Five days later, after a year and eight months, the fleet finally returned to the port of Quanzhou.

The arrival of the huge fleet did not cause much sensation, but only blocked Quanzhou Bay for a day, causing a lot of trouble.

More than 100 seagoing ships docked at Xiutu Port, Hanjiang Port, and Shihu Port, leaving 10 Xuanwei troops on each ship, and the rest of the Xuanwei troops and reserve troops all went ashore and were on guard at the ports. The recruited craftsmen, helmsmen, sailors, langzhong, and Taoists were disbanded on the spot after settling their remuneration. The entire fleet was left with only the Xuanwei Army and the reserve army, as well as a few outsiders.

The three ports were closed for three days, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, and no one in the harbor was allowed to go out.

In three days, the warehouse facilities in the port, which had been built two years ago, were cleaned and renovated.

Three days later, the Xuanwei army, led by Zhao An, left the port of Quanzhou by warship and returned to the Xuanwei army camp in Changguo County. The patrol and security work of Quanzhou Port is all in charge of the reserve army, including the upcoming loading and unloading of goods.

According to the request of Lord Huang before leaving, after the fleet arrived in Quanzhou, it was not allowed to trade with the outside world for the time being, and after the five seagoing ships returned to Lin'an first, and the first batch of goods were sent to the palace, they began to sell goods to the outside world.

The captain Huang of the fleet returning to Lin'an designated Yang Congyi to escort him personally, and he must rush back to Lin'an as soon as possible.

The fleet rested for three days, and everyone was busy in the port, and Yang Congyi was no exception. In the past three days, he did not take a step out of the port, although he really wanted to go back to Quanzhou City to see Qingchen, but in the end he held back, and waited to see him when he came back from Lin'an, it would not be bad for one or two days.

Zhao An took the first step with the warship, followed by five sea ships full of goods.

On the shore, Tang Xun came to see him off and deliver the materials, she handed an account book to Yang Congyi: "Brother Yang, this is the account details of this batch of goods, in addition to spices and medicinal materials, there are also a batch of jewelry and jade, 600,000 gold coins, and 3 million silver coins. ”

Yang Congyi took the account book and looked through it, and sure enough, what was recorded on the first page was the number of boxes of gold coins and the number of gold coins in each box, followed by the loading details of silver coins and various spices and various precious medicinal materials. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and got on the boat.

"Brother Yang is good to go, I'll be there later." Tang Xun waved his hand and smiled.

"Set sail!"

After getting on the boat, Yang Congyi gave an order, the sergeant put away the bridge and anchor, the oars rowed, and the ship went offshore.

Soon after, the five ships turned around and hoisted their sails and quickly left Quanzhou Bay.

After seeing the ship leave, Tang Xun turned around and returned to the camp.

Next, you only need to wait for a few days, and when Yang Congyi arrives in Lin'an, Quanzhou can start selling Tianzhu and Western Regions goods.

Most of the gold, silver and jewelry stored on the main ship of Shenzhou have been sent away, and this batch of gold and silver alone has completed the errand of earning ten times the profit with the original capital of 3 million yuan.

The gold and silver of the Great Song Dynasty at this time were very valuable, whether it was official or on the black market, one tael of gold could be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, and one tael of silver could be exchanged for two copper coins, that is to say, one tael of gold could be exchanged for about forty copper coins.

The reason for this is that it has a great relationship with the Jingkang Rebellion, when Bianjing was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and half of the gold, silver, jewelry and wealth of the entire country were stored in that city.

After that, the entire Great Song Dynasty gold and silver were scarce, and the limited gold and silver were held in the hands of the people who held the gold and silver as treasures, so that there was not much gold and silver in circulation, and the value of gold and silver naturally began to double.

The gold and silver shipped back to Lin'an were the savings of several generations of the Seljuk Kingdom, and if they had not been able to exchange the equivalent goods for silk, tea and porcelain, they would not have taken out the gold and silver they had accumulated.

There is not much gold and silver left in the whole fleet, and these real gold and silver, which are clearly untouchable, have to be sent to the treasury one by one. As for the goods that have not yet been exchanged for money, there are too many types and quantities, and the value is difficult to estimate, and after the sale, I don't know how much money I can make.

I don't know how much the remaining 100 ships can be sold for.

Tang Xun has become numb to these figures, and it is only a few million, tens of millions, but unfortunately it is all the money of the imperial court.

Her own seven cargoes, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to do it. Originally, she planned to transport them to Lin'an together, but considering that once she arrived in Lin'an, the business of the fleet would definitely not be managed by her anymore, and at that time, her seven ships would be completely mixed into the imperial court's fleet, and she might cause some trouble.

But what gave her a headache was that she wouldn't stay long in Quanzhou, and after selling a batch of goods, she had to lead the fleet to Lin'an. Even if she sold her goods in Quanzhou first, it would be even more inconvenient to carry the money with the fleet.

In the camp, a guard suddenly came to report, saying that someone outside the camp claimed to be the brother of Master Tang, and he was noisy at the door and refused to leave.

Brothers? The family members are all in Nanjianzhou, and it is four or five days away from Quanzhou, how could they get the news so quickly? But since some people say that it is her brother, it is better to go and see, maybe there are cousins who are doing business in Quanzhou, and if you don't go to see them, you will have to be said by them again to say some disgusting cool things.

Tang Xun tidied up his clothes and went out of the camp with the guards.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw a young man entangled with the guards guarding the camp, only to hear him shout: "How many times have I told you, Master Tang is my brother, I came all the way here, you dare to let me bask in the sun here, if you sunburn me, my brother will definitely not be able to bypass you!" Let me in! ”

"Your Excellency has an order, no one is allowed to enter without permission, and if you entangle it any more, we will not be welcome." The guard stretched out his hand to block the young man's way.

Tang Xun saw that the young man was a little familiar, but he didn't know him, so he coughed dryly and walked out of the camp gate.

The young man looked up, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and then he shouted excitedly: "Fourth brother? ”

Tang Xun was taken aback, took a closer look, and suddenly smiled: "Liulang? What are you doing here? He stepped forward and grabbed the young man's arm.

The young man grabbed Tang Xun's hand and said happily: "Fourth brother, you are really back, I heard in the city yesterday that a fleet came back from overseas, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be you!" ”

Tang Xun asked, "Liulang, why are you here?" Aren't you supposed to be in your hometown? ”

The young man is none other than Tang Liuniang. I only heard her say: "It's a long story, I'll tell you later." After looking Tang Xun up and down for a while, he asked in surprise: "Fourth brother, are you so tanned?" ”

"Ah, I'm black?" When Tang Xun heard this, he was taken aback and couldn't help but scream. Immediately, he realized that he had just lost his temper, so he quickly coughed dryly and said, "Man, black is black, what is this." I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you've changed a lot, go, go in and say. After speaking, he picked up Tang Liuniang and walked into the camp gate.

The guards of the camp saw that the person who came was indeed an adult brother, and retreated to the side in embarrassment.

Tang Xun walked to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "You guys are doing a good job, don't let outsiders in without permission." ”

"Yes." The eight guards replied in unison.

Tang Xun took Tang Liuniang into the barracks, and by the way, he supported the guards who were guarding not far away.

As soon as she entered the door, Tang Liuniang chuckled with envy and admiration: "Fourth sister, you are so majestic now." ”

"Be quiet." Tang Xun's face was in a hurry, and he hurriedly stopped.

After listening carefully, no one outside approached, so I was a little relieved, but I couldn't help but point to her forehead and complained: "How old are you, and you are reckless." ”

"People are so happy. Fourth sister, why have you been out for so long, what is the fun outside, tell me quickly. Tang Liuniang hurriedly pulled her to sit down.

"There's been so much going on in the past year, it's a long story, I'll talk to you about it another day. It's you, what are you doing dressed up like this, haven't you found your in-laws at home for two years? Tang Xun took a closer look at Tang Liuniang's appearance, it seemed that she had not yet married, and was puzzled. She is a woman, she was sixteen years old two years ago, and she should have married at that time, how could she not get married until now?

"Sister, you counted me down when we first met, I just couldn't stay at home before I came out to relax, and you came to provoke me again." Tang Liuniang looked aggrieved.

"Am I counting you? I haven't seen you for two years, you don't have a brain just for meat. Looking at Tang Liuniang's male outfit, Tang Xun became angry inexplicably.

"Sister, why do you speak so ugly, I'll leave like this again." Tang Liuniang was about to get up as she spoke.

Tang Xun suddenly realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly reached out to hold her, and said with a smile: "I'm also worried about you, it's eighteen or nineteen, if you don't marry someone else, who will marry you as an old girl." Tell me, how did you happen to be in Quanzhou? ”

Tang Liuniang sat firmly, still aggrieved: "I don't want to get married, my father and mother still have a few sisters, they talk about me every day, in the morning, at noon, and at night, from the first day of junior high school to thirty, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, you say I'm not annoying." When I can't stand it, I will secretly come to Quanzhou to see if you are back. I didn't expect you to actually come back. ”

"You are a girl, who came to Quanzhou secretly from afar? Are you alone? Tang Xun was suddenly not calm again.

"If it's not me, who else can there be? My girl is so stupid, she always delays things, as long as she tells her that I want to come out, before she is ready, she will definitely be known by her parents. So I had to come out alone. Tang Liuniang was very proud.

"How many days have you been in Quanzhou? Where to stay? Has anyone bullied you? Tang Xun asked three times in a row, it was very inconvenient and unsafe to be alone, she knew it. are all eighteen or nineteen-year-olds, and it is not worry-free, the more I think about it, the more angry I become.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been here in Quanzhou, I met a sister here, strong in martial arts, good to me, who dares to bully me." Tang Liuniang was triumphant.

"What sister? You're so kind, don't be deceived. Tang Xun's expression softened, it turned out that someone he knew was here.

"Why, my sister and I have known each other for almost two years, and every time I come to Quanzhou, I will go to live with her for a few days, which is very quiet. But you, after leaving Quanzhou, there is no news at all, will you not leave when you come back this time? ”

"Maybe, it's not too clear, and I'll know when I return to Lin'an." Tang Xun's face darkened, he really didn't know what the imperial court would order.

"Sister, tell me about going to sea."

"Well, if you want to say that this time you go to sea, it's really a life ...... death."
