After Li Changjie saw Zhao Yan and got his understanding, he immediately rushed back to Jiaozhi Shenglong Mansion, and I don't know if it was because Zhao Yan reminded him that Li Rizun had murderous intentions against him, which made Li Changjie rush back to prepare?

For Zhao Yan, the matter of Jiaozhi is just a small episode of his visit to the deep-water port, and the main purpose of his coming here is to investigate the situation here, so in the next period of time, his figure appears in almost every place in the deep-water port, and there is also Wang Shiyue to accompany him to help him introduce, otherwise he will not be able to understand the operation of the entire deep-water port in a short time.

In fact, the situation of the deep-water port is simple and very simple, because it is only a port for ships to berth and replenish, and only a small part of the maritime industry will do business here, so the port only needs to provide various supplies such as food and fresh water for the merchant ships that enter the port, and the most on the port is a variety of entertainment places, after all, life at sea is too boring, so after the ship docks, the crew on the ship will find a place to vent for the first time.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, so in addition to various warehouses on the wharf of the entire deep-water port, the most are casinos and brothels, among which the casinos needless to say, although the gameplay is different, but in the final analysis, it is still two words, that is, "gambling money", as for the brothel is somewhat interesting, because the deep-water port was originally the territory of Cochin, and the natives here still account for the majority, so the women in the brothel are also local women, but these women are black and thin, it is estimated that in addition to the local men, And only those seafarers who have been at sea for months can get their hands on it.

The deep-water port is close to the mouth of Jin Fuliang's house, and the freshwater resources are abundant, so there is no need to worry about the problem of fresh water, but the food is more troublesome. In the past, the port used to purchase from the surrounding Cochin area, but during this time, Cochin suddenly banned the surrounding area from trading with the deep-water port, and as a result, the deep-water port had to look for various sources of supply, which also brought some trouble to the port.

Another thing is that the port has repaired the ship, and it is inevitable that the sea voyage will encounter wind, waves or other troubles, which will always bring some damage to the ship. Therefore, the deep-water port also has a special ship-repair yard, which can repair some ships, but because the construction time of the deep-water port is too short, there is no real shipyard in the port, and now with the development of the port, gradually people have the demand for shipbuilding, and the officials of the deep-water port are also discussing the shipyard during this time, but Zhao Yan has promised Su Song that he will open a shipyard in Qiongzhou. It's not far from here, so after Qiongzhou has a shipyard, there is no need for the deep-water port.

Zhao Yan spent nearly five days turning around the entire deep-water port, and all aspects of the entire port were also remembered by him, and even if time permitted, Zhao Yan really wanted to set sail from the deep-water port, and then go all the way south to Nanyang for a turn, speaking of which, he had never been to Nanyang in his previous life. So now is just the time to make up for that regret.

It's a pity that Zhao Yan's idea of going to Nanyang is destined to be impossible, the first is that Zhao Yan has already promised Cao Ying and them when he came out this time. It definitely won't be more than a month, and now it's been more than half a month, so he has to rush back as much as he can, so as not to worry them.

In addition, the current South Sea is not the South Sea of later generations, where not only the wind and waves are high, but also the reefs are everywhere, and pirates are rampant. The most important thing is that Zhao Yan and their ship are not good, although this is already the largest sea ship in the Great Song Dynasty, but the ability to resist wind and waves is still limited, Zhao Yan doesn't want to beat himself to the bottom of the sea with a gust of wind and waves, so he finally dispelled the tempting idea of going to the South Seas.

The deep-water port was the last stop for Zhao Yan to inspect the trade industry of the Great Song Dynasty. Next, he will return to Guangzhou to officially take over the maritime trade industry, and according to his understanding of the maritime trade industry during this time, formulate the next development plan of the Great Song Dynasty Maritime Trade.

However, just when Zhao Yan and their fleet were about to leave the deep-water port, the mine he had planted for Jiaozhi before finally exploded, after Li Changjie returned to Jiaozhi, after a secret investigation, it was found that Li Rizun did kill him, and also secretly weakened the strength in his hands, he was loyal and did not think about this aspect before, but now after Zhao Yan's reminder, with his wisdom, it is naturally easy to see Li Rizun's thoughts.

Speaking of which, although Li Changjie is old and a eunuch, the more people like him are, the more he spares his life, especially since he has always thought that he has made countless contributions to Jiaozhi, if he dies in the end in the hands of his loyalties, it is really a little too worthless, and it is precisely this kind of thought, so Li Changjie immediately began to fight back, but he did not think about rebelling, but planned to have a certain strength to protect himself.

Li Changjie has been in charge of the army for decades, and has an incomparable reputation in the army, which is estimated to be the main reason why Li Rizun is suspicious of him, in addition, Li Changjie has been defeated in successive battles against the Great Song Dynasty army, although Li Rizun does not say it, but he has been dissatisfied with him in his heart, these two main reasons add up, coupled with some jealous of Li Changjie's ministers to provoke, which finally made Li Rizun have murderous intentions towards Li Changjie, but unfortunately he did not expect that Li Changjie not only got the understanding of the Great Song Dynasty, but also returned safely.

Li Changjie relied on his prestige in the army, coupled with some previously cultivated lineage, so that he quickly attracted a group of generals, in addition, Li Changjie was worried that he would be plotted by Li Rizun again, and finally simply left Shenglong Mansion with his family and lineage, and moved to Nanding City, not far from the deep-water port, and took the initiative to contact the deep-water port, expressing his willingness to provide all kinds of supplies, it seems that Li Changjie also knows that it is difficult to compete with Li Rizun on his own, so he plans to rely on the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Rizun is not stupid, in fact, he felt something wrong when Li Changjie just returned from the deep-water port, and when he found out that Li Changjie was winning over the generals in the army, it was too late to stop it, and then Li Changjie ran to Nanding City with people, although Li Changjie did not rebel openly, but he was already the king of the land, although Li Rizun was furious, but there was no way, unless he was desperate to fight for the strength of the big loss and directly sent troops to destroy Li Changjie, otherwise there was no other way, But now he wants to lose to the Great Song Dynasty before Yixue, so he naturally refuses to take the damage to his strength lightly.

Zhao Yan did not show much interest in this political struggle within Jiaozhi, because he knew that Li Changjie and Li Rizun would definitely not be able to fight, although the internal division was over, but on the whole, there was not much damage to the strength of Jiaozhi, and even if there was a war with the Great Song Dynasty in the future, maybe they would unite, so Zhao Yan did not have much hope for Li Changjie, and even because Li Changjie was too close to the deep-water port now, Zhao Yan also specially instructed the port officials to be careful of Li Changjie's movements, and after returning this time, he planned to send some more sailors to the deep-water port.

After leaving the deep-water port, Zhao Yan and their fleet returned according to the original route, when passing through Qiongzhou, Zhao Yan and they stayed at Su Song for another day, although they had only left for a long time, but Su Song had already selected the location of the shipyard, and began to organize the people to carry out some construction in the early stage, as for the Shilu Iron Mine, he did not move for the time being, after all, the interests related to this iron mine are too great, and they must wait until Zhao Yan sent the army to officially mine it.

After saying goodbye to Su Song, Zhao Yan and their fleet sailed for several days, and finally returned to Guangzhou again, at this time it was just one month since he left, Cao Ying and they were very happy to come to the dock to greet them when they learned the news of Zhao Yan's return, among which Siyue and a few other little guys saw their father, all of them shouted and ran forward, Zhao Yan also happily picked up the children one by one and turned around a few times, and he thought most about these little guys in the month of leaving.

Take his wife and children back home in the carriage, long before Zhao Yan came to Guangzhou, Princess Chen Guo had prepared a house for them, although the scale is not as good as the other courtyard in Kaifeng City, but with the quiet and elegant garden of the south, Zhao Yan is also very satisfied, in his previous life, when he browsed the gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he had a dream of having such a garden, and now the dream has finally come true.

In the evening, Zhao Yan set up a banquet at home, firstly, to catch the wind for himself and Cao Song, and secondly, to summarize what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as everyone's views on how to develop the sea trade next, Cao Song and Xu Yuan and others had been looking forward to it for a long time, so they all came early.

In addition, in addition to inviting Cao Song and Xu Yuan, Wang Shiyue, Su Shi and others, Zhao Yan also specially invited Cai Jing, don't look at Cai Jing is just a Guangzhou governor, but the port of Guangzhou is too special, so some things still can't get around Cai Jing, it just so happens that Cai Jing now intends to show favor to Zhao Yan, so there are some things that don't have to be hidden from him, of course, if Cai Jing wants to play any tricks, Zhao Yan will also let him know the fate of offending himself!

According to the rules of the banquet, no one said anything about maritime trade at first, and only after the three rounds of wine did Zhao Yan speak: "Everyone, everyone has almost turned around the southern coast, now do you have any good opinions, although you can put them forward now?" ”

Zhao Yan took the head of the topic of sea trade, and Cao Song and others immediately expressed their opinions, but they mainly made some summaries of the Great Song Sea Trade, and no one expressed their opinions on what to do next, not that they had no ideas, but they all wanted to hear Zhao Yan's plans first.
