Chapter 919: All eyes are on gold and silver
"Ah......?"
Ying Zheng's words startled all the ministers.
I thought everyone was silent, and this matter was over!
Unexpectedly, His Majesty was clear about them buying a ship to go to sea!
"Since no one is silent, I'm going to be named!"
Ying Zheng's face was obviously a little colder than before.
Now they belong to the toast and don't eat and drink, it's strange to be happy!
"The main road in the city has been renovated, but there are still a lot of dirt roads around the city that have not been repaired! If I wait for my name to be reported, I will give you all those roads and let you pay for them! ”
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and scanned everyone again.
Among these people, who bought the ship, or several people bought it together, he knew it all!
Do you still want to hide it and not report it? You can't do it without applying a little pressure!
"Your Majesty, the ship purchased by the ministers and others has brought back about 500,000 gold and property this time!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the ships purchased by the ministers and Liu Yushi, Wang Yushi and others will bring back 600,000 gold and property!"
"700,000 gold!"
"The minister is 800,000 gold ......!"
This trick still worked, and as soon as the words fell, the court suddenly became lively.
Everyone scrambled to raise their hands to report the number, and each one was louder than the other, for fear that His Majesty would not hear it.
Once your voice is masked, and your majesty will find it out later, it will be a real loss!
The harvest was less than expected, and if it was used to repair the road, there would be even less left!
The Black Ice Platform has already reported to His Majesty that they went to sea, and His Majesty must know it in his heart, so don't hide it.
His Majesty is not happy, and he has to come up with a lot of money to repair the road!
"Humph!"
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and snorted coldly.
These guys just don't leave, and they go backwards.
The development of Great Qin is prosperous, and in comparison, the little money given by the imperial court is no longer enough.
It's normal for ministers to make some other living, he has always opened one eye and closed one eye, almost enough!
But these guys want to hide it, so you can't blame him!
"Your Majesty, the ship returning to Xianyang this time is more than a star and a half worse than the previous harvest in Nanyang, and the old minister's family is only pulling back a carriage! In this case, I am afraid that it will affect the immigration of the state! ”
After the hall was quiet, Zhang Han took the lead in giving a report.
Yesterday, many ordinary people on the banks of the Weishui River watched, and they must have spread this scene.
He is in charge of immigration, and I am afraid it will be difficult to carry it out!
"Shouldn't it?"
However, before Ying Zheng could speak, Ying Feiyu frowned and spoke in confusion.
The temperature in Yizhou is not as high as that in the South Seas, but there should be a lot of specialties, how can it be that after looking for so long, only a carriage came back?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lao Zhang is right, a certain family has pulled two carriages back, or is it counted along with plant seeds and miscellaneous spices!"
Chun Yuyue followed closely behind and testified for Zhang Han.
"Are the people you sent out looking only at spices?"
Hearing these words, Ying Feiyu couldn't cry or laugh.
"......What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"
Chun Yuyue tilted his head, a little puzzled.
"There are all kinds of scarce spices in Nanyang, if you want to find spices, why don't you travel thousands of miles to Israel......
Ying Feiyu was about to be defeated by these people, "As long as there are things on the island that our Great Qin does not have, and at the same time, they can be used in life, they can all be brought back and sold for money, and there is no need to only look for spices and gems!" ”
There are not many native plants in Daqin, and he is counting on these guys to go to Yizhou to bring back some rare things, put them in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to cultivate, and plant them widely in Daqin!
Unexpectedly, these guys only stared at those known valuable things, but ignored the others!
"My crew brought back a lot of plant seeds, but I don't know what they are, whether they are useful or not, so they are not included in the income!"
"Yes, yes, they are all going to Israel for the first time, they don't know what is valuable and what is not valuable, and most of their eyes are on gold, silver and jewelry!"
The two ministers grimaced and spoke one after another.
Before the crew left, they also confessed, and brought back anything valuable.
I didn't expect to bring back such a little thing in the end!
"If nothing else, after the ship arrives in Israel, it should be the coffee beans picking period, so won't anyone pick some back?"
"Coffee beans?"
For this new word, the ministers looked at each other and expressed puzzlement.
Ying Feiyu also reacted immediately.
At this time, Daqin didn't have such a thing, even if he called out his name, they didn't know what it was!
"It's a small fruit with a red skin, and after removing the skin and flesh, it can be dried and ground to make a very delicious drink!"
"At the same time, coffee contains cafeine, which can refresh the mind, prevent cardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prevent Alzheimer's! To a certain extent, it can also protect the liver, and even reduce the risk of cancer! ”
Ying Feiyu briefly described the appearance and function of coffee beans for everyone.
Of course, we're talking about pure coffee, not the tech-savvy drinks of later generations!
"Fei Yu, what are you talking about this anti-inflammatory? Preventing Alzheimer's disease? What are they? ”
Those words just now sounded quite bluffing, but they seemed to have a very powerful effect.
But after careful analysis by Yingzheng, he also understood that it was a drink that could refresh his mind.
As for the other words, he doesn't understand any of them!
Looking at the ministers again, they all blinked their eyes, and their curious eyes fell on Ying Feiyu!
"Those are common diseases! All in all, drinks made from coffee beans are good for the body, just like the tea leaves we have in Daqin! ”
When Ying Feiyu crossed, the system gave him a few fine tea trees, which he planted behind the house.
When he went to Xianyang with Yingzheng, he brought him back.
Since then, tea has gradually become popular.
The common people also discovered the benefits of drinking tea, and different kinds of tea trees were also found in Daqin and began to be widely planted!
"I see!"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"But we don't seem to find any red beans!"
The ministers tried to recall that the seeds brought back by the crew would contain the kind of coffee beans that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I can't remember that there are seeds in the shape of red beans!
"Yizhou and Xianyang are thousands of miles apart, I'm afraid it has changed color now, it's better to go back to the time when the prince is free, go find it yourself!"
Coffee beans should be red when they are ripe, but if you bring them back so far, you will probably have to change color long ago.
Let them go and find it, it is better for him to go out and see what other seeds are available by the way!
"Then thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"
Everyone gave up.
As long as you find coffee beans, next time you send a boat to Israel, you can pick more and sell them for money, which can be regarded as an additional way to make money!
