Half a month passed in a flash, and the expansion and recruitment of various townships was in full swing. The heads of the family knew that things should be done sooner rather than later, and did not delay after returning, so they immediately started preparing.

In particular, I learned that there were ten merchant ships in the Fang system and could start maritime trade at any time, and I was even more enthusiastic.

After the fleet returned, it seemed that the Tieshan family would not shake his status and had visible immediate interests. The remaining four towns in the county finally officially moved closer to him.

In this way, except for Miaojia Fort and two close towns, the remaining eighteen towns and forts in Fuyu County all belong to the square.

This change also brought about a chain reaction. Many forces and merchants in the county towns did not all go to the county town to do business, but many had to rely on the county town to purchase goods.

After all, in this era, various industries and transportation are far from being developed in previous lives, and many goods may not be available in county towns, such as some raw materials and local specialties, as well as time to deal and trading costs.

Fang Chen alone controlled 80% of the townships in the county and suddenly became a tiger under the county. From then on, all forces that had business dealings with the county had to act according to Fang Chen's expression.

To be honest, as long as he blocks the goods from the county, at least half of the merchants in the county will go bankrupt, and even many industries of the three major families will be closed.

Under such circumstances, it becomes natural for some merchants who have to rely entirely on the county to survive and have little to do with the gentry in the city to follow the trend and turn to the direction.

The surrender of a large number of county merchants has made his reputation in the city soar. In addition, the original land of Four Streets and Three Squares, the name of "Fang Bancheng" has been well deserved since then.

……………………

Shortly after he got his name, the county town clock and Liu suddenly came to the door.

"Haha, I've seen Fang Bancheng!"

"Two seniors, don't want the Han Niao boy. Fang Bancheng, but just a rich man who can't get on the table." Fang Chen waved his hand and laughed at himself.

He knew that the "half city" of his small county town would still not be taken seriously by these county town tribes.

Zhong Boming and Liu Hongxuan smiled slightly, and did not bother about this topic. In fact, they did not take this "bancheng" to heart. It was just that the three companies are working together now. Although this "bancheng" is nothing to them, it still has a great influence in Fuyu, so they jokingly raised it.

When he arrived at the main hall, he sat down with the guest and host. Fang Chen didn't play any scheming games, so he said straight to the point: "Two seniors, I don't know what happened this time. If you can do it, you will definitely refuse."

The two of them didn't expect him to be so direct. When they looked at each other, Zhong Boming smiled and said, "To be honest, thanks to the Fang family's cargo, our two families have contacted the big families in the state and reached a preliminary cooperation. Therefore, I want to ask the Fang family when the ship will be shipped again. First, our two families need to buy a fleet as soon as possible, and second, it is also possible to maintain the cargo transactions in the state."

The return of this fleet gave two families a great surprise. After receiving the goods, the two immediately sent a quick horse to bring samples back to the county city. The county city lord's family also rushed to the prefecture capital with the samples, and finally took the lead and set up a line with the Jiang family, the largest clan in Haizhou.

The Jiang family is a truly famous family and a behemoth that has been passed down for more than a thousand years. It is powerful and powerful. Its tentacles extend to several surrounding states. Most importantly, it has a very good reputation and can be said to be the best partner.

Moreover, being able to connect with the Jiang family has also greatly improved the status of Zhong and Liu families in the county town, so the two families naturally wanted to hold on to the Jiang family and stabilize the line.

But although the two of them were anxious, they were nominally leading the matter of going out of the sea, but they wanted to actually set off the ship, but they couldn't get around Fang Chen. Without him, who would dare to send people to sail to the sea? Even the two branches of Tieshan didn't have the courage.

Fang Chen thought for a while and guessed the reason, and said a little distressedly: "The two seniors, it's difficult to be anxious. Fuyu has been sealed off the sea for a long time, and there are not many older crew members left. The newcomers are not good at water and unstable on board. Nearly half of the people who went to sea before had been very seasick. If they were asked to go to sea immediately, people would inevitably be unstable and resentment would arise."

The two frowned slightly. They also learned about this trip. Although it was not as exaggerated as Fang Chen said, there were indeed many problems. And they also knew that the crew had been wandering on the sea for a long time and after getting ashore, they would definitely be repulsive of going to sea in a short time. If they forced themselves, there would be no trouble in the vast sea.

"When will the head of the Fang family think it's better?"

Fang Chen pretended to think for a while and said, "What's better than January? I think I can recover after a month of rest, and I will be able to go out to sea smoothly."

The two of them thought for a while and agreed, but there was a hint of warning in their words, "Okay, one month is one month, then the head of the Fang family should not let us down again."

After the cargo was back, the three ships in the city also began to prepare for the sea trip and rushed to buy sea boats. The sea trip was only in the past few days. The first opportunity had been taken by Zhong and Liu, and they did not want to fall behind the other ones.

The two of them just estimated that even if they were asked to go first for a month and buy all the old ships, they would not be able to travel quickly with ready-made fleets. Moreover, with the base of the current batch of cargo, it would not be so easy for them to insert them in.

Fang Chen seemed to have not heard it and smiled: "Don't worry, two seniors, you will be able to sail in one month. However, I thought I knew that the sea route is not peaceful. And this trip to sea is impossible to accompany the heads of each family. After all, the heads of the family are busy and cannot be away for a long time. Therefore, the two seniors need to think of a solution to accompany the masters."

The two nodded without refusing. They also knew that there were not many masters in the countryside family, and they were often the ones in the head and the direct descendants of the family, so they would not be put on the ship for a long time to take risks.

And relying solely on the low-strength guards in their families, neither of them will feel at ease.

When they saw the two men off, Fang Chen showed a sneer. It was not difficult to go to sea as soon as possible. The escort masters were sent from the two families, and there was not much need to drive a ship. It was possible that someone would go there for the benefit of the general guards, just change to another group of people.

But is the two companies anxious about having a penny with him? Now, there is no benefit in making some hard money for the two companies to run errands and sell goods.

Now the entire Fuyu team has a fleet, and there is no competition for cargo purchase. If it is delayed by one month, all forces in the team can just raise enough goods and make a profit first.

And the boss of his group can also make money by bringing his group's forces to make a fortune, make a fortune, and make all forces more recognized him, thereby completely stabilizing the boss's position.

"Come here, tell me that Cai Li comes to see me!"

……………………

"What? Is this true?" Wen Rui showed surprise, and then soon murmured again: "Yes, no one knows the name of the head of the Fang family, and he will not lie to me!"

Wen Rui is the head of the Wen family in Tangshan Town. Speaking of Tangshan Town, the only feature is that there are hot springs on the mountain behind the town, so Tangshan Town is named.

It is said that the Wen family settled here because the hot springs on the mountain were in line with the surname Wen family. The ancestors of the Wen family meant to be the backer.

But in fact, due to the land veins, this place has not much land suitable for cultivation and there are few specialties on the mountain. After the Wen family settled here, they were not yet developed. They can even be regarded as the poorest one among the Fuyu gentry.

Even the training resources of the tribe members have to be sent to the mountain to hunt for money and subsidies. No one else can get to this level of the gentry.

Because of this, the Wen family has always been very cautious in their actions, fearing that the family will have no capital to turn things around if they take a wrong step. Therefore, the only choice was made during this team.

But what Wen Ruiwan didn't expect was that this decision was so fast that as the last group of forces that rely on Fang Chen, they could also get a share of Haili, and it was divided into a large part according to the identity of the gentry.

He felt a little excited. This choice was really right. The family had been living a hard life for too long. Following Fang Chen, it might be able to completely change the family situation.

At this time, Cai Li's slightly humble voice interrupted his thoughts, "Head Wen, I hope to arrange this matter as soon as possible. The head of the family is under great pressure. I am afraid that I will leave immediately after the January period."

"Okay! The head of the Fang family is kind and righteous. Wen is grateful and will not miss the time. In addition, I hope that the housekeeper Cai will return and will thank the head of your family. In the future, the head of the Fang family will not refuse!" Wen Rui's attitude was also very low, and he did not have the arrogance of other gentry. Cai Li was just the son of Cai An, but he still praised him as the "steward".

"You are polite to the head of Wen. The youngest will definitely tell him when he goes back. If the head of Wen has no other important matters, the youngest will say goodbye first!" Cai Li did not dare to be entrusted and said more humbly.

"Okay, Ah Fu, I'll send Butler Cai to me!" Wen Rui nodded with a smile, and finally remembered that he did not get up to see him off, but he still arranged for the butler in the mansion to send him out.

After leaving the Wen family, Cai Li rushed to the next house without stopping and informed him of going to sea in person.

When notifying the notice, they all mentioned the pressure on the head of the family intentionally or unintentionally, and the opportunity was not easy to come by, and then emphasized the meaning of "taking attention as soon as possible".

While all the Fang forces were surprised, they did not feel sorry for Fang Chen's "benevolence and righteousness", and they had more recognition of him.

Of course, this special "notification" method does not include the three towns and seven families, especially the two families in Tieshan. It only sent a manager to inform you, and there is no need to say more about the specific ones.

In fact, the Qi family suffered a small loss because most of the ships belong to them and should occupy the big part. But Fang Chen needed to balance the interests, so he divided their part, thus losing a lot.

However, they understood the current situation and knew Fang Chen's character and had no complaints. They all firmly believed that Fang Chen would make up for the losses at this time sooner or later.
