Chapter 918: Be content

"Your ship came back yesterday, right? How much wealth do you bring back? Can you count it? ”

"Oops! Not to mention, I brought more than 500,000 gold in total! How's it going over there? ”

"I'm almost the same here, I can have a total of more than 600,000 gold gems, plus some unknown plants, and I don't know if I can sell them for money!"

"Alas! That's pretty much the same for everyone! After deducting labor and the like, there is not much ...... left! ”

The next morning, before Yingzheng arrived, the ministers gathered together to discuss the port call of the Yizhou steamer yesterday.

There was obvious disappointment in the big guy's expression.

"I thought that Israel could have rich treasures like Nanyang, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"You are content, if you do other business, even if you have half a year, you won't be able to earn these three or four hundred thousand gold!"

Among the complaining ministers, there were also a few optimistic persuasions.

"Although we invested money, we didn't contribute, is it still less money to earn? Even if you don't get back to your capital, you can get 50,000 or 60,000 gold every month, which is incomparable to other businesses! ”

"Uh...... That's right, we don't have the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to turn stones into gold, and it's really good to send a few people out to earn this money! ”

"Hmmm! If we return to the capital once, it is estimated that there will be more people in Israel next time, and we will not be able to grab anything! ”

"Yes, our people have been there once, they already have experience, and when they go back to Israel next time, they will know how to find valuable objects, and the wealth they bring back should not be less than this time......

After a little bit of plucking by the optimistic ministers, the others suddenly came to their senses.

Buying a ship and going to sea, this is already a wealthy industry.

It's just that Nanyang earned too much money before, and after this comparison, there is a gap in my heart!

can be calculated carefully, you can earn 50,000 or 60,000 gold a month, which is much more than other transactions!

"It's true to make money, but we have invested a lot!"

At the thought of the money to buy the ship, several ministers bared their teeth in distress.

"Humph! If there is no investment, can there be such a high return? Setting up a stall on the street is less investment, how much money can you make a month? ”

That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that there is no free lunch in the world, and if you want a big return, you must invest a lot of money! ”

"That's right! Look at the electricity and railways, just the first one, tens of millions of dollars were invested, and then all the money earned was invested, and the construction continued, and there was no profit until now! In contrast, let's calculate, after a few more trips, the capital of the ship will come back, and the net profit will be made again! ”

"Not really! Even if you don't do it in the future, it will be money to sell the ship! ”

"Yes, yes......!"

The ministers got together and analyzed, but in fact, it was not a loss.

Even if you do other businesses, you have to invest capital, and you can't make so much money!

When the crew returned, they also said that the island was so big that they had only turned a small part of it, and they had to come back after eating all the food they had brought with them.

There are still valuable things in other places!

"Lao Meng, how is your family's harvest this time?"

Like other ministers, the old merchants got together and chatted about the income of their ships.

Their ship was the first to arrive in Israel, and there were no big casualties, and the profit was the highest of all ships!

"I carefully counted with the housekeeper at home last night, and there was about 800,000 gold!"

Meng Yi didn't hide it, and directly reported a number.

"Yo! That's not bad! It's about the same as my family! ”

Hearing this, Kang Anping grinned.

The number of those gems is not much, but the color is excellent, it is rare in Daqin, and the selling price is definitely not low!

"I also counted it last night, and I had about 700,000 gold!"

"My family is not very good, so it's only more than 600,000 gold!"

"So-and-so is almost ......!"

Several other people also spoke one after another, and then their eyes fell on Wang Ben.

They had all reported their income, but this old guy always hugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

"Lao Wang, how is the situation on your side?"

After hearing about their income, Wang Ben originally didn't plan to speak.

It's like showing off.

But since he asked the head, he had to say two perfunctory sentences, "It's all the same, hehe, almost!" ”

"You can pull it down, look at your wicked smile, it must be more than six or seven hundred thousand gold!"

"Yes, I heard from my nephew that many of the soldiers who went to Israel to support were your subordinates! They are cleaning in front, and your crew is looking for valuable things not far away, and they have been looking for more than half a month more than the people on our ship, how can the final result be similar to ours? ”

"I don't believe ......!"

However, the old goods pouted one after another, and none of them believed it.

"Honestly, how much did you earn?"

Several other people stared at him with burning eyes, and they had a posture of not telling the truth and not giving up.

"Oops! Why don't you believe? It's really pretty much the same! ”

"How much?"

The old guys are still chasing after them.

In desperation, Wang Ben had no choice but to tell the truth, "It's just more than 900,000 gold!" ”

"More than 900,000 gold?"

The old guys suddenly stared at him in amazement.

Among the dozens of ships that went to Israel this time, it is estimated that their Wang family has earned the most!

"Humph! Lao Wang, I know that you old man is playing tricks on us, and more than 900,000 gold is still about the same? There is an interval of three or four hundred thousand gold! ”

Hearing the exact number, the other veterans immediately pouted, and their words were sour.

"That's right! You don't have a million gold, do you? I won't be able to do it either! ”

Wang Ben was strong and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

The old ones pouted and immediately returned to their positions, not wanting to deal with him.

This is obviously in Versailles!

"Huh? Why are you all gone? ”

"You asked, I can't say it! Now that you're all pouting and leaving, what the hell do you mean? ”

Wang Ben also kept rolling his eyes at a few people.

Obviously, they asked first, and they couldn't tell the truth themselves!

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......!"

The ministers were almost talking, and Yingzheng also walked in slowly with a big belly.

"Your Majesty's ......!"

Everyone bowed their hands one after another and gave a slight salute.

"Hmm!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned for them to be excused.

"I heard that yesterday the ships of Israel and Zhou docked in the port one after another, and many of them were your Aiqing's, I don't know what the harvest is?"

Yesterday, the biggest news in Xianyang City was that the ship docked at the port, and after the Black Ice Platform learned about it, it was reported as soon as possible.

Including the sight of the ministers driving empty carriages and returning home disappointed!

"Uh...... This......? ”

Hearing this, none of the ministers dared to speak up.

Great Qin did not explicitly stipulate that ministers were not allowed to do business, but as ministers of the DPRK and China, it was somewhat inappropriate for them to buy ships to go to sea and compete with the people for profit!

"You don't have to hide it, when your ship went to sea, the Black Ice Platform had already reported it!"

glanced around, and saw that all the ministers were silent, Ying Zhenghu said in a deep voice with a face.
