In the warm pavilion, everyone suddenly lost their breath.

It was like a dead silence, and the people were silent.

Emperor Hongji's face suddenly lost its blood.

Fifteen million ...... It's still two, how many days have I saved, and only saved millions of taels of silver...... I...... Auditory hallucinations?

Then, someone started to breathe, and it was very heavy.

Wang Ao's face was bloodless, and he said sharply: "What fifteen million taels, Shou Ninghou, don't be unscrupulous, it's not a joke." ”

Zhang Heling felt that it was better to explain honestly.

"This time to the sea, brought back gold, silver, jewelry and spices, conservative calculations, more than 2,000 silver, in addition to paying customs duties, there are 20%, is the goods of the imperial court, after trading with people, the profits obtained, need to pay the imperial court, the rest, I ...... It's all divided. ”

At this moment, it was clear enough.

Wang Ao suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.

"What about the abacus, what about the abacus."

Zhu Houzhao shouted.

"......" It's okay that the prince doesn't call, but as soon as he called, Wang Ao couldn't hold back after all, snapped, and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

Fang Jifan said: "Don't count, I have a lot of mental arithmetic, this is not simple, thirty percent to the imperial court, no, now it is for the inner treasury, the rest, divided, this is one thousand five hundred taels, then, into the inner treasury, is more than six million taels of silver, Your Majesty gets eighty percent, the minister here is two percent, so that the minister gets more than one million, and the inner library gets five million taels of silver." ”

Fang Jifan began to calculate quickly: "But the account can't be calculated like this, for example, spices, although they are obtained, but because so many spices are imported at once, I am afraid that the price of this spice will fall, and it will definitely not be sold at the original price, so on this basis, it has to be reduced by two or three percent, which is about ...... His Majesty still has four million, and his ministers have one million. ”

Call......

Fifteen million taels, even if it doesn't matter.

Just talking about the remaining five or six million, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty is terriblely low, the income of silver is only about three million taels, and the rest, mostly taxes in kind, what kind of grain, cloth, silk and the like.

That is to say, when I came back this time, the one who handed over to the inner treasury was two years of annual income.

This account, Emperor Hongzhi can be considered to have figured it out.

His heart ...... Bleeding.

Silver, it's divided, this damn Shou Ninghou, why did he take so much, he is generous, he ...... He......

But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi was full of joy again.

Earned?

Fang Jifan is really right, going to the West, this is a profitable business.

After a brief period of heartache, Emperor Hongji's eyes lit up.

Got rich.

My inner wealth is full.

Build ships, build more ships, let more people go to sea, earn more silver, and then build more and more ships, let more people go to sea......

Emperor Hongzhi shook his spirits, and suddenly the dragon spirit was fierce, and his eyes were shining.

Jifan, this kid, has a vision, and he deserves to be my well-chosen son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly, and he has no regrets if he has a son-in-law.

Fang Jifan is beautiful, this is the silver that he picked up for nothing, but ...... How much did the Zhang brothers earn, these two guys, so stingy, must have hidden a lot of benefits, I have to report to Your Majesty later, let the factory guard check it, this is the silver of the inner treasury, you two brothers, you dare to hide it privately, you are bold, you can't kill you.

……

Wang Ao was shocked.

He was a little dazed, feeling that he had no strength in his body, and his limbs were limp.

What does that mean?

What this means is that he gave millions of years old to the palace.

Treasury...... The treasury saved a million taels and lost five or six million taels?

Suddenly, he felt that his brain was cramping.

Impossible, the old man didn't believe it.

How can there be so much silver in the world, and there must be no place to pick up this silver? It's a stratagem, it's a stratagem.

………

Liu Jian and the others, their faces were dark, and they all looked at Wang Ao.

The song was written by you, Wang Ao!

Xu Jing saw that Shou Ning Hou mentioned this matter, so he came to his senses, cheered up, and said: "Your Majesty, what Shou Ning Hou played is true, the minister here, there is a document for customs clearance, and the accounts have been calculated, please check it Your Majesty." In addition, the silver that was rewarded was really the hard work of the soldiers, if it weren't for the soldiers' lives, nine deaths, only afraid of the ministers, would have been buried in the ocean, please Your Majesty to see. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the account book to Xiao Jing, who held the account book and put it on the imperial case.

Emperor Hongzhi's body was trembling, his hand stretched out, and he opened a corner of the book, which was full of countless small characters, which made people have a headache to look at, but ...... This book can be verified by the celebrant and the celebrant slowly, as long as there is real money and silver, it will be fine.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "You don't have to look at it, I can trust Xu Qing's family." ”

…………

Wang Ao looked at the book directly, suddenly like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and the whole person was almost paralyzed.

He saw the gaze of Liu Jian and the others, all of them looking at him.

In this gaze, there is sympathy, with a bit of blame, as if to say, look at it, look at it, mislead the country and the people.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Ao's eyes suddenly lost color.

This is...... Heaven will die for me, God will die for me!

Wang Ao can almost imagine what terrible situation he will face after he walks out of the warm pavilion, the world's number one fool? Or did he collude with the emperor to obtain the silver taels that should have belonged to the treasury?

I'm Wang Ao...... I have a clear name.

…………

Liu Jian felt that his brain was like paste, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, managing the affairs of the world, but everything in the world was reaching out for silver.

It was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but the silver flew away.

What's even more ridiculous is that it's still ...... Everyone rejoiced, and after consulting with His Majesty, everyone agreed happily.

The request for the domestic money to pay for the expenses needed to go to the West, and the income from the Western Ocean to be charged into the domestic money, was also jointly sent by everyone, which is a declaration to the world.

He closed his eyes and heard Fang Jifan's rattling laughter, which was harsh.

Li Dongyang is also the secretary of the household department, and his mind is already running like an abacus.

In the end, he confirmed, he lost, the loss of blood was lost, and Wang Ao misled the country.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, this time, finally has confidence.

It is said that the military department spends money, and they all say that the military department wastes money and food, the prince, you lack virtue or not, you ......... Did you collude with the palace, you knew that there would be huge benefits in the West, so you conspired with the palace. Oh, you are still the emperor, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have played all the officials in the court.

Wang Ao decided to maintain his demeanor after a short period of loss of soul, he stiffened his face, looked at countless doubts and resentful eyes, and stood expressionlessly, it doesn't matter, the old man is high-spirited, everyone knows that everyone will never use the worst thoughts to guess the old man, this matter ...... This thing......

At this time, Fang Jifan had already gotten up: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

With this congratulations, the heart that taught Wang Ao to finally calm down was completely crushed like a devastating body.

Wang Ao snorted, his head sank, and he sat on the ground.

"Prince, prince......" The eunuchs panicked.

is so dignified, the prince is directly paralyzed.

Several eunuchs stepped forward with their hands and feet.

Wang Ao looked blankly at the void.

Finally, someone helped Wang Ao up.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Call the imperial doctor." ”

"Your Majesty." Wang Ao finally came out of the fugue: "Minister...... Nothing, nothing. He was in a trance, but he kept himself in his last grace.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, but he still fixed his mind and looked at Xu Jing: "I heard that the Qing family has arrived at the Golden Continent with a fleet."

"Exactly." Xu Jing said: "That Golden Continent is really a treasure land, Your Majesty, the land there is extremely fertile, but the population is scarce, the growth of grain, especially gratifying, no wonder so many high-yield crops in the world actually come from the Golden Continent." Even, this land is only barely cultivated one or two, sowing a handful of seeds, without careful cultivation, can grow grain, the ministers and others saw with their own eyes, the Francois there, opened up the wheat field, do not need to take care of it, the wheat harvest, is not under the Ming medium wheat field. ”

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his heart warmed up, he gasped, and suddenly there was a regret that there was really such a magical place in the world.

Xu Jing continued: "That Golden Continent, thousands of miles of fertile fields, lush forests, even if it is a tree, it is extraordinarily thick, the minister has even seen it, there is a certain kind of tree, dozens of people can not hold it down, such a giant tree, if it is in the Ming Dynasty, it can be called only a sacred tree." ”

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was even more surprised.

You know, the emperor wants to build a palace, often need a lot of noble wood, especially in order to make the palace pillars, it is necessary to have high-quality wood, and it also needs to be extremely strong, a good wood, may need to be found in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and then cut down, treat it, and then transported to Beijing by countless people by land and water, but dozens of people can not hold the sacred wood, but he is unheard of, if there are so many sacred trees in the Golden Continent, the abundance of this product, is not far more than ten times that of Middle Earth.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty occupies the Middle Earth, fertile and thousands of miles, is the land of the four seas, my Ming Dynasty, is the central country, everything can be self-sufficient, but now listen to what Qing said, isn't it the Golden Continent, the products are far better than the Ming Dynasty."

The central country, is so self-confident, look at everyone thinks it is a stinky dick, this is hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated self-confidence, although this self-confidence is a little inflated, but to be honest, if anyone occupies such a good land, the degree of wealth is more than a hundred times that of other surrounding sub-civilizations, will inevitably produce the idea of self-esteem.

Even if Zheng He went to the West, he experienced countless countries and felt their customs and customs clearly, but still, Da Ming still looked down on the countries along the West with a condescending attitude.
