When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

command room.

"Mr. Jiang, the Shen family is generous enough to feed and clothe the crew and the caravan personnel on board the ship, and see meat every day. Why do you think there are people who are so big-hearted? It's really hard to get out of money. , In more than half a year, a total of 7000 taels was spent, which accounted for nearly half of the income on the account. Why do they want so much money? They don’t have a free body, what is this for?” Captain Xin said with a look of enjoyment. Drinking tea, the meaning in the words couldn't be more obvious, obviously he disagrees with this matter very much.

Mate Jiang felt terrified when he thought of what happened that day. Thanks to Captain Xin's lack of such delusions, the entire fleet management staff escaped. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what kind of situation he would be in now.

The temptation of sea trade is really great, and the private goods they casually carry around can make a lot of money.

Before Fang Tianlin left, the rules were fixed. Each crew member can carry a limited amount of salute weight. If they exceed the limit, they will have to pay extra. Otherwise, they will be fined if they are found out. Just let it go and don't care.

The crew can live a pretty good life with these aboveboard incomes. Even the sailors at the bottom have accumulated a small amount of money, but compared with the fleet's trading profits, it is nothing. Not worth mentioning.

People like Chief Mate Jiang who don't handle money are ready to move when they see it, not to mention those stewards who are directly in charge of buying and selling goods. The chief mate found it unbelievable.

First Officer Jiang understood that Captain Xin was just asking casually like this, and he didn't sincerely ask him for an answer, so he said casually: "Captain, I reckon that they were killed by the previous master. You and I don't know what kind of big family they are." Clearly, those young masters, especially the female masters, are too easy to fool. Just like this time, if another master with average ability can detect that there is a problem with the accounts? I can't see it. Maybe a deep investigation. Think about it, more than 1 taels have been recorded in the account for more than half a year. What a beautiful result, the masters are too happy, who will care about other things? Can't Guanshi Huang and the others easily pass the test?"

"That's the reason. This group of people is still acting in the same old way even if they are at a disadvantage. When they first took power, they wanted to put it in their pockets. Is something wrong now? Although Master Fang didn't clearly say how to deal with it, but look at it, in the future, Guanshi Huang and others Life will definitely not be easy. This is really a comfortable life, but I have to ask for it. I understand that when I first entered the new master’s house, I have to live with my tail clamped. Fortunately, they don’t even have this kind of city, so I can’t wait to start working. Look at the two masters of the Shen family, are they all muddy?"

"Isn't it? But having said that, the ability of these offenders is not bad, but their character is not very good. I don't know whether the vision of the two masters of the Shen family is good or not." First Mate Jiang He frowned, apparently stumped by his own question.

"Why do you think so much? You should also be vigilant. The new master has sharp eyes, so don't hit the gun. Although Guanshi Huang and the others have saved their lives, the punishment has been delayed, making people panic. Master Fang is a good move!" Captain Xin snapped. Thumbs up.

"Haha, those of us who didn't make mistakes are suspicious. Those stewards who made small mistakes and were let go may be panicked now. I'm afraid that for a long time, they will be more obedient than quails, and they really dare not do anything." Ms. Jiang laughed heartily, and made you feel awkward in front of us boatmen. It's all right now. Master Fang is kind enough to not send him to prison, but the punishment has been pending, which is enough to let him They were terrified for a while, didn't they listen to Master Fang's words, they will be punished for committing crimes in the future!

Time passed by, and the Shen family's fleet had already parted ways with the large fleet of the same company, and the voyage was more than half gone.There was no danger during the journey, but there were strange ships showing their heads from time to time. Although there was no real confrontation, the whole fleet was tense, so Fang Tianlin decided to dock for a few days. By the way, contact the fleet that may travel with you in the near future.

"boom!"

Fang Tianlin heard the sound of cannon fire, but seeing that the people at the pier did not show any signs of panic, he thought there should be no accidents, so he sent someone to inquire.

"My lord, it's the newly developed shore artillery that the navy stationed in Hong Kong has tested before."

"Will all the docks be equipped, or is it here?" Fang Tianlin has been in this world for seven or eight years. This is the first time he has heard such loud gunfire, and he immediately became interested.

"I asked, it was done independently by the military craftsmen here, and there are no other places for the time being."

Fang Tianlin waved his hand and asked people to go down to rest.He began to think about whether this was a normal phenomenon, or whether it was the result of the admiral's diverting resources and ordering the craftsmen to go all out to make it.If it's the former, then it's fine. If it's the latter, isn't there any threat to this port?

Fang Tianlin is not easy to inquire about this kind of confidential matter. When the navy stationed in Hong Kong arbitrarily charges him with a crime, he may still get away. I am afraid that everyone else will be left here.With this taboo, he can only ask people to go to the pier to see if they can get useful information.

Izumo Port is far away from the border, and only one prefecture is separated from Yunzhou Port. It is the most prosperous port in the southeast coast except Yunzhou Port.There are a lot of foreigners coming and going here, and the foundation of the port is based on this. Unlike the local commerce and trade in Yunzhou Port, which is also prosperous, most of the Jingchao goods that appear here will be shipped to various foreign countries. It can be said that the Jingchao is the largest. import and export overseas trade port.

Compared with Izumo Port, Yanzhou Port is much worse.

Fang Tianlin stayed here for a few days, delivered some goods, bought some goods, replenished fresh water, but the fleet going north couldn't be found for a while, he was not in a hurry, decided to wait a few more days, safety first, he I don't want to come out vertically, and finally go back sideways.

"Boss, we're in Hong Kong."

"You also know what the master ordered. When you get off the ship, send someone to the pier to inquire. If you have any news, report it to me immediately."

"Yes, Manager."

Seeing Guanshi Wan's back disappearing into the cabin, Guanshi Qian narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man asked him to inquire about the Shen family, and he also knew something about it, but it was a businessman that Master An San made friends with. How could this matter be entrusted to his family? Master's name?

If he couldn't figure it out, Guan Qian didn't think about it either.The masters see far, which is not comparable to the chief steward of a mere fleet like him, so he doesn't bother with it.

******

"Master, someone is asking about our whereabouts." Wei Xiaodong used to have a sense of presence, but since Fang Tianlin planned to train him to be an intelligence officer and inspector, he has slowly moved closer to an invisible person.He was mixed among the guards, not conspicuous at all, and most people in the fleet probably didn't have much impression of him.

"Do you know who it is?" Fang Tianlin's eyes flashed with interest.He has been away from Yunzhou City for more than a year, and I'm afraid I can count on my fingers the number of people who still care about him.

"settle down."

"The one in Yunzhou City?"

"Ah."

Fang Tianlin pondered for a moment, and said: "We can't hide the news about us in Izumo Port, you go to find out the purpose of Anjia, don't cross the line, if you can't ask, it's fine, anyway, no matter what the purpose of Anjia is, we can't avoid it. "

"Okay, boss." Wei Xiaodong stabbed and disappeared.

This time Fang Tianlin didn't wait for the news, he had a lot of good things in his hands, so why don't we wait any longer?

This is Fang Tianlin's first visit to Izumo Port. No one recognized him, so he only changed his description a little, and swaggered to the pier.His five senses were much sharper than ordinary people, and he soon found a little steward of the An family who was inquiring about the news of the Shen family.

When Fang Tianlin passed the man by mistake, he glued a small bug under the man's collar without anyone noticing.Afterwards, he followed that person until the steward entered the inn where he was staying, and then asked for an ordinary room. After closing the door tightly, he turned on the receiver and began to listen to the steward's conversation.

Although it is a little out of character, he does not go out of his way to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, not to mention that when he is a soldier, he will use whatever means are really effective, so why would he be entangled in these?

Sure enough, he was right to choose this person in charge. Soon, Fang Tianlin roughly understood what was going on.He waited patiently, and when he heard that the steward was going to the inn lobby, he quickly left the guest room, took back the bug, and left the inn without paying the bill.Anyway, he only booked that room for one night, and he would automatically check out when it expired. It was worth spending such a small amount of money to get this news.

Fang Tianlin used extraordinary means to get the correct information so quickly. He didn't expect that Wei Xiaodong also got the general situation, and the information on both sides was almost the same.

It seems that Wei Xiaodong is right to enter this line of work, he really has the talent in this area.That's right, Wei Xiaodong has been in the market all year round since he was a child, and his ability to observe words and emotions is indeed unmatched by ordinary people.

The Shen family's whereabouts are not secretive, and it is not difficult for the An family to find out about them.In fact, they were only a little later than Wei Xiaodong noticed the An family's actions, but due to poor communication, they failed to recall everyone in time, which allowed Fang Tianlin to take advantage of the loophole.Otherwise, after he got the news from Wei Xiaodong and went out to take action, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find someone, and he would have to inquire carefully before he could take action.

The news that the Shen family was looking for the fleet to go north together also reached the An family, and a post was handed to Fang Tianlin in the middle of the afternoon, and An family's steward Qian asked him to go to the teahouse to discuss matters tomorrow morning.

Fang Tianlin had no scruples, so he responded readily, and the reply was delivered to Steward Qian on the same day.

"This person has a big heart. He didn't check the situation. He sent the post before he sent it, and followed up after the reply." The corner of Wan Guanshi's mouth twitched, and he became more and more confused about what Master An was thinking.

"Perhaps the Shen family is here specially." After reading the post, Manager Qian put the post on the table casually, "What you said is what ordinary people do, and this Shen family may be really unusual."

"Perhaps." Wan Guanshi didn't say any more. This kind of behavior that was in the opposite direction and that people couldn't figure out was really easy to make people feel that they dare not underestimate it. This Shen family is indeed a bit interesting.

In the middle of the next morning, Fang Tianlin went to the appointment on time, without Wei Xiaodong's eyes, and only brought two guards who didn't look so mighty.

"This is Mr. Fang, right?" As soon as Fang Tianlin was led into the private room by the waiter, a man who looked a little rich stood up and greeted him.

Fang Tianlin nodded: "Master Qian is in charge?"

"Hehe, I just sit down. I wonder what kind of tea Mr. Fang eats?" Steward Qian personally handed over the tea and snack list to Fang Tianlin, giving Fang Tianlin enough face.

Fang Tianlin was not polite, and ordered directly: "Here is a pot of silver needles and a plate of dark plums. The money is in charge, so don't you avoid this tea?"

"That's not true, it's just that people like to drink strong tea when they are old, but it's not bad to eat with Master Fang for a change of taste." Manager Qian was also not flattering, and directly stated his preferences, expressing his willingness to try something new, and Do the best of the host's hospitality.Afterwards, according to Fang Tianlin's choice, he ordered a few plates of snacks.

The two people come and go, and in these seemingly meaningless conversations, each shows what position they put each other and themselves in.Then the conversation will be convenient, and there will be no more embarrassing situations.

The refreshments came soon, and the two chatted for a while before getting to the point.

Fang Tianlin was not in a hurry at all, he could do whatever he wanted, since Manager Qian was in charge today, he would be the first to speak out.

Seeing this, Manager Qian no longer gave way, and directly explained the purpose of coming: "Master Fang, I heard that you are looking for the fleet traveling north. If you don't mind waiting a few more days, why don't you come with me?"

"Okay, I'm exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much!" That was the purpose of his visit today, how could Fang Tianlin be polite?After pretending to think for a while, he responded quickly.

"Then it's settled. I'll let someone notify you of the time of departure. I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you. Master Fang is free." Manager Qian is a busy man, and when he saw that things were done, he got up and left , stopped before going out, and said, "The fleet under my hand often goes out of the route of Yungang, if Master Fang wants to go to the city, you can ask someone to tell me, and I will send you a guide. "

"Okay, if necessary, I will find someone who is in charge of money." Fang Tianlin responded with a smile.Sure enough, it was the old fox who was able to be the chief steward of a fleet. He was so considerate when he considered things. He didn't directly push people, but let him choose. This kind of attitude will naturally make people feel good.

Manager Qian had never met Fang Tianlin before, and his knowledge of him was limited to hearsay. Originally, he was still hesitating whether to appear in person, but his status was not low. Many ordinary merchants would be polite when they saw him. When he actually saw Master Fang, he realized that he had made the right decision.

Steward Qian can sit in this position, and he has a good eye for people. This Mr. Fang is the best person to deal with, but also the most difficult kind of person to deal with. .

As long as you don't get into the Shen family's mind, everything is easy to talk about. If you have a wrong mind about the Shen family, it will be useless to be soft.

Now that he took on this task, Manager Qian must have inquired about it. The Shen family has long been investigated by Master An San, but it is still a mystery to this day that the Shen family can rise so quickly.If it is said that the Shen family's prosperity is completely unreasonable, that is not true, but if it is normal, not to mention Master An San, even the chief executive Qian does not believe it.

The Shen family started to make a fortune after Mr. Fang entered the house for a while. The problem is that Mr. Fang seemed to be so poor that he was about to starve to death. Action, this is really puzzling.

The An family has not yet been able to determine who the Shen family relied on to make their fortune, but judging from various phenomena, it is very likely that it is Master Fang.

Regardless of whether the Shen family's restaurant and workshop were Master Fang's idea, or the contributions made by the ancestral secret recipes accumulated by the Shen family over several lifetimes, there are too many things in it that make it hard to understand.If it is necessary to say that this matter is completely impossible, the Shen family can easily find many reasons to refute it.

The situation in Fuyang County is complicated now, who would go there to find out the root cause of such a trivial matter?Even An's family, whose hometown is over there, is unwilling to make a big move on this matter. After all, Shen's family runs all food shops, so what if we find out?

After Manager Qian left, Fang Tianlin was not in a hurry to leave, and sipped tea for a while before stepping out of the teahouse.
