Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 314: Precious Supplies

With the construction of national roads and city walls, various resources became more precious. This also reflected Wang Li's foresight in the early stage. He exchanged most of the Wang family's assets for resources and stored them around Kyoto.

Because of resource issues in the early days, Wang Jianguo took the initiative to represent the country and come to the Wang family to discuss lending the huge amount of resources they had previously stored to the country.

You should know that the country has already issued policies before that an individual's physical assets will still belong to the individual after great changes in the world.

The Wang family’s preparations, according to current policies, those things still belong to the Wang family.

Therefore, if the country wants to use it, it has to go through the royal family.

This is also because the Wang family is now very powerful. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary business family, not only would their materials be forcibly requisitioned, but they would also be forced to purchase them at a reasonably low price.

In the end, it was Wang Li who made the final decision, and the Wang family donated the large amount of mineral resources prepared in the early stage to the country free of charge to cope with the great changes in the world.

In fact, these resources were used by Kyoto to build city walls, roads, and castles around farmland.

The benefits that the Wang family gained were the allocation of political resources and the promotion and appointment of people related to the Wang family.

This further enhanced the influence of the Wang family. It can be said that with Wang Li's operation, the Wang family has now truly become the top family in Longguo.

The resources donated by the Wang family to the country are mainly various types of ores such as iron ore, and various types of energy materials such as coal.

As for all kinds of precious gems, jades, meteorites, etc., they are still kept in the hands of the Wang family.

Through this exchange, the Wang family also acquired the Kyoto Industrial Zone, another factory area next to the original factory building, which was used to store the resources and processing equipment retained by the Wang family.

This factory will also be the core enterprise of the Wang family in the future, because Wang Li firmly believes that after the great changes in the world, manufacturing will be the most important industry, and the world will definitely be a world where materials are king.

The factory building in the industrial zone, obtained in exchange for donated resources, and the various equipment inside, will also be one of the bases for the Wang family's future rise. Of course, the biggest reliance is their military force.

This industry will be controlled by Wang Li's second son, Wang Jianye, as a little compensation for him. After all, he transferred huge assets from abroad to China, exchanged them for various resources, and used these resources to buy the Wang family a real opportunity to rise and consolidate its position, which can be regarded as helping his elder brother Wang Jianguo to increase his influence and voice.

As the second child in the family, it is only natural for him to control the most important economic industry in the family.

As for the third son, Wang Jianwu, it is better to let him practice with his son and let him exist as the foundation of the Wang family.

Wang Li's youngest son, Wang Jianjun, also gained control of part of the Kyoto army through this exchange of interests.

This control is real control, because the high-ranking officers are the younger generation of the Wang family, and the middle and lower ranks are all the apprentices of the Wang family's martial arts school.

Therefore, their cohesion and fighting power are unparalleled.

As for Wang Li’s two daughters, they did not hold any important positions, but Wang Li’s eldest daughter, Wang Yanran, has now become the bond of the Wang family’s small group.

Because she was the eldest sister among the children when she was young, and Wang Li doted on her, and she is very strong now, so she is perfect for this role.

Wang Li's second daughter, Wang Anle, just like her name suggests, stays at home to take care of her husband and children. When she has time, she comes back to take care of her parents. She lives a very comfortable and happy life.

As for her husband Yang Yang, he is also a lieutenant general-level officer. Like Zhang Fang's second son, he is in charge of an army in the Kyoto area.

Now Wang Li lets his grandchildren develop on their own when they grow up. Only his beloved grandson Wang Chenggong follows Wang Li every day and receives his personal guidance.

After all, he was trained as the second pillar of the Wang family besides Wang Li, and he will be the future military force of the Wang family.

We can't let a veteran like Wang Li come forward to solve every problem personally.
