The fleet came back smoothly, although there were many difficulties on the way, and many ships sank, but relatively speaking, this voyage was still a great thing.

This trade was also extremely successful, and after the statistics, the value of the goods brought out was more than 5 million taels of silver.

And the things brought back, roughly calculated, there are about 21 million taels of silver, in addition to these, there are many things that cannot be counted, and the total number of zeros is very much.

More than 20 million taels of silver, these are basically the value of gold and the like.

After hearing that the fleet had brought back so many things, the eyes of the people in the household department were red when they heard it.

With such a sum of money, the previous treasury bonds sold could be repaid clearly!

And there's a lot left.

Unfortunately, not all of this money had to be paid into the treasury, and half of it had to be distributed among the families.

But even so, more than 10 million taels of silver were recorded in the account at once, which still made Li Daifu full of red face these days.

People from various families are also happy at this time.

Although the money they got this time was not able to be pasted in before, the harvest this time made them understand that as long as this navigation line continues, they can definitely make a lot of money.

Think about it, this time I went to sea and earned more than 20 million taels of silver, not including some incalculable wealth!

In addition, according to the returning people, there is still the rest of the New World.

They only went to a little bit of place, and if the route was expanding a little, they could make a lot of money by going back and forth.

The families are all hot at this time, and this time the interests have firmly tied them together.

But then they also moved their minds.

Sailing with the imperial court, the only benefit they get is a little.

Wouldn't it be better if you had your own ship? Isn't it more money to make?

It's just that in the past, they didn't have these ideas, so they didn't have anything to do with them.

It's a bit difficult to suddenly make some ships that can sail long distances.

In particular, the storm at sea is too strong, and if the ship does not work, all the goods brought out by then will sink into the sea, and it will be a waste of money.

However, it is also thanks to them that they are on the ship of the imperial court, and at the moment they have no way to make a ship that can sail far away, and they can still rely on the imperial court to make some money.

Moreover, even if you build a ship that can sail far away by yourself, you can still make money here, so why not?

As for the idea of getting rid of the imperial court after they build a ship by themselves, they naturally won't think about it.

Right now, you can take advantage of the time you make your own boats to study the charts.

The ocean is so vast that even if someone goes there once, they still don't know much about how to sail.

In the palace, Lu Chensheng at this time was looking at the strange things brought back from this voyage, and all kinds of things were full of dazzling.

"I didn't bring back any species from this voyage, did I?"

Lu Chensheng asked while watching.

According to Lu Chensheng's requirements, there are some species that cannot be brought back.

This is a matter of strict requirements for the fear of species invasion, but there are some things that Lu Chensheng asked them to pay extra attention to and find a way to bring them back.

"I didn't bring back those strange things, but on that continent, it seems that I have seen a creature that looks like a unicorn."

Kirin?

Yueyue and Nianyi were both looking at these things carefully, and when they heard this at this moment, they immediately pricked up their ears.

"Kirin? Didn't you read it wrong? ”

Lu Chensheng is a little strange, could it be that there are still unicorns in this world?

"Yes, look at the species and the unicorn depicted in it."

When Haiqing heard this, he immediately nodded in response.

Lu Chensheng thought about it carefully and asked him to draw it.

Haiqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper to draw.

When Lu Chensheng saw it, he immediately cried and laughed, isn't this a giraffe? He was directly called a unicorn.

However, for some people now, such an image is indeed a bit appropriate.

The Ming Dynasty in the previous life also had such a misunderstanding.

"It's just a giraffe, not a unicorn."

Lu Chensheng shook his head and put the painting aside.

When Haiqing heard this, his face immediately turned red, he thought it was really a unicorn, so he talked to the saint.

I didn't bring it back before the loss, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"In terms of species, what did you bring back?"

Lu Chensheng continued to interrogate.

"At the request of the saint, the cows brought back a lot, all of which were purchased and could produce milk, and we also asked the other party for cheese-making skills."

There are some folk techniques for making goat's milk cheese, and I heard that it is recorded in the historical records.

Hundreds of years ago, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and every household could eat cheese.

However, I don't know whether this kind of record is true or not, and most of what I see in the history books are records of the people not being able to eat.

The main reason for the craftsmanship of this cheese is lactose intolerance, which is a symptom of many people.

With this production process, you can avoid the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

"How many cows?"

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

If milk and eggs are given to children from an early age, they can greatly improve their physique, and they are also easy to grow taller.

At present, the children of the people are too lacking in nutrition, and Lu Chensheng hopes to introduce some dairy cows to make some improvements.

Now that he is ready to improve the lives of the people, Lu Chensheng has not forgotten this matter.

"There were originally 38,600 heads brought back, but 361 died on the way, and now there are 38,239 left."

Haiqing still remembered this matter very clearly, and immediately replied.

More than 30,000? It's not much, but it's a good start.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, there was still a hint of joy on his face.

"Holy Lord, these cows also have a part in those families."

Seeing the joy on Lu Chensheng's face, Haiqing hesitated and said again.

The cows were so hard to carry, it took a lot of effort to bring them back along the way, and the boats were prepared with a lot of pasture.

Rao is so, because of these cows, the crew is still tossed a lot.

"Giving them a little more from something else, as compensation, the cows took it all."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, his face unquestionable.
