Later generations of Tianjin Fang Zhiwen also regretted not to go, from this, Fang Zhiwen felt very ashamed, I have lived in the era of extremely convenient transportation for more than 20 years, and the number of cities I have been to with a slap is not enough, but in this era of extremely inconvenient transportation, Fang Zhiwen sat on horseback, wasted a few months of work, and went around half of China, this situation is really obscure!

Tianjin should not be the Qinghe estuary today, and the Haihe River in this era seems to be more open.

This is Old Man Lin's, he thinks that Tianjin in the future is in a more easterly place, but Tianjin is still a muddy tidal flat, of course, these words are all from him and Xiangxiang, Fang Zhiwen doesn't know.

Along the coast of the Bohai Sea, Fang Zhiwen and his entourage took five days to walk from Linzi to the mouth of the Qinghe River, this time if it was due to the rather barren road, at the end of the day Fang Zhiwen was extremely puzzled, in the plains after leaving the Leling Kingdom, there was no decent city, except for the scattered farms, which was nearly more than 800 miles away, there was only a third-level town Zhangwu, that is, the county seat of the system.

After a trip to the field, I found that due to the diversion of the Yellow River estuary, most of the coastal areas of Bohai County are wide tidal flats that cannot be used, so a sparsely populated scene has been formed.

Even if the geographical status of Bohai County is good, there is no system city as a fulcrum, the player's rights still can't be developed, if you really want to develop here, then you have to occupy the mountain as the king, so, in Bohai County, big horse thieves and bandits are rampant, there are wild monsters brushed out of the system, there are also local NPCs pretending to be bandits, and there are many alien rights, and there are many players who like to play bandits.

It's just that bandits are different from lord players, lord players have full development prospects, but bandits can't, there are too many places where the development of cottages is restricted, and it is difficult to go further after the development of large cottages, unless someone with an official identity comes to incorporate the cottage into villages and towns.

Fang Zhiwen used his official identity to build a village in Linxi at that time, because he did not have the right to adopt at that time, but it was still possible to establish it, originally when Miyun Fortress reached the third-level town, it established the qualifications of four guards, but it was rejected by Liu Yu's request.

That's why Fang Zhiwen thought of exercising this right to establish a guard village in the domain, and then used this flaw to transfer the incomplete village to Xiangxiang, completing the gorgeous transformation of Lin Xicheng, this has to be an act of exploiting loopholes, but I don't know if this kind of behavior can be practiced in the future.

Back to the mouth of the Qing River, there was originally a systematic fishing village here, which provided convenience for the Zhen family to establish a foothold here, and another point is that the carrying capacity of the Qing River is still very good, Fang Zhiwen also once thought about whether to develop the canal system of later generations early, and the water resources of this era seem to be much better than those of later generations, this idea has also been strongly supported by Lin Lao, of course, even if it is to be implemented, it is the Zhen family to incite those big families to do it, and it has little to do with Fang Zhiwen.

The people of the Zhen family are faster than Fang Zhiwen and his party, according to the use of boats from the Qing River, due to the relatively good manpower, when Fang Zhiwen and they arrived at the mouth of the Qing River, the village on the south bank was promoted to a first-class town, and this town was basically bought by the Zhen family, which belongs to the rights of the Zhen family.

In this era, the family's energy and human resources are very fierce, no one else, it is the Mi Zhu Mi family who took refuge in Liu Ranran, and they funded Liu Ranran with 20,000 strong men at one time, this number is terrifying! What's more, the Zhen family, which is more and more cattle than the Mi family, outside the population of Qinghekou Town, more than ninety percent of them are members of the Zhen family.

Seeing tens of thousands of people in full swing, Fang Zhiwen knew that the Zhen family had confirmed the future of maritime trade and would make every effort to build his own maritime trade road, of course, maybe this was also the idea of the Jizhou clan, but now the Zhen family's actions are extremely fast, and before the Jizhou clan did not fully react to the past, the Qinghekou was firmly grasped in his hands, but this is far from enough.

"This is my younger brother Yao, this is Lord Fengning Taishoufang."

Fang Zhiwen looked at the young man in front of him who was only as tall as his nose, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, the civil officials around him seemed to be all old children, and a large number of child laborers were appointed!

Zhen Yao looked at the tall general in front of him with curiosity, and the original nervousness in his heart gradually disappeared, it seems that my lord should not be the kind of person who is difficult to get along with, although from Zhen Yan's letter, he once knew Fang Zhiwen's general temperament, but it was only after meeting him that he really put his mind at ease.

"Yao has seen the lord." Zhen Yao obediently stepped forward to give Fang Zhiwen a slick salute, looking at Zhen Yan's serious expression, Fang Zhiwen knew that this younger brother had been bullied by his elder brother for a long time, but only at these times did Zhen Yan show a very strong side.

"Ding, congratulations on your allegiance to Zhen Yao, your fame, and now your fame." "No need to be polite, so young! At present, we still need to help, come, come out. "Yao will do his best to assist the lord1

"Haha, good, good."

Fang Zhiwen was not in a hurry about Zhen Yao's attributes, he believed that this son from a famous family would not be worse than Sun Ming and others, with the strength of the Zhen family, a talent could be piled up, not to mention that this Zhen Yao was a smart and obedient child at first glance.

With Zhen Yao's introduction, Fang Zhiwen knew that the person in charge here was actually Zhen Yao, although there were many old servants and shopkeepers of the Zhen family to help him, but he could set up Qinghekou Shun awkwardly, and everything seemed to be in order, it was impossible not to help that Zhen Yao had some real skills.

Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but be very interested in this child laborer who was about the same age as Tian Chou.

"Yes, Zhen Xun quietly couldn't imagine that she could be on her own anymore, and this Qinghekou is the touchstone! Not bad 1

"The lord has saved a lot, in fact, this is also due to the assistance of many old people, and these people are all Zhuang households of the Zhen family, so they can be like an arm, and Yao Yao does not dare to monopolize the credit." "Well, not arrogant! By the way, Zhen Yao doesn't have words? "Yao has not yet reached the crown, and the elders have not given words. 、，

"Oh, it's me who was rude, Zhen family, abide by etiquette." Fang Zhiwen was a little embarrassed, there are indeed many people who have words at this time, but none of these people are portals, and the wealthy families will only be given words by the elders after they have done the crown ceremony, Fang Zhiwen is a little offended by asking this.

Zhen Ergongzi smiled a little playfully in peace, he knew Fang Zhiwen very well, a person who was born in a military army, and his understanding of the world and etiquette was very limited, this is the weakness that Zhen Ergongzi found in Fang Zhiwen is not a weakness.

However, Zhen Ergongzi didn't care about this, as a member of the clan, he once had an in-depth view of the darkness and arrogance of the clan, so if Fang Zhiwen was also such a person, he would be able to distance himself from Fang Zhiwen.

"Hehe, okay, these things don't understand anything, it's just a custom." Fang Zhiwen smiled a little embarrassedly, put aside this matter, and looked at everyone present with a straight expression, now there are Xiangxiang, Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao, Yuwen Boyan and Fang Zhiwen, and Old Man Lin was all excluded from this meeting.

After sorting out his thoughts, Fang Zhiwen gradually said: "Zhen Gongzi, Qinghekou is the starting point of the sea route, and it is also the essence of the Qinghe route, the Zhen family manages the money for the Jizhou family, this Qinghekou will inevitably attract the attention of the Jizhou family in the future, how does the Zhen family want to maintain control of the Qinghekou?" Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, frowned, Zhen Yao looked at the lord, he had also thought about this achievement for a long time, it was actually very difficult for the Zhen family to monopolize Qinghekou, but it was not difficult to maintain a certain status in Qinghekou, but he also understood that the status without strength was actually like a tower of sand, and it would fall down if it was touched.

But how to have this strength, wearing it is the army, the Zhen family has been trying to pursue the official identity for a long time, but it is always interfered with, the purpose of this is self-evident, so in addition to a certain scale of the sī army, the Zhen family has no strength that can be put on the bright side, that is, as long as the opponent is under official pressure, whether it is forcibly occupied, or perhaps gradually encroached, Qinghekou will be someone else's wedding dress sooner or later.

Zhen Ergongzi couldn't figure it out, shook his head in distress, and suddenly saw the corners of Fang Zhiwen's smiling mouth, and couldn't help but suddenly open up: "I'm stupid, I don't know how to keep Qinghekou, but Lord Fang must have prejudices, can you refer to it?" Fang Zhiwen smiled, glanced at Zhou Tai meaningfully, and said: "Zhen Gongzi will find a shortcut, yes, I have some plans, I want to negotiate with you tomorrow to see if this method is feasible." Zhen Yao looked at the lord with some excitement, Zhen Ergongzi smiled proudly, and Xiangxiang glanced at everyone with a little arrogance, as if it was her who had the idea instead of Fang Zhiwen.

"My lord, please speak, I'll listen to you, hehe." Zhen Er Gongzi smiled and arched his hand.

"Actually, this matter is very complicated, the only way to keep Qinghekou is to build an army, I really can't think of any strength other than the army that can make Qinghekou firmly controlled under the Zhen family." Zhen Yao blinked in confusion and asked, "Lord, the Zhen family doesn't have a suitable official position!"

Do you want to do it now? ”

Zhiwen shook his head: "Assuming that it can be operated, the Zhen family has already obtained it, since there is no legal official position, then we might as well learn from the cottages we saw along the road." "Is it to control the horse thief, no, in the name of the fake horse thief?" Zhen Ergongzi's eyes lit up, this attention to the Zhen family may not have been used, but the scale of the thief's village is an achievement, and the other is that it must also face an official blow, once it is found to be related to the Zhen family, there are still many troubles ahead, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But now compared with the huge benefits that Qinghekou will bring, the cost of raising thieves has suddenly become lower, this is the blind spot formed by the ideological inertia of the Zhen family, and Fang Zhiwen saw at a glance that this method was feasible.

"No, not a horse thief, but a pirate, and Island 1

1 Zhen Ergongzi couldn't help but exclaim, and turned his gaze to Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai's face was once red with excitement, he knew that his time had come, and he thought that he was going to gallop on the grassland at present, and he was a little regretful, but he didn't expect that the lord actually arranged such an opportunity for me
