The page "jumps" to the fishing brigade details page.
***【Fishing Brigade】***

Medium-sized fishing boat: 1
Boat workers and fishermen: 46
Family leader: Wang Dinghai
Average annual income in the first five years: 606 dry gold
Average annual expenditure in the first five years: 385 dry gold
Average annual net profit in the first five years: 221 dry gold
Average number of spirit fish caught in the past five years: 400 pounds
…
Direction for improvement: Develop mixed fishing operations with multiple fishing gears
…
Goals for this year:
Net profit target: 1,000 dry gold
Spirit fish goal: 1,000 pounds
This is the simple dashboard of the fishing brigade, which records the financial data before Wang Shouzhe took office, as well as the direction for improvement and this year's profit target.
According to Wang Shouzhe's estimation, this goal is easily achieved. After all, it is now the peak season, and there is a shortage of food due to insect pests this year. As a partial substitute for staple food, the price of fish will inevitably rise.
For the two industries of fishing brigade and fish stalls, Wang Shouzhe's total profit target is 2,000 dry gold.
However, the only problem is that after the fishing brigade increases the catch, it is very likely to gradually destroy the ecological balance, although it will not be a big problem within a few years.
However, this is not a long-term solution after all.
For a Xuanwu family, long-term and stable sources of income are the real pillar industry. The huge profits in the short term can only be used as a supplement to the family industry.
An industry like [Fenggu Farm] is a real century-old foundation, and it can even continuously provide resources to a Xuanwu family for hundreds of years.
this point is very important.
There is no shortage of huge profits in the Xuanwu world. You may be lucky enough to pick up a treasure, or you may encounter the legacy of a certain senior, or you may encounter two high-level ferocious beasts that die together, and other miracles. These will make you violent overnight. rich.
But what about after getting rich? No matter how many resources you have, they will be exhausted, and only the foundation can last forever.
Take Wang Shouzhe himself as an example. He is now eighteen years old and at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He currently consumes nearly 200 dry gold per year. According to the family's estimation, it would only take him about twenty years to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm. At that time, he was only thirty-eight years old, and he was in his prime.
Even if the resources of 200 dry gold remain unchanged, 4,000 dry gold will be consumed in twenty years.
Of course, it is impossible to remain unchanged. When he reaches the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm or the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, the resources consumed every year will increase rapidly. At his current level, he would have to consume at least 8,000 dry gold resources to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
Where do these resources come from? They are all squeezed out bit by bit from the annual output of the family's major industries. Those family properties that can continuously produce benefits for a long time are the real family businesses.
It is also for this reason that given the current situation of the Wang family, there is no power to cultivate a second Wang Shouzhe. Otherwise, even if the qualifications are slightly inferior, as long as you are willing to invest resources, you can still create a young master.
In fact, if Wang Shouzhe were to double or triple the size, resources would be invested regardless of the cost. It wouldn't take him twenty years to reach the peak of Qi Refining Realm, maybe only fifteen years, or even ten years or less.
This is why it is difficult for casual cultivators to achieve success. Casual cultivators have no roots or traces. Maybe they are lucky enough to get a lot of resources, but if they are not lucky, they may even go hungry.
The casual cultivators who can reach the Lingtai realm either have incredible aptitudes and good luck, or they have extreme luck.
Therefore, although Wang Shouzhe's resources of more than 10,000 gold seem to be a lot, it is only the total expenditure for several years when the family's life is tight. If there is no planning, at best it will be a fire for Wang, but it will lack any stamina.
Wang Shouzhe's mind was racing as he looked at the "simple system panel" he had made. How to spend money wisely was something he had been thinking about in the past few days.
What does the family lack most today? Of course, there is a lack of a strong person in the Lingtai realm. In this way, he can replace the position of Longyan ancestor and become the family's protective umbrella for a long time. After all, Ancestor Longyan's injury has never recovered, and the situation is getting worse.
But are more than 10,000 dry gold resources enough to support a Lingtai realm? That is naturally far from possible. If Lingtai Realm powerhouses were so cheap, the problem would have been easily solved with the total financial resources of the Ping An Wang family.
In fact, all the ancestors of the Lingtai realm of the Xuanwu family will be overrun. So this option can already be crossed off and no need to be considered.
All this money will be used to develop family property...
Wang Shouzhe has also considered this issue carefully, but how much family property can be developed with more than 10,000 dry gold? You must know that some industries that are called pillar industry are famous for their large scale, long development cycle, and relatively low input and output.
Just like Wang's Fenggu Farm, how much effort and capital have been invested by the predecessors? But how much is his normal annual benefit? If the year is better, a net profit of 700 to 800 gold would be good.
In the long run, it is inevitable to increase investment in pillar industries. However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst, so Wang Shouzhe drew a circle on this idea for the time being, waiting to be determined.
Or, purchase a large amount of cultivation resources to supply yourself and clan members with potential?
Wang Shouzhe has naturally considered this.
But there is still an increasingly tight marginal effect. If you let Wang Shouzhe take [Xiao Pei Yuan Dan] every day, can he cultivate to the Lingtai realm after taking it for several years?
Obviously not... let alone the Lingtai realm, even the ninth level of the Qi refining realm is not guaranteed.
Even if he can waste resources extremely viciously and reach the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm in just a few years, so what? Can the fundamental problem of family survival be solved?
Even a young man like him, who has the best qualifications in the family, can't do it, let alone other clan members?
The sixth grandfather, Wang Xiaohan, once failed to reach the Lingtai realm. Although his condition has declined as he grows older, he only stays at the ninth level of the Qi refining realm, but he is no longer in the peak state he once was. If he is given sufficient resources and confidence, he will have the opportunity to return to the peak of Qi refining and hit the Lingtai realm again. This is the fastest way Wang Shouzhe can think of to add a Lingtai realm ancestor to his family.
But this resource is still far from enough compared to the resources needed to attack the Lingtai realm. What's more, if the sixth grandfather Wang Xiaohan's mental and physical state is to be adjusted to a state that can impact the Lingtai realm, it will not be achieved overnight.
Wang Shouzhe thought about it, and if he could find a way to use the money to heal Patriarch Longyan's injuries and extend his life, it would be the most urgent thing.
But it is very obvious that it is absolutely impossible to completely cure Longyan Ancestor with just this money. If she could be cured by spending more than 10,000 gold, the family would have done so at all cost.
Therefore, even if she can be cured, the cost of curing her must be far more than the cost of supporting one or more powerful people in the Lingtai realm.
Maybe a large sum of money would be invested to alleviate her injuries and extend her life.
Let's put it on the list of backup options first, Wang Shouzhe frowned and thought.
I really envy those time-travelers who have a real golden finger system. All difficulties can be solved by golden fingers. All they have to do is laugh and have fun all day long, and they can stop people from killing Buddhas and kill Buddhas. They can spend as much as they want.
It's not like him. He has only two dollars but he still has to think carefully about how to use it wisely. From the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, at a certain stage in such a small realm, it takes several months to slowly practice and polish. This is because he has relatively abundant resources and speed. Far superior to others.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this world is quite real. The road to becoming a strong person always needs to be walked step by step.
While he was thinking wildly, his aunt Gongsun Hui sent his maid Xia He over, saying that the ancestor of Longyan had summoned him to meet him.
Ancestor Longyan summoned?
Wang Shouzhe was stunned for a moment and immediately raised his spirits. The ancestor has often been in seclusion in recent years, and has rarely summoned the family's children. She didn't even show up at Wang Dingyue's funeral, which shows that her physical condition was not very good.
Even Wang Shouzhe, the most favored member of the seventh generation, has not seen his ancestor for more than a year. On weekdays, aunt Gongsun Hui takes care of the ancestor.
"Thank you, Miss Xia He." Wang Shouzhe was quite polite to Xia He.
Xia He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Master, you're welcome. If you don't have anything important to do, just let me go see my ancestor."
She is Gongsun Hui's sidekick. She has been groomed since she was nine years old and is now nineteen years old. Although he has no cultivation qualifications, he is quite intelligent, literate, and proficient in Jiuzhang arithmetic.
She helped calculate and summarize many of Auntie’s accounts.
Subsequently.
Wang Shouzhe followed Xia He all the way to the side courtyard. The side courtyard where Longyan ancestor lived in seclusion was relatively close to Zhuwei Lake. In a short while, Wang Shouzhe arrived at the side courtyard named [Longyan Ju].
In order to prevent disturbing the Qing Dynasty of Longyan Ancestor, the area around this area is a family forbidden area, and no one is allowed to trespass without the ancestor's summons.
Gongsun Hui was already waiting at the door of Longyanju. After the two met, she said in a clear voice: "Ancestor, Shouzhe is already here."
"Shouzhe, come in."
A calm voice sounded softly at the door.
"Yes, ancestor." Wang Shouzhe took a deep breath, calmed down a little, opened the door and stepped into Longyan Residence.
This is a quaint courtyard with simple decoration and no luxury. In the courtyard, some ordinary flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere are simply planted, swaying slightly with the breeze.
In the pavilion, a thin woman stood leaning on the railing and looking at the garden scenery. Her back was to Wang Shouzhe, and her long white hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Wang Shouzhe's heart ached inexplicably when he saw the long snow-white hair. That was a profound memory from his previous life. When Wang Shouzhe was young, he clearly remembered that Longyan ancestor's hair was only half white.
It has only been a short period of ten years, but it has already turned completely white.
Wang Shouzhe's throat was slightly choked, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Shouzhe pays homage to the ancestor."
