There is no saying that everyone is equal these days, and slaves are clearly stipulated by law like animal property. But Li Xiao does not like others to abuse slaves. He can accept slaves as property, but cannot accept abuse from others.

Just like Li Xiao can raise animals and eat meat, he will also be loving to animals and cannot accept any cruel ways to eat them.

Of course, this is not a standard, it is just one's own attitude.

He is now the highest-ranking person in this team, so he has the right to make rules according to his own preferences.

As the strategic envoy of Andongdao, he was nominally the commander-in-chief of the local armed forces of the Tang Dynasty court throughout Andongdao, and he also had the right to form local armed forces.

Although this place is still occupied by the enemy, it is nominally the jurisdiction of his Li Xiao Jingliu Envoy. From the moment he entered the Korean Peninsula, although Li Xiao has not officially become the governor of Wuzhenzhou, he has already become the governor of Anton.

Li Xiao listed the three hundred female slaves as his private property and forbidden others from damaging his property. He locked them in the camp next to him and sent someone to guard them.

Li Xiao did not treat the mercenaries who robbed them back.

"The old rule is that 30% of the income belongs to the mercenaries who went to war. After these slaves are transported back to Dengzhou for sale, after deducting transportation and other costs, 30% of the income will belong to you, and there will be no shortage of the money."

Zhao Chiman was originally worried that Li Xiao's behavior would make the desperate mercenaries dissatisfied, but now he was relieved. No matter what, Li Xiao, as the owner of this mercenary group, spent a lot of money, so he would not have any objection to the exclusive 70% of the mercenary group.

"Sanlang, I support this division. I have a proposal for these 30% of the mercenaries. I suggest that you take out 30% of the rewards for everyone's outstanding performance during the action, and take out 20% as a subsidy for the injured and the dead in the action. The remaining 50% will be divided equally by the mercenaries. What do you think?"

It is okay to take out some of them as rewards. Only with incentive systems can the mercenaries perform better. And if there is a pension allowance for casualties and injuries, and the aftermath system can the mercenaries be free of worries.

"My second brother is thoughtful and just do what you said."

After Li Xiao summoned the four regiments of men as the Strategic Guards, they became soldiers. Li Xiao could use military law to restrain them with legitimate military law.

The next morning, Lao Wang and the other two captains each drove a boat and sent the three regiments to three nearby coasts to land on the landing operation.

Li Xiao led a group of people to stay at Pi Island, while the rest began to build camps.

Zhao Chiman and his team had good results in their actions. They strictly followed the established strategies and would never go deep into the inland, nor would they force themselves to attack those big cities and villages. Every time they landed on a boat, they would raid the small villages and towns, and they would leave after robbing and would never stay.

Lao Wang and his team are responsible for transporting the guards to land every day, and then transporting the stolen people and property back to Pi Island.

The left-behind people on Pi Island are responsible for classifying and registering the people and property they have been robbed, and treating the injured team members.

However, in just over ten days, Pi Island has begun to take shape. It has a simple boat dock, a Muzhai camp built by the bay, and a dormitory, canteen, toilet, hospital, warehouse, and even an internal convenience store built with trees. It is simply a miniature town.

Li Xiao even built a simple small court, which was very comfortable to play ball and swim when there was nothing to do.

Because it went too smoothly, Li Xiao even recruited a group of people and formed six new regiments. So now Anton's Martial Arts Mansion on Pi Island has ten regiments with a scale of 2,000 troops. These ten teams took turns to attack and alternately returned to Pi Island to rest.

The Goguryeo people had sieves along the estuary of the Wujiang River, and there was no decent defense at all.

For Li Xiao and the others who had no intention of attacking the big town, the coast was simply a target everywhere, as if they were entering a no-man's land, they could fight wherever they wanted.

Even after nearly half a month of action, the Goguryeo people in this area have not yet figured out the situation. They found that something happened in many fishing villages and towns along the coast, but they didn't know that the Tang people came, and they thought that there was a group of vicious pirates from where they came.

There are pirates along the coast of Goguryeo. Among these pirates are Silla, Baekje, Japanese, and even Goguryeo's own people, and some people in the Central Plains.

These people come from all kinds of sources, including fugitives who committed crimes, defeated soldiers who were defeated when attacking Goguryeo, etc. Some people even trade and steal. On the surface, they may be serious businessmen, but they may transform into a group of vicious pirates at any time.

There is no sign that the series of attacks on the coast of the Wujiang River estuary were caused by the Tang army across the sea.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty's naval forces had not appeared in the mouth of the Wujiang River for at least ten years. Although tens of thousands of Tang army naval troops appeared on the southern Baekje coastline, and a larger number of Tang Dynasty infantry and cavalry appeared in Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty navy did not come to Pyongyang again.

Perhaps it was because the Han people in the Central Plains sent navy to attack Pyongyang several times, but they never succeeded, so they no longer came.

Reported to the Pyongyang capital Ping'an City, layer by layer. The Goguryeo court ordered the officials along the river estuary to strictly investigate these bold pirates, and at the same time, it ordered cities in various places to strengthen their vigilance.

But Goguryeo people from all over the world did not find this pirate who came and went without a trace like a ghost was actually just under their noses, only a hundred miles away from the mouth of the Wujiang River and only thirty miles away from the coast. However, because the Central Plains naval army attacked many times in the early years, many coastal islands had long been deserted.

Desert islands like Pi Island are everywhere, and there are many true and false pirates on the sea. As a result, the Goguryeo still knows nothing about Li Xiao and the others.

After half a month of busyness, ten regiments took turns to attack, and the results were quite abundant.

Today, there is nearly 10,000 people on Pi Island.

Among them, Li Xiao and his own people had more than 2,000 people, and the remaining more than 7,000 were plundered. At the beginning, they only robbed Goguryeo women, but later they just robbed them when they saw people. Except for the old ones who could not walk, as long as they were under fifty years old, they would catch them, regardless of men, women, old ones or young ones.

Even after breaking through the village, they raised pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, dried fish, and food in the warehouse were not wasted at all.

If you want to blame, the Goguryeo people were too slow to react, and every time they gave Li Xiao people enough time to empty the broken village.

"There are too many people on the island, and I think it is necessary to transport some people back by boat first."

Zhao Chiman advised Li Xiao that although he had robbed a lot of livestock and food, tens of thousands of people were still consumed very much every day. Moreover, there were more and more Goguryeo slaves, which were not easy to manage.

"I think our actions can come to an end for the time being. Although there is no intelligence to indicate that the Goguryeo people have discovered our location, I feel that they are not far from discovering us. Instead of waiting until that day, we should stop when we see it."

Li Xiao is not the kind of greedy person.

He understood the principle of stopping when he was good. This time he had already made a lot of money and grabbed more than 7,000 Goguryeo people. Although they were not the first batch of young women, it was quite difficult. This result was something that no one even expected.

Who would have thought that they could grab so many people, and they had almost no damage.

I remember that Emperor Taizong personally conquered Goguryeo, and 100,000 elite troops conquered Liao, and captured more than ten Goguryeo cities. In the end, he only obtained 100,000 households and 400,000 people and 500,000 people.

The group of Li Xiao and the others actually grabbed more than 7,000 people in half a month without any damage. What a huge result.

They had never even attacked a city defended by soldiers, and had never fought a tough battle, just landed along the coast by boat, then raided, and then moved.

During this period, they almost emptied the Baili coast near the Wujiangkou.

Seven hundred slaves were transported back in one boat, and so many people had to carry three ships in full.

However, such good things will be difficult to happen again in the future. Although the Goguryeo people have reacted a little slower during this period, they are already pulling a net, and this net is getting tighter and tighter.

After the Goguryeo people were prepared, it would be difficult for them to have such cheap things in the future.

Once they really have a head-on contact with the Goguryeo army, their mob will have no advantage. Even if the Goguryeo people find out the situation on Pi Island and send large troops to attack, Li Xiao will be difficult to defend against.

So before the enemy finds them, it is the best choice to escape.

"There are more than seven thousand slaves, and I'm really out of here."

On Pi Island, all the Tang people were grinning with big mouths and couldn't close their smiles.

With so many slaves, even if the price is different, they are still huge wealth.

An ordinary Goguryeo male slave who has no skills is worth 40,000 or 50,000 yuan as long as he is young. Even a male slave who is no longer young in his forties or fifties can be worth at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Young women are also quite valuable, and young slaves are okay.

If calculated based on the average price of fifteen jin per person, then such a large group of slaves is worth 105,000 jin.

This does not include other gains from beating rabbits during this period. It has captured hundreds of villages of all sizes and sizes, and has robbed many cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. In addition, there are some gold, silver, copper, and cloth.

Even if it is ignored, it will be a huge gain of at least 100,000 yuan.

He took out 30% to share the share of the slave-catching team members. Li Xiao and others still had to be able to 70,000 jin. According to the proportion of the individuals, Li Xiao accounted for 50%.

He expected to be able to get 35,000 guan alone. Even if some other expenses were eliminated, Li Xiao could still earn 30,000 guan in the past half month.

What else in this world is more profitable to buy **?

Digging gold mines is not so profitable, and the emperor rewards a furnace for minting.

There were 100 coins in the Tang Dynasty, but they could only cast more than 300,000 coins a year, and a furnace was only 3,000 coins a year. The cost of casting was very high. Copper materials and wages were expensive these days, but copper coins were used inadequately. In addition, transportation was inconvenient. Sometimes, a furnace of coins was cast and it would be a loss.

"I really want to make a few more votes!"

After Cui Shiba and others calculated the amount they could get in their hearts, they all sighed reluctantly.
