After seeing Zhao Yan and getting his understanding, Li Changjie immediately rushed back to Jiaozhi Shenglong Mansion. I don’t know if it was because Zhao Yan reminded him that Li Rizun had a murderous intention to kill him, which made Li Changjie rush back to prepare?

For Zhao Yan, Jiaozhi's affairs were just a small episode when he came to Deepwater Port. His main purpose was to investigate the situation here, so in the next period of time, his figure appeared almost in various places in Deepwater Port. In addition, Wang Shi asked him to accompany him to introduce it, otherwise he would not be able to understand the operation of the entire Deepwater Port in a short period of time.

In fact, the situation in the deep water port is simple and simple, because it is just a port for the berthing and supply of ships, and only a small number of sea commerce will do transactions here, so the port only needs to provide various supplies such as food and fresh water to merchant ships that dock in the port. In addition, the most common places for entertainment are various places. After all, life at sea is too boring, so after the ship docks, the crew members on the ship will find a place to vent their vent at the first time.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that in addition to various warehouses, the most common ones are casinos and brothels on the wharf of the entire Deepwater Port. There is no need to mention the casinos. Although the gameplay is different, it is still two words, that is, "gambling". As for the brothels, it is a bit interesting. Because Deepwater Port was originally the territory of Jiaozhi, the natives here still account for the majority, so the women in the brothels are also local women, but these women are all black and thin. It is estimated that in addition to local men, only those seafarers who have been at sea for several months can do it.

Deepwater Port needs to provide supplies to ships passing by, so the demand for food and freshwater is naturally very huge. Deepwater Port is close to the sea estuary of Jinfuliang's house, and has rich freshwater resources, so there is no need to worry about freshwater. However, food is more troublesome. In the past, the port purchased from the surrounding Jiaozhi area. However, during this period, Jiaozhi suddenly prohibited transactions between the surrounding areas and the deepwater port, which forced the deepwater port to look for various sources of supply outside, which also brought some trouble to the port.

Another one is the repair of ships by the port. It is inevitable that the sea navigation will encounter wind and waves or other troubles, which will always cause some damage to the ships. Therefore, there are special ship repair yards in the deepwater port, which can repair some ships. However, because the construction time of the deepwater port is too short, there is no real shipyard in the port. Now, with the development of the port, people are gradually getting the demand for shipbuilding. During this period, the officials of the deepwater port are also discussing the shipyard. However, Zhao Yan had promised Su Song that he would open a shipyard in Qiongzhou, which is not far from here, so after the shipyard in Qiongzhou, there is no need for the deepwater port.

Zhao Yan spent nearly five days to transfer the entire deep-water port, and he remembered all aspects of the port in his heart. Even if time permits, Zhao Yan really wanted to set sail from the deep-water port, and then headed south to the South Ocean. Speaking of which, he had never been to the South Ocean in his previous life. So now it is just enough to make up for this regret.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yan's idea of ​​going to Nanyang is destined to be impossible. First, Zhao Yan has promised Cao Ying and the others this time that it will never exceed a month. Now it has been more than half a month, so he must rush back as soon as possible to avoid worrying them.

In addition, the Nanyang is not the Nanyang in later generations. Not only are there winds, waves and reefs everywhere, but pirates are also rampant. The most important thing is that Zhao Yan and his ships are not good either. Although this is already the largest sea boat in the Song Dynasty, its ability to resist wind and waves is still limited. Zhao Yan didn't want to hit himself to the bottom of the sea with a gust of wind and waves, so he finally gave up the tempting idea of ​​going to Nanyang.

Deepwater Port is Zhao Yan's last stop for the Great Song Dynasty sea trade industry. Next, he will return to Guangzhou to officially take over the sea trade industry. And based on his understanding of the sea trade industry during this period, he has formulated the next development plan for the Great Song Dynasty sea trade. Zhao Yan already has a general idea in his mind, and it depends on how to implement it.

However, just when Zhao Yan and his fleet were about to leave the deep water port, the mine he had buried for Jiaozhi before finally broke out. After Li Changjie returned to Jiaozhi, he found out that Li Rizun had indeed become murderous about him, and he also secretly weakened his strength. He had been loyal before and did not think about this. Now, after Zhao Yan's reminder, with his wisdom, Li Rizun's thoughts can naturally be easily seen.

Speaking of which, although Li Changjie is older and a eunuch, the more people like him, the more they cherish their lives. In particular, he always thinks that he has made countless contributions to Jiaozhi. If he dies in the end, he is a bit worthless. It is precisely because of this idea that Li Changjie immediately started to fight back, but he did not think about rebelling, but planned to have a certain strength to protect himself.

Li Changjie has been in Jiaozhi for decades and has an extremely high reputation in the army. It is estimated that this is the main reason why Li Rizun is suspicious of him. In addition, Li Changjie had suffered consecutive defeats against the Song army before. Although Li Rizun did not say it, he was already dissatisfied with him. The two main reasons combined, coupled with the provocation of some ministers who were jealous of Li Changjie, finally made Li Rizun have a murderous intention to kill Li Changjie. Unfortunately, he did not expect that Li Changjie not only got the understanding of the Song Dynasty, but also returned safely.

Li Changjie relied on his prestige in the army and some of the formerly trained direct descendants that he quickly attracted a group of generals. In addition, Li Changjie was worried that he would be plotted against by Li Rizun again, so he simply took his family and his direct descendants to live in Nanding City, not far from the deep water port, and took the initiative to contact the deep water port and expressed his willingness to provide various supplies. It seems that Li Changjie also knew that it would be difficult to compete with Li Rizun alone, so he planned to rely on the big tree of the Song Dynasty.

Li Rizun is not a fool either. In fact, when Li Changjie returned from the deep water port, he felt something was wrong. When he found out that Li Changjie was trying to stop him, it was too late to stop him. Then Li Changjie led his men to Nanding City. Although Li Changjie was not unfair to rebel, he had already cedeed the land and became king. Although Li Rizun was very angry about this, he had no choice. Unless he made up his mind to fight for great losses to directly send troops to destroy Li Changjie, there was no other way at all. But now he was determined to be defeated by Yixue before, so he naturally refused to easily damage his strength.

Zhao Yan did not show much interest in this political struggle within Jiaozhi, because he knew that Li Changjie and Li Rizun could not fight. Although the internal part was broken, on the whole, there was no great damage to Jiaozhi's strength. Even if there was a war with the Song Dynasty in the future, they might even join forces. Therefore, Zhao Yan did not place too much hope for Li Changjie. Even because Li Changjie is too close to the deepwater port, Zhao Yan also specifically instructed the port officials to be careful of Li Changjie's movements, and after he returned this time, he planned to send some more naval troops to the deepwater port.

After leaving the deep water port, Zhao Yan and his fleet returned on the same route. When passing through Qiongzhou, Zhao Yan and his team stayed at Su Song for another day. Although they had only left for a while, Su Song had already selected the location of the shipyard and began to organize civilians to carry out some early construction. As for the Shilu Iron Mine, he did not move for the time being. After all, the benefits of this iron ore are too great, and it must be waited until Zhao Yan sent the army to formally mine it.

After saying goodbye to Su Song, Zhao Yan and his fleet went on a few days of sailing and finally returned to Guangzhou again. It was just a month since he left. Cao Ying and the others were very happy to come to the dock to greet him when they heard the news of Zhao Yan's return. Among them, Siyue and a few other little guys saw their father, they all shouted and ran forward. Zhao Yan happily picked up their children one by one and turned around for a few times. The month after leaving, he thought about these little guys the most.

He took his wife and children to the carriage back home. Before Zhao Yan came to Guangzhou, Princess Chen had prepared a house for them. Although the scale was not as large as the villa in Kaifeng City, it was as quiet as the southern gardens. Zhao Yan was also very satisfied with this. When he browsed the gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou in his previous life, he had the dream of owning such a garden, and now his dream has finally come true.

In the evening, Zhao Yan held a banquet at home, to welcome him and Cao Song and others, and to summarize his experiences along the way and everyone's views on how the sea trade will develop in the future. Cao Song, Xu Yuan and others were looking forward to this for a long time, so they all came early.

In addition to asking Cao Song to make an appointment with Xu Yuan, Wang Shi, and others, Zhao Yan also specially invited Cai Jing. Although Cai Jing is just a governor of Guangzhou, the port of Guangzhou is too special, so some things can't be avoided. Cai Jing is now interested in showing goodwill to Zhao Yan, so there are some things that don't have to hide from him. Of course, if Cai Jing wants to use any tricks, Zhao Yan will let him know the consequences of offending him!

According to the rules of the banquet, no one mentioned the important matters about the sea trade at the beginning. After the three rounds of wine, Zhao Yan said: "Everyone, everyone has almost transferred the southern coast. Do you have any good opinions now? Can you please raise them now?"
