[Can you catch thousands of kilograms in one net?]
Upon hearing this, Song Yuming could no longer remain calm. This wasn't just a few thousand kilograms of fish; it was clearly real gold and silver!
Meat is not cheap in Great Ning, and fish is even more expensive.
Such a large sum of money, weighing several thousand or tens of thousands of kilograms, is an astronomical amount. Who could resist such temptation?
He said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then let's give it a try. I'll personally give you ten fishing boats, and the family will contribute another fifty. What do you think?"
It's just a boat anyway. Although they don't have many warships, it's easy for them to get fishing boats.
The fish are all readily available; it's a completely risk-free business, so there's no reason not to give it a try.
These fishing boats will go first to test the waters. If the results are as Song Huizu described, then it will be necessary to take real action.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Song Huizu's eyes lit up. With ten fishing boats plus the ten he had acquired, he could finally put his skills to good use.
Although the route to the Western Regions can be profitable, it also carries considerable risks. He was tricked by the Shachi Kingdom last time; it's very dangerous there.
Now that the Prince of Xiliang is vouching for us on the ocean, there's no reason for us not to go.
Although the Song Clan is not weak in Ningchuan Commandery, they rank outside the top ten in the entire north, and even further back in Great Ning. If they want to gain enough benefits, they have to fight for it.
And this time, it wasn't just the Song Clan who were tempted; several other families were also interested.
Wuning Commandery!
Having resisted yesterday's temptation, Wang Yunze could no longer contain himself and contacted many people overnight, while also beginning to recruit qualified fishermen.
However, compared to the Xiliang activity in Xiliang, he remained much more low-key.
The relationship between Xiliang and Great Ning is quite sensitive right now, and he doesn't want to be targeted by Li Anlan, so it's better to keep a low profile.
"Sir, several companies have already expressed interest, and they've delivered the money and supplies today." His steward grinned as he looked at the ledger in front of him.
They've already made money before even setting off!
Who else!
Wang Yunze glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, don't act like you've never seen anything like this before. My Wang Clan is no ordinary family. What's a little bit of money to us!"
He didn't care about such a small amount of money; what he valued was the lucrative path of ocean fishing. He might not care about a small amount, but the continuous flow of wealth was a given.
Forehead!
The steward's lips twitched; he resigned himself to his bad luck, realizing he'd only made things worse by trying to flatter someone.
He glanced around and whispered, "Sir, you told me to keep an eye on the Great Ning River. A number of people came ashore earlier, so I didn't dare disturb them!"
How many came?
Wang Yunze frowned. The other party was only here to rescue people; he had already given them a map. How many more people did they need? Were these people planning something?
"There are at least one or two thousand people, all dressed in civilian clothes, but they all look quite intimidating!" the butler explained in a low voice.
puff!
Wang Yunze spat out his tea, exclaiming, "No way! They're bringing over two thousand people? This Net organization is just too outrageous!"
Oh no, this is probably going to cause trouble.
Everyone says that Lin Yi, the Prince of Xiliang, is very protective of his own. Is he really planning to attack the city with only two thousand men? That would be far too exaggerated.
He gritted his teeth and ordered, "No visitors today. Have all the family guards patrol the courtyard. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I'm unwell and bedridden!"
Something's definitely going to happen today. A wise person avoids dangerous situations; it's best not to go and risk your life.
"I understand!"
The butler nodded. He knew his master's character well; he was steady and cautious, and it was absolutely impossible for him to go out for such a thing.
The entire Wuning Commandery remained peaceful until nightfall, which made Wang Yunze wonder if he had guessed wrong.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a loud bang in the distance, as if the entire sky had exploded. The sound spread throughout Wuning Commandery, and the tremors could even be felt here.
Holy crap!
The butler's face turned green, and he muttered, "Could this have been done by those people today? This is way too outrageous!"
What on earth is causing this earthquake?
"That's a voice from the prison. It must be someone from the Net. We shouldn't get involved in this; the Prefect will handle it." Wang Yunze immediately recognized the direction and said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, shouts of battle soon followed, but they only lasted a few minutes before ending abruptly.
The outside suddenly became chaotic and noisy, waking many people who had just fallen asleep. Wang Yunze had no intention of going out; he didn't want to become the next target, so he decided not to go out and invite trouble.
It wasn't until Li Ke personally visited the Wang Clan that they were able to get their door open.
Looking at Wang Yunze's pale face, Li Ke n't help but frown slightly. This guy's illness was too coincidental.
He sneered, "Chief Secretary Wang, I heard you weren't feeling well, so I didn't bother you earlier. Now that the enemy is gone, are you feeling better?"
This whole thing is definitely related to this guy, otherwise why would he keep the door tightly shut? He's clearly acting out of a guilty conscience.
"Cough cough!"
Wang Yunze coughed twice and said weakly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Prefect. I must have caught a cold last night. I took some medicine earlier and I'm much better now!"
"Then come with me. The prison has been breached, and everyone inside has been released. This time, neither of us can escape responsibility! You'd better pray that this has nothing to do with you!" Li Ke glanced at him, her tone leaving no room for refusal.
Forehead!
Damn it!
Wang Yunze sighed and had no choice but to agree. He said to the steward, "Steward, bring all our servants and see if they can help. I'm not feeling well today, otherwise I could have helped immediately."
He was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Ke. It was just about saving a few people; why did he have to call him over? Wasn't this a waste of time?
It's no big deal, just a Net. Don't make it sound like the sky is falling.
They took 50% of my profits yesterday, and now they're acting all high and mighty.
Holy crap!
The two arrived at the scene quickly. Under the torchlight, they looked at the prison. Wang Yunze turned pale and stared in disbelief at the prison in front of him.
"Such a big wall, how could it just disappear like that?"
The once sturdy walls, the best option for isolating prisoners, have vanished, leaving only rubble on the ground. What happened?
What kind of attack caused this to happen?
"My God, the walls are all gone! Who are these people?"
The butler swallowed hard, his body trembling slightly. He instinctively took a few steps back, sensing something was terribly dangerous.
He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't been discovered that morning; otherwise, he probably would be dead by now.
