Chapter 60: Ten Thousand Treasure Ships
Two years later, Tang Sen returned to Xiling with Xu Shuhui.
At that time, Tang Zuo had been promoted to the steward on the second floor of the steel bone building, responsible for assigning tasks.
Tang Sen officially returned to Xiling, served in the Battle Hall, and applied to go out of the house to establish a mansion, and spent almost all the money to buy the mansion on the edge of the Wutang.
As a result, at the beginning, there was only one steward and two mothers-in-law under Fubo, and the mansion was very deserted at that time.
Tang Luo has been familiar with the name Tang Zuo since he was born, because as long as it is a difficult attack and attack task, he will assign it to Tang Sen, which makes Xu Shuhui have a great opinion about the steward of this martial arts.
But as a man at that time, Tang Sen didn't think so, but was very excited, because the most dangerous tasks had the most rewards and rewards.
Because he needed a lot of money, he didn't want Xu Shuhui to live a hard life with him, so he gladly accepted all the tasks assigned to him by Tang Zuo, and won every battle.
In this way, the mansion became rich at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and because they had been completing the most difficult tasks, the warriors of the martial arts hall were all happy and convinced by Tang Sen.
In Tang Luo's memory, he had never seen his father injured, and as long as there was no task, the family would eat together.
Maybe his mother died early, and he felt that his life was the happiest now when he was a child and his sister depended on him.
But just because you don't fight for something doesn't mean that others will let you go.
As Tang Luo grew up day by day and younger siblings were born one after another, the competition between Tang Zuo and Tang Sen tended to be infinitely hot.
Those who supported Tang Zuo were all the Tang clan disciples of the No. 1 cultivation field and the martial artists of the main lineage, as well as the sons of dozens of branch families.
But Yishui'er who supported Tang Sen was a warrior of the battle hall, and the two sides were at a stalemate, and finally when Tang Luo was ten years old, the elders of the Tang clan made up their minds.
Let Tang Zuo, who is also at the pinnacle of metamorphosis, fight with Tang Sen, after all, whether to decide the first seat of the martial arts hall, or to speak by force, which has also won the approval of the first seat of the previous martial arts.
The battle took place in a closed cultivation room, and only the elders of the Tang clan were allowed to watch the battle.
Although he didn't know the process, Tang Luo was sure that Tang Sen had won, because since that day, Tang Zuo had become the head of the Tang fleet, and left Xiling with a large number of warriors in treasure ships to trade in other states.
And Tang Sen became the second seat of the martial arts, and two years later, he directly became the first seat of the martial arts, and that year, he was thirty-four years old.
The treasure ship is the biggest heritage of Xiling.
Because this ship is a super giant ship built by the Tang Mi clan for a hundred years, as a major commercial city, Xiling has no special products, whether it is ore or jewelry, and even gold mines are only two.
At that time, the patriarch of the Tang clan determined that if he continued to develop peace behind closed doors like this, not to mention further, a city like Qingshui County alone could threaten Xiling, and what kind of peace could be talked about.
The two clans decided to organize voyages, develop trade, and train their troops.
But because of mutual jealousy, so a covenant was made, and the two clans worked together to build a giant ship and trade together.
The two clans invited the master of the Yuanzhou Ou family to design a steel giant ship for the two clans, and the final thing presented was this treasure ship called Wancheng.
The largest treasure ship is 124 meters long and 56 meters wide, with a displacement of 28,000 tons and a capacity of 21,000 tons.
The giant ship has 50 groups of sea vessels, 200 ships, and the maximum speed can reach 40 knots per hour. It carried hundreds of armor soldiers, thousands of immortal bird archers, and the military strength standard even reached the siege level.
This was the first expedition of the Mitang and Tang tribes.
The merchant Wancheng treasure ship starts from Xiling, travels against the current from east to west, goes out of the Lingjiang River to the Liaojiang River all the way to the south, and travels dozens of cities.
After 10,000 miles from the Liaojiang River and the Longjiang River, the Wancheng treasure ship suddenly changed from a merchant ship to a warship, and began to plunder the coastal cities and the ships that met by chance.
Along the way, the small cities were in ruins, and the treasure ship warriors led by dozens of fierce realms rushed into those unsuspecting clans and began to plunder.
Gold and silver jewelry, exercise cheats, spirit beast beauties.
The steel giant ship carried a shipload of demons that came and went like the wind, and it was only a matter of hours between the heavy damage of the coastal city and the end of the attack that the names of the generations of families were erased.
Traders, how can there be robbery fast?
The first expedition was only a year later, not because of the encounter with the enemy, but because of the amount of loot, and even the treasure ship could not be loaded.
The treasure ship and crew that returned to Xiling were treated like heroes, and the crew generously threw their own receipts across the strait.
Gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques, it seems that each one has become a great wealth.
And Tang Mi's two clans, after the first voyage, became fat in waves.
Why when Xiling has developed to a giant city with a population of three million today, the Tang Mi Er clan still firmly occupies the top two positions in Xiling and has been deadlocked, is it that no one can develop better than the two clans for hundreds of years.
Of course, it's not because of how outstanding the Tang Mi and the two clans are.
The reason is that the two clans sail on a regular basis, and there is a way that horses have no night grass and no fat, and the clan has no windfall and no wealth.
When it was discovered that "business" was the key to development, the two clans began to build a second treasure ship with a tacit understanding.
The rest of the story is a bit cliché.
Through plundering and trading, the Tang Mi family became richer and richer, and the number of treasure ships has changed from one to two.
But every time they do business, the two clans still sail at the same time with a very tacit understanding, although the current waterway has changed, but the wind of comparison between the two clans is getting heavier and heavier.
Voyages are also taking longer and longer, and what used to take a year to complete now takes two or three years.
And every time the treasure ship returns to Xiling, it is the biggest festival in Xiling.
Because you can see mountains of gold and silver spilling from the boat to both sides of the river like garbage, and even some amber jewelry was thrown into the Lingjiang River to pray for blessings.
The old people in Xiling said that when the treasure boat returns, you don't have to work, run along the river bank and follow the treasure boat, and the harvest of a day will be more than your hard work.
And when the treasure ship returned, it was when the prostitutes in Xiling were tired and broke their waists.
The fierce sailors would rush into the brothel with a large amount of gold and silver.
When the treasure ship returns, it seems that the entire economy of Xiling will have an explosion, and there will be many children of the Tang Mi and Mi clans who are out of the house, and there will also be a large number of children lingering in Qinglou.
The return of the treasure ship is no longer a grand event for the Tang and Mi families, but has become a celebration for the entire Xiling.
Intelligence said that the treasure ship would return to sail in February at the latest.
And this time, the treasure ship's loot is beyond imagination.
