Chapter 186 Trouble in the county town

Lu, Miao and Chang Sanbao were also very moved. Of course, they knew how great the benefits of going overseas were. A large part of the current foundation of the three families was accumulated from going overseas. Otherwise, how could the people who rely solely on digging land in the fort have their current foundation?

It is precisely because of the interests of going out to sea and the existence of Xiaogang Town that they easily gave up the county town. After all, they are also a large family with deep roots in Fuyu. If they really want to fight with the three families in the county, even if they will lose in the end, those three families will never be able to live.

But what they didn't expect was that the seemingly prosperous Nuoda Port Town was gone. When they wanted to return to the county town, they could no longer get into it.

Now that he heard that Fang Chen was about to reopen the maritime trade, he naturally would not be indifferent. But as big bosses, they would not make a statement easily. Only when the other people said it was almost done, the three of them looked at each other and their eyes flashed.

After a moment, Miao Dongsheng spoke: "The head of the Fang family is reasonable, and the benefits of going to sea are indeed worth taking risks. But how to operate it, the head of the Fang family has proposed it. I guess there must be a complete solution, so let's just say it bluntly."

Miao Dongsheng is a thin old man with a slightly eagle-gloved nose and a slight voice on his lips, which makes him look like a standard old penis.

Seeing him, Fang Chen inexplicably thought of the little old man Li Zhi, and compared to his image, the old fox seemed much more friendly. Of course, people cannot only look at the image. If they only look at the appearance, who would have thought that the old fox would be a bad old man with a belly full of bad water under his kind appearance.

Fang Chen was whispering two old men in his heart, but he smiled on the surface: "I dare not take the complete plan. Fang's idea is very simple, just join forces. We are a little weak in our own family, and going to sea is full of crisis, but joining forces is different."

"The shipping volume of sea ships is not comparable to that of cars and horses. Now there is no accumulation of materials in Xiaogang Town. How much cargo can each of our families have? Even if we go to the county to buy a hundred trucks of goods, it will only fill a corner of the ship warehouse. Therefore, Fang felt that there were three or five five hundred material ships at the beginning. It would not be too late to add a new ship when the transactions expanded in the future."

"Only three or five ships, with dozens of our families working together, each family only needs to go out to three or five divine power realms. If you have the conditions, you can send a position to take charge of the acquired realm. You can get at least two or three hundred divine powers. Twenty acquired people will protect you from going to sea, right?"

He had asked Wang Mantang about the sea boats and some situations at sea, and after careful consideration, he got the result.

For five hundred materials, the material is calculated in cubic meters. One material is about ten cubic feet, but the loaded goods are different, and the weight is also different. For example, iron materials and cloth, the same volume, the former will naturally be much heavier.

If converted into tonnage, one material is about 0.65 tons of maximum displacement. The displacement is the tonnage of seawater discharged after full load.

If the cargo capacity is carried, it is about half of the ancient ship. In addition to the ship's own weight tonnage, it can carry about 0.325 tons of load capacity.

Therefore, a five-hundred-stock sea ship can transport more than 160 tons of cargo, and five can reach more than 800 tons. This carrying capacity is naturally nothing in the previous life, but it is already a considerable number here.

There are 11 towns in Sanbao, Jiuxiang, and 11 towns in total. In rural towns like Fuyu, can a town bring out 30 to 40 tons of goods?

Perhaps it is possible to fill the cabin when you go to the county town to purchase frantically, but it is also necessary to consider that many emerging little rich people don’t have much financial resources. Moreover, after more than ten years of Xiaogang Town, the entire Nanshan County has passed the era of crazy production. Whether it can meet the procurement needs of dozens of companies is still a question.

As for pirates, they are usually the mainstay of the acquired realm. They are already a big shot and will not easily venture into Taikang's waters. If they encounter them, they will only be considered unlucky.

Therefore, there are twenty acquired people, two or three hundred divine powers, as long as they do not leave Taikang Sea, it is already relatively safe.

When everyone heard this, they nodded thoughtfully, especially those heads of the family who had experienced going out to sea, were even more happy.

Many of them still think about it during the period of Xiaogang Town. At that time, caravans traveling to Xiaogang Town were endless, and cargoes were piled up in the town. Any goods they wanted could basically be purchased from the town, and then loaded them into the sea.

But now, Xiaogang Town is gone, where can the goods come from?

Fang Chen's words made them realize the current situation again.

But they think more. Today is indeed different from the past. It has become much more difficult to purchase goods, but the benefits are not lacking.

You should know that there are a large number of fresh and intimate items outside, which are long and have many levels, and many bandits. It is difficult to transport them to such remote places. After the sea route is cut off, these items are basically cut off from their source.

If they reopen the sea route, they can bring these items back, and they will definitely be sold to several times or even dozens of times the price before, and they will be able to make huge profits.

"The head of the Fang family, three or five ships are too few, right? When I arrived, I might not have enough goods, but don't forget that I can bring goods when I come back." Thinking of this, Miao Dongsheng couldn't help but speak.

Zhong Yuanchang's eyes flashed and even agreed: "Yes, Brother Fang, the goods at each port are very complete, and as long as there is silver, you can buy as much as you want. When I go out for the first time, it is best to buy more goods back, otherwise when the news spreads, the major forces in the county will inevitably want to share a cup of money. It will be difficult for me to make a big profit."

"In addition, Brother Fang has considered where to pick up the goods?"

Cargo transportation is also a huge problem. One ship can transport hundreds of tons of goods by sea, and tens of thousands of tons of ships. It is not possible to store it without a nearby place.

It’s okay to be close. If it’s far away, it’s transported by carriage by car, when will it be?

The seven families did not dare to bring goods back, because they were largely afraid that the county towns would regard the three towns as inventory places. Once the county town forces entered the town, their interests in the town would inevitably be greatly affected. Moreover, if they stayed in the town for a long time, can the secrets of Yantian be kept?

"That is, the county city forces will not let go of the huge profits of going out to sea. How to deal with it then also requires a constitution." Lu Yunhai seemed to have thought of something, and his brows frowned.

When Xiaogang Town still existed, the one who really made the most money was not their own county forces, but the people in the county town.

The goods that Fuyu can digest are limited, and more goods are sold directly to the county forces, but the price of goods is extremely low. Although they can make a lot of money by large amounts, compared with the huge profits obtained by those in the county and transporting goods to the state and selling them everywhere, it can only be considered hard money.

Now that he is waiting for others to go out to sea again, he is finally going to make a lot of money. He is very unwilling to accept it.

Fang Chen nodded, his expression did not change at all, and he followed the flow of good fortune: "But Fang was not thinking well and just wanted to be safe. He forgot the county town, so he could replace it with five large ships with thousands of materials. As for the cargo transportation location, Xiaogang Town is Shangjia Port, and there are still many houses left in the town. Just make up the walls and use them immediately."

Naturally, he also wanted to see more and more ships. He was just worried about the ideas of each family and then said a more conservative plan, but he still underestimated the pursuit of interests of the wealthy gentry families.

He had long missed the port in Xiaogang Town, but he was not strong enough to drag it on.

If dozens of companies can join forces now, it will not be a problem to rebuild Xiaogang Town.

"A big ship with a thousand materials?"

"Xiaogang Town?"

Everyone was shocked, and Miao Dongsheng asked in a slightly tone: "Master of the Fang family, why is it a large ship with a thousand materials, not a few more ships with 500 materials? Do you know that the materials used by the thousand materials and the five hundred materials are different, and the price difference between the two is quite large. In addition, Xiaogang Town was slaughtered by pirates. If it is rebuilt, wouldn't you be afraid of being slaughtered again?"

Fang Chen glanced at him and said lightly: "If you want to make a lot of money, you have to be willing to be able to make money. Five hundred materials are small, and the number is too scattered. It is very troublesome to encounter storms and pirates. The speed and stability of the thousand materials are more than 500 materials. It is safer to encounter storms, and it is not a loss to the Shanghai pirates. You can go further. The price of sea ships is 10 taels per 10 taels of material below a thousand materials, and more than 2 thousand materials, an increase of 50% below a thousand materials. Calculate that a ship is only 10,000, and five ships are 75,000 taels. The dozens of us all have only 10,000 taels, which is not too much. It is worth it."

"Xiaogang Town has existed for decades, and there have not been many accidents. You can't abandon it once and don't use it, right? If you say that accidents are bigger, and it's safer to stay in their respective towns. Besides, is there anything better in Fuyu besides Xiaogang Town?"

Miao Dongsheng choked and then snorted coldly: "How to divide the goods?"

The goods shipped out and sold are not counted, but when you come back, the more goods you can bring, the more you will naturally earn. Especially when the first ship comes back, it will be huge profits. Who doesn’t want to bring more?

Fang Chen had already considered this and looked at him and said, "Fang planned to divide the goods into hundreds of parts, one for the big households, four for the gentry, and five for the Fang. Of course, the money needed to buy a ship must also be paid according to the share. I wonder if the Miao family master is able to do it?"

It seems that a small amount of large households only occupy one, but if calculated based on ten ships, a total of 5,000 materials will be calculated, and the large households will have fifty materials. According to the volume, it is fifty cubic abbot, with a huge space of 150 meters in length, width and height.

For many rich people in the countryside, even if they infringe on their family and lose their bankruptcy, they may not be able to bring back so much goods. After all, not everyone can be as rich as Wang, Gao and Xu families. On the contrary, the previous five hundred materials ships are the most suitable for them.

Fang Chen also had the idea of ​​taking care of them in this way, and he could save a lot of money from buying a boat. He would take out thousands of taels at a time, which would inevitably be a lot of pressure on these little rich men.

Similarly, the income of the gentry will not be small. In terms of four parts, it is only 200 materials, which is equivalent to monopolizing a small merchant ship, and the benefits obtained are not considered a decimal.

It can be said that the interests of all parties have been taken care of.

As the leader, he is also a big shot in the county, so it is not an exaggeration to take more than one, and he is even very humble. If someone with the same status as him, he will take at least six or seven.

Miao Dongsheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was not satisfied with the share, and he wanted to say something. Lu Yunhai suddenly interrupted, "This is reasonable, and Lu has no objection. However, the head of the Fang family in the county town has a consideration? It is not that Lu's selfishness, but that the people in the county town have too much appetite. When Xiaogang Town existed, he always rejected us entering the county town, and could only sell it to them at a very low price, and then resell it to the county and state town to earn huge benefits. If there is no way to deal with it, he might become like he was, just making wedding dresses for others."

All the gentry nodded without realizing it, agreeing with Lu Yunhai's words, that the people in the county were indeed too greedy and domineering.

Fang Chen's face was slightly dark. He had considered the county town, but he was more considering to make money together. Anyone could do it. Even if the goods volume was large and the price was lowered, he would still make a lot of money.

The goods docked from Fuyu, first to the county, and then to the state, and the market was very large. The throughput of Xiaogang Town alone was far from enough, so the price would definitely not drop too much.

Moreover, with the more foreign caravans, it will also greatly promote the economy of Fuyu.

For his selfishness, the prosperity of the entire Fuyu is far better than that of several households and families making a fortune.

But he never expected that this would be the case. He still believed the reactions of many gentry. If so, he would not let them in.

Master Buddha wants to take you to make a fortune, but you want to kick Master Buddha away and eat meat by himself. Is that so great?

Fang Chen leaned back and fell into deep thought without realizing it. His arms were habitually placed on the coffee table next to him, and his fingers tapped rhythmically, making a crisp sound of "dongdong, duodong".

None of the heads of the gentry dared to disturb him, even Miao Dongsheng sat peacefully without disturbing him.

After all, it is related to their interests, so they are naturally nervous. But they thought of many solutions back then, but none of them work. Now they can only expect Fang Chen to have a good idea.

Because from the information inquiry and the planning to go out to sea now, it all shows that this young man is quick-minded, bold and meticulous, and is not a simple person.

Time passed little by little, just as everyone was getting a little impatient, Fang Chen finally raised his head and smiled and said, "Everyone, do you mind bringing the county power into it and establishing the Great Fuyu Co-prosperity Circle together?"

The Great Fuyu Co-prosperity Circle? What the hell? Many people are confused and say they don’t understand.

Some people frowned when they heard about the inclusion of the county forces. The county town rejected them, so they naturally did not want to bring the county forces to make a fortune together.

Only a few people thought about something, as if they had grasped something, but they couldn't figure it out for a while.

After thinking for a while, Liu Chuxiong scratched his head with his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Fang, don't keep it a secret, just say it."

Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at Fang Chen, with some expectation in their eyes.

Fang Chen nodded, stopped hanging them anymore, and smiled and said, "Since the county town can exclude us, we can naturally exclude them too. We can start from multiple parties, first of all, unite all forces in the county to restrict transactions between county town caravans. It is best to prohibit them from entering the port, and only trade within the county town. At that time, the price is the final decision."

Everyone then realized that if the whole county could really join forces, they could indeed exclude the county caravan. Wasn’t the county forces rejecting their towns like this before?

But soon, Lu Yunhai sighed and shook his head and said, "Although the head of the Fang family has a good idea, it is probably difficult to realize. With the interests of going out to sea, no one in the county should oppose joining forces. It is not difficult to restrict transactions, but the county master is afraid that he will not issue a ban on entering the port. Once people from the county town enter the port and go out to sea by themselves, the restrictions become meaningless."
