When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

"Boss, the boat is fine."

"you sure?"

"Ah."

Fang Tianlin didn't ask a third time, and went to pay the balance after confirmation.Other procedures have been completed a long time ago, he only needs to pay the final payment, and this large cargo ship will belong to the Shen family.

"Let's go, anyone who wants to go to the boat to see it comes with me." Shen Jiahe saw Fang Tianlin coming towards him from a distance, and immediately called people who had never been on a sea boat to get on the boat and watch.

"This boat is huge!"

"Yeah, it's taller than the houses in the village!"

"How can one room compare? This boat is at least as high as three rooms."

"What is this? I heard there are bigger ones than this."

"How do you know? Isn't it your first time here at the pier?"

"I heard it from people in the teahouse, but it seems to be an official ship, not a private ship."

……

Most of the people who were so amazed were the members of the Shen family and the villagers of Anyang Village who had a good relationship with the Shen family. It is true that they rarely set foot in Yunzhou Port, and it is normal for them to have little knowledge.If you often walk around the pier, you may have become accustomed to it. Such a person will not only not find the excitement of the ship trial, but may even be a little bored by it.This can happen to any job that has been done for a long time.

The height of the ship is higher than the dock, and the gangway is lowered as soon as the ship docks.Shen Jiahe walked behind the sons to protect them, telling them to be careful when climbing the ladder, falling down is no joke.

Although not many people came to watch the trial voyage of the cargo ship, there were quite a few of them.When Shen Jiahe stood on the gangway and looked down, the bottom was densely packed.It's not that the number of people is really as exaggerated as it seems, it's just an illusion of people.The main reason for this phenomenon is that people who want to get on the boat to see new things gather under the gangway, making it look like they are all people at first glance.

Fortunately, there were people below to maintain order, and so many people were not crowded and stampede.

There were people blocking the front, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe met their eyes, and then quietly waited behind the line.

As soon as they boarded the boat, the children's voices sounded in their ears: "Father, come here quickly. Here, here!"

Shen Zhang stood on the aisle of the cabin on the top floor and kept waving to Fang Tianlin, surrounded by Shen family members.

"Coming soon."

The ship was very large, and as soon as 200 people boarded the ship, they were evacuated. Now that they were walking around, there would be no jostling. Fang Tianlin soon came to the highest platform of the cargo ship.

"Tianlin, this boat is much bigger than any boat we have been on before." Shen Jiahe's tone rose slightly, and there seemed to be a flame of excitement jumping in his eyes.

"Well, there are not many such ships even in Yunzhou Port." Fang Tianlin echoed.Even though he had seen a ship that was many times bigger than this ship, when he actually stood on it, he still felt his heart beat faster, his blood surged faster, and he felt a surge of pride.

In the past, Fang Tianlin was just a passer-by, and if he met or even took a ride, there would be nothing left. Even if the ship carried tons or even tens of millions of tons, what did it have to do with him?The cargo ship under his feet belongs to his family, this is the biggest difference between the two, and Fang Tianlin's feelings are also different.

"Daddy, hug."

"Father, hug."

The triplets found their own positions and said almost in unison.

Fang Tianlin hugged the elder son and younger son who were at his feet, Shen Jiahe hugged the second son, and the family of five looked down from a height and looked ahead.

Under the sunlight, the sea water was shimmering, and it hurts the eyes after looking at it for a long time, but everyone seemed to be unable to see enough, so they closed their eyes for a while, and then continued.

This is a port, the wind and waves are not strong, and the boats are not small, you can hardly feel its shaking, and walking on it can be said to be like walking on flat ground.

"Third brother, how many people and things can this boat carry?" With his hands behind his back, Mr. Shen was delighted to hear the compliments and congratulations from the surrounding villagers, but his face was tense, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows, Don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

"If you only carry people, one or two thousand people is no problem, and the cargo can hold about three thousand stones." Shen Jiahe knew about these things a long time ago, and now he just opened his mouth.

"So many!" Even though Mr. Shen was prepared, he was still surprised by this number.

Fang Tianlin smiled and said nothing. A ship of this tonnage is not enough in modern times. More than 3000 stones, or two hundred tons, this load is really not even a fraction of that of a large cargo ship.

But what does it matter?With Jingchao's current level of technology, it is very rare to be able to build such a large ship. It may not be possible to build such a ship if the modern people are brought here.

Moreover, this is not the largest, civilian ships are restricted, and the cargo ship under your feet is already the largest model among civilian ships. Even if they have the ability to build larger ships, shipbuilders cannot make them. Can take a chance.Most of the port here are civilian ships, and official ships are not always seen.

After viewing the exterior scene, Fang Tianlin took the Shen family to the command cabin, while the rest of the crew could only visit the cabins with the doors open.Not everyone can enter the important place in the ship. If the equipment inside is broken, few villagers can afford to pay.

Everyone envied them, but they were just talking about it, thinking about it in their hearts, if they were really asked to work on the ship, hehe, I guess nine and a half out of ten would not be willing, unless they had reached the point where they had nowhere to go.

Anyang Village is not far from Yunzhou City, the distance is only tens of miles. The villagers' life is pretty good. After taking over many outsourced jobs from the Shen family, their living standards have risen in a straight line. Few people are willing to go to sea to ask for a living.

This is also an important reason why so many villagers responded positively when they heard that the Shen family had lost four children.It's not for nothing that they cannibalize people and make people soft. What's more, they are begging for life under the Shen family.

Naturally, Fang Tianlin would not force this kind of thing.Originally, he wanted to recruit subordinates who belonged entirely to the Shen family, but after such a long time, he could only find a few skilled and experienced sailors to manage the affairs, and the rest had to be hired outside. Even so, the manpower was still insufficient. .Fortunately, ordinary sailors were not so sought after. After a few months, all of them were recruited, and they all belonged to the Shen family.

After the cargo ship is in hand, it has to be used. It is a waste to empty it. Even if it does not sail, the annual maintenance cost is still high.If it is not maintained, the ship will soon decay, and the large amount of money invested in it before is in vain.No one would do such a stupid thing, and it's not that the Shen family has so much money that they have no place to spend it, and it's not so extravagant, so when they bought a boat, they naturally wanted to make the best use of it.

Fang Tianlin didn't plan to rent the boat out, and he and Shen Jiahe got busy in the next few days.The two had a clear division of labor, Fang Tianlin was in charge of recruiting the missing manpower, and by the way inquired about the information of the fleet that had recently sailed, while Shen Jiahe was in charge of preparing the cargo.

The Shen family only had one large cargo ship, plus two escort ships converted from small merchant ships.Large ships are seldom available in stock, and are made according to customer requirements after booking.Small boats are different. There are basically all kinds of styles. Unless there are special requirements, you can just buy them directly.

Fang Tianlin bought a small cargo ship more than a month after ordering a large cargo ship, and bought another merchant ship of the same model a month later, and has been remodeling it ever since.The two escort ships were both light and fast. They were equipped with the largest military equipment allowed by the imperial court, not to mention rockets and shells, and even a small artillery was laid.

The former are conventional weapons, but the latter is not.Although the power of the small artillery is not great, it can only deal with pirates, and basically does not pose a threat to the imperial warships. It is still not available to ordinary merchants, which means that the Shen family has a lot of power behind it.

Fang Tianlin bought these two small merchant ships in a civilian dock, but the renovation site is not there.Regardless of whether the escort ship is for civilian or military use, it is under the control of the Navy Yamen, and the status of entry and exit and the use of weapons need to be reported.Self-arming is not counted. As long as there is no violation of the ban, it doesn't matter much even if it is found.If you are hit by an opponent, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and it is justified to obediently be confiscated.

Don't think that the Shen family can have such an armed force now, just think it will be like this in the future.In fact, for a long period of time, the Shen family can only have two escort ships, and if they want to improve the escort level, the fleet must reach a certain size. This is no longer a matter that can be solved by adding a few ships at will. .Of course, this is something that is put on the table, and no one knows the transaction behind the scenes.It is not impossible for the navy's warships that have not reached the service life to flow into the hands of sea merchants.

Escort ships owned by the Shen family on the surface are nothing. The real powerful ones are private armed forces. As long as they are not exposed, who would know?

With the current fleet size of the Shen family, it is not a big problem to sail in the coastal waters near Yunzhou Prefecture, but the risk will increase greatly if it is far away from the coast. Only by joining other fleets to sail together can the safety be guaranteed.This is also impossible, sailing along the coastline, the voyage will be much longer, and the time spent on the light path will double.

Regardless of other considerations, if you only look at the benefits, the efficiency of sailing in a nearly straight line can reach the highest in the open sea along with the wind and the current.Some goods have a short shelf life. For businessmen, time is money, and they can be as fast as they can.Due to this restriction, small sea merchants either hang on to large sea merchants, or hug each other and make an appointment to set sail together.

These are the problems that may be encountered during long-distance voyages. There are not so many constraints on short-distance coastal shipping. Even if there is only a small merchant ship, pay attention to it and you will be safe.

For this voyage, Fang Tianlin's main purpose is not to do maritime trade, but to find a suitable development base.Therefore, the goods carried on the ship are relatively miscellaneous. Except for some goods that are used to conceal people's eyes and ears for business, the rest tend to be items that may be used after finding a place.

"Jiahe, is everyone ready?"

"Ah."

"Then load the ship tomorrow. There is a fleet sailing the next morning, and we are on the same journey. I will talk to them now. You can count the cargo and utensils again, and don't miss anything." Fang Tianlin dropped such a sentence Then he hurried out.He had already contacted the person in charge of the fleet before, and he had mentioned in advance the Shen family's intention to join the fleet, but this time it was formally confirmed, and further discussions were needed.

Things went smoothly. The person in charge of the fleet explained the rules clearly. After Fang Tianlin promised to follow the rules, the two parties happily finalized the cooperation.

Within an hour, Fang Tianlin came to the warehouse temporarily rented by the Shen family at the wharf.

At this moment, the warehouse was very busy, and the various stewards directed the crew to carry out the last count.Standing aside, Shen Jiahe checked the numbers reported by the stewards, ticked them off on the ledger if they were correct, and counted them again if there were any problems.After counting one more item, he was about to lift his foot and go over to check for himself, when he saw Fang Tianlin walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, Shen Jiahe hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile: "Did we talk about it?"

"Yeah." Fang Tianlin took the ledger from Shen Jiahe's hand, "You go to the meeting, I'll do the next one."

"Okay, I'll go over and have a look." Shen Jiahe didn't refuse, he got into the warehouse in twos and twos, and disappeared in an instant.

The corners of Fang Tianlin's mouth turned up, with a smile in his eyes. Shen Jiahe's skills are much stronger than when they first met. It seems that years of training, plus the nourishment of space water, under the two-phase interaction, the effect is extremely significant.

Soon the inventory of the goods was completed, the warehouse locked the gate, and a few people were left to guard. Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe left the dock and went straight to Yunzhou City.

Shen Jiahe: "Tianlin, you still have some goods at home, why don't you move to the dock today?"

"No, those are more important and there are not many things. Just come with us tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiahe thought about it for a while, and felt that it was nothing to do, so he stopped asking more questions, and turned to talk about his sons: "My parents don't agree with us bringing the children with me, and my mother has been sulking these days. The first time I saw it, my eyes were red, and my father also blew his beard and stared at me. Tianlin, what do you think is going on?"

"Then you can safely leave the children at home?"

"I'm in a hurry just because I don't feel relieved. Otherwise, why would I worry about it? My parents are already old, so it's not good to put things on hold." Shen Jiahe said with a naive smile, "Tianlin, you are so smart, is there any way to persuade you?" They, at least make them feel at ease."

"..." Fang Tianlin fell silent, this matter is not easy to handle.No matter how much he comforted and persuaded them, the fact that the three children went to sea with them could not be changed. As long as this one remained unchanged, the two elders would not be able to really feel at ease.

Fang Tianlin also knows that he and Shen Jiahe are going to sea, no matter how reluctant the two elders are, they can only let them go, after all, they are both so old, and the old man and the old lady know that they can't control them, they can't use their identities to control them. Pressure, I am afraid that there will be a gap between the two parties, which is not what the two elders want to see.But it's different with children, if something happens on the way, it will be a disaster, Shen Jiahe is afraid that he won't even be able to stay behind, can the two elders be in a hurry?Even Mr. Shen, who has always been very open-minded, firmly opposed it.

If the triplets were just ordinary children, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe wouldn't have to take them with them, that's the problem.Neither of the two is at ease to leave the children alone, and if they stay there, it will be at least a month or two, and at most half a year or even more. If something happens to their own baby, who knows what will happen without the two of them what kind of thing?

Not only did the two elders think so, but all relatives who were close to Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe took turns to persuade them. Ever since it was learned that the triplets were sailing with them, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe had no quiet time.

Fang Tianlin thought about it, knowing that it would be quite difficult to deal with, so he agreed.The two elders were restless, even if Shen Jiahe traveled far away, he would still miss him, which was of no benefit to anyone.

"Then you go and organize your things first, and I'll go and persuade my parents."

"it is good."

It's embarrassing for a daughter-in-law, this statement will be recognized by many people wherever it goes, but Fang Tianlin has no such worries.The two elders knew that he was acting in the name of a daughter-in-law, but in fact he was using his own son as a daughter-in-law envoy, so they had many scruples in doing things.

Fang Tianlin was just the opposite, as long as there was no one else around, he would be very relaxed, and would not push Shen Jiahe out of everything, pick himself out, and hide from the vortex and watch coldly.He will take on his responsibilities, which will also make the two elders feel more at ease.

It's just that Fang Tianlin has a big idea, and the two elders are clear about this. After he said it twice, after he couldn't get a satisfactory answer, the old man and the old lady turned all their eyes on Shen Jiahe.The third son is much softer than the third daughter-in-law. The two elders try their best, maybe they can persuade him, and then they listen to the wind, maybe it will be done?Even though the two elders didn't expect much from this, they still did so.

"Tuk Tuk."

"what's up?"

"Old man, old lady, the third lady is here."

"I don't see you." The old lady was angry, and tried to persuade her for several days, but the third son refused to listen. Now she doesn't even want to see her third son, let alone the third daughter-in-law who makes her feel depressed when she thinks about it.Hey, I'm really old, I can't even control my son and daughter-in-law.

"Grandma, eat candy." Shen Huang leaned against the old lady's lap, grabbed a handful of toffee from the coffee table, held it in front of her, and said sweetly.

"Hey, leave it alone, grandma will eat by herself. The grandson is still a good boy who knows how to love others, unlike your two fathers, really..." Before the old lady finished speaking, she stopped abruptly.She was also in a hurry, usually she would not casually speak ill of their parents in front of the juniors.This is the true meaning she realized in her early years. If she said too much casually, it would create a gap between her grandchildren and their parents, and the family would be in trouble just around the corner.

"Grandma, daddy and daddy are amazing. Let's go out to sea and go for a walk, and we will come back safely. Grandpa and grandma don't have to worry." As he said, anything can be solved.

Seeing Yuxue's cute three grandchildren who were full of wit and vigor, trying to comfort her and the old man constantly, the old lady stared at her, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Shen Bi was leaning in front of Mr. Shen. Seeing this, he moved to the old lady's side: "Grandma, Father is a lucky star. Look, every time something happens to our family, we can avoid it. The days are getting worse and worse." Well, how could something happen? Since my father is a lucky star, then we are little boys under the lucky star, no one can hurt us, not even God."

"Yes, yes, what Bi'er said is right, but it's fine to say it in front of us, and it can't be spread outside." Seeing that there were only a few of them in the room, the old lady let out a sigh of relief.It is a good thing to be blessed, but if you are too lucky, everyone may not be happy, and it is not impossible to use this as an excuse to make things happen.

Shen Bi smiled and agreed.How could he be so stupid?It was only when he saw that the room was full of his own people that he would say these words. It is enough to pretend to be cute outside. As long as he does this, he can collect a lot of good things. Not only will he not expose their differences from ordinary people, You can also receive a lot of small gifts, which is much easier than paying attention to your words and deeds to avoid being exposed.Why not do such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

Standing outside the door, Fang Tianlin faintly heard the voices of his sons talking softly with the two elders, and occasionally laughed, with a faint smile on his lips.

Fang Tianlin waited for a long time before he heard some son trotting over to open the door.

"Father, grandpa told you to go in." Shen Zhang volunteered, and when he saw Fang Tianlin standing at the door, he smiled with crooked eyebrows, and the look in his eyes was full of praise and praise.

"Zhang'er is awesome!" Fang Tianlin patted his second son's head, and walked into the room holding his little hand.

The door was not closed, Shen Huang immediately understood, took the small bench and sat on the edge of the threshold.There were not many people brought by the two elders, and it was impossible to listen to them, and with Shen Huang watching, this possibility was completely eliminated.

"Third daughter-in-law, do you really have to bring Bi'er and the others?" Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, fixedly looked at Fang Tianlin, who was tall and straight, and easy to get along with at first glance, and sighed deeply.

"Father, trust me, nothing will happen." Fang Tianlin assured with a serious face.How could he do whatever he wants?I started to prepare slowly a few months ago. Among other things, at least it is possible to ensure the safety of their family of five.

"What guarantee do you have?" There was a look of sadness in the old man's eyes.That's the sea, it's different from the flat land, if something happens on the sea, it's really bad for every day, and it's bad for the earth.They can't help anything, this feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable.

"Father, when did I do something to disappoint you?" Fang Tianlin couldn't elaborate on many things, but he could only do his best to make the two elders feel at ease about their trip.

Seeing the tall and handsome third daughter-in-law, both Mr. Shen and the old lady were shocked, and then a long-lost smile lit up on their faces.Such a third daughter-in-law, who is so intimidating to look at, not only did not arouse fear in the two elders, but also had no reason to relax.The stronger the third daughter-in-law, the safer the third son's family, and the same goes for other Shen family members.

"Okay, you can figure it out." Mr. Shen gave up completely. After trying for so long, he couldn't make his third son and third daughter-in-law change their minds. the result of.They are going to travel far away, and they can't add unnecessary burdens to their son and daughter-in-law.

Fang Tianlin knew that it would be useless to say more without revealing his secrets. Seeing that the two elders were in a slightly better mood, he stopped talking about this matter and talked to the old man about the situation of the workshop.Once they leave, these matters will be taken over by the old man, with Shen Jiahai and some helpers, and the old man doesn't need to take care of them too much, as long as he watches over them, he won't let the subordinates get half-hearted.

In the end, Fang Tianlin thought about it, and told the two elders that they were going to sail the day after tomorrow.

"Leave the day after tomorrow, so soon?" The old lady just passed through a little bit, and immediately became depressed again. She hugged the two little grandchildren in front of her, and even recruited Shen Huang.
