Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 293: Chapter 48: Madam, Don’t Plot against Your Own Husband! (There are tasks to be done in review section) _1

…

Hearing Master Yunyang’s brave and confident words, Senior Brother Mingda’s face grew serious, tinged with a hint of worry.

Master, don’t speak too hastily. Our little junior sister here has an extraordinary appetite.

“Mingda…” After his boastful declaration, Master Yunyang glanced at his beloved disciple, showing a rare hint of displeasure. “Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be off on your task?”

Senior Brother Mingda was taken aback: “Master, I just returned from completing a task.”

“Mingda, the situation has changed.” Master Yunyang said with a heavy heart, “We have another little junior sister to support now. Go on, take on more tasks from the Academic Palace, preferably the lucrative ones.”

“Yes, Master.”

Senior Brother Mingda’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

This doesn’t seem to bode well~ But a disciple shouldn’t defy his teacher’s tasks, so what else could he do but obediently comply?

After excusing himself, he went straight down the mountain to embark on his quest of making money.

Once Master Yunyang’s imposing aura subsided, Wang Licui’s Dharma shadow also faded away.

She seemed somewhat anxious, “Master, is there anything wrong with my bloodline?”

“No problem at all. You just need to eat and drink nicely…no, I mean cultivate peacefully. Leave the rest to your master and older brothers.” Master Yunyang gave Wang Licui a particularly amiable smile. His eyes were filled with joy; it was as if he had discovered a treasure.

With such an excellent disciple in the Yunyang lineage, we should be overjoyed~

Then, Master Yunyang sent a message to all his disciples, asking them to choose tasks that earn money in the future, and to collect ingredients on the way as much as possible.

Amid all this care and consideration, Wang Licui’s heart melted.

Master and older brothers were really good to her. Her Fourth Uncle was right; the Academic Palace was a great place. She made the right choice coming here.

…

Let’s not mention Wang Licui’s leisurely life in Yunyang’s lineage, nor speculate how long it will last for now.

In the following days.

Wang Shouzhe spent his time immersed in the library of the Academic Palace, using the token for direct disciples given by Master Changchun. With the help of a young senior sister Green Fern, he had consulted a large number of ancient maps of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Based on the structure of these maps, and predictions about changes over time, Wang Shouzhe finally pinpointed the training location of the Divine Martial Army of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

However, this location…

Wang Shouzhe sighed endlessly, and his mood became even heavier.

This place was deep within the foreign territory, more than ten thousand miles away.

How dangerous is the foreign territory? Forget about ten thousand miles, even going a thousand miles inward poses a great risk to Profound Martial practitioners in the Spirit Platform Realm.

The Wang family from Ping’an can currently only venture five hundred miles in with their Autumn Hunting team.

If they were to go beyond this range, they would need to strengthen their team. More importantly, they would have to advance very cautiously. Wang Shouzhe did not want his clansmen to take unnecessary risks.

Moreover, venturing deep into the foreign territory for tens of thousands of miles would inevitably lead to encounters with Level Five or Level Six Fierce Beasts, and it was even possible to encounter Level Seven Fierce Beasts.

Forget it, let’s put this matter aside first.

When our family’s strength increases, we will slowly move in that direction.

After leaving the library, Wang Shouzhe returned to Changchun Valley.

However, as soon as he stepped in, he was stopped by a group of senior female disciples.

“Junior Brother Shouzhe, do you have any more skincare and makeup products?”

“We have used all the samples you gave us before, and our skin has indeed become better and more radiant.”

“But it’s a pity that the quantity was too small.”

A group of women surrounded him, clamouring and making a fuss.

“Dear senior sisters, please calm down.” Wang Shouzhe took out a stack of leaflets as he had prepared earlier. “This shows the pictures and prices of cosmetics, skincare products, shampoos, and conditioners. After my return, I will try my best to acquire precious raw materials to produce more. You can place orders through my nephew Wang Zongsheng. Every six months, I will ask the Qian Family’s commercial firm to deliver a batch.”

Wang Shouzhe thought inwardly: Zongsheng, my nephew, your Fourth Uncle can only help you so much, you have to seize this opportunity yourself~

“Every six months?”

The senior sisters were all disappointed.

“All of our sisters in Changchun Valley are naturally beautiful, with delicate and tender looks. It shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t use these products for a while.” Wang Shouzhe said with a bright smile, “Moreover, all sisters from Changchun Valley who order the products will receive a 20% discount.”

A discount of 20%!

The senior sisters’ eyes brightened and they showered Wang Shouzhe with praise.

Just as Wang Shouzhe managed to appease the senior sisters, he was immediately surrounded by a group of male disciples from Changchun Valley before he could take a few steps.

“Senior Brother Shouzhe, the ‘Witch No.3’ vine seeds you gave us are extremely effective.” One of the male disciples exclaimed excitedly, “Yesterday, after practicing with an older brother from Leisure Peak, I was able to completely overpower him. Our sisters have started to look at me differently.”

The rest of the male disciples also expressed their exhilaration.

What man doesn’t want to become stronger? Who doesn’t want to show off in front of their junior sisters and senior sisters?

Just thinking about their soft voices cheering “Senior brother, go for it”, “Senior brother, you’re amazing”, made their blood boil.

They had never had such a soaring sensation before.

Not only was it exciting, but it was also addictive!

The “Witch No.3” was the vine seed used in Wang Shouzhe’s current Vine Array. Just for now, this seed could only be cultivated by him personally and could not be replicated by others.

A few days ago, as per the eager requests of Changchun Valley’s disciples, Wang Shouzhe distributed some of these seeds among them, allowing them to experience the power of a weakened version of the Vine Array.

Of course, due to the constraints of their bloodlines, with just the Longevity Youth True Verses to stimulate the seed, their speed was significantly slower than Wang Shouzhe’s.

However, he had spent more than eight years gradually improving these vine seeds, putting a lot of effort into their rapid growth.

These seeds, upon their final formation, stored a lot of energy. This allowed them to be activated with only a small amount of the energy from the Longevity youth.

Therefore, these disciples from Changchun were barely able to use the “Witch No.3” seeds in combat.

Seeing the juniors from Changchun Valley staring at him with “hungry” eyes, Wang Shouzhe tried to comfort them: “Brothers, I didn’t bring many seeds this time. Moreover, these vine seeds are not easy to cultivate, so please give me some time.”

“Like this then, take these booklets first.” Wang Shouzhe pulled out a stack of booklets and distributed them to everyone, “Every six months I will commission the Qian Family’s trading company to ship a batch. If you have any requirements you can pre-order through my nephew Wang Zongsheng.”

With this, Wang Shouzhe finally satisfied these male disciples.

This was a trick Wang Shouzhe came up with. Back in the days on Earth when online shopping didn’t exist, it was all done through mail order using these types of booklets.

Whether it’s mail order or online shopping, both are inseparable from logistics.

The Qian Family’s trading company currently has branches all over Longzuo County, it’s hugely scaled and already has the rudiments of a logistics system, barely enough to meet the demands of mail order business.

Wang Shouzhe did want to dabble in delivery and logistics, but with Ping’an Wang Family’s current strength and scale, they simply couldn’t control this field. Even if they partnered with the Qian Family’s trading company, they would be ignored, and even if they did provide a business plan, they would just be making clothes for others.

In the final analysis, it’s because the overall strength of the Ping’an Wang Family is too weak.

If one day his younger sisters Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luo Jing reached the level of Purple Abode Masters, the Wang family would finally qualify to genuinely cooperate with the Qian Family’s trading company.

However, that’s at least two to three hundred years in the future at the soonest.

All of a sudden.

Wang Shouzhe came up with an idea.

However, this idea still needs to be carefully considered.

There’s no rush for now.

…

Then, Wang Shouzhe stayed at the Academic Palace for another seven or eight days, expanding his contacts, before bidding farewell to his nephews, nieces, and younger sisters.

During this period, he naturally learned that his eldest niece, Wang Licui, had joined the faction of the Vice Dean, Yunyang.

At this, Wang Shouzhe silently expressed sympathy for the Vice Dean.

Luckily, every member of the Wang family had already found their own path, the future is certainly promising.

After bidding farewell, Wang Shouzhe’s convoy slowly set off, returning all the way to Changning.

It was only early spring in February when they originally set off, by the time they returned to Changning it was already May. The weather was somewhat sultry, a season of heavy rain.

Continuous torrential rain is very likely to cause flooding in the Peace River, leading to floods throughout the Ping’an District.

In the history of Ping’an Town, which spans over a hundred years, major flood disasters have occurred twice, and smaller scale floods occur every few years.

Humans like to live by the water, both for living and farming, water is indispensable. However, when water disasters occur, they can also cause great harm to humans.

Issues like reduced food production and collapsed houses are considered minor; if too many people and livestock die after a flood, causing a plague, that would truly be terrifying.

Hence, just when he had traversed time.

Wang Shouzhe took great interest in the irrigation works of Ping’an Town.

Over the past eight years, he has ordered people to gradually understand the geographical situation of the entire Ping’an Town. They not only prepared detailed topographic maps but also spent great effort making a huge topographic sand table.

The pioneering work of his ancestors and the protection of successive generations filled the family with deep sentiment for this land.

Although by law, Ping’an Town belongs to Da Qian, Wang Shouzhe privately considered it his own forbidden territory. He managed and constructed it from the ground up as if it were his own territory.

As soon as he returned, he heard reports of an endless rainy season this year, which seemed to herald a flood disaster. He immediately threw himself into intense work.

The huge sand table displayed the landscape of Ping’an Town in great detail in front of him.

Over the past eight years, the manpower and resources he has invested in irrigation works have been beyond calculation.

Luckily, Ping’an Town is only a small place. To the north is the Peace River, which arches over Ping’an Town. From the Broken Dragon Gorge in the west to the Fallen Eagle Gorge in the east, Ping’an Town stretches along the river for about a hundred and forty-five miles.

If the water level of the Peace River rises, if any section of the bank within these one hundred and forty-five miles breaks, a flood will pour into Ping’an Town.

Among them, the Broken Dragon Gorge on the western side is a constant headache for Wang Shouzhe.

Because the terrain there is narrow, the mouth of the gorge chokes off the upper course of the Peace River like a throat. This makes the water flow of Ping’an Town’s section rapid and rather fierce.

This may not mean much during ordinary times, but once the flood season arrives, it becomes a significant hidden danger.

Behind Ping’an Town are the intertwined branches of Liuping Mountain, which isolate Ping’an Town from the outside world.

Therefore, if a flood enters Ping’an Town, there would be no flood discharge channel. If the water level continues to rise, there’s a possibility that the entire Ping’an Town could turn into a lake.

Wang Shouzhe examined all the terrain on the sand table, constantly debating the weak points.

After a long time, Liu Ruolan brought some pastries, softly saying, “Husband, have something to eat first, take a break.”

“This Broken Dragon Gorge…” Wang Shouzhe muttered, “One day, I will flatten it.”

“Pfft~”

Liu Ruolan covered her mouth and laughed, “My husband really has grand ambitions. When that day comes, I’ll join my husband in doing the work.”

In fact, places like the Broken Dragon Gorge are excellent for hydropower generation. Before he traversed time, Earth’s Three Gorges was such a project.

Of course, such large water facilities have their pros and cons. The damage they can cause to the ecological environment can be quite devastating.

Wang Shouzhe momentarily let go of all distractions, savoring the “love pastries” personally made by Liu Ruolan.

Hmm.

They are as unpalatable as always.

But he continued to act as if he was enjoying them: “My wife’s cooking skills are really good.”

“If my husband likes it, I’ll take care of all your meals from now on.” Liu Ruolan’s beautiful face flushed with joy.

Wang Shouzhe’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “My wife, do not plot to kill your husband.”

Plot to kill her husband?!

Liu Ruolan’s face gradually changed.

Damn!

A shock went through Wang Shouzhe’s heart, he seemed to have spoken without thinking.
