...
Ti flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the year had passed.
Early spring.
The small river had thawed, and the tender grass in the fields had begun to peep out slightly.
During the ti before the year ended, Wang Shouzhe was busy inside and out, hardly getting a break. Mainly, he took the opportunity to fully utilize his Triple Bloodline Talent.
Red Crystal Spirit Rice, White Jade Spirit Rice.
Both types of spirit rice had entered large-scale production of spirit seeds, thus adding two pillar industries to the Wang Family.
Especially the White Jade Spirit Rice, which can be planted on lower-grade spirit fields, making it the most widely grown spirit rice in the entire Daqian Kingdom.
Many of the Eighth and Ninth-Grade Noble Families own a more or less number of lower-grade spirit fields, and most of these fields are planted with White Jade Spirit Rice.
The White Jade Spirit Rice has a high yield, is easy to maintain, and the planting threshold is relatively low. It is the primary spirit plant choice for the vast majority of lower-grade spirit fields.
Because of this, if the yield of White Jade Spirit Rice can be increased by two to three tenths, the seeds would sell very well, and many families would rush to buy them.
After all, with limited spirit field space at ho, who wouldn’t want to increase spirit rice revenue if they could?
However, due to limited ti, the Red Crystal Spirit Rice No. 6 and White Jade Spirit Rice No. 5 cultivated by Wang Shouzhe could only increase yields by about three-tenths.
Even so, it was enough to transform the family’s spirit fields from producing spirit rice just for eating into producing spirit seeds.
Don’t underestimate the White Jade Spirit Rice even if it’s relatively cheap, only worth 20 Large Copper per pound, but given the vast number of lower-grade spirit fields owned by the Wang Family, just the Xinsheng Farm alone has 60 acres of lower-grade spirit fields.
Additionally, from the farms rged from the Liu and Zhao Clans, the original 100 acres of spirit fields had been developed to 150 acres.
Therefore, the Wang Family currently owns a total of 210 acres of lower-grade spirit fields.
Planting all with the high-yield White Jade Spirit Rice No. 5 seeds, the annual output reaches nearly 100,000 pounds!!
These 100,000 pounds of White Jade Spirit Rice, even if sold as food, represent a huge inco. If sold as spirit seeds, the revenue would at least double or triple.
Thinking of this, Wang Shouzhe felt a secret delight in his heart.
There is nothing more enjoyable than farming.
And nothing more profitable than farming.
Of course, the various secondary products are also yielding good returns currently, especially since they haven’t been imitated by others yet, their benefits shouldn’t be underestimated.
Moreover, Wang Shouzhe had left many tricks up his sleeve; what is being sold now might not necessarily be the latest version.
Once soone tries to imitate, he naturally has ways to deal with it.
On this day, a person was sent from the R&D center he had long established to report that another important project—[Mirror]—which Wang Shouzhe greatly valued, seed to have shown results.
With that news, Wang Shouzhe rushed to the R&D center without delay.
...
At the sa ti, at Changning Guandu.
It was the only official passage between Changning Guard and Ping’an Town.
If you want to enter or leave Ping’an Town, under normal circumstances you can only take the ferry between Changning Ferry and Dingpu Ferry.
Otherwise, any other ans of entry would be considered illegal immigration, and the Ping’an Wang Family certainly doesn’t tolerate such acts.
At noon.
A carriage slowly turned off the main road and entered the Changning Guandu ferry terminal.
The carriage’s cabin was designed in a simple and heavy style, with the symbol of a certain noble family subtly carved into unobtrusive areas, low-key yet not lacking in luxury.
The horses pulling the carriage were surprisingly two pure black strong horses, clearly not ordinary breeds.
Just these two horses were worth over a hundred Qian Gold, and their feed had to be high-quality, costlier than supporting seven or eight people.
It was very apparent, the passengers inside this carriage were either rich or noble, likely dignitaries from a Black Tortoise Clan.
So traveling rchants and passers-by, upon seeing the carriage, quickly stepped aside.
This is the way ordinary people survive in this world.
The carriage entered the ferry terminal.
From the carriage stepped down an elderly and a younger individual.
The elderly man appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, yet he looked vigorous and spirited. His clothes weren’t luxurious, but exuded an exceptional elegance, brimming with self-confidence.
The young man, roughly in his twenties.
Wearing a Black Tortoise Martial Attire with white floral patterns on the base and black and gold edges, his head adorned with a Jade Crown, and a Treasure Sword at his waist, he appeared as a spirited and imposing young gentleman.
The young man’s eyes scanned the facilities within Changning Guandu and frowned slightly, "Third Grandpa, I didn’t expect this Changning Guard to be so poor! Even the ferry terminal is shabby. So buildings look like they haven’t been repaired in decades?"
"Shouyue, how many tis have I told you? This isn’t like ho; you must be careful with your words when out and about," the old man frowned slightly, criticizing in a low voice, "Sotis, one ill-considered word can invite disaster, leading to regret."
"Third Grandpa, aren’t you being overly cautious?" the young man called Shouyue said indifferently, "In this Changning Guard, only the Huangfu and Lei Families are worth our attention. Other Black Tortoise Clans, at most Eighth Grade, offending them is no big deal."
As he spoke, the young man carried himself with pride and looked around arrogantly.
The old man’s face turned stern, "Wang Shouyue, this ti we’re out to handle important matters, also to broaden your horizons and gain so experience. If you can’t control yourself, then return. How many tis must I tell you, never to underestimate any local power?"
Wang Shouyue hurriedly put on a sheepish grin, "Third Grandpa, I was wrong." After apologizing, he quickly changed the subject, "Third Grandpa, since we’re going to the East Sea Guard for business, why not head directly there? Why detour to this countryside to visit so relatives?"
