"Brother-in-law, the business on the Yulan River can be said to be very good. The 90,000 boats in our family are owned by three groups of sailors. In fact, there are more than 15,000 boats in the family, but only 9,000 can be sailed each time. The rest

You can't get on the bottom of the ship. This seems to be a magic sign made by the magicians of the Magician's Guild. The four major families also held a meeting and discussed this matter. If anyone gets on the ship too much, the ship will be destroyed.

, In addition, even if the ship that is killed is no longer available, a large amount of money will still have to be paid. This regulation was established thousands of years ago. In fact, the population on both sides has increased countless times. These numbers have long been

It’s not enough, but in order to maintain high freight rates, they still won’t increase the number of ships one by one. Brother-in-law, if you want to use your brain here, I think it’s better to forget it, and the family will not support you.” Yang Chuan

This guy saw things very thoroughly, and he still put forward his own suggestions in response to Li Cong's words.

"I think the four major families should have only stipulated the number and size of the cargo ship, but not how fast the cargo ship can drive, right?" Li Cong said with a smile, this is his loophole, and you are using it.

It's wind power. I'll be using a machine by then, and we'll have plenty of energy blocks. By then your boat will be back once, and we'll probably be back four or five times. We've already done business by ourselves, and you can still make a lot of money.

Really? You all can’t honestly watch us make money.

"This is natural. The speed of this ship is directly related to the natural environment. You can't go as fast as you want. Although the sails and other things on the sailboat have been improved to some extent in recent years, but

The speed is still not very fast. If the current speed of the ship is downwind, it can reach 20 kilometers per hour. You still have to go from the upstream to the downstream. If you go from the downstream, it is estimated to be only 15 kilometers per hour. If the wind is against the wind, it is also 10 kilometers.

It's possible, on average it's 15 kilometers per hour." Yang Chuan, influenced by his elder brother, can be said to have memorized this information very clearly.

Li Cong nodded. Technology on earth has developed very fast now. Such a 500-ton ship can completely become a small ship, and the speed can reach more than 50 knots. When converted into kilometers, it is about 100 kilometers.

kilometers per hour. This speed can be said to be 7 times that of those ships. If the 9,000 ships of the Yang family are calculated in this way, the transportation volume is 63,000 ships, which is more than any other company. And the Yang family

The ship speed is still fast, and many people will transport some things that take time. In this case, their sales will definitely drop. When they see the Yang family making a profit, they will always come to negotiate with them, and then they can

I won’t be so easy to talk to anymore. I haven’t broken any rules to play with you, so you can’t break the rules to restrict me. If you play dirty tricks, I’m not just a freeloader.

"Xiaochuan, what is the annual profit of the family fleet now?" Li Cong asked such a question. If others asked that question, they would definitely not answer it. This is also a family secret, but Li Cong is one of his own

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Last year was a relatively good year in terms of income. There was as much as 1.3 billion in silver. There was not that much in the past. There were also 1 billion in income, but the lowest level was that, brother-in-law. What do you want to do?

?" Yang Chuan asked.

"Of course I have my own ideas. My idea is that I want to contract the family's fleet. If you say that I give the Yang family 1.5 billion silver every year and ask them to contract this to me, what will they think?" Li

Cong said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, do you have a fever? How could you do such a thing? When the year is good, you will earn 1.3 billion silver. If the year is not so good, you will not earn so much. At most, you will only earn 1.3 billion silver.

1 billion, if you act like this, you will lose 200 million in the best time every year, so don’t do stupid things." Yang Chuan said, in his opinion, last year was the best time, on the Magnolia River

There were no major natural disasters, and most of the ships were operating smoothly. It can be said that the 9,000 ships did not rest at all, and most of them worked around the clock throughout the year.

"Of course I don't have a fever. You haven't answered my question yet. Do you think the family will be willing?" Li Cong asked.

"The family will naturally be willing. In fact, there have been rental matters in history. Just like now, the magicians in the Magician's Guild will naturally not take care of these matters. Their operating rights are in the hands of the Mu family.

Yes, the Mu family actually belongs to the overlords on the Yulan River, but behind them is the Magician's Guild, so people don't mention him much. From this contract, there is a small amount of income every year, but brother-in-law, you have to use it

If 1.5 billion silver comes to contract, wouldn't it be a bit of a disadvantage?" Yang Chuan said worriedly. Li Cong is still very satisfied with this guy's performance. At least this guy still thinks about himself. Such a kid needs to be taken care of more or less.

Yes, this guy also knows the fleet very well. It would be good to leave it to him to manage in the future. Those who are idle at home are much easier to manage than those in higher positions.

"You don't need to worry about this. Now my brother-in-law has a good deal for you. This is a banknote of 1 million taels of silver. There are 15 pieces in total. You can help me with this matter when you get home. I can do it within this month.

There can be no results. If you can move around, you can still get this number." Li Cong said with a smile. The Jinyuan offensive is necessary at this time. If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. This is an old saying. Several other

Everyone looked at Yang Chuan with envy. Although the family had not arranged things for them yet, people born in the big family were all human beings. How could they not know that Yang Chuan had walked several steps earlier than them?

Well, if we can cooperate with Li Cong, our cousin-in-law, the future path...

"Brother-in-law, are you serious?" Yang Chuan looked at the banknotes in his hand with disbelief. This was 15 million taels of silver. It was not that he had never seen it before, but he had this money in his hand.

It made me feel a little surprised.

"Of course it is true. How can it be false? The only condition is to let the family contract it to me. The longer they can set the time, the better. I will give them 1.5 billion silver every year. If you can give me this

If you can do it, I will ensure that you enjoy eating spicy food for the rest of your life." Li Cong's fascination for such a child is still very contagious.

"Of course, don't be idle. Each of you has one million silver. You can just help him when you go back. Each of you is also a team. You must have team spirit. Remember, if you succeed,

If so, each of you will have your own share. Brother-in-law, I will never break my promise, by the way. A while ago, didn’t you say that the beautiful women in the Southern Empire were your wish?

I'll give you one." Li Cong said with a smile. Money and beauty have been their favorite since ancient times, especially these young people who have never seen the world. "You two," Li Cong said to Yang Chuan.

Several people held their breaths. This Li Cong's move was so bold. There are three or four people here, each of them has one million silver. This is not included. The pretty girl can be said to be famous.

With women all over the world, Huajiaoyuan is a very famous place in the Southern Empire. To put it bluntly, it is a place dedicated to educating girls. They collected a group of young and beautiful beauties from all over the world and spent eight or ten years there.

After being educated, the girls who come out are all capable of playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are the real beauties in men's hearts. There are only a few of them every year. It is said that they are worth millions of silver each. This requires a lot of money.

What about my relationship? If it doesn't matter, it can't be bought with money. Someone from the previous generation of the Yang family has someone who is his concubine. They have all seen this little aunt. If they want to say that they

It was impossible not to envy that uncle in their hearts, but soon they had nothing to envy. They had it themselves.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. If we can't handle this matter, it will be really useless. But we must honor what brother-in-law said." Yang Hao is now more active than Yang Chuan. This kid also likes flowers the most.

Hua Jiaomei is beautiful. In the past, I didn’t have that condition. The distance from Hua Jiaomei was really too far. Now it’s not that far away. I have a chance to realize this wish. If I can’t seize it,

If you live there, you will be a fool.

"How could my brother-in-law take advantage of you little brats? Well, stop talking. The guy on the stage is about to start. He has done so many things. Today he is here to watch the blacksmith's performance." Li

Cong said with a smile, but he could tell that these people no longer had the intention to watch this here. With Yang Chuan at heart, they had already begun to discuss how to get the family to accept this condition. They all

The direct descendants of the Yang family are different from the Yang Guang who went to Jiangning City last time. Yang Guang could only climb up slowly from below, but they are different. If they become adults, they will have the same fate.

If things happen to him, they won't be too uncomfortable. It's just that the opportunity given to them by Li Cong can make them rise even more. No one will miss this opportunity. Time waits for no one.

What happened on the stage seemed to have nothing to do with these guys, but Li Cong watched it with great interest. The blacksmith on the stage was pretty good, and the Ouyang family's forger didn't let it go either.

People are disappointed. After more than three hours of forging, this guy made a good weapon that can be used by seventh-level warriors. Li Cong has also initially mastered some of the steps of this forging, and he has to master it well.

Those who polish their own materials slowly make the entire material very small in the iron furnace. The essence in between is what is needed to make weapons. The rest can be said to be unnecessary, and then it is done again

After building it over and over, Li Cong found that their furnace fires were not very sufficient. If a fire magician came, he could definitely build it in an hour, and he could even build two or three at the same time.

Li Cong doesn't have time for the above now. If he has time in the future, he will definitely try it.

"I asked you, what's going on with the discussion? You spent so much money to come in and watch someone else's forging, but why didn't any of you raise your eyes?" The people had almost left, and Li Cong was still thinking about it.

As for the action just now, I see the brothers-in-law are still discussing it. These guys have been discussing it for several hours. Their whispers make the people around them very uncomfortable, but seeing them

They are all members of the Yang family. Besides, Li Cong's identity has basically been exposed. With such a brother-in-law taking care of them, whoever dares to warm up to them is just unlucky. Why are they sitting here?

I've been around, and I haven't seen that the organizers of the conference don't dare to come over and talk. I'd better stop looking for that person.

"Brother-in-law, if you have something to do, just go out first. We still have our own things to do. Otherwise, we won't be able to earn your money. And that pretty girl, please hurry up and prepare it for us. We people have to do things

That's 100% no problem." Yang Chuan hurriedly sent Li Cong out. It would be better not to let this brother-in-law grow up in these matters. None of these boys have any good ideas. At this moment

But you can't ruin your own image. You will have to follow Li Cong in the future. If Li Cong understands this, there will be no chance to use it in the future.

Li Cong could only give a few helpless instructions to the servants who followed them. These people were also considered important disciples of the Yang family. If something happened, he would be implicated to some extent, and Li Cong also stayed behind.

He killed several of his own people, and now the guards around Li Cong are all seventh-level warriors. They all came out of that mysterious training camp. There are now more than 3,000 fifth-level warriors (archers) and more than 1,200 sixth-level warriors in it.

warrior archers), 400 seventh-level warrior archers). 12 eighth-level warrior archers). As for ninth-level warriors, that is impossible, at least for now, and because of Lu Manjia’s

Medicine, their losses have dropped significantly, otherwise more people would have died.

All of these people only listened to Li Cong's words, and they all knew what Li Cong was doing with his eyes. Such subordinates were really comfortable to use, and each of them understood that they were adapted by the person in front of them.

They don't think about what the boss asks them to do, they just know that they have to do whatever the person in front of them asks them to do.

When he went out, Li Cong met Miss Ouyang Qiu again, but now it was Li Cong who took the initiative to say hello.

"Miss Ouyang, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon. I really didn't expect that the blacksmith of your Ouyang family would be so powerful. In the blink of an eye, a piece of iron turned into a good weapon. It's really good. I'm very happy.

"I want to become a blacksmith. I wonder if Miss Ouyang can ask me to come and watch her work one day?" Li Cong said with a smile. He was telling the truth. He really wanted to see how the masters forged.

Yes, it certainly didn't help him at all, but his expression doesn't seem to be very good now.

"There's a chance." Now it was Ouyang Qiu who didn't show much interest in Li Cong. This was also normal. What Li Cong did just now made things difficult for him. He couldn't forget it in a short time. Li Cong

I have seen a lot of things like this, and I have seen a lot of girls like this. At least I can tell who this person is with just one sentence.

"By the way, Mr. Cao, I forgot to tell you. It's not easy to take advantage of the Mu family. I don't think the meal tonight was that delicious." The woman didn't forget to give Li Cong a few words before leaving.

If you don't feel comfortable.

"Haha, I'm prepared for that. In fact, maybe you don't know me very well. I'm the most comfortable with such uncomfortable meals. To be honest, I don't feel comfortable with those very comfortable meals.

What do you want to eat? Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with this answer? Also, if you are willing to cooperate with me now, I think you may not be so disadvantaged in a few months, otherwise you will have to think about it next time

It's not that simple to cooperate with me." Li Cong said with a smile, and this is really the case. The Ouyang family really missed an opportunity. In fact, it was not just the Ouyang family. In the past, as long as it was with Li Cong

Those who cooperate will make a lot of money, but those who don't cooperate will only cry.

Ouyang Qiu didn't say anything, but looked at Li Cong angrily, and then led his entourage out. In her opinion, the transportation business on the Yulan River has not changed for so many years. This income is of great significance to them.

It may not be that rich for the family, but it is a very stable source of income for the family. If there are no special circumstances, it is estimated that the family will never touch this place. Many people understand this very well.

She now also thinks that she was right to refuse what Li Cong refused, otherwise Li Cong would not know how arrogant he would be.

After Li Cong went out, because there was no one to take him around for a walk, he could only go back to where he lived. Because of the real estate on the earth, Li Cong developed a habit of going to a place.

When he was young, he would definitely buy a house and land for himself. This is also a habit. No, Li Cong bought a not very big three-in house in this place, and bought about 500 hectares of land. This house is estimated to be

I have lived here this time. I don’t know when I will come here to live in the future, but everything here must be prepared. Even if it is a stronghold of my own intelligence agency, the 500-meter land can have 30,000 people every year.
