Duan Zhixuan first smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the brothers under my command have already been full of light when they look at these belongings.

Xia Guan has been worried that someone will run away with the money since the day the case was handled! ”

Zhang Lei, who was on the side, also laughed after listening to Duan Zhixuan's words.

Li Zhidao: "Although there is a lot of money this time, there are more than 20,000 people involved.

How to distribute the money, the king does not dare to make his own decisions, or ask the two of them to work together. ”

Duan Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiaguan, it seems that there is no need to be too embarrassed about this matter.

In the past, seventy percent of the property obtained by officers and men in the army went out to fight was handed over and thirty percent was handed over to themselves.

Your Highness may wish to distribute according to this example, and my subordinates will definitely have no complaints. ”

Zhang Lei said on the side: "The experience of the last general in this area is also insufficient.

It's better for His Highness and Lord Duan to call the shots. ”

It didn't take long for Zhang Lei to really start acting on his own, and several battles before his meritorious service took place in the Dragoons.

At that time, the dragoons did not distribute the spoils of war without permission.

All rewards are distributed by Li Shimin.

Now he leads the sailors and soldiers to participate in the escort, and the escort fee is equally distributed by everyone each time.

Although they did not gain much in this way, the soldiers did not complain.

Li Zhi nodded after listening to Zhang Lei's words.

Then he said to Duan Zhixuan: "Since this is the case, we will do it according to Duan Guogong's proposal."

It is better to settle this matter as soon as possible and hand over the property to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”

Duan Zhixuan said: "I didn't expect that the profits from this smuggling were so big.

In just a few years, so much greed can be raised. ”

Li Zhi said: "This also shows that the responsibilities of the two of you in the future are not easy, and you need to find a way to stop this unhealthy trend as much as possible." ”

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Lei and said: "Now the pirates in the South China Sea have been basically eliminated.

The king decided to report to his father that he would build a few more ports, and that the sailors would send more ships to patrol the waterways in the future.

The first is to prevent the recurrence of piracy, and the other is to combat smuggling.

It is in the nature of merchants to seek profits, and many merchants do not care about breaking the law in order to obtain greater profits. ”

Zhang Lei said: "Several ports discovered in this operation can dock large ships.

With a slight modification, it can be used as a naval station. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "This king will ask his father as soon as possible for this matter." ”

After saying this, he turned his head to Duan Zhixuan and said, "Duan Guogong still needs to send more people to familiarize himself with the coastal situation in various parts of Lingnan.

If you find a suitable place for ships to dock, you must monitor it closely.

The king feared that some merchants would continue to take risks and seize on the omissions of the imperial court to engage in the smuggling trade. ”

Duan Zhixuan nodded and said: "After this case, the lower officials are also quite shocked, and His Royal Highness will strengthen surveillance even if he doesn't say it." ”

Li Zhi said to Zhang Lei again: "The ocean-going fleet will set off again in a few days."

Now that there are constant wars in Persia, Dashi and other places, it is inevitable that our caravan will suffer losses, and the escort force will be strengthened this time. ”

Zhang Lei said: "Your Highness, it is difficult for the ocean-going trade to gather the goods for the return voyage.

If the merchant stays outside for too long, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss! ”

After hearing this, Li Zhi sighed and said: "At present, maritime trade has just emerged, and even if it is difficult, we must try to maintain it. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Duan Zhixuan and said, "Collect more high-end goods and sell them around the big food."

Although the war over there will affect the common people, those nobles and high-ranking officials are afraid that they will get richer and richer.

If our caravan can't buy the right goods from there, we won't lose money if we get some more gold, silver, and jewelry. ”

Duan Zhixuan nodded after listening to Li Zhi's words.

Now that the war around Dashi is not intervening, the Tang Dynasty can only hope that the war over there will end as soon as possible, so that normal trade can be resumed.

Li Zhi is still discussing the matter of sea trade.

The palace of the Cham country is about to become a pot of porridge.

As soon as the operation on the Tang side ended, the Cham country had already received the news.

The already decrepit Cham king Fan Fanzhi suddenly fell ill after hearing that Lei Tong's power had been wiped out again.

What he was most worried about at this time was that Lei Tong's identity would be found out by Datang again.

In that case, I am afraid that the Cham country will not be able to escape the fate of being liquidated by the Tang Dynasty.

Prime Minister Li Xiang and the military department Shangshu Lin Feng stood left and right in front of Fan Fanzhi's hospital bed.

The remaining officials stood in a heap a little farther away.

"My lord, it is not yet known what the situation will be at the moment.

The key is to find the people who escaped from the city as soon as possible.

Judging from the information gathered by all parties, it is unlikely that those people have left Cham.

If we can catch a few people and ask how much information they have, we will be able to respond effectively. ”

Prime Minister Li Xiang said to Fan Fanzhi.

After hearing this, Fan Fanzhi sighed and said, "All the troops of Zhancheng have been dispatched.

So far, there is not even a trace of the other party, and judging from the other party's skills, I am afraid that he has already fled back to Datang. ”

Lin Feng said: "My lord, one of them was seriously injured when they fled that day.

If the other party tries to save his life, he must find a hidden place to treat his injuries.

If you think about it like this, the other party should not escape too far. ”

Fan Fanzhi said: "But the army has been searching near the city for many days and still found nothing.

I think the injured man is already dead, right? ”

Lin Feng said: "No matter what, we can't give up easily.

These people are related to our countermeasures, and it is best to be able to capture them. ”

After hearing this, Fan Fanzhi waved his hand and said, "That's it, everything depends on you." ”

Lin Feng bowed after listening to Fan Fanzhi's words, and then turned around and left Fan Fanzhi's palace.

At present, the Cham army has laid down heavy troops at all the important checkpoints, and can intercept them if they find it.

Next, Lin Feng decided to take people to start searching the mountain.

Even if you go through all the hills, you have to search for a few people.

At this time, the woodcutter and the others had long since moved away from their original habitat.

The boatman's injuries had stabilized by the third day.

For the sake of safety, several people began to walk slowly along the route of the coachman that night.

In order to take care of the boatman's body, they walked a short distance every day, and in addition to hiding their whereabouts, they also tried to hunt some wild beasts to satisfy their hunger.

It took them more than 100 miles to travel more than a dozen days, but the boatman's injuries were much more relaxed.

Although the boatman is still unable to exercise, the wounds stitched on his body have begun to scab over.

The pain in the inner abdomen is also decreasing day by day.

On this day, the group came to a valley.

The woodcutter hunted a few hares and two pheasants, then found a water source and prepared a fire for cooking.

It was still early in the morning, and the fog in the forest had not yet cleared, and even if you lit firewood, you would not be noticed.
