Before learning that another major event happened in Chang'an, Li Tianqu inspected the coastal boundaries of Mizhou again, and the Maritime Port was already a bustling scene with sail walls.

Overseas ships were driving in a constant stream like a port. Not only were ships gathering on the sea, but there were also carriages gathering on land. The busy officials of the Maritime Department investigated, counted, and recorded the goods. There were also many boatmen and laborers bare-handed, shouting loudly, carrying boxes and sacks of goods from the sea boats.

The shops in Banqiao Town, Mizhou are crowded with people and bustling. Some overseas merchants have to allow the store to stock up on the local area, which is popular in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there are also large merchants from various towns under Li Tianqu and even the surrounding areas who come to report to the Maritime Bureau and open shops, attracting overseas tourists from all over the streets to visit and buy.

Li Xun and Li Xuan brothers also followed Li Tianqu and were roughly divided into the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse. They saw that although the number of exchanges between the Western Regions Hu merchants here was much less than that of the Guangzhou port, Mizhou was also an important place to attract Tang envoys from other seas. After Li Tianqu established the Maritime Warehouse, he encouraged to attract overseas merchants... Nowadays, the prosperous scene here seems to be no less than that of the Guangzhou port at the time.

From time to time between the boundaries of the market, there are often Tang Dynasty Mandarin, ancient Japanese, ancient Korean, and even Bohai language used by the Bohai Kingdom of the northern Sumo Mohe. However, at least the merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty did business, had to help with the Chinese language, and at least they could not speak Chinese well and even the words could be stroking, and they would probably communicate smoothly with each other... When watching, Li Xun suddenly lit up his eyes. He immediately looked at the port and checked the merchants who had already issued a public account. He was now traveling by the port to unload goods. He was actually looking for a Persian merchant and immediately came forward to inquire. Li Xun opened his mouth and spoke a skillful Persian language. He looked like he was a fellow villager who met a fellow villager, and soon became familiar with the conversation.

As for Li Tianqu, he later went to the Maritime Trade Office. He heard that Zhang Ji reported that Kuroshima, the sea merchant in Tsuya, Kyuro of Japan, had promised to transport a large number of silver mines acquired from the local area after the next shipping. I believe that other sea merchants in Japan soon realized that there was still a lot of profit in going to Tang Tuhai Trade, and a situation of rushing to compete and taking the lead in competition will certainly be happy to see it.

As for Silla, Li Tianqu also promised to serve two overseas students who sent Tang envoys to help Zhang Ji to assist in dealing with Silla. Jin Jingde and others also threaded needles and threads between the country, and the sea trade business is becoming more and more prosperous.

Moreover, through the Tang Dynasty merchants' exchanges and Silla, the sea route was also reported to the Maritime Bureau, which also allowed Li Tianqu to confirm something: Danluo Island, located in the southwest of Silla, still has a remaining sea trade port.

Danluo Island, also known as Danluo in this season, is the Jeju Island in South Korea in later generations. After previous investigation, Li Tianqu learned that there was no connection with the Tang soil before. In the late Han Dynasty, he called it "Zhou Hu". In the "New Book of Tang", there is "At the beginning of Longshuo, there was a Danluo. His king and scholar Li Duluo sent envoys to the court. The country lived on the southern island of Wuzhou in Xinluo. He was simple and humble, with big clothes and pig skins, and lived in a robbed house in the summer, and winter cave rooms. The land was born in five grains, and he didn't know how to use cattle to plow, and he used iron teeth to quat soil. He was first attached to Baekje. Lindezhong, and the chief came to court...".

However, although there is a Danluo State on Danluo Island, it has formed a regime. It has to wait until the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty that it was annexed by Goryeo after Silla, abolished its country and established Danluo County, and then renamed Jeju. However, now the efforts to control the entire island are limited.

After all, Zhang Baogao built the Fahua Court here, which echoed the Chishan Fahua Court built in the northern region of Shidao Town, Weihai City, Shandong Peninsula. It also used that place as an important base for the huge fleet between Tang land, Japan and Silla. However, he had long been killed by the Silla nobles, and the port sea town built on Danluo Island was abandoned...

Since there were previous examples, Li Tianqu naturally planned to replace it. Taking over the place is not considered to be under the territory of Silla. Moreover, the main maritime transportation routes facing Japan, Tang and Silla across the sea are located in the east, west and north directions.

"Of course I can do what Zhang Baogao could do back then. As for the Danluo Kingdom, I will also arrange personnel to deal with him... and the Fahua Courtyard and even the Haizhen Port on Danluo Island, instead of abandoning it, it is better to put it in my hands to teach it to prosper again..."

Li Tianqu also instructed Zhang Ji to inspect the development progress of the port after the opening of the Maritime Warehouse Department in Mizhou. These things can certainly be clearly done. However, when reviewing the secret spy department that was claimed to be the Patrol Guard Department, it was actually the secret spy department office appointed by Li Tianqu to be in charge of Zhang Xiao... and attention should be paid to prevent the leak of information.

Still in the Mizhou post office, Zhang Xiao reported to Li Tianqu, and he, Zhao An, Wang Qiyu, and Lai Buming, developed some personnel with the potential to be secret spies. After rigorous investigation, they selected the most refined and loyal subordinates who were relatively honest.

The activities of secret spies in detail are actually specialized in their professions, such as hiding, observing words and expressions, spying and eavesdropping, contacting information, seducing and stalking... and even assassination. Although they have their own strengths, they have to cultivate a large number of professional elite secret spies, and even expanding the huge spy agency with a more complete and strict organization and a more secret behavior, naturally it will take a long time to improve it.

However, according to Zhang Xiao's report, there are several people who are qualified to be secret spies and can also guarantee their loyalty. At the moment, it is believed that they can also be competent for someone who finds ways to install secret spies and arranges contact information.

Li Tianqu then ordered Zhang Xiao to send people to Xiao County, Xuzhou to investigate the movements of the wealthy family who had known his origin before, and began to arrange the personnel selected by the Patrol Guards Department to contact him.

However, during the planning and deployment period, there were urgent reports from clerks from the vassal towns: Seeing that Li Keyong had returned to Taiyuan, and Li Maozhen, the governor of Fengxiang and Longyou towns, heard that Emperor Zhaozong of Tang began to recruit troops in Chang'an again, and the clan selected tens of thousands of people as the four armies behind the palace, and was led by the clan kings... He actually rushed to Chang'an again on the grounds that the emperor had intended to be unfavorable to him...

The imperial guards of the court were as vulnerable as ever, and they had already scattered before they could fight. Li Ye, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, fled in a panic, but this time he took the initiative to flee to Hedong to seek protection from Li Keyong... Li Maozhen rushed into Chang'an smoothly, and the soldiers plundered, and many imperial palaces were burned in the chaos.

However, the fleeing emperor Li Ye, even the sons of the royal family, the ministers and ministers, were blocked by Han Jian, the governor of the Zhenguo Army who had retreated to Huazhou by Li Keyong. Han Jian also held Li Ye hostage on the grounds that "the car drove across the river and had no return time" and took him to his territory Huazhou.

At this point, Emperor Li Ye was eventually under the control of the vassal states and the governors of the vassal states. Han Jian also followed Zhonghanxuan, and Li Maozhen, who was invaded by the capital, was appointed as the Shangshu Ling and was appointed King Qi. Han Jian himself was also granted the title of Taiwei of the Procuratorate and the General Secretary of the Capital... However, the incident caused by the emperor's hijacking by warlords was the focus of Li Tianqu's great concern:

Zhu Wen received news that Li Ye was hostage by Han Jian faster. He immediately dispatched his army to move westward. After Li Keyong, he also took action...
