Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 252
"Yes, the sea is vast. Even if the Baqi pirates are the number one sea pirate, even if you add other small pirates rampaging across the sea, they are just a little sesame seed for the vast sea. If there is no accurate information, these It is also very difficult for pirates to encounter these fleets, so there are still many people who are lucky. Generally, they will be discovered once ten times, but for these companies, they can still make a lot of money if they are discovered three times out of ten times. .As for the shipping in the coastal counties or prefectures, most of the cost will be handed over to the pirates. After all, the coastal route is only in such a small place.

Liang Jingwei knew that Wei Haicang was explaining to herself.

She finally understood.

Those who run coastal business are somewhat different from those who go to Amaterasu. There are more routes to Amaterasu, and the sea area is larger. The chance of being discovered by pirates is very small. It is normal for most of them not to pay tolls.

You may be lucky, you may not encounter sea bandits dozens of times, and of course you may be unlucky and encounter them as soon as you go to sea.

"At present, my lord and the Baqi pirates have formed a grudge, and it may not be appropriate to go to the Tianzhao country." Wei Haicang said again.

The demise of the Zhou family business was related to Fang Jing, and this matter also spread.

I believe that the Badaki pirates will also know about it.

In the future, at sea, I will definitely keep an eye on the ships of the company.

"Let's talk about the countries in Southeast Asia." Fang Jing said.

The business in Tianzhao Kingdom is indeed very profitable, but now that there are Baqi pirates in front, the ships of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce will definitely receive special care.

But Fang Jing didn't really care about it, he was in a hurry to go there without even talking about the business.

Moreover, the Eight Qi pirates themselves will find a way to solve it.

As for the Shuangjiao, he thought to deal with it after a while.

This time Shao Bo and Qi Dashan hijacked the fleet of the Zhou Family Company, and Shuang Jiao was probably furious.

In particular, the cargo of the ship that the two of them robbed did not give Shuangjiao a cent.

Shuangjiao will not let Shao Bo and the others go.

Shao Bo and the others stayed with the Shuangjiao for a while, and had a clearer understanding of the strength of the Shuangjiao.

It's just in time for them to come here, and then they will directly join forces with the blood shark to destroy the double dragon.

"In the case of Nanyang, there are mainly two pirate forces." Wei Haicang said.

"The third-ranked 'Sea Beard' Hu Shanlang and the fourth-ranked 'Sea Snake' Bao Jiuniang." Wang Xiyue asked.

"Yes, that's them." Wei Haicang nodded and said, "The main range of activities of these two groups of pirates is in the southeast sea area of ​​Lingnan County, and there are many roads away from us. You don't know much about them like Baqi, Shuangjiao and Xuexue. There are so many sharks. However, according to what the old man heard, the killings caused by these two groups of pirates are smaller than those of the other three groups of pirates, and they are more like the forces secretly maintained by certain companies."

"Oh?" Fang Jing's heart moved, "Do you know who it is?"

He knew that there were quite a few small pirate forces on the sea that were related to some local tycoons and firms on the shore, that is, their clansmen or their subordinates went to sea to act as pirates.

One is to plunder the ships of other companies, and the other is naturally to secretly protect their own ships.

But he hasn't heard who secretly raised these five pirate forces before.

"This?" Wei Haicang shook his head and said, "I just heard someone mention it by chance back then. It's hard to tell if it's true or not."

"Little sister thinks, it's probably related to some companies along the coast of Lingnan County." Wang Xiyue said.

If there are really people behind these two pirate forces, some local businesses in Lingnan County will be very suspicious.

"Although I also think so, but there is no clear evidence yet." Fang Jing said.

"Brother Fang, we can analyze it." Wang Xiyue said.

"Oh, then tell me." Fang Jing became interested, and he knew that Wang Xiyue must have thought of something.

"Old Wei just said that the killings of the two big bandits are not that many, and they are mainly for business and to make money." Wang Xiyue said, "Where did the money they make go? As far as my younger sister knows, all these years Those companies in Lingnan County have expanded their power extremely rapidly. In the past, Jiangnan Dongjun was the richest place in the world, but in recent years, Jiangnan Dongjun has suffered many natural and man-made disasters, and some of them have begun to decline. With the momentum of Lingnan County, with It won't be long, maybe ten years, or even a few years, there will be a tendency to catch up with Jiangnan Dongjun."

"Sister Xiyue, is that an exaggeration?" Liang Jingwei couldn't help asking.

The prosperity of Jiangnan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liang Jingwei felt a little unbelievable when she heard Wang Xiyue's words.

The faces of the others were also full of surprise.

Jiangnan Dongjun is known as the most affluent place in the world, not only in the current dynasty, but even in previous dynasties, Jiangnan Dongjun's status is extremely outstanding, because of its wealth, a land of fish and rice.

"It's not an exaggeration, maybe it's more exaggerated than what I said." Wang Xiyue said with a serious face, "When everyone's eyes are on Jiangnan Dongjun, and all forces want to search for silver from Jiangnan Dongjun, Lingnan County is depressed. Make money. Those firms in Lingnan County suddenly became powerful, where did the money come from?"

"It seems that these companies in Lingnan County must be involved." Fang Jing nodded.

These companies in Lingnan County have mastered the sea passage to Nanyang, so they have earned countless silver taels, and the companies in Jiangnan East County must be far behind.

Now it is only by relying on years of background that Lingnan County can be overwhelmed. It will be hard to say in a few years.

"Brother Fang, we need to be more vigilant." Wang Xiyue said again, "Lingnan County is adjacent to Jiangnandong County. As we expand to other counties, we will definitely conflict with them. The other party is a strong opponent."

"It seems that we can't be careless in the future." Fang Jing said with a smile.

Those firms in Lingnan County are also rich and powerful relying on the silver they made from Nanyang. If I really want to compete with them, the pressure is still great.

"It's good to be under pressure." Wang Xiyue smiled, "Since the trip to Hangzhou Mansion, my younger sister has found that many people in the chamber of commerce are a little too complacent."

"Xiyue, when will you tell Zhu Shenglong and Shi Liusheng about this, put some pressure on them, I believe they should know what to do, and they will tell others about it." Fang Jing said.

"Little sister knows." Wang Xiyue nodded.

"Actually, we don't need to worry too much." Fang Jing said, "There are too many places where we can make money, and the money can never be exhausted, and we don't necessarily have to fight each other to the death."

"That's true." Wang Xiyue smiled, "I'm afraid that if we think so, the other party won't and will come after us."

"They really want to come, are we easy to squeeze?" Fang Jing asked with a smile.

After returning to his residence in Fucheng from Huanshan Port, Fang Jing immediately asked Zijuan and the others to check the relationship networks of the two pirate forces, Haihuzi and Haisnake.

Since it involves a firm in Lingnan County, I believe it is easy to find some clues.

Regardless of whether there will be conflicts with the other party in the future, these intelligence messages must be collected in advance and planned in advance, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.
