After a while, Gu Ling'er also came back. This girl had just gone to the merchant ship to learn about the situation.
Lin Bai asked: "Are you okay?"
Gu Ling'er replied: "Don't worry, husband. Fortunately, we arrived in time and the merchant ship was not damaged. Speaking of which..."
It turned out that the merchant ship actually set out from the southwest and was fully loaded with cargo.
Gu Ling'er also learned that not only were merchant ships heading to Changjin County, but also many merchant ships departed from Qinzhou and entered Jiangnan.
Because the southwest side is blocked, the land route is impassable, but it is difficult for the court to control the land and sea.
To put it bluntly, it is smuggling.
As long as the profits are large enough, people who take risks will naturally be indispensable.
Maybe it's because there are fewer pirates these days, which gives many businessmen hope, so...
And in the vast and endless sea, even if there are some pirates, the brave ones still dare to take risks.
After all, Lao Zhu is not a thing. Blockade of the southwest will only injure the enemy a thousand and damage itself eight hundred. The key is that now the southwest no longer needs the inland market, but it will harm the people in the inland.
Waste money and hurt lives.
However, there is really no way to deal with the great talent Lao Zhu.
have to! Let’s go back to Southwest first!
The huge warship continued to go all the way, and they never encountered pirates on the way. Of course, even if there were pirates who saw such a huge warship, they would have been scared away.
Merchant and fishing boats occasionally saw some.
The little girl obviously hasn't had enough.
The King of Ganfan is actually similar. Because his accuracy last time was not enough, he still wants to find a target and try again.
As a result, there was no hair.
A few days later, the warship arrived at Qinzhou safely. Because the Qinzhou and Bozhou were large enough to make the Longjiang impassable, the group had to change to a smaller ship.
It’s time to put the expansion of Longjiang on the agenda.
Lin Bai thought about it, and at the same time assigned a task to the naval battalion. While maintaining the safety of the route, he could practice his skills with pirates, and he could also catch pirates and act as free labor. He could achieve multiple things with one stone.
In addition, he made a special trip to Longfor Shipyard to give high recognition and motivation to the shipyard workers.
It's nothing more than a chicken blood injection.
Zhu Kang seems to have established a firm foothold on the sea. The naval battalion in the southwest must also be established quickly. Just two large warships are definitely not enough. At least two or three fleets must be able to come up with it! Each fleet needs more than ten or twenty ships.
Of course, not all are such large warships, there are also various patrol ships, landing ships, etc.
People of this era did not have this concept, but Pang Song was a genius, so the talented man decided to have a good chat with him about the planning of the fleet, as well as the roles and functions of various warships, and coordinated operations to maximize the power of the fleet. The strongest.
My pupils were bright, and I felt like my mind was completely released.
He looked like he couldn't wait to give it a try.
After explaining the affairs of Longhu Shipyard, the talented man met Qi Renjie again before boarding the ship to Guiling.
Guiling Pier.
Compared to before, this place is much more lively and busy, with all kinds of boats, large and small.
This is because of Lao Zhu's blockade, goods cannot pass through Wangjiang and can only go by sea from Longjiang, otherwise it will be even busier.
"We're here! We're finally here!"
The little girl stood on the deck and cheered.
The girls were similar, and they all looked a little excited.
Chu Jingmeng was no exception. She had a happy look on her face. She couldn't be happier to have returned to her son's territory. There were so many filial wives waiting for her, and there were several grandchildren waiting. She couldn't help but think about it. Raise.
Chu Xiangyun looked curious. After all, she had never been here before.
In comparison, Wu Qiaojun and Gu Ling'er were much calmer.
"Sister, it's eldest sister, I see eldest sister."
The little girl had sharp eyes and waved desperately towards the dock.
as expected! The Iron Lady came, and she was holding little Susu in her arms. The little guy could almost walk. At this moment, he seemed to have seen his aunt, and he was grabbing at her with both hands.
Beside the Iron Lady, there were Qin Kexin, Yan Ruxue, and the old lady.
That's right! The old lady also came, Caiyun was pushing her.
Thanks to the development of the southwest, although Guiling is not a new city, the roads have been cemented and are extremely smooth.
The talented man saw that the elderly woman was getting tired from going anywhere, so he took the time to get her a wheelchair.
With this thing and the smooth road surface, it's good to push it out for a spin occasionally. It's like being stuck at home all day long.
However, it was actually pushed directly to the dock, which was beyond the talented man's expectations.
Chu Jingmeng was obviously surprised.
The group quickly disembarked from the boat.
"Little Susu, hurry up! Give my aunt a hug, she misses you so much!"
The little girl ran straight away and took the little Susu from the iron lady's hand. The little guy was quite happy at first. After all, he hadn't seen the second-rate aunt for so long, but after being kissed a few times by the aunt, , suddenly became a little impatient, as if he was about to lose his temper.
The little girl smiled and took out a lot of delicious and fun things from her pocket like magic.
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up and his mouth watered.
Wu Qiaojun and Gu Ling'er also stepped forward to look at the little guy, pinched his pink little face, and liked it very much.
Lin Bai looked at Qin Kexin and asked, "Where is little Qin Qin? Why didn't you bring him?"
Su Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Pingzhi is only a few months old. He can't be exposed to the wind at such a young age."
All right!
The talented man curled his lips to show that he didn't understand, while Qin Kexin pursed her lips and smiled.
Chu Jingmeng came directly to the old lady, squatted down, and called softly, "Mother Concubine!"
"Okay! Okay! Just come back!"
The old lady stroked her cheek, her eyes were a little moist, but her face was full of joy.
"Meet grandma!"
The girls didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly saluted the old lady.
The old lady kept saying yes, and finally her eyes fell on Chu Xiangyun's face, "Girl, we meet again. Grandma thought she would never have a chance to see you again."
Chu Xiangyun said hurriedly: "Grandma, how could it be? You will definitely live a long life."
The old lady chuckled: "Then grandma is no longer an old witch."
After saying that, she looked at Chu Xiangyun's face carefully and asked, "Where is the scar?"
Chu Xiangyun smiled playfully, "I forgot to post it, I'm sorry grandma, I didn't mean to lie to you on purpose..."
Naturally, the old lady wouldn't be offended and said with a smile: "If I had known you were so beautiful, grandma wouldn't have given you the jade pendant. It would have been a waste for Xiaobai."
Chu Xiangyun chuckled and said, "I've already given you everything, I can't go back on it."
The girls were a little confused.
However, Lin Bai had already learned that the jade pendant was actually an engagement gift between his father and his mother. Giving it to Chu Xiangyun was equivalent to telling Chu Jingmeng that this was the granddaughter-in-law that the old lady liked. Since the granddaughter-in-law has chosen her, then the grandson will naturally also choose it. Know where.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Jingmeng originally asked Chu Xiangyun whether the jade pendant was for her or Chu Xiangyun.
Just return it to Chu Jingmeng.
The meaning to Chu Xiangyun was completely different, which was why Chu Jingmeng was so excited at the beginning.
"Okay, let's go home first and then talk about it!"
Lin Bai said, "By the way, has the third child given birth?"
