Chapter 738: What Are You?

The more they counted, the colder the officers and scribes became.

Look at this box of treasures.

Yes, they were plundered from the ships of the Franc planes.

After occupying various colonies, the Franciscans frantically plundered local supplies, or directly plundered local gold and silver, and sent them back to their home countries one by one.

Yes, from colonies all over the place.

Others come from the proceeds of trade in the sea.

Most of the proceeds from the sea trade were exchanged for official silk and porcelain.

Xu Jing kept an eye on it, and all the official trade proceeds were recorded in an account, which belonged to the imperial court.

This time the customs clearance lasted for a full day.

People had to stay here.

Those Tianjin soldiers who did good things refused to disperse for a long time, and some people came again after eating.

To their astonishment, the fleet brought back not only a group of ragged, yellow-skinned sailors, but also ...... Countless treasures.

People kept talking, and some people whispered: "It is said that the silver brought back now is 3,270,000 taels." "One pound of Daming is sixteen taels, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of catties.

Overseas, a lot of silver is not currency, people are accustomed to using gold for currency purposes, so the price of silver is not expensive, many people, actually just use silver to make utensils or only as ornaments, so in the process of trade, the fleet frantically purchased silver, hundreds of thousands of catties of silver, converted, only a few hundred tons, but to the Ming Dynasty, is a huge amount of wealth.

Gold is the most terrible, and when the final accounting is made, the gold has been 1.9 million taels, the same is only 100 tons, placed in the Golden Continent, it is just the emperor of a certain country to build a gold house for himself, but this gold is not in the Franco, or the Ming Dynasty, it is also a terrible wealth, converted into silver, only afraid of the value of more than 10 million taels.

In addition to that, there are hundreds of tons of spices, countless ivory, agate and other jewelry.

Nearly 20% of the money is obtained from the exchange of official porcelain and silk. The rest, mostly snatched from the hands of the Franco.

Twenty percent of the gold and silver were all packed and sent directly to the treasury, no, now, it should be the inner treasury.

The rest, according to the tariff, in the form of one out of ten, this one, and then withdrawn, to enrich the inner treasury, and the rest according to the size of the merit, distributed and rewarded the officers and men of the fleet.

When they went to sea, two thousand sailors and sailors, even if they had no merit, took the least, and the amount of silver was three thousand taels.

Those who have more are 20,000 or even 30,000 taels.

At this time, silver has not been continuously imported into the Ming Dynasty, this is only the first time to import, so the price of silver has not been like the history of the geographical discovery after the great discovery, the Francois crazy to import silver into the Middle Earth, the price of silver, has not depreciated, even the poorest sailor, the three thousand taels of silver in his hand, is enough to make him rich, become the leading local family, marry a few mothers-in-law, completely without a problem, build a few acres of mansion, and then buy a hundred acres of land.

As for those who have made meritorious contributions and received tens of thousands of taels of silver, it will be even more terrifying.

All of a sudden, the whole port was beaming.

And countless boxed wealth, all need to be sent to the West Mountain first, and then use a large scale to divide the silver, this is also for safety, the gold and silver are divided here, although the sailors are all people who lick the blood with the head of the knife, but they can't carry these wealth for a while, most of them are surrounded by four walls, these hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold and silver, directly put into their own thatched huts?

Tianjin Wei boiled.

Nima! This going to sea is almost the same as moving a mountain of gold.

Many sailors who went to sea were military households of Tianjin Wei, and when they were assigned to the sailors and let them go to sea, I don't know how many people cried and got on the boat, so that those military households who were not recruited breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, luck, go to sea, isn't this the eighth king? DIED OUTSIDE, THERE WERE NO BONES, AND NO ONE TOOK CARE OF THE OLD NIANG IN THE FAMILY.

Can ...... now Quite a few people cried.

They are all destitute people, they don't have three meals, where did they think that the people who were sympathized at the beginning, in the blink of an eye, have become rich and rich, and have made a fortune.

Moreover, apparently they found a good backer, Ambassador Xu led them, out of the port, behind is Shou Ninghou, the one in front, it is said that he is the protégé of the Fang family, and the gold and silver are also distributed to the state government and the palace of Xishan Town, people continue to spread the word of mouth, and the sailors can go to Xishan at any time to withdraw this silver.

They are like proud little roosters, swaggering through the market, don't look at the ragged clothes, but the waist is hard, and even more different people, these people on the boat, have been through hardships for a long time, and many comrades have suffered together, and they have a deep friendship with each other, these people who kill people overseas like numbness, give people a different temperament.

Even if the people who were looked down upon at the beginning, when they arrived in Hong Kong, they received a certificate of silver, and hurried to their homes to see their old mother, their homes, most of which were poor military families in the past, and when they arrived at the home of the four walls, they immediately knelt down and cried, and if there were brothers, wives, sons and daughters in the family, the family hugged their heads and cried.

It's back...... Finally back.

People are still alive.

After crying, the local Qianhu official came to the door, and the news was simply crazy.

For example, the local Qianhu learned that the two dogs under their jurisdiction had returned.

I heard that they have made a fortune, and these Shangguan have long since taken the general's land property for themselves, and they regard the soldiers below them as their own serfs, but now that goods like Ergou have made a fortune, they naturally have to make up their minds.

So, hurriedly took people and hurried to Ergou's house, before the people arrived, many nearby military households, all came to see the rarity, people grinned, some envious, some jealous, and some thought that there might be fun to see, naturally, there are few people who are worried about it.

There are three layers on the outside and three layers on the outside, and all of them are people. As soon as the Qianhu official entered the door, he said with a smile: "Ergou is back." ”

When the two dogs heard this, they didn't react, but his mother, wife and children turned pale with fright.

Qianhu officials sat down by themselves, and a few henchmen stood aside.

Qianhu Guan crossed his feet and said: "Ergou, it's good for you to come back, look at your mother, if it weren't for the official to take care of it, she would have died a long time ago, I heard that you made a fortune, okay, according to the rules of Weili, you also know, you ...... this silver"

The second dog stood up.

Look at countless eyes looking at yourself.

These thousands of officials are considered to have eaten two dogs to death, people whispered, and many people felt sorry for him.

In the past, Ergou was a timid and fearful person, and when he saw a thousand household officials, he was extremely cowardly, and the tragedy of the military household came from the fact that they were completely attached to the military attaché, and the military attachés controlled the life and death of their family.

Seeing this, Ergou's mother was terrified and wanted to salute the officials of the thousand households.

Ergou looked at Qianhu Guan calmly.

This is a very strange feeling, when I went to sea, when I saw a thousand household officials, I was in awe and awe, and now I look at him again, I haven't seen him for three years, and I think this person is slippery and laughable.

Ergou stepped forward: "Thank you Cheng Qianhu for taking care of your mother, Cheng Qianhu asked what kind of silver." ”

"Haha, of course it's silver from overseas, I already knew about it, and it ...... according to the rules."

"Cheng Qianhu wants?" Ergou looked at him strangely.

Cheng Qianhu crossed his feet and smiled.

Ergou didn't say anything, and took out the voucher from his arms: "This is the voucher issued by Ambassador Xu and Shouning Hou, and it says nine thousand three hundred and fifty-four taels written on it!" ”

When they heard this number, everyone gasped and went crazy, and their scalps went numb.

Ergou snapped and slapped the voucher on the table: "Cheng Qianhu wants it, take it by yourself and go to Xishan to get it." ”

"......" Cheng Qianhu's face changed, and he pondered: "You go and get it, bring it back, keep a few hundred taels for yourself, buy some clothes for the old mother and children at home, and your house should be repaired." ”

The implication is that the rest of the officials have no choice but to laugh and accept.

After hearing this, Ergou actually felt funny: "Cheng Qianhu didn't dare to get it, right?" Are you afraid of Ambassador Xu, or Shou Ninghou? ”

"You ......" Cheng Qianhu's face changed: "What do you mean." ”

Ergou sighed, and suddenly, there was a murderous intent in his eyes, and this light fell on Cheng Qianhu.

What a terrible eye, bloodshot but strangely calm, but behind this calm, there was an indescribable sharpness.

"Cheng Qianhu wants silver, but he doesn't have the guts, right?" Ergou squinted, and suddenly, he laughed insolently.

After hearing this, the henchman clasped his hands and shouted angrily: "Ergou, you are so bold......"

As he was talking, this Ding Tu felt a flower in front of him.

A fist slammed into his face.

Syllable......

This punch was made by Ergou, crisp, neat, no fancy, mediocre, but very fast, this Ding didn't know what was going on, in an instant, he felt that his face was like a hammer beating hard, and at the bridge of his nose, there was an inaudible crisp sound of broken nose, nosebleeds and flying front teeth splashed everywhere.

The family subconsciously wanted to cover his face.

These people, who have received this, screamed and covered their faces, and rolled on the ground in pain.

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing this, Cheng Qianhu's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "You ......"

The second dog didn't look at the housekeeper, but suddenly from his waist, he took out a dagger, which was found from a captive of the Franco, made of stainless steel, and the dagger came out, shaking with a silver light, and then, his hand was neat and neat to make the sharp dagger stab.

The dagger stabbed into the table.

Penetrating.

Sawdust flying.

The second dog looked up again.

The thousand households were almost collapsed, he didn't expect that these two dogs ...... How bold you are!

Ergou smiled, this smile was very calm, only the muscles on his face were involved, but he suddenly shouted: "What are you Cheng Jianye, you are used to being in one acre and three points of land in this thousand households, so you don't know what to do, you want to blackmail me?" ”

Qianhu was about to faint...... Back then, the cowardly second dog is now ...... I asked myself what it was.
