Before the spices of the fleet were processed and set sail again, Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Shigui finally came up with the final result, since Feng Ang sincerely wanted to join in and did everything possible to show goodwill, then let's take him to play.

After getting the letter, Feng Ang made it clear that he would send several sons to personally lead the boat and participate in the next wave of trips to Spice Island.

Now the other noble families can finally rest assured, it seems that Feng Ang is really sincere, not to play tricks.

What is the difference between his own sons entering the fleet and sending hostages to the door?

Surrounded by the fleets of other nobles, as well as the three powerful warships of the Lin family, they didn't run away at all, so the others were relieved.

The tense atmosphere in private has eased up a lot, at least there is no need to let everyone sit on their backs and be ready to play for their lives at any time.

Lin Sen also felt that a guy was much more relaxed, and the depressing atmosphere over Lingnan felt swept away.

Recently, the group of non-local officials from Ziguang Mansion who have been a little worried can finally sleep well.

Cheng Yanjin and they naturally have their own abacus, and if they want to fight Feng An, it is not that they can't do it, Li Shimin will definitely give them some arbitrary rights if they send them to such a position.

If they feel that Feng Ang's side is suitable for fighting, they will definitely not be afraid of a battle, since they are military generals, how can there be a reason for cowardice.

But if you really start fighting, let's not talk about whether there is a good excuse and opportunity, the key is that it is easy to drag the whole of Lingnan into the quagmire.

Due to the problem of the composition of the local personnel, and also considering the existence of the Feng family and the Xian family and other similar toasts, the rule of the local people has been long enough, so long that many people have adapted to this model, and even have a strong sense of belonging.

Even if it really conquers the entire territory of Lingnan, it is likely to face a situation of beacon fire everywhere, if rebellions occur one after another, and every time there is stability forever, then this place will still be of a good use, and it will only become a drag on the entire Tang Dynasty, including their nobles.

And at present, Datang is mobilizing forces and is ready to teach Tuyuhun, the leader of the rabbits, to be a man, and a stable Lingnan is obviously more in line with the needs of Datang at the moment.

It is not that Datang cannot support such a two-front battle, and after fully absorbing the power of the Turks, the growth and progress of Datang's national strength is obvious.

Especially the many good things that Lin Sen took out to help, God can also be regarded as giving face, and the last few years have been good years, so there is still the confidence to fight like this.

But there is really no need to take such a risk, especially when Feng Ang himself really has no objection.

In addition, there is another problem that cannot be bypassed, that is, with the existing navigation capacity, most of them can only take the way of sailing along the coastline, long-distance direct navigation across the sea, the technical reserve is not enough, and there is a lack of sufficient talents.

If you want to go to Spice Island, Lingnan is an absolutely unavoidable range, after all, thousands of miles of coastline are placed there, and you can't do it at the moment if you go to other places without it.

And important ports and supply depots such as Hepu and Yazhou are all directly or indirectly controlled by Feng An.

It's really a war with him, not to mention that Lin Sen and them can't go to the sea for a while, anyway, if they want to sail away, it's not a little bit difficult.

Even if you can really bypass them, there will be too much delay on the road, and you will have to travel a long way to handle the goods, no matter how you look at it, it will delay making money.

Therefore, it is obvious that it is not advisable to fight a war, and the gains outweigh the losses, but there are many benefits of win-win cooperation.

With Feng An, the largest land-sitting household, involved, not to mention monopolizing the spice business in Lingnan, at least everything is easy to do, and the advantage is not too big.

It can also better protect the profits of spices, and there is basically no need to worry about anyone peeping at this line.

And the reason why Feng Ang's side is so active and does not have the idea of forcing Lin Sen to monopolize this line is mainly because he has been under pressure recently.

The internal non-stop battle was ignored, but Cheng Biting Jin's threat made him dare not do too much.

Coupled with the fact that more and more veterans are coming to Lingnan, he can't do it to the extent that he used to cover the sky with one hand.

The current situation is actually somewhat similar to that of both sides, either everyone sits at the same table, makes this cake bigger, and then each person has a piece, or they have to flip the table and do a game.

The former still has something to eat, and it is well done, and it can still be eaten with a mouth full of oil, and the latter can only be unlucky together, so why bother, it is naturally better to choose win-win cooperation.

Of course, there will definitely be a little careful thinking in private, and it will definitely not be able to really work together, but it will be consistent in the general direction and not harm their respective interests, so this cooperation will be negotiated.

In this way, after the three warships such as the Ping An finished their cargo and completed the repair, the ships under the nobles of each family were also added, and a fleet of ships of a large scale was slowly formed.

Among them, the Feng family has the largest number of sea ships, and originally this place in Lingnan includes many port cities, as well as many people who live by the sea. The Feng family has been operating here for so many years, and there is naturally no shortage of ships and sailors.

It's just that for the sake of secrecy, and not wanting the location of the Spice Island to be revealed, only the strongest ships and the most loyal seamen were selected.

It is also for the same reason that there are not many merchant ships that can be sent by the families of the nobles, after all, there are few who have power on the seaside, and there are very few who have commanded the naval army, and it is not easy to get these reliable manpower.

There are even two of them, which are simply produced by the shipyard under Lin Sen's hands, and the appearance is very similar to the Jixiang and Ruyi, but the materials are more than one step worse, which can be regarded as their streamlined and low-profile versions, only in the main parts, those good wood with top hardness are used.

The main reason is that the cost of this thing is too expensive, even if Lin Sen gave the Cheng family and the Qin family a friendship price, but after all, the cost of good wood is there, and they will feel that their heads will sink after such a ship is built.

Even if the wood is not a problem for Lin Sen, it can't be revealed to the outside world, and it is naturally the price given according to the situation of good wood on the market.

Immediately after the launch of the Jixiang and Ruyi, the two new ships began to be built in the dockyard.

As for why the Lin family didn't continue to make the best ones for home use? Isn't this clear, there are no sailors in the Lin family who can be trusted.

The sailors on the Jixiang and Ruyi are all borrowed from the families of the major nobles, and some slave sailors will be gradually trained to come out and slowly replace them, but at the moment, there is really no one to drive the ship, so they can only be cheap Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin.

The fleet has been dispatched in a huge way, and Lin Sen's side can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, at least for now, Feng An's side is sincerely cooperating, which is a good signal for the situation in the entire Lingnan, and he, a guy with a heavy responsibility, can be more relaxed.

I just don't know how Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui behaved on Tuyuhun's side?

In addition, Lin Sen misses his wife and children a little bit.

Before, he tried to keep himself busy as much as possible, just to think less about it, but now that he is relaxed, he can't help but think about those characters on the Chang'an side.
