The East China Sea is vast and there are many islands, and during the three-day inspection, the manpower of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals was obviously insufficient, and the progress of the search was unusually slow.

Lu Zheng waited at a fixed location almost every day, but there was no harvest. This time when he came to the Zhoushan Islands, he ordered Liu Neng to come with a team of shrimp soldiers in advance.

The sea at night, the endless inky and gloomy sea. The water crashed against the reef with a loud sound like a bell and a drum. The waves roared and swayed, sweeping in from the dark distance with their mouths wide open.

In a haven made of reefs, Lu Zheng waited quietly, and the white fox squatted at his feet, looking into the distance. The owl flickered its wings and stood lazily on the reef.

"Engong, the slave family thinks that if they can have a house by the sea, how convenient it would be. I can guard the sea every day, and I can go to the sea whenever I want. ”

"Good advice. Lu Zheng nodded with a smile and said: "It is true that you should buy a house by the sea, preferably a large villa with sea view, facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming." ”

"Damn, it's okay to have a little ambition. The owl muttered, "As a dragon king, my vision is too short-sighted. If it's this seat, just build a small island, then it's called magnificent. A private island, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a soft sandy beach, plenty of sunshine, and most importantly, the freedom to be uninhibited, without even having to wear clothes, is simply exciting. ”

"Being an island owner like Huang Yaoshi Wei Xiaobao is quite exciting. Lu Zheng snorted and said, "It's not just you who think about it. I've thought about it for a long time, but you know where we're now, the national conditions don't allow the sale of small islands, at most it's development contracting. There are also various constraints. It's easy to buy small islands, and in distant Europa, there is a country whose government is bankrupt and is now selling islands in large quantities for no more than tens of millions. It's easy to buy. But for the current development plan, it does not help much. The roots are in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, which is too far away. ”

"The sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the bird is flying, I am afraid of his ball, depending on your ability. Even if you occupy the island in the East China Sea, who can control you?" the owl grinned: "It's a big deal to take your relatives and friends into the Dragon Palace, anyway, the place is very big." ”

"yes, no one can stop me. Lu Zheng smiled bitterly: "But who can guarantee that they can accept this kind of life and accept this kind of distance from society." A life surrounded by fish and shrimp all day long?As a dragon king, I can use my strength and will to force others to obey, except for my relatives and friends. ”

The owl shook his head and said, "You're still thinking too much." If you have been elevated to the position of true God, why should you care what the laity think?"

The white fox retorted, "Hey, what do you know about this bird." If Engong becomes one of those gods who keep a fierce face all day long, indulge in cultivation all day long, and have no human touch at all, then it will be boring. ”

"You little fox, what's the hurry. The owl smashed it and said, "That's what I said." It doesn't really matter. Anyway, the gods dissipated, heaven and earth, let them go. In a word. Whether it's a god, a human, or a demon, just be happy. Back in the day, this seat lived alone on the top of the mountain, every day with a flock of birds as a companion, fierce beasts as neighbors, thirsty rain and dew. When you are hungry and have good food, you can go out and soar twice from time to time. Free. Happier than the gods. ”

A philosopher once said: The most important thing to be a human being is to be happy. Are you hungry or not. I'll give it to you.

For Lu Zheng, what is the purpose of being a god is also to be happy.

Lu Zheng was silent, since inheriting the Dragon Palace, his heart has begun to change with the growth of strength, and the only factor that can restrain his choice is the fetters of feelings.

There will always be islands, and sooner or later the truth will have to be told. But it is clear that the right time is not yet right.

After refining the entire Qingjiang River, the accumulation of Tianshui True Liquid was just able to activate the Water Dragon Diagram. The scale of the Dragon Palace can only temporarily stay in Hebo Water Mansion, and there is still some distance from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

When the Dragon Palace is really established, and the career of the mortal world is also formalized, perhaps the time is ripe to show one's identity.

Another big wave swept over, and there was a purple-black shadow surging on the tip of the wave, it was Liu Neng. From a distance, its body is full of jewels, and it is draped with strings of pearl necklaces.

Wow, Liu Neng rushed ashore with great excitement, the shrimp claws were loosened, a pile of coins fell with a bang, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are happy." ”

"Get out, you're happy. ”

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and picked up two coins from the ground. Some of the coins are not the usual round shape, but rectangular, half a finger long and about two centimeters wide, with a layer of rust on the coins, and the weight is also very heavy.

After wiping the rust, you can vaguely see a simple pattern, and there are two words on the back: 'Erzhu'. There are also some oval ones engraved with the words 'Pure Gold Judgment'.

"Where did you find this?"

Wipe off the rust and you can see gold, which should be ancient gold coins.

"Back to Your Majesty. Liu Neng waved the shrimp claw and said happily: "I found it in the sea." ”

"Nonsense. ”

"Uh......" Liu Neng lowered his head, pointed to the ocean in the distance, and said cautiously: "After receiving His Majesty's order, the minister immediately worked non-stop, riding the wind and waves, turning over the river and the sea, and after a long journey...... On the way, I met a group of big yellow croakers and two big squid......"

"Getting to the point. ”

Lu Zheng looked at Liu Neng with some pain, the wisdom of the shrimp soldier is indeed not complimentary, even after the teaching of the white fox, the highest level is about the same as a primary school student.

"Oh. Liu Neng responded and nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister found a sunken ship on the road, and these coins and necklaces were found from the sunken ship." ”

"How many more?"

"There are many, many more, many, many large bottles, too many to hold. ”

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Have you remembered the location?"

"Noted down. In accordance with His Majesty's order, the minister sent two shrimp soldiers to guard it. ”

"Well done. Lu Zheng checked the gold coins in his hand, if he didn't guess wrong, these gold coins should be ancient Dongying gold coins, the one that says 'Erzhu' is two cents of gold, and the pure gold judgment is one or two gold.

The East China Sea has been a major maritime trade route since ancient times, and the Zhoushan Islands were the maritime Silk Road in the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, commerce and technology were highly developed, and the Maritime Silk Road was unprecedentedly prosperous, with countless porcelain, jade, ironware, pearls, gold, jade, and so on.

According to conservative estimates, there are more than 200 merchant ships sunk on the maritime Silk Road, not only in China, but also in Dongying, Dashi, Champong, Zhenla, Baida and other countries.

In the twenties of the nineteenth century, there were German businessmen salvaged a shipwreck in the East China Sea, and there were more than 60,000 pieces of ceramic products such as Tang Sancai, Xingyao plates, blue and white flower painting plates, and Yue kiln secret color porcelain, among which there were two very rare and valuable Tang blue flowers.

Salvage a sunken ship, and you can get rich overnight.

200 shipwrecks, that sounds like a lot. However, for most people, looking for a shipwreck in the open sea is not as good as buying two tickets to win. Even if it is found, the cost of salvage is just as huge.

However, for Lu Zheng, neither of these issues is a problem. For him, the sea near Zhoushan is his own safe ATM.

At least Lu Zheng clearly knew that in the waters near Baijie Mountain in the Zhoushan Islands, there was a famous modern shipwreck, the Taiping Ship.

On the eve of liberation, the luxury freighter of the China United Steamship Company, loaded with a large number of wealthy businessmen who had fled overseas, collided with a coal carrier in the waters of the Zhoushan Islands and sank into the sea.

In addition to the passengers, it also carried a large number of important documents and silver dollars from the central bank at the time, and it was rumored that it was a gold ship that was responsible for transporting gold into the island in the later stages of the Civil War. In a secret telegram after the wreck, it was revealed that at least 200 boxes of gold were on board.

It is difficult to distinguish whether the rumors of gold are true or false, but it is clearly recorded in the official information that the ship carried 200 boxes of Yinyang, each of which was worth 5,000 yuan at the time, with a total price of 1 million yuan, and these Yinyang are worth at least 10 million yuan now.

"Liu Neng. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"Anything else you've discovered?"

"Tell Your Majesty that when the minister came, he heard that the governor had also discovered a shipwreck, but the minister came in a hurry, and I don't know what the details were. ”

Lu Zheng paced a few steps, nodded and said: "You go back and tell the prime minister, let it allocate 50 shrimp soldiers to you, and focus on patrolling the waters near Baijie Mountain in the past two days, there is likely to be a sunken ship here." ”

"Yes. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Flipped the gold coin in his hand, there was a clanging sound in his palm, and the corner of Lu Zheng's mouth smiled slightly, this is just the beginning, and it is not a dream to be rich and rival the country. (To be continued)
