They found that in the past few days, the Jiang and Wang families have been very densely moved, and there are many more unfamiliar faces in the house, and there are a lot more foundries and weapons in the Wang family's armory shop, as if they suddenly appeared, and there was no news before.

Moreover, although the Wang family monopolized the weapons industry in Haiyuan City, the number of foundries of the Wang family has always been sufficient, and now there are suddenly so many more, which is a bit unusual, and the Wang family does not have enough ability to sell weapons to other cities, why do they want so many foundries. ”

This is what Xia Ren will get from Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter about the recent situation of the Wang Jiang family.

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"My lord, the Wang family's weapons shop, suddenly there are so many more weapons and foundry divisions, in the case of the saturation of the market in Haiyuan City, there is only one possibility, they have a new market.

But they don't have the ability to spread their business to the surrounding cities, so they must have a secret partner, and it should not be on land, it should be in the East China Sea.

Now the suddenly extra casters and weapons should be from another place where the Wang family secretly forged weapons.

However, why did the Wang family bring those forging masters back to Haiyuan City, isn't this suspicious, unless there is a problem with their secret forging workshop and they have to evacuate these forging masters.

However, they didn't have a safe enough place to arrange these forging masters and weapons, so they could only arrange them to Haiyuan City first. ”

"Well, Mr. Fang and this king think about the same, but the Wang family's secret business partner is in the East China Sea?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"The lord is wise, but the lord may not know very well, the Jiang family was engaged in freight transportation before, so they had a net worth, and now the largest port around it has been transferred to Hailing City, so the Jiang family's business has plummeted.

It should have been at that time that the Wang family fell in love with the Jiang family's cargo ship, so they took the Jiang family under their command and arranged a position as a deputy city lord.

Therefore, relying on the Jiang family's cargo ship, it is still easy for the Wang family to transport weapons overseas. ”

Xia Ren suddenly realized in his heart that the Jiang family had a fleet.

"Then let's do it, Mr. Fang, you can explore the whereabouts of the Jiang family's fleet and the source of the goods, even if they hide deeply, there are clues to be found, and find out their other stronghold as soon as possible."

When they sell their goods overseas, they must have colluded with pirates, and this king cannot keep such people. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to be so troublesome, with the strength of his subordinates, solving the Wang Jiang family is like killing chickens, and the two of them have cultivated to the highest level of innate ninefold, which is the same as ants to his subordinates." ”

Xia Ren's face turned dark, he was born with an ant, what is that king, a little ant.

"Well, what Mr. Fang said is reasonable, but this king has just arrived, and he doesn't want to make a big move, you first find evidence that Wang Jiang and his family colluded with pirates, so that this king can also kill chickens and monkeys, and there will be people in the province who don't know the current affairs in the future.

However, when Mr. Fang collects evidence, when he encounters resistance, the means can be a little tougher, as long as he doesn't make too much trouble, and this king must quickly solve the trouble in Haiyuan City. ”

It's been a few days, Xia Ren couldn't help it, if he didn't have enough strength in his hands, he would have taken back the rights of the city lord a long time ago, and now that the thugs are here, how can he allow others to continue to jump.

After instructing Fang Xuanling, Xia Ren said to Zhou Tai and Zhou Cang: "Youping, you are proficient in water warfare, but this king does not have enough troops and warships at present, so I still need to wronged you to stay in the city lord's mansion temporarily, and when the troops are sufficient in the future, you also need to train."

As for Yuanfu, follow me to protect me first. ”

Zhou Cang gladly accepted the order.

However, Zhou Tai hesitated a little, and then said solemnly to Xia Ren: "Lord, the last general wants to go home first, the last general's identity in this life is the son of the Zhou family in Linhai County, and he has been out for 13 years and has not returned, and now he should go back to see."

Moreover, the Zhou family is a shipbuilding family, and the last general also hopes to go back to persuade the Zhou family to serve the lord, and it will be much easier for the lord to build ships in the future. ”

"Can Youping be sure to persuade the Zhou family to join me?"

"Don't worry, the last general is the eldest son of the Zhou family, and it is no surprise that he will be the next head of the Zhou family, plus the strength of the last general, I believe that no one in the Zhou family will object, and it will be beneficial and harmless for the Zhou family. ”

Xia Ren was immediately overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, Youping, this king will never treat his own people badly, and he will definitely not let the Zhou family suffer, you just have to go." ”

Originally, Xia Ren was still worried, if after the troops were sufficient, when he could train the navy, but there were not enough warships, then what should he do, but he didn't expect Zhou Tai to give him a surprise.

The reason why Xia Ren wanted to train the navy, not the army, was because he was now in Donghai Prefecture, there was no war, and he couldn't train soldiers at all, only pirates at sea could let him train soldiers.

In addition, Xia Ren also wanted to transport the soldiers to the island by ship for secret training, and then send them to the endless mountains in the south through the East China Sea to fight the barbarians.

Xia Ren also sent people to collect some overseas situations in the past few days, although Donghai Prefecture is close to the sea, but people are not enthusiastic about overseas development, many people think that the closer to the center of the mainland, the better development can be.

Generally, only some fishermen in the East China Sea are fishing, and they basically do not leave the coast for more than 300 kilometers. Because 300 kilometers away, the waves will become bigger, there will be **** everywhere, and there will be some sea beasts that will attack the ship. So gradually, people don't travel more than 300 kilometers.

Even some caravans and pirates are within 300 kilometers, and few people know about the situation beyond 300 kilometers.

And Xia Ren set his goal on the sea 300 kilometers away, because Xia Ren found that there was no gap between the heaven and earth aura on the east coast and the central part of the Great Xia Dynasty, indicating that there would definitely be a lot of resources overseas.

As for why no huge resources have been found on the islands within 300 kilometers of the East China Sea, it may be that someone has discovered them, but they have not made a public announcement, or they have long been exploited by their predecessors.

But the problem that currently plagues Xia Ren is that there are no warships of good enough quality, and ordinary warships are simply 300 kilometers away, otherwise those forces that secretly find resources may have already gone to farther places.

I hope that the Zhou family will be able to build a warship that meets the requirements, but the hope is very small, because those forces that secretly discovered the resources on the island will definitely work harder to build higher-quality warships, but so far no one has found this powerful warship.

There may also be forces that have created it, but it is well hidden, but these have nothing to do with Xia Ren, overseas is so big, that bit of resources is simply not worth mentioning.

It seems that I can only try it by lottery, but this kind of krypton gold behavior, Xia Ren has always been not very optimistic.

Then Xia Ren called the people of the City Lord's Mansion in the backyard and introduced them to Fang Xuanling and the three of them, the City Lord's Mansion is now Xia Ren's temporary residence, so all the people inside were brought by Xia Ren from the palace.

"This is Mr. Fang Xuanling, who will be the king's staff in the future, and he will be in charge of the government affairs of the fief in the future, and you all have to obey his orders. ”

Everyone nodded yes, although they didn't know what this Mr. Fang came from, but they were also in the palace, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask, just follow the order.

Fang Xuanling also nodded and smiled at everyone.

"This is General Zhou Taizhou, and the military affairs of the fiefdom in the future will also be in charge of General Zhou first. ”

Zhou Tai nodded expressionlessly.

"And this is General Zhou Cangzhou, who is currently my commander of the guard, responsible for protecting my safety, you must remember not to rush. ”

Zhou Cang scratched his head with a smile.

After that, Xia Ren sent someone to find Shen Mulin, and introduced Fang Xuanling to him, telling him that in the future, Fang Xuanling would be in charge of all the government affairs of the fiefdom, and Shen Mulin would be responsible for assisting.

This is also the reason why Shen Mulin told the truth on Xia Ren's side last time, so Xia Ren was willing to let him follow Fang Xuanling as a deputy first, otherwise he would have already entered Xia Ren's cleanup list.

Shen Mulin was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes suddenly turned red again, and he said to Xia Ren, what is going up the knife mountain, going down to the sea of fire, coming from the water, going from the fire.

Xia Ren was stunned when he heard this.
