Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 44: In-law factions (recommendation requested)

But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If Jiaolong Trading Company is not strong enough, how can it take over the entire Anjiang business

Such an annual income must be an astronomical figure.

With huge profits, whether it is recruiting or cultivating talents, it is a matter of course.

This is the so-called stronger and richer, and richer and stronger. This principle is a universal law in any world.

The speed of the boat traveling along the river was very fast. After chatting with Wang Shouzhe and his sixth uncle Wang Dinghai, the boat soon left the Wang family's exclusive water area. The left side of the river was a large rocky beach, and the right side of the river was a steep cliff.

The next section of water is the territory of the Zhao family in Ping'an Town. To understand it from Wang Shouzhe's thinking, it is the exclusive economic zone divided by various forces after long-term wrestling.

After more than ten miles of waterway, the right bank is the Shanyang area, where the old nest of the Gongsun family is located. Compared to the small Ping'an Town where there are three families crowded together, there are only two families in Shanyang Town, and the overall strength of the Shanyang Gongsun family is far stronger than that of the Shanyang Cao family.

The marriage of the Xuanwu family is very particular, that is, to ensure that each other's blood can continue to reproduce, and at the same time have the means of alliance and diplomacy. Generally speaking, families belonging to the same region do not marry each other.

Just like the Wang family, Liu family and Zhao family in Ping'an Town, they are not married to each other. This represents an unspoken metaphor that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and they will annex each other sooner or later.

Similarly, for foreign marriages, you cannot choose two aristocratic families to marry in the same region. Just like the Wang family is in a marriage relationship with the Shanyang Gongsun family, it is absolutely forbidden to marry with Shanyang, that is a big taboo. In return, the Shanyang Gongsun family will naturally not marry the Pingan Zhao family or the Liu family.

Therefore, there are dozens of families in Changningwei, large and small, which seem to be intricate, but in fact they are divided into five or six factions of in-laws.

While admiring the looming scenery along the way, Wang Shouzhe sorted out some thoughts. For the future development of the family, the faction of in-laws is a factor that must be taken into consideration.

Take the Xu family of Changning as an example. Now the Xu family of Changning has a family of three spirit platforms, and the most powerful ancestor has reached the late stage of the spirit platform, which is not much worse than the Wang family's most prosperous period.

But as in-laws, the two parties still maintain a direct marriage. The main business of Xinmao Sericulture Farm is planting mulberry and raising sericulture, which also relies on the Xu family for survival. Not to mention other things, just say that the purchase price of the cocoon is 20% higher than others, and it can be seen that the Changning Xu family is still fond of the Wang family.

If one day he, Wang Shouzhe, achieves the Lingtai Realm, how can he not miss the incense of Gongsun family, Lu family and so on? Anyone may have a time of downfall. Thinking about how strong the Wang family was at the beginning, isn't it also a downfall

"Shou Zhe, look quickly, that is Zhao's fishing fleet." Wang Dinghai said suddenly.

Wang Shouzhe glanced at the river, and found a fishing fleet several miles away, two of which were medium-sized fishing boats. More than a dozen fishing boats spread out, but it looks mighty. It can be seen that they are better than Wang's in terms of the size of fishing boats.

It's no wonder that among the three aristocratic families in Xiaoping'an Township, the Wang family is currently the weakest. Firstly, the Wang family had ill-fated fate, and secondly, it must be "attributed" to the joint squeeze strategy of the Zhao family and the Liu family.

However, both the Zhao family and the Liu family knew that once the Wang family collapsed and perished, Ping'an Town would be their battleground. From the fact that Zhao and Liu are not married to each other, it can be seen that they have a tacit understanding between them.

"Hehe, they still use the outdated fishing techniques of the fleet's nets." Wang Ding was at the helm by the sea, with a sneer on his lips, and a sense of superiority in his heart.

It's no wonder, since Wang Shouzhe taught the fixed moving net technology. Wang Dinghai has already secretly set up 30 fixed moving kites in various hidden places on both sides of the strait. In those hidden places not far from the kites, he has also built a very simple thatched hut for two fishermen to take turns to work and rest.

Moreover, those fixed kites that use the seesaw principle are extremely simple and light, even an ordinary minor can easily master them without much effort.

Fishing boats on the river at night are more dangerous. Unless there is a special need, they usually leave the boat at dawn and return to port before dark. However, moving zithers can carry out fishing operations without fire at night, and the shore is much safer than the river.

The regularity of fish activities is also that they will gradually approach the shore after nightfall, because there are more food opportunities on the shore, and the night will also give them a sense of security.

Now during the fish season, just one fixed kite can be caught overnight. If you are lucky, you can catch one or two thousand catties, and even if you are unlucky, you can catch four to five hundred catties.

Thirty kite fishing spots, the average daily catch of 20,000 catties in the past two days! A full two hundred tons of various catches...

Therefore, for the sake of confidentiality, Wang Dinghai has stopped the operation of moving the zither during the day, removed the net, and covered the bracket with grass. When it gets dark in the evening, assemble them quickly, and fish for a night while the night is dark.

Anyway, the catch during the day is much worse than that at night, so it is better to increase the confidentiality factor.

As for the daytime, in order to hide the eyes and ears. If there is nothing else, the fishing fleet should and must go out. It's just that during the fish season, Wang Dinghai gradually looked down on the dozens of tons of catches that lasted a day, and he was thinking about getting more kites.

When Wang Dinghai reported this to Wang Shouzhe in a low voice, Wang Shouzhe was filled with emotion. The natural resources in this world are really too rich. On Earth, even those European and American countries known for their rich natural water resources are far inferior to this world.

"Uncle Six, we must pay attention to the maintenance of resources as much as possible." Wang Shouzhe was relieved, but also worried, "In the future, the small fish of the same species should be released."

"Then what? These are all money, and there are dozens of loads every day." Wang Dinghai stared, "Besides, if our family doesn't make money, other families will." After a pause, he felt a little embarrassed. Not seeing Wang Shouzhe's eyes, he had to say awkwardly, "Shouzhe, if you really want to have an opinion, that one will ask the boatman to gather the small fish and throw them all into the Fengshui River. It can be regarded as our own stocking. I will add a few more at the worst." Build a kite and bring back more big fish."

"It's okay." Wang Shouzhe knew the thinking of the older generation in the family, they were too poor, and it was money to make one more money. As for the advanced thinking of protecting natural resources, it cannot be reversed for a while.

When the speed of the boat was fast, it quickly passed Zhao's fishing boats two miles away, and gradually drifted away from them.

Starting from Fenggu gate to Donggang, there is about 120 miles of waterway. If the wind is smooth, it will arrive in only two and a half hours.

Here, the river surface is more open, in the shape of a large trumpet mouth, and the water potential slows down. On the left side of the bell mouth of the Dajiang River is the endless Liuping Mountains.

The Liuping Mountains and the area behind it are very dangerous areas, which belong to one of the uncultivated lands. All kinds of ferocious beasts become more powerful the deeper they go, even if the ancestors of the Lingtai Realm wander around at will, they may fall.

On the right side of the river, there is a large expanse of plains. According to Wang Shouzhe's observations on the map and at the scene, it was judged that this should be a large alluvial plain.

This large piece of fertile land is where the famous Donghaiwei in Longzuo County is located.

And Donggang Town is the farthest plate extending eastward in the Changningwei area, and it is adjacent to the Donghaiwei area.

The geographical location of Donggang is very advantageous, and there is a natural deep-water shelter from the wind. Over time, this place has become a rich port with developed freight and concentrated commercial trade.

The Wang family's in-laws, the Donggang Chen family, is one of the aristocratic families here.

The Chen family is a family that has been mainly engaged in shipping business for generations. It has been less than a hundred years since its establishment, so it is considered a relatively young family. Moreover, its pioneering and entrepreneurial ancestor had passed away a long time ago. It sounds like the background is not strong, but in fact this family now has two full Lingtai realm ancestors.

The older ancestor was in his early 100s, and the younger one was only in his 70s.

In addition, Chen Dewei, the current patriarch of the Chen clan, has already reached the peak of Qi refining at the age of forty-two. He is doing the final polishing and resource-raising preparations, and he will try to hit the Lingtai Realm within half a year at the earliest, and at the slowest in two years.

Once the patriarch Chen Dewei succeeds in advancing, the Donggang Chen family will leapfrog into a three-spirited platform structure, and the foundation of the family will be more stable.

Every thirty years, a Spirit Stage Realm emerges!

It can be seen that the Donggang Chen family is quite good in terms of financial resources and luck.

Wang Shouzhe looked at the vibrant Donggang buildings from a distance, and he was also a little emotional. Compared with the previous luck of the Pingan Wang family, it was a bit too bad.

Fortunately, now there is him, Wang Shouzhe.

Suddenly!

A ship sailed out of the inner bend port, and what was more unique was that it raised a huge national flag, which was a golden flag bird flying above the sea.

On the observation deck, there is also a semaphore hand waving the flag.

"Shou Zhe." Wang Dinghai said happily, "It's the boat of the Chen family in Donggang, and it's using semaphore to ask if we are visitors from the Wang family. It should be that the other party sent someone to welcome us."

"En." Wang Shouzhe nodded. He had sent his generals to the Chen family to announce the itinerary.

Wang Shouzhe guessed it was the patriarch Chen Fangjie, because that guy was about to become Wang Shouzhe's real brother-in-law...
