Fang Xing was about to leave, but Fang Chen suddenly called him again.

"By the way, how did you learn how to train a boat?"

He thought of a big problem!

The seven families in the three towns needed to be whitewashed and took the initiative to take on the task of purchasing a ship. Fang Chen sent someone to follow him, so it was no exception. He also found a dodge in Shangjiang City to buy an old ship of 500 materials.

Moreover, the Fang family does need a ship of their own. When they first purchased this batch of ships, they said it was shared, but it was a private money spent. In the future, the sea trade will be officially launched, and these ships will still be back to the hands of the eight families in the three towns. If there is a ship of their own, many things can be convenient.

Now with the arrival of the seven families in the county town, Fuyu's fragile alliance collapsed directly, and the newly built chamber of commerce has disbanded before it has been running for a few days. Naturally, these ships do not need to be public, and each family can drive back openly.

Now there are ships, one of which is still the 800-liter Feiyun warship, but the crew has become a problem.

Fang Xing was in a good state and said confidently: "Don't worry, the head of the family is not negligent. We have not neglected the schedule of the round trip on the ship. The crew of the seven families are also sincerely professors. Now when encountering storms or pirates, there may be some shortcomings in dealing with it, but driving navigation is no longer a problem."

"Okay!" Fang Chen was overjoyed. Being able to navigate was the best start, and everyone else could be proficient in it slowly. "Are you enough personnel now? In addition, do you know about the Feiyun warship?"

Fang Xing nodded and said, "The head of the family, I only realized after getting on the ship that it was not necessary to actually drive the sea ship. Take the five hundred ingot ship as an example. There are only twelve people who really control the ship, and the rest only do rotation or some miscellaneous work, and are more responsible for fighting when encountering enemies. The subordinates of Feiyun Warship have also seen them in Shangjiang City. Some large fleets have Feiyun Warship cruise guards. The subordinates have observed them on the ship. It is much more complicated to drive than the ingot ship. The people who control the ship are at least twice as many as the ingot ship, and even the subordinates can't understand some of the ingot ships."

Fang Chen thought about it. There were 40 people who went out to sea this time, half of which were Luo Yong's powerful crossbow team, and the other half were mainly Fang Xing's team. The Zhang brothers only brought a few people in this hall, and a few were teaching in the martial arts hall with Niu Gang.

Fang Xing’s team of thirteen people is enough to control an ingot ship, but what about the people of Luo Yong and the Zhang brothers?

Thinking of it, he asked.

Fang Xing looked strange and said a little tactfully: "Well, they need to improve their water quality, and they need to be familiar with the boat."

Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What's going on? Let's be honest!"

"Yes, the head of the family!" Fang Xing had no choice but to say: "They were so fainted after a few days on board. They almost lie down on Shangjiang and didn't learn to drive the boat. They were a little better on the return journey, but they couldn't concentrate on learning, especially the Luoyong Crossbow Team, which had poor cultivation and was fine when the waves were calm. When the waves were a little too high, they couldn't even stand firmly. How could they learn to drive the boat?"

Fang Chen was also speechless. The man living by the seaside was seasick and could not stand steadily on the boat. Apart from Wanghai, there was really no one else.

However, he also knew the situation of Wanghai. Due to the reasons of the pirates and Feisha Village, there were not many young people of this generation who had good water qualities. Those who had boarded the boat were even more so when they were young. This situation was not surprising that seasickness was not surprising.

Fang Chen rubbed his forehead with one hand and waved it with the other. Fang Xing retreated with sensibility.

Alas! Take your time!

……………………

When Fang Xing came back to report the situation, the people from the port and the two towns gathered in a newly built yard with ugly expressions, but the people from the Tieshan family were not among them.

They knew the purpose of going to Shangjiang this time, and the matter of going to sea was half public. Before they left, the Zhong and Liu families notified the county lord's family as planned.

Therefore, under the excuse of "buying a ship", they all took the opportunity to buy a lot of private goods, just like Fang Chen. However, they have a strong purpose in bringing goods, and most of them are goods, and they plan to drink some soup and make a profit first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the ship, they received reports from the tribesmen stationed in the port that after a few months of their departure, the situation in Fuyu had changed drastically. The alliance disbanded, and all forces were divided into six and were in charge of their own affairs. Even Fang Chen retreated back to the sea and no longer interfered in the sea. Now everything about going to sea is controlled by the seven families in the county town.

Before they could come back to their senses, the Liu family came to the door to the county city clock in the port.

The seven county and city families jointly put pressure on and formulate rules, and all goods on the landing will be purchased with a profit of 30%.

It is impossible for the seven families in the three towns to sell privately, so they can only choose one of the county towns for a profit of 30%. Fang Chen has cooperated with Zhong and Liu families. Zhong and Liu families in Tieshan are branches of each other. The other companies have no choice but to hand over the goods to two companies.

Although a ship of goods is quite large and the profit is considerable, it is far from expectations. If sold normally, you can earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but if sold to two companies, you only have more than ten thousand taels of silver.

You know, they have been there for nearly half a year, and they only cost less than 2,000 silver a month. For example, Wang, Gao, and Xu are all 300-profit ships, so they earn even less.

For them, they are not as profitable as Yantian.

This still doesn't count the back and forth expenses, the risks at sea, the battle between pirates, etc., but it still doesn't encounter a storm, and you will win the battle with pirates, otherwise you will not be able to rest in peace even if you die.

This is simply a matter of exchanging life for a few hard money!

The frustration of several companies is conceivable!

So, as soon as they dealt with the two families, several families gathered here. As for the two families in Tieshan, they were called to the county town by their master's family.

"Ah! Why did it become like this? I discussed it at the beginning...ah!" After a moment of silence, Gao Ping couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, it was not a good discussion at the beginning, but why did it go apart? Isn't the head of the Fang family full of confidence and can ensure sufficient benefits?" Xu Hu also spoke, with a hint of complaint in his words.

Li Shan is just a housekeeper, not suitable to express anything. Wang Futong is just a guard commander, and he dare not express his opinions. Moreover, the two families and Fang Chen are in Wanghai, so it is even more difficult to answer.

"Okay!" Cui Chengwu interrupted impatiently, "The strength of the seven families in the county is far beyond expectations. You know the attack on the pirates. What can the head of the Fang family do if he plans well? The world will eventually rely on strength to speak."

Fang Chen said it well in his previous life: All conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in front of absolute strength!

Although there is no such sentence in this world, the reason is still the same. People don’t play tricks with you at all, and they just use force. What’s the use of your plan?

Gao and Xu immediately shut up. Now Cui Chengwu has the highest status and is the gentry of Yongping Town, so they dare not refute it.

Cui Chengwu thought hard for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he scratched his head irritably and cursed: "Damn it, I can't do anything about this mess. Let's go to the Fang family to see what that kid is thinking now. I don't believe that he is really willing to hide in Wanghai to raise pigs!" After that, he got up and left.

Gao Ping and Xu Hu had no choice but to look at each other and had to follow them. Although they had some complaints, the current situation was really inseparable from Fang Chen.

As for the six forces in Fuyu, the only one they can choose is the Fang family.
Chapter completed!
