Chapter 727: Chapter 94 Tragedy! The Zuoqiu Family’s Foundation Is Undermined_3

Developing Qingluo Sea indeed requires a large investment. While feeling that Taishi An Kang was truly accommodating, Wang Shouzhe stood up and saluted, "In that case, Shouzhe thanks Lord Governor."

"Not at all~ It’s our Governor’s Mansion that is basking in Shouzhe’s glow."

Taishi An Kang waved with a smile.

He merely handled the transaction; he wasn’t even the one who caught the person. This money could almost be considered easily earned.

In Wang Shouzhe’s words, this is called ’winning by doing nothing’. Hence, he now regarded Wang Shouzhe very favorably.

The few were chatting animatedly.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as an official from the Governor’s Mansion walked in from outside the garden. Standing respectfully outside the pavilion, he reported, "Lord Governor, Ancestor Zhenghua of the Zuoqiu Family, Patriarch Guanyu, and Wuu Dinghai, the governor of Qeng’an County, are waiting outside."

Oh~

Qiaan Xuehan’s eyes lit up, "Lord Governor truly has foresight. The Zuoqiu Family indeed came."

"Hahaha~ They arrived even faster than I expected. It seems the Zuoqiu Family is indeed in a hurry this time." Taishi An Kang couldn’t help but laugh.

The official was unsure of Taishi An Kang’s attitude and hesitated, "Then... Lord Governor, do you wish to see them?"

"No." Governor Taishi An Kang waved his hand, "Just tell them I’m in a meeting and let them wait."

He still remembered the "humiliation" he suffered in Qeng’an County back then~ 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He finally had the opportunity to get back at them, so how could he pass it up?

As a result, this waiting lasted more than half a day.

...

Wuu Dinghai, Ancestor Zuoqiu Zhenghua of the Purple Mansion, and Zuoqiu Family Patriarch Zuoqiu Guanyu waited in the guest hall of the Governor’s Mansion for over three full hours, yet still could not meet him.

By afternoon, Wuu Dinghai and Zuoqiu Zhenghua’s faces were ashen. Even the junior, Zuoqiu Guanyu, had an extremely grim expression.

"This Taishi An Kang is retaliating!" Wuu Dinghai was so angry he nearly smashed the teacup, "He just won one round temporarily, and it’s not even by his own ability. What does he have to strut about?"

"Ancestor..." Zuoqiu Guanyu cautiously said, glancing at his Ancestor Zhenghua’s expression, "If this gets out today, our Zuoqiu Family will become a laughingstock."

Zuoqiu Zhenghua, after thinking it over, agreed that continuing this way was not a solution.

He abruptly slapped the table and stood up, "Let’s go, head back!"

He simply did not believe that their distinguished Fourth-Grade Zuoqiu Family couldn’t handle the Seventh-Grade Wang Family!

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left the Governor’s Mansion.

Soon, the three of them boarded a flying chariot and left.

Upon receiving the news, Taishi An Kang merely chuckled and did not take it to heart. He continued drinking tea and chatting with Wang Shouzhe and Qiaan Xuehan, discussing the upcoming development of Qingluo Sea.

Elsewhere, after returning to Qeng’an County, Zuoqiu Zhenghua and the others immediately took action.

As a dominating Fourth-Grade Noble Family in the region, the Zuoqiu Family’s internal connections and influence in Qeng’an County were quite formidable, with abundant Celestial Human Realm and Spirit Platform Realm experts within the family. When they were determined to accomplish something, the energy they could unleash was astonishing.

It didn’t take long for every checkpoint entering Qeng’an County to be fortified with additional sentries, strictly monitoring to prevent any potential goods from the Wang Family’s grain seeds from entering.

Although the winter wheat had already been planted, within less than half a year, it would again be time for rice seedling cultivation. As long as the Zuoqiu Family guarded closely enough, preventing Wang Family rice seeds from appearing in Qeng’an County, the Noble Families of Qeng’an County would have no choice but to buy Zuoqiu Family’s Five-Spice Rice Seeds.

To ensure that the Wang Family’s grain seeds were completely blocked, the inspection personnel sent out by the Zuoqiu Family used every trick in the book, intercepting even some disguised grain seeds trying to slip through.

As a result, the Wang Family’s rice seeds indeed couldn’t reach Qeng’an County through normal channels.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Shouzhe wasn’t flustered. He casually had the news disseminated.

Also, he had Qiaan Xuehan write a letter to the car fleet manager responsible for Qiaan Family transportation, instructing them to rent warehouses at places near Qeng’an County to store the rice seeds locally.

As expected, once the news spread, the Noble Families within Qeng’an County couldn’t sit still.

Many of them had already pre-ordered rice seeds from the Wang Family. With the seeds unable to enter Qeng’an County, their money was wasted, not to mention what they would plant this year?

After experiencing the benefits brought by high-yield grain seeds from the Wang Family’s previous round of high-yield wheat, they had fully appreciated the tangible family earnings.

Now, asking them to plant Zuoqiu Family’s inferior grain seeds instead of Wang Family’s, how could they be willing?

The problem always exists without many solutions.

In this world, as long as there are sufficient profits, no matter how difficult, there’s always a way to achieve it.

Not long after the news spread, many Loose Cultivators, smelling a business opportunity, began finding ways through various channels, going to great lengths to bypass the Zuoqiu Family’s checkpoints to smuggle rice seeds into Qeng’an County.

The demand for Wang Family rice seeds within Qeng’an County was enormous; once their rice seeds were transported in, they were snapped up instantly. This allowed these Loose Cultivators to earn significantly.

However, the amount of rice seeds that the Loose Cultivators could sneak in was ultimately only a small portion; most Noble Families still couldn’t obtain the seeds.
