Chapter 169: Shocking Chang'an

Liu Renliang refused the tribal chieftain's request to send his wife, and the next day, through translation, all the spices and gems, medicinal herbs, blood coral and other things in this tribal territory were all wrapped by Liu Renliang, and they only used half a ship's cargo in exchange for more than 3,000 tons of spices, as well as countless gems and medicinal materials, etc., a 3,000-ton merchant ship was full, in exchange for a large number of soap glass balls and other broken things The tribal chieftain happily sent Liu Renliang away as the most precious guest, They also promised to leave next year's spices and what they wanted for them. Liu Renliang continued to move forward with the fleet, it was okay at first, the tribes he met were all friendly, and the things he exchanged made Liu Renliang almost crazy, because as long as these things were transported back to Datang, it would really be a big deal, and soon their fleet would be half filled with spices and gems and other things, and when they were halfway through the trip, they finally met the largest tribe, but they were very unfriendly, holding those broken spears and sickles or something against Liu Renliang, no matter what the translator and Liu Renliang said, they were indifferent, Especially when they saw Liu Renliang and their goods, they greedily wanted to sneak attack Liu Renliang's fleet, the result can be imagined, they took advantage of the night and the familiar jungle, and appeared in the fleet's camp out of nowhere, although the marines have no experience in fighting in the hot jungle, but there is no problem with defense, and they have long found that these sneaky natives who want to sneak attack, a few lights that shine the sky into daylight, and those natives who want to sneak attack knelt directly, More than half of the people knelt in fear and worshiped the lights that could turn night into day, and the rest were directly beaten into a hornet's nest by the muskets of the marines, and the naval guns at sea did not need to fire, with Liu Renliang's words, dealing with these people was a waste of ammunition, if it wasn't for the weather being too hot, Liu Renliang They didn't want to fight with a white knee, otherwise these natives would be hacked to death by black knives instead of under the muskets, and this battle would be over in less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Renliang blew the muzzle of his short musket and said.

"Those who are injured quickly mend their knives, and then let those captives dig pits and bury them, don't make any plague on such a hot day."

Those natives who were still putting up the lights were all captured by the marines like chickens, and then they were ordered to dig pits and bury those dead companions, and their tribe was conquered by Liu Renliang in this way, unlike those friendly tribes, no goods were given to these natives who dared to attack the fleet, because of Li Yong's other order, if you encounter the indigenous tribe that attacks the fleet, you will be wiped out directly, you are welcome, so this tribe has become a tribe that Liu Renliang has been destroyed overseas, Soon the spices in this tribal territory were all cleaned up by Liu Renliang, and the spices that were burned as firewood in the two tribes were taken away, this tribal territory was much larger than the tribes they had met before, all of them worked in three shifts, and it took four days to finish, Liu Renliang asked people to leave something for these people, and then asked the translator to tell them that when the spices are ripe next year, they will be picked off and waiting for them to collect, if they dare to resist, they will be killed directly, if they are obedient, Then these food will be given to them, beat a stick to give a date, Liu Renliang still understands, after leaving here, Liu Renliang's fleet has been filled with spices and other goods, these things can be bought in Datang at a large price, so Liu Renliang continued to sail, encountered several small islands with no people, which were full of spices, what cloves, cinnamon, cardamom are all over the ground, Liu Renliang quickly marked these islands on the chart, and then left a sign on the island that belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that the entire fleet of Liu Renliang was full, Of course, it is impossible for him to use the battleship to hold these things, this is strictly forbidden, and now there are still many ships with a lot of Xishan and Huating cargo, which makes Liu Renliang very entangled.

"What about the Commander? Now all the places in the fleet that can be loaded are full, and they can't be overloaded. ”

Liu Renliang's staff told him about the situation, Liu Renliang also has a headache now, he can't throw away his own goods, but compared with these valuable spices and gems, these goods are not valuable, and he suddenly feels that his brain is not enough.

"What do you suggest?"

"Commander, my subordinates feel that it is better to continue sailing, and then empty the cargo on the ship, and expand some nautical charts casually, even if there is really no way to do it in the end, and then abandon the rest of the goods, compared with these high-value spices, gems, medicinal herbs and wood, it is nothing at all."

Liu Renliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, looking at his young staff officer, he patted him on the shoulder with laughter and said.

"Yes, yes, young people's brains are good, just do what you want, how many supplies we still have, you have to do a good job of statistics, don't have problems when you return home."

The praised young staff officer happily gave Liu Renliang a military salute and said,

"Don't worry, Commander, we are now fully loaded, these days, we have not only replenished fresh water and food, enough to return home, but I will always keep an eye on this."

Liu Renliang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, the young staff officer got busy inside, and issued the order of the fleet commander to the huge fleet, and soon all the ships received the orders of the fleet commander, and then the fleet began to explore while trading with the tribes it encountered, of course, when they encountered unreasonable direct work, soon they walked the entire Luzon Island, and the remaining goods were also rapidly decreasing, and the vacant places were filled with spices and other things in exchange, and now the entire fleet was blown by the sea breeze, They can smell the strong smell of spices, and what they smell is money asked, because these people who go to sea can get a commission of one percent of the goods on their respective ships, so the captain and crew of each ship are like crazy, filling every corner of the ship, and finally being inspected by Liu Renliang, he found that many ships are overloaded, and after being trained by him, he distributed the overloaded part to the ships that have not yet been filled.

"What do these bastards think? Don't die, when I came, I didn't know the danger of the South China Sea, the ship was overloaded, and a big wind and wave directly capsized. ”

"Commander, this can't be blamed on them, wealth is moving, everyone wants to earn more."

"Then you have to have a fate, order to go down, strictly implement the requirements of the fleet, and if you find an overloaded ship, the ship will be dismissed directly."

Liu Renliang was really speechless, it could only be like this, Liu Renliang's order, these captains did not dare to disobey, because they knew that Liu Renliang was also for their good, but they were fascinated by so many spices and good things for a while, and then I thought about it, I would come once every six months in the future, and I was afraid that this island would run away, so the fleet soon did not appear overloaded, and the fleet finally traveled for half a month, the entire Luzon Island was completed, the goods on the ship were also replaced, and all the merchant ships were filled with spices and other things, After Liu Renliang's fleet did the last fresh water and material supply, it began to sail back, with the experience of coming, the fleet once again had a thrilling passage through the Bass Strait, entered the Ryukyu Strait, and when the fleet that disappeared for more than a month reappeared, the Black Pearl Pirate Group also sent a sigh of relief, Liu Renliang's fleet was not sailing at night for the sake of safety, although all of them rushed back in a hurry, but Liu Renliang's order they could understand that it was very dangerous to sail on the dark sea, and it was a trivial matter to lose their way, and it was possible to walk, Suddenly, a small island appeared in front of him, and the ship collided directly with the ship, destroying people, although the merchant ship was also equipped with lights, but it was magnesium and aluminum powder Li Yong had a lot, so they were strictly used. Liu Renliang's fleet left Huating County to return to the port, which lasted two months, watching the fleet return to the port safely, the people of Huating County, who had been waiting early, were jubilant again, the return of the fleet meant that the voyage was successful, and everyone could smell their respective spices from afar.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, it seems to smell like cloves, and cinnamon, how much does it cost? It can be smelled from so far away. ”

"yes, this time it might be a full load."

The people of Huating County are looking forward to the results of this voyage, the largest princess entered the port first, because it was too big, it could only be parked at a special berth, and then other ships began to stop at the berth of the port under the orderly command of the dispatch, and the navy directly broke away from the formation and returned to the naval base port, Li Yong and Changle appeared in full costume on the dock, when all the berths were full, the deck and the ship's side put down the gangplank, and the open cabin suddenly revealed that it was full of spices, and the strong question was very pungent, made Li Yong can't help sneezing, wondering if this Liu Renliang whole bastard has picked up all the spices of Luzon, this time Li Yong really wronged Liu Renliang, just these boats, want to pick up the spices of the entire Luzon Island, that is a fantasy, when Changle and the people of Huating saw so many spices, people were stupid, they kept hearing Li Yong say that there are a lot of spices overseas, and they don't admit that they think so much, and half of the ships have not docked, how much does this have? Soon the coolies who were specially transported at the dock began to work under the command of Gundam, and the crew of the ship all stepped off the deck of the ship where they had been staying for more than two months, and now each of them had a pungent smell of spices on their bodies, no way, this boat was full of them, they were pickled in spices like salted fish, and pain and happiness coexisted.

"Master Hou, princess, how much spice does this have?"

How did Li Yong know, that guy Liu Renliang had already returned to the naval base with the fleet, and Li Yong estimated that the guy didn't know much, so he only shook his head and said.

"How do I know how much that bastard Liu Renliang has done, didn't you see him hide back to the naval base as soon as he came back? You don't care, let all the ships unload as soon as possible, and then do a good job. ”

The girls of Changle watched the bundles of spices being transported off the ship, and then classified and weighed, the registration belonged to that ship, Changle Chunlan and Xiaoxue Li Xueyan were fine, but Zheng Liwan was different, the things that the female Cao Cao thought about were not what they thought, Zheng Liwan whispered in Li Yong's ear.

"Lang Jun, this time the harvest is so big, I guess those people in Chang'an are not calm."

Li Yong's ears were itchy when she spoke in her ear.

"Hey, pay attention, so many people are watching, you talk to talk, don't blow."

"Don't you like it?"

When Li Yong saw this goblin who had brought disaster to the country and the people, he had no choice but to pretend to be serious.

"Don't make trouble, you hurry up and let the Gundam count it, it belongs to the nine places in Chang'an, hurry up and send it over, all of ours will be shipped to Wu Cao Nannizi to deal with, what to do You should know, we just want to use this batch of goods to let those ignorant people know that the wealth of the world is not just on land."

"Okay, the concubine knows, it's over, and people drink milk."

"Hot or icy?"

"As long as it's Lang Jun, you can ......"

Li Yong really can't stand it, this goblin drives with himself at every turn, and the key is that he likes it too, damn guilt. It took three days and three days for all the merchant ships to be unloaded, and Gundam became a national treasure panda again, and he now wants to burn the brush and ledger in his hand, which is too much, at first he was very excited to register, but later he was directly numb, and those spices were just put on the scale and looked at the number casually, anyway, it was probably, not bad, and those all kinds of gems, all of which were in a big box and a big box, how much, he himself forgot, anyway, there were a lot, among which Liu Renliang also deliberately came to the dock to show off to Gundam, Isn't he great, he got him such a good thing, angry Gundam, directly with a musket and a black knife to chase Liu Renliang nine streets, if it weren't for Liu Renliang's good skills, he was really killed by Gundam, don't forget, Gundam was a military general before he entered politics, and he was the guard of Princess Changle, the force value is not low, Liu Renliang is properly looking for death, for Gundam to chase and kill Liu Renliang, everyone should not see it, some of the naval soldiers who went home on vacation saw it, and they all privately bet on whether their commander could be hacked to death by Gao, it is conceivable that Liu Renliang is a second ha in all personnel. It is not easy to clarify all the goods, and then let people transport these goods to the inland river by sea, and then go through the Grand Canal by the ship of the inland river, enter the Yellow River, and then arrive in Chang'an, the inland ship can not be compared to the sea ship, especially Li Yong's new sea boat, Li Yong's inland ship is transformed by Liu Youyu and the Taizhou naval division they captured, this time the goods are too much, the coast patrol team only left a formation, the entire patrol team acts as a cargo and escort mission, after all, the fighting ship and the building ship can still travel in the inland river, In this way, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River appeared a spectacular scene that covered the sky and the sun, and hundreds of large and small merchant ships occupied the entire waterway, so that when the other merchant ships in the movement saw it, they were directly frightened stupid, especially those huge building ships and fighting ships, they seemed so small. The nine families who received Li Yong's news waited at the rebuilt Weishui Wharf at the agreed time, they originally thought that Li Yong would just comfort them, those spices were precious, how could they be like what he said, so there were not many people and trucks pulling goods, but when they saw the sails on the river, they were all frightened, although the Weishui Wharf had been rebuilt, but after all, it was not a big wharf, so many ships could not be docked, they could dock ten ships at most at one time, because the wharf was guarded by Wu Cao early, The entire wharf is now only available for her Huating Hou fleet, Wu Cao, who was dressed in gorgeous silk, got off Li Yong's special carriage in Chang'an, and ten guards who specially protected her followed her closely, seeing Wu Cao, the steward of the nine families did not dare to underestimate this fourth lady, although she only had one concubine, but her status was not low, the entire business in Chang'an was in charge of her, and she was the second overlord of Zheng Liwan, Wu Cao was very polite to the nine stewards who were waiting.

"A few stewards, the concubine is polite."

"Fourth Lady."

The nine stewards also hurriedly saluted, and after the two sides saluted, Wu Cao found that there were very few people and cars they brought, how could she be so smart that she didn't know what was going on, but these people were all people who helped her Langjun, so she said it kindly

"A few stewards, are you bringing fewer people, I'm afraid your family won't be able to move in a day."

The nine stewards listened to it, you look at me, I look at you, although they also saw a lot of ships, but they didn't believe that these ships were theirs, but the reality slapped them in the face, the first to dock was the ship of Li Jing and Xu Shiji's family, their ships were few, so let them first, the two of them combined were just ten ships, this is an inland ship, the amount of loading can not be the same as the sea boat, they are only four, when they walked to the dock, the strong smell of spices filled the entire dock, And when the ten docked merchant ships opened the cabins, the eyes of the nine stewards were straight, there were so many, it was simply that the two floors of the cabins were full and there was no place at all, and now they finally knew what Wu Cao meant by what he said, as far as the people brought by the two of them were concerned, they really couldn't move in a day.

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and unload the goods, you hurry back to the house to tell the master, and bring everyone and the car. ”

Li Jing's steward reacted first, and hurriedly asked a safe family general to rush back and shake people, and the same was true for several other stewards, but Li Jing and Xu Shiji's family brought more than a dozen people, just like ants moving elephants, and the other boats waiting to dock had blocked the entire channel, and the nine family heads who received the news were stunned as if they had been struck by thunder, but soon they all brought all the people who could move in their families to the dock, and those generals even pulled out the horses at home. When the whole Chang'an saw this group of people, they didn't know what was going on, the people of these nine families added up to at least three hundred people, and the curious people followed them to the Weishui Wharf, when they saw the dense ships on the channel, their scalps were numb, but what shocked them was that the ten boats that opened their cabins and docked on the dock were full of spices, and the air here was filled with the smell of all spices. As civil officials, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling did not look like they were prime ministers, they ran over with their own people, and Li Jing and Xu Shiji glanced at each other and hurriedly ran over, because now they were unloading the goods of the two of them, they hurriedly asked people to go up to help, but there were still too few people, so people from several other families also came to help, and it took a long time to move the two ships.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if any of you are free, please do us a favor, we are willing to pay us for a day's wages."

It has always been a sky-high wage for one day, but for those spices, it is a drop in the bucket, to say that the clever or the people Cheng bite the gold clever, he said this, there are really many people for this consistent salary to join the future, which also makes the progress faster, the matter of Weishui Wharf spread like the wind quickly throughout this Chang'an City, all forces sent people to see, and found that it was really the same as the rumor, including Li Er, who was in the Ganlu Palace, was directly shocked and stupid, Li Yong's effect was achieved, and the purpose of shocking Chang'an was the second step of his plan, He just let everyone know that it is impossible to stop him Li Yong, and those who fight against him, he has to clean up one by one, first of all, the Jiangnan Shi clan.
