......

In addition, the Yingxiu Lu family, the Jinsha Xu family, and the Donggang Chen family are also families that need to be actively helped. Wang Shouzhe said again, "In the past forty or fifty years, our Wang family has intermarried with each other and established a deep relationship with each other. ”

These three families are not very powerful families. But it is precisely because of this that he will intermarry with the now declining Heian Wang family. Among them, Yingxiu Lu's relationship is the closest, and Wang Shouzhe's biological mother is from the Lu family.

At the same time, Wang Liuling, the wife of the patriarch of the Yingxiu Lu clan, is also the eldest daughter of the sixth generation of the Wang family, and she is also Wang Shouzhe's aunt, and the relationship is quite complicated and close.

"That's right, now these three families are very close to my Wang family, so, Shouzhe, what do you think?" Wang Xiaozhi nodded in agreement. His two daughters, one married to the Shanyang Gongsun clan and the other to the Donggang Chen clan. And his son Wang Dingbang, who died young, married the direct family of Jinsha Xu.

"The fourth grandfather needs to quickly sort out the cause and harm of this insect outbreak, and I will send the family to notify these six families overnight. Wang Shouzhe said quickly, "Among them, the Shanyin Liu Clan and the Changning Xu Clan have already cultivated spirit insect masters in the clan, as long as they give them a way to solve this crisis, I believe it will not be difficult for them to solve this crisis on their own." In addition, the main business of Jinsha Xu's and Donggang Chen's should not be agriculture, and we will reduce their losses after fulfilling our notification obligations. ”

After a pause, Wang Shouzhe said again: "The more troublesome ones are the Yingxiu Lu clan and the Shanyang Gongsun clan, first, we must fulfill the obligation to notify as soon as possible, and in addition, we need to actively help them and do our best to the fullest." In this way, even if they lose a lot in the insect plague, they will only be grateful to us instead of disliking. ”

This calculation and remarks made Wang Xiaozhi stunned. He never imagined that a sudden outbreak of an insect plague would involve such a complicated situation.

What's more, Wang Shouzhe was able to arrange this matter so thoughtfully and meticulously in such a short period of time, taking care of all aspects.

"Shouzhe, it's the fourth grandfather who underestimated you, and also underestimated Luo Jing. Wang Xiaozhi sighed with a wry smile, "Your generation of young people is indeed better, and when they are old, our generation is really old." ”

"The fourth grandfather is too modest, if it weren't for your generation to keep the ancestral foundation, how could there be a foothold for our juniors?" Wang Shouzhe said modestly, and then sneered, "In addition to the six, especially the Liu family and the Zhao family......"

Wang Xiaozhi's expression suddenly became serious: "Shouzhe, don't worry, in the past ten days, our three major farms of the Wang family will definitely block the news." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhe squinted his eyes and laughed: "The outbreak of the insect plague cannot be hidden, everyone has an agricultural master." In less than three days, the entire Changningwei area will surely boil. By the way, Fourth Grandpa, didn't you stock up on a batch of exterminators at a low price?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Xiaozhi's expression was full of chagrin: "Yes, last year's winter pest control powder was the lowest price in the past, and the quantity was large. I originally thought that the three major farms in my family were inseparable from the exterminator, so I discussed with a few elders and hoarded a large number of them, which was enough for our family for three years. No, there are still more than 300 dry gold left. The loss is great, the loss is great, after this insect plague, how can those exterminators be useful?"

The family is now so poor that it has lost more than 300 dry gold at once, which is enough to make Wang Xiaozhi feel guilty and go to the grave.

"Insect exterminator powder shouldn't have completely lost its effect, right?" Wang Shouzhe groaned slightly, and at the same time, his brain was racing rapidly.

"Not really, it's just that it's harder to deal with those adult honey worms than eggs. Wang Xiaozhi's face was very solemn, "I tried it just now, and I have to mix the ash juice of plants and trees with double doses to quickly get rid of the honey worms, and it does not include the subsequent honey worms that continue to hatch." ”

Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe threw out one question after another like a machine gun.

Wang Xiaozhi was subdued before, but he didn't dare to underestimate Wang Shouzhe at this time, and patiently answered them one by one. He is now 75 years old, and he began to work in agriculture with his father at the age of 15, and he has been in agriculture for 60 years.

In this way, the output value of winter wheat per mu in an ordinary year is about 15 copper. Wang Shouzhe's brain quickly sorted out the data, "After deducting taxes, tenant farmers' commissions, farm tools, cattle seeds and insecticide powder, etc., the amortization of insecticide powder is about 1 large copper, and the gross profit of 8 large copper per mu is left." If the insect plague is not properly controlled, according to the calculation of 50% of the production reduction, the farm will enter a slight loss stage, and the more the production is reduced, the greater the loss......"

"If you don't care about anything, I'm afraid you will have to reduce production by about 70%. Wang Xiaozhi's body was shocked, and he somewhat understood what Wang Shouzhe meant, so he judged it, "If the insect plague breaks out, increase the investment of 2 large copper insect exterminators, which can control the disaster within 20% of the reduction in production compared with previous years." ”

"At present, the Great Qianguo is implementing a unified reserve mechanism for official grain, and it is a great crime for any family or commercial firm to dare to take advantage of a good year and a disaster year to speculate on grain prices. Wang Shouzhe continued to sort out various conditions, "Therefore, on the basis of reducing production by 70 percent, every time the production reduction is recovered, it is a loss of 1 big copper 50 jiao, and a reduction of 5 percent is worth 7 large copper 50 jiao. Then the question is, if there is no spirit insect master to control the honey worms, is it worth the 2 large copper insect exterminators!?"

"It's worth it!" As soon as he heard Wang Shouzhe's analysis, Wang Xiaozhi immediately nodded quickly, "Even if it's 4 big coppers, I'll vote." At the same time, his eyes lit up, and he was excited: "Listen to Shouzhe, what do you mean, the three hundred dry gold exterminators that our family has hoarded are not only not a loss, but can also be worth six hundred dry gold? ”

"It's worth at least six hundred dry gold. We have the fifth sister Luo Jing, a junior spirit insect master who specializes in treating honey insects, and those insect exterminators are no longer needed. However, compared to the entire Changningwei region, the spirit insect master is only a drop in the bucket, and most families still have to rely on exterminating insects to survive the disaster. Wang Shouzhe smiled indifferently, "Congratulations to the fourth grandfather, who has made a lot of money for the family." ”

"Hahaha, that's great. Wang Xiaozhi smiled so much that his face was rosy, "My Luojing is really a treasure, and she deserves to be my Wang Xiaozhi's granddaughter." ”

The corners of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched, these four old ladies are really old and thick-skinned, and they used to be patriarchal to the extent that they kept saying that their granddaughters lost money. As a result, in a blink of an eye, Luo Jing became a treasure.

But speaking of which, Luo Jing, the future spirit insect master, is really a treasure. Even if the update and iteration of the exterminator powder continue to be effective in the future, she can save the family one or two hundred dollars in expensive "pesticide fees" every year, and the money saved is pure profit.

"However, all of this is a blessing to you. Wang Xiaozhi smiled from ear to ear, "The fourth master can be regarded as understanding what you said, sometimes bad things often turn into good things." Shouzhe, you are a blessed man, and after you become the patriarch, our Wang clan will definitely get better and better. ”

Although superstition is unacceptable, Wang Shouzhe still appreciates Wang Xiaozhi's superstition about him.

And with his advanced thinking, if he doesn't grasp some business opportunities in this insect plague, he will be a traverser. Grain prices are strongly controlled by the government of the big cadres and are not allowed to speculate, but the government of the big cadres has not banned speculation and extermination, right?

A plan was already taking shape in his mind.
