Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 442 The Dagan Ocean Trading Fleet Returns
"Is there a problem?" Li Changfeng's tone dropped.

"No! No!" the person in charge replied quickly.

Li Changfeng nodded, turned around and was about to leave. The middle-aged man shouted: "Lord Founder, stay."

"what's up?"

"The people who burned the Azure Tree in Baishi City found some clues."

Li Changfeng's eyes flashed and he asked, "What clues."

The person in charge said seriously: "Our people went deep into the barbarian territory to investigate and found two corpses in a river. Because the temperature was very low just after winter, they were still well preserved. Judging from their clothing and body shape, as well as some of the items they carried with them, they It was determined that he was a man from Daqian, but the rotting appearance of the body was difficult to identify."

Li Changfeng frowned slightly and said: "Based on these, how can we judge that they are the ones who burned the Azure Tree?"

"Of course it's not just these. They all have fire sticks on their bodies, and they also smell of kerosene and smoke. The most important thing is that there is rubber on their clothes, and the azure tree closest to them is Right here in White Rock City, where the barbarian rubber trees are located is too far away from them!”

"How did they die?"

"There were no external injuries. After investigation, our people found signs of poisoning. It was judged that they were poisoned and their bodies were thrown into the water after death."

"Can you find out who they are?"

"We found a hidden and sealed letter home from one of the deceased, and we will soon be able to follow this clue to find out who did it."

"Okay, do both things at the same time, and notify me of the results as soon as possible!"

Li Changfeng said with murderous intent.

It took him ten years to plant the azure tree, and he invested a lot of time and energy in the early stage. If he found out who did it, he would never give up.

After leaving the Skynet stronghold, it was already dark when Li Changfeng returned home.

Early the next morning, Li Changfeng led everyone to the scientific research institute to appease everyone, saying that no matter what the cost, he would find the person behind the scenes and would do his best to ensure the safety of scientific researchers and allow them to proceed with their scientific research tasks with peace of mind.

The scientific research institute cannot be leaderless, so Li Changfeng asked Tang Yi, the highly respected dean of the medical school to produce penicillin, to temporarily act as the dean of the scientific research institute. He talked with Tang Yi for a long time before leaving.

The people in the Research Institute stabilized, and all scientific research work was carried out in an orderly manner. Only nuclear weapons research had to be suspended because Liang Dafu was not available. Li Changfeng was helpless about this.

For several days in a row, Li Changfeng went to the Research Institute every day.

To his disappointment, neither Emperor Qianwu nor Skynet found any valuable clues.

Li Changfeng could only wait patiently.

As a result, there was still no news about Liang Dafu, but Zhou Jianbo brought a number of armored warships to the Grand Canal Wharf in the capital.

Zhou Jianbo left Daqian with nine armored warships to carry out ocean-going trade for a long time. Li Changfeng was also looking forward to what he would gain. In addition, he also wanted to go out and relax, so he went to the dock with five hundred personal guards.

When he arrived at the dock, he saw two armored warships docking and unloading cargo from a distance. They were surrounded by people watching the excitement and pointing at the armored warships.

Li Changfeng looked at the draft of the other seven armored warships waiting in line in the distance, and couldn't help but look happy.

When the armored warships left full of supplies, they did not have such a draft. Now in this situation, they are obviously loaded with items. As for the specific items, it is hard to say.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has arrived!" As the guards shouted, the onlookers moved out of the way and knelt down to worship. Li Changfeng came to the dock and saw that most of the goods being unloaded were gold and silver, as well as many irregularly shaped gems. As well as some valuable spices and other items.

Everything that can be seen with the naked eye is valuable.

Li Changfeng was in a good mood. I knew that if these nine armored warships were filled with gold and silver, he would really make a fortune.

The sound of everyone paying homage to Li Changfeng was heard by Zhou Jianbo, who quickly ran off the boat and knelt down to pay homage respectfully.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"It's hard work, get up."

Li Changfeng personally helped Zhou Jianbo up and looked him up and down.

Zhou Jianbo's skin was tanned, and many places on his face were peeled off and looked extremely rough. The clothes on his body were slightly dirty, and his hands were covered with calluses. He had obviously gone through countless hardships.

However, Zhou Jianbo's eyes were very bright, shining with excitement and pride like two bright lights, and there was a fierceness about him that he had never had before.

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "It seems that the harvest is good."

Zhou Jianbo's eyes shone with excitement.

"It's not just good. This is not about making money, it's just picking up money! Your Highness, you don't know how backward those small tribes and countries on the sea are. Seeing our big armored warships is like seeing gods. The goods we brought..."

As he talked, Zhou Jianbo started dancing and looking more and more excited.

This trip to the ocean trade really gave him a lot of insights.

There are many countries dotted across the sea, and most of them are very backward. In many places, people are even in the stage of drinking blood. They don’t know the use of gold and silver at all, and they just throw diamonds and gems around as decorations. Children's toys.

They can just take out a little refined salt or even a few pieces of rags in exchange for these precious things. They can pick up a few pieces while walking on the road. It is really no different from picking up money.

Even Li Changfeng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard his description.

Is there still such a backward place now?
No wonder that guy Benjamin was so generous. Then he met such a tribe on the road and fooled or robbed him. Wouldn't he get rich?
"Does that mean these warships are filled with gold, silver and gems?" Li Changfeng asked tentatively.

"It's not that exaggerated, Your Highness. Many backward countries and tribes don't know how to mine and don't realize its value. Now this ship is loaded with gold, silver and jewelry. Most of the other ships are loaded with spices, ivory, coral and other treasures."

Li Changfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when Zhou Jianbo said this.

It would be too exaggerated if the nine armored warships were all filled with gold, silver and gems.

Once it is put into the market, it will definitely impact the purchasing power of gold and silver, which will be a fatal blow to ordinary people and Daqian business. After all, Daqian's productivity is backward and the value of its output is limited.

However, Zhou Jianbo's next words still shocked him.

"Not counting the treasures, the white ones alone are about 800 million taels, and the gold alone is 70 taels. Those treasures... I guess they are worth at least three to four million taels."

Li Changfeng was overjoyed: "Haha, good! Brothers, you are all lucky. All the crew members will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. After entering the city, they will go to the bottom of the lake to fish. If the wine is enough, the meat will be full and the meat will be eaten. It will all be counted in my prince's account!"
