Chapter 230: Chapter 22: Wail! How Unfair is Heaven_2
Hearing this, Wang Luotong giggled continuously, saying it was amusing.
The younger Wang Zongsheng also chimed in, finding it quite interesting as well. He mentioned that in two years, he would go to Changning Guard to stay for a while, to help out at the Ping’an Wang’s Fish Stall where his father Wang Shouyi was stationed, and to gain some experience and insight along the way.
Wang Shouyue finally regained his senses.
Listening to those so-called interesting stories, he felt they were quite ordinary and nothing novel. After a sense of superiority arose in his heart, he immediately joined the conversation, discussing various strange and unusual tales from Longzuo County City.
Wang Luotong and a few others listened with exclamations of amazement, finding it very fresh and entertaining. After all, Longzuo County City was too far from Changning Guard, and their news didn’t flow smoothly.
It turned out there were so many fun things in Longzuo County City.
Seeing the three of them looking very interested.
Wang Shouyue grew more enthusiastic in his speech, eloquently saying, "You may not know, but nowadays, the surrounding areas of Longzuo County have begun cultivating a wheat species called ’Wang’s No. 7.’ This wheat species can increase the annual yield by a good forty to fifty percent. The overall additional revenue also exceeds last year’s by thirty percent."
"However, it’s a pity that Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species is hard to come by, and it cannot be reproduced. Our Longzuo Wang Family only managed to obtain a few thousand acres of wheat through friendly connections."
"I wonder which Wang Family developed such a wheat species, truly bringing honor to our family name. Just by those wheat and rice strains, that Wang Family must be making a fortune."
There are numerous Wang Families in the world; in Longzuo County alone, there must be a dozen or twenty. Looking across the entire Daqian Kingdom, the Wang families are even more countless.
Thus, it naturally did not occur to Wang Shouyue that the Ping’an Wang Family was the real owner of the wheat and rice species.
Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species.
Wang Shouye and the other two couldn’t help but exchange glances, showing strange expressions.
At the same time.
Wang Shouyue continued excitedly, "However, soon we can get more Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species and Wang’s No. 9 Rice Species. By then, after discussing with the ancestor, I can spare some for you Ping’an Wang Family, to help you increase the yield of your farms."
This also shows that although this youngster has an unrestrained mouth and a strong sense of superiority, he is not bad at heart.
At once, Wang Shouye felt rather embarrassed and couldn’t bear to let him continue, hurriedly cupping his hands with a dry laugh and saying, "Brother Shouyue, well, that is. Please take a look at the surrounding fields first."
Wang Shouyue glanced around and saw neatly arranged fields. It was clear they were planted with winter wheat this season. Now with winter gone and spring arriving, the wheat seedlings had already emerged, with patches of tender green sprouting everywhere, very pleasing to the eye.
"The planning and organization of Ping’an Town are good, very tidy and aesthetically pleasing," Wang Shouyue said straightforwardly, "But I see villages nearby; these are likely the fields of ordinary citizens, right? What’s so special about them?"
"Ahem." Wang Shouye coughed twice, then patiently explained, "Brother Shouyue, all of these are Wang’s No. 7 Winter Wheat."
"What?" Wang Shouyue was immediately struck as if by lightning, his eyes widening as he looked around, stammering, "This many high-quality fields, all planted with Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species?"
"All of them." Wang Shouye said in a low voice, "All the common folk in Ping’an Town plant Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species, about eighty to ninety thousand acres."
"How can this be?" Wang Shouyue staggered back two steps, seemingly in disbelief, his face reddened, repeatedly protesting, "Aren’t these all common people’s fields? How could they all be planted with Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species?"
"Even if your Ping’an Wang Family managed to get good strains, you would surely only use them on your own estate, right? How could you let commoners benefit!"
After all, we are all relatives, all of the Shou generation.
Wang Shouye, unwilling to let him feel more awkward, softly reminded, "Brother Shouyue, Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species. Something to think about, the key point is — Wang’s."
"Wang’s, Wang’s!" Wang Shouye trembled all over, his face filled with shock, "This, this! Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species was actually cultivated by your Ping’an Wang Family?"
He was speechless.
He just wanted to boast a bit about the advancements in Longzuo County, to satisfy his inner sense of superiority!
What on earth is going on in this world, was he wrong?
Heaven, do you have to torment Wang Shouyue like this!
In an instant, Wang Shouyue’s face flushed hotly, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
It was Wang Xiaozheng who, equally shocked, came to de-escalate, saying, "Who would have thought, really didn’t expect it. Our Ping’an Wang Family is so lucky to have cultivated excellent wheat and rice strains, truly a sign of a mighty rise."
The Wang Family naturally responded with modesty, minor achievements, nothing to boast about, nothing to boast about.
In fact, they are all core members of the family. They know well that Wang’s No. 7 Wheat Species and Wang’s No. 9 Rice Species were nothing more than the family’s discarded varieties.
Within the strictly guarded core farm.
The mysterious wheat and rice species planted there are truly the terrifying core industry.
Their high yield and quality dare not bear the Wang name, only secretly sold to neighboring counties through some special channels.
Of course, this is something that will absolutely not be disclosed. This is the core secret of the Wang Family, something not even known to in-laws and allies.
"My two guests, let’s get on the carriage. After arriving at the main house, Fourth Brother will give both of you a proper reception." Wang Shouye, being an outstanding family member, naturally didn’t want the guests to feel awkward and uncomfortable, so he shifted the topic.
