Chapter 649: Ascending to the Heavenly Son Hall
"This ...... This...... Gold, Gold, Gold......"
The bright golden sand spread on the ground, and the crowd suddenly heard a gasp.
Yang Shiqi was also stunned, he never thought that such a valuable golden sand would be so casually packed in a broken sack...... He originally thought that the sack was not a crop, but a fruit from Fengmingzhou. How could you have imagined that it was a big bag of golden sand?
What made everyone on the wharf even more surprised was that with a gust of sea breeze, a pile of golden sand on the ground was actually lifted by the wind and floated into the sea.
"Ahh
"Hurry, hurry, why don't you cover the ...... quickly"
"This, it's all gold!"
The emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuchs were in a hurry, and I don't know how many people stretched their necks and shouted, calling and scolding the soldier who accidentally scattered the golden sand. The soldier was not in a hurry, and only protected a small part of the golden sands. The other golden lights that flew into the sea made many people's hearts ache so much that they couldn't breathe.
"The fifth child of the Shi family, you have been with me for five years, why are you still soft when you land on the shore! His Royal Highness the King of Teach Zhou to see the joke. Zhang He said, although it was a reprimand, but his tone was more like a casual smile and scolding.
"Master Hou, it's a little careless...... How many catties are missing in this bag of sands, just deduct it from the villain's private pocket! Na Shi Lao Wu replied, although he was admitting his mistake, he felt more that he had lost the face of his own marquis, but he did not panic about the half bag of valuable golden sand.
Someone who listens to this conversation has already gasped...... Hey, this mere pawn dares to say that he can bear the loss of this half bag of sandsand? How rich is this pawn?
And this endless stream of boxes and sacks...... Could it be that all the gold is pretended? The newspapers say that the New World is rich in products, but is it this kind of "abundance"?
Just dig it up, it's all gold?
Some people's minds can't help but come alive.
Zhu Su peeked at Tie Xuan, only to see that Tie Xuan's face remained unchanged, but he nodded at a very fast speed. Knowing that this "fake fall" was arranged by Tie Xuan and Zhang He, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
No matter how much the newspaper blows, it is better to see it with your own eyes. Half a bag of golden sand, which was swept into the sea by the wind, was enough to make some people want to be interested in maritime affairs.
This disciple of his own seems to be honest, but in fact, there are a lot of these small means.
Also, otherwise, in another time and space, there would be no such unprecedented wonder as using the old Zhu tablet to defend the city......
After causing several sensations at the dock, Tie Xuan and Zhang He finally followed Zhu Su and Yang Shiqi and stepped on the way to the imperial city. Along the way, gongs and drums were beaten, and the soldiers opened the way, which really attracted the attention of a large number of onlookers. When they came to the imperial city, the city was even more open, and the Tianzi Wei and the palace attendants greeted them in person, the scene was extremely solemn, even Tie Xuan and Zhang He saw this pomp, they couldn't help but have some blood surging, and even the posture of the road couldn't help but be more straight, and they stepped into the Fengtian Palace.
In the palace, Lao Zhu, the prince, the grandson, and the hundred officials are all here, just like a big court meeting. Tie Xuan and Zhang He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Chen Tie Xuan (Zhang He), live up to the mission, and return for me to find the location of the new continent in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Okay, good, it's a good minister of our Ming Dynasty, and the hero of our Han people is back!" Lao Zhu has now added a few strands of gray hair to his forehead, but his spirit is becoming more and more vigorous, and the tiger whiskers under his jaw are still like steel needles, but his face is much kinder than in previous years. It was just a word of appreciation from the emperor, Zhang He and Tie Xuan had been rewarded as if their previous hardships and hardships had been rewarded, and the two men who had never frowned when they encountered no matter how much wind and waves they encountered, had tears in their eyes wet in an instant. Tie Xuan was even more frightened: "Your Majesty, your ...... Minister...... I can't afford to be rewarded like this......"
"Your Majesty, what Lord Tie said is very true...... However, he only went to sea, one did not confront the enemy, and the other was to contribute to the people. The word 'hero' is really a bit ......," said a royal historian named Dai Deyi.
"Isn't it possible to expand the territory?" Yang Shiqi of the Maritime Safety Bureau immediately came out of the ranks, and Dai Tiexuan competed with Na Yushi.
"Expanding the territory is meritorious." The imperial history was not in a hurry, and he still looked relaxed. "It's just that Fengmingzhou is too far away, and there are thousands of miles away from my Huaxia...... This is chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, although there is a small work, but it is far more than that. ”
"Oh, those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. Although Fengmingzhou is far away, it is also within reach of boats. If you don't take it at this time, will you wait for all the people to take it, let them rely on this treasure to give it out, and leave us and my children and grandchildren to fail? Yang Shiqi sneered.
These two people represent the two factions of the DPRK and China on maritime affairs today. One is the maritime faction represented by Yang Shiqi, who believes that we should vigorously develop maritime affairs and expand overseas territories. The other faction is dominated by some more conservative imperial historians, who believe that things have priorities, even if they are expanding their territory, they should first focus on the surrounding provinces, Fengmingzhou is far overseas, so they don't have to be so tight first.
"Why not?" Lao Zhu couldn't bear to listen to the arguments between the two sides, and for a while, the emperor was arrogant and overflowing the palace. Yang Shiqi and Dai Deyi hurriedly bowed down, not daring to say anything more. Lao Zhu shook his dragon robe and said to Tie Xuan: "They say that Feng Mingzhou is a chicken rib, but we believe that you will not let us down!" ”
"I heard you brought us a lot of local products? This is presented to open the eyes of us and the officials of this palace! ”
"Yes." Tie Xuan bowed accordingly, and went with the attendants in the palace to pass the message. If it is less tilted, there will be guards who will bring up all those "native products". The moment he opened the pocket of the box, it was the imperial history of conservatives such as Dai Deyi and Lian Zining, and even the crown prince Zhu Biao and grandson Zhu Xiongying, who couldn't help but gasp. In front of him was a golden light, and these unremarkable boxes and bags were filled with gold.
"These are all obtained by the ministers in Fengmingzhou." Tie Hyun introduced. "The ministers are in the land of Fengmingzhou, there is a high mountain next to it, and there is a river under the mountain. There are many golden sands in the river rushing with the water, and you can get gold by picking up a handful of river water. Some aborigines told their ministers that there was gold in that mountain, and it was inexhaustible. The settlement was called 'Golden Mountain Fort' by the immigrants, hence the name. ”
"Gold Mountain...... Fort? A whole mountain of gold? Someone couldn't help but mutter.
"Unfortunately, time is pressing, and there is a lack of craftsmen and stoves in the station, so we can only mine these gold ore sands, and most of these gold ore sands have not yet been refined. can only be presented to His Majesty so superficially. Tie Xuan also felt quite regretful, thinking that the amount was too shabby, and that these Jinsha gold mines were not good looking, and they were not worthy of being presented to the Son of Heaven.
But those who are interested have seen the fineness of these gold, these unrefined Jinsha gold mines are orange and yellow, which is better than the gold mines in Yingzhou, and they are clearly produced from the best gold mines.
In Fengming Continent, there is such a splashing wealth? Even the conservative imperial historians were a little shaken.
