different devil life

"No, but Xianggong wants to learn, and I will teach you in the future."

"Let's go together, this is my responsibility." Wang Zhong put on his clothes and turned to go out.

Sun Xiuxiu looked surprised. She originally thought that Wang Zhong was a pedantic scholar who disdained dealing with people in the mall, but now it seems that she was wrong.

After breakfast, the two led the four servants and walked towards the street.

While walking, Sun Xiuxiu introduced their Sun family property to Wang Zhong.

Nearby, one-third of the shops belong to the Sun family, half of which are rented out, and the other half are run by themselves.

There are restaurants, inns, pawnshops, cloth shops, and knife shops.

Because of the prosperous relationship here, restaurants and inns have always had a good business, but the business of cloth shops and agricultural tool shops has not been very good in recent years.

"The fabric store used to have a good business, but unfortunately the fabrics shipped from other provinces have been frequently robbed these years, so we had to buy fabrics from neighboring counties. Although the fabrics are the same, the prices are high and there is no price advantage."

"Recently, because the Zhao family found a new iron mine, the knives produced by refining are cheaper than ours, so a lot of business has been robbed. If this continues, these two businesses may not last long."

Listening to Sun Xiuxiu's words, Wang Zhong understood a little.

When they came to the sword shop, sure enough, the three blacksmiths each led their carriages to the entrance of the sword shop.

These people laid out knives and axes of various shapes and let Sun Xiuxiu choose by herself.

Wang Zhong didn't know much about these things, but along the way, he found a problem, there were no agricultural tool shops on the street.

After some bargaining, Sun Xiuxiu bought this batch of knives and let the people in the shop hang them on the wall for display.

Just as the three blacksmiths were about to leave, Wang Zhong stopped them.

"What's the matter with this lord?" A blacksmith saw Wang Zhong was dressed noble, and asked with a bow.

"Besides these knives, can you make farming tools?"

"Of course, I made all the farm tools in my village."

Wang nodded emphatically, asked his servants to prepare paper and pens, recalled some convenient and fast agricultural tools in modern times, and said: "According to this blueprint, customize a batch of agricultural tool samples for me. "

"Really?" The blacksmith beside him asked in surprise.

"This is my husband-in-law, and I won't tell lies." Although Sun Xiuxiu didn't understand Wang Zhong's intentions, she just ordered a batch of agricultural tools that she had never seen before. She chose to trust Wang Zhong.

After these people left, Sun Xiuxiu went to the inn and restaurant again, and inspected it.

Although these places have special management, but now that the Sun family has internal and external troubles, Sun Xiuxiu dare not delegate power.

In the days that followed, Wang Zhong gained a systematic understanding of the Sun family's business, and further confirmed the three goals he had summarized before.

A month later, the first batch of farm tools Wang Zhong requested arrived. Although they were a little new to the farm tools he requested, they were much better than the farm tools used by the villagers in this era.

Afterwards, he arranged for carpenters to install handles and make small parts. Wang Zhong had already studied these tasks in the Dragon Dynasty, so he got started quickly.

Two months later, the first batch of farm tools was completed. In order to make the guests more recognizable, he named his farm tools Sun's brand farm tools, and engraved a "Sun" on each farm tool. ' word sign.

But to Wang Zhong's surprise, no one bought the agricultural tools once they were released.

"Is there no one interested?" Wang Zhong thought after hearing the news from the waiter in the shop.

The farm tool itself is fine, so the problem lies in the promotion.

Chapter 12

Sun Family Lobby.

"Sanggong, the new product you made looks good to me, but it's a pity that most farmers now have farm tools at hand, and in addition to the rain disaster a while ago, they suffered heavy losses, and I'm afraid they don't have any extra money to buy."

Hearing that the agricultural tools designed by Wang Zhong were not selling well, Sun Xiuxiu offered comfort.

In fact, Sun Xiuxiu was also very strange. Logically speaking, the agricultural tools designed by Wang Zhong were really good. They were not only lighter than the previous ones, but also more efficient. Why couldn't they be sold.

"It's okay, I will find a way, lady, I will go out in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhong drank the tea in his hand, bowed to Yuanwai Sun who was seated in the first seat in the lobby, and left here.

"Hey, my husband is eager for quick success." Sun Xiuxiu, who was standing outside Sun Yuan, sighed.

"He also wants to make a career. I think he is not in a hurry or hasty in doing things. He is much stronger than your brother, but his body is weaker. You usually buy more supplements to supplement him." Sun Yuanwai urged.

"Got it."

…………

Zhao Mansion, an ordinary house.

"Hahaha... I just said it, the incompetent son-in-law of the Sun family invented some new farm tools and wanted to compete with our Zhao family's knife shop. What do I say, he suffered a crushing defeat."

Zhao Shou, the eldest son of the Zhao family, held a folding fan in his hand and sneered.

The few around are also from the Zhao family, and they all nodded with a smile.

The Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Wu, laughed even more: "I heard that the Sun family spent several thousand taels of silver to make these farm tools, and now the family is going to be ruined."

"Father, let them go to the trouble. After this trouble, the Sun family will be finished sooner or later, and we can take the opportunity to buy their property."

"Well, other industries have to take advantage of the situation to suppress. The Sun family has recently gone to a neighboring county to buy cloth. Have you made an agreement with them?"

"As I said, we want all the cloth, and they can only go to other provinces to buy it. By then, those horse thieves will be enough for them to drink a pot."

"Haha, so good."

.........

In the afternoon, Wang Zhong sat in the carriage, thinking about the news he had received these days.

These years, if you want to say who the Sun family's biggest competitor is, I'm afraid it's the Zhao family. Although there is nothing on the surface, they often use tricks behind the scenes. The Zhao family's acquisition made it clear that they wanted to monopolize the market.

There are still many problems in front of him, which also made Wang Zhong understand that without status and resources, sometimes it is really difficult to move an inch.

"No wonder there is this task. If it weren't for me, as the original owner Wang Erping, as an ordinary scholar, I would really have a very unhappy life."

Throwing away his thoughts, Wang Zhong came to the tenant's house that their Sun family rented out.

The fertile land in this village belongs to the Sun family and is leased to these tenants every year.

Logically speaking, landlords are hated by these tenants, but the Sun family is an exception. The Sun's house is kind-hearted, and the price of the fertile land leased out is very fair, so it is deeply respected by these farmers.

"Come, come, here are the best farm tools, let's go and have a look."

A servant of the Sun family began to yell at Wang Zhong's signal.

As for Wang Zhong, after asking the village head to gather the masses, he began to demonstrate how to use these agricultural tools.

He thought about it, the reason why it is hard to sell is not because these people don't understand, if they understand, it will be easier to sell.

After all, this thing will be sold out in the Great Dragon Dynasty.

After some introductions, sure enough, the farm tools were approved by the villagers.

"Easy to use is easy to use, but the price is too expensive."

"Yes, my family's money is used to repair the house."

Wang Zhong had long guessed that the villagers might not be able to afford it, so he was not in a hurry, and continued: "You don't need to buy it today, you will give it away for free, and you can convert it into grain and exchange it for me next year."

Ever since, Wang Zhong signed an agreement with every household, according to the value of each farm tool, it will be converted into grain for him at the end of the year.

Of course, in order to eliminate the worries of the farmers, he also joined in the above. If the harvest is not good, the grain can be given to him after a year.

Such conditions can be said to be good. After all, most of the people's agricultural tools were damaged after the disaster. With this batch of agricultural tools, their working efficiency has also improved a lot, so they signed agreements and drew deposits one after another.

For the next three months, Wang Zhong simply stayed at the village chief's house, accompanied them to the fields, and personally taught them how to irrigate the fields with manure to make the fields fertile.

In order to prevent the good fields from being flooded again, under his suggestion, a reservoir was dug beside each field, which is a very common ditch in modern rural areas.

In this way, the rainwater not only flows into the ditches, it is not easy to cause flooding, but also ensures that there is enough water to irrigate the farmland in summer, and more importantly, some aquatic products can be raised in it, so that the villagers can eat fish. Every year, the silt at the bottom of the water can be dug out and poured on the ground, which is also a good fertilizer.

Of course, these things cannot be done right away, but it is foreseeable that after a few years, earth-shaking changes will definitely take place in this village.

…………

"What, you gave...you gave away all those farm tools!"

Three months later, when Wang Zhong came back and told Sun Xiuxiu the news, she almost fainted from anger.

"Don't worry. Didn't I say that I signed the agreement? When the grain harvest is finished, it will be paid for with grain. In addition, the most important thing I do is to advertise."

In the room, Wang Zhong was drinking tea and talking.

"Advertisement, what is an advertisement?"

"Well, it's just a kind of propaganda. The countryside is actually very big. As long as our products are good, everyone will recognize them sooner or later. Besides, our cost is just a little later."

"But now the family has little money, and they have to go to other provinces to buy cloth, and now they are afraid of encountering horse thieves again, so my brother personally escorted them out."

"He has already left?" Wang Zhong frowned.

"Well, it's been three days since I left."

"Forget it, I had a way to deal with horse thieves, but it still takes time."

Sun Xiuxiu was shocked again, "Do you really have a way to deal with horse thieves?"

"Good, but it will take some time."

"Can you tell me how to do it?" Sun Xiuxiu asked eagerly, if she could deal with the horse thief, her family's supply of goods would be assured.

"I don't understand even if I tell you, so let's rest early."

Wang Zhong lay down on the bed, "By the way, how is your father's health during the time I've been away from home?"

Chapter 13 Sun Jitian Was Deposed

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the New Year again.

Unlike other families who celebrated the New Year happily, the Sun family was immersed in grief.

After all, Sun Yuanwai didn't wait for the child to be born, so he left early.

However, he walked very peacefully, because at the end of the year, he heard that the agricultural tools designed by Wang Zhong had finally opened the market. Almost bought all the farm tools of the Sun family.

The news even spread to neighboring counties and other provinces, and many merchants came here, wanting to buy this kind of farm tools.

Yuanwai Sun was very relieved that the difficult funds of the Sun family were relieved at once.

When he was about to die, he called Wang Zhong to the bedside and told him to take good care of Sun Xiuxiu. Then he kept his eyes open, tilted his head, kicked his feet, and left.

At the cloth shop, Sun Jitian personally escorted them, although the horse thief still targeted them, and they also found that the horse thief seemed to know their whereabouts, targeting them again and again.

But who made Sun Jitian so good?

This guy can hit more than a dozen with a machete, and if he has helpers, he can deal with more with his kung fu, so every time he leads the team away from the horse thief's territory without any risk.

In the summer of the second year, Wang Zhong's child was finally born. Wang Zhong's face was paralyzed and he finally smiled. He found that being a father was quite good.

Things seem to be developing in a good direction. Wang Zhong believes that if this continues, he can make the Sun family develop better and better.

But not long after the child was born, one night, Sun Jitian rushed into Sun's house with his severed arm.

"The cloth, all the cloth was robbed, and all the people in the convoy died..."

After saying this, Sun Jitian tilted his head and passed out completely.

Wang Zhong, who was coaxing the child to sleep with Sun Xiuxiu, rushed out immediately when he got the news.

"Call Langzhong quickly, hurry up!"

Fortunately, Sun Jitian has been in good health since he was a child, so after breaking his arm, he still carried it off. After being in a coma for a week, Sun Jitian finally woke up.

"Langzhong, how is he?" Wang Zhong looked at Sun Jitian who had woken up and asked.

"It's fine for the time being, and I will rest more in the future, but I can't do anything about this broken arm." Lang Zhong sighed and left here.

"Hahaha..." Sun Jitian laughed a few times: "Erping, I'm fine, isn't it just an arm, and I'll be a good man after the injury."

"Brother, don't say a few words." Sun Xiuxiu hugged the child, her eyes were red.

Lin Shimei wiped Sun Jitian's face with a towel, and cried, "It's fine, it's fine, but in the future, woo woo woo..."

Due to the limited technology of the ancients, it was difficult for the disabled to live on. It is no wonder that Lin's eyebrows are so sad.
