Chapter 440, bring back the wealth of 30 million taels of silver

In the port of Tianjin, the whole scene was silent, and everyone widened their eyes as they watched the gold piled up higher and higher on the dock.

The golden light is the most enchanting color in the world.

Boxes and boxes of gold were still being brought out, piled up in piles, one ship at a time, a whole ten.

"Hurry up and weigh it~ to see how many there are."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it anymore and said excitedly.

"Yes~"

Du Mingen hurriedly replied respectfully, and soon, a staff member of Tianjin Port came over with a scale and began to weigh the gold.

At the same time, after moving the gold, the crew has not stopped, although there is a lot of gold here in the Golden Continent, but in general, the quantity is actually limited, it is impossible to say that all ten ships are filled, and the most really loaded is silver.

In the early days of European colonization, the Spanish and Portuguese plundered the most gold and silver in Central America.

As for gold on the west coast of North America, it was only a few centuries later that it was slowly developed.

After moving the gold, boxes and boxes of silver began to be moved out, and according to Liu Jin's instructions, they were also placed in the open space of the wharf, all of which were in the shape of silver bars, and were cast in very large pieces, each of which was as big as a brick, and very heavy.

However, the crew was full of smiles when they carried it, and according to the agreed agreement, 20% of all the gains of this trip belonged to them.

Anyway, when they were in Central America, when they traded with the descendants of Yin Shang, the first thing they received was gold, followed by silver, and they directly filled all ten ships, almost because this time it was not the Ming Dynasty.

All the efforts are worth it, and the wealth brought back belongs to them as a crew, and there is no problem with a casual few thousand taels of silver.

For more than a year, I went to the Golden Continent to earn thousands of taels of silver, which was definitely an overnight rich.

A few thousand taels of silver is enough for them to live without worrying about food and clothing, and they can be a rich man.

"Oh my God, there's so much silver~"

With the boxes and boxes of silver being moved out, they were soon piled up on the dock, and the people who ate melons here in the port area couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking at the piles of gold, and then at the silver that was still piling up, everyone's eyes were red.

How much wealth did they bring back?

This is a question on the mind of almost everyone present.

"10,000 gold~"

The dock is very busy.

Heavy were divided into several groups, and at the same time, while weighing, someone was constantly counting, and when the number of 10,000 taels was reached, the person who weighed it shouted loudly.

"It's only 10,000 taels, it looks like there are at least 100,000 taels of gold in this pile."

Hearing the voice, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but run over to take a look, and said with a grin.

"Even if it is 100,000 taels, these ten ships will almost bring back a million taels of gold, and this gold alone is worth 10 million taels of silver."

Liu Jin looked at it carefully, estimated it slightly, and suddenly couldn't help but gasp.

The reserves of gold are very scarce, and the gold in Daming is very scarce, some gold mines in history have long been mined, and the princes and nobles in history like to use gold as burial goods, so gold is definitely very rare in Daming.

Many people can even say that they have never seen gold in their entire lives.

"It's average, it's just 10 million taels of silver~"

After Zhu Houzhao listened, he pouted and said, he is now rich and rich, and tens of millions of taels of silver are also average in his mouth.

"There's a lot of silver, I guess there's more silver~"

Liu Jin couldn't help but smile.

In fact, just as Liu Jin expected, boxes and boxes of silver kept being moved out of the cabin, as if they would never be finished.

On the dock, the silver that was brought out quickly piled up like a small mountain, shining silver, looking very lovely, and at the same time there was a small pile of golden mountains next to it, and the two lights complemented each other and became the focus of the whole port.

Everyone in the harbor watched, their eyes red.

"100,000 taels of gold~"

At this time, the person in charge of weighing the gold shouted again, and when everyone heard this, they immediately looked again, and saw that the gold was almost finished, and this ship had brought back more than 100,000 taels of gold, and this gold alone could be worth a million taels of silver.

Ten ships, each loaded about the same, calculated that the gold alone was worth ten million taels of silver.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold!"

The melon-eating crowd in the port couldn't help but marvel.

This ship brought back more than 100,000 taels of gold, worth a million taels of silver, and all the minds of all were silver, countless silver, shining gold, shining silver.

In the era when copper coins were used as currency, gold worth tens of millions of taels of silver appeared at this time, and it is conceivable that everyone in the port was shocked at this time.

This is like the future generations, all of a sudden piling up tens of billions of banknotes in front of you, everyone will be shocked, and they will all wish to be able to have such a huge wealth.

There was so much gold and silver that the people who weighed and weighed it were sweating profusely, and when they finished weighing the gold, they began to weigh the silver again.

"100,000 taels of silver~"

"500,000 taels of silver~"

"One million taels of silver~"

By the time the number was called, all the silver in the ship had been removed, but only half of it had been weighed.

The final figure was that a ship brought back more than two million taels of silver and more than one hundred thousand taels of gold, and that was almost three million taels worth of gold and silver from one ship.

Ten Daifuku ships brought back a total of almost 30 million taels of silver!

"It's worth about 30 million taels of silver!"

In the end, such a number was obtained, and Liu Jin also made people shout loudly.

Well, brocade night walking is definitely not our style of doing things, this going to sea to make a fortune, it is natural to publicize it loudly, to let the whole world know, so that more people can be stimulated to pursue wealth overseas.

Whether it is fishing at sea or going to sea to do business, Liu Jin has always used this method to tell you simply and rudely, how much interest there is in it, and it is your business whether to do it or not.

There is no doubt that the effect is naturally leveraged, and now the fishing industry, the maritime trade industry, and all kinds of factories can flourish, in fact, they are all profit trends.

Everyone can clearly see the amazing benefits contained in this, and in the same way, as long as those who enter, they can taste the sweetness of this primitive accumulation of capital, and then be full of motivation.

"Thirty million taels of silver!"

Inside the port, everyone who heard this number was dumbfounded, and one by one opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

What is the concept of 30 million taels of silver, in terms of the current tax and silver income of the imperial court, this is almost equivalent to the financial income of the imperial court for six years, what a huge amount of wealth.

At this moment, everything is placed in front of everyone's eyes, in the injection of a pair of eyes, a little, a little overweight, without a trace of falsehood.

The wealth of 30 million taels of silver is just more than a year, ten ships, and more than 1,000 people, and they actually brought back the wealth of 30 million taels of silver.

It's incredible, it's unbelievable, but it's really happening right in front of our eyes, and it's silver in everyone's mind.

"Golden Continent~Golden Continent, gold everywhere~"

At this moment, what Liu Jin said came to everyone's minds.

In the past, everyone always thought that Liu Jin might be bragging, and it was estimated that he was exaggerating, but at this moment, everyone believed it, looking at the gold and silver mountains in the port in front of them, no one would say that Liu Jin was talking nonsense.

"I'm going to Golden Continent~I'm going to Golden Continent~"

At the same time, in the hearts of these people, there is a voice that keeps shouting.

Ten ships, more than a thousand people, just over a year, the wealth brought by this is so huge that people are blushing, and people can't wait to organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent immediately and bring back endless wealth.

People who have such thoughts are not only the lowest people, there are many people in the port area who see the excitement here, there are officials of the imperial court, big businessmen, big landlords, and gentry, these people also have this idea at this time, and they are eager to own a few ships now, and go to the Golden Continent with some crews.

This wealth is simply too large, so huge that it is suffocating.

Who would have thought that just these few broken ships, how to order people, go out for more than a year to bring back a huge wealth worth 30 million taels of silver.

Such a huge amount of wealth is not to mention for individuals, even if it is put into the treasury of the Ming court, the treasury of the imperial court is also going to get rich overnight, and the treasury will be full.

"Thirty million taels ~ so-so, so-so ~"

Even Zhu Houzhao, a big capitalist, said with a big grin.

"Thirty million taels of silver, the wave of wealth in the colonial era, we can finally cut a large piece, and when the time comes, as long as we defeat the Europeans here in the Americas, our Chinese descendants can monopolize the fertile Americas."

"If we can occupy the South Seas and Australia again, the entire Pacific Ocean will be the inner lake of our Chinese descendants."

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh for a while, and then couldn't help but think of it in his mind.

It is unthinkable to turn the Pacific Ocean into an inner lake for the descendants of China, but now it seems that it is not impossible to monopolize the Americas and Australia, and then occupy the South Seas and Luzon, and the Pacific Ocean will be the inner lake of the descendants of China.

"The next step is to develop in the South Seas and Luzon regions."
