Protect Our Patriarch

　　...

　　 time, two days passed without being surprised.

　　Wang Shouzhe spent the past two days in the Changning Bieyuan to cultivate his body, drink spiritual tea, and practice cultivation. It is rare to have a small life more comfortable.

　　 But the outside world has changed drastically in the past two days. As the wheat filling intensified, the first wave of insect plagues spread through the entire Changningwei area with lightning speed. Every family was panicked.

　　 Due to the inevitable reduction in production, the prices of other agricultural and sideline products have begun to rise, except for the staple food strictly controlled by the major officials. Even the salted fish and smoked fish business of the Wang's fish stall has suddenly improved a lot, and the price has also risen substantially. In the absence of staple food, salted fish and smoked fish that can be preserved for a long time can also sustain life.

　　 Various commercial firms have stopped selling grain. The rice shops in the official camps of the leading cadres began to sell in limited quantities. Before the rice shops in the official camps, a long line was formed, and the city guards had stepped in to maintain order.

　　Wang Shouzhe was drinking tea and listening to the news gathered from all walks of life, his heart was turbulent. If it weren't for a baby bump like Wang Luojing in the family, it must have already begun to burn, right?

　　 How can I look at the surging wind with leisurely feeling like I am now.

"Fourth brother, Qian's firm sent someone to deliver the letter." Wang Shouyi personally came to the backyard to deliver the letter, and his brows were frowned. "In addition, the inventory of salted fish and smoked fish sent by Uncle Six has been in the past two days. Half of it is sold. I think that several fish stalls of other families have begun to restrict purchases or increase their prices significantly. Will our fish stalls also have to increase their prices?"

　　 Salted fish are also restricted for sale?

　　 After receiving the letter, Wang Shouzhe frowned. It seems that the news of a large-scale reduction in grain production has caused panic. He is no stranger to this scene. He has seen too many times when ordinary people face disasters or rumors in the face of disasters or rumors.

　　 And the salted fish and smoked fish sell too fast, right? The inventory that has been successively shipped over these several times has to be about eight or nine hundred dan. Before the price increase, the price of salted fish and smoked fish varies from 20 to 30 jin per catty, depending on the quality of the fish, and the price for a load is usually between 20 and 30 copper.

　　 Now the price has risen to 30 to 40 large copper loads, but it is selling faster.

　　 "Where are live fish and fresh fish?" Wang Shouzhe asked.

"Live fish has not risen, but fresh fish has generally risen by 20%." Wang Shouyi reported, "Many people bought fresh fish and went back to marinate or smoke them, or to reduce the loss of staple food and eat more fish, so the salt and firewood also increased. Price."

　　 As expected, he moved the whole body by pulling a hair.

　　The outbreak of drug-resistant aphids instantly affected all aspects. As soon as the price of basic materials such as salt, firewood, and carbon rises, everything will rise accordingly.

　　 "Second brother, you can increase the price as soon as you go." Wang Shouzhe said, "As for the restriction, the sale of salted fish and smoked fish is restricted to 20 dans a day, but in fact, it is sold at 50 dans internally."

　　 "Fifty dan? That's five thousand catties..." Wang Shouyi was surprised, "Can you keep up with Uncle Liu? Even if Uncle Liu can, it's too late to smoke and pickle at Dingpu Warehouse."

　　 It is the peak season for fish floods. If the fishing brigade on Wang Dinghai operates as in previous years, if ten boats work hard to catch a few thousand catties, it will be stable. An average fishing boat is just a few hundred catties of ordinary catch.

　　 Most of them will be marinated or smoked in the Dingpu warehouse. Under normal circumstances, the fish drying and smoking workshops over there have a monthly limit of 800 dan.

　　 But Wang Dinghai has completely copied and fixed the kite moving, and even ordinary people can operate that kind of thing. The daily output will continue to rise. During this peak season, it is not uncommon for the entire fishing brigade to add up to 10,000 catties.

"Increase the fish processing manpower and space, and you can use the empty space of the Fenggu Farm Xingsheng Farm. Also, the family servants, servants, and the free clansmen will all give it to me. We must ensure that the production of smoked and salted fish exceeds two thousand this month. Duty." Wang Shouzhe said, "Second brother, you can fully preside over this work."

　　 "As long as Uncle Six can keep up, I'm not afraid." In a short time, Wang Shouyi also burned fighting spirit, two thousand bucks of smoked and salted fish a month. At least three or four thousand quintals of fresh fish can be produced. The weight of the fish will be greatly reduced after slaughtered and smoked and sun-dried.

　　 If the sixth uncle can really supply the output, this is a good time to make money, how can his Wang Shouyi hold back?

　　 In previous years, the catch during the fish season was the cheapest, so a large number of ordinary catches were made into smoked fish and salted fish, and then kept for selling slowly. In previous years, the total output and sales of smoked and salted fish were only two thousand or several hundred dans. The total sales volume of fresh fish and live fish is about 2,000 quintals a year.

　　 The overall turnover can hardly exceed one thousand dry gold, and about half of this has to be allocated to the fishing brigade’s books.

　　 But it's different now.

　　 If you can really produce more than 2,000 dans this month, and sell 1,500 dans of smoked fish and kippers, you will have a turnover of 600 dry gold based on the 40 largest copper per dan after the price increase.

　　 This does not include selling fresh fish and live fish... This month is very likely to reach the usual year's turnover.

　　 Therefore, Wang Shouyi felt that the blood was burning! If you don't fight at this time, when will you work hard?

"Okay, then it's time for Brother Lao to run around." Wang Shouzhe wrote a patriarch's order, signed it, stamped the patriarch's seal, and handed it to him. The dry money is drawn from the accountant."

　　 "The dry gold will not be used for the time being." Wang Shouyi took the order letter and said excitedly, "This time the stock of salted fish is selling too fast. I still have two hundred dry gold on my account, which is enough for operation."

　　 "Second brother, you are busy, but don't make mistakes while you are busy, or omissions in the accounts." Wang Shouzhe warned casually.

Wang Shouyi's body shook, and his eyes became serious and hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, as a member of the family, I will never violate the clan rules. I will hand over the accounts with the accountant chaired by my fifth aunt every month, so I dare not dare. There are omissions."

　　 "Second brother has worked hard." Wang Shouzhe solemnly saluted him, "This kind of opportunity is rare in a lifetime. Whether my Wang family can get rid of the fate of decline requires the whole family to do their best."

　　 Wang Shouzhe is still very satisfied. Although his second brother has mediocre talent in cultivation, he is very dedicated to his family business. Compared with that big old man of Six Uncle Wang Dinghai, he is even more careful and steady.

　　 "The four brothers are serious, these are my duties." Wang Shouyi hurriedly bowed his hand in return, and said, "If this is the case, Brother Yu will retire first and deal with all things."

　　 After he left, Wang Shouzhe settled down. Then he opened the letter from Qian Xue'an and asked him to meet at [Ju Cai Zhuang] outside Changning Weicheng. The secret note left on the letterhead indicated that Qian Xuean had fulfilled the agreement.

　　 However, although he believed in Qian Xuean, he did not dare to take any risks this time. He focused on being safe in everything.

　　 Immediately, he dressed up and went straight out of the city. He didn't go to Jucai Village first, but rode a black horse towards Shanyang. After a short time, I saw Wang Zhong outside a small manor a few miles outside the city.

　　 "Wang Zhong, how are things going?" Wang Shouzhe asked.

　　 "Thanks to the Patriarch, fortunately, Patriarch Gongsun has come by appointment and is waiting in the manor." Wang Zhong said with a slight excitement. He has been waiting for seven or eight hours outside the manor.

　　Wang's power is mostly on the south bank of Anjiang. If you want to find multiple carriages on the north bank, you can only rely on the Shanyang Gongsun family. The relationship between him and the Gongsun family is now in the honeymoon period, and his little demands will not be refuted.

　　 entered this small leisure manor outside Changning city belonging to the family of Shanyang Gongsun, met with Gongsunqiang, and said, "Shouzhe has seen the uncle, and the tired uncle has been waiting for a long time."

"I didn't wait long, it's Shouzhe, your mysterious request to call twenty carriages or a heavy-duty carriage for transporting ore, do you want to do it?" Gongsun Qiang is a short-hearted man with low emotional intelligence, and he is curious as soon as he meets. .

　　 "It's not something special." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "It's just transporting five or sixty thousand tons of old grain." Since he was allowed to participate, he naturally couldn't hold back the quantity.

　　"..."

　　At this moment, Gongsun Qiang's eyes were almost staring, "Cheap nephew", don't you know that food is hard to find now? You still breathe five to six thousand tons...

　　 only?

　　 He has the urge to explode. Compared with this elder nephew, the patriarch, he feels that this 38-year-old "young patriarch" has gone with him.
