qian Xue'an is really an excellent businessman, and in just a few words, he will explain the disaster situation clearly in the future.

"Will the Great Qianguan Mansion and the Purple Mansion School Palace transfer grain from other states and counties, right?" Wang Shouzhe was an earthling after all, and he still couldn't bear to see civilians suffer.

"Yes. But the grain needs to go to the counties to procure, transport, and sell it at a reasonable price. Qian Xue'an said solemnly, "In fact, from today onwards, the Purple Mansion School Palace and the government have begun to launch disaster relief, but it is almost impossible to rescue the entire Longzuo County in a short period of time." Especially our Changningwei is located in a remote ......"

He saw Wang Shouzhe's brows furrowed, so he persuaded him: "Brother, my brother knows that you have a good heart, but in fact, my brother can't bear to see this scene." But we have thin arms and thin legs, and it would be good to take care of ourselves at this juncture. ”

"Brother Qian is right, I'm a little hypocritical. Wang Shouzhe naturally knew this truth, and said with relief, "Then according to what my brother means, I should let the firm pay me three times the contract price?"

"Brother, you have to understand. Even if the compensation is tripled, it is a breach of contract by Qian's Commercial Bank. If it is not necessary, the firm is absolutely not willing to spoil the credibility of the default. Qian Xue'an blinked his eyes and said, "I'll give you a number, and I will revoke the contract only if I insist on 10,000 dry gold and 3,000 dry gold worth of grain." ”

"What?"

Wang Shouzhe's eyelids twitched, Qian Xue'an was more ruthless than him. According to his initial estimate, the other party would be satisfied that he could recover the contract at twice the price.

The price was more than three times the indemnity, and the grain of 3,000 gold was worth more.

"Anyway, you have already offended the current shopkeeper of the Qian firm, so it is better to simply step on the line and offend a little harder. Qian Xue'an said with a smile, "Besides, even at this price, the Qian family will not lose, and it can still make a profit." ”

This Qian Xue'an said it makes sense, but is it really good to put his family to death like this?

As if seeing through Wang Shouzhe's thoughts, Qian Xue'an explained seriously: "First, the Qian family is too big, and the compensation of 10,000 or 20,000 dry gold is a drop in the bucket. Second, I'm just a concubine, and if I don't have your help, I won't be able to climb up in my life, even if I give you a little kindness. Thirdly, I very much hope that Brother Shouzhe will become stronger, and that it will be more beneficial to the covenant if you are stronger. ”

"Okay, then let's do it. With such huge benefits, Wang Shouzhe cannot be refused. The Wang family is too poor now, and if there is such a huge injection of funds, it will be an opportunity to rise.

"That being the case, then Qian will operate this matter for my brother. Qian Xue'an seems to have made up his mind, "When I reported to the shopkeeper, I raised the price by another three percent, and then killed the price to comfort him in his heart." In addition, Brother Shouzhe also needs to swear not to publicize it to the outside world, and the Qian firm can't afford to lose this person. ”

Of course, it is not publicized, and it is the best choice to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Wang Shouzhe got up and arched his hand and said, "In this way, then there is Brother Lao." It is also necessary to add a condition, the exterminator is not allowed to be sold to the two families of Ping An Zhao and Ping An Liu. "For Wang Shouzhe, it is good to strengthen himself, but at the same time to weaken the enemy, that is the best.

"Even if I don't mention this condition, I will take it into account. Qian Xue'an replied with a smile, "What's more, under this disaster, there are more pests and less porridge." The Ping An Zhao family and the Ping An Liu family are only the last families, and it is extremely difficult to win the share of the exterminator. Congratulations, brother!"

In the eyes of the Ping An Wang family, both the Liu family and the Zhao family are very difficult and powerful. But in the eyes of the Qian firm, they were just two ordinary small families.

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

Both laughed, and the decision was settled.

Immediately, Qian Xue'an slammed the cup to the ground and roared and left: "Wang Shouzhe, you are too much, is it true that our Qian family is a vegetarian......?"

Then, in a huff, he strode away with the two silent guards outside the door.

Wang Shouzhe was also quite satisfied with Qian Xue'an's reaction and methods, and it seemed that this ally did not make a mistake.

At this moment, the second brother Wang Shouyi walked in worriedly: "Shouzhe, the head of that money has come to you several times in the past two days. Could it be that something is going on?"

Today's Wang family can't withstand too much wind and waves.

"Second brother, don't worry, it's a good thing for the family. Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, and then changed the topic, "By the way, how has the live fish equipment been studied in the past two days?"

As soon as this question was mentioned, Wang Shouyi came to the spirit: "Not to mention, Shouzhe, your idea is really unique and wonderful, just spraying to increase vitality, pump tube to change water and increase gas, etc., it is enough to change the aquatic product storage and transportation industry, I initially tried the effect is very good, and the next thing is to transform the carriage bucket, the breeding pond in the store." ”

"Then second brother, you must hurry up and build more breeding ponds in this backyard. Wang Shouzhe smiled, "Otherwise, the sixth uncle will definitely come to beat you." ”

"That's right, there have been more and more live fish on the sixth uncle's side in the past two days...... Wang Shouyi arched his hand, "Fourth brother, I'm out of company first." With that, Wang Shouyi ran out in a hurry.

Hehe, this Wang Shouyi's initiative is getting stronger and stronger, which is a good thing. It is no wonder that the momentum of the family will improve, which will stimulate the morale of the clan.

Wang Shouzhe attaches great importance to the two family properties of the fishing brigade and the fish stall. Originally, the sum of these two places was only four or five hundred dry gold per year. But after some suggestions and adjustments from him, it was easy to make a net profit of more than 1,000.

He is even confident that by next year, the fishing brigade and the fish stall will surpass the combined profitability of the three major farms.

Seizing the opportunity to hype up the exterminator and make a lot of money is certainly something to be happy about. However, the development of the family industry is the truly strong foundation of a family.

In addition, the grain worth 3,000 dry gold mentioned by Qian Xue'an also made Wang Shouzhe feel a little headache. It is not wrong to grasp the grain in a disaster year, that is, to grasp the opportunity.

But what is the concept of 3,000 dry gold grain storage? According to the current grain price, it is about 50,000 or 60,000 quintals, enough to feed 20,000 people for a year!

You must know that the total population of Ping'an Town is less than 30,000.

With such a huge amount of food, transportation and hoarding alone is a big problem. Among the major farms of the Ping'an Wang, there are naturally granaries. But those granaries have hoarded some old grain from the past year, and with the reserved space for this output, they are already seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and they will be stuffed with another 10,000 or 20,000 quintals.

But the solutions are all figured out by people.

At the beginning of the establishment of the main house, the ancestor of Zhou Xuan took into account the future development of the family, and there were fifty sets of courtyards for important clansmen alone, and the rest of the various houses added up to no less than hundreds.

Most of them are empty, and it is easy to pack up tens of thousands of loads of food a little. In a disaster year, there is no safer place than the main house of the Maison.

The main house of each family is built in a place where the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defensive strength is the strongest, and the food is placed there to make people feel at ease.

In addition, it was also mentioned earlier that the main residence of the Wang family was built by the mountains and rivers.

The nature of the mountain is the branch of Liuping Mountain, and the water is a small lake called Zhuwei Lake, which is named by the ancestor of Zhouxuan himself, and is the name of the queen Zhuwei of the ancestor of Zhouxuan.

Zhuwei Lake is not very large, covering no more than 10,000 acres of water, but she is the natural barrier and back garden of the Wang family's main house.

On top of that, she also has a natural and man-made river that forks for miles and leads to two other farms in addition to the silkworm farm.

Among them, the main river of Fenggu Farm and Zhuwei Lake are meandering and connected, and the total distance of twists and turns is about 20 miles.

The upstream of the river channel of Fenggu Farm is the tributary gate that was repaired by the ancestor of Zhouxuan, named Fenggu Gate. This sluice is a water conservancy facility, mainly used to adjust the water level of the inland river, but because it adopts a winch-type single sluice mode, there is no way for ships to pass.

But it doesn't matter much, the inside and outside of the Fenggu Gate need to be regularly desilted and maintained in order to keep it smooth, so the water level is very deep......

Wang Shouzhe quickly smoothed out his thoughts, and immediately, after writing two letters, he summoned Wang Zhong and Wang Yong in.

"The head of the house. "The morale of the two generals is good, and it is obvious that they are optimistic about the future development of the family.

Wang Shouzhe handed over the letter to Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, two generals, to deliver it, and instructed: "After you send the letter, you don't need to come back for the time being, stay there to help." ”

After waiting for the generals to leave, Wang Shouzhe drank tea slowly alone, his eyes surging and his heart was not calm, if everything went well, this insect plague was a turning point in the fate of the Wang family.
