Chapter 646 Amazing Fortune

Stream seeking.

Now it can be called Liuqiu Country.

From the Liuqiu Islands to Da Liuqiu Island, the range is still very large.

In addition to Daliuqiu Island, there are too many islands in Liuqiu County Island.

Recorded in the Sui Dynasty.

In the first year of Daye, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, ordered Yuqiwei Zhu Kuan to go to the sea to visit other customs. When he arrived at Liuqiu Island, he was arrested because of language barriers.

Afterwards, Yang Guang sent people to Liu to ask for relief several times, but Liu begged the country to refuse. In the end, Yang Guang was very upset, so he sent troops to attack him and arrested thousands of people.

of course.

There has always been a controversy in the historian circles, that is whether the Liuqiu mentioned in the Sui Dynasty is Liuqiu Jundao or Liuqiu Dadao, which is where the current Wanwan is located.

Until now, there has been no definite number.

But here, the Liuqiu mentioned by Li Chongyuan, from the south of Wa Kingdom to Da Liuqiu Island, is collectively referred to as Liuqiu Island, and of course, it is also collectively referred to as Liuqiu Country.

The Liuqiu country is in chaos, because besides the many islands, it cannot be controlled in the country, and there are many pirates.

Even the country of Wa covets the islands of Liuqiu country.

Naturally, this Liuqiu country also had wars with the Wa country from time to time.

However, because Liuqiu Kingdom is located on the sea, if Wa Kingdom wants to occupy some islands of Liuqiu Kingdom, it can only occupy the islands in the north of Liuqiu Kingdom and close to the place where Wa Kingdom is located.

As for the islands that are closer to Da Liuqiu Island, Wa Kingdom has no choice but to look at the ocean and sigh. Even if Wa Kingdom attacks with pirates, it will not be able to take down the other islands of Liuqiu Island.

As for Daliuqiu Island, don't even think about it.

but.

When Li Chongyuan learned from Chen Huan and the others that there were many pirates on Daliuqiu Island, it was basically impossible for the Liuqiu Kingdom to control the entire Daliuqiu Island.

After hearing Li Chongyuan's words, Chen Juan didn't take it seriously and said: "Yuan'er, do you know how much money we plundered from the sea this time? The pirate's money is also from robbery, and Yuan'er is going to build a ship here factories, and to build large ships, the more money the better.”

"Aunt Juan, this is not good. Besides, you have worked so hard to get it back. Brothers, you can't let them go for nothing. Aunt Juan, I will keep the money you got. When I am short of money I'll ask Aunt Juan again." Li Chongyuan has the nerve to ask for the money they got.

Although, the boat belongs to Li Chongyuan.

But after all, Li Chongyuan wanted something from them, otherwise, Li Chongyuan would definitely accept the money.

As for how much money they robbed and brought back, Li Chongyuan estimated that it would not be so much that even Li Chongyuan was shocked.

At least.

Judging from the water level of the ship, no matter how long the C-[-] paddle steamer was, it would not be able to hold much copper coins.

But just when Li Chongyuan was thinking about how much money can be loaded into three ships, one big, two small, and three ships, Chen Huan smiled, "Chongyuan, you probably think that what we got back were copper coins. Let me tell you, in big At sea, although copper coins are used, they are useless, and there are copper coins from various countries, and we don’t like them, we only want gold and silver or silverware, and we don’t look at anything else.”

When Chen Huan said.

Li Chongyuan was immediately dumbfounded.

Li Chongyuan used copper coins to calculate habitually.

But I didn't expect that above the sea, copper coins are not necessarily the currency in circulation.

After all, the pirates on the sea are not only from one country, but even from many countries.

There are people from the Tang Dynasty, there are people from the Wa country, there are people from Liuqiu, there are people from the Nanyang Islands, there are people from Kunlun, and there are some Westerners.

Naturally, this copper coin will not become a large-scale currency, and it will only be used in a small area. After all, people in Western countries do not use this thing, and it is useless to take it back.

Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded.

It's really stupid.

He was thinking in his heart, the water level of the three ships, one big, two small, all exceeded the warning line. With such a deep draft, how much gold and silver would be spent.

Chen Juan looked at Li Chongyuan's surprised look, and smiled slightly with narrowed eyes.

And Chen Huan laughed loudly, pointed at Li Chongyuan and said: "Chongyuan, why don't you go and have a look. Don't take your worries to heart, brothers won't have any opinions. Chuan Ke Yours, we just use your boat to make money for you. When your big boat is built in the future, we can go directly to the sea to snatch a few more of him. At that time, let alone get all the money for building the boat back. Maybe I can grab some girls for you and come back to warm your bed."

wipe.

Li Chongyuan frowned when he heard Chen Huan's words.

This girl is not a good person.

He wanted to grab a few girls and warm his bed for Li Chongyuan, what's the matter with that?

The women outside are not as clean as the women in the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe it has already become a boat of ten thousand people.

No.

Absolutely not.

As soon as Chen Huan mentioned women, Li Chongyuan immediately thought of the little lady he saw in Li Zhuang.

Immediately.

Li Chongyuan's face suddenly turned red.

And when Chen Huan saw Li Chongyuan's face suddenly turned red, he laughed again and pointed at Li Chongyuan and said, "Hahahaha, Chong Yuan, you haven't touched a woman yet, right? That's not okay, we'll wait Just hold the baby. For women, you can leave it on us. After a while, we will go to sea again and grab dozens or hundreds of women back for you. "

wipe.

After Li Chongyuan listened again, he felt that Chen Huan was really not a good person.

Grab and grab at every turn.

Li Chongyuan could understand robbing pirates, but it would be bad if he helped Li Chongyuan rob women.

Moreover, from the beginning, it was said to grab a few, but now it has been upgraded to grab dozens or hundreds.

If he continued, he would probably have to say that he would snatch thousands of women back.

Chen Juan, who was sitting opposite Li Chongyuan, saw the embarrassment on Li Chongyuan's face, and quickly smoothed things over and said, "Yuaner, the gold on board is estimated to be two thousand catties, and there are more silver and silverware, not less than five thousand catties. Of course , and some other treasures, at least tens of thousands of catties. You can see whether to send them back to Xixiang or put them here. If so, we will sail back to Xixiang tomorrow."

wipe.

Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded again when he heard Chen Juan's words.

Two thousand jin of gold, five thousand jin of silver and silverware, and no less than ten thousand jin of other treasures.

How much does this cost.

Fortunately, the C-[-] paddle steamer still has some loading capacity, otherwise, the small paddle steamer would have been overwhelmed long ago.

Li Chongyuan never expected to get so much money back by going out to sea.

One catty of gold can cast five golden cakes.

Two thousand catties of gold equals 1 gold pancakes. If one gold pancake is exchanged for eighty-nine guan, that is [-] to [-] guan copper coins.

And the silver ingot is comparable to half a gold pancake at the moment.

When the exchange rate is high, it can even be as high as six copper coins.

A catty of silver is basically cast into five silver cakes. Therefore, the quantity of silverware of five thousand catties can be cast at least [-] silver cakes.

Calculated in this way, it is more than 12 yuan.

Adding [-] jin of other treasures, Li Chongyuan didn't even know how to calculate it.

After hearing the words of the second daughter, Li Chongyuan got up quickly, and went to the boat with the second daughter to see the treasures of tens of thousands of catties they said.

After Li Chongyuan watched it, he was shocked again.

There are mostly pearls, as well as various agates, corals and other things.

This is much more valuable than gold and silver.

Li Chongyuan did a rough calculation, and estimated that this treasure worth tens of thousands of catties was worth at least 60 to [-] guan.

After Li Chongyuan finished the calculation, he swallowed hard.

As for the second daughter, after she led the brothers from Qingfengzhai out to sea, she directly brought Li Chongyuan a wealth of 80 guan.

This is just one trip.

If he went two more times, Li Chongyuan could be sure that Li Chongyuan would have enough money to build the ship.

"Yuan'er, is this money enough for you to build five big ships?" Chen Juan asked after viewing the treasures on the ship and after the group got off the ship.

Li Chongyuan nodded heavily, "Enough, enough. I did some calculations just now, and the money on board is estimated to be worth at least 80 yuan. The cost of each large ship I want to build is estimated to be 12 yuan. If more materials are used, it may reach [-] guan.”

"Based on this calculation, the money on the ship is not much. At most, we can only build five or six large ships. Chongyuan, the shipyard in Xixiang can build a few more ships. If they are finished, let them hurry up Get the boat here. After we have rested, we will go to sea again later, and then I will bring you several boats of treasure back." Chen Huan turned his head and said immediately after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

Li Chongyuan smiled.

Li Chongyuan now has two ships.

In addition to Chen Juan's C-[-] paddle steamer, and two small paddle steamers that were originally used to verify the design and technology, there are only three big and two small paddle steamers.

Although Xixiang is still working hard, it is impossible to build two ships in a short period of time.

but.

Li Chongyuan saw that Chen Juan and the others had robbed so much wealth and returned after they went out to sea, which made Li Chongyuan a little moved.

This is not 80 guan, this is not [-] guan, this is [-] guan.

After going out for a few months, you can get so much wealth, even Li Chongyuan, who is not easy to fight, has begun to think of going to sea to plunder pirates.

Li Chongyuan, who was moved by his thoughts, looked at the two of them and said: "Aunt Juan, Aunt Huan, there are only two ships at present, and the shipyard in Xixiang has never stopped. It is estimated that two new ships will be built before the end of the year. But , we now have three medium-sized paddle steamers, plus two small ones, which is enough for the time being. As for you going to sea, although I have no objection, brothers still need to comfort you , after all, the treasures on board were obtained by their lives."

"Chongyuan, don't worry. They have been with us for many years, you don't have to worry about their affairs. Besides, you also gave their family a place to settle down. It's too late for them to appreciate you. As for money, of course We need to share some with them, and we will arrange these." Chen Huan knew that Li Chongyuan was worried, so he comforted Li Chongyuan.

And what Li Chongyuan said was true.

If so much money is given to Li Chongyuan, it is inevitable that some people will have a little resentment in their hearts.

Moreover, there are so many people in Qingfengzhai, if they don't divide them, it will easily cause civil strife.

Li Chongyuan couldn't control the people in Qingfengzhai, let alone Chen Juan, so he could only come up with some ideas to appease them.

As for the internal situation of Qingfengzhai, Li Chongyuan didn't know.

Li Chongyuan really wanted to know, wanted to control the entire Qingfeng Village, but the two people in front of him were still there, so Li Chongyuan really couldn't make such a move.

Again.

Chen Juan and Chen Huan treated him very well, so good that Li Chongyuan even hoped that his mother who died young would come back to life, so he asked carefully about himself.

80 guan, if you say give him Li Chongyuan, give him Li Chongyuan.

If this is not true love for Li Chongyuan, then what is sincerity.

Li Chongyuan took the money.

Li Chongyuan also handed over the boat to Chen Juan and the others.

Three C-type paddle steamers, plus two small paddle steamers, have expanded the entire fleet again, and it seems that it has a better appearance.

After Li Chongyuan handed over the two new paddle steamers to Chen Juan and the others, the brothers in Qingfengzhai began to intensify their training.

during training.

Whether the speed of the ship is good, or whether it is stable or not, they all exclaimed incessantly.

After the reinforcement of Xisha Island was completed, the shipyard also began to build.

With the efforts of the Shi family, the pier was built.

Xiangjiuxiangshi and the others are busy on the Yangtze River and the Hanshui River every day, either helping Li Chongyuan to get wood, or transporting various materials.

Xingba became the supervisor of the transportation of stones, and as for the Taoist leader, he became a doctor again.

As long as there are injuries or headaches, they basically handle these things with several other doctors.

In a flash, the time has entered December.

One day, when the weather was cold, Chen Juan and the others came to Li Chongyuan's wooden house, "Yuan'er, it looks like the weather is good these days, we are going to go out to sea again, see if you can get someone to help us get some vegetables Come on. On the boat, if you don’t order vegetables, it’s really hard to cook.”

"Aunt Juan, Aunt Huan, didn't you agree to go to sea next year? It's almost New Year's Eve now, you can't let all the brothers not go home to reunite with their families and celebrate the New Year together? Besides, go now , the situation at sea is unknown, and there are few ships. Wait until next year, and next year we can add two more C-type paddle steamers. At that time, I will go to the sea with Aunt Juan and you to have a look." Li Chongyuan heard Chen Juan They wanted to go to sea again, so they immediately dissuaded them.

Chen Juan looked at Chen Huan, and Chen Huan pouted, looking a little reluctant.

However, what Li Chongyuan said was not wrong. They have not been home for more than half a year since they came out.

The brothers in Qingfengzhai really need to go home and reunite with their families.

Half a day later, after Chen Juan and Chen Huan made eye contact, they said, "Okay then, according to what Yuan'er said, let the brothers go home to celebrate the New Year with their families first, and this year we will also spend a good time with Yuan'er." year."
