Chapter 019: Input
Zhao Hao felt dizzy as soon as he got off the boat, and the person seemed to float, he knew that this was 'seasickness', and the sequelae of people after staying on the boat for a long time. With Ni Liang's support, he turned around for a while, and then he felt that there was a root under his feet, and the others were not much better, and he stumbled for a while before he stabilized his footing, but those boatmen had already begun to drive small boats to transfer fresh water.
"Outside of the banker, how much are these things worth?" When Zhao Hao woke up, he found that everyone's eyes were not quite right, and they were staring at the gold and silver property piled up on the beach one by one, obviously wanting to get a share of it, he couldn't calculate how much these things were worth, but it was estimated that this hill-like pile alone would not be too little.
"Your Highness, the small one is probably estimated to have more than 100,000 yuan!" Zhuang Shilin wiped his saliva and said, "Oh, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry among them, and it is difficult to estimate them without inspection, maybe more." He looked at His Highness with doubts and hurriedly added.
"Oh, there are so many." Liu Huang couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and the eyes of the onlookers on the side became even more eager.
"Alas, my lord, most of these treasures were looted by the Tartars, and I don't know how many unjust souls have been added to the sea." Zhuang Shilin sighed gloomily and said, everyone has seen that going to sea to trade is very profitable, but as a maritime merchant, he naturally understands the hardships, if he encounters a natural disaster on the way, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, which can only be said to be unlucky; In addition to the robbery of pirates on the way, the tax of the port, the most helpless thing is the war, the ship may be requisitioned by any party at any time, the goods are confiscated, and the people and goods are often empty.
"It doesn't matter if he robs or steals, now it's ours in our hands!" As a soldier, Zhao Mengjin would not think about it so much, and the items seized from the enemy ships were naturally trophies.
"What do you think is going to be done with all this possessions?" Piles of gold and silver property were piled up in front of him, which made Zhao Hao, who had seen 'big money', also feel turbulent, and even had a thought in his heart - being a pirate is also a good livelihood, driving warships, flying skull flags, crisscrossing the seas, eating meat in large chunks, and drinking a lot of wine is also a happy life, but reason tells him that it is not possible now.
"This time, we can retreat from the enemy thanks to the command of His Highness, and it should be returned to His Highness's mansion!" Zhao Mengjin first said that according to the military law of the Great Song Dynasty, the seizure should be included in the account according to the practice, and half of it will be rewarded for merit, and it is obvious to everyone whose merit it can get out of danger.
"If there is no objection from a certain family, please accept all of them from Your Highness." Zheng Huchen is also ready to serve the Wei Wangfu, of course, there will be no objections, just filial piety.
"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the property obtained should be used for public use, and should not be hidden." Liu Huang glanced at everyone and frowned and said, he knew that the two leaders said that others would not dare to speak up even if they had opinions, and wealth was moving, and it was not good for His Highness to develop a greed for money at a young age, so he blocked his words.
"Lord Liu is reasonable, but this king has a suggestion!" Zhao Yu was also observing everyone, Zhao Da and Zheng Hu were angry, but they dared not speak out against Liu Huang, and more people were disappointed.
"Your Highness, please!" His Royal Highness has something to say, and in front of everyone, Liu Huang naturally can't say no.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king thinks that in order to get rid of the enemy ship, he threw a lot of goods on board into the water, causing Zheng Gangshou and many merchants to suffer a lot of losses, so I think that some of the property should be compensated; In addition, we can recover thanks to the care of Hao Hanlin and other doctors, and we should also be rewarded with some of our possessions; Of course, everyone also contributed to the resistance to the enemy, and they deserved a share of the reward. And now we are separated from the brigade and don't know when we will be able to meet, there must be expenses, so the remaining property will be handed over to Lord Liu and others for temporary custody and payment, and this king will not use it at all, what do you think? Zhao Yu said.
As soon as Zhao Hao's words came out, everyone was shocked, so much gold and silver were divided, and there was no big one, and he secretly said in his heart that His Royal Highness was because he was young and unenlightened, or did he really regard money as dung? But His Royal Highness's words are reasonable, and the more effort you have, you will naturally get more, and you can't find anything wrong with it at all, but it makes people feel very comfortable listening to it.
"Your Highness, by all means, those property should be small to contribute to the country, how can you ask Your Highness for compensation, and the right to be small to do some meager efforts for the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhuang Shilin reacted quickly, he pondered that His Royal Highness had done all the things that called for wind and rain, how could he be mentally retarded, this was also a good time for him to show his loyalty, and immediately knelt down and wept and said, I don't know, I thought he was moved to death!
"Your Highness, it is the duty of the lower officials to treat the sick, and they dare not be greedy for the merits of the heavens!" Hao Yuntong also waved his hand again and again, refusing His Highness's reward. But he was very moved in his heart, he said that he was a newly entered Hanlin doctor, belonging to the lowest-ranking medical envoy, and sending him on the ship was obviously to do his best, plus to be a substitute for the dead ghost. And he himself knows best who played a role in curing the plague on the ship, and now that His Highness has credited him with this great merit, it is already a great grace, how dare he ask for another reward.
"That's what they said, now I'm floating on the sea all day long, and I have nowhere to spend my money, so we don't want it!" At this time, Zhao Mengjin said with a smile, and the people behind him also echoed, obviously giving up.
"Your Royal Highness, look at ......" Liu Huang was relieved, although he was not a greedy person, but he also knew that the lack of money in the imperial court was wandering, and this trip to Quanzhou was also to solve the financial crisis.
"Oh, Lord Liu also thinks that this is feasible, then ask the banker to count and appraise the valuation, and you will preside over the reward!" Zhao Hao interrupted him without waiting for Liu Di to finish speaking.
"It's good!" Liu Huang gritted his teeth and said, His Highness completely misunderstood what he meant, but now that the words have been spoken, they are like spilled water, and he can only do as he is told.
Watching everyone take stock of their belongings under Liu Di's supervision, Zhao Hao also sighed. Everyone knows that money is a good thing, and he is not stupid, of course he knows how important money is to himself now. But he was still willing to give away the money for nothing, because he knew that he had no ability to keep the money, but Liu Huang didn't realize this, thinking that he had mastered the situation with his authority.
And Zhao Yu saw a lot of things in his previous life that turned against him for money, and now the people on the ship seem to be harmonious and obey orders, but in fact, it is just a crisis moment in order to protect themselves, and after it is lifted, it is inevitable that people will have some crooked thoughts, especially when this human life is like a mustard in turmoil. Putting so much money around you is tantamount to setting yourself on fire, people who don't have the courage to kill themselves, but for the sake of money, they dare to take risks, it is better to disperse to stabilize people's hearts and save their lives, why not, although the pain is tight......
Zhao Da and the others decided to clean up the stranded enemy ship for the second time after the tide dropped, so they would not leave in a hurry tonight. Zhao Yu found a stream on the island to wash away the mud and dirt accumulated on his body for more than ten days, and after eating a stable meal on the ground, he returned to the boat in order to prevent the remnants of the enemy from attacking on the island.
Zhao Yu almost didn't sleep last night, he was very tired, but he still couldn't sleep after returning to the boat. He now has an incomparable fear of sleeping, as soon as he closes his eyes, he returns to the bloody night of Quanzhou, his eyes are full of ragged corpses, flowing blood and panicked people; The terrible howls of the dying and the arrogant laughter of the pursuing Mongol soldiers echoed in his ears.
To be honest, Zhao Yu didn't think he was a timid person in his previous life, but he came from an era where no bloody scenes were allowed in film and television, and the sea of corpses and blood only existed in books and imagination. When all this really happened in front of him, he had to admit that he was really scared, and it seemed to outsiders that he was scared stupid if he didn't cry or make trouble, and when he learned his identity and era at this time, he never slept peacefully.
People tend to be afraid of the unknown, and now Zhao Yu's fear is precisely to know what will happen in the future, which is like a death row prisoner who has been informed of the execution date waiting to go to the execution ground, and the taste can be imagined. So he thought he could change that.
But when watching the people on the shore excitedly waiting for Liu Huang and others to value and count the confiscated property and calculate how much they could get, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be a little frustrated, his series of actions didn't seem to have any effect, they didn't seem to be more interested in themselves than those money, and Liu Huang, who he relied on the most, still seemed to be hesitating.
But the world is impermanent, just when Zhao Yu was feeling sorry for himself and secretly scolding those white-eyed wolves who didn't repay their kindness, someone couldn't wait to start acting......
At the time of the lamp, Zhao Mengjin, Zheng Huchen and Zhuang Shilin did not have such and such scruples as Liu Di, they quietly slipped into the cockpit of King Wei, and did not say much when they entered, bowed their heads in their astonishment, and called them 'lord', and they showed their loyalty to this drooping naughty boy. Zhao Yu was already stunned at the moment, and before he could figure out what the three people meant, they dragged in a few more boxes from outside the cabin, and they knew that the weight was not light, and after opening it, it was even more golden, and it was full of yellow and white things.
'Nothing to do, courteous or treacherous, or thief', Zhao Yu still understands this truth. The three of them are not related to themselves, and they have known each other for less than two days, and they have not yet become familiar with them to this extent. And even if you want to repay the grace of saving your life, it is enough to give this heavy gift, and the allegiance is a bit too much......
