The captured gang members were searched, and all their belongings were taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t much of an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was surprising, however, was the dispute and argument between Zhuang Ren and the captain over managing and transporting a large amount of spoils found on the seven gang ships and within their stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming watched from not far away and could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several large chests of money, plus a pile of unprocessed goods and food, and weaponry equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total value of these spoils was at least ten thousand silver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rough estimate didn’t even account for the pile of goods and the several chests of coins yet to be inventoried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual value would likely exceed Song Changming’s estimation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, these spoils should be handed over to the Governor’s Mansion, including those ships, which would also be confiscated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this process, there was still a lot of profit to be gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this, neither Zhuang Ren nor the captain was in a hurry to inventory the spoils and make a list, instead arguing over who would manage them and transport them back to the County City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Significant interests were involved, so neither of the big shots was willing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming, having worked as an official for many years, was not surprised by such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majority of people in this world pursued fame and fortune, and no matter how high their position or martial tao skill, they wouldn’t escape from this custom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The General Director and the new captain from the Imperial Capital were no exception, just like Xie Shihuan and Fan Yun before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly noble and indifferent individuals were rare, and Song Changming hardly ever saw even one a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he is no exception, also pursuing fame and fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just imagine if this pile of spoils were his, then he wouldn’t say he would eat his fill of hundred-year-old wild ginseng, but he could continue with one root each month without any pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, his Martial Tao strength would certainly advance by leaps and bounds, changing each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, this is just a fantasy, as this pile of goods and money is guarded layer by layer by many people at the Dinghai Water Gang. Now that they’ve become spoils, even more people are eyeing a share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, he can get some benefits from it, make a small profit for his hard work in completing missions and killing enemies, without expecting more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after some symbolic disputes, Zhuang Ren and the Captain both unsurprisingly took a step back and jointly manage the gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone can enjoy the profits together; there’s no need to compete anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching an agreement, Zhuang Ren allowed his personal guards to start taking inventory of the spoils, while the Captain also sent people to supervise, preventing any oversight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was quite harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, the entire port area was reclaimed by the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patrol Guards and troops dispersed to guard the docks, ready to receive news first if the Dinghai Water Gang dared to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming found himself momentarily idle, with nothing to do, so he wandered into the fish market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large-scale clash between the Dinghai Water Gang and the government early in the morning did not affect the local fish market’s subsequent trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many local fishermen were used to facing big challenges and, after learning the Dinghai Water Gang was chased away by the government, followed the government’s rules accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Dinghai Water Gang were to return and dominate the port waterways, the fishermen would follow the rules of the Jianghu factions again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t really being opportunistic; it’s just their way of survival, not offending either side, and listening to whomever is in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of the port’s fish market is actually not small. It is called a fish market, but it also sells a variety of other strange marine products, with many categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fish and seafood are just a part of it; there are also many treasures from the sea, and even stone minerals, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that the treasures in the sea are not fewer than those on land, and perhaps even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, human exploration of the sea is far less than that of the land, so the ocean remains mysterious and incredibly dangerous, difficult to further develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, rare sights or treasures fished from the sea can leave people in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the local fishermen, many merchants from Donglai Prefecture also come here to purchase various seafood goods, transporting them back to county cities to sell in their stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in the morning, this fish market is already quite bustling, with a significant flow of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming, wearing the official uniform of the Chief Patrol Guard, drew much attention along the way, with faces showing respect and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people averted their gaze hurriedly when they met Song Changming’s eyes, fearing to offend this Patrol Guard and mistakenly be taken as a suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the deterrence of the official uniform to ordinary people, also known as power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming didn’t mind others’ gazes, as his eyes fell on the stalls on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sellers pulled their wooden carts themselves, with goods placed on the cart for sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others directly spread out their goods on the ground, sitting cross-legged, waiting for buyers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming’s gaze skipped over the ordinary fish and seafood. It was a rare visit for him, and as the largest docking port in Donglai Prefecture, he naturally wanted to see something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A horn fish, wow, it’s actually a Silver Horn Fish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tzk, brother, what luck you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming suddenly heard some rather lively chatter, and his eyes followed the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see in front of a stall, a crowd of onlookers gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Changming approached, the stall owner was holding up a large fish with black scales with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish was about a meter long, wide, and thick, weighing over thirty pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was most unique was the silver sharp horn resembling a drill on its head, and its eyes were also silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, this was a fish species with exotic blood, different from ordinary fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner, holding this fish, his coarse black face full of wrinkles, was beaming, like a blooming chrysanthemum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt, the stall owner was very pleased today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only needed to sell this fish in his hands, and today’s sales would reach the target, even making a small fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, how heavy is this Silver Horn Fish?\" someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-nine jin and four liang,\" the stall owner replied. Although this weight is not large among horn fish, it can still sell for a good price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two hundred copper coins per jin, I’ll take it,\" a merchant directly offered, which was slightly higher than the market rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner was instantly tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a price of two hundred cents per jin, this Silver Horn Fish could sell for close to six thousand copper coins, which is definitely a big profit for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To know that the normal price for beef or mutton on the market is only fifty or sixty copper coins per jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, the fish meat of the Silver Horn Fish fetches such a high price mainly because it contains exotic blood. Not only is it delicious and a superior food on the wine tables, but it also has very high nutritional content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Martial Artists, this is considered a tasty and nutritious meal, greatly beneficial for body refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1892,"2026-06-06T07:08:24.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1779f6ec11a33bb45b02ad8145429b22169250134d468d31d4378b013d3aa2d","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-104","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-102",478,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-cover.jpg"]
