Chapter 72 Yantian

Unexpectedly, I had such a big surprise when I joined the Weihai Gang. I couldn't believe it for a while. If I could really learn martial arts, not to mention the treatment was a little worse, they would just not give it a monthly fee. As long as they were allowed to eat and live, they would do it.

"Don't think too much, just ask someone to ask when you go back to the mansion." Fang Chen waved his hand. People in this world were in trouble. When they heard that they could learn martial arts, they were too lazy to explain.

"You need to ask you for something now." Fang Chen pressed their excitement and said, "How much do you know about the situation in Yantian?"

Everyone looked at each other and the Cai family was gone, so naturally there was nothing to hide, not to mention that they were also a member of the gang now.

One person said, "Gangmaster, the environment in Yantian is simple, no one wants to stay for a long time. It is often changed every few months. I have rotated several times, and the situation in Yantian is basically clear."

"Okay!" Fang Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me about the situation over there, more details."

"No!" the man responded and started speaking.

"Gangmaster, the salt field is actually not far from the town, just next to Qingcang Mountain, and there is a huge hidden valley. From the sea, the valley entrance is not big, and it is deliberately covered, so it is difficult to see the abnormality. In fact, the valley is very vast, the soil is extremely shallow, and the bottom is full of natural rocks. After a little cleaning, it will be natural to go to a good salt field."

"A total of 77 salt fields were opened in the valley, occupied by eight towns and families in three towns. Wanghai Town is only one town and three houses, with twenty salt fields. Among them, Cai and Wang families have five yuan each, and the Li family owns ten yuan."

"Each piece of salt field produces about 2,000 stones of coarse salt per year."

"At the beginning, the Cai family wanted to seize a few pieces of salt fields from the Li family, but the conflict arose and was suppressed by the Li family. However, with nearly twice the number of troops, they still seized two pieces of salt fields. However, not long ago, Li Shuo, the eldest son of the Li family, broke through the acquired realm and snatched two pieces of salt fields back..."

"Wait!" Fang Chen suddenly interrupted, "What do you mean is that the Li family had already taken back the stolen salt fields at that time. After that, the Cai family no longer occupied the Li family's salt fields?"

"Yes, gang leader!" The man was a little confused, wondering why the gang leader asked this.

Fang Chen did not explain and signaled him to continue, but he cursed in his heart, what an old fox, what kind of ancestral property is all bullshit.

But he knew that he had no choice. He just divided the cake and decided which piece he would eat. The Li family had an absolute advantage and asked the Cai family for five pieces of salt fields, and he distributed the property to Cai family town, which was fair and just and reasonable.

But he didn't know the situation in Yantian before, but now he knows it, and he can't help but feel a little jealous.

Three cents of coarse salt cost one stone, which is still the wholesale price, and it costs twenty cents to sell a pound of liquor. A piece of salt field costs two thousand stones, five pieces cost tens of thousands of stones, and it is three thousand taels if it is exchanged for silver!

What about the Weihai Gang now? It takes a thousand taels of silver a year to make a one-year decision, and all kinds of expenses have to be deducted. It can only be half of it. The gap is not ordinary, and these salt fields are almost costless gold mines.

If we can get these salt fields, can the Weihai Gang still lack silver?

"After Li Shuo broke through, he immediately made a fierce move to kill several people. The leader Cai Tong, who was guarding Yantian, was seriously injured in an attempt to bring a siege and kill, had to give up two pieces of Yantian. After that, Li Shuo attacked the Cai family's guards several times, trying to steal the original salt fields of the Cai family. Fortunately, Cai Erye appeared and fought with him, and Li Shuo settled down."

Fang Chen nodded slightly and fought with Li Shuo who had been breaking through for a while, instead of giving a lesson. I think Cai Yan had the early strength of the day after tomorrow.

He said, "Do you have to take a boat to enter and exit Yantian? Do you know how strong the two towns are?"

The man said, "What the gang leader said is right. The mountain wall is surrounded by a boat. No ship cannot enter. But the three ships do not stop there on weekdays, but are in Shangjiang City, the port city of Haizhou. They will only come once for transportation. After loading salt, they will then be transported directly to Shangjiang City for sale. They will not stop near this town. The other two towns are Yongping Town and Tieshan Town, which are located west of Qingcang Mountain. Yongping Town and Wanghai Town are similar in strength. Only Tieshan Town is very rich with an iron mine backed by. Although there are only two large households in the town, they are extremely powerful. It is said that they have acquired great success, so they occupy the most salt fields."

Fang Chen thought something, then looked up at him and said, "What's your name?"

"Go back to the leader, the little one is Luo and his name is Yong." The man was happy and asked about his name by the leader, which shows that he had been recorded by the leader.

"Luo Yong, right? You are very good. Let's be their captain in the future." Fang Chen smiled. This man was calm and expressed clearly. He dared to speak first. He was also brave, but he was a talented person.

What he lacks the most now is talents, no matter how big or small, he lacks them. Therefore, he cannot be too particular about employed people. If he is given the captain, he will give it.

Luo Yong was ecstatic and immediately bowed to the ground, shouting: "Thank you for the promotion of the gang leader!" He thought the gang leader was just to record it and he would have the chance to promote it in the future. After all, he is a newcomer and a surrendered person. Who would have thought he would become the captain now?

The captain is a middle-level figure in the gang and has also known him as Weihai Gang. The leader of the hall is the captain, which is equivalent to the former leader. The leader of the Cai family has no low status.

I remember that when he was in the Cai family, he was just a small village soldier.

"Okay, if you go to Fangxing to report, please ask him if you have any questions. I will get a gathering in the front yard tomorrow morning and teach you martial arts. If you can't wait, you can also ask Fangxing for advice." Fang Chen waved his hand and signaled that they could leave.

The group of people left excitedly, had to join the gang, live a good life again, and learn the martial arts they had always dreamed of. It was a good thing. The ancestral tomb was smoked, but it didn't work. I turned around and put in incense sticks on my ancestors.

After Luo Yong and others left, Fang Chen closed his eyes and his breath was a little ups and downs. When he learned about the situation in Yantian, he was very moved and wanted to grab them all.

Three thousand taels are definitely not a decimal. In a remote town like Wanghai, even if there is no Feisha Village blockade, it will definitely not be able to earn 3 thousand taels a year. Even in the county town, there is absolutely not much power to earn 3 thousand taels a year.

And the most important thing is to be as stable as a dog, with no cost, and you are just lying down and collecting money.

This is just the share of the Cai family. What about the entire valley? Seventy-seven yuan, which costs nearly 50,000 taels of silver a year! It’s so bad that I’m lying down to collect it!

Fang Chen is going to open his eyes wide now, his eyes are completely green.

He made up his mind that when his strength improved, he would definitely get a share of the pie, or a big cup. He hoped that those big players would be sensible by then, otherwise...

……………………

With the order, the entire Cai Mansion, oh, has now been changed to Fang Mansion, and a grand reconstruction has begun.
Chapter completed!
