Chapter 31 Why! What's so good about that man? (Ask for a monthly pass)
…
at the same time.
Shangguan Zhenhai, the head of the Shangguan clan, Shangguan Liyan, the eldest elder, and Shangguan Yunque, the great genius, were all in great shock.
Ning Wang, the head of the small sixth-grade family, actually produced two great geniuses in a row.
Although Wang Zongan is now sixty-five years old and is only at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, which is much weaker than his sister, it still depends on who he compares with...
I think that when Shangguan Yunque was sixty-five years old, his level of cultivation was no more than this. How much stronger could the little prince Wu Zhixing be when he was sixty-five years old?
Everyone in the Shangguan family looked at Wang Zongan in a different way. Their attention to the Changning Wang family who was far away in Longzuo County also increased by several levels in an instant.
The family produced two great geniuses at the same time, one taking the path of the Holy Land of the Academy and the other taking the route of suppressing the clan. This will definitely make the Wang family rise rapidly and become powerful in a short period of time. As long as it lasts about five hundred years, the two great geniuses can
Both of them entered the supernatural realm.
And with Wang Shouzhe's ability to make money, raising a great genius will probably not be a big problem.
By then, the Changning Wang family would have become so arrogant that they would directly join the ranks of upper-third-rank families.
Even though the Shangguan clan has been promoted to the third rank by then, the dual magical powers of the Wang Academy family, even though Wang Liyao is in the academy and has many restrictions, is still much better than the Shangguan clan.
Moreover, Li Yao's great genius has an extraordinary bloodline, so he might be able to win the position of the Holy Son.
If she really becomes the Lord of the Holy Land in the future...then the Wang family will soar to the sky and become out of control, becoming the top family that can compete with the second-grade family Anguo Gongfu. (PS: There is a BUG in front, Anguo Gongfu is
Zhao family and Chen family are the third grade.)
Which family dares to underestimate a family with such huge potential?
silence.
After being silent for dozens of breaths, everyone in the Shangguan family gradually came back to their senses from the extreme shock and managed to calm down.
"Young Patriarch Zong'an has unlimited potential, which makes me, an old man, envious." Shangguan Liyan, the great elder with all white hair and beard, lamented, "Everyone in the world knows that there is only one bloodline difference between a genius and a great genius, and you can catch up with them if you work hard. But if you say this,
There is still some market before Zifu. Only when you reach Zifu, you will find that the gap between the two is like a natural chasm."
"Every step forward for me and other geniuses in the Purple Mansion Realm is like moving a mountain to fill the sea, with many difficulties. Let alone walking the road to the Purple Mansion and taking a look at the magical avenue, the difficulty is comparable to
Ascend to heaven.”
It is no wonder that Shangguan Liyan lamented. The most powerful thing about the great genius is that for them, reaching the Purple Mansion Realm is just the beginning. They can climb step by step on the road to magical powers that the genius can only look up to their whole life.
This is not to say that geniuses cannot practice cultivation when they reach the Purple Mansion Realm. Some geniuses with very high bloodlines and reaching the top grade A level also have the slightest hope of advancing to the magical power realm.
It's just that everything is inseparable from the word resource, and resources have always been limited. All aristocratic families will budget carefully, use them wisely, and pay great attention to the word cost-effectiveness.
Instead of spending a lot of money to let an ancestor of the Zifu who has exhausted his potential quickly walk a few levels in the Zifu realm, it is better to save it to train the juniors, create a few more heavenly realms, and even use it for the alternation of the Zifu realm.
.
After all, the maximum lifespan of the Purple Mansion Realm is only eight hundred years, and there is basically no hope of magical power. Spending resources randomly is simply a waste of money. No family leader dares to act like this, which will arouse the anger of the clan.
"Senior, you are so complimentary." After Wang Zongan showed his strength, he put away his power and returned to his original humility, "It is a fluke that Zongan became a great genius. This junior went to Longzuo Zifu Academy.
How could I have expected that if I plated it with gold, I would be favored by the senior Immortal Tree and be rewarded with both the essence of Yimu and the spiritual seed of the Immortal Tree?"
It’s so heartbreaking~
Putting aside Shangguan Yunque who is also very lucky, Shangguan Zhenhai and Shangguan Liyan both feel heartbroken and find it difficult to breathe. Why don't they have such luck that Senior Changshengshu values them?
They have all heard of the longevity tree in Longzuo Academy. It is said that it is now at the peak of the eighth level. Maybe one day, the senior longevity tree will survive the catastrophe of transformation and become the ninth level demon king.
By then, wouldn't it mean that the Changning Wang family has added another backstage? The ninth-level demon king is equivalent to a human being in the supernatural realm. Unlike Tianhe, who doesn't live for hundreds of years, the longevity tree is famous
Immortal species, their lifespan is longer than that of turtle-like spiritual beasts.
As long as the young clan leader Zong An survives, or the sapling of immortality remains in the Wang family, this friendship will continue.
"Young Patriarch Zong'an, you just said that you would take us to make a fortune together? Can you tell us the situation in detail?" Shangguan Zhenhai changed the subject awkwardly but politely.
He could no longer continue the previous topic, he had already developed a deep sense of frustration.
"Everyone, please take a look at our Anbeiwei plan." Wang Zongan took out a set of Tianji photo disks and inspired the images in them. "This is our experimental farm. It grows high-yielding pearl rice and cumin. The surrounding
The vast expanses of green grassland are all alfalfa."
"As a high-yield coarse grain, pearl rice is extremely durable. It can be used as refined grain for high-quality war horses, carriage draft horses, working cattle, etc., and can also be used as war preparation and disaster relief materials. Ordinary people can also use pearl rice as a complementary food.
It also has wonderful effects such as improving defecation.”
"Anbeiwei has abundant sunshine. As long as irrigation can be maintained, it can produce two crops of pearl rice every year. The quality is excellent and the price is extremely low. With intensive farming, the annual output per mu can reach 25 quintals, and each quintal sells for three large coppers.
, the annual output per mu can reach 75 tons of copper, plus the cumin spices interplanted, and the straw can be used as silage feed, etc., the annual gross income per mu will reach the equivalent of one dry gold and 20 tons of copper."
"Anbeiwei has a vast territory, with an area equivalent to five or six times the size of an ordinary Weiwei. Its biggest feature is that there are no hills, no lakes, and no forests. It can maximize the use of land and use large-scale farming, irrigation, and harvesting to significantly reduce costs.
"
"In Anbeiwei alone, the amount of pearl rice farmland that can be developed is estimated to reach 12 million acres, and the total annual economic value reaches about 15 million dry gold."
Everyone in the Shangguan family began to breathe quickly when they heard this.
Fifteen million dry gold per year! What a terrifying figure. In one hundred years, the total output value is 1.5 billion.
But everyone knows that this is gross income, and taxes and various costs have to be deducted. But even so, they are still shocked. Who would have thought that Anbeiwei, which everyone was not optimistic about before, has shown economic value. So high?
"Animal husbandry is also a major feature of Anbeiwei. With cheap silage feed and pearl rice refined grain, it can feed a large number of beef cattle, horses, etc., and the market competitiveness is very high. Please pay attention to this picture Table, this is the ratio of the cost of raising a beef cow to the selling price, and the gross profit reaches a full three gold coins."
"We at Anbeiwei are planning to build several large livestock farms in the future. It is expected that we can breed two million high-quality beef cattle and two million dairy cows. We will discuss the dairy cow plan later. The gross profit of high-quality beef cattle alone is six to seven million. "
Beef cattle are large-scale and have high yields.
In relatively wealthy countries on earth, the average annual meat consumption per capita is only fifty to one hundred kilograms. But this is the Xuanwu world, and Xuanwu monks have a huge need for eating meat to replenish their Qi and blood. This is the Lianlingtai realm, the Heavenly realm, Even monks in the Purple Mansion Realm cannot eat a large amount of spiritual meat of all levels every day, as that would consume too much. They have to supplement their energy and blood with some ordinary meat.
Moreover, the largest number of monks in the world are actually low-level monks, and their consumption of ordinary meat is still very large.
"Everyone, let's try our Jade Crystal wine again. This wine has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin." Wang Zong'an took out a beautiful glass bottle of wine and a full set of exquisite glass wineware, and poured everyone a glass of wine. .
The scarlet wine exudes fragrance and complements the transparent glass cup perfectly.
When everyone tasted it, they found that it was indeed sweet and delicious, with a long aftertaste. It was indeed a fine wine.
"Anbeiwei has abundant sunshine, and the jade crystal grapes produced are sweet and full-bodied. The wine produced is also top-grade. Although it is not as good as spiritual wine, the price of twenty or thirty coppers for this bottle is not excessive, right? Based on our experience of Anbeiwei The planning of the Yujing grape base and winery, with an annual output of tens of millions of bottles, is just the beginning. Once successfully promoted, it will definitely be a huge profit project."
In the Tianji photo plate, a young and beautiful girl is either brewing jade crystal wine or bottling wine. The factory area is clean and hygienic and highly ornamental.
A detailed business planning blueprint, under the exaggeration of Wang Zongan, was laid out in everyone's mind, clearly showing the huge profits in the future.
Not to mention that everyone in the Shangguan family was dazzled by the future full of gold, even Prince An, who was not hearing it for the first time, still felt excited after hearing it, and had a feeling that I, Prince An, was also a talented person. The "heroic illusion" of rich people comes.
"Young Clan Chief Zong'an, he said he would bring us wealth..." Shangguan Zhenhai is a veteran and well-informed patriarch, but now he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and was tempted, "Could it be that he is planning to take us with him?" Shall we share the interests of Anbeiwei together? If we can share enough, we are willing to take risks and support Prince An."
Wang Zongan was right when he said it before, the Shangguan family was too short of money.
Prince Kang has many supporters, and given the current situation of the Shangguan family, even if they can seek refuge with Prince Kang, the benefits they can get are limited.
On the contrary, if they can get a share of the interests in Anbei Guard, what does the Shangguan family have to fear?
What's more, King An has actually played such a big game of chess without saying a word. Not only did he get the support of two great talents from the Changning Wang family, but he also brought An Beiwei to life, who was disliked by everyone...
…There may not be a chance of winning in the future.
"Senior is joking, Anbeiwei is the foundation of His Highness. He has put all his hard work into it for many years, how can he give it up casually?" Wang Zongan chuckled lightly, "That is to say, our Wang family strongly supports Anbeiwei.
Only by developing more can we get a share of the pie.”
Shangguan Zhenhai was so angry that he was so angry.
Although he also understands the principle of no reward for no merit, you, Wang Zongan, spoke so well of An Beiwei's prospects and whetted their appetites, but at the end of the day, you said it was not your part.
I don't want you to bully others like this.
"Is Young Patriarch Zong'an here to entertain our Shangguan family?" Shangguan Zhenhai said angrily, "If you came with the purpose of enmity, congratulations, you have achieved your goal."
"Senior, don't worry. Just because Anbeiwei's interests are not shared, it doesn't mean that there are no other interests." Wang Zongan didn't care at all about Shangguan Zhenhai's anger, and calmly adjusted the Tianji photo disk, "Just Anbeiwei, for the entire northwest
As far as the region is concerned, it is just a corner. Take a look~"
The picture of the activation of the Tianji Photo Disk shows an aerial view of the entire Dala Desert. Anbeiwei, which was originally very vast, only occupies a small, very inconspicuous corner.
"The Dala Desert is vast and vast. Its scale is about the size of three full counties. Once such a huge no-man's land is successfully developed, it will generate astronomical economic benefits, let alone cultivate a magical realm.
Even if it’s ten or eight, it’s all easy.”
Wang Zongan's appearance is excellent, and coupled with his confident appearance, he is really an excellent lobbyist.
Shangguan Zhenhai was fooled into a daze: "Zong An, this huge desert is huge, but how difficult is it to conquer it? The biggest problem is the lack of water, right?"
"Senior Zhenhai, there is no need to worry. We have already planned a huge canal, which can solve both the water source problem and the transportation problem. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Wang Zongan took out another conceptual plan, with a magnificent canal on it.
The canal runs from the West Sea all the way to Anbeiwei, with a branch in the middle that reaches beyond the 36th Weiwei of Guilong City.
Shangguan Zhenhai was so shocked that he couldn't help but nodded and said: "You are really brave."
Suddenly, he frowned again and said: "But how come this plan sounds so familiar? By the way, Prince An seems to have mentioned this plan in the court and was ridiculed in public!"
As he said that, he looked at Prince An who looked embarrassed.
"The ridicule is just the willful talk of a group of ignorant people. If everyone can see the huge benefits, how can it be the turn of Prince An and us?" Wang Zongan sneered, "In less than a hundred years, they will all get it all. I deeply regret the arrogant words I spoke out."
Shangguan Zhenhai and others were also shocked by the benefits of Anbeiwei, which Wang Zongan had planned before. If the Dala Desert could really be conquered, the benefits would indeed be huge.
It's just that the Grand Canal...
"For the Grand Canal, we plan to mobilize millions of civilians and separate thousands of sections for construction at the same time." Wang Zong'an said, "In addition, we will recruit casual cultivators, hire a large number of Xuanwu monks, and recruit refiner puppets, etc. Construction is expected to complete this epic and massive project within fifty years."
"At the same time, we will take the lead in afforestation in the Dala Desert, gradually enclose the land, and take the lead in improving the sandy soil with drought-tolerant alfalfa. It is estimated that in a hundred years, one-twentieth of the desert will be initially conquered , within five hundred years, the vast desert will be turned into an oasis. It will create a rich grain-producing land for Daqian Pingtian County, which will generate massive economic benefits every year."
Shangguan Zhenhai and others' eyes widened.
Five hundred years sounds like a long time, but in fact it is less than half the lifespan of a person in the magical power realm. Moreover, there are not many aristocratic families in this world that have lasted for more than a thousand years. If nothing else, the Shangguan family alone has existed for thousands of years.
Any family that can last for thousands of years cannot only look at the current situation. Maybe he, Shangguan Zhenhai, may not be able to see the final outcome, but their descendants of the Shangguan family can.
What's more, five hundred years later, it will be about the time when Shangguan Yunque attacks the magical power realm.
"Zong An, you said you would make us rich. So what should we do to get a share of the pie." Shangguan Zhenhai tried his hand.
"Your Shangguan family spends 500,000 dry gold every year, and a total of 100 million dry gold will be needed for two hundred years. In addition, every year, it will provide no less than a thousand Qi Refining Realm monks, a hundred Lingtai Realm monks, and ten heavenly beings. Realm, a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm, for the deployment of the [Dala Reclamation Joint Department], the duration is not less than five hundred years." Wang Zongan threw out the plan that had been prepared for a long time, "All the total investment, total income , total expenditures, etc., taxes, etc., are all processed through the [Dalaca Redevelopment Joint Department]. The actual controller of the Union Department is His Royal Highness Prince An, and all future dividends will be settled and distributed by the Union Department."
One hundred million dry gold?
Shangguan Zhenhai's heart trembled when he heard this number, but fortunately it can be divided into two hundred years, so the pressure will be slightly less.
As for so many monks, it is not a small burden for the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family has a big business and there are many places that need manpower.
But the temptation given by Wang Zongan was too great. As long as he survived the initial difficulties, the subsequent benefits would be immeasurable. Therefore, he was still very tempted. If it didn't work, he could still mortgage and sell off some properties.
"We paid such a huge price, how many percent of the shares did we get in the end?" Shangguan Zhenhai said excitedly.
"How much?" Wang Zong'an laughed, "Senior Zhenhai is really good at telling jokes. That is the income of several counties. Does your family want to be rich and powerful in the future? Because you are the first family we are talking about, I can give you some
Discount, 3% of the shares and dividends. If [Dalaca Joint Development Division] does not fail, you Shangguan family will enjoy this rights forever."
"Three percent?" Shangguan Zhenhai jumped to his feet in confusion, "We have paid such a huge price, and we can only get three percent?"
"Senior Zhenhai, please don't get angry. Please take a look at this table of expected investment amount and future income curve." Wang Zongan calmly took out a table and asked Shangguan to study it slowly, and then said goodbye, "Everyone, we will give you
The terms of the offer are already very favorable, don’t miss such a God-given opportunity. Zong An and others will retire first.”
Wang Zongan knew that this kind of matter could not be decided in one day. As long as the family's affairs involved so much investment in manpower and material resources, they always needed to be discussed internally, so he was not in a hurry.
Shangguan Zhenhai took the income curve forecast table and asked slightly in surprise: "Young Clan Chief Zong'an and His Highness the Prince, are you going to leave without having a feast?"
"Everyone is very busy. Let's eat later when we have time." Wang Zongan stood up with a smile and handed over his hands, "His Royal Highness and I still have many homes to visit."
Indeed, this is not the Shangguan family in Shangjing City...
"There is another question. If our Shangguan family agrees to participate in this project, do we need to clearly stand up and express our support for His Royal Highness Prince Anjun?"
"Senior Zhenhai is overly worried. This is just a joint development project. Whether you support Prince An or Prince Kang, it will not affect the follow-up. To be honest, this project is too expensive. Even if you are from Prince Dexin's lineage,
We want to even involve His Royal Highness Prince Kang to participate, because there are more people and we are more powerful."
"Okay, okay, that's the case, there's hope for cooperation."
While talking, Wang Zongan and Prince An formally said goodbye.
Afterwards, they visited one house after another in a serious manner.
Sure enough, everything they had boasted about would come true. They actually went to the palaces of Prince Dexin and Prince Yongan to lobby for investment, although they were "politely invited out" soon after.
But from this point alone, it can be seen that the combination of Prince An and Wang Zongan is serious. This makes those who are interested strengthen their belief.
…
Time flies by.
Another month later.
The middle section of Anjiang, Jiaolong Island.
As the base of the Jiaolong Gang, this island is shrouded in water vapor clouds and mist all year round, and is guarded by a large array, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the port of Jiaolong Island, there are a large number of large river ships docked all year round. If you look down from the sky
, the scene is also extremely spectacular.
There are several peaks on the island, and the top of the highest peak among them was artificially bulldozed to create a complex of buildings, which is where everyone in the Jiaolong Gang lives.
Among this group of buildings, there is a grand hall with a rough style and extraordinary momentum, called "Jiaolong Hall".
This Jiaolong Palace is where the Jiaolong Gang discusses matters and is also the center of power of the Jiaolong Gang.
Inside the Dragon Palace.
Sitting on the large main seat, Long Wuji, who had always been carefree and carefree, now looked livid, and there was a pile of torn letters on the ground.
His close men, Zhao Wuqing and others stood aside fearfully, with their heads lowered and not even daring to say a word.
Ever since the head of the family learned that Wang Shouzhe had taken refuge with Prince An, his temper had become irritable and unstable.
His correspondence with Shangjingcheng became more and more frequent, and every time he received a letter, he would feel very bad.
"Shou Zhe, you are really going further and further on the road of betrayal." Long Wuji squeezed the armrest with his broad palms, and a certain green light flashed in his deep eyes, "What is so good about that boy Wu Mingyuan?"
That made you spare no effort to help him."
"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be brothers happily together?"
"No, we can't let Wang Shouzhe continue to make mistakes. The only way to get to the bottom is to turn back." Long Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Come here, the whole army sets off, the target is Changning Guard."
Zhao Wuqing shuddered and hurriedly whispered: "Father, there are still about forty days before the 'fifty-year agreement', so please be patient."
"Endure? If you continue to endure it, Wang Shouzhe will sink deeper and deeper. There will be no turning back." Long Wuji was so angry that his eyes began to turn red. "The army will be mobilized for me now. The whole army will be pressed outside Changning Guard."
Stay there and wait until the agreed date arrives, then immediately send troops to safely conquer the city."
"I, Long Wuji, have to go and ask him personally why he betrayed me?"
