As Qin Hao's words fell, the political hall became chaotic in an instant, it was obvious that before this, the prime ministers knew and didn't know, and Zhang Chun naturally belonged to the side that didn't know.

"Pei Xingjian? You seem to have the impression that you didn't send him to find some new world? He took away all the most elite forces of our Datang in one fell swoop, and the naval battles between our Datang and Dashi in the past two years have not been so smooth. ”

Qin Hao smiled: "Yes, it was Pei Xingjian who came back, and this harvest must be imagined, hahaha!" Everyone, this is our Datang real hero, we will be back in a few days, let's discuss and discuss the victory of the hero, hahahaha. ”

Qin Hao, he is really happy! He had waited for this day for too long.

Corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, purple potatoes, cassava, peppers, tomatoes, peanuts, pumpkins, pineapples, etc., etc., he has been hungry for too long, and what he is looking forward to the most is that finally his mother has a cigarette!

As a heavy old smoker, he hadn't touched this thing in more than 20 years, how could he stand it?

Those prime ministers who didn't know about this matter naturally hurriedly flipped through the draft edict in front of them, and they heard it clearly.

Pei Xingjian's fleet returned to Luoyang the day before yesterday and went ashore, because the canal in Chang'an was only an artificial river after all, so there was no condition for him to go all the way up the river.

This Pei Xingjian is also knowledgeable, first sent a fast horse 800 miles to send the news over, and he himself followed closely with a small amount of supplies, and the large army walked slowly with a large number of supplies, or turned to a small boat to send it up along the canal.

After more than two years of sacrificing life and forgetting death, drifting on the vast sea, many people died on the road, although their preparation was far more adequate than that of Columbus, and even Pei Xingjian had a super sketch drawn by Qin Hao, but after all, this road was too far, and there was no lucky aura like Columbus, so the process was still very tortuous and bumpy.

What's more important, of course, is the loot he brought back this time, in fact, if you simply look at the time consumption on the road, you can almost run back and forth in a year, but Pei Xingjian is Pei Xingjian after all, far from being comparable to Columbus's lucky guys, and the first article of the debriefing is startling: kill the enemy, two million.

Except for Qin Hao, everyone's first reaction was disbelief, but Qin Hao knew that those so-called Indians didn't use iron weapons to fight, where was Pei Xingjian's opponent, after all, this was one of the four gods of war in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that it was also equipped with a gun, and he even felt that this number was a bit too little.

Datang is not like Spain, the actual national strength of a small country is limited after all, so the early stage is mainly trade, this time, Pei Xingjian alone has nearly 20,000 soldiers who have landed on the American continent, facing the natives who have no organization and discipline and fight with stones, and the language is not yet understood, who will tell you to be civilized and polite, directly kill and pull down, and trade with you when you are full?

Then, the Indians were tragic, the Peruvian silver mines and the Brazilian gold mines were found by him, and the gold and silver stolen back were innumerable, almost comparable to the treasury reserves of the Tang Dynasty, and they were almost inexhaustible.

But to be honest, Qin Hao is not particularly interested in these gold and silver and the like, because now Datang has entered the stage of credit currency, and the actual use of these things is not particularly large except for pressing the treasury and causing inflation in the market, but these other prime ministers obviously don't understand the reason, and they are stung by the unimaginably huge gold data.

Qin Hao naturally asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "Zhao Guogong, Pei Xingjian has made such a great achievement, what do you mean, how should you treat it?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to greet him with a triumphant ceremony, but now the saint is inconvenient and can't go out of the city to greet him in person, in my opinion, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go out of the city on his behalf?" What do you think? ”

"This ......... That's what I'm asking, I don't quite understand the doorway,"

Qin Hao said: "The major affairs of the country, in Rong is worshiping, the general is triumphant, it is a great gift of the country, the saint is in poor health, I also agree with the prince to go out of the city on his behalf, otherwise, I am afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers." ”

Since the eldest grandson Wuji and Qin Hao both said so, Zhang Chun had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, after a while, I will go to discuss with the sage, this... Try to let the saint go, after all, the prince is still too young. ”

Although Zhang Chun is politically minded, he is not a fool, since this matter is so big, it will inevitably be in the spotlight at that time, if the saint does not appear, it will inevitably fall in prestige, the prince is only twelve years old this year, and he can't hold up the façade at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Zhenheng, Pei Xingjian has made such a great contribution this time, according to your opinion, how to reward it?" It is said that with his qualifications and ability, if he enters Beijing as an official, no matter which yamen he is arranged, a governor is indispensable. ”

Qin Hao shook his head and said: "Although he is a Confucian student, but after so many years in the office, most of what he does is still martial arts, and the errand of Zhongshu Province is not suitable for him, besides, he has been in charge of the water master for so many years, and he can't do without him, in my opinion, let him continue to be the governor of the water division, then since the American continent is so rich, the imperial court will inevitably operate it with heart in the future, and build a metropolitan protectorate there, Zhao Guogong thinks, let him be a deputy capital protector, how about it?" ”

Zhang Chun lowered his head, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and it was a positive third grade, these two prime ministers had completely regarded the court as their own.

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed when he heard this, he naturally wished to be like this, what he said just now was actually a temptation, although this Pei Xingjian's surname is Pei and he was born in a Guanzhong family, he is a hardcore Qin party, and he was a purple-robed prince before he made this great achievement, once he returned to Beijing, Qin Hao must be like a tiger, and he has no good way to suppress him.

This is naturally the best, Qin Hao has no intention of transferring Pei Xingjian back to the Jingshi, the balance of power between him and Qin Hao will naturally not be broken, it is nothing more than letting Qin Hao have one more local power, anyway, the four major protectors all listen to Qin Hao's words, and he doesn't mind letting him have one more, there doesn't seem to be much difference between four and five.

In particular, once Pei Xingjian accepted the appointment of the protector, it was basically impossible to return to Beijing, this was Qin Hao's biggest trump card and right-hand man, but he had been on guard, but he let him abolish himself.

However, the key to what Qin Hao wanted to do was never in Chang'an.
