I'm afraid no one will believe it if I tell you. After all, the fleet with five surnames and seven hopes is the top card.
As for the fleet that can swallow up five surnames and seven hopes, this level of pirates is not comparable to ordinary street goods. Even Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others are numb, and they can do nothing...
But now, the fleet is divided into small groups and dispatched.
As a result, the ability to deal with ordinary pirates will be greatly reduced. After all, a large fleet itself is similar to a kind of fortress, and now the fortress has been dismantled into a tent.
But Wang Jing and others are not afraid of this situation.
The level of armament of merchant ships with the fifth surname and Qi Wang is still much higher than that of ordinary seagoing ships!
Just because the fleet is split up and there is no scale advantage, it does not mean that it cannot be defeated. Most of the pirates with five surnames and Qi Wang can still deal with it.
This force advantage can still be used and realized by Wu Xing Qi Wang!
And after making such adjustments, Wang Jing and others also discovered something.
The news about pirates plundering a very large fleet this time spread quickly, and the merchants who are currently gathering in the Jiangdong area to make a fortune are panicking.
In this way, it is not just the Five Surnames and Qiwang who have changed the size of the fleet, all merchants must make changes!
If we still play the game of large fleet, wouldn't it be too conspicuous? What if we become the target of that group of mysterious pirates in the future?
In fact, all businessmen cannot escape this problem, so...
Ordinary merchants who gradually began to go out to sea in large groups due to the rampant pirates could only break up the group and return to the previous model of two or three, or even a single ship.
And as a result, the ability of ordinary merchants to resist the "mysterious pirates" is naturally...none.
Just kidding, ordinary merchants can't stand up to the pirates who destroyed a fleet of five surnames and seven Wangs.
but!
Because no one wanted to be targeted by the "mysterious pirate" as a big fish, half of the merchants who were forced to split up the fleet were less able to deal with ordinary pirates!
In other words, after Wang Jing and others calmed down and made some calculations, not only did the force advantage not decrease, but it actually expanded!
The profits will naturally increase... After all, the mysterious pirates appeared, and many merchants who secretly trafficked strange goods to China were frightened and did not dare to go to sea.
As a result, Wu Xing Qi Wang has already monopolized nearly half of the trading of exotic goods from overseas in China.
What is this concept?
Half of the total import trade volume, what kind of business can this scale of business be? It is directly contrary to heaven!
For a while after this, Wang Jing and others lived in a happy and festive atmosphere almost every day.
I have no choice but to collect the rice in tears and receive a soft hand!
but……
Just after reorganizing the fleet, half a month later, one day...
at night.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others were singing, dancing and having a drink in the newly built flower hall of the Su family's mansion in Hangzhou.
There are no other reasons. The first is of course that we have to harvest rice and hemp. We harvest hemp every day, so it is very low-key to celebrate with a drink every once in a while.
The second is that Wang Jing and others ate meat and Su Dashou drank soup. The huge profits from sea trade in the past few months almost doubled all of Su Dashou's assets.
Su Dashou is different from Wang Jing and others. Although they are both from powerful families, Su Dashou is from Jiangdong and his ideas are more flexible than Wang Jing and others.
In short, Li Er has been vigorously encouraging sea trade recently. Most people are guessing what your majesty’s idea is and which ancient book it comes from... But Su Dashou can see that Li Er probably has some conspiracy, and it is a big conspiracy.
, the goal is very ambitious, otherwise it would not be so generous and superimposed, it would be too annoying.
Therefore, unlike Wang Jing and others who allocated a certain proportion of their family assets to engage in maritime trade, Su Dashou directly sold all of his family's land to participate in the trade boom in the South China Sea.
In short, when Su Dashou engages in sea trade, his position or leverage is completely higher than that of Wang Jing and others. So... although the income is still not as good as that of Wang Jing and others, the rate of return is directly higher than that of Wang Jing and others!
In this way, if you look at how happy Wang Jing and Pei Ji's group have been in recent months, you will know that Su Dashou is even more happy when he is harvesting rice!
Naturally, the God of Wealth was even more attentive when it came to entertaining Wang Jing and Pei Ji, the big bosses. Every day, they were thinking of new reasons to feed Wang Jing and others with delicious food, wine, and beauties. The people who waited on Wang Jing and Pei Ji were just like no other.
All forgotten.
These huge profits not only made Su Dashou worship the top group of aristocratic families such as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes more, but he also gradually grew arrogant himself.
After all, now... Hehe, although the status is still not as good as Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others, when it comes to Su Dashou, I feel that the current Su family in Hangzhou has begun to show signs of being comparable to the previous five surnames and Qiwang!
This feeling is no joke. Every time he thinks of this, Su Dashou gets excited to death.
How could this flower hall...the previous flower hall show the level of five surnames and seven looks, and show the magnificence of a first-tier wealthy family?
Although the Five Surnames and Qiwang have now become the first-tier ones, in order to match the reputation of the first-tier famous families, Su Dashou still specially built a flower hall. The level of luxury and sophistication is naturally a completely new upgrade compared to before...
In short, during the recent period, the Su family's mansion in Hangzhou was full of fun, drinking and singing day and night.
Except for the fleet annihilation incident that frightened Wang Jing and others. Of course, this matter has been settled and "turned over"...
But, but... it was only half a month after the fleet was destroyed and Pei Ji proposed to reorganize the size of the fleet.
That night, Wang Jing and others were singing and dancing, drinking wine, when suddenly a servant rushed into the flower hall.
Youdao was inspired by Yu Yang's frown, and he was shocked...
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Su Dashou and the others were singing, dancing and drinking heavily when they were suddenly interrupted by a young boy's voice.
When he turned his head and looked, his face was a little strange. No one reacted for a while, they all thought it was someone else, but then...
The boy ignored the displeased expressions of the masters and reported the matter directly.
If you don't report this kind of thing immediately and decisively, you will have to take the blame if something goes wrong.
"Masters, something happened to the merchant ship again! Not long after we set out to sea this time, we encountered pirates again!"
"Meeted pirates again?"
Wang Jing frowned!
Then he looked at each other with Pei Ji and others.
It is not uncommon for merchant ships to encounter pirates. Among the merchants who are still floating on the ocean, no one will encounter pirates several times at a time. Who is afraid of the other if they have two brushes in their hands?
But he came here specifically to report and was so anxious...
