Chapter 215 Chapter Name Went on a Blind Date (4,000 words) On this day, Li Zhen could be described as bleeding profusely, because he spent tens of thousands of dollars in order to buy a baby.
But on the same day, Li Zhen harvested a lot, because the treasures he received were actually filled with several boxes.
You must know that this is not an ordinary thing, what can be seen by Li Zhen is at least more than 100 things.
Although there are more than 10,000 treasures like pearl watermelons again, there are many babies that are slightly inferior.
For example, someone fished up a coral from the bottom of the sea, the whole is red like fire, just put it in the sun, it actually reflects the surrounding three-foot area into a fiery red, which can be described as extremely rare, but it is a pity that the size is too small, only less than one foot, otherwise if it is a little bigger, its value is definitely not under the pearl watermelon, and finally this red coral was pocketed by Li Zhen for a price of 5,000 yuan, named flame coral, and the precious one was hidden.
Another example is that someone fished out a vertebra fossil from the bottom of the sea, which is three zhang long, three feet thick, and there is a broken stubble at the end, but this vertebra is definitely more than three zhang, it must be longer, and I don't know what sea beast left behind, and then I didn't find the rest of the body parts all around, which was very mysterious, and was bought by Li Zhen for two thousand guan and sent to the specimen room.
Another example is that someone fished out a tortoiseshell shell from the sea, which was bigger than a bed, like a huge cauldron, enough for two people to lie in it without crowding, and the thickest place was more than two feet, and finally Li Zhen directly waved his hand to win it with 3,000 yuan. …… If this batch of treasures is sent back to Datang for sale, then the money obtained Li Zhen can build dozens of battleships again, and he can form one or two fleets without worrying about running out of ships.
Of course, these treasures are what he is interested in, and they are also his favorite things, as long as it is not a last resort, Li Zhen will never raise his head to look into the distance, the vast Yangtze River is quietly spread out in the distance, like a fluttering and undulating yellow ribbon.
These treasures were sold.
The treasure hunt incident became more and more intense, and in the end, not only the guards around Li Zhen, but even the people who stayed on the ship couldn't help it, and went to the sea to hunt for treasure, as for whether they were infected or not, no one cared anymore - anyway, didn't the White Bird Divine Doctor already go to find a miracle medicine to cure the disease?
With him, the plague is just a sprinkler.
It's just that there are treasures in this Xianben Sea area, but there are not many things that can really be seen by Li Zhen after all, and there will be less than twenty things that he really buys.
But having said that, the rest of the people are not without harvest, on the contrary, it can be said that everyone is full of harvest, at least it is no problem to go back and build a few big houses.
And although other people's gains can't enter Li Zhen's eyes, Li Zhen also gave them an appraisal for free, each of which has a corresponding value, and it can be sold for a lot of money when brought back to the Central Plains, which also makes them have a bottom in their hearts.
For example, there was a cook who fished out a big mussel in the seawater, and actually found more than 100 pearls of different sizes from it, although each of these pearls is not worth much, but it is only three or five times, and it can't get into Li Zhen's eyes, but the value of more than 100 pearls can also make him earn at least 500 yuan, enough to buy ten acres of good land, so that he didn't faint excitedly.
There are also people who fished out a large number of sea crabs in the sea, each of which is at least a foot in size, the crab is a living thing, it is not easy to bring back to Lingnan, so it had to be sold to the Huotou Army at a price, and it was sold for more than 300 yuan, and the whole fleet also enjoyed a crab feast that night.
For example, someone found a large number of shell fossils, which were not of high value, but after being sold to fellow sailors as souvenirs, they were also sold for dozens of dollars, which was a rare gain. …… It can be said that this time of the underwater treasure hunt, everyone can be said to have tasted the sweetness - before, they thought that they were just participants, everything the fleet found was the fleet, that is, Li Zhen's, and they were just participants who took hard wages, at most a little bounty.
But today's harvest has made them understand that when the fleet goes to sea, they are not only participants, they are also vested interests.
Although the bulk of the fleet's harvest is still Li Zhen's, Li Zhen does not prohibit them from making money on their own, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gave them the opportunity to make money, as long as you have vision and luck, Your Highness will definitely not be stingy.
It is this time that everyone's harvest has stimulated the maritime trade, and countless offshore fishermen have sacrificed their lives to devote themselves to the maritime trade, so that there are no fishermen on the coast later, which indirectly led to a sharp increase in the value of seafood, and some businessmen engaged in seafood trade made a lot of money.
Later, after Li Zhen knew the truth, he couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, at this time, the breeding technology of the seafood farm was mature, and Li Zhen hurriedly popularized the breeding technology, which barely suppressed the market balance, otherwise the people of Datang may have to suffer from the sky-high price of seafood for a long time.
At the same time, this event also gave birth to another profession - that is, treasure hunters, or bounty hunters.
In the beginning, these people just went to different seas to find treasures and sold them back to the Central Plains for huge profits, and later with the accumulation of experience, they began to accept the commission of merchants to find various mineral deposits or treasures of some ancient tribes.
Because it is easy to make money in this profession, the number of people who turn into bounty hunters has increased dramatically for a while, the market is mixed, and there are no reasonable management and control measures, and the bounty hunter market is chaotic for a while, and crimes, black and black, anti-employers and other behaviors emerge in an endless stream.
Later, Li Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered the establishment of the Bounty Hunters Association to manage the bounty hunters full-time, which had corresponding regulations, and the bounty hunter market gradually became orderly, and the bounty hunters entered a glorious period.
It wasn't until a few decades later that the layout of the Tang Dynasty completely swept the world, and there were Datang armies everywhere in the world, and some of the troops were simply converted into mercenaries, and the profession of bounty hunters was gradually replaced by more professional, well-trained, and disciplined Datang mercenaries.
"Your thing is worthless, it's just a fish bone."
"This gem is good, it can be sold for at least ten dollars."
"Good thing, where did you get such a large piece of diamond?
Do you sell 300 guan?
Hongu asked for it. ” “……” "Your Highness, Pei Xingjian is back."
On the afternoon of the second day, Li Zhen was still sitting there fishing, and at the same time he was happy to help people identify the harvest, and by the way, he also bought the treasures that he could see, but Luo Zhe, who was in charge of defense, brought Pei Xingjian to report at this time.
"Why did you come back at this time?"
Li Zhen muttered, I thought they would be able to come back yesterday, but who knew that it would be delayed until the afternoon of the next day, is it difficult to find herbs to cure the disease?
Or maybe something happened?
"Your Highness's forgiveness, it's not about Lord Shiratori's business, it's the responsibility of your subordinates."
Pei Xingjian said apologetically: "Actually, yesterday afternoon, Lord Shiratori had already collected enough medicinal materials, and we were actually preparing to come back at that time."
But who knew that just as we were about to return home, we were suddenly attacked by the natives again. ” "What?
These natives are so bold.
Li Zhen snorted angrily, he really didn't change his mind, knowing that there was such a huge difference in equipment between the two sides, this group of natives actually dared to continue to attack the Tang Army, this kind of behavior is good to say that it will be revenged, revenge will not be overnight, it is too stupid to say that it is too stupid, hitting stones with eggs, and not measuring their own strength.
"Looks like we're going to have to teach them a lesson."
Li Zhen said coldly, he didn't make trouble with them, this group of natives dared to go against the Tang Dynasty, they were really impatient.
The natives take revenge overnight, Li Zhen is also such a character, the difference is that he has the most powerful power in the world, and he has the capital to take revenge.
Li Zhen asked again, "And then?"
Are any of you hurt?

What did you do next?
Is there any revenge?
” "Our people didn't lose anything, and they didn't hurt anything, as for the next ......"
Pei Xingjian's face became very ugly: "The subordinates followed their traces to their lair......"
"And then?"
Pei Xingjian's face became even more ugly: "Then we found out that their lair was actually a city. ” "The city?
Are you sure it's the city?
Li Zhen suddenly stood up, there is a city, which means that there is civilization, it seems that he will stay here for a while longer, and he must assess the situation of this indigenous civilization, if there is really a threat, then he can only order to be hanged.
"Of course, it's a city, not only does it have high walls, but the walls are all made of stone, and they are unusually strong."
Pei Xingjian confirmed: "According to our measurements, their city wall is two or three miles in circumference, which is not small. ” "That's not right."
Luo Zhe suddenly interjected: "If you want to carve stones, you need at least iron tools, but according to the equipment of the group of natives who met us, let alone iron tools, they don't even have many stone tools." ” "It's not important, you go on."
Li Zhen interrupted Luo Zhe's question, stone carving does not necessarily require iron tools, if the amount is not large, it can also be carved with stone.
"The subordinates sent someone to touch their city, and it turned out that ......"
Pei Xingjian's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"What did you find?"
"It turned out to be ......
Found the city full of ......
There was no ......
There is not a single living person.
Pei Xingjian's voice was dry and intermittent, and the situation in the city made him feel unacceptable.
Li Zhen was calm: "What do you mean?"
There are no living people in the city, which means that all the people in the city are dead?
Is it the plague?
Or something else?
” "If it's all plagues, that's it."
Pei Xingjian said: "My subordinates have already prepared for this, the problem is that among all the dead, only a small number of them died of the plague, and more than seventy percent of them died by other means. ” "Oh?
How to die?
Li Zhen is even more interested, since Pei Xingjian said so, I think that the death of these people is not simple, at least it is not a massacre, after all, when Pei Xingjian was suppressing bandits in Lingnan, he did not slaughter villages and destroy villages, those indigenous villages that are usually for the people and bandits in chaos, but they were slaughtered by Pei Xingjian and a few of them.
If the dead in the city were all slaughtered, then Pei Xingjian's face should not be like this.
"Fire."
Li Zhen was stunned: "Fire?
” "They were all burned alive."
Pei Xingjian's gloomy face could drip water: "My subordinates really can't think of what mistakes those people have made, and they have to suffer such a punishment, and it is a full seventy percent of nearly two thousand people, is there no one to resist?"
” "How do you know that they were burned alive and not burned after they died?"
Pei Xingjian asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask Your Highness, do you still need to tie them to the stake by burning the corpses?"
” "I see."
Li Zhen finally understood why Pei Xingjian's face was so ugly.
Of all the punishments, burning at the stake should be considered more cruel, because it is tantamount to burning people alive, which is much more severe than the punishment of hanging and beheading.
And burning more than seventy percent of the people in the city at one time is even more cruel to the point of being unstoppable, what is going on here?
Who were the people who were burned to death?
Li Zhen has no way of knowing.
He didn't want to know either, he just wanted to know what was next.
Pei Xingjian continued: "According to Lord Shiratori's guess, he thinks that these people who were burned to death were the first to be infected with the plague.
Because in fact, even in the pre-Qin period, there was no suitable treatment for the plague, and if we were infected with the plague, we would all be burned by fire, because only in this way could the spread of the plague be stopped. ” "That's right, we did that a long time ago."
Li Zhen said, Shiratori's guess is valid, maybe things are really as he said, and it is not certain.

"As for the people who were not burned to death later, they should have no strength to burn, so they could only lie on the ground and wait to die, only the indigenous team may not have been infected because they went out hunting or some other reason, and when they came back and found out about the situation in the city, they escaped, and wanted to leave here by boat to go somewhere else, but as soon as they reached the edge of the jungle, they were hit by us."
"In that case, why is your face so ugly?"
"Your Highness, please listen to your subordinates continue."
As soon as Pei Xingjian said this, his face became gloomy again: "The problem is that when the natives we drove away entered the city, they actually carried out a brutal dismemberment of the bodies of those infected who had not yet died, dismembered all the corpses, and then cut off their heads and took them away......
It's hateful. ” "So that's what you said."
Li Zhen didn't care: "Maybe it's their custom or not." ” "That's not the case at all, the reason why they cut off the head is actually to surrender to another tribe, and this head is a vote."
Pei Xingjian said loudly: "We followed their footsteps, watched them meet with another group of natives, and then all knelt down and presented their heads with our own hands......
