Chapter 279: A Windfall
"Yes, yes", as soon as Yamamoto Tadashi saw Li Xian say this, he immediately made up his mind to give up all his belongings, although he would have nothing from now on, but if he could save a life, it would be worth it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, under the guidance of Yamamoto Tadaichi, Li Xian led his army to a small island, but in fact, there were only more than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people left on this small island, and they were unable to resist the slaughter of the army, and it only took half an hour to kill all the Japanese invaders.
After killing all the resistance forces, Li Xian actually rescued hundreds of people, some of these people were merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and some of them were captured by the Tang Dynasty sailors on the way to Silla, as well as many Silla merchants, and many Silla maids and Kunlun slaves who were taken captive, and of course, there were also family members of the Japanese invaders.
For these people, Li Xian disposed of them separately, for the goods and personnel of the Tang Dynasty merchants, all of them were returned, and the rest was internally digested, while the Silla maid and Kunlun slaves were selected by him and the officers and soldiers on the ship for their own use, and the rest were all rewarded to the Ming and Tang Dynasty merchants, in addition, most of the goods were also rewarded to the crew members who helped in the battle, as a reward for their feat of sacrificing their lives for the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, for the fifty guards under his command, Li Xian naturally did not forget to reward, because this time they also got a full 3 million yuan of money, so Li Xian naturally wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and reward these guards generously, each of them rewarded 100 pieces of money, and distributed the families of those Japanese robbers to them as slaves.
Even so, Li Xian still had more than 2 million yuan of rich money and silk, which Li Xian gave to Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er 100,000 yuan each, and the rest was given to the Ming and Tang Dynasty firms as the start-up funds for the next great voyage plan, and the other part was transported to Chang'an by the Ming and Tang firms as the operating funds of the Tang Gate.
Of course, the people who went to the island to confiscate the goods this time were all Li Xian's cronies, and even the crew sent by the Ming and Tang Dynasty merchants were absolutely loyal to Li Xian, so they naturally would not leak these gains on the island to others, even Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er would not reveal it.
Therefore, the sentry agents sent by Empress Wu would not know how much wealth Li Xian had gained this time, and Li Xian naturally symbolically took out 100,000 pieces of wealth as a cover for reporting to Empress Wu and the emperor.
After making a secret confession, Li Xian left 20 guards and 50 crew members, loaded the proceeds into five large ships, ordered them to quietly send these goods back to Datang, and ordered the remaining personnel to pack the rest of the people and goods into the ship and bring them back to the vicinity of the big ship docked not far away.
The goods that Li Xian brought back were only one-tenth of the value, but they had already caused a lot of amazement, and everyone looked at this big ship full of goods and people with excitement, and cheered loudly.
After this, under the pretext of the urgency of the mission, Li Xian ordered the mission to set off for the Wa Kingdom immediately.
Not long after, Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er all received money and silk from Li Xian, Shangguan Wan'er was okay, she was under the influence of Li Xian, she didn't value property so much, and Li Yiyan saw such a rich fortune for the first time, and his beard was already trembling with excitement, and he strengthened his belief in serving the prince Li Xian.
In fact, after Li Xian saw the goods on the island, he had already selected a batch of fine products from them and quietly hid them in his arms, and he divided these fine products into three parts, one for the crown princess Zhao Yinyue, the other for his sister Princess Taiping, and some for Shangguan Wan'er's mother and daughter.
After the big ship started, Li Xian quietly sent a letter to Shangguan Wan'er, asking her to meet in the cabin of the last ship.
More than a month has passed since she left Chang'an, and this is the first time Li Xian has taken the initiative to meet, Shangguan Wan'er is naturally happy, carefully dressed, and came to the cabin in advance.
But she didn't expect Li Xian to come earlier than her, when she stepped into the dim cabin, she suddenly heard a person laughing softly, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
I saw Li Xian smile and say, "After only this while, you don't know me?" ”
At this time, Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and gently saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
saw Li Xian wave his hand and said, "Wan'er, don't be polite, I came to see you today, mainly because I have some gifts for you." ”
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, haven't you already given away 100,000 yuan of wealth? Such a rich wealth is enough for me to consume, where can I use it again? Shangguan Wan'er said this, with a sweetness in her heart, her face was also like a peach blossom, and she was smiling, it was obvious that Li Xian was able to think of her, and she was so happy.
But he didn't expect Li Xian to smile and say: "Although the 100,000 guan is yours on the surface, it is actually my mother, and it has only passed through your hand, how can this work?" With the friendship between you and me, how can you get nothing? I have a special gift for you today. ”
After Li Xian finished speaking, he took out a sandalwood box from his arms, and then said with a smile: "This is a string of pearl necklaces, each of which is a famous night pearl of the East China Sea, and the most important thing is that each of these beads is the same size, without any flaws, you are also a person who knows the goods, I believe that it can also be estimated, just this string of beads can be worth a fortune." ”
"This, is this really for me?" Although the light in the cabin was dim now, after Li Xian opened the box, Shangguan Wan'er immediately saw the bright and soft light emitted by the string of pearl necklaces, and saw through the light that the mellow night pearls of the East China Sea were indeed priceless treasures, and her hands trembled with excitement.
"Hehe, naturally it's yours, I still have a string of agate bracelets here, which are also superb, so I gave it to the old lady as a gift, by the way, there is also a carved golden phoenix step shake here, which is also a priceless treasure, so I will give it to you together, hehe, how? Are you satisfied with my gift this time? ”
As if by magic, Li Xian took out another box from his arms, opened the box, and smiled at Wan'er.
"Why did you give me all these valuable things? Still, let's give it to the crown princess. Shangguan Wan'er was naturally moved when she saw this brilliant piece of jewelry, but knowing that the combined value of these two pieces of jewelry would even exceed the 100,000 yuan of goods given to her before, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly excused herself.
