A day later, near dusk.
"Tianlin, is that Yanzhou Port?" Shen Jiahe's eyes were slightly closed, looking far ahead at the faintly visible harbor.
"Probably so. This is the last port I can see in the southwestern sea area. Going forward, I can only park some small boats. I am afraid that a large cargo ship like ours will not even be able to dock." Fang Tianlin's eyes In a flash of light, here will be the beginning of a new journey.
"Wow, I can finally get off the boat, I don't want to stay on the boat anymore, it's not fun at all!" Shen Zhang stood on tiptoe, almost lying on the guardrail.
Before he was happy for a while, he was immediately pulled back by Shen Huang: "Didn't daddy tell us not to lean on the railing, if it falls, it will be smashed into pie."
Shen Zhang scratched his head, his mouth was slightly puckered, but he didn't refute, and he relaxed himself cooperatively, following Shen Huang's strength, he got off the railing.
Seeing that the third younger brother had already made a move, Shen Bi put his little hands behind his back, glanced coolly at the second younger brother, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation of the fathers.
Both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe were aware of the interactions among the children around them, if it wasn't for Shen Huang's quick moves, Shen Jiahe would have taught him a lesson.
Interrupted by the little guys, the two also changed the subject.
"Yanzhou Port is at least a few hundred miles away from the destination. We have brought so many things, how can we get there? Do we need to rent a carriage?" Shen Jiahe felt that this seemed unlikely.They are newcomers, they are not familiar with the place, and this is a border port, so they don't need to guess to know that this place cannot be as safe as Yunzhou City. Didn't you see that there are always ships wandering around the fleet these days?
If you just rent a carriage without a driver, the deposit will be very high, so it would be more cost-effective to buy it directly.If you rent a car with a person, who knows what will go wrong in the middle.In a place where the people are unfamiliar, the people are tough, and the law and order are chaotic, doing so is tantamount to entrusting your own life to others, but few people with a clear mind dare to do so.
Fang Tianlin smiled casually: "Just like you think, buy a carriage."
"The horses here should be very expensive..." Shen Jiahe frowned, and he didn't finish his sentence, but both of them knew what was going on.
"Go to Hong Kong and inquire about it." Fang Tianlin didn't say much, because some things may be quite different from the actual situation.If the horses were transported from the north, the price would be very interesting, but if there were other sources of goods, it would be hard to say.
The two chatted for a while, and Yanzhou Port was just around the corner.
Stepping on the ground again, Shen Jiahe and the triplets were very excited, especially the latter.If Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe hadn't been watching closely and didn't let them run away, the sons would have disappeared by now.
It is more secure to be down-to-earth, and Shen Jiahe once again deeply realized this point.
However, there was not much time left for him to sigh and sigh. He and Fang Tianlin still had a lot of things to do, so there was no time to be melancholy.
The Shen's fleet entered the port relatively late, and it was too late to unload at this time, so they had to wait until tomorrow.
The first thing the two need to solve is tonight's accommodation. Now that they have landed, there is no need to stay on board to save one day's accommodation costs.Everyone is tired of living at sea for such a long time. As the owner of the fleet, naturally, he can't be too stingy.Of course, those left behind have nothing to do, they can only admit that they are unlucky.
Yanzhou Port is the largest port along the southwest border, but it cannot be compared with Yunzhou Port at all, both in terms of scale and bustle.Even so, there are still people coming and going on the pier, which shows that the sea trade in Jingchao has been very prosperous.
Fang Tianlin didn't bring the guards lent by the Ling family to the Shen family, but brought Zhaocai Jinbao and Pigeon No. [-], [-], and [-]. Besides, there were Wei Xiaodong and others.
After landing, Fang Tianlin was not in a hurry to ask questions. Based on the principle of seeing more, listening more and less talking, he observed all kinds of people on the pier without any trace.
Yanzhou Port is indeed worthy of being a border port. The population here is diverse, even more so than Yunzhou Port.Not to mention people from neighboring countries whose skin color is only a little darker than that of Jingchao people, even white and black people can still be seen.
Seeing that many people's clothes were bulging, Fang Tianlin frowned slightly.This is no longer a matter of tough folk customs, businessmen need so many guards with guys to accompany them, it is obviously not very peaceful here.
Fang Tianlin glanced back, and when the temporary guards came back, they were all fully clothed, only fully armed.
"Xiaodong, take someone to investigate, be careful, safety is the most important thing."
"Yes, my boss." Wei Xiaodong suppressed his excitement and scattered with a few brothers.Within a moment, the few people disappeared from everyone's sight, and instantly blended into the surrounding environment like water droplets falling into the sea.
Although Wei Xiaodong didn't know why the Shen family didn't wait for the prosperous and prosperous Yunzhou City, and came all the way to this chaotic frontier place, but he understood that the two masters were not capricious people, they came here , must have a plan, maybe this plot is not small.
There are gains and losses. Wei Xiaodong grew up in the countryside. He was hungry and full, and he always had to smile when he saw everyone. It was really not easy to make a living.He never imagined that the Shen family hired them beggars who were like street rats and whom everyone could cast aside, and they would not ask for anything in return.He was already prepared, no, now is the time for them to perform.
For this, Wei Xiaodong has no dissatisfaction.From Fang Dong's casual words just now, it can be seen that the Shen family didn't intend to use them as cannon fodder, that's enough.
Wei Xiaodong is young, has a sweet mouth, and is good at flattering and being obedient. With just a few words, his uncle and aunt are very happy, and a lot of things come out of it.Returning to his old job after nearly two years, Wei Xiaodong felt that the pores all over his body were opened, which was a comfort.Seeing that his ability has not regressed and the results are good, he showed a satisfied expression. The previous hard days were indeed not in vain, and now is the time to reap.
After three turns and two turns, Wei Xiaodong returned to the gathering place with the information.
Employers are not suspicious, Fang Tianlin collected the information collected by Wei Xiaodong and the others, and brought them into an inn with a good reputation in this place, and handed over the rest of the staff to the management below.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er walked forward with a smile, looking at the group of strangers in front of him from time to time.Judging from their appearance and accent, they were probably natives from the hinterland. The first few people were dressed in good manners, and the Nursing House kept exuding the aura of keeping strangers away. These people were obviously not very easy to provoke.He decided to go up and sell it if he had the chance, and maybe he could get some more rewards.
Shen Jiahe glanced back, and Wen Guanshi immediately took a step forward: "To stay in a hotel, I want a small independent courtyard."
"Okay, the guest officer will follow me." Xiao Er enthusiastically led the way, and did not take Wen Guanshi to the counter to go through the formalities until Fang Tianlin and his party were satisfied.
"Silly what?"
Xiao Er, who had won a silver coin, quickly suppressed his smile: "It's nothing, I have something to do, let's talk about it later." After finishing speaking, he ran to the back kitchen to watch, the new guest officer was generous, so he could have It's ready.According to this situation, when they left, he should still get a reward.
"Hmph! What's the air? Didn't he just entertain a rich guest? He also has it." After muttering a few times in a low voice, the waiter from the other store ran to the door to greet the guest resentfully.
The place on the boat is small, even Fang Tianlin's family has a better environment than others, and it is impossible to sleep in a big bed.After all, it is a cargo ship rather than a cruise ship, and the space cannot be wasted at will.
That night, the entire group had a good night's sleep.
Waking up the next day, Fang Tianlin was refreshed, and the fatigue from the journey was gone.He stretched comfortably, looked at his wife and children who were still sleeping peacefully with a smile for a while, and then pushed the door out.
After freshening up, Fang Tianlin played a set of military boxing casually in the yard, and after stretching his muscles and bones, he went to the front hall to have breakfast.
When they returned to the room again, Shen Jiahe and the triplets had already woken up.
"Jiahe, take the children to rest in the house today, and go to work with me tomorrow." Fang Tianlin suggested.
Shen Jiahe didn't want to agree at first, but when he saw the three little guys around his feet, he swallowed his words back.People on long-distance travel get tired easily. Even if they are sailing at sea and everything is normal, they still cannot escape this point.The children looked very energetic, but to be on the safe side, it's better to take an extra day off, no matter how busy you are, don't be in a hurry.
"Okay." Shen Jiahe agreed straightforwardly, and at the end he didn't forget to say a few words, "The situation here is more complicated, so you should be careful."
"Don't worry, I won't be so careless." Fang Tianlin finished dressing up, greeted his wife and son, and headed to the port with most of his staff.
Fang Tianlin went to pay the tax first, then rented a temporary warehouse, and hired people to unload all the goods on the ship into it.After all this work, it's past lunch time.
"Why are you here?" Fang Tianlin raised his head, and saw the first and third children walking towards him.
Shen Jiahe put down the food box, took out a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from Fang Tianlin's face.Although Fang Tianlin didn't have to do it himself to carry things, after such a busy schedule, he was already sweating profusely.
"The inn is not far from here. I heard from Wei Xiaodong that you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some here." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, and told the others who were still finishing, "Hurry up, I'll let Guanshi Wen eat in front The shop has ordered meals for you, and everyone has extra meals today, each with a big meat and a small meat, plus a bowl of wine."
As soon as Shen Jiahe's words fell, the people below immediately cheered.Their treatment in the Shen family is pretty good, but not every meal can eat animal meat.They have long been tired of eating things in the sea, so they want to eat some chicken, duck, pork and mutton, and they haven't touched wine for several months.Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that there was wine to drink, and they smacked their mouths twice, thinking of the taste of the contents in the cup very much.
After getting the head start, everyone was full of energy, and the rest of the work was quickly done, and then a group of people, led by Wen Guanshi, rushed towards the food shop, leaving only a few people to guard the warehouse.
Originally, there was no need for Fang Tianlin to come forward for these matters, just let the stewards take care of them, but there were some more important things on board, so Fang Tianlin had to keep an eye on them.If it is less broken, where can he get it?Yanzhou Port is far away from Yunzhou Port, and it would take a few months to go back and forth, so he didn't have that much time to waste on it.
"It's really too hot here." Shen Jiahe loosened his clothes and kept shaking the fan in his hand, but he still couldn't stop the scorching heat.He has lived in Yunzhou City for two years. Although the summer there is hot, it is not so hot.On the side of Yanzhou Port, even the wind blowing head-on could not feel a trace of coolness.
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." Fang Tianlin raised his head from his job bowl upon hearing this, and looked at his daughter-in-law who was complaining with him funny. The wind was blowing to his side, so it's no wonder it wasn't hot.
Fang Tianlin didn't show anything on his face, but he was happy in his heart.His daughter-in-law is so heartwarming, he must cherish it.Thinking of this, he speeded up his meal.
"Go, go back to the inn."
It was noon, not the time to do business, Fang Tianlin planned to go back to the lease to take a rest before acting.
Looking at the three sons who were sweating profusely, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe didn't say anything, they just wiped their sweat carefully.It's better for boys to be skinny, and they don't have to be restrained too much, which suppresses their nature.
"Daddy, Father, it's so hot!" The triplets looked at their parents eagerly.
"It'll cool off when you get back, bear with it for a while." Fang Tianlin raised the corners of his eyes, thinking that you didn't feel hot when you were playing, why are you starting to scream now?In the end, Fang Tianlin held back and didn't say these words out of his mouth.Children, it is their nature to play around, and it is too normal to ignore everything when they are playing.This is the same for adults. When focusing on one thing, people can block everything around them, and the body will naturally protest afterwards.
Fang Tianlin was thinking while walking.There was no ice at Yanzhou Port, it seems that Master Ansan and the others couldn't reach here.This is not surprising at all, the Jing Dynasty has a vast territory, and the farther away from the royal city, the weaker the court's control over the place.Yanzhou Port is a border port, and local powerful forces are entrenched. It may be quite difficult for outsiders to intervene here.The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, which is vividly reflected here.
Master An San and the others are not good at it, and it may be very difficult for the Shen family to get a share of it.Fang Tianlin was not discouraged because of this, the local tyrants were much easier to deal with than the imperial court, and he was really not afraid of them.
As soon as he entered the house, Fang Tianlin asked the waiter in the shop to bring some buckets of water, and they made it themselves if there was no ice.If the mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain. He still has this flexibility.
It's just that in this way, the family has to pay attention when going in and out, and the doors and windows are closed, so that outsiders can't see the clues.
"No ice in the morning?" Fang Tianlin was puzzled, his wife was not so rigid.
"I used it, I was afraid of being seen by others, so I did a little bit. It took me a while to go out." Shen Jiahe pointed to a small washbasin in the corner of the room and said.It was a pity to him that the ice cubes he had prepared earlier were used up on the way. If he could persist until this point, he would be able to use the ice openly. Why would he need to be so sneaky?
After taking a quick shower with water, the five members of the Shen family fell asleep with the coolness.
On this voyage, Fang Tianlin brought out a total of more than 200 people, and nearly half of them were boatmen.It’s not a small expense for these people to eat, drink, sleep and sleep every day. He is not a sage who cuts meat and feeds eagles. He raises them and naturally asks them to work for his family.
In the next few days, except for the boatman who stayed at the pier, the rest of the people were assigned to take action.
The layout of Yanzhou Port and Yunzhou Port is similar, and the end of the road from the wharf to the outside world is Yanzhou City.Yanzhou City is just a state city, one level lower than Yunzhou City, and its prosperity cannot be compared with Yunzhou City. Even so, it is far from what Fuyang County can match.
Fang Tianlin quickly found a buyer and cleared out the goods in his hand.As for the price, it has been suppressed a bit, and Fang Tianlin can still accept it.When he first arrived here, it would be unwise for him, an outsider, to be aggressive. Give people some sweets and get closer to each other. In the future, they can be used as a starting point to slowly open up the situation.
Afterwards, Fang Tianlin bought a house in the city, which was not big, only two feet deep, as a foothold for them to enter and leave Yanzhou Port in the future.After buying the house, naturally it can't be left empty. Fang Tianlin chose a few people to stay behind and inquire about the news of Yanzhou City. The rest of the people except the boatman will follow him to continue to the destination.
"Jiahe, are all the things loaded into the carriage?" Fang Tianlin didn't take everything into his hands. Except for the two days when he first arrived in Yanzhou Port, Shen Jiahe was more involved in the rest of the time.
"Okay, you can leave at any time." Shen Jiahe looked at the dozens of carriages in front of him, and the smile in his eyes couldn't stop.
"Then go." Fang Tianlin gave an order, and the convoy lined up and drove out of Yanzhou City in batches.
The horses here are not as expensive as Shen Jiahe imagined. Even the horses and carriages cost only thirty taels of silver, which is still within his tolerance.Of course, this is just the most common horse. If it is a good horse, the price will be much higher, and BMW is even more difficult to find.
The Shen family was obviously not rich enough to pursue these things, neither Fang Tianlin nor Shen Jiahe had much desire for these luxuries.
After the convoy assembled outside the city, the Shen family and their party went straight to the target.
The carrier pigeons were all released and moved around the convoy, while Zhao Cai Jin Bao accompanied Shen Jiahe and the triplets on both sides of the carriage, and Fang Tianlin followed on horseback.
"Cuckoo."
Pigeon No. [-] landed on Fang Tianlin's shoulder, stretched out its wings, and the tip of the wings pointed to the back of the convoy.
Fang Tianlin smiled helplessly. His pigeons are smart, but he can't understand bird language. Apart from knowing what's going on behind the scenes, one person and one bird are like chickens talking to ducks, so they can't communicate at all.
Fang Tianlin fed it a few grains of third-generation wheat, patted it on the head, motioned for it to follow, and then summoned the guards to check behind.
The binoculars are a good thing, and Fang Tianlin sacrificed them as soon as they reached the end of the line.Through the eyepiece, the group of people who thought they were following very covertly had nowhere to hide, and Fang Tianlin saw them clearly.
Fang Tianlin suppressed his smile, his eyes were serious.If it weren't for the limited number of people under his command, and only a few months of training, it is inevitable that there will be losses if he does it with real knives and guns. He will lead the team to take the initiative to attack now.
There are always people in this world who want to get something for nothing, and base their own happiness on the suffering of others, which is really abhorrent.Fang Tianlin privately thinks that keeping this kind of people is a disaster, and when he is capable, he doesn't mind eliminating harm for the people.It just so happens that there are many places where he needs to employ people. As long as they haven't killed anyone, reform through labor is very suitable for them.
It's a pity that it's not right now, these things have to be considered after they settle down, and they can still be avoided for now.
Fang Tianlin put away the binoculars and took the lead to rush towards the gang of robbers.
Seeing more than 20 horses coming straight towards them, the gangsters saw that the situation was not right, and immediately fled.
Fang Tianlin's face was full of black lines, how dare such a mob come out to rob?How did they survive and not be maimed?
Thinking of these was meaningless, and after confirming that there was no tail behind him, Fang Tianlin led his men back to the team.
The border is really chaotic. They left Yanzhou City for only two days, and they encountered a group of road bandits who were full-time or part-time. People can't laugh or cry.
At first the road was flat, but after entering the mountainous area, the mountain road was winding and became very difficult to walk.In some places, horse-drawn carriages were impassable, so they had to take a detour. The original journey of seven or eight days was dragged into more than ten days.
Naturally, those who coveted the supplies of the Shen family's convoy would not be the first to encounter that group. Fang Tianlin did some calculations, and there were six teams in total.Half of them only showed one head, and they retreated voluntarily. The other team was the one that was scared away by Fang Tianlin. Reluctant to retreat in defeat.
"It's finally here." The guards all wiped their sweat in their hearts.This place is really dangerous. They grew up so big, and they have never seen such a messy place. The frontier is really not a place for people!
They were overjoyed too early, Fang Tianlin didn't plan to take the convoy into the city at all, who knows if he can come out after entering?He can still show his ability outside, but after entering the city, he can't let him go, and the carriage is impounded, and he can't do anything.
"Well, why did you stop?" Everyone was puzzled.
"The first team will follow me, and the rest will stay here to take care of the team." Along the way, Fang Tianlin has adopted the management method for these people under the army.For others, they may not be able to do it well, but the order and prohibition are strictly enforced, and now they have formed a conditioned reflex.
As soon as Fang Tianlin gave the order, everyone immediately obeyed, and no one on the court said anything more.
Fang Tianlin took a group of people straight to the county government of Linshan County. He wanted to buy a piece of wasteland to build a village.Of course, this is on the surface. As a food production and breeding base, the real resident is even deeper.
There are few people and a lot of land on the border, and the county government officials are eager to sell all the wasteland to make more money. Seeing Fang Tianlin's generous purchase of more than a thousand acres of valley land that no one wants even if he gives it away, everyone is happy From ear to ear, he didn't even ask for extra fees. The efficiency was extremely high, and all the procedures were completed in less than a quarter of an hour. He was afraid that he would regret it directly after he went to see the place.
Fang Tianlin was politely sent out of the county yamen by the yamen servants, and his attitude was so good. It seems that these county magistrates are poor and crazy, and they still want to do business with him.
"Tianlin, is that Yanzhou Port?" Shen Jiahe's eyes were slightly closed, looking far ahead at the faintly visible harbor.
"Probably so. This is the last port I can see in the southwestern sea area. Going forward, I can only park some small boats. I am afraid that a large cargo ship like ours will not even be able to dock." Fang Tianlin's eyes In a flash of light, here will be the beginning of a new journey.

Shen Zhang scratched his head, his mouth was slightly puckered, but he didn't refute, and he relaxed himself cooperatively, following Shen Huang's strength, he got off the railing.
Seeing that the third younger brother had already made a move, Shen Bi put his little hands behind his back, glanced coolly at the second younger brother, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation of the fathers.
Both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe were aware of the interactions among the children around them, if it wasn't for Shen Huang's quick moves, Shen Jiahe would have taught him a lesson.

"Xiaodong, take someone to investigate, be careful, safety is the most important thing."
"Yes, my boss." Wei Xiaodong suppressed his excitement and scattered with a few brothers.Within a moment, the few people disappeared from everyone's sight, and instantly blended into the surrounding environment like water droplets falling into the sea.

Shen Jiahe put down the food box, took out a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from Fang Tianlin's face.Although Fang Tianlin didn't have to do it himself to carry things, after such a busy schedule, he was already sweating profusely.
"The inn is not far from here. I heard from Wei Xiaodong that you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some here." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, and told the others who were still finishing, "Hurry up, I'll let Guanshi Wen eat in front The shop has ordered meals for you, and everyone has extra meals today, each with a big meat and a small meat, plus a bowl of wine."
As soon as Shen Jiahe's words fell, the people below immediately cheered.Their treatment in the Shen family is pretty good, but not every meal can eat animal meat.They have long been tired of eating things in the sea, so they want to eat some chicken, duck, pork and mutton, and they haven't touched wine for several months.Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that there was wine to drink, and they smacked their mouths twice, thinking of the taste of the contents in the cup very much.
After getting the head start, everyone was full of energy, and the rest of the work was quickly done, and then a group of people, led by Wen Guanshi, rushed towards the food shop, leaving only a few people to guard the warehouse.
Originally, there was no need for Fang Tianlin to come forward for these matters, just let the stewards take care of them, but there were some more important things on board, so Fang Tianlin had to keep an eye on them.If it is less broken, where can he get it?Yanzhou Port is far away from Yunzhou Port, and it would take a few months to go back and forth, so he didn't have that much time to waste on it.
"It's really too hot here." Shen Jiahe loosened his clothes and kept shaking the fan in his hand, but he still couldn't stop the scorching heat.He has lived in Yunzhou City for two years. Although the summer there is hot, it is not so hot.On the side of Yanzhou Port, even the wind blowing head-on could not feel a trace of coolness.
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." Fang Tianlin raised his head from his job bowl upon hearing this, and looked at his daughter-in-law who was complaining with him funny. The wind was blowing to his side, so it's no wonder it wasn't hot.
Fang Tianlin didn't show anything on his face, but he was happy in his heart.His daughter-in-law is so heartwarming, he must cherish it.Thinking of this, he speeded up his meal.
"Go, go back to the inn."
It was noon, not the time to do business, Fang Tianlin planned to go back to the lease to take a rest before acting.
Looking at the three sons who were sweating profusely, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe didn't say anything, they just wiped their sweat carefully.It's better for boys to be skinny, and they don't have to be restrained too much, which suppresses their nature.
"Daddy, Father, it's so hot!" The triplets looked at their parents eagerly.
"It'll cool off when you get back, bear with it for a while." Fang Tianlin raised the corners of his eyes, thinking that you didn't feel hot when you were playing, why are you starting to scream now?In the end, Fang Tianlin held back and didn't say these words out of his mouth.Children, it is their nature to play around, and it is too normal to ignore everything when they are playing.This is the same for adults. When focusing on one thing, people can block everything around them, and the body will naturally protest afterwards.
Fang Tianlin was thinking while walking.There was no ice at Yanzhou Port, it seems that Master Ansan and the others couldn't reach here.This is not surprising at all, the Jing Dynasty has a vast territory, and the farther away from the royal city, the weaker the court's control over the place.Yanzhou Port is a border port, and local powerful forces are entrenched. It may be quite difficult for outsiders to intervene here.The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, which is vividly reflected here.
Master An San and the others are not good at it, and it may be very difficult for the Shen family to get a share of it.Fang Tianlin was not discouraged because of this, the local tyrants were much easier to deal with than the imperial court, and he was really not afraid of them.
As soon as he entered the house, Fang Tianlin asked the waiter in the shop to bring some buckets of water, and they made it themselves if there was no ice.If the mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain. He still has this flexibility.
It's just that in this way, the family has to pay attention when going in and out, and the doors and windows are closed, so that outsiders can't see the clues.
"No ice in the morning?" Fang Tianlin was puzzled, his wife was not so rigid.
"I used it, I was afraid of being seen by others, so I did a little bit. It took me a while to go out." Shen Jiahe pointed to a small washbasin in the corner of the room and said.It was a pity to him that the ice cubes he had prepared earlier were used up on the way. If he could persist until this point, he would be able to use the ice openly. Why would he need to be so sneaky?
After taking a quick shower with water, the five members of the Shen family fell asleep with the coolness.
On this voyage, Fang Tianlin brought out a total of more than 200 people, and nearly half of them were boatmen.It’s not a small expense for these people to eat, drink, sleep and sleep every day. He is not a sage who cuts meat and feeds eagles. He raises them and naturally asks them to work for his family.
In the next few days, except for the boatman who stayed at the pier, the rest of the people were assigned to take action.
The layout of Yanzhou Port and Yunzhou Port is similar, and the end of the road from the wharf to the outside world is Yanzhou City.Yanzhou City is just a state city, one level lower than Yunzhou City, and its prosperity cannot be compared with Yunzhou City. Even so, it is far from what Fuyang County can match.
Fang Tianlin quickly found a buyer and cleared out the goods in his hand.As for the price, it has been suppressed a bit, and Fang Tianlin can still accept it.When he first arrived here, it would be unwise for him, an outsider, to be aggressive. Give people some sweets and get closer to each other. In the future, they can be used as a starting point to slowly open up the situation.
Afterwards, Fang Tianlin bought a house in the city, which was not big, only two feet deep, as a foothold for them to enter and leave Yanzhou Port in the future.After buying the house, naturally it can't be left empty. Fang Tianlin chose a few people to stay behind and inquire about the news of Yanzhou City. The rest of the people except the boatman will follow him to continue to the destination.
"Jiahe, are all the things loaded into the carriage?" Fang Tianlin didn't take everything into his hands. Except for the two days when he first arrived in Yanzhou Port, Shen Jiahe was more involved in the rest of the time.
"Okay, you can leave at any time." Shen Jiahe looked at the dozens of carriages in front of him, and the smile in his eyes couldn't stop.
"Then go." Fang Tianlin gave an order, and the convoy lined up and drove out of Yanzhou City in batches.
The horses here are not as expensive as Shen Jiahe imagined. Even the horses and carriages cost only thirty taels of silver, which is still within his tolerance.Of course, this is just the most common horse. If it is a good horse, the price will be much higher, and BMW is even more difficult to find.
The Shen family was obviously not rich enough to pursue these things, neither Fang Tianlin nor Shen Jiahe had much desire for these luxuries.
After the convoy assembled outside the city, the Shen family and their party went straight to the target.
The carrier pigeons were all released and moved around the convoy, while Zhao Cai Jin Bao accompanied Shen Jiahe and the triplets on both sides of the carriage, and Fang Tianlin followed on horseback.
"Cuckoo."
Pigeon No. [-] landed on Fang Tianlin's shoulder, stretched out its wings, and the tip of the wings pointed to the back of the convoy.
Fang Tianlin smiled helplessly. His pigeons are smart, but he can't understand bird language. Apart from knowing what's going on behind the scenes, one person and one bird are like chickens talking to ducks, so they can't communicate at all.
Fang Tianlin fed it a few grains of third-generation wheat, patted it on the head, motioned for it to follow, and then summoned the guards to check behind.
The binoculars are a good thing, and Fang Tianlin sacrificed them as soon as they reached the end of the line.Through the eyepiece, the group of people who thought they were following very covertly had nowhere to hide, and Fang Tianlin saw them clearly.
Fang Tianlin suppressed his smile, his eyes were serious.If it weren't for the limited number of people under his command, and only a few months of training, it is inevitable that there will be losses if he does it with real knives and guns. He will lead the team to take the initiative to attack now.
There are always people in this world who want to get something for nothing, and base their own happiness on the suffering of others, which is really abhorrent.Fang Tianlin privately thinks that keeping this kind of people is a disaster, and when he is capable, he doesn't mind eliminating harm for the people.It just so happens that there are many places where he needs to employ people. As long as they haven't killed anyone, reform through labor is very suitable for them.
It's a pity that it's not right now, these things have to be considered after they settle down, and they can still be avoided for now.
Fang Tianlin put away the binoculars and took the lead to rush towards the gang of robbers.
Seeing more than 20 horses coming straight towards them, the gangsters saw that the situation was not right, and immediately fled.
Fang Tianlin's face was full of black lines, how dare such a mob come out to rob?How did they survive and not be maimed?
Thinking of these was meaningless, and after confirming that there was no tail behind him, Fang Tianlin led his men back to the team.
The border is really chaotic. They left Yanzhou City for only two days, and they encountered a group of road bandits who were full-time or part-time. People can't laugh or cry.
At first the road was flat, but after entering the mountainous area, the mountain road was winding and became very difficult to walk.In some places, horse-drawn carriages were impassable, so they had to take a detour. The original journey of seven or eight days was dragged into more than ten days.
Naturally, those who coveted the supplies of the Shen family's convoy would not be the first to encounter that group. Fang Tianlin did some calculations, and there were six teams in total.Half of them only showed one head, and they retreated voluntarily. The other team was the one that was scared away by Fang Tianlin. Reluctant to retreat in defeat.
"It's finally here." The guards all wiped their sweat in their hearts.This place is really dangerous. They grew up so big, and they have never seen such a messy place. The frontier is really not a place for people!
They were overjoyed too early, Fang Tianlin didn't plan to take the convoy into the city at all, who knows if he can come out after entering?He can still show his ability outside, but after entering the city, he can't let him go, and the carriage is impounded, and he can't do anything.
"Well, why did you stop?" Everyone was puzzled.
"The first team will follow me, and the rest will stay here to take care of the team." Along the way, Fang Tianlin has adopted the management method for these people under the army.For others, they may not be able to do it well, but the order and prohibition are strictly enforced, and now they have formed a conditioned reflex.
As soon as Fang Tianlin gave the order, everyone immediately obeyed, and no one on the court said anything more.
Fang Tianlin took a group of people straight to the county government of Linshan County. He wanted to buy a piece of wasteland to build a village.Of course, this is on the surface. As a food production and breeding base, the real resident is even deeper.
There are few people and a lot of land on the border, and the county government officials are eager to sell all the wasteland to make more money. Seeing Fang Tianlin's generous purchase of more than a thousand acres of valley land that no one wants even if he gives it away, everyone is happy From ear to ear, he didn't even ask for extra fees. The efficiency was extremely high, and all the procedures were completed in less than a quarter of an hour. He was afraid that he would regret it directly after he went to see the place.
Fang Tianlin was politely sent out of the county yamen by the yamen servants, and his attitude was so good. It seems that these county magistrates are poor and crazy, and they still want to do business with him.
