Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2535: Chapter 60: The Great Luo Sacred Supreme Clings to Me

Taishu Anguo was overjoyed: “Good, good, good, thank you, Manager Zhou.”

Seeing the transaction smoothly concluded, his long-standing tension also eased.

Although this deal reflects a ten-year profit, averaging only seven thousand Immortal Crystals per year, it is merely the yield from the Third Grade Spirit Field, and there are still plenty of First Grade and Second Class Spirit Fields at home~

The number of First Grade and Second Class Spirit Fields at home far exceeds the Third Grade fields, and their output is significantly higher.

As long as the Zhou Family continues to purchase, their family can maintain such profits.

Even when grain prices are high, the average income from planting Spirit Rice every year cannot compare to planting Purple Leaf Dioscorea.

However, after the joy, Taishu Anguo recalled another matter, and the joy on his face gradually faded: “However, the entrusted task of purchasing Spirit Rice from your side is truly unfeasible. Nowadays, every household is massively planting Spiritual Medicine, and the production of Spirit Rice is dwindling. Most families now only plant enough for a year’s consumption, with hardly any surplus for sale.”

According to Taishu Anguo’s understanding, some families with radical actions have simply dedicated all their spirit fields to planting Spiritual Medicine, and as for their Spirit Rice consumption, they just purchase it.

After all, the profit from planting Spiritual Medicine today is twice that of planting Spirit Rice, and the extra profit is more than enough to buy Spirit Rice.

Yet, Taishu Anguo expressed some worry: “Manager Zhou, the market’s Spirit Rice stock is increasingly tight, with prices already slightly tending to rise. Many places speculate that the low price period for Spirit Rice might end. Our Taishu Clan is considering, after this Third Grade Spirit Field’s medicinal harvest, to plant half with Spirit Rice and half with Spiritual Medicine to hedge against uncertain risks.”

“Brother Taishu,” Manager Zhou said calmly, “to be honest, our Fuyun business firm has also assessed this. However, looking at the current situation, your family’s Third Grade Spirit Field can be planted for another cycle without issue, and you won’t lose either way. The appetite of our subsequent medicinal buyers is quite large, an opportunity not to be missed~”

Taishu Anguo pondered for a moment, then nodded: “In that case, I’ll follow Manager Zhou’s advice and plant another season to see how things develop. After all, we’ve reserved some Spirit Fields to plant enough Spirit Rice for our own consumption.”

The deal was finalized, and the next steps involved payment, delivery, and necessary transport procedures.

Both parties were not doing their first business transaction. Familiar with these procedures, everything went very smoothly to both parties’ satisfaction.

After dealing with the Taishu Clan’s matters, Manager Zhou hurriedly moved onto the next family, with Wang Youping following closely, gaining much insight and occasionally offering strategic advice, making his business endeavor notable.

Similar teams abounded, with such transactions happening everywhere.

With the collective effort of these teams, large quantities of Spiritual Medicine from various families and clans were nonchalantly purchased, followed by the planting of the next batch of medicine.

Wang Shouzhe’s strategic arrangements over the years have gradually begun to show their strength due to this fermentation.

…

Around the same time.

Tianrui Holy City.

[Helian Residence].

This was the Helian Clan’s villa in the Sacred City and the residence of He Lian Duo Cai in the city.

In the depth of the night.

Most of the lights in the villa had dimmed, except for the ones in the inner courtyard.

At this moment.

In the pavilion of the inner courtyard, two people were sitting opposite each other drinking.

One was a rotund and blessed-looking middle-aged man, and the other was a graceful young gentleman, none other than He Lian Duo Cai and Yao Xingshu.

It’s unclear how long they had been drinking, as the dishes on the table had been changed several times, and the empty wine bottles piled up on the ground.

“Brother Yao, I was left with no choice but to seek your help.” He Lian Duo Cai refilled Yao Xingshu’s cup, with a bitter smile on his face, “You should also know that the Spirit Rice issue has dragged on for so long and has become an unavoidable quandary. After much thought, you’re the only one who can help me now.”

At these words, Yao Xingshu looked troubled: “Brother Helian, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. But you know, His Highness has been overwhelmed by those rumors and scandals these years, making his temper increasingly unstable and prone to anger. I dare not provoke his wrath now.”

Serving under Prince Wen Yu, he was naturally aware of He Lian Duo Cai’s predicament. The severe decline in Spirit Rice production was something he was somewhat aware of.

However, with the continuance of friction among the three princes over the years, Prince Wen Yu was left in a mess and was limited in addressing the grain issue. He was also exceedingly busy, leaving the grain problem entirely to He Lian Duo Cai to handle.

Who could have imagined that an otherwise foolproof matter would become like this?

As the grain price began to rise again, years of the Prince’s Mansion’s investments were about to go down the drain, while Wang Shouzhe didn’t seem affected at all, which was understandable considering He Lian Duo Cai’s anxiety.

Understanding is one thing, helping is another.

“Ah~ I understand your concerns, Brother Yao.” He Lian Duo Cai sighed, downing another drink with a bitter expression, “In fact, the situation didn’t become like this overnight. As early as a few years ago, I noticed something amiss and reminded His Highness, but he was too embroiled in competition with the other two princes and didn’t heed my warnings. Even wanting to remedy things now, I’m powerless.”
