Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Burning Grain Deal

To the east of the Saturn Continent, the only one in the Great Xia Dynasty was located opposite the Han County Cross-border Teleportation Array, outside the newly built storage base, there were already more than a dozen caravans transporting grain waiting at this time.

The director of the storage base, a young steward of Wenfu who had just been promoted, was now complaining to the newly arrived family elder Wenli.

"Uncle, you can send some more people, I'm really too busy here, look outside, there are so many caravans waiting to go through the formalities and enter the warehouse, I can't take care of this little manpower at all!"

The elder Wenli glanced at the caravan waiting in line outside for storage, was silent for a moment, and then ordered an entourage beside him.

"Now you go to the mansion to find the chief butler, and ask him to pick more clever subordinates from the miscellaneous servants of the outer mansion, together with the accounts in the mansion, to help here, and arrange these caravans first."

"In addition, after you notify the chief butler, go to the Fenggong Office again, find the prison official Wentong, and ask him to send a team of Fenggong warriors over to be responsible for maintaining order here, and the number of people should be more than 100."

When the entourage left, the old man turned around and asked the young steward of the storage base.

"Tell me how much grain you have collected in this base so far?"

The young base manager, who was supported by manpower, replied happily.

"Counting today's storage, 400,000 stones have been stored, according to the understanding of the people below, the caravans queuing up outside, in total, there should be 6780,000 stones of grain that can be stored."

"Uncle, you have done the child a great favor today, I will bring you a few bottles of my mother's brewed medicinal wine in the evening, even if the child honors you!"

The old man Wenli scolded with a smile.

"You stinky boy, you got cheap, so you remembered to honor me, and I didn't see you send things over a few days ago."

The young steward immediately cried out.

"Hey, uncle, you really wronged me, you don't know how busy I usually are, and I rarely even have the opportunity to stop and catch my breath!"

The elder Wenli interrupted the young man's cry and said to him.

"Your uncle is about to arrive, hurry up and arrange the following things, and then come back to me, and I'll take you to meet your uncle later."

The young supervisor was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ran outside, shouting back as he ran.

"Uncle Ancestor wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

The old man Wenli looked up at the sky and felt that today's weather was not bad, and it should not rain, so he completely relieved himself.

After Wen Jiming, the head of the family, personally escorted the caravan full of grain and left Han County, it was the fourth day until today, and Wen Li received Wen Jiming's magic letter this morning, saying that he would return to Han County before noon today.

A few days ago, Wen Jiming brought back the tens of thousands of stone magic rice that had been transferred to the vacated granary, and now in the granary in the county, all the old grain has been transported, and the rest is the new grain harvested last year.

At the same time, considering the low storage capacity of the current granary, the county has decided a few days ago to prepare to build a large grain warehouse in the middle of Chengdu city and the new city, and this warehouse will start construction in a few days.

If you don't count the grain in this storage base now, there are still about 830,000 stone of grain in Han County, and if you don't encounter a major disaster, you can completely cope with any food shortage.

While thinking about the food problem, the old man walked towards the outside of the storage base.

As soon as he walked to the door of the storage base, he suddenly noticed a large convoy driving out of the hall of the cross-border teleportation array opposite.

Could it be that the head of the house arrived early? Thinking of this factor, the elder Wenli walked quickly to the opposite side.

When I got closer, I found that the leader in front of the caravan was actually the archmage Herodotus.

The archmage himself also saw the elder Wen Li at the same time, so when Wen Li walked in front of him, he asked.

"Is Wen back? I have brought back 650,000 stone of grain from my friend's continent, and the second batch of 700,000 stone of grain, which will be delivered in three days. ”

The elder Wen Li replied after bowing to the archmage.

"I received a letter this morning, and the head of the family said in the letter that he would definitely be back this morning, and he should be there soon."

When the archmage heard this, he pointed to the caravan behind him. Said to the elder.

"Old man, please send someone to settle the payment for the caravan first, the price of this batch of grain is ordered at three hundred and thirty wen and one stone, after the handover, I will let them send it directly to the other side."

After that, the archmage himself also saw the caravan waiting to enter the warehouse on the other side, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Those on the opposite side are all caravans delivering grain?"

Family Elder Wenli nodded.

"Yes, because the staff at the storage base is a little too busy, they are waiting in line outside, waiting for the formalities to be unloaded after entering the warehouse."

After finishing speaking, the elder Wenli called an attendant and asked him to take the caravan owner who followed the archmage to the county government to settle the payment for the purchase of grain.

After the merchant left, the archmage said to the old man Wenli.

"It seems that the grain income of each continent last year was all very good, and the grain prices of the several continents I visited in the past few days were very low, and there were very few merchants who bought grain this year, and these grain merchants were very positive when they heard that I wanted to buy grain."

Elder Wenli pointed to the grain teams lining up on the opposite side and said to the archmage.

"I've heard similar things from the mouths of those businessmen, and it seems that we have caught up with a very good opportunity to make a lot of income directly if we do it well!"

As soon as he said this, the young supervisor of the Wen clan in the storage base had already finished arranging his work and ran over from the base, and when he saw the archmage, because he had never seen it, he didn't know what to call it, so he stood on the side and waited for the hint of the old man Wenli.

Wen Li beckoned to him, called him over, and introduced him to the archmage.

"This is the son-in-law of the second room of the family master's family, and he is the nephew of the family head according to his seniority."

Then he said to the young steward.

"This is Archmage Herodotus, the teacher of Aristock, the godfather of your little uncle Karina, you can just call Archmage."

The young steward hurriedly saluted the archmage, and then said,

"Hello Archmage, I'm very glad to meet you, do you want to go to my room opposite to rest for a while, my uncle doesn't know when it will arrive."

The archmage waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

"No, we'll just chat here while waiting, I have a hunch that Wen will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wen Jiming walking out of the hall of the cross-border teleportation array with the huge convoy of the Wen Mansion.

The young steward couldn't close his mouth in amazement, and muttered to himself.

"It's amazing, magicians have such a hunch of such a good thing, and the words are so effective."

As soon as Wen Jiming walked out of the door of the teleportation hall, he saw the archmage and the elder Wen Li, as well as a young man he had never seen before, chatting outside, as if waiting for him.

So he hurriedly walked over and said hello to the archmage.

"Hello Archmage, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, did things go smoothly?"

The archmage looked very happy, and he stretched out two fingers and said to Wen Jiming.

"Two batches of grain, a total of 1,350,000 stones, the first batch has arrived with me, and the second batch will be delivered in three days."

Wen Jiming was overjoyed.

"Great, this time the other party has added 2.3 million stone of grain, I was about to come back to set up the task, I didn't expect you to solve half of the needs at once, it's really great!"

The elder Wen Li was also overjoyed when he heard it, and he hurriedly reported to Wen Jiming the results of his side.

"Lord, if that's the case, we've already prepared all the 2.3 million stone grain!"

After that, the old man introduced the young housekeeper next to him to Wen Jiming.

"This is the sister-in-law of the second room of our Wen family, and it belongs to your nephew according to generation, he just arrived at the house recently, and now he is the director of the storage base opposite, let him tell you the specific situation."

The young supervisor hurriedly saluted Wen Jiming.

"Hello uncle, I am Wen Ze, the nephew of your second-room sect, and now I am the steward of the opposite base, the grain you said, now there are 400,000 stones in the base, and you look at the caravan queuing on the opposite side, they still have nearly 700,000 stone of grain on the car, and they are waiting in line on the opposite side to be unloaded."

Wen Jiming was a little incredulous, because he asked for a demonic spell, he stayed at the demon old warlock for a few more days. I was also worried that it might delay the plan to purchase food, but I didn't expect that when I got home, all the food I needed had been purchased!

At this time, Wen Jiming couldn't help but feel overjoyed, he patted Wen Ze's shoulder and praised.

"Well done, good job, how old are you?"

Wen Ze was very happy to see that his uncle was very satisfied with him, and he hurriedly replied.

"Uncle, I'm seventeen this year, and I'm two months and eighteen."

Wen Jiming was surprised.

"Oh, it's still a month with me, and that is the day of my birthday, are you married now?"

Wen Ze said excitedly.

"My father told me that I was born with you, and he always said that it was fate, so he sent me over to help you and see if I could make a living, I haven't started a family yet, and I'm going to learn some skills from you before I think about starting a family."

Otherwise, between people, it is necessary to pay attention to fate, just because Wen Jiming, the first nephew of his family to see, had the same birthday as himself, which suddenly made Wen Jiming look at him differently.

Wen Jiming stretched out his hand and put it on the top of Wen Ze's head to probe it, and then he was a little happy.

"Yes, I actually have a foundation in magic, very good!"

Then he turned his head to look at the old Wen Li of the Wen family.

"Have you ever tested him, that kind of legal talent?"

"We tested him at the Protor's Academy, and it turned out to be a strong blue light reaction."

Wen Jiming was very happy when he heard it, the old Wen family finally had a third profession after the warlock and warrior professionals, the magician professional.

So he said to Wen Ze.

"You do a good job, I will be free in a few days, and I will personally teach you the knowledge and spells of magicians."

Wen Ze was so happy that he was about to say something when he was interrupted by the archmage.

"Where do you have free time now? Well, leave him to Giannis and let him teach your nephew. Also, you don't have to worry about the food, I'll personally help you run, and after you explain the matter, I'll go directly to Kansa City to pick up the task. ”

Then the archmage said to Wen Ze, who was a little dejected.

"You don't have to be discouraged, after your uncle becomes a big professional, he can still teach you when he has time, the most important thing for you now is to lay a good foundation, so that when your uncle teaches you in the future, it will save some effort."

Wen Ze became happy again.

Seeing that he could no longer meddle in the business of buying grain, Wen Jiming hurriedly explained all the relevant information to the archmage.

"Archmage, let me explain to you that our client's army on Planet Talama now has 2.6 million people, and it will increase by 500,000 in the next month, so they will need more than 3 million stone of food every month."

When the archmage heard this, he became excited.

"So, they need so much food every month? They eat too much. ”

Wen Jiming explained to the archmage.

"The main reason is that they are more than three meters tall, and the supply of meat is not available, so the consumption of natural food is large."

The Archmage nodded in understanding. Then he said to Wen Jiming.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, you can rest today and leave tomorrow."

With that, the archmage himself left first.

Wen Jiming turned his head and said to Wen Li.

"Wait a minute, give all the gold and silver I brought back to the money workshop, let them make all the new money, and then you withdraw 100,000 gold dollars of new money and send it to Aristock as their research funds."

"Leave the matter of food to the archmage, you should pay close attention to the matter of new money, circulate the new money as soon as possible, and our shop in Kansa City, how is the preparation of the Chamber of Commerce?"

The elder Wenli replied.

"The shop has been rented and will open in two days, the chamber of commerce has been registered, and the required manpower has been on the road for several days."

Wen Jiming nodded.

"That's good, you take Wen Ze to get busy, I'll go home by myself."

The elder Wen Li hurriedly stopped Wen Jiming, and then reported it.

"A few days ago, there were people from each room of the Wen family, saying that since the ancestral god had changed the name of the lord to two words, they also wanted to change the name of each house brother according to this rule, so I would like to ask you to give the rules, otherwise if the names of each house are changed randomly, it is not in line with the clan rules."

Wen Jiming understood, this is to set a rule for the names of the children of the Wen family in the future, which is a good thing!

Thinking that he had seen those genealogies in China before, Wen Jiming immediately decided to borrow this tradition and adopt it for the Wen clan, he thought about it carefully, if he started with his own succession, how to arrange it, and soon had an idea.

"In this way, starting from my generation, take the word in the middle of me as the word in the middle of this generation, and then rank it down. In the order of succession, inheritance, eternal, transmission, chang, sheng, xing, extension, zheng, great, light, ming, cheng, first, yu, after, these words are enough to use. ”

Inheritance is eternal, prosperity is extended, righteousness is bright, and success comes first. From today onwards, these sixteen characters have become the words used in the order of generations on the genealogy of the old Wen family.

At the same time, from this day on, the Oriental people began to have characters, and the nobles in the future must not only have a surname and a name, but also have a character in the middle.

From this day on, all the noble families also learned from the Wen family and began to formulate their own family genealogy.

Wen Jiming once again added a small change to the other world.
