Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 457: The History of Niu Dian on the Way
In the early morning, the family had breakfast and drove a carriage into the city.

Traces of the insect plague can still be seen along the way. The leaves of many trees have been gnawed away, and even the newly sprouted buds have not been spared.

Some newly hatched caterpillars lie on the gnawed leaf tips like vampires, sucking branch sap.

The weeds on the ground are usually visited by cattle and sheep, and are rarely eaten by insects.

This year, they suffered a disaster.

Not only were the leaves devoured by locusts, green leaf bugs and other pests, but even the roots of the grass were devoured by pests such as cutworms. This resulted in the complete death of many weeds.

You know, weeds are very tenacious plants, and wildfires cannot burn them to death.

As long as spring comes, they will still be young.

Now, the Black Tiger Gang has won a great victory, and the Nine Insect Gang has been defeated. The insect plague that has always made everyone despair has lost the man behind it, and I believe it will subside soon.

Qin Niu saw from this battle that lasted for nearly a year, the Black Tiger Gang leader's literary, Taoist and military strategies.

At that time, everyone was not optimistic about this war, and focused more on how to deal with the insect plague.

However, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang has not come up with any measures to solve the insect infestation. It even smells like a broken jar and has not taken care of the insect infestation. Even though the people in the area under the control of the Black Tiger Gang had no harvest for three consecutive seasons and famine began to occur everywhere, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang still remained calm.

Only now did Qin Niu understand the far-reaching strategy of the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

The method used is to capture the thief and capture the king.

The Black Tiger Gang lacks powerful insect masters. If they fight with insect masters, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Nine Insect Gang. In the end, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang chose to wait patiently, and then directly defeated the Nine Insect Gang's army on the battlefield.

He even almost killed the leader of the Nine Chong Gang.

In this way, the pest disaster does not need to be solved at all.

In addition, there was famine, food prices soared, and the channels for imported food were blocked. This deadlock was successfully resolved. Having directly taken over the Shennong sect's territory, the Black Tiger Gang no longer had to worry about being blocked if they wanted to buy food.

Shennong Sect is an extremely important transportation hub, a bit like a city that is the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

After the Black Tiger Gang annexed two-thirds of the Shennong Sect's territory, it has now gained this transportation advantage that makes many sects jealous.

Looking at the entire battle situation, Qin Niu admired the leader of the Black Tiger Gang so much that he fell to the ground.

I also learned a lot of advanced strategies from it.

Instead of focusing on the gains and losses of one city or one place, we should take a long-term view and use our strengths and avoid weaknesses when playing games with the enemy. You fight yours and I fight mine, and ultimately turn the entire battle situation around in one fell swoop.

This skill is something that every family leader, every gang leader, and every leader must learn.

After Qin Niu drove his carriage into the city, he went straight to the Yamen.

I have a lot of things to do when I go into town today.

"Hey, Mr. Qin is here! You are a rare visitor. Please come inside and have tea."

When the Yamen Hufang Dianshi saw Qin Niu, he immediately came out to welcome him.

He said hello with a smile on his face, his shoulders slumped slightly, and his posture was extremely low.

"Niu Dianshi is so polite! I still have a few important things to do today, so I'll bother you another day!"

How could Qin Niu have time to drink tea with him?

In the past, Tofusa Norishi was definitely a great official in his eyes. Now that he is a first-class noble and his cultivation has risen to the Double Innate Realm, Dianshi's weight in his eyes has become much lighter.

At least it has to be at the level of Deputy Gang Leader Bai to be worthy of being seen.

"This is my wife, Mrs. Wang. I bought some fertile land and shops a few days ago and haven't had time to transfer them. I need Master Lao Niu to help me with the procedures. Just transfer them all to my wife's name."

Qin Niu had already thought about it before he came.

It is a better choice for the wife to manage the family property.

"I've met Mrs. Qin!"

Niu Dianshi immediately bowed his hands to Wang Wanyan.

A wife is as valuable as her husband. Qin Niu's status was noble, and Wang Wanyan's status as the head wife also became noble.

"Master Niu, you're welcome!"

Wang Wanyan returned the favor and responded appropriately.

She is not like some women who rely on their husband's noble status to show off their power in front of outsiders and make a show of themselves.

If she really was that kind of woman, it would be impossible for Qin Niu to marry her into the family.

It is even less possible for her to become the head wife.

If the old Qin family wants to prosper, they must have a virtuous and virtuous wife.

Just like the queen of a country, she must be a woman who cares about the world, not a scheming girl with only a pretty face.

"Master Niu, these are the original land deeds and house deeds. How long will it take to complete them?"

Niu Dianshi took the information handed over by Qin Niu.

Two thick piles packed in a wooden box. He looked carefully, with a shocked expression on his face.

"I'm afraid there are thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of shops, right?"

"Correct!"

Qin Niu nodded.

The wife next to her suddenly widened her beautiful eyes.

She originally thought that her husband could buy a few hundred acres of farmland at most, but she didn't expect that Qin Niu actually bought several thousand acres. How much did it cost?
There are hundreds of shops. Even if one shop only sells a hundred taels of silver, it still costs ten thousand taels of silver.

In fact, as long as it is a shop in a better location, the price will not be lower than 400 taels.

After all, rent is not cheap.

A larger shop with a slightly better location would have an annual rent of at least ten taels of silver. The more expensive ones cost even forty or fifty taels of silver per room.

"Master Qin is a distinguished guest of our yamen. I specially assigned a few writers and accountants to handle the transfer for you. It can be completed in three or four hours at the earliest." Niu Dianshi thought for a while and gave the specific details. time.

After hearing this, a subordinate next to him showed a worried look on his face.

He leaned into Niu Dianshi's ear and whispered, "There are many dignitaries in the city whose transfer procedures are still piled up and have not been completed! You give priority to Mr. Qin. Will those dignitaries have any objections if they know about it?"

"Idiot, who is Mr. Qin? He is here now. If I don't give him priority, should I give it to others first?"

After being scolded twice, the subordinate immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Although the voices of the two of them were very low, Qin Niu, with his Xiantian realm cultivation, could hear them clearly.

This Niu Dianshi is a smart man who is well versed in officialdom.

Although Qin Niu only had the fictitious title of a first-class noble, he performed extremely well in this war. It can be said that the Black Tiger Gang was able to achieve a complete victory this time, thanks to Qin Niu.

If he hadn't destroyed the insect formation and killed the mysterious Gu Master, it would be hard to say who would win.

Would Niu Dianshi dare to offend such a person?
Give priority to Qin Niu, this is the most advantageous choice. Taking the opportunity to get in touch with Qin Niu, there will be many benefits in the future.

"Wanyan, you take Xiaoqing to go through the transfer procedures here. I'll pick you up when I'm done."

"Well, go and do your work!"

Wang Wanyan nodded in agreement.

"Master Niu, I'll leave it to you."

"I'll take care of this, just go ahead and do your work!"

Master Niu patted his chest.

Qin Niu left with satisfaction.
