After Xin Sheng led the navy into the palace, he went to face the saint alone, and the soldiers chatted with the guards in the palace.

"Let me tell you, there are countless spices in the South Seas, and the mountains are all over the wilderness, which is very spectacular!"

"Really?"

"Of course, that kind of spectacular scene is really not what we can imagine in Xianyang!"

Surrounded by guards, the officers and men proudly showed off.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are natives there, have you ever encountered them?"

"Haha! Of course! But I don't think those should be called natives, they should be called tyrants! ”

"Local tyrants? What does this mean? ”

"Those natives on the island look very strange, they are tanned, their hair is curled on their heads, they are wrapped in a few broken skins, and they don't have a few utensils at home, but they use egg-sized gems to smash fruits, use blood-colored coral as hangers, and use pearls as playthings, isn't this a local tyrant?"

"What? The natives of the island are so rich? ”

The words of the admiral officer really shocked those palace guards.

In Xianyang, even the richest businessman can't say that he smashes fruits with gems the size of eggs!

If there really is, then it has to be wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and hidden in the most hidden position at home, for fear of being stolen by others, how dare you take it out and show it?

Still using pearls as playthings? When the ancestors are still about the same!

A pearl the size of a fingernail is enough for a family to live for a year or two.

If it's a bigger one, you won't have to worry about it for half your life, how can you use it as a plaything?

"In fact, it's not that the natives on the island are rich, it's that they don't have any concept of money at all!"

"These guys eat wild fruits from the trees, or directly roast the prey they hunt, even the salt is naturally formed by picking up the seaside, and nothing else, give them a broken water bag, they can happily give us the gems, and finally thank us!"

"What? How stupid are they? ”

"Not really! We hired them to pick spices out of some unwanted shabby clothes, and they were so happy! ”

"They used to think that our ship was a monster, and it looked very funny to bow to it!"

……

The soldiers talked about the situation on the island for the palace guards, and the guards who listened were stunned for a moment, showing envious eyes.

At first, I thought that the navy officers and soldiers would ride the wind and waves to travel to those unknown places, but it was too dangerous, and it was not safe to be a guard in the palace, so I did not sign up.

Now their bowels are green with repentance!

Last time I went to sea with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we all made a lot of military exploits and rewards.

This trip is even more rewarding!

Although they are safe in the palace, there is no way out.

If you look back, you have to learn to swim well, and when you go to the next Navy recruitment, you will be selected!

……

In the imperial study, Xin Sheng bowed to Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, the minister has fulfilled his mission, returned safely with the naval officers and soldiers, and picked more than 300,000 catties of spices!"

"Aiqing is exempt!"

Hearing this number, Ying Zheng suddenly blossomed.

"Then Nanyang Island, it's really all spices?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed ......!"

Xin Sheng nodded, "The spices are all over the mountains, and you can't finish picking them!" ”

"Great! In the future, my Daqin will have endless spices! ”

Spices are like fruit on a tree, after picking this batch there will be the next, as long as they are not destroyed, they will never be finished.

"yes!"

Xin Sheng nodded, and reported to him in detail about some other situations on the island, as well as those natives.

Ying Zheng was in a rare good mood and listened with interest.

……

After Xin Sheng left, Zhang Han immediately ordered the people from the household department to get on the ship and load the goods.

After seeing so many spices, everyone's eyes lit up, and they put them in big cloth bags one by one, and carried them on their shoulders and left, tirelessly!

An hour later, the carriage began to turn around and enter the city in an orderly manner!

"This ...... These can't all be spices, right? ”

The news of the return of the navy, with a large amount of spices, had spread, and the people were stunned when they saw the bulging bags on the wagons.

"How much spice does this have?"

"I don't know how much, but I heard from the people watching the excitement at the dock that these haven't even finished unloading a steamer!"

"What? So many wagons, not even a single ship was unloaded? Boy! ”

After hearing the news, the shocked faces of the people were even worse.

The carriage was mighty, like a long dragon, and there was no end to see at all!

Every car is full, and there is not even a single ship?

How much spice do the admirals have to bring back?

"Such a large batch of spices has entered the treasury, and now the treasury is rich again!"

"Not really! Didn't you see Zhang Shangshu's face smiling? ”

"If the treasury is rich, the imperial court will be able to do practical things for our people!"

"Yes! I heard that after the prince pacified the Three Kingdoms last autumn, he brought back a lot of money, and just after the end of the New Year this year, the Ministry of Industry has sent people to conduct on-site surveys, and the construction of railways can begin after the survey is over! ”

"No! My backyard is a small river, which rises during the rainy season, sometimes flooding houses, and this year the government has also sent people to clean up the river to ensure that it is unblocked, and at the same time build a dam to prevent the river from swelling during the rainy season! ”

"This time, the imperial court has found so many spices, and it is a lot of money after selling them, so there will be no need to pick and search our people in the future!"

"Yes! The good days of our people are coming......! ”

The court made money, and the people were happy.

The court is rich, and the people can also borrow light!

If nothing else, the biggest benefit last autumn was the reduction in taxes!

This takes a lot of the burden off them!

Today's taxes are only a symbolic charge.

After Ying Feiyu learned that the navy had returned from Nanyang, he also went to the treasury to see!

It just so happened that the carriages had arrived one after another, and bags of spices were being loaded into the warehouse!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you came just in time, take a look, the navy has brought back so many spices this time, it is enough to have three million catties! Hahaha! ”

Zhang Han's eyes were sharp, even if there were busy workers shuttling back and forth, he still found the familiar figure at a glance and rushed towards it.

Ying Feiyu nodded, "Hmm! If it weren't for the limited ships, it is estimated that the soldiers would have picked up more! ”

Ying Zheng's old goods are so worried about money that he is only willing to buy thirty ships, so he can only bring back so many spices!

But then again, no one has ever been to Nanyang, and the old Yingzheng has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know if there are any spices.

Being able to buy thirty ships at once is already a boldness!

"Prince, come and take a look, the quality of these spices is quite good, and you can't sell them for ten gold, at least fifteen to twenty gold!"

Zhang Han led Ying Feiyu to the warehouse, opened a cloth bag happily, and said ostentatiously.

"Well, the quality is really good!"

Ying Feiyu grabbed a handful in his hand and nodded approvingly.
