Chapter 72 Brother-in-Law and Brother-in-Law

…

Subsequently.

He found an excuse to temporarily put Wang Lizi away, and listed out the plans that needed to be implemented recently, as well as the parts that required the ancestor's cooperation.

Inside the pavilion.

Ancestor Longyan's snow-white long hair danced slightly in the wind, and a breathtaking light appeared in his eyes like a pair of stars. His words were plain but murderous: "Shou Zhe's plan is very good, but why only Arrange me to act as a back-up? Most of the Yin evil poison in my body has been refined, and there is no need to worry about the backlash in a short period of time when I take action."

"Even if this plan attracts an old ghost, I, Wang Longyan, can kill him at some cost. There is no need to be afraid of attracting two old ghosts."

Wang Shouzhe raised his forehead, saying that his Longyan ancestor was good at everything, but he was too hot-tempered.

The war between these two families is like playing cards. How can one lose the king and explode at the first sign?

He arranged Longyan Ancestor into the plan just in case, as a back-up card. Now that her injury is improving rapidly, how can she be allowed to pay the price at will?

This kind of thinking is unacceptable.

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe solemnly raised his hands and said: "Ancestor, the confrontation between the Xuanwu family is no more brave and ruthless than individuals, and it is also different from marching and fighting. Because everyone involved in the action is their own relatives, generals, or They are close friends and relatives. Once something goes wrong, it is very likely to cause irreparable losses."

Ancestor Longyan perked up, calmed down slightly, and said apologetically: "Shouzhe, you are right. I, Wang Longyan, have been willful and spoiled for half my life. I have made many mistakes and caused many irreparable pasts. Yes. You must calm down and think about your own shortcomings."

"Old Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe said hurriedly, "There is no doubt about the great contribution and sacrifice you have made to the family. We, the younger generations, will remember it in our hearts. It's just that times have changed now. Our Wang family is secretly doing it, while the Liu family and the Zhao family are doing it openly. . What we have to do is to protect ourselves and at the same time, bite off a big piece of flesh from the other party. It can also be regarded as collecting some interest before collecting the debt. "

"In terms of strategy, I am inferior to Shouzhe." Ancestor Longyan's eyes flashed, "It all depends on your arrangement."

After receiving the approval of Longyan Ancestor, the heavy burden in Wang Shouzhe's heart was relieved. In fact, he did not need Longyan Ancestor to participate in this plan. But as he said, what he fears most is unplanned situations.

This move of Longyan Patriarch was used as a final trump card. She would not use it if possible. After all, her body had only just begun to improve.

"That's it." Wang Shouzhe resigned, "Ancestor, please take good care of yourself. I will inform you again when I take action."

After that, Wang Shouzhe resigned.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to drag away Wang Lizi who was about to eat, so as not to disturb the ancestor's cultivation.

…

More than an hour later.

On the pier in the backyard, a awning boat slowly sailed out. Wang Lizi was carrying a package that was messy in the wind. In addition to her change of clothes, the package also contained a large number of ancient books carefully selected by her fourth uncle.

Is this arranged?

"Big girl." Wang Shouzhe said goodbye to her with tears on the shore. "While contributing to the family in the prosperous farm, you must listen to the words of the sixth master. Of all the younger brothers, sisters and juniors in the family, the fourth uncle loves and respects you the most. Your brother Wang Zongwei will never be able to get such a good job in his next life."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Fourth, for your respect." Wang Lizi burst into tears instantly, "I'm so grateful to you."

"No need to thank you, it's all without saying anything." Wang Shouzhe was also full of emotions, as if he was giving away his daughter, and he had the urge to wipe his tears, "Wang Ju, Wang Zhu. You two must take good care of Miss Li Ci along the way, Qian Qian. Don’t slack off even a little bit.”

"Yes, head of the family."

The two female generals responded solemnly, and then they all stared at Wang Lizi. Obviously, their real task is not to take care of them, but to "escort them".

The boat is drifting away.

Wang Shouzhe stopped waving goodbye and returned with brisk and joyful steps.

But arrangements are arrangements. In fact, Wang Shouzhe just threw her over to polish her temper. In order to prevent this bastard child from being lazy and eating all day long, he actually wants to have some Xuanwu combat skills that don't require training and can become very strong just by eating and drinking all day long?

How can Wang Shouzhe, who has such Xuanwu combat skills or cultivation techniques, give him a try?

How come your brain is bigger than a time traveler like me?

unrealistic!

How long will it take to torture her? Three months is too long, and half a month is too short. Just give it a month, by which time you will have been sharpened enough. Then take him with you to teach him, and teach him well.

Li Ci, Li Ci, don’t blame your fourth uncle for being cruel.

As the saying goes, the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If you don’t work hard, how can you get rewards?

Wang Gui, who was following him, was even more cautious. He was really afraid that after accidentally offending the family owner, he would be assigned to go mining.

Originally, Wang Shouzhe was still thinking of taking Wang Lizi for a walk around the Acropolis to pick up some spiritual stones and use them back. It's just that Changning Guard is too chaotic now, so I would rather not take this risk for the time being.

Wang Shouzhe just returned to the yard.

Then I heard the concierge coming to report that Gongsun Zhong of the Gongsun family and Wang Liuyu of the Liu family had returned to their parents' home to visit their relatives. And he said that he came here only after receiving the letter from the head of the family.

As soon as I heard they were coming.

Wang Shouzhe felt refreshed, that is, the matter he entrusted Gongsun Zhong to investigate was settled. Immediately let the concierge lead the way to the courtyard where the distinguished guests were entertained.

It is evening time now, and many people are enjoying the cool weather.

"Third aunt, third uncle." Wang Shouzhe greeted him as soon as he entered.

Gongsun Zhong and Wang Liuyu also hurriedly returned the gift. Although they have seniority, Wang Shouzhe is the head of the Wang clan.

"Luotong and Luo Jing are here too." Wang Shouzhe greeted his two sisters with a smile, and then solemnly saluted his fourth aunt Xu Zhirou, "Shouzhe has met her fourth aunt."

His fourth aunt Xu Zhirou raised him and Wang Luoyi for a period of time, and this kindness will always be remembered.

"Shou Zhe is welcome." Xu Zhirou also hurriedly returned the greeting solemnly.

It is quite normal for them to appear here. Wang Liuyu and Luo Jing's late father Wang Dingbang are full-blooded siblings, so the relationship between the two parties is naturally unusual.

Next, we entertained and ate.

evening.

Wang Shouzhe met Gongsun Zhong alone. Gongsun Zhong sent his servants to deliver some things to his yard.

There were baskets and baskets of stones, some iron ore powder, some white gypsum, and other miscellaneous things.

"Shouzhe, when you wrote to me, I brought you some of the things described above. I didn't know if they were right, so I brought a lot of them." Gongsun Zhong, who has dark skin, is a very honest and honest man.

He has been working in Gongsun's mines since he was eighteen years old, and is very familiar with various mineral stones. If Wang Shouzhe wants to engage in cement, he cannot avoid the Gongsun family.

And to be honest, there is no need to go around it. With the strength of Ping An Wang, it would be too risky to monopolize the benefits of cement. In his plan, if the cement industry is to be successful, he must at least involve the Gongsun family and the Donggang Chen family to do it together.

Of course, the premise is that the research and development is successful.

"Thank you, Third Uncle. How much is the total?" Wang Shouzhe said gratefully, "I can settle the settlement with you."

"They are all worthless scraps. There are not more than ten cartloads of them in total," Gongsun Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My second uncle also told me that no money is allowed."

"Then thank you third uncle, and thank you grandpa." Wang Shouzhe thanked him without being pretentious about it.

After chatting for a while, Gongsun Zhong, who was not good at speaking, left.

When it comes to cement research and development, Wang Shouzhe has basically come up with an idea. He has been trying to think about it recently and has roughly drawn some directions. This thing is not much different from oyster ash. It is calcined through limestone and some messy things, then mixed with gypsum and ground into powder.

Most of the raw materials are very cheap. The only one that is slightly valuable is iron powder, but the content of this stuff should be very low.

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe would not develop cement himself. Instead, he had previously found a kiln worker from a branch of the Wang family who specialized in firing kilns. The family of kiln workers had built kilns and fired bricks for many generations.

It is said that their ancestors also specialized in kiln burning, and they followed Zhou Xuan's ancestors southward because of this skill. Many of the bricks in my main house were fired by that family.

"Wang Gui." Wang Shouzhe handed over the written "Guidelines for Research and Development of Cement" to Wang Gui. "These are all compiled from ancient books. The clues about [Iron Clay] are similar to oyster ash. I will add some redundant information." I don’t understand either. Early tomorrow morning, you will hand over this information and the research and development materials for about ten cars to Wang, yes, Wang Jingyuan.”

"Yes, head of the family." Wang Gui followed his words and put away the information.

Wang Shouzhe naturally attaches great importance to cement and hopes that the research and development will be successful, but he is still a layman after all. It is better to provide ideas to professionals. Kiln workers have been dealing with bricks and tiles all their lives and are no strangers to oyster ash and even some earth-made adhesives.

These professionals are experienced and smart. Many times, it is just a lack of a bright direction.

It doesn't matter if you can't develop it for a while. Take your time and you will get it one day.

Similarly, in terms of papermaking, Wang Shouzhe naturally just wrote the "Paper Research and Development Guide", and then found some intelligent, reliable, and open-minded woodworkers from the collateral clansmen, paid them a research and development fee, and let them handle it on their own.

The collateral population base has this advantage. Talents in all walks of life can always be found.

At present, Wang Shouzhe needs to focus more on his big plan to snipe the Liu family and the Zhao family.

…

night.

Already deep.

Outside the Dingpu Ferry in Anjiang, a medium-sized luxury boat floated on the wavy river. This ship is obviously not a transport ship, but is specially used by people of high status to travel.

This boat loft is exquisitely built, using expensive woods and colors everywhere, and is full of luxurious and high-end atmosphere.

In the main hall of the attic, the decoration is even more luxurious, as if a descendant of a large family moved the expensive living room and bedrooms to the ship. Aren’t those antique vases that look very precious, afraid of being struck by a storm and smashed to pieces?

You can see how luxurious it is.

However, at this time, two very young and heroic men were looking at each other in this hall. There is also a beautiful and "unprecedented" woman on the side, who looks like a fairy from the dust, standing with her hands down in sincerity and fear.

A pair of moving eyes, one moment secretly glanced at this, the next moment secretly glanced at that.

Or is the head of the family more handsome? She secretly and somewhat happily came to a conclusion.
