This endless wealth made Hou Xing start to go a little crazy, and made him already speechless and hysterical.

Yi Shijia still recounted the process of making a big windfall on his trip, describing the benefits of ebony Qinan.

"The ebony material is hard and corrosion-resistant, with the charm of high-end wood and precious stone, the world calls it the Oriental Sacred Wood, but this thing is used as chopping wood to make a fire in Zhancheng, and it is already a loss for Weichen to exchange soybeans for their local scarce food. Qi Nan is a kind of agarwood, also known as Ganan incense, especially the best and most positive Qi Nan produced in Zhancheng, but this thing is used by the most ordinary local people and even savages in Zhancheng as wormwood to make a fire to drive away mosquitoes. The lower official used soybeans to exchange for the face of the natives, otherwise the lower official could directly use the cannon to open the way. Hou Xing seemed to be back to his soul at this time, he blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "You mean that these things are not robbed?" Yi Shijia looked at Hou Xing like a fool and said: "General Hou, if we say that the natives who occupy the city can't look down on the things that our Ming Dynasty army treats these things as treasures when they get there, do you think this will hurt the country and lose the face of my Celestial Empire?" Hou Xing shook his head in admiration, but he didn't think he should shake his head, so he nodded frequently. He looked at the surging river and the boundless momentum of nearly two hundred ships, Mr. Tinglin closed his eyes excitedly, and then opened his eyes suddenly, and only said: "I wish to level the East China Sea, and my body will not change." Then he took his leave, and returned to the city.

Several court bigwigs, plus a Nanyang consolation envoy Yi Shijia, and a thousand-year-old soy sauce bottle, finally had enough of the excitement and returned to the court to report the arrival, only Tang Shaoyao was still on the riverside and counted hundreds of boats of Zhancheng rice without asking about the world, and the Ming Dynasty needed these grains for military funds, which made Zuo Shilang, who had always been unable to make ends meet a few years ago, saw that there was so much polished rice that he could really laugh from Tianling Gai'er to his heels. In Tang Shaoyao's eyes, these are not just as simple as food, in his heart, every ten boats of grain can almost exchange for the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty. The 159 mansions of the Ming Dynasty have now almost recovered more than half, and there are still more than 50 mansions occupied by the Qing court, and if this hundred boats of grain are used as military funds, it is very likely to support the Ming Dynasty to recover one-fifth of the remaining occupied mansions, what a big thing is this? At this time, a Lang Zhong from the household department walked to Tang Zhaoyao, who was crackling with an abacus: "My lord, the treasury has been filled by us, and there is really no place to put the remaining forty boats of grain." Tang Shaoyao Huo Ran got up and jumped and shouted: "How can this really be true!" You don't want jewels, but houses are nothing! But if anyone dares to say that the grain is not allowed to be released, my old Tang will find him desperately! How much grain is that, ah? You are 16 stones, and I am only 35 stones, so much food must be put down, you go to the military department to take a trip, to tell them to vacate the small school field in the city to our household department, we want to load food, you just told the military department Shangshu Yinxi and the right waiter Hao Yongzhong Hao Shaobao said, if the military department does not vacate the small school field for us to load food, my old Tang will go to the saint to ask for his imperial garden, and the old Tang will cut down all the trees in the imperial garden to build the granary, and the wood is ready-made. If it's not enough, I'll flatten my house to make a granary, and if it's not enough, I'll flatten the houses of all the officials in Beijing who are above the fifth grade to make a granary! ”

Tang Shaoyao's voice was already hoarse, and when he finished shouting these last few words, his throat was dry and coughed a lot, and the Tobe Langzhong next to him quickly took out a private pear from his arms and wiped it on his cuffs before handing it to his Shangguan Tang Shaoyao. Tang Shaoyao blushed and took the pear unceremoniously, and the juice from the chewing of the click and the click of the pear flowed, which made Lang Zhongkan's heart, who had just given the pear, spontaneously cowardly and couldn't help swallowing a few saliva. "Xiaguan will do it! Go to the military department to smash the field, but if the lower official can't come back, you have to ask the adults to help the lower official send a few bowls of dry rice to the prison, and the lower official will eat the rice transported from the city! Tang Shaoyao muttered the unswallowed pear in his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand holding the pear and signaled this Lang Zhong to go to the military department to find death, oh no, it's to find fault.

Li Dingguo, the left attendant of the military department, is not in Beijing, and now the military department only has Yin Xi and Hao Yongzhong, the right attendant, but none of these generals are easy to get along with, especially in today's Yongli Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has changed the usual practice of being noble and military in the past, and many generals who support the army can call themselves the emperor's buddies and brothers in life and death, and they are difficult to take a look at these groups of swords and pens in the civil service team and even the second and third grade masters such as Shangshu Shilang. This makes this Hubu Langzhong, who has the courage to dare to kill the god Hao Yongzhong and grab the land in front of him, have a kind of tragedy and heroism that will never return once he is gone. The reason why Tang Shaoyao was so excited when he saw a hundred boats of grain was not that there was a lot of grain in these hundred boats, but that he had a hunch that there would be more and more grain from overseas in the future. Don't forget that he, Tang Shaoyao, in addition to being the left attendant of the household department, also ran the maritime yamen and personally established the first maritime academy in the Ming Dynasty. Tang Shaoyao knew better than the other ministers of the court about what the wealth of the sea represented and what would be brought back from the ocean in the future.

"Okay, you Yi Shijia, you didn't follow the holy decree, didn't use swords, and started doing business with the natives of Nanyang." Zhu Si, who was sitting crookedly on the dragon chair, smiled and scolded Yi Shijia who was kneeling down, and Yi Shijia also understood that no matter how his wealth was obtained from overseas, he only had merit and no fault. Since the emperor is a pragmatist, as long as he brings back a lot more things that the emperor needs, the emperor will only be happy, so when he is happy, he is scolded by the emperor for a few words, which is a special honor as a favored minister. And this turbulent experience not only made Yi Shijia see a bright future, but also made him unfazed. Not only will he become the emperor's favorite, but he will also lead a trend and bring another glory to the dynasty.
