These seven families are the seven largest families entrenched in the three plains. The land directly controlled by the seven families is close to one million acres, accounting for one-eighth of the entire Fujian. If the land they can influence is included, it can reach the entire Fujian.

A quarter of Fujian.

This does not include the mining and other industries controlled by them.

It can be said that in the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, which was mainly based on agriculture, these seven families were the small group of people entrenched at the top of the entire Fujian, and could effectively affect the economic and social stability of the entire Fujian.

Of course, this is before the rise of Wang Xuan. Now, the richest and most influential person in Fujian is Mr. Wang Xuan and only Mr. Wang.

Wang Xuan has gone beyond the normal category and stands at the top of everyone, with the former big families below him.

After all, the benefits that land can produce simply cannot be compared with industry.

Not to mention anything else, the annual profits generated by those two iron mines and steel plants alone are almost comparable to the profits generated by the seven major families' millions of acres of land.

What's more, Wang Xuan also controls the largest port city in Fujian.

Of course, Wang Xuan has never underestimated these big families. After all, the cultivated land area he controls is too large, and the annual grain production needs to feed one-eighth of the population. Even he is not willing to easily provoke these seven big families.

.

Therefore, when he first established the 'Marine Industry Association', Wang Xuan deliberately bypassed them and chose a few families that were a little bit inferior to them.

Otherwise, with their own background, once these seven companies are allowed to join the salt industry and maritime trade, they will inevitably explode quickly. Wang Xuan does not want to cultivate a few behemoths to cause trouble for him.

It can be said that Wang Xuan has always been wary of several big families. Of course, the big families themselves can also feel the hostility between them. After all, Wang Xuan almost never involves them in all his business. Isn't this obvious enough?

?

Moreover, some of the families supported by Wang Xuan have been trying to catch up with them in the past two years. After all, they are rich!

"Ahem." The head of the Lin family coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "I have called everyone here today. I believe everyone knows the reason. Recently, we have been having trouble with Japanese pirates in Fujian."

"Huh!" The head of the Wang family snorted coldly, and the fat on his face trembled a few times, "Isn't it the proper intention to cause trouble with Japanese pirates? I really think we don't know how profitable sea trade is, but those families in Jiangnan are easy to deal with.

Yes, the court couldn't do anything to them. These guys rushed out as soon as Wang Xuan encouraged them. It would be strange if they didn't cause trouble with Japanese pirates!"

"Tell me, who wins and who loses this time?"

"It must be those large merchants in Ningbo. After all, these families have deep foundations and cannot be resisted by these new entrants. Besides, the news that came back recently said that these guys can't bear the heavy losses."

"I don't think so. According to what I know, these guys have gone to find Wang Xuan together and are planning to ask Wang Xuan to take action against those Zhejiang people."

After saying this, the room immediately fell into silence, and a group of people frowned and stopped talking. Although they didn't know how much strength Wang Xuan had, they didn't believe it if he said that Wang Xuan's physical strength was not as good as those maritime merchants.

The two mines and steel plants alone employ tens of thousands of green warriors. These days, green warriors are equivalent to combat power to a certain extent. After all, they can easily form an army by training them.

This does not include the Fuzhou Guards Station controlled by Wang Xuan. Although they do not know the combat strength, they do know that the troops are at full strength, 5,600 people!

Of course, compared to Wang Xuan's industry, this is not much. After all, it takes a large number of manpower to look after the mines and steel plants to maintain public security, not to mention managing the port city.

And Wang Xuan's products also need the help of these maritime merchants to digest them, so it is almost certain that Wang Xuan will take action!

"Well, if he takes action, it's really hard to tell."

"Damn it, you don't know why such a monster suddenly appeared. He is so audacious that even the dignified King of Tang dared to frame him."

"About this matter, there is no sound from the court?" A family head said angrily.

"There is a fart sound, and the raw rice has become cooked rice. Besides, who dares to overturn the case of the Tang Dynasty king? This is a treason case of the feudal king. It is too late for everyone to avoid, and there is no interest. Whoever is full can reach out with his original intention.

Just touch it, if you are framed by your enemy, you won't be able to live with it for a long time."

"Yeah, this is just a pile of shit. No one wants to step on it. Besides, so much land has been taken back for the imperial court. Hehe, the emperor must be very happy privately!"

"Dang Dang Dang."

The head of the Lin family knocked on the table with a dark face, asking everyone to discuss whether it was necessary for everyone to participate in the Japanese pirates, but while they were chatting, the building became tilted...

"The matter of King Tang has passed. It's better not to discuss it anymore. Let's talk about the Japanese pirates."

"The Japanese pirates are causing trouble. They have nothing to do with our seven families. Whether they are good or bad, they will not affect us."

"That's not necessarily the case!" The head of the Lin family tapped his finger on the table, "Don't you think about it, what if Wang Xuan loses this time? What's more, if Wang Xuan dies, what will be the consequences? Everyone has thought about it. ?"
