"You said Fang Chen left Fuyu?" Jiang Liuying looked at Huang Yong in shock and said.

Huang Yong was one of the three squad leader guards, and his father died in the battle of Feisha Village. When he took over his father's rank and became a yamen runner. Because he was not strong and had some brains, he was quickly promoted to the yamen runner.

Because of the yamen runners of generations, they have little power, so they are very good at making money in the market and have a good reputation, so they can be regarded as one of the local snakes in the city.

This time Fang Chen went out and did not deliberately hide it. Huang Yong got the news immediately.

For the yamen runners, the county priest is the thigh. In addition, Jiang Liuying has a very deep background, so he naturally wants to hug him, so he immediately came to report the news.

"That's right, the young man has confirmed that the head of the Fang family did leave with the master of Niu Guan and the twelve martial arts disciples." Huang Yong lowered his hands and said respectfully.

Jiang Liuying raised her eyebrows slightly, but she quickly recovered from indifference and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go down first!"

Huang Yong was immediately flattered and said, "No, no, no, these are all things that young people should do!" The county priest actually greeted him, which made him feel a little excited. You know, Yan Rui used to be 'yes, I know' and never had any extra words.

"Ah, by the way, Captain Huang, you still need to worry about the movements in the city during this period. If there is any news, I hope you can report it." Jiang Liuying suddenly called Huang Yong again and said in a gentle and polite tone.

Huang Yong immediately felt great respect and thrust his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, sir, I've been hanging in the city for many years. I ask myself that there are still some ways. If there is any disturbance, I will report it to you as soon as possible!"

Jiang Liuying looked at him with praise and smiled, "thank you, Captain Huang."

Huang Yong's face turned red, he waved his hands while waving, and finally he almost floated out. He had never received such attention for many years as a yamen runner, let alone the noble county lord, which almost made him forget who he was.

After Huang Yong left, Jiang Liuying smiled at the corner of her mouth. The headmasters of the third squad were all local tyrants, and their strength was second-most important. What is important is that they had enough sources of information and were the biggest assistants to the county master control the county.

Foreign county masters are all discredited by the county, and the upper-level officials are all local forces. If they rely on them, what the county master can see will naturally be what they want the county master to see. At this time, the best source of information is naturally the headmaster.

To be honest, if there is no support from the captain, even if someone kills and sets fire at the county government office, the county magistrate may not know.

Therefore, after Jiang Liuying arrived, he did not deliberately support anyone as the headmaster, but continued to appoint the headmaster of the third squad and tried his best to win over.

Jiang Liuying was indeed extremely capable. He said a few words, without a promise or something substantial, which made Huang Yong's heart mostly convinced and had a source of information from the county.

But soon, his brows frowned again, and it was not a good thing for him to leave.

As the legitimate son of the Jiang family, he naturally had some energy and was unwilling to take advantage of other people's achievements and leave. He also wanted to make some of his own achievements, so he also had some frown on this.

The greatest achievements of a county chief are to increase the population, money tax, grain tax and bandit suppression.

Now the territory is peaceful, and the only bandits were flattened before he came. On the way to the county town, I heard that there were a few groups, but those belonged to the county town.

Not to mention the population, it doesn’t just rise.

As for grain tax, Fang Chen controlled 90% of the townships and had already made it perfect, the water conservancy canals were well repaired, and the water trucks and oxen were fully equipped. All landless people in the township and villages were either given land clearance or became hired farmers. Even the idle and poor people in the city were plundered and built villages and opened fields.

Today, Fuyu farmland has been opened to its extreme, and its grain tax has more than doubled, which is also the greatest achievement Yan Rui has obtained.

Otherwise, based on his losses in the three times of suppressing bandits, even if he later suppressed the bandits, he would at most make up for his merits and barely get a good assessment. It was precisely because of this huge grain tax that his achievements soared.

But in this way, he was completely out of the question. How many kilograms of grain can he increase after repairing and repairing?

In the end, only the money tax is left.

The maritime trade has just been on the rise for two or three years. Although there are a lot of commercial taxes, it is still far from reaching its peak. Now only the seven cities and Fuyu forces have ships, but only a few cities have ships in many cities.

Moreover, among the forces with ships, there are not many seamen, and the number of ships that can go to sea is very limited, and the transactions are far from reaching the maximum.

In addition, the new port construction is not well-known, and there are almost no foreign ships.

In a few years, everything will mature and the sea ships will increase, and the commercial tax will inevitably explode and increase. This is the peach he came to Fuyu to pick.

However, Jiang Liuying had already visited the pier. It was too small and could only dock more than ten ships at a time.

It's okay if there are not many ships now. If the maritime trade is prosperous in the future, it will cause congestion in the queue at the wharf, slow cargo operation, and greatly delay trading time. This will also change to cause commercial tax restrictions.

Jiang Liuying's plan is to dig sea and fill soil, expand the dock, and speed up the operation and trading of goods. When the dock is large, various forces will inevitably purchase more ships, increase sea trade as much as possible, and gain more benefits.

In this way, the commercial tax will likely increase from one or two times to ten times and twenty times!

With this business tax, he can achieve great achievements!

The most important thing is that this achievement is his own, not the cheaper ones of his predecessors!

But sea digging and filling is not a small project. To achieve its expected scale, the dock requires a lot of financial, material and personnel.

Money and materials are easy to deal with. I believe that in his capacity and the interests of Shanghai Trade will inevitably be quite powerful.

The biggest problem is the personnel. Ninety percent of the farmers in Fuyu are in the hands of Fang Chen. It is true that the county master has the right to recruit corvee labor or let various forces gather people together, and they can also obtain enough personnel.

But what should I do on the seabed? The dock that can stop a large ship must be at least five or six meters deep. It is impossible to dig underwater without sufficient water quality. If you encounter trouble, you will also be able to drive piles, build stones, and fill soil. People who are proficient in water quality are indispensable.

In the entire Fuyu, except for the seafarers, people who are proficient in water are also in the hands of Fang Chen.

Jiang Liuying has found out clearly that Fang Chen has been cultivating his water nature for a long time. Now there are nearly a thousand warriors who are proficient in water nature, and there are also a large number of fishermen with good water nature in their nests.

But those warriors are all under the name of Weihai Gang, and they are considered personnel from the martial arts world, so they cannot be recruited at all. The fisherman is involved in the core fishery of the Fang family, which is an important fish supply in the county and the Fang family's huge breeding industry.

The breeding industry involves the supply of meat in the county, and even some of the supply of meat in the county. If the fisherman is forcibly recruited, the impact will be too great. It is likely to cause turmoil in the whole county and cause people from the Jiantiansi. Not to mention the achievements, it would be great to be able to withdraw from Fuyu safely.

So in the final analysis, if you really want to expand the dock, you must get Fang Chen’s support!

After thinking about it, Jiang Liuying finally shook her head helplessly. Only then did he truly realize Fang Chen's influence in Fuyu. Tentacles are spread all over the country, covering the whole county, and the industry affects the whole body. All Fuyu forces, even if they are not the Fang lineage, will also be potentially affected by him.

Who can ignore the county's 80% of the grain, 80% of the meat, fruits and vegetables? The big markets in the county, inventory warehouses outside the county, and the forces in the county must be close to each other. There is also the sea trade that seems to be under the control of the seven families in the county. If Fang Chen took away the young and strong docks, they would probably not even be able to get the laborers.

To be honest, if Fang Chen stomped his feet, the entire Fuyu would be shaken three times.

"A master!" Jiang Liuying sighed softly. The more he understood, the more he could understand Fang Chen's power. Even with his pride, he felt a little ashamed. If he were himself, it would be difficult to achieve this level without the support of his family.

If this person is not good, he will definitely not want to get into evil, because this does not agree with the interests of the Jiang family.

When you reach the level of the Jiang family, it is difficult and difficult to make any further. What is more important is to maintain it. Therefore, the fewer enemies the better, especially strong enemies with huge potential.

"Forget it! Not long after I first arrived, it was not as good as a moment." Jiang Liuying shook her head again, gave up her plan to force the fishermen, looked up and shouted: "Come!"

"Sir!" Soon, a servant trotted in.

Jiang Liuying said lightly: "Go to Weihai Gang to ask when will their gang leader come back!"

"promise!"

……………………

Fang Chen has a huge influence in Fuyu, and his every move will inevitably attract many people's attention.

Therefore, he had just left the city and many people knew about it, and even some people who were interested had found out where he was going and when he left.

In a courtyard in the county town, four people sat opposite each other, one looked calm and the other was arrogant, and the other showed a faint joy.

"Have you found out clearly?" said a humane person with a calm expression. He was the person in charge of Zhong family in Fuyu, Zhong Boming.

"I've found it out!" A man with a happy face said with a key point, and he was the head of the Liu family in Tieshan, Liu Chuxiong. "Fang Chen did leave and went to the Yunhe Sect to participate in the innate ceremony, and then took the disciples of the martial arts school to travel around the world, which would take several months to return."

Another person with a happy face was Liu Hongxuan. He became even more happy when he heard this. "Okay! Fang Chen has a great influence and is mentally good. I was worried that it would be difficult to accomplish anything, but I didn't expect that he would leave by himself. It would be enough for several months!"

"Months?" Zhong Boming showed suspicion and said cautiously: "How many months are there? Is it really certain? Not the false statement he deliberately made?"

"This..." Liu Chuxiong hesitated and thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Since Fang Chen's rise, he has never said anything wrong. He has already told Tong Qian not to hide it, and it seems that there will be no falsehood. As for a few months, he has not said it. If he returns to the Yunhe Sect and adds the ceremony, the journey will take ten days and half a month. If he travels through the world, it is hard to say."

Zhong Boming's expression was then relaxed. As long as he was sure that he would not come back in a short time, as long as he moved quickly, he would be able to accomplish something in one or two months. Of course, the later Fang Chen came back, the better.

"Haha, Brother Bai Ming, don't worry. Since Fang Chen has concluded with silence, he said that months will be several months, and I think it will be one or two months. As long as there are three months, when he comes back, the overall situation will be decided. What if he is unwilling to give up?" Liu Hongxuan laughed, and then pretended to sigh, "It's a pity that your Zhong family is unwilling to participate in major events, otherwise things will be much simpler."

Zhong Boming glanced at him lightly and said, "It's not too much, it's not too much, it's not too little. You know what Fang Chen's influence in Fuyu is. Your Liu family has done a lot in recent years, but have you gained something?"

In fact, he had an unnecessary mentality in this action, and even the Zhong family was divided into two factions. One faction maintained stability and wanted to continue to cooperate with Fang Chen. After all, although Fang Chen was not very obedient, he had excellent integrity. The Zhong family deserved no small amount of benefits, and the supply of meat was also sufficient. He felt that there was no need to turn against him, so he created some variables in vain.

The other faction supports the Liu family, wants to replace the Fang family and personally control the general trend of Fuyu. Even after the Fang family loses power, they find another opportunity to kill Fang Chen and swallow up all the Fang family's huge industries.

The head of the family is still hesitating. Fang Chen is not so easy to deal with. If a bad family is concerned, the interests of the Zhong family will be greatly affected.

Zhong Boming is testing cooperation at this time. If the success rate is extremely high, the Zhong family will participate with all their strength. If things cannot be violated, they can also withdraw in time to continue to maintain their relationship with Fang Chen.

Liu Hongxuan's smile froze when he heard this, and he laughed dryly and stopped talking. Then he turned his head and glared at Liu Chuxiong fiercely.

The Liu family has been trying to win over the forces of the Fang clan in recent years. Liu Chuxiong has often come forward and visited everywhere, but it is useless. Even the small landlords in the countryside refused, which made him very helpless.

What he gained was real benefits, family strength and money increased year by year. Moreover, Fang Chen tried his best to protect his own forces, and was fair in dealing with things, and would compensate him for his losses, which made people feel at ease and convincing.

They can only give a bunch of empty promises, and the promised things are not as good as they get now.

No one is a fool, so you still have to consider how to choose?

What's more, no matter how powerful the Zhong and Liu families are, they are still county town forces. The influence in Fuyu is far inferior to that of the Fang family. Who would be stupid and turn against the Fang family?

"Hahaha! I'm afraid you're too cautious? Why do you need such trouble if you are just a successful person? In my opinion, what if that kid is there or not? It's time to start early. As long as the mentor arrives, he will not be able to make a big fuss. When the documents of the Supervisory Department come down, that kid can't pinch it as much as he wants?" The last person with a proud look suddenly burst into laughter and said proudly, not taking Fang Chen seriously at all.

Zhong and Liu were stunned and glanced at him strangely. It was a look of looking at the silly. If Fang Chen was so easy to deal with, how many masters and apprentices of my two families would need?

To be honest, although your master is a powerful innate person, he is just an ordinary martial artist. In terms of brains, he may not be able to beat that kid.
