After determining Lin Sen's meaning, the one-eyed pirate leader was already cheering in his heart, and there were obviously people in the team behind him who understood the deep meaning, the original unpleasant whispers had been replaced by excited discussions, if it weren't for Lin Sen and they were here, they probably couldn't help but shout words like "rob his mother".

In fact, Lin Sen restricted them slightly, telling them to avoid plundering Silla merchant ships as much as possible, let alone touching those Tang merchant ships, but the benefits were more sufficient.

As long as these people are not robbed, others such as the Wa Kingdom or Baekje and the like, they can just rob them, and there is also the meaning of carrying them for them, which can be said to be a semi-legalization of their piracy.

Although they would definitely not admit it on the face, it was certain to pretend not to know that they had done it, so that they would not have to face the purging of the regular army under Lin Sen.

No matter how strong their background is, they will definitely not be able to be armed to the teeth like the Ping'an, and all kinds of powerful killing weapons can be used casually, otherwise Datang will not be messed up.

The management of the big killer is far stricter than imagined, Lin Sen only dared to play like that when he was covered by the emperor, and the auspicious number and the ruyi number were not so exaggerated.

These de facto pirate ships must have been somewhat modified, but the increase in power was also limited, and the combat power was more reflected in the broadside battle, a group of semi-professional fighters led by a group of well-trained veterans, against some ordinary crew members who may have some combat experience, the outcome of the battle was often predestined from the beginning.

But after all, it is an ordinary merchant ship, if they face a more well-armed officer and army, whether it is the disadvantage of the warship or the difference in combat power between the soldiers, they have no chance of winning, not to mention that the official army still has an absolute numerical advantage.

After all, pirates are pirates, no matter what their background is, once they have the possibility of becoming bigger, they will definitely have to face the key attacks of the government, so this gap in personnel and strength cannot be bridged.

And with Lin Sen's guarantee, they can let go of their hands and feet to work, and it can be said that they have no worries at all, and the problem that bothered them the most in the past was actually to be vigilant against the pursuit of officials and soldiers at any time, especially the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

The bigger good news is that the last meaning revealed by Lin Sen is actually to let them go to the coast of those countries more often, plunder some strong laborers and come back to be used as mine slaves.

As for the whereabouts of these kidnapped guys, who is using them, and what will happen to them, it is obviously not in their consideration, they just need to know that this will be a good business.

It seems easier to bully the fishermen along the shore than to fight the equally temperamental sailors of the prepared merchant ships, especially since it can also play to their advantage.

And Lin Sen of course has his reasons for doing this, first of all, it directly weakens the power of those surrounding countries, although it may not be obvious at first, but it can't help but add up.

These small wounds will continue to bleed these countries, and by the time the Tang Dynasty really goes to war with them, the effects of these small wounds may already be visible.

For example, an empty coastline is convenient for landing, and fewer merchant ships reduce the resistance of naval warfare, etc.

And the immediate benefits are also immediate, such as a larger trade deficit, allowing the Tang Dynasty to obtain greater benefits from maritime trade, and enough mining slaves to be put into the Wa Kingdom.

Well, it was obvious that those of the emperor's henchmen disguised as Lin Sen's fleet were aiming for the Iwami Silver Mountain that Lin Sen had mentioned to Li Shimin before.

For the Tang Dynasty, which is very scarce at the moment and has been repeatedly banned from bad money, silver may be a good substitute, even if it is not used as currency, it is also an extremely considerable wealth after all, and it is very beneficial for the Tang Dynasty that still needs to be restored and developed, as well as the Tang Dynasty, to gradually digest this wealth.

And they have been trying to keep a low profile, because if the local people of the Japanese Kingdom knew that there was such a silver mountain, it was not difficult to imagine how crazy they would be.

And at present, Datang has not yet reached the point of launching a national war in order to go to other homes to grab things, let alone crossing such a long sea route to a distant foreign country.

In order to avoid this kind of battle as much as possible, which is not necessary at the moment, secrecy has become the first choice. It is obviously easier to keep secrets than to use local people, whether actively or forced, or to use some kidnapped miners.

Going to Baekje, where they will inevitably be hostile to the Tang Dynasty in the future, plunders and returns from strong labor, which has become a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

After sending off these excited pirates, Lin Sen went back and continued to ponder what to lead his men to do in order to completely subdue them and use them for his own use, and at the same time to provide a cover for those fleets.

In the future, if this nominally own fleet really becomes a thing, the output is not low, and if it only transports the silver nuggets produced over there, even if it is from the barracks, it will be difficult to guarantee that it will not be targeted by people with intentions for a long time.

It's different if the barracks have their own output, and the team transporting the silver nuggets can be mixed with other teams, so it's definitely not so eye-catching, isn't it.

Keeping the soldiers busy would ensure their loyalty, and it wouldn't make them feel like they had been working for Lin Sen all along, and at the same time, they didn't have the heart to figure out what the fleet was transporting.

After the fleet successfully dropped the people and goods of the Lin family's caravan, it passed through Silla according to the original plan, and then went to the Wa Kingdom.

Although they didn't take this route, there were crew members in the team who had been on an envoy with Pei Shiqing last time, and there was also a road map given by Lin Sen, although it was still not as intuitive as the charts, but it was not too much of a problem to help them find the location of Iwami Ginzan.

There are experienced crews along the road, but they haven't experienced any twists and turns, and with their configuration, the combat power of so many crews is quite impressive.

And in this sea area, there are no bandits who can threaten them at all, and those who are threatened are the gang of their own people that Lin Sen called before, so they ran smoothly all the way to the country of Wa.

However, it took some more time to find the location of Iwami Ginzan, and it was because the place was a bit desolate that no one knew about this extremely productive silver mountain for the time being.

In the end, they managed to find it, and there were several ore prospecting experts on board, who could always play some role, and probably add some luck.

And Lin Sen finally thought of a suitable project, and was preparing to start work with his soldiers.
