Ping'an Town.
In April, it rains continuously.
Since the Wang family unified Pingan Town, they have continued to increase development efforts.
In today's Pingan Town, a lot of land that was originally unsuitable for farming has been transformed, either dug or filled, and little by little it has been transformed into pieces of fertile farmland.
Around these fertile fields, farms were built one after another.
Under Wang's unified planning, old rivers have been repaired and dredged, and new rivers have been excavated. Today, the entire waterway in Ping'an Town has been completely renewed.
The entire Ping'an Town is covered by a dense water network, with large and small rivers criss-crossing the town, and waterways extending in all directions. Flood control gates have been specially built at key points on the waterways to adjust the water level at critical moments.
Every farm and village is also connected by rivers and has its own dock, which not only solves the irrigation problem but also saves transportation capacity. After all, under the current conditions, the transportation capacity of ships far exceeds that of animal-drawn vehicles on land.
Under the continuous rain, ripples appeared on the crisscrossing rivers. Viewed from the sky, the entire Ping'an Town seems to be soaked in water vapor, adding a bit of charm and aura.
Among this densely intertwined water network, you can clearly see strips of gray-white spacious roads crisscrossing the entire town like spider webs.
This is Wang's characteristic - "Cement Road".
Even in this rainy season, Canghui Road is still clean without any muddy feeling.
Twenty or thirty years ago, Ping'an Town would have never had such a scene. At that time, there were relatively few roads in Pingan Town, and most of them were rammed earth roads. During the rainy season, the ground was full of mud, making it very embarrassing whether traveling by carriage or on foot.
Even for a carriage with a large load and a heavy body, it is normal for the wheels to get stuck in the mud.
Only in the town, or near the entrance of the family, will it be cleaner. Some bluestones will be paved on the pavement in these places to harden the pavement and activity areas.
However, bluestone pavement is quite expensive to lay and the laying efficiency is very low. Each piece of bluestone requires a lot of effort by a mason to cut, carve, and process. Some of the more delicate ones will also have names and patterns engraved on them.
At this cost, it is enough to pave the inside and outside of the house, but it is a complete fantasy to pave the entire town with bluestone pavement, which will be beyond the financial resources of the Wang family.
Building "cement" roads/cement roads is relatively simple. The "cement" is produced at home, the cost is relatively low, and the molding speed is extremely fast. The most important thing is that it is very clean and tidy, which is suitable for the current situation of Ping'an Town.
At this moment.
On a broad and straight gray-white cement road that runs through Ping'an Town, a low-key and simple carriage is slowly passing through the curtain of rain.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Wang Shouzhe looked through the carriage window at the drainage ditches on both sides of the cement road and the large tracts of farmland.
This season is when wheat is in high demand. Looking around, the surrounding farmland is like a vast green sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.
With abundant rain, good drainage, and timely disease and insect prevention measures, it is no surprise that this year will be another bumper wheat harvest year.
Although the Wang family in Changning has many industries, the most important of all industries is farmland. What's more, Wang's farmland produces wheat seeds or rice seeds, and the income is far higher than ordinary grain.
Changningwei, as well as some of the aristocratic families in the surrounding acropolis, have gradually begun to accept the grain provided by the Wang family. Although Gainwang's grain seeds are slightly expensive, they have excellent properties and have huge advantages in terms of disease resistance and lodging resistance, as well as yield.
Farming with Wang's grain seeds will be more stable and the yield will be much higher. The overall income will be 30% to 70% higher than before. You know, this extra income is equivalent to pure profit.
This part of the net profit is extremely important to those eighth- and ninth-grade families. This allows them to quickly accumulate enough resources for Lingtai replacement, or continue to expand their industry, or relax their training strategies for other outstanding tribesmen, and have the opportunity to cultivate a second Lingtai realm, or even a third Lingtai realm.
There are even many ninth-grade families who are beginning to think of ways to please and attach themselves to the Wang family. They were willing to use their fertile and spiritual fields to cultivate grain for the Wang family. The Wang family will purchase these grains and sell them uniformly.
In return, those ninth-grade aristocratic families will be able to obtain higher returns every year, the family will be financially more comfortable, and the family will have more opportunities to grow and develop.
That's why.
Under the leadership of the Wang family, many aristocratic families in Changningwei are gradually embarking on the road of "common prosperity".
Aristocratic families pursue profit, and once they taste the sweetness, it is difficult to go back to the past. They will be firmly bound around the Wang family and consciously safeguard common interests.
Except for a few of the dozens of aristocratic families of all sizes in Changning Wei, their development speed is now gradually accelerating. And the entire Changning Guard area will become more and more powerful.
Wang Shouzhe has spent more than twenty years in this aristocratic family since time travel.
Looking back on everything along the way, he was quite emotional. Although there are still many shortcomings, he still leads the people to live a better life.
At least younger brothers, sisters and clan members no longer have to worry about a little spiritual food and practicing elixirs, which affects their "early development" and future potential.
Of course, this is just the beginning for the construction of Ping'an Town.
For example, in Wang Shouzhe's opinion, the asphalt road would be better. A "flexible" road surface is more conducive to maintenance and repair, but once the cement road surface is damaged, it is too troublesome to maintain.
However, so far, he has not found natural asphalt mines, nor has he found oil, so he cannot refine the asphalt, so he can only put this idea aside for the time being.
While thinking about it, the carriage was slowly passing by the rivers and arch bridges.
The reason why the original river channel has a meandering shape is because the river bank collapsed after being washed away by water. As a result, the river bank collapsed more and more. At the same time, when the water flows through the bend, it will produce impact pressure on the diagonally opposite river bank. Over time, the river channel will become as curved as an earthworm.
Similar shapes are actually detrimental to the overall planning, and can easily lead to undesirable situations such as river diversions, and shipping will not be able to speed up.
Therefore, over the years, in addition to dredging the river, Wang has also continued to build concrete revetments to strengthen the river embankment. In particular, some newly opened river channels are horizontal and vertical, and the two sides are impregnable, making it easy to control and maintain for a long time.
This shows how much effort and money Wang spent on running Ping An Town.
Wang Shouzhe has always regarded Ping'an Town as his own territory and is preparing to build it into a foundation that will last for thousands of years.
On earth, people work hard all their lives. No matter how much money they make, they will only live to be eighty or ninety years old when they die. Centenarians are rare.
In this Xuanwu world, human lifespan is much longer.
Not to mention the distance, Wang Shouzhe already has a lifespan of two hundred yuan at his current level in the Lingtai realm. As for him in the future, at least he will be in the heaven-human realm, and the Purple Mansion can also be expected. Then he can live to be four hundred years old, or even eight hundred years old!
Thus, it is particularly important to build your own home for a long time.
……
The carriage slowly passed through the commercial area beside Zhuwei Mansion, then went to the right side of Zhuwei Lake, and followed the avenue beside Zhuwei Lake directly to Wang's main residence. When we got here, we started to be heavily guarded.
The first thing is to pass the checkpoint. If you are not invited by Wang or your application for visit is approved, you will not be able to pass the checkpoint. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the checkpoint, there will be Wang family generals and clan soldiers patrolling and checking along the way.
Of course, this level of patrol is to protect against those below the first-level defense level. If there really is someone in the Lingtai realm with evil intentions, there are many ways to invade near the Wang family's main residence.
Just breaking into the Wang family's main residence without permission would probably make it difficult for him to go to Lingtai Realm. After all, if there is no special matter, one of Longyan ancestors and Liu Ruolan will always be at home.
Let alone the Lingtai Realm monks, even the Heavenly Human Realm monks barged in with hostility, but they were determined to have nothing good to gain.
……
In the square outside Wang’s main residence.
A white horse approached from far away. The knight was a handsome young man in well-dressed clothes, with a riding bow and sword slung around his waist. A hawk-like bird followed, circling in the sky.
At the door of the main house, the young knight dismounted and whistled. The hawk that was hovering in the sky fell like a meteor and stepped firmly on the young man's arm.
"Sixth Young Master, you are back." A family general who was on duty to guard the gate immediately came up to greet him and asked the clan soldiers to take care of the horses. Then he said with a smile, "I heard that you took advantage of the clan this time. During the school vacation, I went to Yingxiu to visit relatives in the Lu family, and also went to Donghaiwei for some experience. I wonder if there will be any gains?"
This young man looks quite heroic, but because of his young age, the childishness on his face has not faded. This son is none other than the sixth generation Wang Zongcai of the eighth generation of the Wang family, and the eldest son of the fourth Wang Shounuo.
Although he is only fifteen years old, his cultivation is quite impressive and he has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm. And because Wang is strict with his children, he is also quite diligent in the training of Xuanwu combat skills, body skills, etc.
"Brother Wang Yang, it turns out that it's your turn today." Wang Zongcai couldn't help but return the favor. The family general Wang Yang was a few years older than him, and he was from a collateral line of the Wang family.
Although the Wang family's Xuanwu bloodline has weakened, the chance of producing talents is still much better than that of ordinary civilian families. What's more, now that the Wang family's conditions have improved, the treatment of the Wang family's descendants has also become very good.
In the past, if some of the collateral tribesmen whose bloodline qualifications were not "low-grade Ding" were just a small step away, the main lineage of the Wang family would give them a third-grade "Ling Qi Ling Dan" to help them improve from "waste qualifications" At the high level, improve your qualifications to reach the lower level D or lower level C.
In this way, you will be qualified to become a Xuanwu monk and change your destiny.
Earlier, Wang's "Ling Qi Dan" was entrusted to the old alchemist of Xu's Danfang in Changning to refine it. Now that Wang Shouye has become a mature alchemist, he has taken on the responsibility of refining the spiritual elixir for his family.
The main material of Qiling Pill is "Amethyst Bee Royal Honey", and Wang Luojing is good at raising amethyst bees. Nowadays, the purple crystal spirit bees she mainly raises have reached the overall third level.
Relying on the high-quality spiritual flowers and exotic flowers from Zifu Academy, the annual production of amethyst royal honey is not low. The spiritual honey it produces is contributed to the family to refine the spiritual elixir.
If it were an ordinary disciple who used the spiritual flowers of Zifu Academy to gather nectar but kept giving it to the family, he would probably be gossiped about. However, Wang Luojing is famous among the younger generation of Zifu Academy. Although she doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, she will hold a grudge against anyone who provokes her, and the other party will often suffer a big loss.
Besides, Wang Luojing is also supported by the eccentric Madam Huandie, so there are not many people who are making trouble about this matter. There were a few people who didn't open their eyes before. Naturally, they were repeatedly "friendly" by Wang Luojing. It wasn't until Wang Luojing burst into tears and confessed in all kinds of ways that Wang Luojing reluctantly "forgave" him.
Therefore.
Nowadays, Wang's "Qiling Pill" is considered a family specialty.
It's just that pills like the Qiling Pill are more effective against "waste qualifications", but there is less room for improvement for people with lower-grade blood qualifications. Wang Shouzhe also took one back then and felt that it had little effect.
Therefore, most families have little demand for Qiling Pill. Only some direct or direct veins can be used if they accidentally develop "waste qualifications".
But for Wang, who lacks manpower everywhere, Qiling Pill is a rare treasure. You can accumulate generals as quickly as possible and accumulate the foundation of the entire Wang family.
As for the lower-grade B, C, and D straight lineage tribesmen, they can also use one or two Ling Qi Pills to improve their qualifications. However, the effect will be greatly reduced when taking the second pill.
Wang Zongcai and Wang Yang chatted casually: "Brother Wang Yang, I just took a letter delivery mission and accumulated some meager contribution points. Experience and other things can gain a lot of knowledge. But the families of Donghaiwei It’s all too enthusiastic and I can’t bear it.”
Wang Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Donghaiwei is a prosperous place. Many eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families own a lot of fertile land. If you can have the opportunity to grow grain for our Wang family, you can make a lot of money. What's more, you are How can the sixth young master of Wang family, a dignified heavenly being, not be enthusiastic when he goes to their territory?"
"Young Master Sixth, when you went there this time, many girls fell in love with you, right?"
Wang Zongcai was relatively thin-skinned after all, and he blushed all of a sudden. Not only was he attracted by many girls, it was as if he had escaped back. There were even two direct lineage girls from the ninth-grade family who made their intentions clear to him.
Why are girls so enthusiastic these days?
While the two were talking, several children of different sizes ran out of the main house. It is the seventh generation Wang Zongxu, the ninth generation eldest Wang Wangang Ning, and the ninth generation eldest daughter Wang Yingxue.
The seventh oldest among them, Wang Zongxu, is nine years old and is Wang Shouyong’s eldest son. Wang Guangning is Zongcai's eldest brother and Wang Zongwei's eldest son. He is now twelve years old. Wang Yingxue is also Wang Zongwei's eldest daughter, but she is only eight years old now.
As soon as several people saw Wang Zongcai, they gathered around him.
"Sixth brother/sixth uncle!" they all said at once, "I heard that you went out to do a mission. Did you bring us a gift?"
"Brother Six, your falcon is so beautiful. Did you buy it from Donghaiwei?"
In the eyes of some elders, Wang Zongcai is naturally still a young boy. But in the eyes of his younger brothers, nephews and nieces, he is also a big brother-level figure.
"Don't touch my spiritual falcon. This is a first-class spiritual bird given by my grandfather when I went to visit the Lu family in Yingxiu." Wang Zongcai said hurriedly, "Of course I have the gift, and everyone in the family under the age of eighteen has it. ”
Then he hurriedly took out some special gifts from Donghaiwei from his luggage on horseback. Although they are not very valuable things, they still reflect Wang Zongcai's thoughts.
The few little guys took the gifts with satisfaction, and then surrounded Wang Zongcai and started asking questions. They are still young, and the family's weapon system does not allow them to go out on missions.
Except for the 12-year-old Royal Ning, who can take on some big tasks, the rest at most use their leisure time to take on some small errands within the family.
Just when Wang Zongcai smiled and told them some interesting stories, he walked home. An inconspicuous carriage drove over and stopped at the door. Then, a mature, steady, and extraordinary "young man" got out of the carriage.
As soon as the few young men saw him, their smiles immediately disappeared, and they hurriedly shouted stiffly: "Fourth Uncle/Fourth Grandpa..."
The "young man" smiled kindly: "You are all here. Let's have a meal together in my yard. Maybe I haven't seen you for a long time, so I just want to test your homework."
What?
Wang Zongcai, Wang Zongxu, Wang Wangangning, Wang Yingxue and others all suddenly fell down. This almost makes me cry...
Their lives are too miserable.
"Yes, Fourth Uncle/Fourth Grandpa!"
