But if you think about it carefully, it is quite reasonable. If Jiaolong Trading Company is not strong enough, how can it take over the entire business along Anjiang?
Such annual income must be an astronomical figure.
And with huge profits, whether it is recruiting or cultivating talents, it is a matter of course.
This is what is called, the more powerful you are, the richer you are, and the richer you are, the more powerful you are. This principle is a universal rule in any world.
The boat sailed along the river at a very fast speed. As Wang Shouzhe and his sixth uncle Wang Dinghai chatted, they soon left the Wang family's exclusive water area. On the left side of the river was a large rocky beach, and on the right side were steep cliffs.
The next section of water is the territory of the Zhao family in Ping'an Town. To understand it using Wang Shouzhe's thinking, it is an exclusive economic zone divided by various forces after long-term struggles.
After more than ten miles of waterway, the right bank is the Shanyang area, where the Gongsun family is located. Compared to the small Ping'an Town area where there are three aristocratic families, there are only two aristocratic families in Shanyang Town, among which Shanyang
The overall strength of the Gongsun family is far superior to that of the Shanyang Cao family.
The Xuanwu family is very particular about their marriages, which means ensuring that each other's bloodlines can continue to reproduce, and also having the means of alliance and diplomacy. Generally speaking, families belonging to the same region do not marry each other.
Just like the Wang family, the Liu family, and the Zhao family in Ping'an Town, they are not married to each other. This represents a tacit metaphor. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and sooner or later they will annex each other.
Similarly for foreign marriages, you cannot choose two aristocratic families in the same area to marry. Just like the Wang family is in a marriage relationship with the Gongsun family of Shanyang, they absolutely cannot marry with Shanyang. That is a huge taboo. In return,
, Shanyang Gongsun family will naturally not marry with Ping An Zhao family or Liu family.
Therefore, the entire Changning Guard has dozens of aristocratic families, large and small, which may seem complicated, but in fact they are divided into five or six in-law factions.
Wang Shouzhe was admiring the looming scenery along the way while sorting out some thoughts. The future development of the family and the in-law faction were factors that had to be taken into consideration.
Take the Changning Xu Clan as an example. Today, the Changning Xu Clan has three spiritual platforms, and the most powerful ancestor has reached the late stage of the Lingtai realm, which is no less impressive than the Wang family when it was at its most powerful.
However, as in-laws, the two parties still maintain a direct marriage. The main business of Xinmao Silkworm Village is planting mulberry and raising silkworms, which also relies on the Xu family for survival. Apart from other things, the purchase price of raw cocoons is higher than others.
20%, it can be seen that Mrs. Xu from Changning still has a deep love for Mrs. Wang.
If one day he, Wang Shouzhe, achieves the Lingtai realm, how can he not miss the incense love of the Gongsun family, the Lu family, etc.? Everyone may be down and out. Thinking about the time when the Wang family was so strong, wasn't it also a day of downfall?
Wang Shouzhe glanced at the river and discovered a fishing fleet operating on the river a few miles away. Two of them were medium-sized fishing boats. More than a dozen fishing boats were spread out, which looked majestic.
It can be seen that in terms of the size of their fishing boats, they are superior to the Wang family.
It’s no wonder that among the three aristocratic families in the small Pingan Town area, the Wang family is currently the weakest. Firstly, the Wang family is already ill-fated, and secondly, it must be “credited” to the joint efforts of the Zhao family and the Liu family to squeeze out
Pressure strategy.
However, both the Zhao family and the Liu family know that once the Wang family collapses and perishes, Ping'an Town will be the battlefield between them. From the fact that the Zhao family and the Liu family do not marry each other, we can see the tacit understanding between them
.
"Haha, they still use the backward fishing technology of fleet nets." Wang Ding took the helm at the seaside, with a sarcastic look on his lips, and a sense of superiority in his heart arose spontaneously.
It’s no wonder that since Wang Shouzhe taught the technique of fixed net moving, Wang Dinghai has secretly set up 30 fixed net moving kites in various hidden locations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He also built particularly simple thatched houses in hidden spots not far from those moving kites.
, allowing two fishermen to take turns working and resting.
Moreover, those fixed kites that use the seesaw principle make fishing extremely simple and light, and even an ordinary minor can easily master it without much effort.
Fishing on the river at night is very risky. Unless there is a special need, fishing boats usually go out at dawn and return to the port before dark. However, fishing with kites can be carried out at night without fire, and the shore is much safer than on the river.
The activity pattern of fish is that they will gradually approach the shore after nightfall, because there are more food opportunities on the shore, and the night will also give them a sense of security.
During the current fish season, if you just move the kite overnight, you can catch one or two thousand catties if you are very lucky, and you can catch four to five hundred catties even if you are not lucky.
Thirty kite fishing spots have caught an average of 20,000 jins per day in the past two days! A full 200 dans of various catches...
Therefore, for the sake of confidentiality, Wang Dinghai has stopped the operation of moving the kite during the day, dismantled the net, spread the support and covered it with grass. In the evening, when it gets dark, he quickly assembles it and fishes at night.
Anyway, the catch during the day is much worse than at night, so it is better to increase the confidentiality factor.
As for the daytime, in order to cover up people's eyes and ears, if there was nothing else, the fishing fleet had to go out. However, during the fish season, the dozens of loads of fish caught in a day really made Wang Dinghai gradually lose sight of it and was full of thoughts.
Let’s get more kites.
When Wang Dinghai reported this to Wang Shouzhe in a low voice, Wang Shouzhe was filled with emotion. The natural resources in this world are indeed too rich. On the earth, even those European and American countries that are famous for their rich natural water resources are far from rich.
Far inferior to this world.
"Uncle Liu, we must pay attention to protecting resources as much as possible." Wang Shouzhe said with joy and worry, "In the future, small fish of the same species should be released."
"How can that work? These are all money, and there are more than ten dan every day." Wang Dinghai's eyes widened, "Besides, if our family doesn't make money, other families will also." After a pause, he felt a little sad.
Wang Shouzhe couldn't stand the look in his eyes, so he could only say sarcastically, "Shouzhe, if you really have any objections, just ask the boatman to gather the small fishes and throw them all into the Fengshui River, so we can raise them at home. I can add a few more at worst."
Set up the kite and bring back more big fish."
"That's okay." Wang Shouzhe knew that the older generation of the family were too poor, and every extra dollar they could make was worth a penny. As for the advanced ideas of protecting natural resources, they couldn't change them for a while.
Due to the relatively fast speed of the boat, it quickly passed by Zhao's fishing boats at a distance of two miles and drifted away from them.
Starting from Fenggu Gate to Donggang, there is about 120 miles of waterway. If the wind and water are smooth, we will arrive in only two and a half hours.
Here, the river surface is more open, taking the shape of a large trumpet, and the water slows down. To the left of the river's bell mouth is the endless Liupingshan Mountains.
The Liuping Mountains and the area behind it are very dangerous areas. They are one of the dangerous areas in the undeveloped foreign lands. The deeper you go, the more powerful the ferocious beasts are. Even the ancestors of the Lingtai realm may die if they wander around at will.
.
On the right side of the river is a vast plain area. According to Wang Shouzhe's observations on the map and on-site, it was judged that this should be a large alluvial plain.
This large piece of fertile land is the area where the famous Donghaiwei in Longzuo County is located.
Donggang Town is the farthest plate extending eastward in the Changningwei region, and it is adjacent to the Donghaiwei region.
Donggang has a very advantageous geographical location, with a natural deep-water wind shelter. Over time, it has become a fertile port with developed freight and concentrated commercial trade.
The Wang family's in-laws, the Donggang Chen family, are one of the aristocratic families here.
The Chen family is a family that has been mainly engaged in the shipping business for generations. It has been less than a hundred years since its establishment, so it is considered a relatively young family. Moreover, its pioneering ancestor has passed away long ago. It sounds like it does not have a strong foundation, but in fact
This family now has two Lingtai realm ancestors.
The older ancestor is in his early 100s, and the younger ancestor is only in his 70s.
In addition, Chen Dewei, the current patriarch of the Chen family, has reached the peak of Qi refining realm at the age of forty-two. He is currently making final polishing efforts and preparations for raising resources. It could take half a year at the earliest, or within two years at the slowest time.
Try to attack the Lingtai realm.
Once Patriarch Chen Dewei succeeds in advancing, the Donggang Chen family will become a three-spirited sect, and the family's foundation will be more solid.
Every thirty years, someone from the Lingtai realm comes out!
It can be seen that the Donggang Chen family is quite good in terms of financial resources and luck.
Wang Shouzhe looked at the vibrant Donggang building complex from a distance and felt a little emotional. In comparison, the Ping An Wang family's previous luck was a bit too bad.
Fortunately, now we have him, Wang Shouzhe.
Suddenly!
A ship sailed out of Inner Bend Port. What was unique was that it raised a huge clan flag. The clan flag was a golden flagbird flying above the sea.
On the observation deck, there was also a flag bearer waving the flag.
"Shou Zhe." Wang Dinghai said happily, "That is the Chen family's ship in Donggang. They are asking us in flag language whether we are the Wang family's visitors. The other party should have sent someone to greet us."
"Yes." Wang Shouzhe nodded. He had previously sent a general to Chen's family to inform them of the itinerary. It was a normal etiquette for the two families to go out to greet Chen.
Wang Shouzhe guessed it was Chen Fangjie, the young patriarch, because that guy was about to become Wang Shouzhe's biological brother-in-law...
