The two of them just looked at each other, they were speechless for a long time, and finally it was Ling Jingcheng who broke the silence.

"what do you want?"

"The ship's weapons are the equipment that will be replaced soon. It would be even better if there is an entire warship that is facing obsolescence and can be converted to civilian use." At this time, Fang Tianlin was not polite at all, and stated his intentions.

"Let me go back and think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." Ling Jingcheng restrained his momentum, and got up to see off the guests.

He didn't ask why, the weapons of these warships that had been refitted would at most compete with the bandits, and they couldn't shake the regular army at all.Knowing this is enough, as long as it is not a rebellion, everything is easy to talk about, otherwise, at most, he will let the Shen family go when the Shen family helped the Ling family to survive a crisis, and then return to the road.

Fang Tianlin had no intention of staying here, and he could tell that although the Ling family had been here for a long time, they were still loyal to the imperial court as far as it was concerned, and it would be good if he could not be kicked out directly. Ask him to go out politely, it is all because of the friendship between the two families, what else can Fang Tianlin say?

As soon as Ling Jingcheng got home, he went straight to Mrs. Ling's residence.Although he was eager in his heart, he did a good job on the surface. The servant girl was used to seeing his master striding forward, so he was not surprised at all.

"Father, what do you think about this?" Ling Jingcheng briefly explained Fang Tianlin's reason for coming, and at the end he immediately asked his father for his opinion.He has only been in the position of chief soldier for a few years, Fang Tianlin's matter is not a small matter, and if someone investigates him in the future, it will be a troublesome matter, big or small.

"What he wants, can you take it out?" Old Master Ling said quietly, coiling the iron gall in his hand.

Ling Jingcheng nodded, and refused if he couldn't get it out. Fang Tianlin would definitely make other requests. Who knows if the price he paid was higher than this?Since everything is unknown, it is better to promise what can be done now.

"Is it accumulated in the past, or will a batch of equipment be eliminated soon?"

"I have both, but I don't need so many. Master Fang is only going to arm his private fleet, not to form a navy. Even if you don't count the batch that is about to be replaced, it will be enough."

The configuration of the Ling family's army is considered good in the navy. The weapons and equipment they have eliminated are not unusable, and many of them have been scattered into the hands of admirals who are not very well equipped.Of course, these will only be used by naval fleets with relatively low regulations, and elite fleets don't bother to use them.

"For so long in the past, people have been cleaned up?"

"I don't guarantee that everything will be dealt with, but the generals who are against the Ling family have been transferred or demoted, and none are left. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they are no different from birds whose wings have been broken. At present, they are shrinking their heads. It's too late, how dare you act casually so as to expose your whereabouts?" Speaking of this, Ling Jingcheng's gratitude to the Shen family increased.

If it hadn't been for the unintentional act of the Shen family back then, the Ling family wouldn't know what it would be like now, and it would be possible for his position as the commander-in-chief to be wiped out. It is unknown whether the Ling family is still alive or not.

As long as the Shen family does not rebel, Ling Jingcheng is inclined to accept this matter.

"The Ling family has to repay the favor of the Shen family. Besides, he also gave you several blueprints for making weapons. I think they are better than the current weapons. I just don't know how the real ones will work." Mr. Ling walked back and forth. After a few steps, he sighed, "In this way, the kindness of the Shen family has not been fully repaid, that's all, I heard that the Shen family will soon leave Yunzhou City to live in other places, did Master Fang tell you? , let you take care of those relatives and friends left behind by the Shen family?"

"That's right, I just mentioned it casually. It seems that Master Fang just wants the Ling family to take care of it secretly. He probably doesn't want to affect their lives. As long as these people are not in danger, we don't need to come forward."

"Okay, that's it. Now that this matter has been accepted, why not send the Buddha to the west and pick some light and easy-to-use things for him. By the way, remember to keep your whereabouts secret. It will be a troublesome thing to be seen by others."

"Yes, Dad, I'm going to ask someone to handle this in secret."

The extra ships in the Shen family's fleet are all bought on the spot. There are no large cargo ships in stock, and small and medium ships can basically be bought at any time.

There is only a boat without a boatman, and the boat cannot go away.Fortunately, Fang Tianlin had already asked Mr. Shen and the others to look for manpower a long time ago, including the boatman, but it was beyond expectations. Fang Tianlin had to wait a little longer. After all the materials and personnel were ready, Shen The family fleet just set off.

Parting is always sad, especially when sailing from a prosperous capital to an unknown place.

In the first few days, many members of the Shen family lost their appetites, and some even developed symptoms of seasickness.The Shen family is like this, and the rest of the non-boat workers are not much better than them.At this moment, when the doctors are working hard, drink the soup and medicine, and eat some appetizing food, and the patient's condition gradually improves.

When Fang Tianlin saw him, he didn't use the powerful medicine in his hand. He didn't need to do anything extra for the illness that the doctors could cure.Moreover, he didn't have a lot of stock in hand, and his family was busy, and Huang'er struggled to make half of it with Bala's help, so he wanted to save money.

"Old man, are we leaving now?" Mrs. Zhang was depressed, and her youngest daughter stopped talking. She had expected this kind of result. Who would have thought that the eldest daughter would not go with them? Actually, think about it. The result is not too surprising.

At the beginning, the eldest daughter's family didn't plan to leave Fuyang County with them. It was after the in-laws and the others found out that the situation was not quite right that they made a temporary decision. It is not incomprehensible that this is the case now.

It’s okay, as the eldest daughter is about to become a grandmother, there is nothing wrong with reproducing in Anyang Village for generations. Even the old lady Zhang didn’t know what kind of place the third child was looking for, so she didn’t say anything to persuade the eldest The words of the daughter walking with her family.Although she knew it in her heart, the old lady's nose turned sour when she thought of the farewell today and the difficulty of seeing each other again in the future.

Why isn't Mr. Shen like this?When people get old, they just want to be reunited with their families, and their children and grandchildren are around their knees.If their family was still in Guangyan Village, it might not be too difficult to realize this situation.

Even though at that time, the two elders didn't see their two daughters many times a year, and sometimes even thought they were annoying when they encountered bad things, but it was always their own daughters, who wouldn't miss one or two?Right now, there is really only one thought left, and from then on, it is impossible to see it across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Shen still comforted him: "Old lady, don't be sad, maybe the third daughter-in-law is capable, and maybe we will meet again with the eldest girl and the second girl."

When the old lady was not old enough, she didn't believe what the old man said, who was being fooled?But now she is willing to believe so, at least she has something to look forward to, doesn't she?

"I haven't seen you for more than a year. Didn't you make some clothes, shoes and socks for the three little grandchildren? Let me take them out and see if they are too small. You will have to put the skirts on later. " Thinking of the three children in the third family, Mr. Shen's face was a little happy, and he didn't know what the three little guys looked like now after such a long time.

"Hey, okay, I'll take it out and have a look again. The third daughter-in-law told me the approximate size, but it's been a while since he came out, and I've tried to make it as big as possible, and left the long side, so I don't know. Will they be able to wear it when they go to work?" The old lady didn't have time to think about it when she had something to do, but she was in a better mood.

"Did you forget to bring the third one?"

"No, it's the third daughter-in-law. I also gave him a few pairs of cloth shoes, so I won't miss out on the third." Didn't you make up a few mats and think I don't know?"

The mat that Mrs. Zhang mentioned is not the kind of mat that can be seen casually in the market. This mat was made by Mr. Shen after listening to what Fang Tianlin said casually. It is a bit like a mahjong mat in the present world. My own opinion, after making a rough sample, and then asking the master to polish and carve it carefully, can be troublesome.

There are only a few pairs, but the old man insists on not allowing everyone to use them, saying that they will share one pair with each other in the local area. Look at the appearance of that treasure, isn't it just a summer mat, and it's not made of jade, so what's there to hide? With?

Mr. Shen didn't talk to each other, he just laughed and laughed, leaving aside the sadness of parting, the two elders could still enjoy themselves.

In the first part of the sea route, under the banner of patrolling the garrisoned sea area, General Ling sent a fleet to open the way far ahead. The fleet of Shen's family benefited all the way. After the other fleet was about to leave, the Ling family's fleet turned in a different direction and returned.

Fang Tianlin looked at the back of the fleet going away, feeling very emotional.If he didn't get the inheritance of the Qianyuan clan, he would really be reluctant to leave Yunzhou City. Although it is not comparable to a modern metropolis, it is rare and prosperous in this era. In addition, he has met the Anjialing family. Most people want to bully the Shen family It's not that easy.

Unfortunately, the world is fickle and everything is only possible.If there is no inheritance from the Qianyuan clan, how could the Shen family get to know Master An San?It is even more impossible to make friends with the Ling family, as well as Elder Su who is far away in the southwestern border.All of these are inseparable from Space Water. In the final analysis, it was because of Space Water that these three formed their friendship with the Shen family.

Thinking of Mr. Su, Fang Tianlin couldn't help frowning.He has never been to Zhenning Pass, but looking at the many bandits on the mountain road from Yanzhou City to Linshan County, the public security is bad enough, not to mention the problems at the two passes along the way.

After losing the escort of the Ling family fleet, Fang Tianlin was not at ease, and went to the observation deck to watch in person. Unexpectedly, the situation of the fleet did not change, and it remained the same until it sailed past the boundary of Izumo Port.

Fang Tianlin has experienced the messy situation at sea. It is unreasonable that the situation in the sea area has suddenly become so good in the past few months.
