Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 392: Chapter 88: Setup before the horse! Suppression of the Huangfu Clan_1

…

The Tianhong Pasture.

It is one of the three largest pastures in Qianma Town.

Just the grazing field alone is a full thirty thousand acres, with eight hundred herding households.

Last year, the Wang family utilized all eight hundred herding households, even transferred two thousand strong men and three hundred auxiliary workers from Ping’an Town, solely for harvesting the old alfalfa grass like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

The sandy soil was also turned over, burying the alfalfa stems and roots that cattle and sheep could not eat into the ground, recycled into the nourishment of the earth.

Alfalfa is a magical grazing plant. Since humankind domesticated it, it has become inseparable from the development of animal husbandry. It is not picky about soil, produces a high yield of forage, and also has the effect of fertilizing the field.

The alfalfa grass seeds originally planted by the Huangfu Clan of Qianma were ordinary superior seeds painstakingly obtained from the main lineage of the Huangfu family lines. It has been cultivated for hundreds of years into high-quality alfalfa grass.

Each acre of pastureland can be harvested multiple times a year, with average annual fresh fodder yield reaching up to two tons per acre!

The cattle raised on the ranch are usually classified into several types.

The most common is a type of beef cattle called “Short Horned Red Bull”.

In this regard, there is a significant difference from ancient Huaxia times, where usually, only draft cattle were raised. There were even many eras where slaughtering cattle was prohibited by the government. This reflects the fundamental differences in social structures.

The cultivation of Da Qian is very prevalent, from the low-profile Xuanwu Family to independent cultivators, to prominent families of different grades. Every one of them requires a large amount of meat to replenish their vigor.

Although the meat of fierce beasts is great for replenishing vitality, the price is too expensive. Hence, ordinary meat has become a regular expense for many cultivators. Even the Wang family’s household servants receive meat supplementation now and then.

Beef cattle, pigs, and sheep intentionally raised for eating, all have been bred generation after generation with very specific purposes.

Take the short-horned red bull, this type of beef cattle, its meat ration is high, it is a high-quality beef cattle, a very popular breed for families involved in similar farming operations.

Wang Shouzhe’s wagon team is about to arrive at the Tianhong Pasture.

Hearing this, Wang Luotong, who had arrived early, is waiting outside the pasture on horseback. The wind in the pasture is quite strong. The black cloak draped over her profound martial uniform is blowing in the wind, making her look especially heroic.

In addition to two household heads, she is unexpectedly accompanied by a fine-looking youth on a towering horse. The youth himself is also tall and handsome, but when he looks at Wang Luotong, his gaze appears somewhat uneasy yet can’t help but glance over.

“What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I’ll gouge your eyeballs out?” Wang Luotong glared at him, her hand on the hilt of her sword, exuding a threatening aura.

The youth in fine clothes stiffened, hurriedly laughed awkwardly, turned his head away, and explained in a low voice, “I won’t look, I won’t look. I just came to greet Master Shouzhe.”

“The Tianhong ranch now belongs to our Wang family.” Wang Luotong said coldly, “Does my fourth brother need you, Young Master Lei to greet him when he comes? If you’re wise, you’d better get out of here and stop hindering.”

Speaking of this, Wang Luotong sighed internally. This fine-suited young man happened to be Lei Bowu, the seventh elder of the Bo generation of the Celestial Lei family, the current second son of the direct line. Because he had provoked her younger brother Wang Shouye, Wang Luotong had schooled him harshly.

Originally, she wanted to divert the hatred away from her brother to prevent him from disturbing her brother’s alchemy practice. However, unexpectedly, this guy chased after her to Qianma Town after a few days.

Regardless of how she beat and humiliated him, he persisted like chewing gum to a shoe, sticking to Qianma town. He returned home for a short while during the new year, but soon after the spring, he was back again.

“Luotong, you can’t say it like that.” Lei Bowu shamelessly said, “Your fourth brother is a hero to everyone, one of the top leaders in Changning. I have admired him for a long time. It’s my duty to come and greet him.”

Wang Luotong shot a look his way. Does her brother needs this kind of person to admire him? What on earth has she done to have attracted such a clingy nuisance?

But at this moment, Wang Shouzhe’s wagon team has already arrived. Wang Luotong hurriedly rode forward to greet them. She jumped off the horse in front of the wagon, flashed a radiant smile, and said, “Fourth brother, you’re finally here.”

Wang Shouzhe got out of the wagon, strolled forward, ruffled her hair, and said in a caring tone, “You, this girl, didn’t even come home for the new year. You must have had a hard time these days.”

Whether Luotong was just two years younger than him, to Wang Shouzhe, his sister will always be his little sister. No matter how old she gets, she will always be his sister.

“Fourth brother, our house spent so much money to buy the assets in Qianma Town,” Wang Luotong shook her head and said, “There are too many things here that need to be taken care of. We need to activate these assets as soon as possible. Missing one New Year’s Day is not that serious.”

Wang Luotong is a heroic lady who acts rather sisterly in front of her younger brothers, giving off a dominant elder sister vibe. But in front of Wang Shouzhe, she behaves somewhat childishly.

Lei Bowu watches her intently, entranced. The normally tough and mighty Luotong can actually be this gentle and amiable?

“This gentleman must be the young master of the Bo generation from the Lei Family, right?” Wang Shouzhe looked over at Lei Bowu, with a hint of seriousness and scrutiny in his eyes.

With Wang Shouzhe’s network of contacts and informants, if a man had been harassing his sister for few months and he knew nothing about it, then he would have been quite ineffective.

Lei Bowu had been pampered since childhood. He has met all kinds of big shots. But when he faced Wang Shouzhe’s gaze, he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly dismounted and bowed, saying, “Lei Bowu meets Master Shouzhe.”
