The following five or six days passed peacefully.
for the grain transportation line, Gongsun Qiang and Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai were the first to complete their tasks. As a reward, Wang Shouzhe promised Gongsun Qiang that the final wave of old grains could be transported back to the Gongsun Clan. Of course, that would cost money and it would be sold to the Gongsun Clan at the market price.
As a result, this “cheap uncle” turned out to be a “hard man”. He squeezed three thousand sacks back home with overloaded carts and miners carrying them on their shoulders. The next day, he hastily sent over two hundred Qian Gold for the gram purchase payment, looking as if he feared Wang Shouzhe would renege on his promise.
It’s no wonder he is so eager. The famine in the whole Changning defence area is getting worse. The prominent familys of Profound Martial, who can afford to hire an Insect Master or spend a lot of money to buy a massive insecticide, can still hold on.
However, most minor families are not so lucky. Insect disasters are rampant in the fields. They can only rely on a large amount of ash juice to kill insects, but faced with more and more honey bugs, its effectiveness is limited. Large scale reduction in yield is inevitable.
Wang Shouzhe also heard some even worse news. This disaster is likely to spread beyond Longzuo County. In that case, having grain in hand becomes even more valuable.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe was not idle either.
Daily cultivation was essential. Recently, due to his good diet, his bodily vigor was exuberant. Every day, he could clearly feel his cultivation base steadily progressing towards the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
