Chapter 392: Balance of Interests

You must know that the ship that was scuttled by them was originally known for its fierceness and toughness, and many people know that the guy has also played the role of a pirate in private, but he was not caught by anyone.

Such a guy is also very strong in combat among all the merchant ships, but in the end, he can't even stop an attack on the Jixiang, let alone other merchant ships, and there is definitely no one with them.

If you really chase them down, you can find a place with fewer boats, and you can kill them, which is completely worth the loss.

Before these guys, who were blinded by huge interests, formed an alliance and came to find fault together, no ship, or fleet, dared to continue to explore.

However, when they formed a loose alliance and wanted to get a piece of the pie, it should be the combined fleet of Lin Sen and the other nobles, and it was still no fun to seize the benefits of it.

No one dared to provoke the fleet, and they went all the way to the Spice Island, and once again enjoyed a feast of wealth.

Fortunately, there were those crew members who had been here to suppress the formation, those who had seen gold everywhere for the first time, and some of the new crew members who were overjoyed, so that nothing went wrong.

After they slowly calmed down from this ecstasy, the old crew also followed Lin Sen's orders and led more people to find out all the big food crew members hidden on the island as much as possible to prevent future troubles.

The interests involved in Spice Island are too great, and Lin Sen doesn't want any leaks to exist.

The smoke from the smoke from the fires they might have made to cook, or the columns of smoke they made for help, had a certain chance of revealing the location of these spice islands.

Lin Sen definitely didn't want this to happen, of course, he had to pinch him off at the source.

Last time, the number of crew members was relatively limited, at least compared to this small island, there is no guarantee that a comprehensive search without loopholes will be achieved.

This time the crew is three times as large as last time, so naturally it is different, and it is basically guaranteed that there will be no fish that have slipped through the net.

If you can also explore the two small islands that are almost connected, there may be other more valuable resources on the islands.

Not to mention, they did find a few guys who don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, who have lived a savage life on this island for a while.

The others don't know if they're hiding deep enough, or if they've encountered all kinds of accidents, and they can't be seen anyway.

In this way, as long as they, the crew take precautions, the possibility of accidental leakage is very small.

After exploring all the spice islands around him, he understood the situation of these islands clearly, and according to Lin Sen's instructions, he left enough conditions for each spice to grow and reproduce naturally, and did not carry out destructive collection, but it was enough to easily fill three large ships, and after replenishing food and fresh water, he could return with a full load.

The sensation caused by the return of this fleet is naturally very different from the last time, it cannot be said that thousands of people are empty, all of them came to watch, but it is not too much of an exaggeration to say that the city is boiling. Even if I didn't go to the scene to see it, most of the discussion was about it.

The reason is very simple, this time the three ships returned full of various spices, which naturally confirmed the fact that the Lin family had mastered the source of spices.

After all, it was just speculation before, but the meaning of this is naturally very different, and the attention it has attracted is naturally very different.

Even if he knew that Lin Sen's own caravan and the few nobles who were familiar with him could digest these spices, there were still various large and small forces that came up and wanted to share the profits.

Some of them's methods are not very peaceful, both bright and dark, and there are no less things like robbery and theft, which makes Lin Sen's newly built earthen building very busy for a while.

Fortunately, the foundation here is solid enough, whether you want to attack or sneak in, there is not much hope.

There is also the one who digs the tunnel, but after digging for a long time, he finds that the underground around the tulou is actually a rock layer, which is absolutely desperate.

In fact, Lin Sen didn't make the tunnel by himself, but unfortunately they didn't find it.

There are also not a few people who oppress people with power, and even the Guangzhou Thorn Shi has vaguely expressed his interest in Spice Island, but then a representative of a certain noble ran to talk to him, and he didn't hear similar thoughts again.

Whether it is a land-sitting household or a spokesman for the interests of some other noble, it is natural that the nobles' men and horses will be responsible for dealing with it.

This is also an important reason why Lin Sen wants to bring this group of Zixungui in, if there is no help from these people to share the pressure, Lin Sen has an empty supply of goods, and he may not be able to sell it, or he may not be able to make much money.

Especially when these people have a tendency to unite, Lin Sen can't bear it by himself, so he can only break the fortune and avoid disasters.

And now that the emerging magnates have been wooed, everyone's interests are equal, and the interests of the royal family are in it, and the situation facing it is naturally very different.

Naturally, there are people to help share these external pressures, and Lin Sen doesn't have to spend so much effort to deal with these people he doesn't like.

It can be seen from this that he made the right decision to organize a group to scrape the interests of Spice Island.

However, there is only one person in this who really can't be ignored, and he can't simply deal with the past, and that is the de facto emperor of Lingnan - Feng An.

Although the subordinates of the nobles have begun to infiltrate the Lingnan side, when it comes to the influence and right to speak in this place, Feng An, who has been operating here for several generations, is naturally still the boss.

Lin Sen's spice business, if they still want to do it on the ground in Lingnan, even if it is Panyu in Guangfu, they must also take into account the opinions of this nameless "Lingnan King".

So when he abandoned the euphemism and directly expressed his desire to join Lin Sen and them, Lin Sen and the others knew that this had to be thought out carefully.

Whether it is war or peace, it all depends on this one thing, and the huge interests behind this spice island are enough to change the attitude of many people.

And the criterion they measure is only what is more in their own interests.

The same reason, in fact, is explained in many aspects, such as the suppression of the Turks, in the final analysis, it is not because this is more in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty, but also in the interests of those generals and emerging nobles, so they can work together to achieve such a victory.

And some people in the family prevent such a war from happening, nominally because they are warlike and will die, and this kind of talking about things from the beginning is just harming their interests in the final analysis.

The caravans under their hands have nothing to do to smuggle more things into the grassland, and by the way, they also monopolize most of the output there, so naturally they wish that this form would continue to be maintained, at least to a certain extent, to retain their benefits.

As a result, after the grassland was beaten down, the martial artists and other emerging magnates ate on the grassland with their mouths full of oil, and the family members were squeezed very miserably.

These people are almost not seen in emerging industries, including wool, for the same reason.

And here in Lingnan, the standard of measurement is naturally the same, depending on the benefits obtained from the war, or whether it is a combination of two benefits.

Of course, military exploits are also to be counted.
