Chapter 536: The Achievement of the World

Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi's surprised look.

At this time, I also realized that Fang Cai was too excited.

He fixed his mind and said, "Zhang Qing, the soldiers on the ship still can't get off the ship, let alone leave the ship to return to their hometowns, they have been adrift overseas for so long, how hard it is. Because of this, the imperial court should quickly take over the fleet so that they can land and return to their hometowns as soon as possible."

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister understands."

I have to say that Zheng He is a very stable person. He ordered people to stay on the ship, isolating the news of the dock and the soldiers on the ship, because this wealth was too great to guarantee that no one would covet it, and if he let others count it, Zheng He would obviously not be able to believe it.

The best way is to report to Zhu Di overnight, and His Majesty will send trustworthy people to quickly take over the fleet to ensure the safety of gold and silver.

And Zhu Di ordered Zhang Anshi to sit in charge, obviously out of trust in Zhang Anshi.

To put it mildly, sometimes even sons can't believe such things, especially the two debt collectors in Annam and Java.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and then said, "Qiu Qing's family."

Qiu Fu's heart has also relaxed a little at this time, the good news is that his son is still alive, and the bad news is that people are still floating thousands of miles away.

Hearing His Majesty's roll call, Qiu Fu hurriedly put away his mood and said, "The minister is here."

Zhu Di glanced at Qiu Fu deeply: "Qiu Qing's family is the deputy, let's go with Zhang Qing for inspection."

Qiu Fu immediately understood Zhu Di's thoughts, this gold and silver is related to his son, this time he came in a hurry, wanting to inquire about his son's news, but after all, he was still a little disappointed, he has been in poor health in recent years, and he has hardly served any important errands.

This time, Zhu Di also hopes that Qiu Fu can do what he can, which also shows Zhu Di's trust in his old brother.

Qiu Fu said, "The minister obeys the order."

Things were urgent, and Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu took the order and left.

And Zhu Di has also ordered the ministers to retire.

However, Zhu Di became even more anxious, and brought a large amount of gold and silver, and he didn't know how much gold and silver he had.

It's in Wenyuan Pavilion, but it's lively.

Because of this new Wenyuan Pavilion, a special study is now set up.

Of course, it is called the study, but it is a place where scholars and dormitory people occasionally come to drink tea, after all...... You can't make a lounge or a tea room or a canteen in the Wenyuan Pavilion openly.

There are many books on the bookshelves here, and of course, the decoration is more meaningful.

The large comfortable sofa is covered with specially treated cowhide.

I was free, and as soon as I sat here, the tea was at one end, and all of a sudden, the style of this scholar came out.

Whenever I sit here, I'm afraid that many scholars and scholars can't help but think, why did Emperor Taizu Gao pick so much? Anyway, he is also a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, but he has to give such a sinister environment to make people stay.

"Gold and silver?" At this time, Hu Guang's expression was a little exaggerated: "This time Gonggong Zheng is making such a big fanfare, it seems that he has gained a lot."

The other three scholars were all smiling and silent.

Hu Guang couldn't help but complain: "What? The princes like to purse their lips and be silent, as if they are officials, they have to put on such a shelf."

"Ahem...... Yang Rong coughed and said, "Hu Gong said he laughed."

Hu Guang said, "The old man doesn't ask you today, the old man asks Xie Gong today!" Gong Xie, you have gone to sea and are well-informed, tell me how much wealth this will bring?"

Xie Jin frowned, thought about it very seriously, and said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say."

Hu Guang said: "Why is it difficult to say?"

Xie Jin said: "Overseas natives, there is gold and silver, but ...... If you say rich...... Since it is far from my Ming. But Zheng Gonggong's temperament, Xie also knows that he is extremely stable, if he didn't have tens of millions of taels of silver, he wouldn't care so much."

"Ten million taels." Hu Guang gasped, and then made a slurp.

Xie Jin continued: "

There could be a little more, too. But what is the use of so much gold and silver? Now to build this railway, His Majesty spends 50 million or even 70 million taels of silver every year. Of course, with this money, it will be a good thing that His Majesty can breathe a sigh of relief after all."

Hu Guang couldn't help but say, "It's strange to say, at the beginning, the imperial court was one or two pieces of silver, and I couldn't wait to divide it into three petals. Well, now, the expenses are truly appalling."

Xie Jin said calmly: "The world has changed, and we can't use the previous thinking to ponder this."

Hu Guang raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then nodded silently.

Although this set seems to be a little incompatible with the Confucian spirit he studied, it can't stand it...... He is also a beneficiary, but he is lying on the sofa and has a fortune to make himself worry about food and clothing.

…………

Compared with the leisurely and comfortable of several scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion, the other Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu were not so comfortable.

They took more than 1,000 horses overnight and arrived at the port of Songjiangkou as quickly as possible.

Zhang Anshi is also experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and as soon as he arrived with people, he immediately blocked several docks where the fleet was located.

Immediately afterwards, he boarded the ship with Qiu Fu and went to see Zheng He.

As soon as someone came, the ship was almost thunderous with joy.

You know, for sailors, the real pain is not necessarily the wind and waves at sea.

Instead, it was clear that he had arrived on land, and as far as he could see, his homeland was in front of him, but he still had to stay on the ship obediently, and he couldn't cross the thunder pond for a single step.

Now, the imperial court's envoy has arrived, which means that they can finally go ashore.

Zheng He was wearing a scarlet cloak and a yellow Qinci fish suit, and was blown by the sea breeze, and the cloak was hunting, and he and Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu greeted each other.

Seeing Qiu Fu's worried look, Zheng He smiled and added, "Qi Guogong, congratulations."

Qiu Fu was stunned for a moment, this way, his mood was really complicated, he had actually accepted the fact that his son was mediocre, after all...... I used to think that my son was honest, but then I gradually found out that my son was not honest, but a little stupid.

is also the son of the duke, Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan, but they will not be carried away thousands of miles away by Zhang Anshi in a hurry.

Moreover, since I boarded the ship, I saw that many people were like withered weeds, and their bodies were thin and dark, and their dark complexion was covered with yellow spots caused by malnutrition.

So in his mind, he immediately thought of the image of Qiu Song starving into skin.

Qiu Fu is old, and he can't stand such stimulation, so he just feels unbearable.

Then, it's time for the delivery.

Settlement is a very complicated matter, in addition to explaining the matters to be paid attention to, there are also ...... It was Zheng He who took out the chart, and it was ...... It records the construction of this voyage, the customs and customs of various places, and the hydrological information, and of course, the people who died in the fleet, why they died, or those who were rewarded for meritorious service, and so on.

Going to the Western Ocean is not just a simple voyage for the fleet, it is of pioneering significance, and the nautical chart is the most valuable priceless treasure.

Then it was the main event, Zheng He led Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu to the bilge of the flagship.

As soon as the bilge was opened, the horse lantern shone brightly, and suddenly, the faces of Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu were reflected in golden light.

"it." Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be shocked and said, "You have robbed so much?"

was really surprised, but as soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi immediately felt speechless and quickly closed his mouth.

Qiu Fu had obviously never seen so much gold and silver, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Zheng He seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and smiled and said, "All the ships are full, and next, there will be His Royal Highness Lao and Qi Guogong, we should also get off the ship and take a rest."

Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu didn't know if they had listened to Zheng He's words, but their eyes were staring at the golden thing for a long time, and they couldn't take their eyes off for a while.

But shock to shock, Zhang Anshi is a man of action, and soon, a team of bookkeepers was invited to the ship.

There are dozens of teachers and students from the arithmetic school, as well as the account office of Qixia Commercial Bank.

When everyone saw this posture, they were all frightened, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Immediately after that, the discussion began.

After everyone's brainstorming, a doctor from the Arithmetic School stepped forward and saluted Zhang Anshi: "Your Highness, if you weigh them one by one, so much gold and silver, but you don't know how to count it to the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse. So I waited for careful deliberation and finally worked out a method that could calculate the amount of gold and silver in three to five days."

Zhang Anshi was shocked: "Three or five days?"

The wise man said, "It is enough to use Cao Chong's method of weighing and symbolizing, and after using a standard small boat, fully loaded, calculating its draft, drawing a scale, and deriving the weight of the gold and silver of this boat, then ...... Then he kept loading the silver and gold into the boats, and then according to the number of ships, he went to take the number of silver and gold in one ship. Of course, with such an algorithm, there may be two or three percent of the error."

"Two-three percent error?" Zhang Anshi muttered, he thought about it, and said, "Use this method first to get the approximate amount, and then let people slowly calculate it after the gold and silver are put into the warehouse."

"Why?"

So, everyone got busy.

That's a big job.

And Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu are idle. They are the Qincha, they are here to sit down, and they are not responsible for specific affairs.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Anthony Zhang: "......"

Qiu Fu: "......"

After half a ring, Zhang Anshi, who was shocked again, found his voice and said, "Are you sure?"

The doctor immediately nodded, "Sure, of course, errors are inevitable."

Zhang Anshi frowned, he only knew that Venice and some other commercial city-states were rich, after all, they had accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, and controlled taxes, usury, and trade throughout Europe.

But I didn't expect to be so rich.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say, "Immediately sort out the accounts, and then, you continue to stay here, and this king and the Duke of Qi will enter Beijing as soon as possible."

Zhang Anshi's voice trembled a little.

This time, I caught a big fish.

Zhang Anshi flipped through the picture with his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then couldn't help but say, "I never thought that they actually made a large sum of silver from Rome."

"Rome?" Qiu Fu couldn't help but say.

Zhang Anshi said: "Shibo, this Rome is ...... It's like our temple, do you understand?"

Qiu Fu said disappointedly: "The temple can have a few silvers."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "You look down on their temple too much, a Knights Templar at the bottom of this temple has six million pounds of income every year from real estate and donations from believers. Do you know what this concept is? This income is several times the income of the silver tax before the New Deal of the Ming Dynasty."

"And as for this Venice, its wealth is not below that of the Knights Templar, and even much more. But I still can't figure out how I can get so much real money out of a short period of time. It stands to reason that those merchants are all very shrewd, and they are all misers, how can they easily comply?"

Qiu Fu rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, let's go and see Your Majesty quickly."

Zhang Anshi did not dare to slack off, and immediately set off for Beijing.

At this time, Zhu Di was waiting for the news, and when he heard that Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu had entered Beijing, he was disappointed.

It's only been a few days, and I'm back, so fast, so ...... Maybe not a lot of money.

Zhu Di ascended to the throne in the Wenlou, and the scholars of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministries of the various ministries also came.

Zhang Anshi and Qiu Fu entered the Wenlou and first saluted in a regular manner.

The answer is about to be revealed, but Zhu Di is not in a hurry at this time, but only smiled and said, "The Qing family doesn't need to be polite."

Zhang Anshi then said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the Duke of Qi have already calculated the number, and they are here to reply to the decree."

Zhu Di bowed his head and said, "Well, how many are the numbers?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The rough estimate is 190 million taels of silver."

When these words fell, the temple suddenly seemed to stop breathing.

That's a terrible number.

So much so that many people can't help but start counting in their hearts, what kind of concept is this 190 million.

Zhang Anshi had long expected everyone's reaction, wasn't it the same when he first heard it?

At this time, he smiled and said, "Of course, it's just a rough estimate, there will be two or three out of a hundred, after all, the time is urgent, and the specific number has to wait for the storage."

Zhu Di: "......"

The ministers began to carefully observe Zhu Di's reaction.

Zhang Anshi saw that Zhu Di didn't agree, so he said again: "After a few months of hard work, I can get these gold and silver, and the minister never thought that if you really talk about it, it is thanks to Qiu Song. Qiu Song's work is crisp and neat, it is really a three-day farewell, and it is impressive."

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi saw that Zhu Di was still silent, so he simply stopped talking.

Qiu Fu was even more nervous, and he didn't dare to come out.

Zhu Di said suddenly, "One hundred and nineteen million taels?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this is a rough account, please look at it."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I don't want to look at any accounts, I only need this number."

Zhang An

Shi had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the number."

Zhu Di took a deep breath before he said, "Just go out to the sea, can you teach the world the construction of the railway for three years?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Theoretically...... It seems like it might be."

Zhu Di muttered in a low voice, "No wonder I looked at that kid Qiu Song, who looked like he was deeply hidden, but it turned out to be wise and foolish...... No wonder...... It's no wonder......

He coughed and turned his face to the side.

The ministers began to whisper, and at this time, they reacted, they couldn't care about the courtiers, and at this time, they had too much desire to express themselves, so they began to discuss in a low voice.

Zhu Di turned a deaf ear to this.

He then said, "Reward immediately, reward again." Qiu Song is the first merit, giving him a duke's domain and giving the Qiu family a domain......

Qiu Fu listened, perhaps because of the fatigue of the saddle horse for several days, or for a while, he was suddenly greatly stimulated, and all of a sudden, he was dizzy and the person was already shaky.

…………

It was so uncomfortable, I had a fever for two days, and I didn't dare to eat with a sore throat, miserable.
