The three days have passed in a flash, and in the past three days, Chen Kan has not gone anywhere, just at home with the big-eyed cute girl.

If it weren't for picking up Ma He, Chen Kan wouldn't want to go out at all.

It stands to reason that such a thing as going to meet the horses and the fleet returning home should also be the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

I don't know what Zhu Di'an's heart is, he would let Chen Kan pick up people instead of the Ministry of Rites.

What a hassle!

With two dark circles under his eyes, he yawned and led people towards the Yangtze River Wharf outside the city.

"Twenty-eight beautiful people look like crisps, and the sword on her waist slashes the fool......"

Coming to the wide riverbank, looking at the busy people and boatmen on the dock, Chen Kan stretched his waist and couldn't help but burst out of his mouth.

Chen Kan is not a fool, at least that's what he thinks.

But he still can't dodge the sword at the waist of the beauty.

"Where is Ma He's fleet?"

Chen Kan turned around and asked Fang Xu, who was also bored.

Fang Xu raised his head blankly, tilted his neck, and said respectfully: "The news that came back this morning is that Ma He's fleet has arrived at Guanhaiwei, and it should be almost there now, right?" ”

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while, the fleet will call me when the fleet arrives!"

Chen Kan yawned, and Zhang San playfully placed the rocking chair brought out of the mansion in a shady place under the city tower.

Chen Kan leaned on the rocking chair, listened to the noisy sound from the dock, and slowly fell asleep.

April is the best time in Jiangnan, everything is revived, there is no summer heat, everything seems so vibrant.

I don't know how long I slept, but the noise in Chen Kan's ears suddenly disappeared in a short period of time.

"Dudu~"

The heavy sound of the horn frightened Chen Kan and jumped up from the rocking chair at once.

Looking around, the originally lively wharf didn't know when it had been emptied by Fang Xu and others.

This is in preparation for the docking of warships.

The sound of the horn gradually approached, and in Chen Kan's field of vision, the first thing that caught his eye was a giant treasure ship, and the sound of the horn came from this huge treasure ship.

The purpose was to drive away the civilian boats on the river.

Immediately afterward, dozens of frigates followed the treasure ship, each of which was a large ship of the Fuchuan class.

"My lord, here we are!"

"See, the official is not blind!"

Chen Kan looked solemnly at the big ship that was gradually heading towards the dock, as if he was facing a great enemy, as if he was not greeting his own warship, but welcoming some desolate beast.

Without him, Chen Kan felt that his guess was likely to come true.

The draft of the treasure ship is too deep, and it has reached the near forbidden waterline.

This means that the ship is definitely full of silver!

The big ship was getting closer and closer, and on the bow stood a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, dressed in fish scale armor, and carrying a heroic and extraordinary force.

The big ship docked steadily on the dock, and as soon as the deck landed, a team of sailors and soldiers instantly poured out on the ship.

The leader of the horse, under the escort of the sailors, slowly walked down the stairs and down the bow of the ship.

Chen Kan took a step forward and met Ma He.

"This official commander Chen Kan, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, is here to greet the world team of the envoys to the Wa Kingdom, please show the order of the banner envoy!"

As soon as Chen Kan's voice fell, Ma He waved to the sailors on the side, and the two sailors came out of the queue and handed the flags belonging to the imperial court envoys to Chen Kan.

Chen Kan took the flag, checked the documents and orders, and said to Ma He: "The inspection is complete, the identity is confirmed, the general is running for the country, hard work!" ”

Ma He gave a military salute and said loudly: "Serve the country, don't dare to say bitter!" ”

After finishing the article on the official face, Chen Kan closed the paper and returned it to Ma He, and said with a smile: "The general is going to the Japanese country, I want to gain a lot, right?" ”

Speaking of the harvest of going to the Wa Kingdom, Rao is Ma He is a person who has already seen the world, and he can't help but be a little excited.

"Hahahaha......"

He laughed and said, "Lord Chen is like a god, as for the harvest, it is better for your lord to go on the boat with the general to check it." ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

Chen Kan bowed his head, walked onto the big ship with his horse and handle, and walked into the cargo hold after passing through layers of guards.

Ma He stretched out his hand and gestured, "My lord, please see." ”

Chen Kan looked at it and saw that the cabin was full of simple wooden boxes.

Obviously, these wooden crates are the main culprit for the overweight of the ship.

Chen Kan casually opened a wooden box, and then a look of greed flashed in his eyes unconsciously.

Silver, all white flowers!

Looking at the mountain of wooden boxes in front of him, there were 100,000 taels of silver on this ship.

Chen Kan covered the wooden box, turned his head and asked, "General Ma, how did you get all this silver?" ”

Ma He watched Chen Kan quickly withdraw his gaze from so much silver, and couldn't help but glance at this young man in his heart.

With so much money in front of me, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to take their eyes off it at this time.

You must know that when he saw that there was really a silver mountain in the Wa Kingdom, he was shocked for a long time before he came to his senses.

And the silver he brought back, although it was only a small part of that silver mountain, was still a huge amount of money for any individual.

He smiled and said indifferently: "Ben will be a martial artist." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Ma He say this, Chen Kan was suddenly surprised: "You destroyed the Japanese Kingdom? ”

When Ma He heard this, he couldn't cry and laughed: "How is it possible, Ben Jiang just reasoned with General Ashikaga Yoshite, who occupied Silver Mountain, and the Wa Kingdom is a country that is not to be conquered as the grandfather himself said, how can Ben Jiang have the courage to provoke disputes between the two countries without authorization?" ”

"Oh!"

Chen Kan understood, be reasonable, and drove to the door of people's homes with the Daming treasure ship and tens of thousands of sailors to reason.

Is there something wrong?

No problem!

It's like driving an aircraft carrier to someone else's door in the later life, it's very harmonious.

"Ben Jiang is not well prepared this time, and only brought back a million taels of silver, which is enough to meet the cost of this envoy to the Wa Kingdom, if His Majesty can order the construction of treasure ships to form a large fleet, Ben will be sure to move the entire silver mountain back to Daming."

Ma He said lightly, and his words revealed an arrogant and domineering atmosphere.

How to say that the silver mountain belongs to the people's country, this is also unreasonable.

Chen Kan smiled and didn't speak, because Ma He's idea was just what he wanted.

Since he came to Daming, there is no need for the Wa Kingdom to exist, isn't it good to become a province of Daming?

It is a great gift to be able to feel the vanity of the Heavenly Empire in the land of projectiles.

Chen Kan said to himself: "One million taels of silver is already a year's tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty. ”

The current annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, excluding the local interception, is about 30 million stones, more than 20 million yuan of silk money, etc., which are all in kind, and when converted into silver, it is about 20 million taels.

Ma He just went to the Wa Kingdom and brought back a huge sum of millions of taels of silver.

If this is put into the market all of a sudden, although it will not cause the economy of the Ming Dynasty to collapse, it is certain that silver will depreciate significantly.

So Chen Kan was just a little shocked, and he felt a little worried.

No one will think that there is a lot of money, even if there is a lot of money, it will only be that there is not enough money to spend.

The key is that Hongwu issued treasure money indiscriminately, which almost led to the economic collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

It was only in the Yongle Dynasty that a delicate balance was finally reached.

Now the sudden arrival of a huge extra sum of money is likely to upset this balance.

And if this money is used to solve the sequelae left by the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money, this money is not enough.

This made the horse and the batch of silver he brought back look a little chicken.

Do you really want to put this money into Zhu Di's inner treasury and put it in ashes?

Chen Kan has now fallen into his own thoughts, completely ignoring that this money does not belong to Da Ming at all, does not belong to the treasury, and does not belong to him.

Ma He didn't think about it so much, anyway, he brought the money back, as for how to spend it, it was not something he had to worry about.

Anyway, Your Majesty can always find a place to spend money.

"Lord Chen, Lord Chen?"

Seeing that Chen Kan was a little stunned, Ma He couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

Chen Kan came back to his senses and saw that the soldiers of the navy and the guards brought by Chen Kan had begun to carry the wooden boxes on the ship, and then he realized that he seemed to be thinking a little too much.

The ownership of this money has not yet been determined, and I began to think about these things, isn't this full of food?

"It's the first time this official has seen so much money, and he has a little gaffe, which makes the general smile."

Chen Kan explained, and then couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It's just one million taels of silver, and it's not really the entire Iwami Silver Mountain that has been moved.

It seems that I have been confused by the economic and military affairs these days.

"It doesn't matter, when Ben Jiang first saw these silvers, he was not much better than Lord Chen."

Ma He shook his head and turned to get off the treasure ship.

Chen Kan followed him down the dock, and suddenly understood why Zhu Di wanted to let him pick up Ma He, and dared to let him be the overseer.

Because the captains of the Five Cities Terracotta Division have already found out more than a dozen soldiers who have hidden silver.

Now these dozen people were stripped naked by Fang Xu and surrounded on the dock.

Looking at their dead faces, Chen Kan couldn't help frowning a little.

"General Ma, these people, if you don't have any opinions, this official is ready to take them to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."

Ma He looked at Chen Kan's line of sight, and couldn't help frowning.

Since the beginning of the Jingnan, he has been leading troops into battle, so in his subconscious, he has always regarded himself as a general, not a eunuch.

As a general, he was naturally reluctant to dispose of his soldiers at will, especially with Chen Kan, an outsider, present.

But he is also well aware that military discipline and military law do not allow mercy.

Once he opens his mouth today, such things will only continue to emerge in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Ma He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you ask Lord Chen to look at the face of the general and spare their lives?" ”

"Yes, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"

Now that he understands what Zhu Di is doing here, Chen Kan plans to carry out Zhu Di's will to the end.

In all dynasties, the guards who managed the treasury were repeatedly prohibited from stealing, and how could the Ming Dynasty be an exception.
