Chapter 279 A Windfall

"Yes," when Yamamoto Tadashi saw Li Xian say this, he immediately made up his mind to give up all his property. Although he would have nothing from now on, if he could save one life, it would be worth it.

Later, under the guidance of Yamamoto Chuichi, Li Xian led his army to a small island. In fact, there were only more than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people left on this small island. They were unable to resist the massacre of the army. Only half of them were used.

In time, all the Japanese pirates will be killed.

After killing all the resistance forces, Li Xian actually rescued hundreds of people. Some of these people were merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and some were the navy of the Tang Dynasty who were captured alone on their way to Silla, and there were many others.

Among the Silla merchants, there were also many plundered Silla maids and Kunlun slaves, and of course, there were also family members of Japanese pirates among them.

For these people, Li Xian dealt with them separately. For the Tang Dynasty merchants, all the cargo and personnel were returned, and the rest was digested internally. He and the officers and soldiers on the ship selected some of the Silla maids and Kunlun slaves for their own use.

, all the remaining rewards were given to the Ming and Tang Dynasties. In addition, most of the goods were also awarded to the crew members who helped in the battle, as a reward for their heroic deeds of risking their lives for the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Xian would not forget to reward the fifty guards under his command, because this time they also received a total of three million coins, so Li Xian naturally wanted to lend flowers to Buddha and reward these guards.

Each of them was given a generous reward, one hundred guan of silk, and the family members of the Japanese pirates were assigned to them as slaves.

Even so, Li Xian still saved a generous sum of more than two million guan. Li Xian gave these money to Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er each 100,000 guan, and gave part of the rest to Ming and Tang Dynasties as a gift.

The other part of the start-up capital for the next great voyage plan was entrusted to the Ming Tang Company to be transported to Chang'an as the operating capital of the Tang Sect.

Of course, the people who came to the island to inspect the goods this time were all close associates of Li Xian. Even the crew members sent by the Ming and Tang Dynasties were absolutely loyal to Li Xian, so they would naturally not leak the harvest on the island.

Even Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er will not disclose it to others.

Therefore, the outposts sent by Empress Wu did not know how much property Li Xian had harvested this time, and Li Xian naturally took out 100,000 yuan of property as a token of retribution to Empress Wu and the emperor.

A kind of cover used by gong.

After a secret explanation, Li Xian left twenty guards and fifty crew members, loaded the proceeds on five large ships, and ordered them to quietly send the goods back to Datang, and ordered the remaining

The personnel packed the remaining people and belongings into the boat and brought them back to the large ship docked not far away.

The goods that Li Xian and the others brought back were only one-tenth of the total value, but they already aroused exclamation. Everyone looked excitedly at the large ship filled with goods and people, and cheered loudly.

Endless.

After that, Li Xian used the urgent task as an excuse to order the mission to set off for the Japanese country immediately.

Soon after, both Li Yiyan and Shangguan Wan'er received the money and silk from Li Xian. Fortunately, Shangguan Wan'er didn't attach much importance to property under the influence of Li Xian, and it was the first time for Li Yiyan to see such a rich gift.

A sum of money that already made his beard tremble with excitement strengthened his belief in being loyal to Prince Li Xian.

In fact, after Li Xian saw the goods on the island, he had already selected a batch of fine products and secretly hid them in his arms. He divided these fine products into three parts, one for Crown Princess Zhao Yinyue, and the other for Princess Zhao Yinyue.

Some were given to my sister, Princess Taiping, and some were given to Shangguan Wan'er and her daughter.

After the ship set sail, Li Xian quietly sent a letter to Shangguan Wan'er, asking her to meet in the cabin where he last visited.

More than a month has passed since he left Chang'an. This was the first time Li Xian took the initiative to make an appointment. Shangguan Wan'er was naturally very happy. She dressed up carefully and came to the cabin in advance.

But she didn't expect that Li Xian came earlier than her. When she stepped into the dim cabin, she suddenly heard someone laughing softly. She couldn't help but be startled and asked quickly: "Who is it?"

Li Xian chuckled and said, "After just a while, you don't recognize me anymore?"

At this time, Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and gently saluted: "His Royal Highness."

But Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Wan'er, there's no need to be polite. I came to see you today mainly because I have some gifts for you."

"Haha, Your Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you just give away 100,000 gu of wealth? Such rich wealth is enough for me, why would I need to give more?" Shangguan Wan'er said this with a feeling in her heart.

She is sweet, her face is as bright as a peach blossom, and she is smiling. Obviously, she is so happy that Li Xian can think of her.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian chuckled and said: "Although the hundred thousand guan appears to be yours, it actually belongs to my mother-in-law. It has only passed through your hands. How can this be done? With you and me

How can you gain nothing from our friendship? I have a special gift for you today."

After Li Xian finished speaking, he took out a sandalwood box from his arms, and then said with a smile: "This is a string of pearl necklaces. Each one is a famous night pearl from the East China Sea. The most important thing is that each of these beads is

They are the same size, without any flaws. You are also a person who knows the goods, so I believe you can estimate it. Just this string of beads can be worth a fortune."

"This, is this really for me?" Although the light in the cabin was dim now, after Li Xian opened the box, Shangguan Wan'er immediately saw the bright and soft light emitted by the string of pearl necklaces. Through the light, she saw the

The round luminous pearls of the East China Sea are indeed priceless treasures, and my hands can't help but tremble with excitement.

"Haha, of course it's yours. I also have a bunch of agate bracelets here, which are also of the highest quality, so I gave them to the old lady as a gift. By the way, there is also an engraved golden phoenix walking on the steps, which is also a priceless treasure, so

Give it to you together, haha, how about it? Are you satisfied with the gift I give you this time?"

As if by magic, Li Xian took out another box from his arms, opened the box, and smiled at Wan'er.

"Here, why do you give all these precious things to me? Or give them to the Crown Princess." Shangguan Wan'er was naturally moved when she saw the splendid jewelry, but knowing the value of these two pieces of jewelry,

If it gets up, it will even exceed the one hundred thousand yuan of wealth that was given to her before. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hurriedly excused it. (To be continued.)
