Just like a storm that emerged on the sea, Li Chao swept the islands with ten ships in a few days. Facing the strong ships and cannons, only one small island pirates tried to jump over the wall, but were immediately wiped out ruthlessly.

There were more than ten ships in Li Chao's fleet at this time.

Several nobles from Dengzhou Port knew that Li Chao had set off and followed him immediately. These were all faster and had already recruited people to mention the ship. As for more nobles, they could only look at their own ships in anger, and they were still on the production plan of ship parts factories in various ship parts.

As for crew sailors, it is even harder to recruit.

There are also some noble children who have not mentioned the ship but have recruited some people. They can't wait for the new ship, so they simply followed them on the old ship they bought.

The team is getting bigger and bigger, but the sweeping is getting easier.

But Yao Jin was arrogant and did not let these latecomers get a piece of the pie. They could only watch, watch from afar, watch the ships of Li Cheng, Cui, Zheng and Lu families sweep all the way, and then harvest countless populations, slaves, money and goods.

The population is large, and after sweeping, more than 30,000 people were gained.

The officials from Dengzhou who arrived were extremely surprised. Cheng Yaojin used his shameless rogue spirit to tangle with Dengzhou officials for a long time. Finally, an agreement was reached. The pirates and smugglers were regarded as official slaves, and then Cheng Yaojin and other five families paid for it. As for the families of the pirates and smugglers, the court was magnanimous.

Of course, in order to ensure local peace, the five families of Cheng and Li were willing to share the worries of the court and recruited them to their own territory at their own expense. They even gave the government a sum of money.

Only a few notorious pirates and smuggling leaders were regarded as typical examples and left to the government, and these people were to be hanged after being tried.

The goods obtained from the sweep were naturally divided by Lao Cheng's public relations. The five families and the government were divided. It was said that they were divided, but Lao Cheng took out a small part of the spoils, and then everyone divided them again. Therefore, the government actually only divided a small part.

However, the people from Dengzhou Yamen seemed to be very satisfied with this.

So everyone was very happy.

With a population of more than 30,000, Li Cheng and other five families divided the number, and the family divided the number of more than 6,000. Li Chao treated the more than 6,000 pirates who were assigned as slaves. These people did not send them to Liuqiu Island, but were sent to the mainland mines to mine. The rest were sent to Liuqiu Island according to the old rules.

But this time, Li Chao did not give them good conditions like red venomous snakes as soon as he came.

"You are still in the observation period. When you get there, the Li family will establish a collective village. You are tenants in the village. You will reclaim wasteland and farmland for the village. The Li family will rent you houses, oxen, seeds, farm tools, etc., and even lend you the cost of settling down. If you perform well in the village, you will be given ten acres of land in three years. Every other year, you will be given ten acres of land until each adult man and woman has 50 acres of land."

Although these people were not regarded as slaves, they were also families of pirates and smugglers, or they were pirates and smugglers themselves, so their original property was confiscated.

They have nothing but two clothes now.

Li Chao sent them to Liuqiu, but they still had to prove themselves by their own performance. They first worked as a tenant in the collective farm for three years before dividing the land.

It’s not all divided into one piece, it’s divided into ten acres a year. The highest is only fifty acres, and there is no good luck like the Red Vipers and the others who can directly divide into one hundred acres.

In comparison, Li Chao is quite kind.

Lao Cheng was very rude to arrange all the people he had assigned as tenants. From now on, they would work for the Cheng family to rent the land. Want to divide the land? You can make money and save money by relying on your own abilities. When will you get rich and when will you buy it based on your own abilities?

The Cui, Zheng and Lu families are the most ruthless families, and these families are not so kind. They are not so kind. When they get the hands on it, they will turn more than half of the people into slaves, because these strong people are the most unstable and they need to ensure control.

The rest became tenants.

"You are too polite to them." Lao Cheng said. This old gangster was also a landlord. As a landlord, Lao Cai, he knew very clearly how to better control people.

Li Chao just smiled.

"Qianjin City Bone."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I forgot that what you lack the most now is land. The Li family has so many territory, and what your family lacks is people."

"Yes, if someone is willing to immigrate, I will give you 100 acres of land alone, and even pay for the settlement."

The originally lively archipelago is now empty.

However, close to Dengzhou Port, these islands can be said to be very valuable, especially the small and small temple island archipelago close to Dengzhou. The combined area of ​​these 32 islands is about 100,000 acres.

Farming on the island is not very suitable, but fishing here is good, especially close to Dengzhou Island and closely guarding the important route to Goguryeo. It can be said that this archipelago is really valuable.

Now this island was captured by several Li families.

"In the past, this island actually did not belong to Dengzhou Island. It was considered a land of unbordered outside the country, so it was occupied by pirates and smugglers." Cui Jin came over and said to Li Chao. What he meant was that five families would just divide the thirty-two islands.

They even thought of a plan to divide the division, and the Li family belonged to the Li family, while the other islands belonged to their four families.

"You just divided the archipelago in this way. Haven't you ever thought about the court? Have you ever asked them if they?"

"Brother-in-law, is this a big deal? With your status and the reputation of our four families, it is easy to give us the island."

Lu Gao also said on the side, "It's a good deal to spend some money."

A land of archipelago, a few young children from aristocratic families wanted to embezzle them.

Li Chao couldn't help but sigh at the courage of these guys.

However, for Li Chao, even if he gave him the largest islands, it would not be a big deal.

Cheng Yaojin said, "I'll do this. I'll ask an old friend to tell you. This time we have wiped out tens of thousands of thieves and bandits, which is a great achievement. If we are willing to pay for these small islands, I believe Your Majesty will be willing."

One hundred thousand mu, it seems to be very big. But a viscount in founding state also has a ten-mile fiefdom. The ten-mile fiefdom refers to a square conversion of ten miles on one side, which looks almost nearly 40,000 mu.

The large and small Changshan Islands combined are just fiefs for founding the nation. The Li family is the one who lacks the least, but now it is fiefs.

A treasure island is only tens of thousands of square kilometers, and a Dalian is also more than ten thousand square kilometers.

Li Chao didn't take it seriously, but his brother-in-law took it seriously. Several of the families paid for the lords, which was so precious. The Cui family bought a marquis and two lords, and spent three million yuan in total. The total was only seventy miles of fiefdom.

This archipelago is equivalent to a fiefdom of nearly thirty miles. In terms of the price of the imperial court, it is worth more than one million guan. If it can be operated, the five families will be divided equally, even if they are divided into five or eight miles, it will be worth hundreds of thousands of guan.

Especially since this island is located well, it is more valuable than the dozens of miles of fiefs on the border.

Even the old gangster Cheng Yaojin thought that the islands were in a good location and valuable position.

On that day, several old and young gangsters wrote letters to Hanjing.

Li Chao was too lazy to pay attention to it. The fleet was temporarily resting in Wuhu. The subsequent resettlement of these people, the disposal of property on the island, and more and more ships of all sizes came to follow him and rob the north.

They were willing to come with him, so Li Chao certainly didn't care. After all, these were all nobles and wealthy families, and they all had private licences issued by the emperor.

However, since you have to follow Li Chao, you have to abide by his rules. Without rules, you will be in a mess.

Even if it is a robbery, there must be rules.

"I don't have many rules, but they are very strict. Even if we are not an army, we can go north and enter the enemy's territory, and we will fight. Therefore, I will manage it according to military laws. If anyone can't stand it, he can withdraw now. However, as long as you stay, you have to accept my order. If anyone dares to disobey, don't blame me for turning against others."

Li Chao's eyes swept across the faces of the nobles. These people were basically young noble children, and they also had another characteristic, most of them were concubines in the family. They were not qualified to inherit titles or family business.

But they also shed blood from the noble families, so they are naturally the most trusted people in the family.

Cheng Yaojin sat next to Li Chao, and the old hooligan was particularly conspicuous among the young nobles. They all sent their concubines to come, but the head of the family, one of the eight nobles in Zhenguan, came in person.

"I would like to say a few words. It is your luck to be able to follow Duke Zhao and I to the north to rob. You also know that Duke Zhao has commanded thousands of troops and fought countless battles, but has never been defeated. I, Lao Cheng, have fought all kinds of fierce battles and killed countless people. I don't want you guys to ruin our reputation for life by then."

"At that time, if anyone dares to do anything, don't blame me, Lao Cheng's big axe for being ruthless. If you cut you off, your parents will have nothing to say."

The old hooligan's words shocked the young people, after all, Lao Cheng is a great general.

"My rule is to act in accordance with military law." Li Chao announced.

"Military law is like a mountain. Although we are going to rob, we must also be disciplined. First of all, we should emphasize that women are prohibited from being banned. If anyone dares to violate this, they will be executed on the spot and will be killed without mercy. No matter whether you are a wealthy family in Guanlong, a gentry from Shandong, a Chinese in Jiangnan, or a noble in military affairs, a royal relative, and the offender will die."

A murderous sentence made the atmosphere solemn.

"Article 2: All spoils must be handed over to the public and finally distributed uniformly. Whoever dares to hide spoils privately will be killed without mercy!"

"Article 3: It is prohibited to kill innocent people indiscriminately. As long as there is no resistance, no killing is allowed. Those people should be our property. Whoever kills people is damaging everyone's shared property."

"This is the three rules. If you think you can't comply with it, leave the team now."

"Is anyone leaving?"

Li Chao's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

The conditions are a bit harsh, and everyone thought that going to the coast of Goguryeo was just a random robbery. If the person who said this was an ordinary person, they were afraid that they would rebel.

But the person who said this was Li Chao, a group of children from a large family, and no one dared to emerge after all.

“No one left?”

No one left.

"Very good, then it's considered that you agree to these three rules."
