Chapter 535: The Slave Ship Is Back
The harbor comes alive.
Ships in the distance were approaching, and there were hundreds of them.
With so many ships, the Navy was naturally shaken.
Could it be that the enemy is coming?
Hurriedly set up a defensive line on the coastline, and now there are court officials in Qingzhou City, so there can be no losses!
Otherwise, the Qingzhou Navy will really be doomed!
However, when Cheng Chubi heard what was happening in the harbor, he hurriedly took Dugu Qiujian and others and walked towards the harbor.
When he saw the ships on the sea fluttering the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chubi was very happy in his heart.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, let's go back to Qingzhou City to set up defenses." Liu Renliang couldn't help but say, seeing so many ships, his whole body was already a little trembling.
There are more than 1,000 sailors in Qingzhou, and there are less than 20 ships in the navy, which can be said to be pitiful.
Now more than a hundred big ships suddenly appeared, which made Liu Renliang tremble, if King Qin encountered an accident here, his career would be over.
However, Cheng Chubi laughed and strode forward.
"Come on, prepare a boat for me, I'm going to the front." Cheng Chubi pointed ahead and said.
"Your Highness, no!" Liu Renliang hurriedly spoke.
"Your Highness, the situation is unknown, let's wait." Liu Renyuan also hurriedly spoke.
"Your Highness, think twice."
"Your Highness, please think twice."
“……”
The ministers hurriedly stopped Cheng Chubi, the situation ahead was unknown, Cheng Chubi, as a prince, how could he personally get into danger?
"See? The fluttering dragon flag is the dragon flag of my Datang, if nothing else, it should be a person from the Tang Dynasty, and it is also my old acquaintance. Cheng Chubi said happily: "You go and prepare some hot water first, hire some people, and wait for those foreign women to wash." ”
"Your Highness, now that the weather is warm, you don't need hot water, right?" Liu Renliang said.
"That's right, then get some clean clothes." Cheng Chubi smiled faintly: "Hurry up and prepare a boat for me!" ”
"Why don't you go soon? With me by his side, no one can hurt him. Dugu Qiujian said very confidently.
He carried a huge sword behind his back, and he was very majestic.
Soon, the people who couldn't handle it had to get a boat for Cheng Chubi, and then went to sea with Cheng Chubi.
If something happens to His Royal Highness, everyone just needs to accompany him.
I was very worried.
The ship moved slowly forward.
And at this time, on that sea, among the first ships.
A bald and blind man was looking ahead in a little anxious at this time, and when he saw that the way was blocked by the navy, he was very anxious.
I finally came back with the goods, but I didn't expect to be stopped and couldn't enter the harbor!
This has never happened before!
What the hell is this?
The blind-eyed man was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the one in front of him is the navy of the empire, and he is just an ordinary slave trader, where he dares to rebel against the navy?
At this time, a ship slowly approached forward, and a figure then boarded the boat surrounded by several people.
"Meet Your Highness!" The blind man hurriedly walked over, although he was blind in one eye, but the other eye was very clear, and he soon saw Cheng Chubi in the crowd.
Hurriedly ran over.
"Oh, that's really you." Cheng Chubi laughed and said, "I'll just say it's an old acquaintance." By the way, did you bring the goods back? ”
"Back to Your Highness, I have brought it back." Li Blind hurriedly reported and said, "Originally, it was 6,300 corpses, but when I came back, more than 20 corpses died, and they were thrown into the sea." ”
"Okay, good job." Cheng Chubi was happy and said, "Is it Kunlun goods or Goguryeo goods?" ”
"It's a kingdom."
"The price is not high." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said, "It's just ten taels of silver, more than six thousand giants, that's sixty thousand taels of silver." By the way, do you want silver or copper? ”
"Copper coins!"
"Then let's trade it for copper coins." Cheng Chubi turned around and said to the people around him: "Go and tell the military department to tell them to quickly count the population and let the empress send the money." ”
"Whoa!"
An attendant next to him quickly answered, and then was about to disembark.
The official next to him listened and was quite surprised.
I don't know what the other party transported back, it is worth more than 60,000 taels of silver.
A bucket of rice is sold for only 5 yuan, one tael of silver = 1000 copper coins, and 10 buckets = one stone.
Two pieces of silver can buy 200 buckets of rice, that is, 20 stones, a stone in the Tang Dynasty is about 59 kilograms, with today's general rice price of 1.50 yuan a catty, one tael of silver is equivalent to the purchasing power of 3,540 yuan.
The price also varies from one period to another in contemporary times, but the average is definitely not less than 2,300 yuan.
One tael of silver is equivalent to the purchasing power of 3,500 yuan, and 60,000 taels of silver is 210,000 yuan.
That's 210 million!
These ships are carrying more than 210 million cargo!
The ministers were very surprised.
Cheng Chubi is in a very good mood, very good.
Although she is a woman of the Japanese Kingdom, the offspring she gave birth to is naturally a person from the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient times, warfare, in addition to plundering territory, was to plunder population.
The population of Datang is still too small!
The years of war in the Tang Dynasty have produced a lot of injuries and diseases, and there are still many missing arms and legs.
Therefore, the current Datang is in urgent need of population, as long as the population increases, then Datang can stand forever.
Standing on the boat, the sea breeze blew slowly.
And at this time, the sea is ready with water, and a group of aunts with brushes in their hands are waiting.
Ships slowly drove into the harbor under construction, and some Japanese women were sent ashore in groups.
The women on the shore had already waited, and rudely pulled the women over, and then washed them.
For a while, the whole scene became more lively.
"Your Highness, I have something to report to you." Li thought about it blindly, and thought that it was better to say it.
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
"Your Highness, this Japanese wants to get some weapons and food from the Tang Dynasty."
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, this ...... The daimyo of the vassal kingdom of the Wa Kingdom wanted to receive the assistance of His Highness, and sent his own daughter, Your Highness, you see? ”
"Woman, you can take it yourself, I'm not interested in the women of the Japanese country." Cheng Chubi smiled faintly and said, "As for the aid, then there is no need, I am not interested in the Japanese country for the time being." ”
Yes, I really have no interest in the Japanese country now.
"Poseidon is here!"
"Poseidon is here!"
"Poseidon, look, look!"
"Oh my God, Poseidon is really here!"
At this moment, a loud commotion suddenly came to mind on the deck.
