When the fleet returned to the Lion City, the entire harbor immediately boiled, and those Tang merchants who stayed in Sumatra and Java to do business had already gathered in the newly built Lion Port and were looking forward to the fleet for a few days.

On this trip to the South China Sea, whether it was the Four Seas Trading Company, or all the families and wealthy merchants, and even the Japanese who came with them, they all made a lot of money, and many families and businessmen had actually lost their minds to find the Spice Island.

The Tang merchants have almost scavenged all the gold, silver and good things in the local area, and have made too much money, why don't you hurry back? Staying here, although there are battleships to protect me, I don't feel at ease. What's more, the local area is not without spices, on average, each family can also get almost 200 catties, compared to the previous high price from the big cannibals, this is already very good.

Even with this kind of very satisfied and open-minded mentality, when they heard that the fifty merchant ships were all full of spices, and most of them were the most expensive nutmeg, all of them fell into madness at once! Fifty full of nutmeg, how much is it worth!

"Did you really find an island full of spice trees?" As soon as the merchant ship docked, the families and wealthy businessmen couldn't wait to pull the representatives of the families to ask questions excitedly.

"Tell Uncle Sixth what the Spice Island looks like."

"Old Thirteen, do you know the specific location of this spice island?"

"It's been made, it's been made, this time it's going to sea, it's worth the income of the previous ten years!"

The representatives and men of the various families who went with them all showed a look of how strange you are, and as for the expression of being so excited, they all wanted to look at people with their nostrils. Said triumphantly: "Naturally, I found it." How else did these fifty boatloads of spices come from? Eleven small islands. There are seven of them, none of which have any other trees, all of them are spice trees, and the exact location is known only to the people of the Four Seas Trading Company. ”

"Don't you see, there are so many spices, there is a thick layer on the ground, you don't need to pick it at all, you just pick it up from the ground and it's full."

"King Lanling is really auspicious, the darling of heaven. These islands have obviously not been visited before, how can King Lanling know about it, and he found it as soon as he looked for it! ”

"If you want to say that this Lanling King is fate, God will help him, don't talk about Spice Island, do you know what he picked up on the beach? More than 2,000 catties of the best quality ambergris is simply a priceless treasure! I'm convinced, and in the future, our family will follow King Lanling wholeheartedly to make a fortune! ”

"I didn't say it, the God of Wealth descended to ...... earth"

There are those who are happy, and there are those who are unhappy. More than 500 Japanese were very unhappy, although this time they also made a lot of money. Not counting the goods, just counting the gold and silver is several times the profit, but when I saw that everyone else had been given the spices, I didn't have them, and I hid in the corners one by one, screaming angrily.

Of course, there are even more unhappy, that is, these local natives, Wolf Yaxiu is not happy, because the Tang people promised to help them destroy all the other forces here, but now they are leaving.

But they didn't dare to offend these Tang people now, and if the Tang people supported their sworn enemy Floan a little more, they would be wiped out.

Flo Anguo is also not happy, although there was chaos here before, there were often fights and killings, but after all, there was a boss who shocked the Quartet and was relatively stable, but now it is a chaos, there is a war every day, and it is impossible to fight if you want to, the wolf tooth repair attacked them first, and too many relatives died, and the hatred was too great.

In the joy and sorrow of everyone, more than 300 merchant ships spent five days adjusting their goods, and the mahogany was harvested too much, and more than a million catties were left in the Lion City. Two large ships, seven medium ships, and 1,500 Tiance Marines were left in Lion City by Xiao Quai, stationed in the sea area of cruising. Some far-sighted families and merchants have also left some people here, and this place is full of treasures.

Xiao Qubing carefully instructed Mu Shuiguang, the captain of the Warrior, Xiao Feng, the captain of the Fearless, and Yue Xia, the Ranger General of the Tiance Army, who had just been appointed by himself, and the fleet sailed north. After arriving at Champong, it took another three days to transport half of the piled rice in the port, and thirteen warships escorted more than 300 full merchant ships, and cautiously rushed to Guangzhou.

After arriving in Guangzhou, it naturally caused a huge sensation, and the people in the entire city of Guangzhou went crazy, it turned out that the South China Sea was so rich, and the force of the South China Sea was so weak, the Four Seas Trading Company took the lead in going to sea this time, and it completely brought back more than 300 gold and silver mountains!

I didn't know it, but now I not only know it, but I also see it with my own eyes, and everyone's minds are moved.

There are poor people who have lost their land and wandered or worked hard for others to think that instead of suffering and suffering poverty in Guangzhou, it is better to go to the South China Sea to find treasure and make a fortune, and return to their hometown after making money;

There are also local landlords who are strong and strong, who are jealous of the wealth of the South China Sea, and are ready to form a fleet to operate the South China Sea.

The wealth is moving, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi stayed in Guangzhou for four days, and met with hundreds of family representatives who wanted to go to the South China Sea. In fact, Xiao Qubing is naturally willing, and the more Tang people who go to the South China Sea, the better, but the Tang Dynasty has the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Qubing can only comfort them with warm words, saying that he will definitely ask His Majesty to appropriately open the ban on Tang people going abroad to sea.

Then he fled with five warships and more than 270 merchant ships, continued to go north along the coastline, then entered the Yangtze River, took the Grand Canal north to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Bianzhou, and entered the Yellow River.

When the two princes returned victoriously from the South China Sea, when five warships and more than 270 merchant ships sailed into Luoyang City with countless rare treasures, spices and timber, the entire Luohe River was already crowded with people, and thousands of people were empty.

Most of them came to see the gold and silver treasures, because the Yellow River was frozen in winter, and when the fleet arrived in Luoyang, all the goods had to be removed from the ships, piled up in temporary warehouses at the wharf, and then transported to Chang'an by four-wheeled carriages. After doing this, these warships and merchant ships had to hurry back before the Yellow River froze. At least drive to Yangzhou.

As early as Guangzhou, the news was sent to report to Chang'an. The fast horse messenger never stopped along the way. The itinerary of the fleet, the people of Chang'an and Luoyang knew it clearly.

Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong, and Li Xian originally wanted to put up the shelves, but when they saw the mountains of gold and treasures on the deck, they suddenly became calm, and even their voices trembled a little.

"The king of Lanling has worked hard for the country, and His Majesty wants the old slave to express his condolences to the king of Lanling on his behalf, and when the king of Lanling enters the court to meet His Majesty, he will have his own reward. King Lanling arranged everything in Luoyang as soon as possible. Enter the palace and face the saint! ”

"Gao Weng is polite, how dare he speak hard for the country and open up the sea frontier. Please send someone to report to Your Majesty, saying that he has been sick and separated from his wife for too long, so let him go sick and reunite with his wife for a few days. The transportation of treasures took a lot of effort from Gao Weng and Dr. Yang. ”

Xiao Quzhi took Gao Lishi's hand and smiled, but his eyes were only not far behind Li Xian, supported by Xiao Yao and Cao Xueyang. The corners of her eyes were already wet, but she couldn't help smiling at herself.

Sure enough, she was pregnant. Counting the day, there are almost two months to give birth, fortunately, fortunately, He Ke'er does not look bad, she is a strong woman.

Gao Lishi turned around and looked at He Ke'er, and laughed happily: "Newlyweds, it's really embarrassing for you to be separated for so long." ”

According to Xiao Quai's report to the emperor, the income from the South China Sea, not counting the magnates and wealthy merchants of various families, and counting the four seas trading companies alone, is almost double that captured in the battle of the river last year.

Seeing the gold and treasures piled up on the decks of these two hundred ships, this must be true. Why is this kid so good, how can he really know everything? Thinking of so much wealth, he can only control half of it (thirty percent is used for the profits of training and raising soldiers, Luoyang intercepts one percent, plus two percent dedicated to Li Longji's private treasury, and one percent is for the Yang family and Chang'an relatives, princes, princesses, prime ministers, etc.), Yang Guozhong was crazy with jealousy.

Because the emperor sent Gao Lishi, and the Four Seas Trading Company was a good hand at settling accounts, there were too few hands and feet that he could do, but the Four Seas Trading Company could blatantly leave fifty percent of the profits as a cost for training troops and developing the business of the Four Seas Trading Company, as well as dividends to shareholders and employees. Because this is what was said before, and this time His Majesty also agreed.

Then Yang Guozhong thought that Xiao Qu could grasp so much money when he was sick, and he could use it however he wanted; And although he is also in charge of so much money, he can't use it himself, and can only embezzle a fraction, he is very, very angry!

However, he is also a person with a city government, and at this time he also came back to his senses, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to barely calm himself, and arched his hand towards Xiao Quai: "King Lanling is really worthy of being the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and he really admires his brother." King Lanling can rest assured to reunite with his wife, and leave it to me and Gao Weng and Li Shaoyin here. ”

Xiao Quzhi also arched his hand to Yang Guozhong and Li Xian, and ordered Li Qi to take care of it here, so he hurriedly walked to He Ke'er, whose eyes were already red, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and said softly: "What are you crying about, aren't I coming back?" ”

"The concubine is very happy, my husband will always be the best." He Ke'er held Xiao Quai's hand, with a smile on her face, but there were more tears.

The two of them quickly got into the four-wheeled carriage that Xiao Qu'er specially built for He Ke'er to prevent crossbow arrows, squeezed through the dense crowd and began to rush out.

At this time, the carriage was already full of people, and it was about half past ten in the morning, and the sun shone brightly, and the gold and jewels of the ship reflected an incomparably dazzling light, and all the people let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, how much gold is this! Look at the brightest white gem that is bigger than a fist! ”

"Oh my God, one-foot-tall red coral, this is too rare!"

"I heard that the cabin is full of spices, how much does this have to sell!"

"King Lanling is really amazing, if he didn't know that those natives in the South China Sea are all treasures......"

"King Lanling is really the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty......"

In the past nine months, the entire province of Dugi, especially the vicinity of Luoyang, has entered into rapid development, and various undertakings have progressed extremely smoothly. By this time, the number of people employed by the Four Seas Trading Company in the entire province of Toki Province was almost 100,000, and the number of people benefiting from this exceeded one million.

The entire Togi Province region is economically prosperous, and the common people live a prosperous life, compared to the homeless people everywhere in many places, and the road has frozen bones, this is simply a paradise.

Chinese know best about gratitude, Xiao Qubing led the fleet to the South China Sea, full of spoils of war triumph, naturally praised by all the people, full of glory, but at this moment, for Xiao Quai, no matter how beautiful and glorious the outside of the carriage, it is not as important as being with his wife to talk to each other.

Xiao Quzhi gently leaned He Ke'er into his arms, stretched out his hand and put his hand on his already bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I'm really pregnant, you have suffered a lot in the past few days when I am away, right?" ”

He Ke'er leaned her head on Xiao Qu'er's shoulder, smelled the good smell of Xiao Qu'ai's body, and said happily: "Ke'er didn't do anything at home, how can there be any suffering, just the first two months, I always want to vomit, and then it's fine, now the little guy has grown in his belly, and he will kick me every day, do you want to listen?" ”

"Really?" Xiao Quzhi immediately became interested, put his ear on her stomach like a child, and sure enough, he heard two heartbeats, and when he thought of He Ke'er, who he had only met more than a year ago, and now there was a little life in her belly, he felt very magical and wonderful.

Then I thought about it and thought that in the afterlife of another time and space, a girl of her age should have just entered college, but here she was already considered a late marriage. But when I was pregnant with a child so early, I couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, looking at He Keer's figure, she was not too blessed, she still listened to her own instructions, and she didn't dare to eat too much to make up too much, so she should be able to give birth smoothly.

"Tell me about you and your son, how do you spend your day?"

"How do you know it's a son? Don't you like your daughter? ”

"I like it, how can I not like it." Xiao Quzhi smiled and touched her forehead with his forehead, and then began to listen to He Ke'er talk about various interesting stories and daily life.

"Tell me about what's happening in the South China Sea." He Ke'er finished speaking, and then it was Xiao Qu's turn to speak.

"It's a long story, let's start with whaling, you know, I know almost everything, but those guys were scared when they saw whales......"

The two whispered, warm and quiet, the carriage had already walked out of Luoyang City, and the people along the way knew that this was He Keer's special car, and they all smiled and said hello, and the coachman nodded with interest, a harmonious scene.

A few hundred miles away in the east of the river, An Lushan, who had been reappointed by Li Longji as the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu, was riding a horse on the road to the face of the saint, this time he did not dare to take Luoyang, the easy road to walk, he could only take the east of the river, Xiao Qubing with more than 200 boats of gold, silver, jewelry and spices and the news of the victory he already knew, at this moment his heart was both hateful, but also slightly afraid, and at the same time a little prayed.
