The pirates had a lot of treasures, but they were much different from what Zeng Yi and the others originally thought. What they were looking forward to at first was the real pirate treasures, not the pirates' harvest of only half a year. But looking at the pile of gold and silver jewelry, the four of them were surprised.
People are still very happy.
The four people briefly estimated that the pirates' harvest in half a year was more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. You must know that this is only part of the pirates' harvest. According to this harvest, the Persians can get more than 100,000 taels of silver every year from these pirates alone.
Millions of silver.
"Is the maritime trade route so profitable?" The third child was surprised when he heard the fourth child's calculation!
"What do you think? Otherwise, the major guilds would be so active in developing warships?"
"Stop talking nonsense. This place is quite far from the port. Let's move the money back to the Jiaolong as soon as possible!"
The four people could not transport the treasure worth hundreds of thousands of silver back at once, so they had to carry it back and forth several times. However, the four of them did not feel tired after moving the silver. After several trips, the four of them were finally able to move the money.
Here's the Jiaolong. In fact, this batch of treasures is not just silver, but there are many other things in it. If you want to sell these things, they must go through the hands of the imperial court. Fortunately, Zeng Yi has a privateering license and only needs to share part of the profits.
, it is completely legal to exchange money in China.
Looking at the island disappearing from sight, the fourth child suddenly said: "Tell me, are there any Persian pirates alive on the island?"
"Maybe, maybe not, but what's the difference? Even if a fish slips through the net, he can't leave this island." The third child said with a disdainful smile.
Zeng Yi said on the side: "Persian pirates will soon find out that there is a problem. At that time, they will definitely send other warships. When the time comes, they will come here and find the problem. They will definitely rush to the two small islands outside Lingwai immediately.
, I’m really not willing to give up the two transit islands!”
After a moment of silence, the boss said: "How about we rope in Yangming and the others? As long as we guard this island, we will definitely be able to wait for the Persians. By then, we can follow the Persians and find the other two islands. If Yangming and the others are there, we should
If we can annihilate all the Persians, won’t we be able to get the treasures of the two islands?”
The third child snorted twice: "Haha, they just did that thing behind our backs, and we went to find them licking our faces, asking me to leave the treasure to the Persians and not to those ungrateful guys."
The three pairs of people who made them famous still had some objections to what they had done before.
Zeng Yi smiled: "You don't have to go to so much trouble. Just contact the navy directly. The navy is short of money now. As long as you tell them that you can get money, the navy will definitely be very active."
The boss was stunned, "That's right!"
The Jiaolong quickly returned to Dengzhou. Regarding the return of the Jiaolong, the Dengzhou naval forces did not show anything at first. However, when these guys saw the silver that Zeng Yi and the others had brought down from the Jiaolong, they instantly became jealous.
.
Later, even the Commander-in-Chief of the Dengzhou Navy and others arrived, "Ni, Mr. Ni, where did you get this?"
"Hey, I went out for a trip, but I didn't expect to meet a group of pirates. I took a group of pirates' lair and got some money!"
Hearing this, the Commander of the Dengzhou Fleet's eyes lit up, "Sir Ni, I heard that Ning has a privateering license. According to the regulations of the court, taxes are required to be paid on overseas harvests!"
Zeng Yi smiled, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Lord Governor, don't look at my gains here. There will be opportunities later, and they will definitely exceed my gains this time. Why?
So, are you interested?"
When the commander of the Dengzhou navy heard this, a smile instantly appeared on his face, "Master Ni, please come in!"
Zeng Yi and a group of navy bosses came to the governor's mansion of the Dengzhou navy fleet. "I wonder what Mr. Ni just said. Can you explain it in detail?"
"Of course, but the matter started a few days ago." Zeng Yi told the people of the Dengzhou navy about a series of things that happened when players attacked pirates in order to seize warships.
When Zeng Yi said that those Japanese pirates turned out to be the forces installed by the Persians in Ryukyu, his expressions changed. Their navy had always been very conceited, but they did not expect that they had installed forces under their noses for such a long time.
, they didn't find it.
"Master Ni! Are you saying that in addition to the Japanese pirates that you destroyed, the Persians also have two waves of forces in the nearby waters?"
Zeng Yi nodded, "This is information obtained from the Persians. There should be no problem."
"Are they those pirates?" The Dengzhou naval forces were not just thinking about the treasure now. As Chinese naval forces, they had to cut off the hand that the Persians were extending.
Zeng Yi shook his head, "Who is the specific person? It is estimated that no one except the leader of the Persian pirates and others will know. They hand over the treasure through the transit island. Ordinary Persians have never even seen those pirates."
Seeing everyone's silence, Zeng Yi immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone. The Persians have lost two warships. They will definitely send new warships to investigate. By then, as long as you follow the Persians, you will know about the other two waves.
Who are the pirates?"
"Yes, yes! Master Ni is right!"
The main purpose of the Dengzhou navy now is to eliminate the Persian forces. After all, if the court knows this, strictly speaking, it will be a dereliction of duty on their part. However, the navy will not give up the treasure. The navy has a very big appetite.
At first, he wanted to exchange the tax on Zeng Yi's first harvest for the treasures of the other two islands. How could Zeng Yi agree to such a thing?
Zeng Yi relied on this to fight hard, while the navy fought for it out of righteousness. They kept praising Zeng Yi and hoped that Zeng Yi would help the navy out of past friendship. After tit-for-tat for a while, Zeng Yi finally got rid of those stingy sailors.
The army deducted a layer of harvest from his hands.
After the profit distribution was determined, and the three bosses disposed of the treasures in time, the Jiaolong set off again. This time, three first-class battleships that had just been refitted were also set out with the Jiaolong. The Navy has changed the names of the battleships.
At first it was just called a first-class sailing battleship, and later it was changed to a first-class ironclad. Now it has been upgraded again. The battleship equipped with a large number of artillery is finally called a battleship!
Counting the Jiaolong, four first-class battleships form a small fleet. Although this fleet is small, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely the strongest fleet in the world!
"Four first-class battleships, the Persian pirates will never escape our Wuzhishan unless they are mobilized in full force!"
