The azure sea stretched endlessly, and the sky was bright and clear. Over a dozen transport ships that had set sail from Xiacheng Dock finally arrived at Fu Wang Port, having faced numerous challenges along the way.
Though it was called a port, it was merely a rudimentary docking point. On the shore stood rough wooden stakes for mooring the ships, with planks extending onto the land to allow passengers to disembark. There were no other facilities in sight. Compared to Xiacheng Dock, this place felt like a different world, making those on board question whether they had come to the wrong location.
Is this really the legendary Fortune Land? Did we come to the wrong place? It shouldn’t be; the Sea Chart sold by His Highness had guided us correctly all along. How could the final destination be wrong?
Surrounded by inquiries was Nian Ren, known as Yu, who was said to have been named after his mother dreamed of a small island at sea during her pregnancy. Yu was one of the Four Great Salt Merchants from Jiangzhou, a family of immense wealth.
For the affluent Yanshang, what they desired most was a way to survive. Indeed, a way to survive. Despite their vast riches and extravagant lifestyles—each meal featuring delicacies like pearl chicken or deer antler duck—many envied them. Yet they lived in constant fear, knowing that their outwardly lavish existence could easily mask hidden dangers, always fearing being taken advantage of.
Wealth may indeed open doors, but what if those above them grew greedy? In the face of higher powers, their hired thugs and gangs were nothing but a joke. Even with numerous court officials as allies, they could not provide Yanshang with any real sense of security.
Did one not see how Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue met his end at the emperor's command without hesitation? In comparison, what were they, the Yanshang?
Fortunately, this anxiety was about to end because the Prince had offered them a way out. Recently, the Da Qian Dynasty had experienced tumultuous changes. First, a prince had mysteriously risen to power through his contributions in Kaihai, crushing the Crown Prince's faction. Then he dragged Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue down with him, leading to Zhao's demise. Ultimately, it was revealed that this fertile Fortune Land had received imperial favor.
The prince was granted overseas nobility and titled Prince of Fortune, with his domain being this very Fortune Land.
The land is good land, but there is a shortage of people. In the context of the backwardness of the feudal dynasty, the first thing to do is to drain the population. What's more, the prince is in charge of employing people, can still treat you? In this consideration, not only home, the remaining three families Yanshang also followed closely, bringing people here, home is just the fastest moving family has. Do you think this is the current fiefdom of Jiangzhou that you can be unbridled?
