"Great goodness!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, although he didn't know too much, he could also hear that the gold, silver and copper reserves in those mines would definitely not be less!

"You've done a great job this time!"

Ma He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit, these are the places where Dinghai Hou informed Weichen and others!"

Weichen and others didn't make much contribution! ”

Zhu Di smiled lightly and said lightly: "Let you hide these from those ministers, and it is also Dinghai Hou who will explain it to you!" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian!"

On the side, Guo An, who knew that he couldn't escape, stood up very neatly and arched his hand towards Zhu Di.

And Ma He didn't dare to continue talking.

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, Weichen taught like this, there are some selfish motives, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also agrees to this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him!" ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Zhu Di's eyelids twitched slightly, and Guo Thief actually used the prince to take the pot.

Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly, and also stood up, saluted Zhu Di, and asked for sin.

"The father forgives the sin, this is also because the child thinks what the teacher said is reasonable!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little curious.

Guo ...... What did Guo Qing say? ”

Guo Andao: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Ma He, Hou Xian, Xu Xiang, the old people of Beiping Mansion, risked their lives, abandoned their families and children, died for a lifetime, and went to the West to find the road to wealth and prosperity, which could not be won by those outsiders in vain.

Even if it is a last resort, it is necessary to give some to those outsiders, but the best place should be chosen by Ma He, Xu Xiang, and Qiu Song first! ”

"First?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little puzzled: "Guo Qing, what do Ma and them choose first?" ”

Guo An smiled and said embarrassedly: "This time, it is the courage of Weichen, and he has not yet admonished His Majesty!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's face was overjoyed, and he immediately let go of the unhappiness just now, and asked, "What is Guo Qing's good strategy?" ”

Guo An said: "Back to Your Majesty, now that the fleet has harvested so much from the Western Ocean, does Your Majesty have any plans to open the sea?" ”

"I want to open the sea!"

Zhu Di nodded without thinking, since Guo An entered his Yanwang Mansion, he had fallen in love with the spacious life.

No, it should be that he is deeply infatuated with the abundant days.

And now that he is the emperor of the entire Ming Dynasty, even if he has a lot of money inside, he must earn more money in order to maintain such a generous life, at least not to be constrained by those officials.

"Then if Your Majesty opens the sea, he should send troops to guard those key barbarian lands and ports in the South and Western Oceans, especially the barbarian lands with gold, silver, copper and spices, and precious stones!"

"It's nature!"

"In this way, Ma He, Hou Xian, Xu Xiang, Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan, Qiu Song, these generals who are familiar with the situation in the South and Western Seas will have the opportunity to go to be the governor of the town!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others immediately understood what Guo An meant.

And Ma He, Xu Xiang, Zhu Neng and others all flashed with joy in their eyes.

Zhu Di couldn't help but say coldly: "Guo Qing is not afraid that I will say that you are forming a party for personal gain? ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent.

Guo An's face changed slightly, and his face was full of grievances: "Your Majesty Mingjian, although Weichen is a little eccentric, it is also common for people.

Weichen is most familiar with Ma He, Xu Xiang and others, and has the best relationship.

They risked their lives and took the fleet to the Western Ocean, which was also the suggestion of Weichen.

Moreover, Wei Chen felt that in the entire court, I don't know how other officials are, but Ma He, Xu Xiang and others must be loyal to His Majesty, and they all have the talent of generals!

Therefore, no matter which aspect it is, Wechen should be biased towards them! ”

"Hehe......"

Zhu Di sneered again.

And Ma He, Xu Xiang and others were full of fear, how could Hou Ye be so reckless?

Guo An bowed his head slightly and waited quietly.

He didn't believe it, Zhu Di would really be angry, and even more unbelievable that Zhu Di would think that he was forming a party for personal gain, and he would be jealous of him!

There are too many powerful magnates and officials in their officialdom than him, even if he Guo An unites all the generals in Beiping Mansion, I am afraid that he will not be ranked in the top ten!

Moreover, he Guo An is eccentric!

Anyway, he's open!

"You're a!"

Zhu Di suddenly smiled lightly, and the dead silence in the hall suddenly lightened.

Zhu Gaochi, Ma He, Xu Xiang and others, their tense bodies also subconsciously relaxed, and their backs were slightly cold.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to punish you, it's Weichen who is reckless!"

Guo An is also very knowledgeable and pleads.

"Tsk, will you still be reckless in Dinghaihou?"

Zhu Di glared at Guo An with a strange expression, and then looked at Ma He, Xu Xiang and the others.

"Ma He, Hou Xian, Xu Xiang, Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan, Qiu Song...... If there is a chance to defend the town, are you willing to lead the troops there? ”

"Weichen obeys His Majesty's orders!"

Ma He, Xu Xiang and others responded respectfully.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and didn't continue to say anything.

……

Inside the castle.

With the fleet full of various goods, it has successively docked at various wharves in Beijing, and then transported to various warehouses.

A number of magnates, officials, and gentry in the capital also began to inquire around.

There are so many goodies that the fleet brought back.

Your Majesty will definitely not be able to use up these things, and will inevitably sell them.

Meantime.

Many people are also intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the news of the South and the West.

It's just that the soldiers of the Western fleet will be with craftsmen and doctors...... and others, who have not yet returned.

Thereupon.

Overseas news such as Nanyang and Western Ocean can only come out of the mouths of important ministers such as Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong, Bangzhao, Yu Xin, and Zheng Yi.

Then, from the mouths of a group of noble officials, it was transmitted to the ears of those gentry and merchants.

So.

The sinister situation of the overseas South Seas and the West spread vividly in Beijing.

Moment.

Many people retreated, and several gentry had just bought sea boats, which were also hurriedly sold at high prices.

They actually earned some silver taels, and the gentry were happy for a long time.

Hear this.

Guo An just lay comfortably on the soft chair of the Dinghai Hou Mansion, his face was leisurely, and the corners of his mouth smiled lightly.

The Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce can earn more silver taels.

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Di has a black forehead, and those who listen to the wind are cowardices of the rain.

But.

Seeing the thick account books on the table in front of him, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth couldn't help but grin slightly.

110,000 catties of gold and utensils, 40,000 catties of silver......

2,000 boxes of spices, 10,000 boxes of pepper, 1,000 boxes of precious stones, and 100 boxes of ivory......

What Guo Qing said is really right, although those barbarians are ignorant, there are a lot of treasures!

Pity.

Too many treasures is not a good thing, if Ma He and Xu Xiang and others take the fleet again to the West and the South Seas a few times, he will definitely be able to have some more silver in his pocket.

He can also save enough silver for Zhu Gaochi's kid like his father did.

Pity.

Those barbarians are stupid and have a lot of treasures.

Those people in the court will definitely not want to let these belongings enter his inner pockets.

Especially Yu Xin's old goods......

None of the officials in the household department will be good!

But.

One fleet makes money far less than thousands of fleets.

Give the household part some commercial taxes, and plug the courtier's mouth!

All you need to do is send some loyal generals to quietly dig up the gold, silver, and copper mines in the South and West Oceans and put them into his pocket!

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful Zhu Di's heart became.

The various overseas treasures brought back by the fleet this time are far beyond Zhu Di's imagination.

It took half a month for the goods on the more than 200 ships to be transported to Beijing.

In the meantime.

A special auction yard in the capital division was also quickly renovated.

Zhu Di said to Guo An: "We heard that Guo Qing wants to ask the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce to auction those jewelry and strange things brought back by the fleet?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di couldn't help frowning slightly, a little worried, "With so many strange pearl treasures put together, how can they be auctioned for a high price?" ”

Guo An smiled lightly, very confident.

"Back to Your Majesty, with so many strange pearl treasures put together, it is natural that the auction will not be able to get a high price.

However, it will take at least a year before the opening of the sea, before the next fleet goes to the South Seas, and then returns to Daming.

Wechen is ready to auction some first, if those gentry and businessmen want to lower the price, Wechen will conduct an auction every half a month, or a month......

Weichen didn't believe it, those gentry and businessmen dared to unite to lower prices!

If that's the case, Weichen is not afraid, it just so happens that our maritime trade chamber of commerce has opened some shops in various state capitals in Daming, specializing in selling these rare things......"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"That's a brilliant plan!"

The most important thing is that the money under the intermittent auction will not be too conspicuous, and it will not provoke Yu Xin's old goods to get pink eye!
