Zhu Zhi and Zhu Qigongzi went to the dock to see Fang Zhiwen and Zhen Ergongzi and their party leave, this is a special dock belonging to the Zhu family, but it is not afraid that some players will see Fang Zhiwen's whereabouts.

Looking at the sail shadow that was getting farther and farther away, Zhu Qigongzi sighed with regret and reluctance, Zhu Zhi looked back at the hero's short-breathed younger brother, and snorted angrily, which made Zhu Qigongzi very embarrassed.

"It's not promising1 Zhu Zhi added a sentence reluctantly, which made Zhu Qigongzi even more embarrassed.

"Big brother, do you say that the cooperation with the Zhen family is beneficial to us? How do I think this cooperation seems to be more beneficial to the Zhen family, in fact, there are so many families in the north, and we are not necessarily in a hurry to make an appointment with the Zhen family1

Zhu Qigongzi is obviously changing the topic, because this matter has already settled in the dust, and it is already too late to say anything, and secondly, Zhu Qigongzi also participated in the entire negotiation, and now let's talk about this, isn't it an afterthought?

Glancing at the younger brother who was a little evasive in his eyes, Zhu Zhi said as if he was talking to himself: "Judging from the small profit in front of us, it seems that our Zhu family has suffered a little loss, but if you look at this matter as a whole, the biggest loss is the empty Taishou Lord, he didn't catch anything, do you think our Zhu family has done this thing authentically?" ”

"What does this matter to him? He is too guarded, what is there to be afraid of, even if he can really gain a foothold on the grassland, can he still take our Zhu family in Jiangdong? ”

Zhu Zhi shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "The foundation of a family is strength, and the equally important thing is reputation. ”

Zhu Qigongzi looked at the eldest brother in some surprise, and asked a little nervously, "What should I do then?" ”

"Hehe, isn't it already done, how can Lord Fang not understand our thoughts, so Zhen Ergongzi's proposal, in fact, we can see it as Lord Fang's proposal, we seem to have suffered a little loss now and agreed on things, not to mention who will take advantage in the future, at least for now, the three of us feel that we can accept it, that's it." To be honest, there are indeed many families in the north who can cooperate, but the strong are too strong, the weak are too weak, the close is too close, and the far is too far, so the Zhen family is a good choice, I can't be wrong about this. ”

Zhu Zhi stroked his beard, with a smug smile on his face, obviously he was very satisfied with the results of his negotiations.

Zhu Qigongzi didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly became a little ugly: "Big brother, are you saying that Zhen Gongzi is actually doing things for Fang Taishou this time?" How could he suddenly get so close to Fang Taishou? ”

Zhu Zhi glared at Zhu Qigongzi, and said a little angrily: "This is a matter of mutual benefit, and I think the Zhen family and Lord Fang must have already had an agreement to cooperate, after all, the two of them are close to each other and can support each other, and the Zhen family is also eager to find a companion, not to mention anything else, just the Miyun Fortress held by Lord Fang, the Zhen family can be regarded as a safe place to live, and even move important shops into the Miyun Fortress to get Lord Fang's protection." And Lord Fang wants to make a difference, and he needs the support of the Zhen family, a giant merchant in Jizhou, especially grain and grass, which is a necessity for the war, and he can't buy it if he wants to. ”

Zhu Qigongzi thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "I understand, their level is about the same, and they can contain each other, so it is easier to form allies, if Fang is too defensive, the Zhen family will hesitate, right?" ”

"Hehe, I finally understand, this is the doorman's deep meaning to Ah 1 Zhu Zhi said meaningfully.

Zhu Qigongzi's face turned pale, and he looked like he had been hit hard, but then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision, and the look on his face changed from confused to determined.

"Big brother, what about the Inhuman? Isn't that Lord Fang's statement a little alarmist? ”

"No, he was very right, we ignored this matter a little before, the strength of the Yiren is growing faster and faster, if they really occupy the islands in the open sea, plus advanced shipbuilding technology, then it will definitely be our Jiangdong family, especially our Zhu family, Wu family, Yu family and several other big enemies who control the shipping and shipbuilding family, we must strangle them in the cradle, once they are successful, it will be troublesome."

Zhu Zhi put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked back along the trestle, Zhu Qigongzi quickly turned around and followed, walked side by side, and said a little hurriedly: "Then what should we do?" How can we suppress the power of the Inhumans at sea? ”

Zhu Zhi said without looking back: "This is not the business of our Zhu family, this is the business of all families in Jiangdong, what should I do?" Of course, I'm going to go to Lord Thorn Shi to get an idea, I have already contacted the Jianye family, and I'll go to visit Lord Thorn Shi Zang in the afternoon, you don't have to worry about these things. ”

Zhu Zhi groaned for a moment, and suddenly stopped, which caught Zhu Qigongzi, who was following him a little unprepared, and after rushing forward, he turned around and looked at the eldest brother a little strangely.

"Lao Qi, you are ready to go north, and you will be responsible for building a harbor warehouse and shipyard with the Zhen family at the mouth of the Qinghe River, are you willing?"

Zhu Qigongzi nodded excitedly: "Yes!" Willing! The younger brother is willing to go to 1

Zhu Zhi nodded, stopped talking, squinted his eyes and shook his head, turned around and left, Zhu Qigongzi's face darkened slightly, but he quickly became firm, and chased after Zhu Zhi excitedly.

Fang Zhiwen's guess was not wrong at all, although Fang Zhiwen only stood on the port of Jianye and observed for a long time.

A large number of sea ships are from the player's handwriting, the player's understanding of sea trade and sea routes is much more advanced than the aborigines of this world, and the island is lonely overseas, as long as you can defeat the pirates entrenched on it, you can occupy the mountain as the king, of course, the wisdom brain will not easily leave such a huge loophole to the player, the pirates on the island are quite powerful map monsters, and the refresh is extremely fast, it is not easy to occupy a decent island.

Another thing that restricts players from engaging in sea trade is sea ship technology, and the development of navigation technology is one of the most expensive technical branches in this game.

So although far-sighted players have been eyeing the big fat overseas at the beginning, but three years have passed, players can only make some low-level offshore ships, due to the large waves at sea, within a daytime voyage, basically can ensure ninety percent of the safety, but at night they dare not sail, of course, this is a good weather, there are wind and waves on a day, then it is good to stay at home honestly.

Compared to the aborigines in the game, the player's technical achievements at this stage are slightly better than those built by the aborigines, however, this premise is that the shipyards of the aborigines rarely pay attention to the sea ships.

In Jianye's port, Fang Zhiwen saw a large number of sea ships, in fact, all of them came from the player's shipyard, which also shows from one side that the player's internal self-production and self-sales system has fully ensured that the player's shipbuilding industry has gradually formed a virtuous circle, and the shipbuilding technology tree has begun to enter the rising stage.

If the NPC doesn't catch up, this sea will completely belong to the player, and of course Fang Zhiwen can't sit idly by in this situation, so regardless of whether there is interest or not, he will pierce this layer of window paper, and encourage the Jiangdong clan to vigorously attack the player's shipbuilding and maritime career.

Soon, there were unnoticed changes in the land of Jiangdong, first of all, the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion issued a mission to crack down on pirates and pirates, and players who received this task could buy the latest sea ships at a discounted price in the shipyard controlled by the Jianye family.

As for the other change, which only lord players will notice, is that shipwrights and carpenters are becoming more difficult to obtain and difficult to hire from elsewhere in terms of finding and acquiring shipbuilders.

Then there is the chain reaction formed by the suppression of pirates, the price of sea ships has risen, the price of shipbuilding materials has also begun to rise sharply, and finally even began to appear shortage, especially high-quality wood, which can be used on sea ships with a quality of more than 15 wood in Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and even Jizhou Youzhou have begun to be in short supply, and finally simply out of stock.

Perhaps the average player doesn't feel anything, and even makes a lot of money because of the task of exterminating pirates, but for those who are dedicated to maritime affairs, their winter is coming, even if it's a hot summer.

Fighting pirates, in fact, is to fight these players who are bent on the development of maritime affairs, because they want to occupy islands overseas, then they can only use the identity of pirates, this policy of Yangzhou Assassin Mansion, in fact, is to use players to deal with players, and this trick is a conspiracy, if you don't take it, you have to continue, you can't hide if you want to, unless you shrink on the island and don't come out, but there is no food on the island.

As for the latter measure, it is a typical bottom of the kettle, cutting off the talents and materials of the shipbuilding industry, no matter how high the player's technology is, he can't build a ship, although it is impossible to completely monopolize it, but at least it can continue to increase the player's shipbuilding cost, which is already very vicious, not to mention that the bulk supply of shipbuilding materials is actually controlled in the hands of NPCs, and players want to compete with NPCs in an all-round way, and they do not have this condition for the time being.

A policy in Yangzhou has officially opened the curtain of competition between players and NPCs, and players and NPCs will also have conflicts of interest in the past, but this kind of strategic, planned industry-wide suppression has finally made players begin to understand that they can no longer look at this game with the old eyes of the past, otherwise they will really have to be played by the game instead of playing the game.

On the game forum, this thing that became the Yangzhou incident heated up rapidly, and countless bricks called beasts carried out a comprehensive analysis and interpretation, although there will be thousands of truths in thousands of mouths, but all people who have not been crippled in their heads have understood, this game is really different, and the game is known as ' 'One World' doesn't seem to be a lie now, so we can no longer play games with the mentality of using NPCs as backgrounds, but should see these NPCs as natives, and fully communicate and interact with these natives, and even compete with them.

When the turmoil inside and outside the game, the initiator of this matter was wandering around outside Guangling City, and when the search for Sun Jian was unsuccessful, Fang Zhiwen was hitting the Wenchen in Jiangdong, looking for those famous or not-so-famous Jiangdong masterminds, to see if they could kidnap one or two.
