When they saw Shi Lei, the Yu Linglong sisters were really surprised. They thought he would definitely stay in Chang'an for the New Year, but they didn't expect to come back.

Although they rarely vomit and anorexia, the symptoms they will experience during pregnancy are probably Shi Lei's transformation, which will improve their bodies qualitatively. Cheng Chuyue's pregnancy period was relatively stable, but they must still think of Shi Lei involuntarily.

They haven't seen each other for several months, so they are particularly obsessed with Shi Lei. Even if they can't do anything, they just lean against Shi Lei, which makes them very satisfied.

This time, they finally no longer have to look at the happy Cheng Chuyue enviously, and can experience the happiness and joy of being a mother by themselves. So they who snuggled next to Shi Lei would smile warmly from time to time, and then gently caress their bulging belly to feel the joy of new life.

In the past few days since he came back, Shi Lei had basically never gone anywhere. He just focused on accompanying the two sisters Yu Linglong, chatting with them, making them happy, taking them out for a walk, and by the way, he could also talk about their situation in Guangzhou during this period.

Although they are pregnant, they are not completely idle and don’t care about anything. They still have to ask about the family affairs in Guangzhou. They are all used to being housekeepers with Cheng Chuyue, and they are also well-deserved hostess here, so they are justified in managing it.

Moreover, after Shi Lei returned this time, he had already discussed with Cheng Chuyue and the others. Shi Lei's idea was to use Guangzhou as a semicolon to operate it for a long time.

Even when the children grow up, if their own strength is really strong to a certain extent, in order to avoid suspicion, there is also the need for diversified investment and multiple insurance, splitting up the family is a good way. Guangzhou will definitely have its own system in form at that time.

Since the two sisters Yu Linglong have children here, they naturally have to choose one of their sons and come here to take charge. After all, Cheng Chuyue is Shi Lei's wife, and Xiao Shiqing is Shi Lei's eldest son. It is basically inevitable to inherit his title and property in Chang'an. It is unlikely that Yu Li and Yu Fa will do other things.

Li Shimin specially established a law for this matter. Although their family has always taken the lead in sabotaging this, they must still have the ability to restrain people like Shi Lei.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to let Xiao Shiqi come here. Unless Shi Lei is extremely disappointed with Shiqi's performance in the future and chooses to exile him, he will be sent to Guangzhou for a long time.

Moreover, Shi Lei's arrangement can ensure that their children can also have a good start. When Shi Lei's accident really happens, they can make sure that they and their descendants can have food and clothing without worries and still live a relatively beautiful life when they really have an accident.

This is also a way Shi Lei thinks to treat his wives fairly relatively, which is a good way to kill multiple deaths in one fell swoop.

Although Shi Lei has not made this clear, the Yu Linglong sisters also know what Shi Lei means, and are very glad that she has indeed found a good husband.

In the Tang Dynasty, concubines exist as a kind of private property. There are many people who are free to transfer them to others. It is absolutely rare to see those who value them as much as Shi Lei. And it is unique to arrange a big industry for them just in case.

Of course, they are more concerned about the industries in Guangzhou. Although they are pregnant, they are not saying that they cannot move. Now, as long as they are not really strenuous exercise, they basically don’t have to worry about posing a danger to their children. And aren’t they without Shi Lei’s company? They have to spend most of their time caring about these industries and enriching themselves with their work.

So Shi Lei didn't have to go and take a look one by one. From them, you can tell the situation and progress of the various industries in Guangzhou.

The big ships that Shi Lei has always been concerned about have finally been built. With the supervision of his own masters, the quality is even better than that flagship, because the manufacturing skills are more proficient, and the things they make are more refined.

Especially the renovation part that the Shi family asked for, when they first came into contact with it, they still created a lot of difficulties. Later, they became familiar with it. The so-called practice makes perfect, and it is also applicable. It is natural that the quality of the entire ship must be better.

Of course, according to the plan set earlier, every time one is built, one must enter the small dock in its own house and be renovated. Now the final stage of arming the large ship has been almost done, and only the weapons installation work of the last two large ships is left.

However, the Star Iron material brought to Guangzhou last time was not enough, so it was not possible to complete it all. Making that large folding crossbow is too consuming iron. After all, basically the whole is made of this powerful material.

Fortunately, Shi Lei was prepared for a long time. He didn't bring much else when he came back this time, so he brought a lot of Star Iron raw materials. I believe that if he worked hard after the New Year, he would not have to wait until the beginning of spring to pack up all these big ships.

After the Chinese New Year, the Shi family's fleet will basically be formed. The ships are in place, and the staff need to be supplemented. However, the backbone of its own sailors has been trained. With the absolutely loyal slaves of the flagship, and the people who are still waiting for their summons in Guangzhou, they are enough to bear the main work of the fleet.

Moreover, with the return of flagships, the trade routes on the sea have been opened. The sea route to Japan is relatively a rare busy route around the Tang Dynasty, but there are really few people who really take this route.

Uncle Yifanshuang said that they had been floating on this sea road for nearly half a year, and they had not seen a few ships in total. There were even some places in Japan that had not been developed at all, and they had never seen the sea ships of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the ordinary farmers in their place were so poor that they were almost out of clothing, the heads of the family were not short of money. Therefore, those exquisite goods from the Tang Dynasty would never have to worry about sales there.

They were originally worshipping all kinds of porcelain and silk from the Tang Dynasty as divine objects, and were proud of owning a good thing native to the Tang Dynasty. When they got such a piece, they would dare to hold a party to greet other familiar nobles together.

The famous local who could trade with Yifanshuang and others would make a profit by re-sale. With such a chance of losing pie from the sky, I almost lost my family's fortune. I wish I could use his poor food and his subordinates to treat Uncle Yi in exchange for high-end goods from the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Uncle Yi and the others are used to ocean trade, and there are also big shopkeepers on the ship who are specializing in doing business. If the things they exchanged for are not more than ten times the profit, they will not take a look at them. They can make more than a hundred times the profit before they can be included in the trading options. If there is a thousand times the profit, they will be exchanged directly.

This is what the ocean trade is like. People risk their lives to get it from a distant place. If there is no sufficient benefit, who would be willing to do it?

Moreover, in an era when information is extremely underdeveloped, communication is basically tyrant, and transportation is basically dependent on travel, we don’t expect that the maritime merchants who have the initiative in information and in a certain sense also have the right to price you mercilessly.

Didn’t those merchants who came to sell spices also use this advantage to gain double the wealth from the Tang Dynasty? It’s really a lot to make.

What is relatively bad about Japan is that they do not have any strong products that can be taken advantage of. They cannot make a part of the difference when they come back, so they naturally have to make a lot of money to be balanced.

Moreover, the reason why Shi Lei temporarily let go of the huge interests of Spice Island and turned to the Japanese line was not only for the group of slave sailors who were not very skilled, but more importantly, it was for Yinshan! Ishimi Yinshan, which can account for one-third of the world's production!
