In the face of Yang Guogong's betrayal again, the court was simply in a mess. There are those who shout to stop, and there are those who call to hit. However, whenever Empress Dowager Yang asked the hundreds of officials below who were willing to attack Yang Guogong, who had fled to Chaozhou, they all kept their mouths shut, for fear that someone would seize their handle and then be sent to the front line.

has been noisy for a long time, and it has been half a year since Yang Guogong was a matter of Yang Guogong in the DPRK. At this moment, Beiyuan sent someone to ask why the previous envoy had not returned to Beiyuan to resume his life. At this time, the ministers of the DPRK and China began a new round of quarrels, mainly about how to reply to the Northern Yuan.

And Yang Liren, the Duke of Yang Guo, didn't care about how he fell to the ground in the court now, he transferred back to Lixin and let him continue to run Chaozhou, but he led his fleet to the west to open up new territories and trade routes.

The huge fleet finally arrived in Leizhou, which has been around since ancient times, that is, the state ruled by Liren's parents. After Liren saw his parents, his father's first sentence was to scold him with a stinking face, saying that as a prince of the country, why didn't he be loyal to the country, why didn't he serve the court, but rebelled against the court again and again.

But Liren replied with righteous words: "Father, you ask me this, as the current head of the family, I ask you, if your mother is married to the Northern Yuan by the imperial court, what will you do?" Moreover, the current imperial court is not thinking about how to beat Beiyuan down, but thinking about how to make Beiyuan his own Laozi, so as to give his son a way to live! Is a court like this still the Great Song Dynasty of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding ancestor of the Seven Kingdoms of Ping? If you want me to say, it's not~! ”

"Presumptuous, bold~! How can you comment on the court like this, it's a big rebellion~~! "My father is already old, and I was suddenly choked by Liren's words. The mother hurriedly gave Rihito a look, and handed the father fragrant tea to the side, so that his peace could calm his anger.

Li Ren found that he had nothing to talk about with his father now, so he immediately said goodbye to his father and mother, and when he left, Li Ren said to his mother: "Mother, you still move to Chaozhou, and it is better if this official of the court does not do it, so as not to be difficult for me to take care of both sides when I get it." ”

At this time, the mother had no choice but to shake her head helplessly at Liren and said: "Ren'er, don't you know, now your father is no longer the time when he used to be courageous, and his current mood is just to want your brother to be stable, and not to let the Yang family have a big incident." Alas~! ”

At this time, Li Ren had no choice but to give up, and said to his mother: "Mother, if this is the case, then I will leave a team of soldiers to cooperate with the local Bright Holy Sect here, so as to prepare early." But if it goes well, none of these powers will be used. ”

Hearing this, Mi Qin had already guessed that she was not far from ten, and she immediately asked with concern: "Ren'er, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, mother, this time I'm just leading the fleet to Zhancheng and opening up a shipping lane, by the way~" Speaking of this, Liren immediately considered whether to tell his mother.

But the mother asked, "What else do you want to stop by?" Don't say it soon~! ”

"Hehe, mother is nothing, just to build a base in the city, so that the merchant ships and our soldiers can have a zero hour docking point." Liren thought about it, and his mother was always obedient to him, so it was better not to hide it this time. Still, he was hiding most of the real stuff.

Mother knew Liren's ambition, and she was also worried that Liren didn't tell the truth, but she must be a child, so her mother was relieved, and said with concern: "Ren'er, if you go to Zhancheng, you must remember to kill less." ”

"Mother~! I won't, when did you see Ren'er being such a butcher. Hehe! You can rest assured. Li Ren said to his mother with a smile on his lips, but in his heart he thought, kill them all? Then I didn't lose a lot, but one person is a good laborer.

Three days later, he bid farewell to his mother and led the fleet to the small island outside the city, and after burning all the boats of the island's Cham monkeys, he took direct control of the island.

Then he disguised himself and went up to the shore of Champa and came to the southern part of the largest city in Champ. The city here simply can't be compared with a small county town in the Great Song Dynasty, with muddy streets and humid air. Chickens and ducks were running all over the ground, and everyone was dressed almost identically.

But there is no way to do it, now no matter what, we have to inquire clearly, the situation of the garrison in this place, although the people are not afraid of these Champa monkeys, but they must also do labor business in the future, and it is good to find out.

Finally, with the help of a merchant who knew the dialect of Champong, they inquired about the location of the officials here. They turned left and right in the city. Finally, I came to a bamboo building that was taller and more luxurious than the bamboo buildings where other civilians lived. I saw two guards with machetes standing in front of this bamboo building, and there was a tall drum stand in the open space in front of the door, which was obviously imitating the appearance of the Great Song Dynasty official mansion, so that the civilians could avenge their grievances.

The merchant first stepped forward to salute the two guards and explained their intentions, and after the guards carefully checked the customs clearance documents of Liren and others, they nodded and agreed to take them to recommend. After the guards went up to the bamboo building for a long time, Ah Acai came out and led them into the bamboo building.

Entering the bamboo building, he finally met the local officials, and under the translation of the merchants, Li Ren and the others knew that the black fat man in front of them was the supreme governor of this place, and he was not only in charge of politics, but also in charge of the security and military affairs of this place. Rihito just shook his head in his heart, feeling unworthy for this fat monkey.

But thinking about it, the person in front of him obviously doesn't think that he has done too much, but he also thinks that he has done too little, so that his body shape has changed a little now.

Under the merchant's translation, Rihito knew about the official's current distress, but after the official finished complaining, he asked about the intention of Rihito and the others.

At this time, Liren hurriedly smiled at him and said, "Hehe, Lord Li, I am here for nothing else, but to send treasures to my lord." ”

This county official surnamed Li of Zhancheng heard the word treasure through the translation, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately asked: "I don't know why Yang Guogong of the Heavenly Dynasty gave me a small county order gift?" Although he was very moved to hear about the treasure, he also understood the truth that no merit is not rewarded.

After listening to the merchant's translation, Rihito immediately said, "Master Li, I have come here just to do business. ”

"Oh? Yang Guogong, you are a very big official of the Celestial Empire, how can you let you come here in person? The official surnamed Li was suddenly a little skeptical.

Li Ren continued: "Although I am the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, my official position is still very small, that is, Chaozhou is under my management. Lord Li, you must know that I have hundreds of thousands of people under my command, and I will have to manage their food, drink, and Lazar. However, our imperial court has been fighting with the Northern Yuan Dynasty again in recent years, and the emperor does not have much food to give us, so we came out to take risks. I heard that the grain in Champa is harvested twice a year, so we came to do the grain business. ”

"Grain?" The official surnamed Li looked at the priceless treasure in his hand, and was very suspicious of the purpose of Liren and the others, but now the things in his hands are important, as long as they do not harm the interests of themselves and the king, this official is not bothered to care at all. However, he still kindly reminded: "Lord Guogong, although you are a high and powerful person, when you come to occupy the city with me, you must abide by the rules of the city occupied by me." If you do something lawless, even if I let you go, our king will not let you go. ”

"Master Li, don't worry, we are really here to do food business, and there is nothing else. But now we have a bit of a problem, that is, our merchant ships are too large to be close to the shore. Therefore, we would like to buy the small island to the east from you, my lord, as a base for me to settle in Champa. Rihito said as he looked distressed.

The county official surnamed Li suddenly thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the rich island in the east?" ”

Nirvana Island? Li Ren suddenly didn't understand why a desert island had to be called Fugui Island. But since people call it that, they will follow the local customs, and they will immediately affirm: "Yes, this is there." ”

"You want the whole island?" The county official surnamed Li was suddenly a little reluctant.

Rihito winked at his subordinates and immediately took out a small box from the backpack behind him. After Li Ren handed it to the county magistrate surnamed Li, he motioned for him to open it. Suddenly, the county official surnamed Li couldn't close his mouth, and immediately said with greed: "Okay, as long as you pay the starting price, the island will be yours immediately." But you can't do anything wrong there. ”

"Master Li, don't worry, we will definitely not do anything wrong. And in the future, I will make a fortune with adults. Rihito said with a smile.

It was very easy, and they were given a large island to serve as a transit point in Champ, and after getting the paperwork, they immediately used the cement from the transport ship and the trees and stones in the place. It took less than a month to build a tall defensive castle. Of course, half of the original Cham monkeys on the island died because of the construction of this castle.

After the castle was built, Rihito immediately began to build forts and other places on the island, making the island a fortress on the sea.

Two months later, with a team of soldiers, Liren found the county official surnamed Li again, and with his help, Liren purchased at least three ships of grain. Gradually, the county officials surnamed Li became even more dependent on them because of their money, and at this time, Liren made a suggestion to him: "Lord Li, do you know what is the most profitable? ”
