Facing the danger of being bitten off by a shark at this moment is very exciting. Of course, this excitement is for Suga Ezo and Wang Shijie, when several sharks jump up again and prepare to have a close contact with them At that time, the two couldn''t care about anything anymore, and rushed to tell Li Yin the truth.


    "One is for the artillery, and the other is for the treasures on the ind." Li Yin twisted his chin and his eyes lit up. He didn''t expect that this time the harvest was not small. Maybe the money for shells and gunpowder could be earned back.


    Wang Shijie and Su Wo Eizoy down on the deck. Before recovering from their fear, Li Yin''s voice came again, "You take us now to find those treasures."


    Hearing this, Wang Shijie immediately despaired, and from now on he will have no chance to stand up.


    "Your Highness, what about this Soga Ezo? After all, he is the eldest son of the Left Minister of the Wa Kingdom, Soga Mako." Sun Dongxu tentatively asked Li Yin how to deal with Soga Ezo.


    Li Yin stared at Su Wo for a while, and said: "This is easier, let him record the statement, we will ask Su Wo for a ransom, if not, we will catch sharks in front of him! "


    "Tall! It''s really tall!" Sun Dongxu couldn''t help giving a thumbs up, he thought to himself why didn''t he think of this? Your Highness is Your Highness, not an ordinary person! At this moment, when he looked at the two of them, his eyes suddenly glowed with golden light. Listening to the two people''s discussion, Su Wo Eizo was determined to die. Even if his father paid the ransom, he would have to take off threeyers of skin after he returned, because he not only failed toplete the task, but also let the family''s navy be wiped out. destroyed.


    Made up his mind, the Yizhou fleet began to return. Afternding, Li Yin asked Zeng Zhida to **** Wang Shijie to find the treasure he buried on the ind. It didn''t take long for the soldiers to return with a full load. He carried hundreds ofrge boxes back to the barracks.


    "Your Highness, this Wang Shijie really found a lot of good things!" Zeng Zhida asked the soldiers to put more than one hundredrge boxes measuring 1.5 meters long and 1 meter high on the school field of the barracks. After the soldiers put them down, they opened all the boxes. , all kinds of jewels and gold exuded a dazzling luster under the sunlight, making everyone slightly squint their eyes.


    Li Yin squinted his eyes for a moment, then widened them suddenly. Most of these boxes were gold, and there were also a small amount of copper coins. Perhaps it was too bulky for Wang Shijie to carry copper coins, so he reced them all with gold bars and brought them back. Among these gold bars, there were also some gold coins of great weight. It is not a product of the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that he robbed foreign merchants. Besides gold, gemstones and pearls of various colors are the mostmon. Walking from one end of the boxes to the other, Li Yin counted a total of one hundred and sixty-five boxes. Among them, boxes filled with gold ounted for more than half. The harvest is indeed not small.


    "Seal these things up and ship them back to Yizhou!" Li Yin said. These gold and silver treasures are not very useful in this ce, so it is better to transport them back to Yizhou to fill the treasury. It can also ease the financial pressure on the fiefdom.


    "Yes, Your Highness!" Zeng Zhida asked the soldiers to carry the box back to the warehouse, ready to be loaded on a ship and shipped back.


    Got such a fortune. Li Yin is in a good mood, but Wang Shijie, who has been deprived of all his property, has a gray face. Now he doesn''t know what his fate will be?


    "Your Highness, what should Wang Shijie do?" Just as Wang Shijie was thinking, Sun Dongxu''s voice sounded, which made Wang Shijie''s heart immediately rise to his throat.


    Now Wang Shijie is like a bereaved dog, and he no longer poses any threat to Ryukyu, but it is a pity to kill him, because this Wang Shijie is very clear about the sea routes after decades of experience at sea. ording to his words, he He has even been to a continent full of cks, which in Li Yin''s opinion is probably Africa.


    Moreover, he was able to plunder so many Kunlun ves, which shows that he is also very familiar with the Southeast Asian waters. Therefore, Li Yin thought for a while, why not keep him as a guide, which will be very beneficial to his future colonial ns. A ruler should also have a mind that embraces all people. Although Wang Shijie is a bastard, he is also a talent. As a ruler, he should learn from the heroes of the Three Kingdoms and have a mind that tolerates others. If this Wang Shijie is not avable, it will not be toote to kill him.


    "Wang Shijie, although you are full of evil, but when this king is employing people, if you can repent at the beginning and be a qualified guide for the Yizhou Navy in Ryukyu, this king will spare your life, but if you are still stubborn If you have bad intentions, this king will definitely let you die at sea." Li Yin said.


    Wang Shijie was stunned. At first he thought that he was bound to die, and the best thing would be to be a ve of those mining rocks, but he didn''t expect that Li Yin would spare him and let him be a guide like Junichiro Koizumi.


    "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, thank you for not killing me!" Wang Shijie knelt on the ground with a "plop", tears streaming down his face, great grief followed by great joy, which made him neurotic.


    Li Yin said: "Get up, don''t be too happy too early, whether you can live or not depends on your future performance." After finishing speaking, he left with everyone.


    A group of people entered the naval war room, and Li Yin said: "Now let''s study how to ask for a ransom from the Suwo family."


    The people in theboratory are all naval generals. Jin Daqian, Liu Yanyu and Li Min asked them to go back to rest. After all, this is military affairs, so they are not allowed to participate. Li Ran took the smart man to install the radio. You can contact us anytime.


    "Your Highness, how much is the ransom?" Sun Dongxu asked first.


    "Of course, the more this is, the better, because negotiations will be unavoidable at that time, let''s ask for five million taels of silver first!" Li Min opened his mouth like a lion. Based on his understanding of the Wa country, mineral resources in this ind country are very scarce. , but the reserves of silver are very huge, and in the Ming Dynasty, the silver production of Wa Kingdom ounted for 40% of the world''s total output at that time. It can be seen that the silver mines of Wa Kingdom not only haverge reserves, but are also very easy to mine.


    "Silver!" Several people gasped. In the Tang Dynasty, silver was a more precious metal than gold. Gold could be used forrge-scale transactions, but silver was basically not in cirction.


    "That''s right, what we want is silver!" The reason why Li Min asked for silver was also to prepare for Yizhou''s currency reform. Soon, he will gradually eliminate the use of copper coins in the fiefdom, and instead use silver and gold as the main currency. Copper is something that will be used mostly in industry, as an industrial material.


    Xia Guangyi sighed endlessly, "It''s just Your Highness, five million taels of silver is too much!"


    "Didn''t Your Highness say that we still need to negotiate? Since it is a negotiation, we must give a high price." Zeng Zhida''s brain turned quickly, and he quickly understood what Li Yin meant.


    After deciding on the issue of the ransom, Sun Dongxu said: "Your Highness, what if they don''t pay the ransom?"


    "It would be easier if we didn''t pay the ransom. We lost so many shells and gunpowder, and burned so much coal, and we don''t care about wasting some more. This also gives us a reason to start a war and directly bombard their coastal cities and the pier." Li Yin said with a sneer.


    Nodding, several people agreed, Sun Dongxu said: "I''m going to find out the distribution of cities along the coast of Japan, as well as important ports. If they don''t pay the ransom, we will call them one by one and force them toe negotiating table."


    "Well, now you split up and make preparations, and march to the maind of Wa Kingdom in three days." Li Yin made a decision.


    "Yes, Your Highness!" said a group of admirals.


    After the meeting was over, Li Yin had just left when a guard from the pce ran over, saying that there was a radio message from Yizhou.


    There is also a wireless station installed on Li Yin''s yacht, and now he can contact Yizhou at any time no matter where he is. However, if there is no important matter, the radio station is generally not used. At this time, the wireless station came, and Li Yin thought for sure. What happened?


    Back on his yacht, Li Yin connected the radio, and it was Su Moer''s voice, "Is it Your Highness?"


    Li Yin replied: "It''s me! What''s wrong? Did something happen?"
