Chapter 71 The Foundation of a Strong Family
…
Facing such a gloomy Mrs. Ji, Wang Shouzhe drank "Jasper Gouqing" to suppress his shock and quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about rewards. This time you have made such a great contribution, and the merit points are naturally huge. If you want to start from What can the clan treasury exchange for? If the clan treasury does not have it, I can also find a way to order people to search for it."
"Can anything be exchanged?" Mrs. Ji's eyes lit up slightly, and she stared at Wang Shouzhe with her charming eyes.
"Of course..." Wang Shouzhe was about to say, as long as the family has it, everything can be redeemed. But there was something wrong in her eyes, as if she wanted to eat someone, so she quickly stopped talking, "Of course not everything can be changed."
"Oh, that's boring." Mrs. Ji withdrew her eyes regretfully, "Currently there are enough cultivation resources, and there is nowhere to spend the accumulated merit points. I suggest that the head of Shouzhe family expand the redemption list, and don't stick to just redeeming for cultivation. Materials and the like. This can give family members more motivation to work hard."
Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, your logic is too strong. For the development of the family, the head of the family has to put himself on the exchange list?
…
On Wang Shouzhe's small carriage, people came and went, welcoming waves of guests at the same time.
In the main residence of the Tianren Huangfu family, there was a sad and gloomy look.
The usually arrogant servants and generals did not dare to say a word. They also felt that the entire family was enveloped in a low depression.
In the secret room.
Ancestor Hua Ye, who was high-spirited at the beginning and left angrily at the end, had an extremely ugly face, and his red hair was covered with a faint flame.
A strong and oppressive aura filled the secret room, as if he was venting his anger.
"The Xu family of Changning and the Wang family of Ping'an, you have gone too far to bully others." Patriarch Hua Ye's voice was low and suppressed, "I will never let this matter go."
The head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Jinhuan, looked equally sad and angry, with strong hatred flashing in his eyes. It seems that he can't wait to order the generals of the Qi family right now, go to the Xu family in Changning, kill him without leaving any trace of him, and crush the Ping'an Wang family again on the way.
But he also knew very well that now was definitely not a good time to take action.
As the leader of the clan, Huangfu Jinhuan obviously carried a heavy burden. He suppressed the burning anger in his heart and consoled him: "Ancestor, now is not the time to fight back. Such a big event has just happened. , the eyes of all walks of life are staring at us."
"What's more, the disciples of Zifu Academy are still in charge of the disaster relief work in our Chang Ning Guard. Their relationship with the Ping An Wang family seems to be good. My ancestors, please be patient for a while longer. Now that the disaster relief work is about to be completed, do you want to How long will it take before they leave?"
After all, Ancestor Hua Ye is an old monster who has lived for more than two hundred years. After venting his anger and being comforted, the anger and murderous intent in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he said in a cold voice: "This ancestor just didn't expect it. , a group of tiny bugs, dare to show their teeth and claws in front of me. Jinhuan, how is the investigation of the cement production base going?"
"That matter went very smoothly. Our people have secretly sneaked into their peripheral industries and found out a lot of things." Huangfu Jinhuan immediately cheered up when he talked about it. "It's just that they were on guard. Very strict, very cautious.”
"This is an industry that can make the family take off. It is normal to be strict with precautions." A strong look of greed flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Hua Ye. "You must be careful and plan things slowly, and remember not to act too hastily. The prey has been alarmed. As long as we can finally monopolize the cement formula, it will be a God-given opportunity for our Huangfu family to truly rise."
The weaving industry is also a huge industry. However, there are many predators among them, and if you want to truly rise, you will inevitably be attacked.
The cement industry is different. Those basic materials that are needed by the entire Longzuo County, no, even Daqian Kingdom, are much more powerful than the weaving industry.
"Ancestor, please don't worry." Huangfu Jinhuan's eyes showed a fiery look, "The incident on Golden Beach was caused by someone else's scheme, but the incident involving Cement was caused by someone else's scheme."
"Okay, very good." Ancestor Hua Ye said with equally blazing eyes, "As long as you can occupy the cement industry, you can even get treasures that can extend your life. When the time comes, I will fully support you in your sprint to the Heavenly Realm."
"Thank you, ancestor." Huangfu Jinhuan's heart was filled with excitement.
"Mrs. Ji must also find ways to continue to make good friends and maintain relationships. It is best to gradually establish a relationship with the Ji family through her. The Ji family in Longzuo was also a Zifu family. Even if their current power is not as good as it was at its peak, it is far from the same. We can compare." Ancestor Hua Ye instructed.
"Yes, ancestor."
…
The next day!
On the golden beach in Jinsha Town.
In autumn, when there is neither dryness nor waterlogging, it is the best time for water-powered reeling cars and water-powered weaving cars to operate.
Driven by the large waterwheel, the reeling car rumbles into operation. Driven by a not too complicated structure, the semi-automatic reeling process is realized.
Only a few skilled workers can take care of a reeling cart. The output of this reeling car is at least equal to the output of dozens of reelers using pedal reels.
Wang Shouzhe, Changning Xu Anbang, Jinsha Xu Anze, and Beichen Patriarch were all present. Each looked at the operation of the water-powered reeling car with amazed eyes.
"What a wonderful workmanship." Beichen Patriarch of the Xu family said with emotion, "Master Shouzhe really has a fantastic idea. He can create such a magical thing. He is really the reincarnation of an ancient saint."
"Beichen Patriarch is so complimentary." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Shouzhe just saw that working on the pedal reeling car was too hard, so he made suggestions and improvements. Most of the specific work was done by my eldest brother Wang Shouxin and his fourth aunt. Xu Zhirou and her craftsmen devoted themselves wholeheartedly to it, figuring it out bit by bit."
Wang Shouzhe is not being modest. Most of his work is to give directions, or when he encounters a bottleneck in a certain technology, he will come forward to give guidance with his "excellent" "insight".
If he is really allowed to focus solely on the research and development of a certain product, he will certainly be able to achieve results. But the head of his family is engaged in research and development all day long, so what else does he want to do?
The eldest brother Wang Shouxin is a down-to-earth person, and his temperament is much worse than that of Wang Shouzhe. After receiving the task, he became obsessed with it. It took many years of hard work to achieve such results.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Shouzhe's fourth aunt Xu Zhirou is a very patient and ingenious woman. After Wang Shouzhe lost his mother in childhood, she took care of his two siblings.
At that time, she also made many gadgets to make Wang Shouzhe happy.
After the Wang family entered the fast lane of development, due to the shortage of talents in various industries of the family, the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the silkworm farm to manage silk reeling and shoulder some responsibilities for the family.
Of course, there is no lack of the idea of earning more merit points for his son Wang Shounuo.
And after all, she was born in the Jinsha Xu family.
In addition to a small amount of gold mining and some fertile farmland, Xu's family in Jinsha planted mulberry trees in most places after land reclamation, forming large and small silkworm farms.
The fourth aunt has been exposed to silk reeling since she was a child, so Wang Shouzhe won her invitation.
Later, when it came to the mechanical structure of the water-powered reeling car, the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou suddenly showed her strong ability and talent. She even had strong hands-on skills. She was the one who continued to design and improve many small structures.
A small water-powered silk reeling car and a water-powered weaving car look simple, but in fact they contain the hard work of the Wang clan members for many years.
Such achievements also make Wang Shouzhe feel comfortable and proud. The Ping An Wang family is not supported by him alone, nor is it a king leading a group of bronzes, but every family member is working hard to contribute to the growth and strength of the family.
While Wang Shouzhe was chatting with the family heads and ancestors about this matter, Xu Zhirou, after carefully inspecting the water-powered reeling car, came over and reported: "Shouzhe, the installation this time is very qualified and the operation is very smooth. The only one The problem is that we need to consider the allocation of water power during wet and dry periods.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Four." Wang Shouzhe said with his hands in hand.
This workshop was built under the supervision of Xu Zhirou, and she personally led the craftsmen to install the various hydraulic equipment bit by bit.
"Thank you for your hard work, second sister." Xu Anze, the head of the Xu family in Jinsha, also hurriedly stepped forward to greet Xu Zhirou, showing great concern for Xu Zhirou.
In fact, he felt very sorry for his second sister. After marrying into the Ping'an Wang family and giving birth to three children, Wang Shounuo, Wang Luotong, and Wang Luojing, her husband Wang Dingbang died young at the age of thirty-seven.
Since then, she has been raising several children alone. At that time, Wang's situation was not good, so her life was extremely difficult. As her mother-in-law, the Jinsha Xu family helped her as much as they could.
This is also the reason why Xu Zhirou took the initiative to take on the entire project when building a workshop in Jinshatan. Even if she is doing things for her family, she can also give back to her mother family for taking care of her and her family.
"Sister Zhirou." Chang Ning Xu Anbang also approached and expressed concern, "Thanks to you these days. Some time ago, our Xu family got some beauty pills. I thought they could be used by sister Zhirou, so I brought them Got it." Then, he blatantly stuffed it into her.
Jinsha Xu Anze's eyes suddenly widened. Although he and Xu Anbang were both from the An family, the two families separated a hundred years ago. You, Xu Anbang, talk about sister Zhirou, which makes him a little jealous.
He rolled his eyes and hurriedly took out a bottle of elixir: "Second sister, this bottle of Peiyuan elixir is for Luo Jing. She is currently studying in the academy. As an uncle, I have to do my best. ." After saying that, without waiting for Xu Zhirou to refuse, he stuffed it directly into her hand.
Peiyuan Dan is a second-grade elixir, and it costs twenty to thirty dry gold per piece. If you take out a bottle of several pills, it is not a small sum for the Jinsha Xu family.
"This..." Xu Zhirou held the bottles of Beauty Pill and Peiyuan Pill in her hands, feeling a little embarrassed and looked at Wang Shouzhe for help.
Unexpectedly.
Before Wang Shouzhe could speak, the ancestor of Changning Beichen waved his hands with a smile and said: "Zhirou is a rare talent in our Xu family. You have worked so hard for the development project of the three clans. You two family heads are too stingy. .Xu Ningwei, do you think so?"
Xu Ningwei is the ancestor of the Xu family in Jinsha, Ningwei. In terms of seniority, he is the great-nephew of the Beichen ancestor. At that time, the founding ancestor of the Jinsha Xu family was Xu Beixing, the direct brother of the Beichen ancestor, also known as the Beixing ancestor.
Ancestor Beixing and Ancestor Zhou Xuan are about the same age, and they were also amazingly talented people at the time. It's a pity that due to resource constraints, he has stayed at the beginning of the Lingtai realm his whole life.
Xu Ningwei, the ancestor of Ningwei, is the grandson of Xu Beixing and the second generation ancestor of the Jinsha Xu family. Facing Ancestor Beichen, who was naturally a head shorter, he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Ancestor is right."
After the ancestor spoke, the two family heads naturally stepped up their efforts again and continued to please Xu Zhirou.
This made Wang Shouzhe secretly smile, the fourth aunt really stood out.
However, this also shows how powerful the in-law families can be once they form an alliance. After all, everyone has various blood connections, and it is naturally easy to gain mutual trust.
Wang Shouzhe is also secretly a little proud. The prosperity of a family cannot be solely dependent on him. Only by everyone working hard can the family become stronger.
