Protect Our Chief

After all, even if the Wang Family is wealthy, it is currently impossible for everyone to be a Celestial Pride, and for everyone to be nurtured with abundant resources. Fortunately, the Spirit Gathering Array at the Wang Family’s Main Residence is gradually taking shape, making it possible to open up some cultivation spots with especially rich Spiritual Qi.

If Wang Anrong makes an effort in the future to accumulate more Contribution Points, and with the help of the Patriarch Wang Shouzhe, extends his Lifespan, there is still a chance that he could rely on auxiliary breakthrough medicines such as the "Immortal Ascension Pill" to step into the Celestial Human Realm.

However, don’t underestimate Wang Anrong in the Wang Clan Members, but when he steps out, he is quite a figure. Especially in the Number Thirteen Farmstead in Xinping Town, he is an authoritative figure whose word is law.

"Ning Xi, since this is your matter, it’s also your Sixth Uncle’s matter." Wang Anrong said boldly, patting his chest, "I’ll leave those two Tier Three Purple-Horned Spiritual Oxen to you. Even if you slaughter them and eat them, your Sixth Uncle has no objection."

"Thank you, Sixth Uncle, but eating them won’t be necessary." Wang Ningxi replied with a cold sweat; if he really dared to kill productive Purple-Horned Spiritual Oxen to eat, he would most likely get beaten up again.

"By the way, I heard you called off an engagement? And even got beaten up?" Wang Anrong asked curiously, "How many cheesy novels have you read to do something so brain..."

"Sixth Uncle... let’s not talk about this." Wang Ningxi was almost in tears; in recent days, every clan member he encountered would care about his broken engagement and being beaten.

"Alright, alright, I won’t mention it anymore." Wang Anrong directed a few Spirit Plant Masters who had cultivation, harnessing a Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox to a new circular blade plough.

On the plough frame’s roller, ten circular blade ploughs were mounted, each with a diameter of four and a half feet. The edges gleamed with a cold light, but in fact, were not very sharp. If sharpened too finely, they might chip easily.

The angle was adjusted with a regulating frame, the lever counterweight and mud board were installed, and the circular blade plough cut into the soil.

Then.

The Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox, weighing over five to six thousand catties, pulled the two-wheeled plough frame forward, turning the roller and setting the circular blade plough at an angle into rotation. As it moved, weeds were crushed, the earth was overturned, and various roots, stones, and worms were brought to the surface.

Soon, a roughly one-zhang wide strip of land that had been initially ploughed was revealed where the plough had traversed. When encountering large stones, the circular blade was able to roll over without getting jammed.

"Good, good, good." The experienced Wang Anrong was overjoyed, "The Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox pulls it with ease. This kind of circular blade plough is very suitable for opening wasteland. Call a group of tenant farmers over to clear away the stones and foreign objects ploughed up with a rake."

Clearing land that has been overturned once is much easier.

Wang Ningxi was also very excited, but he was calculating the time. After a full hour, the Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox stopped to rest, rewarded with some Spirit Grass and Spirit Bean residue.

Wang Anrong and others personally measured the initially ploughed land. After an hour, this set of circular blade ploughs initially ploughed about twenty mu of waste land.

This was extremely tough poor land; if it were easy, Wang Anrong would have already completed the reclamation.

"With ten tenant farmers working together to clear the stones, weeds, and foreign objects ploughed up, or breaking up and removing large stones, they can keep up with this circular blade ploughing cart." Analyzing the situation, Wang Anrong said, "However, ploughing once is obviously not enough; one can plough longitudinally and then horizontally. Calculating it this way, roughly ten mu of land can be initially opened up in an hour."

"One ploughing cart, based on an average of six hours of work per day, can reclaim sixty mu. In a year with suitable weather, it can reclaim over ten thousand mu."

"Our Wang Family tenant farmers are expensive, ten tenant farmers total cost fifty Qian Gold a year, and the Tier Three Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox has a breeding cost of four hundred Qian Gold a year. Adding up various other costs, this team’s annual expenses are about five hundred Qian Gold. The average initial reclamation cost per mu of poor land is about three Large Copper. Cost can be reduced further on ordinary waste land."

"If used to plough cultivated land, it would be even easier; the plough frame could be doubled in length, and only one ploughing would suffice, and ploughing one or two or three hundred mu a day would not be a problem."

"However, using the Purple-Horned Spiritual Ox for opening wasteland is relatively cost-effective, and for ordinary ploughing, using ordinary oxen would be more economical; only the ploughing cart needs to be miniaturized."

Wang Anrong, after all, is a professional in agriculture; after a flurry of calculations, he enthusiastically patted Wang Ningxi’s shoulder and said, "Ning Xi, kid, you’ve struck gold! Whether reclaiming wasteland or starting to plough cultivated land, compared to traditional ploughing, it saves at least fifty percent of the ploughing cost."

Wang Ningxi was also very excited. There’s so much land in Daqian, isn’t there? If all of it used his invented plough... just that ten percent contribution in Contribution Points, how much could it yield?

Turns out, even "failures" can have their springtime.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking; popularizing the circular plough across all of Daqian seems like a ’within this lifetime’ scenario.

This matter quickly reached the ears of Wang Shouzhe.

This made Wang Shouzhe feel very gratified; that beating the kid took wasn’t for nothing, so to speak, there’s truth in the phrase ’no pain, no gain’. However, he kept his promise and was ready to bring Wang Ningxi along, preparing to board the Imperial Flying Chariot to the Saint Land together.

But when Wang Ningxi had just packed his bags and enthusiastically boarded his Ancestor Grandfather’s Flying Chariot, he was stunned on the spot.

It turned out there were two more people on the Flying Chariot besides his Ancestor Grandfather.

One was a man as sturdy as a massive elephant, glaring at Wang Ningxi with eyes the size of fists, quite hostilely.

And the other was a little girl of about ten years old. She was delicately beautiful, and her big watery eyes were gazing at Wang Ningxi.

"Ning Xi, what are you standing there for?" Wang Shouzhe enthusiastically beckoned, "Come and greet Lingbo from our family."

Ancestor Grandfather, really?

Are you setting me up?
