Protect Our Chief-Chapter 671 - 79: Have More Children for the Rise of the Wang Family (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_3
Only in the surrounding areas, Shanyin Liu Family’s Cloud Mist Cave produces a small amount. Therefore, every time Liua Ruolan goes back to her maiden home to visit relatives during the Spirit Tea production season, she forcibly packs more than half of the yield like a robber and carefully stores it, just to cater to her husband’s liking.
These years, the young patriarch of the Liu Family, Liua Yuanhui, has privately expressed discontent. Unfortunately, his objections are useless, as he cannot defeat his sister, Liua Ruolan. Irritating her would only earn him a good thrashing.
While drinking tea, Wang Zongchang started to elaborate on his findings from the latest exploration of the Outer Domain.
Ordinarily.
The Wang Family conducts autumn and winter hunts every year and continuously expands the hunting range, which has become a form of exploration of the surrounding Outer Domain.
However, developing land in the Outer Domain is not the same as hunting. It involves comprehensive geographical surveys, detailed environmental analyses, marking and eliminating potential threats, and even planning for future development.
"Fourth Uncle, look at this area; it’s larger than our Ping’an Town, with a gentle terrain and numerous lakes spread across it. The land is fertile, and the water resources are abundant. If we invest heavily in development, the Wang Family could gain hundreds of thousands of acres of good farmland." Wang Zongchang introduced enthusiastically, holding a somewhat rough hand-drawn map to Wang Shouzhe, "As for those lakes, channels can be dug to connect them, which would aid irrigation and enable transportation. Besides, with these lakes, our Wang Family’s decades of fish farming techniques would finally find a place to utilize." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
On his handsome face was an excited expression, as if envisioning the future large-scale development of the Wang Family.
"The only issue is that including this area in our development plan would require extending the Shouzhe Pass construction plan by another thirty miles and building a pass at another gorge, while lengthening the originally planned ten-mile-long pass to twenty miles."
Upon hearing this.
Wang Shouzhe furrowed his brows. The position of the pass’s construction is not decided casually; it requires consideration of costs, defense, and the convenience of long-term stationing.
Most pass constructions are located at the narrowest and most dangerous parts of gorges.
Zongchang’s plan and vision would certainly bring a rich granary and fishing area to the Wang Family, but the risk and difficulty of development would also increase accordingly.
Additionally, once the pass is extended, the pressure of defense would exponentially increase.
"Zongchang’s idea is excellent." Wang Shouzhe first expressed admiration for Zongchang, but then he changed his tone, saying, "But we must take it step by step. Our Wang Family has developed for a short time, and our numbers are few. We might be unable to manage such a large piece of cake. Rather than getting overly ambitious and potentially facing danger, it’s more prudent to ensure stable survival. Considering we have many old and young in our Wang Family, stability is more important than development."
Wang Zongchang broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly bowed and said, "Fourth Uncle, it’s Zongchang’s haste and rashness."
"No worries, everyone can have different views; your Fourth Uncle isn’t necessarily right either." Wang Shouzhe poured him tea, smiling as he said, "While you’re resting at home this time, spend more time with Feifei. While you’re still young, contribute more children to our family; our Wang Family has too few people."
Wang Zongchang suddenly blushed shyly, muttering: "I, I’ll listen to Fourth Uncle. Just, just that Feifei isn’t... very interested."
"How can that be? Our Wang Family still needs development, right?"
Wang Shouzhe’s expression became solemn instantly.
After pondering for a moment, he took out a treasured manual from the Storage Ring and handed it to him: "This is a secret manual I stumbled upon, named ’Forty-Two Forms.’ Study it well and strive to contribute to the family more."
Wang Zongchang accepted it, casually flipped through it, and immediately felt as if struck by lightning.
Heavens~~ This, this, this is a whole new world~~
He hurriedly blushed and stored the secret manual ’Forty-Two Forms’ in his chest, his heart pounding wildly. After drinking several cups of Spirit Tea, he barely managed to dispel distractions and regain his composure.
"Fourth Uncle, during this Outer Domain maps exploration, I also discovered a rather troublesome issue." After calming down, he solemnly said, "Look at this gorge; the vegetation is lush, the terrain is treacherous, and inside, it harbors numerous caves. When Ancestor Xiaohan and I jointly explored it, we found a large Blood Bat colony residing inside the caves. We dared not linger too long and withdrew after a brief investigation."
"The Blood Bat colony, nocturnal and aggressive, often hunts in groups and poses a significant threat to humans, therefore before developing the area, this Blood Bat colony must be thoroughly eradicated."
"Blood Bats?"
Upon hearing this name, Wang Shouzhe’s expression turned serious at once.
After joining the Clan Academy, Wang Clan Members have an extremely important foundational course, which involves memorizing books such as "Fierce Beast Atlas," "Plant Atlas," "Mineral Identification," and others in full, requiring mastery to the point of familiarity.
Wang Shouzhe himself, of course, memorized them.
And these "Blood Bats," are one of the more disgusting fierce beasts listed in the "Fierce Beast Atlas."
They are ferocious, highly aggressive, and excel at group attacks, often attacking livestock such as cattle and sheep, and even humans, making them one of the most feared fierce beasts by the people.
