Chapter 394: Sitting on a powder keg

The movement of the fleet on this trip is undoubtedly the biggest one, not only the leading figures on the Guangfu side came, but Feng Ang also went to Hepu in person to show a photo, which can be regarded as a platform for the fleet.

Then there was a very different scene from the previous two trips, obviously the goal of the fleet was bigger, and there was no way to guarantee that all the merchant ships could be as fast as the Ping An and them, so the other merchant ships were also expected to be able to follow and peek into the secrets of the Spice Island, but this time no ship dared to do so.

The scale of the fleet is large, and the strength is the best of all fleets, if any one dares to continue to follow behind, it can be regarded as a provocation to the entire fleet, and the blow encountered is definitely not something that any fleet can withstand, even if it forms an alliance, it can't compete, and the Ping An is too strong.

Besides, I really can't beat it, it's a big deal that the fleet won't go to Spice Island, go around and get more gems, ivory rhino horn or something, you can also make money, anyway, it's no fun to get the secret of Spice Island.

Another ship that everyone received Feng An's solemn warning and dared to follow would not want to mix up here in Lingnan in the future.

As long as the sea ships want to do Datang business, they must weigh the weight of it.

Because with the current navigation technology, Lingnan is absolutely impossible to bypass.

There are so many Tang nobles' forces in it, and in the future, they basically expect to be able to do anything on the Tang side.

So the matter is obvious, follow behind you to gamble on the possibility of what happens, to be able to know the secrets of the spice island, but there is a high possibility of losing yourself, or even the life of the entire fleet, at least the entire Datang market.

Honestly put away that bit of greed, and they can continue to make money at both ends.

Of course, this account is very easy to calculate, so let's talk about it now.

This has created a situation in which the fleet is majestic, and no one dares to plunder its edge.

It is not difficult to see that this cooperation has blocked too much trouble for Lin Sen from the beginning, and at the same time established many advantages, which can be regarded as laying a mutually beneficial and win-win tone.

After the fleet sailed, the caravans of each family also began to transport their own goods, and they would still choose to travel together, which was also a form of alliance, opening up various checkpoints and ensuring their own safety, which would be much more convenient.

In addition to the spices, of course, the caravans also purchased many other goods, most of which included cotton cloth that had been brought on fire by Lancôme again.

The price of this thing in Lingnan is similar to that of a white pick-up, even if the quality requirements for those workshops in Lingnan have increased a lot because of the discovery of its value, the cost is not too high, because the labor cost here is really too low.

The most important loss is in the transportation area, after all, with the same volume of spices, or other foreign goods, the profit margin is quite amazing.

This space is reserved for cotton cloth, and the corresponding cost is not high, and the selling price cannot be low, and it cannot be less than the profit of transporting so many good goods.

Of course, those veterans who went deep into the mountains and forests to exchange all kinds of things, including other people's lives, for the goods they exchanged for were also to be transported away.

Otherwise, their actions would not have shown much value, and how could they have such a great motivation to continue to penetrate into all corners of Lingnan.

This is thanks to the fact that everyone has seen greater benefits from the Lingnan side, so the scale of the caravan that came over this time has all been expanded, and the transportation capacity and safety protection are the top priorities.

And with these goods being transported away at once, the pressure on the tulou side is much less.

Others know that there are no good things in it, so naturally they won't continue to fight its idea, at least they won't come here one after another, and they will secretly rob each other to greet each other.

The manpower that needs to be left behind on the Tulou side is correspondingly much less.

Those veterans were almost trimmed, loosened their muscles and bones, and continued to go deep into the mountains and forests.

We've all tasted the sweetness from our previous explorations, so it's time to continue to expand the results.

After sending off his caravan, Lin Sen returned to the barracks, and in this delicate situation, he had to grasp a strong team in his hands at any time.

There are veterans and generals of various families on the side of the tulou, and after they disperse, he must keep an eye on the nearly 1,000 elite soldiers.

The current situation seems to be very harmonious, but it is still difficult to guarantee that Feng Ang's side will not play a moth.

Under the seemingly calm surface, all kinds of games have never stopped.

The infiltration of those veterans is weakening Feng An's influence on the ground in Lingnan, which is also equivalent to taking food from the tiger's mouth.

Feng An's proposal to participate in the caravan was equivalent to giving up this part of the interests that originally belonged to his family, and instead made up for it from the spice trade.

This is not only a compromise under his reluctance, but it is not a way to retreat as advance, in order to achieve another balance with those nobles who must be involved.

At the same time, it actually shows his bottom line, you swallowed my benefits, you must show something.

Otherwise, everyone will die and the net will be broken, and if I can't talk, I'll flip the table, and everyone won't have anything to eat.

This is also an important reason for this cooperation, and he has the confidence to do so.

And after the secret of Spice Island was revealed to him, Lin Sen and the others were not sure if this guy would have the intention of leaving everyone alone, or even swallowing them.

After all, the merchant ships are all going to be on the road when they arrive, and the chassis they pass along the way are all under him, the "King of Lingnan", and he has the conditions to complete the counter-killing.

Therefore, Lin Sen needs to grasp as much power as possible in case of emergency.

Sitting in his position is like sitting on a powder keg mountain, and he doesn't know when he accidentally bursts.

In private, when various forces were reshuffling, the shipyard next to the barracks continued to build ships calmly.

Now that the existence of Spice Island has been confirmed, it is clear that as long as there is a ship, it will be pulling money back again and again, and everyone is not playing with the idea of expanding their own fleet.

The orders from the shipyard have been lined up for several years, and who makes those henchmen of each family praise the auspicious and Ruyi.

We can't afford to make a luxury product with top wood all over our body, and we can't afford to make a simplified version.

At this time, there is the stimulation of the spice island, and I have to get on a new ship even if I grit my teeth. Even the nobles of each family have the intention of eliminating the old ships and gradually replacing them with new ships.

After all, every family can use it with confidence, and the number of sailors with loyalty and guarantee is relatively limited. The new ship, which is simple to operate, pulls more goods, and runs faster, has naturally become the first choice.

If you run one or two more trips, won't the money come out of this boat, and it can be better kept secret, not afraid of other people's prying eyes, no matter how it is calculated, it is a good deal.

Just when Lin Sen was trying to maintain the situation in Guangfu, in the north of the Tang Dynasty, to be precise, Lin Sen's home in later generations, a major event happened that was closely related to him.
