Fang Tianlinxu wiped his forehead, and walked out of the guest house as if he was alive after a catastrophe.It's easy to deal with the villains, like this, who has almost no selfishness, and only cares about them. Even Fang Tianlin has a hard time dealing with it. It's better to let him have a good fight with others.

The children stayed in the guest courtyard during the day to accompany the elders, and only returned to the main courtyard at night to sleep with Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe.There are little guys at the knees, and the two elders don't have much time to think about it.

Fang Tianlin secretly gave them a thumbs up, the sons are doing well, father is proud of you.He was very fortunate, if there were no children to entangle the two elders, he and Jiahe would probably be even more "physically and mentally exhausted" in the past few days.

But after thinking about it, Fang Tianlin felt that this was wrong. Without the triplets, this would not have happened, would it?He shook his head, not thinking about such entangled matters, it was only reasonable to go back and help Shen Jiahe pack his bags.

The bulky items have basically been packed, and some fragmentary and daily-use items have to be sieved carefully, trying not to leave any things that will be used in the future.

It's hot today and the food is not stored properly. Fang Tianlin remodeled a storage room on the ship, which is specially used to store meat and other foods that are particularly perishable. Now this cabin is still empty, waiting for the goods to enter the warehouse tomorrow.The ice cubes have also been pre-ordered. When the time comes, you can go directly to Anjia Ice Shop to pick up the goods, and the price is extremely favorable.

Although Fang Tianlin's family only sailed in the waters of the Jing Dynasty this time, the voyage was not short. Before arriving at the destination, there were not many stops in the middle of the port, and fruits and vegetables were indispensable, especially oranges, which contain more vitamins. For fruits, bring more.

It's a pity that at this time of year, oranges are not yet on the market, and the only edible ones are some dried fruits and the like.Fang Tianlin was dissatisfied, and frowned slightly, but something is better than nothing, and no matter how reluctant, he had to wear it.

It’s okay to eat, even if you don’t carry enough, you can still fish from the sea, but you must never forget the most important fresh water.Without it, sea voyages are empty talk.Maybe Fang Tianlin can find a way to solve the fresh water problem by himself, but his family is not the only one on board, what about the accompanying crew?You can't rely on him, can you?

Time flies, and soon it will be time for the Shen family's fleet.

Early in the morning, all the Shen family members came to see him off.Seeing the fleet gradually drifting away and soon turning into a group of small black shadows, the eyes of the two elders of the Shen family were wet. No matter how much they comforted themselves in their hearts, their worries still lingered.That is a voyage that is very likely to cross half of the territory of the Jing Dynasty. Instead of just going around the neighboring state capital, who knows what will happen on the way?If the people left behind have no worries in their hearts, they really have seen a ghost.

When sailing in summer, the most feared thing is typhoon.Before the fleet goes out, please ask experienced masters to look at it. There are also several masters in the fleet who are good at this.Every fleet may not have such a level of masters, but at least there will be a talent in this field, otherwise no one dares to sail with confidence.

The Shen family only has three ships, and there are also pilots.It's just that they are insignificant members of the fleet now, and the navigator is useless, but Fang Tianlin still asks him to watch the sky and the sea, and collect weather and ocean current information in various sea areas. It doesn't need it now, but it doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future. use.

The sailing days were carefully selected. Although the first few days were not sunny and sunny, the wind was gentle and the waves were mild, and the sun was shining brightly. Even though the sun was shining heavily, everyone was still smiling. This is a good sign, isn’t it?

Fang Tianlin is not unfamiliar with Hai at all, it can even be said to be very familiar with it.The boat rises and falls with the waves, and he is completely unaffected, just like living on flat land.

Shen Jiahe had already experienced Fang Tianlin's point when he first went out to sea by boat.With his daughter-in-law being so powerful, he was far behind. Shen Jiahe would feel so emotional when he glanced at her occasionally.

However, Shen Jiahe does not look down on himself because of this. He has lived in Guangyan Village, where the water source is relatively poor since he was a child. He has never even been on a boat.

As for Fang Tianlin, he is a special case, and others cannot envy him.Shen Jiahe is proud of his daughter-in-law, thinking that he will practice more whenever he wants, even if he can't be like his daughter-in-law, it can't be too far behind, right?

"Father, let's go find Father and Brother." Shen Huang tugged at the hem of Shen Jiahe's clothes, raised his face full of expectation and proposed.

"..." Shen Jiahe looked around, and found that he and his youngest son were the only ones left in the cabin after he was so dazed, "Where did your father go?"

"Father was called away by Uncle Qin."

"Oh, that's good, let's go find your father." Shen Jiahe took Shen Huang's little hand and went to the command room not far from them.

The command room is strictly guarded, not everyone can enter.These rules naturally did not work for Shen Jiahe and Shen Huang, the two traveled smoothly all the way.

As soon as he entered the command room, Shen Jiahe looked around and found that there were only a few lieutenants present, so he immediately asked, "Where are Tianlin and the others?"

"Master, Young Master, they are at the observation tower with Lao Qin." Ms. Li replied respectfully.

There are two types of people in the fleet, one is the servants of the Shen family, and the other is hired workers who have signed contracts with the Shen family for different periods of time.Most of the servants call Fang Tianlin's family Master and Young Master, while hired workers often call them Master and Young Master.

After Shen Jiahe got the answer, he didn't stay any longer, he greeted his deputy, and walked towards the watchtower.

The watchtower is above the command room side.The stairs leading up from the floor where the command room is located are very narrow, only enough for two people to walk side by side.

Shen Huang walked in front, regardless of how small he was, his walking speed was not slow at all, he reached the top of the building after a few squats, and at the end he didn't forget to turn his head to cheer Shen Jiahe: "Daddy, come on!"

"..." Shen Jiahe was a little speechless, but followed his younger son's wishes and quickened his pace.

The watchtower is not big, this floor is the highest floor, and there is only one building, the watchtower.

The two people who were talking saw Shen Jiahe and Shen Huang, they only paused for a moment before continuing with the previous conversation.

"Boss, there may be big storms these few days. I guess the fleet is going to take refuge in the port." Qin Yuan took the binoculars from Fang Tianlin, saw cloudy clouds gathering in the sky far away, frowned slightly, and thought for a while Added, "Probably a passing storm."

"The fleet should give an order. Let's wait and see. If we don't stop sailing, we will deal with it." Qin Yuan's ability is not bad, but he is not the most powerful in the fleet. Fang Tianlin doesn't think he can make this judgment alone.The person in charge of the fleet should have gotten the news at this time, maybe the time to learn about it may be earlier.

Qin Yuan agrees with Fang Tianlin's approach. He knows the rules better than his boss. The most feared thing in a team is that the small fleets below are in charge and don't obey orders. Once this happens, the fleet will not be far from disintegration.

But fortunately, although there are many rules, as long as you don't abandon your teammates and run away when you are in danger, it is not a big problem.As it is now, if the Shen family's small fleet of only three ships disagrees and wants to withdraw, there will be no bad reviews. There will still be fleets willing to accept the next team, but leaving After that, this trip with the same team is completely over, and we can only look forward to the next cooperation, which is different from leaving the team after arriving at the destination.

It didn't take long for Qin Yuan to make this conjecture, and there was a wind on the sea, which was not strong and had no effect on the sailing of the ship.

Feeling the slight rustling of the clothes in the wind, Fang Tianlin took back the binoculars from Qin Yuan's hands, handed them to the lookout, and told him to keep them carefully so that they don't fall, and then led his wife and children downstairs.

Qin Yuan looked at the good things that had just arrived and hadn't been warmed up, and they were in the hands of the lookout. He felt so reluctant to part with him. He almost turned around every step of the way. Before going down the stairs, he didn't forget to give the lookout a hard look. , He stared blankly for a moment.

The lookout felt a grievance in his heart, and this was not what he wanted, so he had the ability to reason with the two masters.

Seeing that Mr. Qin treasured the thing called "telescope" in his hand, all the people turned to the corner of the stairs. The lookout couldn't wait to pick it up, put it in front of his eyes, and placed it as Mr. Fang said, and the fleet in front zoomed in. His figure suddenly jumped into his eyes, which gave him a big jump.The lookout suspected that he was hallucinating, so he took it off and rubbed his eyes, then set up the telescope again, and the same picture as before was displayed in front of his eyes.

The lookout opened his mouth wide, and the surprise in his eyes could no longer be concealed, rising like a tide.This is really a good thing, no wonder Mr. Qin can't forget it after only touching it once, even he is reluctant to let it go.This is good, it will be much safer to go to sea in the future, at least you can deal with pirates in advance.

The lookout had heard of this thing before, but he didn't expect the Shen family to have it too.Usually the two masters don't show their mountains and dews, but he really can't see that the Shen family's background is so strong.

As expected, after the fleet sailed forward for a while, the head of the fleet ordered the fleet to turn around and head for the nearest pier.

Quite a few of them thought the same, and when the nearby ships saw that the situation was not right, they all looked for safe havens.Due to the large number of ships moored, most of the ships in the Shen family's fleet could not reach the shore after they entered the port, so they could only choose a place and drop anchor directly.

Taking advantage of the still strong wind, the fleet took turns to go ashore to buy food and fresh water.If possible, find an inn on the shore to stay. Most people stick to their posts unless the wind and waves are so strong that they have to evacuate.

"Father, the ground is moving, is it an earthquake?" Shen Zhang's eyes widened.

"..." Shen Bi turned her head away, unable to bear to see the stupid look of the second brother.

In fact, Shen Jiahe and Shen Huang were the ones who reacted the most. It's just that one of them is an adult and would not ask for help when encountering a problem. Shen Zhang couldn't hold back, and asked if he had anything.

"It's not an earthquake, it's a normal reaction, it's okay, it will be fine after a while." Fang Tianlin smiled and touched the children's heads, soothing in a low voice.Generally, only people who are sailing for the first time will have such a reaction. The three children in my family are obviously not, and their physical fitness is also good. I am afraid that it is because they have been floating on the sea for such a long time. After getting used to it, they will be fine.Even so, he still said, "If anyone feels uncomfortable, just say, let's walk slowly, and the symptoms will be relieved after a while."

After finishing speaking, Fang Tianlin's family of five walked hand in hand on the pier.The whistling wind whizzed past my ears, making my clothes rattle.At this time, everyone can already clearly feel the resistance of the wind, even if they walk slowly, they have to work harder than before.

Two days later, the storm swept past, and the pier was bustling again, only the fallen leaves and branches showed its existence.

Many ships that had been delayed left the port quickly, and the Shen family's fleet moved equally quickly, but their fleet was relatively large, so they left some time for the various sea merchants below to load the items purchased in the past few days onto the ship, and waited After the inspection was completed and it was determined that there were no omissions, the fleet resumed.

Since then, the fleet has not encountered any troubles. It can be said that it is smooth sailing. Occasionally, other ships approach and are forced to retreat.At sea, when two fleets encounter each other, it is normal for them to avoid each other. It is rare for them to have a happy conversation. Even if the other party is an acquaintance, one has to think carefully.

In the second half of the journey, there are ships leaving the team one after another, and this is the place.After nearly half of the ships were lost, the fleet no longer sailed far seas. The fewer ships, the closer to the coastline. When there were only three or two kittens left, it could be said that they were already sailing close to the coast.

"Tianlin, how long will it take?" There are already very few ships in the fleet. Including them, there are only three companies in total, with a total of nearly twenty ships. Shen Jiahe can't help but feel a little worried.A few days further ahead, we will sail out of the sea area under the jurisdiction of Jingchao, which is not as safe as the sea area of ​​Yunzhou Prefecture.In recent days, ships suspected of robbery have appeared from time to time, and security issues have become increasingly prominent.

Fang Tianlin took out the brochure provided by Master Ansan, took out an extremely rough map from it, spread it out, pointed to a place and said: "We are here now, and our destination is here. If we hurry up, we will be able to land tomorrow. The slowest is the day after tomorrow.”

"Tianlin, are you sure it's this?" Shen Jiahe's eyes were full of astonishment.

"Yeah." Fang Tianlin stood up straight, with an unknown gleam in his eyes, "If it weren't for the severe water shortage in Guangyan Village, which is not very suitable for living, I really want to choose my ancestral land there."

Fang Tianlin is really not just talking nonsense.The state capital where Guangyan Village is located is mostly mountainous. Although it is not as difficult and dangerous as the Shu Road in his impression, there are many remote and difficult places to walk, and you can quietly develop anywhere you choose.Fang Tianlin still feels a pity when he thinks about it.

"But it's so close to the border, isn't it very dangerous?" Shen Jiahe rarely showed disapproval.If there is a war on the border, the people living near the border will bear the brunt.Everyone else was walking in the direction of Wangcheng, but his family was fine, so he took the initiative to run here.Even Shen Jiahe couldn't figure out what his daughter-in-law was thinking now.

Fang Tianlin smiled, he chose this place on purpose after careful consideration.Among the information provided by Master Ansan, there are actually many places suitable for his development. Why didn't he choose any place, but chose a place so close to the border?Isn't it just because of the chaos here and being far away from the royal city, he now wants to experience the feeling of being far away from the emperor.

The messier it is, the easier it is to create new rules.In a place like Wangcheng, unless the country is destroyed, it is impossible for the current emperor to allow other forces to grow and develop under his nose, even if Fang Tianlin has the inheritance of the Qianyuan clan to rely on.Fighting against the entire country with one's own strength, such a painstaking and laborious thing that may not be flattering, Fang Tianlin doesn't want to do it.

But the southwestern frontier is different. As long as the initial development period is over and the safety is guaranteed, it will be very convenient in the future.

Fang Tianlin didn't intend to become king on his own, but the things in his hands were so good that any one he took out might attract covetousness, so he had to guard against it.Let him develop with peace of mind, and he doesn't want to provoke disputes at will, but if anyone wants to take a piece of meat from him, then sorry, he won't accompany him.

Before Shen Jiahe didn't ask, Fang Tianlin didn't take the initiative to mention it. Now that his wife has spoken, Fang Tianlin had no intention of hiding it, and briefly explained his plan.

The more Fang Tianlin said, the more Shen Jiahe opened his mouth, until later, he had no other expression except a dazed face.

"Tianlin, you take the child out first, and let me be quiet." Shen Jiahe's forehead twitched, his heart skipped a beat in shock.His mind is full of mud now, he can hardly even think, he must calm down before he can face the person next to him again.

Fang Tianlin patted Shen Jiahe's shoulder, silently giving support, then took his sons out of the cabin, closed the cabin door, and left all the space for Shen Jiahe.

Looking at the three little guys who were frowning and still a little ignorant, Fang Tianlin strengthened his belief in his heart.It would be best if he could develop technology to the point he wanted in his lifetime, but if not, the follow-up matters could only be left to his sons.

They are willing to inherit his will and move forward, Fang Tianlin agrees with both hands and feet, but he doesn't want to, and he has no objection to guarding the family fortune he and Jiahe saved.He is him, son is son, the two cannot be confused.He doesn't see too much of parents imposing their wishes on their children in modern times, which has caused too many tragedies. He doesn't want such things to happen to his sons.

Fang Tianlin squatted down, and whispered to his sons: "No one can say what my father said just now, you know?"

The triplets nodded in unison, and Shen Zhang even covered his mouth, indicating that he must keep the secret.

Looking at Shabao's second son, Fang Tianlin's smile deepened.

"Go, father will take you to the deck to see the sea!"

When the triplets heard this, their small faces immediately wrinkled into balls, and even Shen Huang, who was not too emotionally volatile, looked disgusted.

"Father, can we not go?" The three little guys said in unison.

"Haha!" Fang Tianlin laughed heartily, the unchanging life at sea is really unacceptable.Not to mention the crew members who have lived at sea for a long time, even those who experience such a voyage for the first time may feel bored with the sea.

It's okay now, and I can still see the coastline. Before, it was nothing but the sea all day long. It's good if the children don't go crazy.

Enough laughing, Fang Tianlin stopped teasing the three little guys, and asked: "The cabin is occupied by your father, since you don't want to go to the deck, where do you want to go?"

"Go next door!"

"Okay, then let's go now." Fang Tianlin smiled and was dragged away by his sons.

Sailing at sea is very boring. As long as there are no troubles, there will be a special person responsible for all matters on board. Fang Tianlin and the others don't need to come forward. How to pass the time has become their first problem to solve.It's okay for adults, but it's a bit uncomfortable for children to be trapped in such a small place.

Usually, it was fine, Fang Tianlin would teach them to study, take them to exercise, and wander around on the boat in his spare time, but there were always times when he got bored.Together with Shen Jiahe, Fang Tianlin vacated the cabin next door and set up a playroom for the children.

Slides, parallel bars, seesaws... It's not a big place, but let them make several children's toys.With this place, the sons are not too tired of looking at the sea, and the family will go inside if they have nothing to do, fully adjust their mentality, and completely eliminate the depression that may be caused before it sprouts.

Because it was a temporary idea, these toys are relatively simple, and the children need someone to watch them play. In addition, this is the sea, so you have to keep an eye on it. If one is not careful, the three little guys forget to close the door, and a wave comes over. Throw the person out, who should he and Jiahe cry to?

Therefore, the children don't spend much time in the game room on weekdays. Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe also have their own things to do, so it is impossible to stay idle and be with the children all the time.

Hearing the laughter coming from next door from time to time, Shen Jiahe's mood gradually calmed down.

Although the Shen family is doing well in Yunzhou City and their days are flourishing, their foundation is not solid and they may capsize at any time.After all, relying on external forces for support, and their own strength is not strong, once the group they belong to suffers setbacks, the first ones to be abandoned are probably merchants like the Shen family.

No matter how much he raised himself up, it was a fact that the status of a businessman was not high.Although the status of merchants in Yunzhou City is higher than that of merchants in any other place, but the layer of glamorous coat on the surface is still fragile inside. Once the power behind them falls, they will immediately become the target of public criticism, and the family business will be divided up in minutes.

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, anyone who can be called a wealthy businessman will not have such a single network of relationships, but no one can refute the fact that they are too controlled by others.Entrusting his own safety to others is not what Fang Tianlin wants to see.Before that, he had no money or food, and he was constrained in everything he did. Fang Tianlin could bear it. Now that he has more money, he is naturally unwilling to do so. The feeling of having a sharp sword hanging over his head all the time is not good.

Shen Jiahe and the others probably don't think it's a big deal, everyone has long been used to it, no matter what, it's better than before when they had to make careful calculations even after eating a full meal, and it's even more normal to look at people's faces.

Fang Tianlin is not the case. Although the country he lived in in his previous life has various unsatisfactory places, his life is guaranteed. Except for a few unlucky people, it is not a luxury to live in peace and stability for a lifetime, but a very common thing .

Forget about the Jing Dynasty, where the imperial power is supreme, and the right to speak is in the hands of the powerful, and disaster may fall from the sky at any time.

Fang Tianlin didn't intend to be like so many businessmen, who would continue to drill into the camp, curry favor with officials everywhere, and slowly suffer step by step until he became the target of everyone's curry favor.This is too much trouble. Although he doesn't mind fighting wits and bravery, if there is a more worry-free and labor-saving method, he will naturally not choose to work hard.

After roughly thinking it over, Shen Jiahe leaned back on the chair, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, then got up with clear eyes, and pushed open the door.

With a "click", the door was pushed open.

Fang Tianlin raised his head and glanced at the cabin door, with a slight smile on his face, he said happily: "Here you come? Come and help me hold Zhang'er, this guy is too skinny."

"What did he do again?" Shen Jiahe's eyes were full of curiosity.Neither of the two men talked about the previous incident, and talked about their sons in a tacit understanding.

"Look, this kid is playing like crazy, just for a while, his clothes are sweaty, and there is no place to work." Fang Tianlin said so, but his movements were very light. Otherwise, with his skill, how could it be possible? Still can't catch the second son who fled here and there?

Although Shen Jiahe didn't understand the whole story, his eyes were not white, and he soon realized that Fang Tianlin had deliberately released water to play with his sons.
