Tianjin Port, with the news that the fleet is about to return back, the entire Tianjin Port is crowded with people who eat melons to see the excitement, not only Tianjin locals come to see the excitement, and even well-informed people are hurrying from the capital, ready to see what good things the fleet has brought back from the Golden Continent.

Here in the huge port of Tianjin, there are a sea of people, and countless people are waiting anxiously, discussing with each other the fleet to the Golden Continent.

"Finally back, it's been more than a year, I thought they had been buried in the sea, there was no news for more than a year, and now they are finally back."

"When they set off, I happened to be here, and I still clearly remember that it was the first day of June in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and at that time, it was almost the same as now, and the entire port of Tianjin was crowded."

Old man Ding is a native of Tianjin, usually idle, and his favorite thing to do is to come to Tianjin Port to wander around, and he can always see something new, so he has the capital to brag to others.

"Old man Ding, you say, did they reach the Golden Continent?"

Someone next to him asked.

"Nonsense, in more than a year, I must have arrived at the Golden Continent, otherwise I would have come back a long time ago."

Old man Ding said with certainty.

"Is this Golden Continent really full of gold?"

Someone else asked with concern.

"How do I know this, I didn't go to the Golden Continent, when I get off the fleet and come back, see how much gold they brought back, I should almost know, Liu Gongzi will not lie."

"We Tianjin can have the current prosperity and wealth, not all thanks to Liu Gongzi, he is the champion, how can he deceive people, he said that the Golden Continent is full of gold, then it is full of gold."

Old man Ding said with great certainty, for Liu Jin, the people in the entire Tianjin area are very convinced, and now Tianjin is already the most prosperous and huge city in the entire Ming Dynasty except for the capital.

Even because Tianjin does not have many restrictions in Beijing, the development of Tianjin is even more rapid, and the population has exceeded two million.

Tianjin New Town, with its rows of high-rise buildings, spacious cement roads, and a large number of factories and workshops, is full of vitality and has developed extremely rapidly.

There is no doubt that the biggest benefit from the development of Tianjin is naturally the local people of Tianjin, and every Tianjin person can clearly feel that life is getting better and easier.

Naturally, he is also full of gratitude to Liu Jin, here in Tianjin, if someone says bad things about Liu Jin, he may be beaten and bruised and swollen.

"Old man Ding, who is the person wearing bright yellow clothes on the dock, how big is the pie, and there are a lot of officials around."

At this time, someone looked at the dock and saw a young man, wearing a bright yellow python robe and a crown, and many palace guards and factory guards next to him pulled out a security cordon.

"That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, I didn't expect the prince to come in person to welcome the return of the fleet."

When Old Man Ding saw it, he couldn't help but say.

"Next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Liu Gongzi, and he really came."

Then the sharp-eyed old man Ding also recognized Liu Jin beside Zhu Houzhao at a glance.

At this time, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were also talking and laughing, and waited very patiently.

Yesterday, they had already received news that the fleet heading to the Golden Continent was finally about to return to Daming, so Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao rushed over from the capital almost overnight, ready to welcome the return of the fleet in person.

"Lao Liu, you said that these ten Dafu ships went out, how many could they come back in the end?"

Zhu Hou took care of the lively scene around him, and said to Liu Jin with a smile.

"It's okay to be able to come back halfway, as long as you can bring back high-yield crops, then this route will be a complete success."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, for the uncertainty of navigation in this era, Liu Jin did not have the luxury of expecting that all of the ten Dafu ships would be able to come back safely, and it would be fine to be able to come back.

The most important thing is to bring high-yield crops back, this thing is the most important, as for whether gold is gold or not, in Liu Jin's opinion, it is not very important.

Although gold is a symbol of wealth, in essence, this gold can neither be eaten nor drunk, and for the Ming Dynasty, only high-yielding crops are truly meaningful.

"Golden Continent, sooner or later, I will also go to the gold side to have a look, and I don't know what this Golden Continent looks like."

After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then showed a fascinated expression.

His words also startled Liu Jin and Liu Jin on the side, this Zhu Houzhao was so restless that he actually wanted to go to the Golden Continent, this is not a joke.

"Well, the Golden Continent is actually not much different from our Daming, and when the future route is opened up and stabilized, I also want to go to the Golden Continent to see."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin could only say this.

"Then when the time comes, let's go together."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes narrowed happily, Lao Liu and himself were still in the same boat.

Liu Jin smiled and looked back at the entire port area, the entire port area was crowded with people because of the return of the fleet, there were family members of the crew, as long as it was in Tianjin and Beijing, Liu Jin had already asked people to pick them up as soon as possible, so that it was convenient for the crew and their families to reunite as soon as possible.

There are also reporters from the Ming Morning Post, this is a super big news, and there are too many news materials that can be excavated, so all the reporters from the Ming Morning Post in the capital and Tianjin have come, and there are more than 20 of them.

There are also reporters who are constantly interviewing some people and asking them how they feel, and some reporters are thinking carefully about how to find a way to interview the crew of the fleet and get first-hand news materials.

There are businessmen from the Beijing-Tianjin area, emerging capitalists, as well as the academy of Tianjin Maritime College, sailors who often go to sea, etc., as long as there is nothing to do, almost all of them come, all want to see how the fleet to the Golden Continent is doing.

"Bell~Bell~"

"The fleet to the Golden Continent is back~"

At this time, a burst of bells rang from the top of the harbor watchtower, and the lookout shouted at the entire harbor area with a large iron horn.

"It's coming~"

Hearing this voice, everyone immediately looked at the water and the sky, and vaguely could see a sail heading towards the port of Tianjin.

It wasn't long before a few more sails came out, and the ships of the fleet took on a straight line, cleaving the waves between the water and the sky, and heading towards the port.

On the deck of the Taishan, every crew member couldn't help but burst into tears, and all of them came to the deck, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Tianjin port in front of them, and they all roared excitedly.

Du Mingen, Lin Shuhong, Tian Erniu and others all looked at the port area with binoculars, and saw that the port area was crowded with people, and countless people were waiting anxiously.

Some people seem to notice them looking at them with binoculars and can't help but wave their arms in welcome.

"It's His Royal Highness the Prince, and Gongzi Liu~"

Du Mingen immediately discovered Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin who were in the best position on the dock, and in more than a year, Zhu Houzhao has grown a lot taller, and Liu Jin has become more mature.

"Father ~ Mother, and embroidery girl, big treasure, little treasure ~"

Tian Erniu's eyes were very sharp, and he suddenly found the crew family area here, where he was anxiously waiting for his parents, wife and children, and suddenly the whole person couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement.

After more than a year, I finally came back and saw my family at once.

"Father and mother are very good-looking, ruddy complexion, and they both seem to be fine~"

"The embroidered girl is a lot haggard~"

"Dabao and Xiaobao have grown up, how much more~"

Tian Erniu took the binoculars and looked at it carefully, seeing that his family was doing very well, and the whole person smiled happily.

"Everyone pay attention to Pier 3, our family is in this area~"

Then Tian Erniu also said loudly to the crew around him.

"Yes~"

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly looked at Pier 3, and soon, one after another, people found their families, and they couldn't help cheering and waving their hands.

"It must have been arranged by Liu Gongzi~"

Then Tian Erniu said with great certainty, there was a warm current flowing through the whole person's heart, and Liu Gongzi really said to them that everything was arranged properly.

"Teacher~"

"Brother Huang, Brother Tong~"

Lin Shuhong also discovered Liu Jin at once, and at the same time, he also found Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan, who were standing respectfully in official uniforms not far behind Liu Jin.

"They all seem to be in high school, and they have all put on the official uniforms of the imperial court~"

A smile appeared on Lin Shuhong's face.

The fleet is getting closer and closer to the port, and it doesn't take long for each other to be able to clearly understand each other, here in the port, the excited crowd, especially in the family area of Pier 3, where many family members of the crew are anxiously looking for their families on the ship.

Whenever someone finds their loved ones, they immediately can't help but wave their hands excitedly and shout excitedly at the same time.

"Dabao, Xiaobao, look, that's Dad~"

Tian Erniu's wife, Xiuniang, suddenly saw Tian Erniu wearing a captain's uniform on the deck, and immediately pointed in the direction and said to her child excitedly.

"Daddy~"

"Daddy~"

When Dabao and Xiaobao heard it, they quickly recognized their father, who hadn't seen him for more than a year, although he was tanned, he could still recognize it at once, and immediately shouted excitedly, waving his hands at the same time.

"Big Treasure ~ Little Treasure ~"

Tian Erniu naturally shouted excitedly, the closer he got to it, the more excited he shouted, and gradually, everyone could already hear each other's voices and clearly see each other's excited expressions.

Not only Tian Erniu's family is so excited, but almost everyone in the entire family area is very excited, and everyone is constantly shouting and greeting their relatives.

"I'm back~"

On the Daifuku ships, the crew members kept shouting excitedly.

I'm so excited~

After more than a year, they returned to Daming smoothly, and at the same time, they saw their relatives in the first time, reunited after a long absence, full of joy, this is the case.

"I'm going~ are they going to be beggars?"

Zhu Hou looked at the ships that slowly moored down at the port wharf, and then looked at the crew on the ship, all of them were very tanned, even if it was black, anyway, the peasants of this era were also black.

But the point is that these people are all dressed in tatters, and at the same time their faces are full of wrinkles, and they seem to be much older all of a sudden, almost like beggars.

"Your Highness, they have been on the sea for a long time, exposed to the wind and sun, and the living conditions are very hard, it is not surprising that they have become like this, and people who have been at sea for a long time are like this."

Liu Jin smiled and explained.

"I see, it seems that this voyage is not very interesting."

After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao pouted slightly and said, originally in his opinion, sailing should be a very interesting thing, to discover the unknown world, to contact the unknown civilization, to pursue wealth, just thinking about it makes people excited, makes people fascinated, now it seems that there is nothing.

Liu Jin smiled and looked at the ship that had already docked.

"Ten Daifuku ships, one is not less, it seems that their trip should be quite smooth."

Liu Jin counted the Dafu ships that came back, although these ships seemed to be very dilapidated, the sails were patched, and many areas on the deck were still missing, as if they had been cut down, but the number was not less, when he went, it was ten, and this time it was ten.

The ship was moored, the crew immediately rushed off the ship excitedly, there was a ship just moored here at Pier 3, and suddenly all the crew members went straight to their families, some people hugged each other excitedly, some shouted happily, and some people lifted their children, happy.

As the captain of the fleet, Du Mingen naturally couldn't go to gather with his family first, but took people to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, and said respectfully: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince~"

"Wai courtesy~ No courtesy, welcome back~"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and warmly welcomed.

"Mr. Du, welcome back~"

Liu Jin also welcomed Du Mingen with a smile.

"Haha, Liu Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but the demeanor is still the same~"

Du Mingen said with a smile and Liu Jin.

"It seems that this trip should be very smooth~"

Liu Jin asked with a smile.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, we are very smooth at this time~"

Du Mingen nodded and said, carefully thinking back on the experience of more than a year, it seems that it can be said that it has been very smooth, although they have suffered a lot when they come back, but in general, they still came back smoothly, there is no less ship, no one is missing, and they have completed the mission assigned by Emperor Hongzhi, and they also came back with huge wealth.

"Brothers, take our back out~"

Thinking of this, Du Mingen said to his crew.

"Okay~"

When the crew heard this, they all shouted excitedly.

Then the crew began to get busy, and at the same time, the staff of the port of Tianjin also began to assist in moving the ship's things down.

"Your Highness, Liu Gongzi~"

"This is corn, sweet potato, potato~"

Du Mingen dragged three things with a tray to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin's side.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately picked it up and took a closer look, Liu Jin naturally recognized it at a glance, yes, it was these three things.

"That's right, it's these three things, and I won't have a famine anymore~"

Liu Jin looked at the three things in the tray and said excitedly.

With corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, as long as it is promoted throughout Daming, there is absolutely no need to worry about eating.

"Hey~hey~"

On the other hand, the crew struggled to carry a box off the ship, the box was very heavy, and the crew was very struggling.

"Take out all the contents and put them on the dock for everyone to see."

As soon as Liu Jin saw this, he immediately knew that it must be something like silver and gold, so he thought about it and ordered.

"Yes~"

When the crew heard this, they quickly nodded.

When the box was opened, the yellow gold bricks suddenly came into everyone's eyes, and suddenly the people in the entire port couldn't help but shout.

"Gold ~ is gold ~ "

If you want to say what these melon-eating people in the port area want to see the most, it is definitely white flowers and silver and golden gold.

The crew took all the gold out and piled it up on the docks.

Boxes after boxes, everyone was busy, and soon a small pile of gold was piled up at the place where the ship was moored, and the light emitted by the gold attracted the attention of everyone in the entire port area.

"Mr. Du, how much gold did you bring back?"

It was Zhu Houzhao, who also narrowed his little eyes at this time, looking at the piles of gold on the dock, and the piles of gold piled up at the location of a ship, and it was still in a steady stream, and boxes and boxes of gold were moved out, as if they would not be able to move at all for a while.

"I didn't weigh it, anyway, we filled all ten ships with gold, and it can really be said that gold is everywhere here in the Golden Continent."

Du Mingen said with a big grin.

He really didn't weigh it, just by relying on trade exchange, he exchanged a huge amount of gold from the descendants of Yin Shang here in Central America, and the gold was too much.

"Gold~Still Gold~"

Here in the port area, the eyes of countless people were red, watching boxes and boxes of gold continue to be carried out, and soon there were ten small mountains on the dock.

"Oh my God, how much gold is there?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"It seems that the Golden Continent is really full of gold~"

At this moment, everyone's minds were full of gold, and at this time, they really believed what Liu Jin said, the Golden Continent was full of gold.

Otherwise, how could this fleet bring back so much gold, ten Daifuku ships, and the feelings are all gold.
