Time flies, the New Year is out in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

Factories opened, shops resumed business, and people gradually came out of the joyful atmosphere of the New Year and began to work normally!

After the ice and snow melted, Xin Sheng just returned with the navy, and thirty steamships sailed into Weishui!

The news came to Xianyang in advance, so Hubu Shangshu Zhang Han had already prepared a carriage and went from the palace to Weishui.

With the experience of the last time, this time there were twice as many carriages as the last one.

One after another, like a long dragon, shuttled from Xianyang City!

"What happened? Why are there so many carriages all of a sudden? ”

The people automatically gave way to a passage, their faces full of doubt.

"I don't know?"

The people around him were also confused.

Although it has already started spring, the cold of spring is worse than the cold wind in winter, if there is nothing to do, they will not go out easily, so the news is very closed!

In the end, it was the vendor behind them who answered his questions, "Hey! You don't even know that, do you? This is the navy has returned, and I heard that it has brought back a lot of spices, and these carriages are all sent by the Ministry of Household to pull spices! ”

"Spices? I heard that the meat stewed with that thing is not only not fishy, but also has a strange fragrance! ”

After hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding people suddenly lit up, but then it dimmed again, "Alas! That thing is very expensive, and even if it is good, we can't afford it! ”

"Yes! I heard that the worst thing sells for ten gold per catty, how much money do we make a month! ”

"No! That's enough money to buy a lot of meat to eat! Put some salt, boil in water, and it will be very fragrant! ”

"Hey! Poor people like us can only eat boiled white meat, and the spices are all eaten by noble and rich families......! ”

Although the people were very eager for spices, they gave up the idea when they thought of the little money in their pockets!

Now it's much easier to make money than before, and you can eat meat regularly.

But I don't have the spare money to buy spices!

"General Xin, it's been hard all the way, haha!"

When Xin Sheng led the navy to the shore, Zhang Han hurriedly ran to the ship and exchanged pleasantries.

But his gaze didn't fall on Xin Sheng, but kept scanning the boat, especially in the cabin!

"Zhang Shangshu, is this a greeting to General Ben's hard work, or is he greeting those spices?"

Xin Sheng was not blind, so he naturally saw through his mind at a glance and said with a joking smile.

This guy has a nickname among their ministers, called Zhang Picking.

Deservedly, this guy is an old picker!

When you see money, you want to make it, but let him spend a penny, it's more difficult than making him eat!

His Majesty asked him to be the head of the household, but he really chose the right person!

Even if these spices belong to the treasury, Zhang Han's eyes are wide-eyed!

"Haha! General Xin laughed, of course he was greeting the general! ”

After being ridiculed, Zhang Han quickly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "For the sake of Daqin, the general took the naval officers and soldiers out for several months, and he didn't spend years at home, I don't know...... How much spice did you bring back this time? ”

In less than two and a half sentences, Zhang Han talked about the spices again, with green light in his eyes!

A few days ago, the soldiers reported that the navy had entered Nanhai County and arrived in Xianyang in a few days, and brought back spices!

This can make him and Ying Zhengle bad, even dreaming at night is a spice, and finally looking forward to the navy back!

I don't know how much I brought back!

"I don't know the specifics, I guess each ship should have a hundred thousand catties, right?"

Xin Sheng glanced into the cabin and said lightly.

"Ten...... 100,000 catties? Also every ship? ”

Zhang Han's jaw dropped suddenly, and he asked suspiciously, "General Xin, you're not joking with me, are you?" ”

The current price of spices is 10 gold, if there are 100,000 catties on every ship, then wouldn't a ship be sold for 1 million gold?

Thirty ships is thirty million?

Good guy, go out, a railroad is out!

"Do you think so-and-so is joking with you? Since the soldiers arrived in Nanyang, they have been picking spices all the time, and more than two months have passed, how many ...... do you say? ”

Xin Sheng rolled his eyes, "Don't talk about eating it now, the soldiers want to vomit when they see the spices!" ”

Several soldiers behind him nodded repeatedly.

When they first arrived on the island, they were still a little fresh, and they were full of enthusiasm when they saw the spices all over the mountains.

But in just a few days, everyone has lost interest, and picking spices is not as energetic as before!

So he began to hire the natives, gave them some worthless things, and finally filled all these ships before returning home!

By the time they left, there were still a lot of spices left on the island!

But there is no way, there are only so many ships, and every cabin is already stuffed, and there is no spare space!

"Quick...... Take me to see it! ”

The 100,000 gold spices in the cabin, in Zhang Han's eyes, were 1 million gold.

There is a million gold beckoning to him, it is strange that he is not in a hurry!

"Good!"

Xin Sheng nodded and led Zhang Han to the cabin.

"...... Uproar"

After opening the hatch, the spices suddenly gushed out and piled up under Zhang Han's feet.

"Wow! I really didn't expect that there are really so many spice ...... in Nanyang! ”

Zhang Han picked up a handful, put it under his nose and sniffed, "With such a good quality, the retail is at least fifteen gold!" ”

"These spices still have a lot of moisture, and they still need to be dried before they can be sold, and it is estimated that they will lose some weight!"

Xin Sheng said.

"It doesn't matter, if such a quality is on the market, it will definitely be frantically snapped up by those noble and wealthy families, and the price will not be too low, even if it drops some weight, the price of a ship will not be less than one million gold!"

Zhang Han grinned and waved his hand and said.

"Every cabin here is so full of spices?"

"Hmmm! Even the soldiers slept in the cabin of the ship, where a lot of them were placed! If you want more, you can only let the soldiers hug you! ”

Looking at the old man's philistine expression, Xin Sheng laughed helplessly.

"Haha! No, no, enough is enough! ”

Zhang Han grabbed the door frame of the cabin and looked inside.

It's dark, it's all spices!

Not to mention, this one cabin alone will have to load several wagons back!

If he had known that, he should have found some more carriages!

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, lead the navy to get off the ship and enter the palace to resume his life!"

Xin Sheng's big hand patted Zhang Han's shoulder and smiled a little tiredly.

The ship has been drifting at sea for so long, shaking, and everyone has not rested well.

Now that I'm finally on the shore, I can get a good night's sleep!

"Okay! Go, go, go! Go ahead, Your Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Study! ”

After Zhang Han waved his hand casually, he immediately turned his head around, staring at the various spices with bright eyes.
