In the next two days, Wang Li and the staff of the trade department met many merchants from Langguo, and sold out the porcelain, silk, and jade they brought. Qin Hao was surprised to find that the turnover in the past two days was as high as 10,000+ taels.

The obtained silver taels were exchanged for the top spices and lacquerware of Langguo, and then sold to the rich and powerful when they returned to Yanguo. The profit was more than 10 taels.

No wonder Xinhuang wants to do sea trade business, this is a golden hen, Qin Hao is secretly dumbfounded, this is just a line, if there is a line every month, then countless wealth will roll in.

After the transaction, the fleet rested in Languo for two days. Qin Hao and Ajiu went to the East City together. They would buy some cute and strange gadgets and plan to give them home as gifts.

On the way to a knife shop, Qin Hao took a fancy to a samurai long sword. In the cold weapon era, fighting depends on hand-to-hand combat. He needs to prepare a handy weapon. This knife is forged from high-quality refined iron. , the blade has a cold white edge, it is a good knife, and the price is also very good, the store asked for a full 100 taels of silver.

Qin Hao touched his shriveled purse, and blackmailed the emperor's cousin in a low voice without any pressure: "Ah Jiu, give me some money, I don't have a knife to fight pirates."

"You don't even have 100 taels?" Ah Jiu's eyes widened in surprise, thinking that Brother Shan was too stingy and didn't pay Qin Hao enough money, so he waved his hand proudly: "I'll give it to you, and I'm also interested in it." Anything else? I've covered it all."

Ah Jiu readily took out the money to pay the bill, which made Qin Hao feel a little cautious. He didn't expect him to be so easy to deceive. It seems that children from rich and noble families really don't know how expensive tea, rice, oil and salt are.

"I'll give you two more gold ingots when I get back on the boat, and my aunt brought me ten more." Ah Jiu enthusiastically shared his gold, Qin Hao quickly waved his hand and refused: "Ah Jiu, I still have some silver taels, which is enough .”

Who would have the heart to be cruel when meeting someone as sincere as Ah Jiu.

Returning to the boat with the long knife they wanted, Qin Hao and Wang Li met to explore the island at night. They selected ten strong and well-versed soldiers, each with five people, and boarded two fishing boats while it was dark. , arrived at the destination in the early hours of the morning.

It took half an hour to walk around the island, and the team landed on a secluded rock group.

The island is in front of the water and behind the mountain, and you have to go through the beach by the sea. The beach is as big as several basketball courts, and four high platforms are built. On the high platforms, blazing torches are lit, and the surroundings are as bright as day. Four pirates sit on the high platforms. On the stool, be vigilant around.

Twelve people, like ghosts, sneaked into the island from the reefs on the edge of the beach. They were divided into two groups, one team was looking for the granary, and the other team was looking for the anchored boats.

Qin Hao and his party of six went deep into the island to find the location of the granary. There must be more than one granary on such a large island. The six of them were divided into two groups and quickly found out the settlements on the island.

The largest wooden house lived in the pirate leader, and with him as the center, several circles of small wooden houses extended around, where other younger brothers lived.

Qin Hao pointed to a cabin on the farthest edge, and the six of them quickly sneaked into the cabin. There were four men lying horizontally on the wooden floor, snoring one after another, and quietly knocked out two of the stronger-looking pirates. , The five flowers were tied up into rice dumplings, and then cotton cloth was stuffed into the mouth of the fainted person, and they were piled up in the corner and ignored.

The other four, in groups of two, roughly woke up the two sleeping pirates. Before they could react, they simply stuffed a ball of dirty cotton cloth into the pirates' mouths.

Their hands were suppressed, their mouths could not make a sound, and there were glaring long knives around their necks. The two pirates were so scared that they lost all blood. Their knees softened and they knelt down, begging for mercy.

"Be honest, or I will kill you." Qin Hao warned fiercely in a low voice,

The two pirates nodded, Qin Hao nodded to a soldier, and the two pirates were interrogated in two places separately.

The two pirates gave the same confession, and they even gave a clear account of the private treasury of the pirate leader. There are three granaries on the island, stockpiling a large amount of rice and grain, and the private treasury stores many rare delicacies for the pirate leader's enjoyment.

Escorting one of the pirates to lead the way, the remaining three had their throats cut and died silently in the night.

The escorted pirate curled up like a quail, not daring to ask for help, and honestly led Qin Hao and his party to find the locations of four granaries.

A group of three quickly poured a thick layer of oil on the four granaries. Qin Hao took out the flint, clicked, a flame burst out, the fire was ignited, and he was thrown into the granary. The fire spread rapidly without a stick Incense, the flames filled the sky, dyeing the entire night sky red.

Qin Hao and his party retreated quietly, and joined Wang Li's team at the beach. Five large ships and a dozen small boats were moored at the beach port. When Qin Hao appeared, Wang Li also lit a fire. There was a sea of ​​fire.

The raging fire alarmed the pirates on the watchtower. The four of them were sleepless and climbed down the high platform staggeringly. At the same time, they blew their whistles on their chests. The sharp whistle spread all over the island, and the island began to become chaotic.

These are no longer the concerns of King Qin Hao. A group of twelve people boarded the small boat hidden behind the reef, sailed away a few miles, and looked at the burning island in the distance.

Everyone pulled off the black cloth covering their faces and grinned loudly. Under the black screen, their teeth looked even whiter.

"I've been nervous all night, and I'm hungry." Wang Li opened the dry food prepared in advance with a smile, and shared a portion for each person. Everyone was not polite, so they ate voraciously with tea.

Qin Hao secretly exchanged the milk and sauced beef in the space, and under the cover of the night, he ate a full meal happily.

The fire burned until the dawn, and there was no tendency to stop. These two fires were much more powerful than imagined. Unexpectedly, there were wooden houses on the island, and they all burned in the end. Even the back mountain was implicated, and the whole island fell into In a sea of ​​fire.

At Maoshi, three huge ships came slowly. Qin Hao, Wang Li and his party boarded the big ship with 12 people. General Shan stood on the deck to greet them. Seeing the beaming faces of the [-] people, he knew that everyone had returned in triumph.

"They are all good men, and they all have rewards." General Shan patted the shoulders of the soldiers one by one, as expected of the soldiers he brought out.

A sumptuous meal was prepared in the dining hall, and the twelve people had another hearty meal. After eating their fill, they returned to the cabin to catch up on sleep. Qin Hao and Wang Li followed General Shan into the cabin to discuss the follow-up military situation.

"The fire can be seen ten miles away. With this situation, the fire can slow down and lead troops to attack the island." General Shan looked at the island from the window, thoughtfully.

Ah Jiu participated in the battle for the first time, and thought he would be able to show his talents, but now, when the fire stopped, the pirates were either burned to death or drowned, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Old Qin, Wang Li, you are too ruthless. This fire burns too much. These pirates are too weak. They can't wake up after their house is burnt like this." Ah Jiu only hated himself for not being able to join this battle. raid.

Wang Li tried his best to show a decent smile, and said proudly: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and the walrus is also good, the wind and the water are smooth."

"You and Qin Hao have worked hard too. Go to sleep first. When the fire subsides, Ah Jiu and I will lead people to the island to clean up the battlefield." General Shan was determined and told Qin Hao and Wang Li to go to rest.

Sleeping until evening, the three giant ships had already landed on the island, and General Shan and Ah Jiu had already gone to sweep the battlefield. Qin Hao got off the boat and stood on the beach. The whole island was turned into a blackened ruin, with green smoke billowing everywhere. At the corner of the beach, more than 20 soldiers were digging a big hole, and there were also people rowing boats on the sea to salvage the corpses.

Qin Hao walked quickly across the beach, towards the residence of the pirate leader. Along the way, soldiers from Yan Kingdom were carrying boxes. Qin Hao saw Ah Jiu standing in a ruin, directing something.

"Old Qin, come here quickly. You found two cellars, which were not burned." Ah Jiu waved to Qin Hao, and walked towards a corner with his arms around his shoulders.

"Brother Shan is still in the cellar, a lot of gold and belongings, goddamn pirates, they have robbed us of wild geese so many ships of silver, and they are finally going to return." Ah Jiu muttered excitedly: "It should also rob the cargo ship of Euro Country , These vicious gangsters have finally been wiped out, and the sea trade will be safe from now on."

Qin Hao also got into the cellar, and was once again overwhelmed by the piles of gold and silver treasures. What is his fate, he always meets mountains of treasures.

"Qin Hao, come and pick, you can take as many as you like." General Shan waved to him with a smile on his face, his dark face was rarely beaming with joy.

"Will the other eleven people also reward?" Qin Hao didn't want to eat alone, and he had enough gold himself.

"It's all there. After tidying up here, I will reward you for your merits after returning to Fucheng." General Shan picked up two gold bricks, weighed them, and nodded in satisfaction.

It took another night of hard work to bury the corpses of the pirates. The gold and silver treasures were boxed and transported to the bottom warehouse of the ship. Fortunately, three giant ships and several small boats were dispatched to take all the treasures away.

The small workers and ordinary officers on the ship didn't know what happened. They just thought that when the island was on fire, the soldiers disembarked to rescue them. The bottom of the boat was filled with gold.

Three huge ships pulled ten small boats back to the port of the east city of Langguo. General Shan passed on the word that the fleet was about to return in response to the urgent call of the imperial court.

The salary is still the same, and they can go home for the New Year. Everyone is very happy. Lord Wang Li waved his arms and invited everyone to have a big meal at the best restaurant in Languo. There is a happy event.

After resting in Languo for two days, the fleet also purchased sufficient supplies, and the three giant ships slowly left the port and returned to Fucheng.

Qin Hao would be able to return to Fucheng in less than two months. Qin Hao did not expect so many bizarre things to happen, but fortunately, the process went smoothly and the result was satisfactory, so he would be able to go home soon.

When the ship docked at the port of Fucheng, everyone's homesickness became stronger, and the deck was full of people, eager to line up to get off the ship.

The small workers settled their remuneration in advance, and each had a reward of ten taels. After landing, they quickly disappeared into the crowd, and the others returned to the Maritime Trade Department one after another.
