Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 139 Getting on the Right Track
Cao Ge finally realized what was happening.

"Boss, this... is this the fleet you brought back?"

"You... you only took 300 ships, didn't you? How come you have so many after just one trip?"

There was a mixture of relief and disbelief in Cao Ge's tone.

The dock lighthouse will only detect non-local dock vessels.

Among the migrating fleet, the Heart of Death and 300 ships of the Fool's Wharf Fleet have already been assigned to the dock and will not be detected.

The remaining nearly 2,000 ships will be scanned by the lighthouse and alerted to the docks.

Cao Ge was shocked to find that more than two thousand unknown ships suddenly appeared and approached the Fool's Wharf.

Su Wang responded: "A dock family has moved to Fool's Dock. Most of these extra ships belong to members of this family."

"By the way, I have some good news for you.

There are many highly qualified crew members among these people. It depends on whether you have the ability to recruit them as crew members."

Su Wang briefly explained the origin of the extra fleet and also announced a good news to Cao Ge.

It would be a waste to use these bloodline members of the Horned Eel family only as ship captains.

It would be a better choice to serve as a crew member for fishermen.

Even with the crew qualification potion, perhaps the bloodline degradation of the horned eel family can be solved.

However, whether these fishermen can catch members of the horned eel family depends on their own abilities.

At most, Su Wang would only give them a fair chance of contact, and would not force the members of the horned eel family to follow a fisherman.

After the two sides met up, Cao Ge asked Su Wang with curiosity what happened this time.

The other fishermen also glanced at this extremely spectacular fleet.

After all, they had only seen this kind of fleet of thousands of ships gathered at the domestic docks.

However, I didn't expect that the Fool's Wharf, which was only established not long ago, could have such a large fleet.

When I heard that these fleets were all built up by the boss Wangxin, I was amazed beyond words.

They thought that even if their identities were swapped, they would not be able to achieve the same success as Boss Wangxin.

During this period, dozens of new fishermen who arrived looked at Su Wang with awe.

When the fleet arrives at Fool's Wharf Port,
Su Wang was also very busy.

Firstly, the migrating horned eel family fleet and personnel are registered at the dock.

Secondly, we must deal with the arrangements and accommodation of personnel as soon as possible.

Several residential buildings have also been expanded.

The arrival of a large number of ships has made the docks completely insufficient.

The logistical vessels such as transport ships and fishing boats alone are almost filling up the docks.

When transport ships are not in use, they can only dock in the dock, while fishing boats and warships can take turns docking.

These fishing boats and warships are divided into two groups, responsible for two rounds of patrol work during the day and at night respectively.

Ensure that only half of the ships need to dock at the same time.

Even so, some warships still could not be placed.

Su Wang could only temporarily let some of the crew members live on the warships for a short period of time to ensure that the ships would not drift with the waves.

As for those captured warships, they had no choice but to live on the warships and wait to be redeemed.

Although it violates the principle of "treating prisoners well", it is also something that we have no choice but to do.

They were busy until almost evening, and the horned eel family's migration fleet was finally settled.

After Tia had some free time, she went to find Su Wang.

"Captain, what are your plans for these people of mine?"

As the head of the family, Tia must consider the future of the family.

As the head of the family and a crew member, it was most appropriate for her to come and inquire about the family's subsequent arrangements.

When Su Wang heard Tia's question, he asked back.

"Tia, how do you think we should arrange this?"

Tia couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this.

As the head of the family, she certainly wants the family to maintain a certain degree of autonomy.

But judging from the fact that Su Wang went to great lengths to help her seize the position of head of the family, he undoubtedly wanted the Horned Eel Family to become a driving force for the development of Fool's Wharf.

Tia didn't know how to make a decision.

Seeing that Tia didn't know how to answer, Su Wang chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't ask the Horned Eel Family to contribute all their resources."

"However, the warships and facilities of the Horned Eel family all need to be replaced. I believe you share this idea, right?"

Tia nodded affirmatively upon hearing this.

The warships and ship facilities at Fool's Wharf are far beyond imagination.

Being able to make a replacement is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

After seeing Tia nod, Su Wang continued to add.

"However, the materials needed for this replacement will need to be borne by the Horned Eel Family themselves, and they must be used to protect Fool's Wharf."

Tia nodded again and responded affirmatively.

"That's for sure. The Horned Eel Family is now part of Fool's Wharf, so they will naturally spare no effort to protect it."

Su Wang chuckled.

"It's enough to protect Fool's Wharf.

When I need the fleet, I'll naturally implement a meritorious service reward system. I won't let the Horned Eel family's fleet work for nothing." Not only will the Horned Eel family's fleet, but also the fisherman's fleet and the fleet he has trained will be rewarded according to this system.

Even when training their own fleet captains in the future, they will be able to exchange their merits for various materials and equipment.

At present, free training is just a helpless measure when there is no one available.

For those people that I train in the future, I have to deduct certain merits to make up for everything I have given them in advance.

It is people who control the warships, not mindless consumables like murloc guards.

Therefore, a reasonable system of rewards and punishments can better mobilize people's instinctive drive so that there will be no hidden dangers of slackness in the future.

But when it comes to replacing warships and equipment, Tia can't help but feel a little troubled.

The resources currently brought by the horned eel family,
It is enough to replace some ships and facilities, but these replaced ships and facilities are undoubtedly useless, which is a pity.

When Tia raised this question,

Su Wang pondered for a moment and gave an answer.

"Replacing the warships will take time for now. Let's replace some first."

"As for these unused warships, I think I should be able to find someone to sell them to."

The person Su Wang was thinking of selling to was the lord of Hongzhe Wharf.

The captured 890 warships and more than 1 sailors were captured.
Unless the lord of Red Sting Wharf is crazy, he will definitely come to redeem people and property.

If the Lord of Red Sting Wharf really couldn't bear to part with the supplies, he would be willing to give up so many captains.

Su Wang didn't mind slowly persuading them to surrender and gradually incorporating them into the Fool's Wharf.

This time, nearly a thousand enemy warships were defeated, and the losses were great enough to cause serious damage to Hongzhe Wharf.

At that time, we can sell some ordinary warships at a low price. If the other party is in urgent need of filling the dock capacity, they will most likely be interested.

Even if there are conflicts with Fool's Wharf, the other party will definitely accept the real benefits.

This is also a good opportunity to replace the unused warships in exchange for the materials needed to build new warships.

Even some of the obsolete ordinary ship equipment can be sold off.

After Tia learned that Su Wang had already made arrangements, she stopped asking questions.

She was no longer surprised by the various abnormalities displayed by her magical captain.

The Horned Eel Family is currently under her rule. As long as they don't do anything that harms the interests of Fool's Wharf, Tia believes that she, as the captain, will not treat the Horned Eel Family unfairly.

...

In the next two days,
Fool's Wharf is a scene of prosperity and bustle.

When it comes to planning major events at the dock, Su Wang can do it personally.

But Su Wang couldn't get involved in the small matters between the dock residents, or the various shops, civilian leisure places and the like.

In the previous period, residents were left to do what they wanted without any proper planning.

However, after the arrival of the horned eel family, this type of dock business plan has become much more orderly.

After all, the Horned Eel Family also had some grassroots businesses at the Golden Crocodile Wharf and had ample experience in development planning.

After Tia got Su Wang's approval, the Horned Eel family also dispatched personnel to begin making detailed arrangements and plans for the dock residents.

Some of the industries and shops that are lacking have begun to be planned and built.

Su Wang delegated all of this power.

The reforms that the Horned Eel family brought to the dock residents were undoubtedly a good thing for him.

There have been improvements in both making the terminal appear more orderly and stable, and in terms of additional revenue.

Just to rent the venue, the Horned Eel family paid a lot of resources.

In the future, there will be a certain amount of revenue and tax payments, which will provide the terminal with a foundation for long-term development and resource circulation.

This also made Su Wang sigh,
As expected, planning the dock with the support of his family was much easier than planning it step by step on his own.

...

On the afternoon of the second day after the migration fleet arrived,
Su Wang received the information reported by Cao Ge.

"Boss Wangxin, a fleet of 5 ships just entered the waters south of the dock and has been forced to stop by the patrol fleet."

"They said they were coming from Hongzhe Wharf to negotiate. Boss, do you want to let them come?"

Hearing this news,

A gleam of light flashed in Su Wang's eyes, and he responded immediately.

"Let them come over, this is the God of Wealth."

After hearing this, Cao Ge couldn't help but feel confused.

God of Wealth?
Didn't the other party come here to negotiate? Why did they bring up the God of Wealth?

...

Ended the call with Cao Ge,

Su Wang immediately called Tia and prepared to borrow the house that the Horned Eel family had decorated in the past two days to receive and meet the other party.

Although due to the short time, the outpost built by the horned eel family is not very grand.

But it's better than having no reception venue at all.

Su Wang was also thinking about waiting for the Horned Eel family to decorate their castle and then help him build one.

After all, the dock has now begun to take shape. As the lord of the dock, it would be too shabby if he doesn't even have a place to meet guests.

After receiving Tia's response, Su Wang immediately went to the dock, intending to personally welcome the Lord of Hongzhe Dock.
