You're Not The Overlord, You're Liu Bang
"Big brother, the statistics are out…This time, we obtained 2,300,000 strings of copper coins, 1,320 catties of gold, and five boxes of jewelry. The value is currently unknown."
On the way back, Zhang Xun's fleet had already expanded to 48 large ships.
Apart from his original thirteen galley warships.
The rest were thirty-five sturdy ships with sharp bottoms.
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty in this era could sail all the way to the Arabian region to trade along the coastline.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding level was ahead of the world.
As a result, Zhang Xun did not reject any ships made by the Tang.
Although these ships were slow, they had a good load capacity and could be used to transport materials on Flowing Ball and Surging Island.
The looting of Yangzhou this time was an unexpected surprise. However, the tens of thousands of Manichaeism believers that he brought with him from Yangzhou City were all young and strong, so they immediately solved the population problem of Zhang Xun's subordinates.
....
When he returned to Surging East Island with more than ten thousand people.
The number of people under Zhang Xun instantly doubled.
He had 2,500 oarsmen, 1,600 warriors, and 2,300 craftsmen under his command. Including the Manichaeans, there were more than 20,000 people under his command, and the total population was close to 30,000.
After returning to Surging East Island, Zhang Xun immediately began to prepare his plan to head to Flowing Ball.
These 20,000 people needed to be organized first.
Zhang Xun was in his office, thinking about his next plan.
At the same time, he also received the package from the system for the past few days.
These few days, they had gone down the river from Yuezhou, occupied the east, kidnapped the people, and robbed the army's rations. They also looted Yangzhou City.
The Black Tiger Navy had never been so wealthy before.
However, Su Yan was not too optimistic.
All in all, the overall strength of the Tang Dynasty's imperial court had formed a crushing situation against him.
Therefore, Zhang Xun had to effectively organize these tens of thousands of people and develop them.
"System, accept the gift bags for the next few days.”
Zhang Xun ordered in his mind.
It had been eleven days since they arrived in Yuezhou.
For the past eleven days, the system had given him all the Basic Gift Packs. Moreover, Zhang Xun was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, so he did not have much interest in opening this Basic Gift Bag.
"Ding! [Beginner's Gift Bag has been unlocked. You have received a pair of slippers.]”
"Ding! [Beginner's Gift Bag has been opened. You have received a fruit knife.]”
....
A series of sounds rang out.
Zhang Xun's face revealed an expression as expected.
The system's elementary gift bags were mostly useless daily necessities.
"Ding! [Beginner Gift Pack unlocked. You have received a pack of Good Grade Sticky Rice Seeds.]”
Zhang Xun became interested.
If he wanted to expand Ryukyu Island, grain seeds were crucial.
He had tens of thousands of people. He couldn't possibly eat sweet potatoes, right?
China had to wait until the Song Dynasty to obtain the rice from Champa City before the rice would slowly occupy the dining table of the people of China.
Now that he had obtained a packet of improved rice seeds, would this type of rice be called Zhang Xun Rice in the future?
Zhang Xun smiled.
"Ding! [Beginner's Gift Bag has been unlocked. You have received 10 kilograms of dried chili!]”
The smile on Zhang Xun's face widened.
Chili!
The hotpot started.
"Ding! [Beginner Gift Pack unlocked. You have received a hot air balloon.]”
Caw...
The smile on Zhang Xun's face froze.
Was this even considered a Basic Gift Bag?
"Ding! Ordinary industrial products and agricultural products could be obtained from the Basic Gift Pack.”
The system's voice echoed in Zhang Xun's mind.
...
Surging East Island, in a large courtyard.
Empress Zhangsun and the other two stayed in this courtyard.
These days, they were basically under house arrest here.
After Empress Zhangsun was brought to Surging East Island, she knew that the so-called ransom was a conspiracy!
Zhang Xun must have other plans.
However, she had not seen Zhang Xun for the past few days. Instead, the population on Surging East Island was increasing.
Zhang Xun seemed to be raiding people.
"Mother, is he really going to the Flowing Ball to establish a country?”
Li Lizhi asked.
In fact, Princess Chang Le was still a little worried when she was first captured.
However, Zhang Xun's subordinates were very disciplined, and Zhang Xun was not a reckless man.
Although they were all prisoners in terms of status.
However, their treatment was not bad. Zhang Xun did not make things difficult for them.
As for Li Lizhi, she was even secretly happy. It was best to delay it until the day of her wedding with Zhangsun Chong was over.
Li Lizhi didn't like Zhangsun Chong, that playboy.
The days here were more leisurely.
"I'll go look for that Zhang Xun."
Empress Zhangsun took a deep breath, and a worried expression appeared on her face. Perhaps Zhang Xun's true goal was to establish a country overseas?
Could he be the descendant of the curly-bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian?
Zhangsun Wugou shook his head and thought of the man from more than twenty years ago.
When Zhangsun Wugou saw Zhang Xun again, she had no choice but to admit it.
Now that Zhang Xun had tens of thousands of subordinates, he was no longer the leader of the pirates.
He had already become a bandit!
A bandit that could threaten the rule of the Great Tang.
"Governor Zhang, you are not the Overlord, but Liu Bang.”
Zhangsun Wugou said with a complicated expression.
"I'm not the Overlord, nor am I Liu Bang." I'm only Zhang Xun!"
Zhangsun Wugou was shocked.
It was a very ordinary sentence, but it revealed a kind of domineering aura that could capture one's soul.
Shimin, you have enemies.
