Chapter 190: Rich
"Oh my God, it's so rich! It's so rich......"
Two days later, more than 300 Tang merchant ships came here, and when thousands of representatives of powerful families and merchants stepped into the city, they let out the same exclamation as Li Qi's!
Compared with the large-scale gold mines and gold mountains in Java and Sulu, Linyi, which only produces sand gold, is actually not rich in gold, but it has accumulated over thousands of years, and the amount is also considerable;
In addition, Linyi is located in an important transit point of the Maritime Silk Road, from which a lot of benefits have been obtained, and Linyi's national fortune has been very strong in recent years, and he has conquered everywhere and recovered a lot of treasures.
As a result, the entire treasury of the city of Cham and the private treasury of the royal palace were piled with gold, silver and jewels!
When Wang Chengen, as well as these representatives sent to the South China Sea by the five surnames Qiwang, the four surnames of Guanzhong, the Jiangnan Chinese family, and the wealthy giants, came to the palace treasury, they all immediately knelt down, and their eyes were dizzy!
It's a colorful, bizarre world, and who would have thought that fist-sized ruby sapphires, opals, and emeralds would pile up like a hill on the shelves like debris.
There were more than a dozen baskets of round and brilliant pearls the size of a dragon's eye, more than 20 red corals taller than a person, and as for gold and silver, they were almost piled up in the whole room!
"This is the private treasury of the palace of King Linyi, and there is also a treasury, which is full of sand gold, and there are always millions of taels. Okay, the Four Seas Trading Company will take eighty percent, and the remaining two percent will be distributed according to the share agreed before.
As for doing business, and raiding the minister's house for Lin Yi, it's up to you to do it, and I'll give you five days! Five days later, we set sail for our next stop. Feel relieved. The South China Sea is rich. Some you earn! ”
Xiao Qu's words brought these people back to reality from their obsessive state. Everyone immediately nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. Although so many of them only get 20%, what do they want to do when they have no capital?
Besides, there are also these two businesses of raiding the minister's house and doing business in the locality, and these Cham people are all fools, and a horse of silk can exchange them for a hundred taels of sand gold; One or two rock sugars can be exchanged for piles of agarwood and rosewood.
These businesses are not cared for by trading companies all over the world, and whoever does it is whomever owns. Relying on these alone, they can make a lot of money on this trip to the South China Sea, not to mention, the king of Lanling said that there is a richer next stop, the next stop!
Thinking of this, these disciples of various families and wealthy businessmen trembled with excitement! Why didn't you know to come to such a nice place before? These natives deserve to go to hell, obviously there are so many treasures, but every year they take some rags to pay tribute to our emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
I should really thank King Lanling! If he didn't know the details of these natives of the South China Sea, he would have led the Tiance army to break through these natives. How can the big guy have such a chance to make a fortune?
What's more, King Lanling is still so selfless. It is said that the warship can only be used for war, and all the treasures are handed over to the merchant ships behind to be transported. It's just that they don't know that before they entered, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion had already scavenged this place and the treasury, replacing the previous ballast stones with gems larger than fists, pearls larger than pigeon's eggs, and gold in better condition.
An/Pei Qingming and Ape Fei Jinzo are also sighing, they also never dreamed that there would be such a rich and immortal land in the South China Sea.
Gold, silver and jewelry are nothing, both of them know that this is the accumulation of thousands of years of Linyi people, but the natural environment here is too good!
The Champa rice, which crops three times a year, and the fruit trees everywhere, have ripe fruits all year round, and the sea surface is warm and calm, half water, half fish. Here you can do nothing and even the laziest person will not go hungry!
Compared to their country of Japan, it is simply a cloud of mud! Japan is bitter, not to mention the narrow terrain, not to mention the earth dragons and volcanoes, it is still a mountainous terrain, arable land is scarce, the land is barren, the Japanese work hard for a year, and in the end there are still many people who can't fill their stomachs!
How unfair!
In addition to sighing, the two of them have different thoughts, An/Pei Qingming thought that it was fortunate that they agreed to King Lanling's conditions this time, so that they could follow King Lanling out to see the world, and this time they also have five clippers in Japan, and the harvest will definitely not be less; But what Sarutobi Jinzo was thinking about was how to occupy such a rich land.
The matter of looting the city was handed over to the merchants of the Four Seas Trading Company and the Tang Dynasty, while Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi continued to take 2,500 Tianstrategists to attack the city and pull out the village, and under the leadership of the new king of Linyi, Mahaben Gadra, they were naturally invincible.
A few days later, the forces of the King of Linyi in the inner plains within a range of 150 miles to the north and south were basically swept away, and the Maha Baganda of the Party with ~Lu~ was simply not a heavenly army and did his best, and the Linyi soldiers who took surrender to Cheng wanted to curry favor with Xiao Quai, and let Xiao Quai, kill the old Linyi king Jiandravarman.
However, Xiao Qubing seemed to ignore his several hints, and not only did he survive, but even his two sons, one big, three young, four sorcerers, and five ministers, all of them spared their lives and handed them over to Feng Zhixing's care, in order to prevent Mahahagavatra from becoming too big.
Time flies, and soon five days passed, thousands of Tang families and merchants made a lot of money near Zhancheng, and Xiao Qubing also returned to Zhancheng with a large army.
"After I leave, this place will be handed over to you, guard the father and son of Jiandravarman and the sorcerer, and hurry up to subdue the soldiers who have taken refuge in you. Closely monitoring the movements of Mahatagadra, what to do if there is any trouble, don't you need me to teach you? ”
Feng Zhixing said respectfully: "Don't worry, the prince will leave it to me here, Na Ha Ben Gadra killed all the other sons and nephews of Jiandra Varman in front of everyone in the city, and snatched his daughter; He also killed a river of blood in Champa, and half of the ministers and sorcerers were killed by him, and he lost the hearts of the people.
If he dares to make any rash moves, I will release Jiandra Varman and four wizards to fight with him in the ring, I believe that with his two sons in his hands, if Jiandra Varman does not want to be extinct, he can only be obedient! ”
Xiao Quzhi nodded: "It's good if you understand, do it well, do it well, and it is not impossible to seal the prince of the country in the future and guard this place for the Tang Dynasty generations." It's better than being a pirate! ”
Feng Zhixing immediately expressed his loyalty gratefully, saying that he would definitely guard this place for the Tang Dynasty and the King of Lanling. Xiao Quai's illness asked him to collect rice for the Tang army during this time, and when the fleet turned around, he would have to transport it back to Guangzhou!
More than 300 merchant ships continued to set sail, and two days later they were taken to a deep-water harbor, where they were guarded by three warships, and the other nineteen warships sailed south for three days, and finally reached the vicinity of the Strait of Malacca, where Xiao Qubing encountered the scout ships of the Great Food Fleet for the first time.
The horn sounded on the captain's ship, and one of the standard-bearers stood on the mast and waved his flag back, and immediately two medium-sized ships rushed out with full sails and chased after the big scout. (To be continued.) )
