The more the number, the more frustrated the officers and scribes will be.

Look at the boxes of treasures.

Some were plundered from Franji's ships.

After the Francoids occupied various colonial points, they frantically plundered local supplies, or directly plundered local gold and silver, and sent them back to their home countries one by one.

Yes, from all over the colony.

There are also income from overseas trade.

Most of the income from overseas trade is the exchange of official silk and porcelain.

Xu Jing paid attention to all the official trade income and kept an account, which belonged to the imperial court.

This customs clearance lasted a full day.

People have to stay here.

Those good Tianjin soldiers were reluctant to leave for a long time, and some people came again after eating.

What surprised them was that what the fleet brought back was not just a group of ragged, yellow and emaciated sailors, but also... countless treasures.

People kept discussing, and some people whispered: "It is said that the silver brought back now is 3.27 million taels." One catty in Daming is 16 taels, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of catties.

Overseas, a lot of silver is not currency. People are used to using gold as currency, so the price of silver is not expensive. Many people actually only use silver as utensils or decorations, so in the trade During the process, the fleet bought silver frantically. Hundreds of thousands of catties of silver, converted to only a few hundred tons, but when they arrived in Daming, it was a huge fortune.

Gold is the most frightening thing. By the time of the final calculation, there were 1.9 million taels of gold, which was also only a hundred tons. Putting it on the Golden Island, it was nothing more than the emperor of a certain country built a golden house for himself. Langji is still Daming, and it is also a terrifying wealth. If it is converted into silver, it may be worth more than ten million taels.

In addition, there are hundreds of tons of spices, countless ivory, agate and other jewelry.

Nearly 20% was exchanged from official porcelain and silk exchanges. Most of the rest were snatched from the Francois.

20% of the gold and silver are all boxed and sent directly to the national treasury, no, now, it should be the internal treasury.

The rest are all based on tariffs, in the form of one out of ten, and then withdraw this tenth to enrich the internal treasury, and the rest will be distributed and rewarded to the officers and men of the fleet according to their merits.

Sailors and crew of two thousand when they went to sea, even if they didn't have an inch of merit, they got the least amount of silver, and the silver was still three thousand taels.

Those who have more are more than 20,000 or even 30,000 taels.

At this time, silver has not been continuously imported into Ming Dynasty, and this is only the first time, so the price of silver has not been as it was in history. Even if it is the poorest sailor, the three thousand taels of silver in his hand is enough to make him rich and become the leading family in the local area. It is no problem to marry a few wives, build a big house of a few acres, and buy a hundred acres of land .

As for those who have made contributions and obtained tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is even more terrifying.

All of a sudden, the entire port was beaming.

And the countless treasures packed in boxes need to be sent to Xishan first, and then the silver is divided by large scales. This is also for safety. The gold and silver are divided here. Of course, all the sailors are blood-sucking people. , but they can’t carry the wealth for a while, most of them have nothing but their homes, and these hundreds of thousands of catties of gold and silver are directly put into their own huts?

Tianjin Wei was boiling.

Nima! Going out to sea is almost like moving a mountain of gold.

Many of the sailors who went to sea were military households of Tianjin Wei. When they were incorporated into the navy and let them go to sea, I don’t know how many of them boarded the boat crying, so that those military households who were not recruited were relieved for a long time. Tone, luck, going into the sea, isn't this a bastard? Died outside, with no bones left, and no one to take care of the old lady at home.

But now... many people are crying.

They were all poor people who couldn't eat three meals a day. How could they have imagined that the person who was sympathized at the beginning would become rich and prosperous in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, they obviously found a good backer. Ambassador Xu led them out from the port. Behind them was the Marquis of Shouning, and the one in front was said to be a disciple of the Fang family. According to word of mouth, the sailors can go to Xishan to withdraw the money when they know it.

They are like proud little roosters, swaggering through the market, don't look at the ragged clothes, but the waist is hard, and they are even more different. These people on the boat have endured hardships and shared hardships with many comrades. Between each other, friendship Profound, these people who kill people overseas give people a different temperament.

Even those who were looked down upon at the beginning, when they arrived in Hong Kong, received a certificate of silver, and hurried to their own homes to meet their mothers. Most of their homes were poor military families in the past. When I arrived at the empty house and saw the old mother, I immediately knelt down and burst into tears. If there were brothers, wives and children in the family, the whole family would cry with each other.

Back... finally back.

People are alive.

After crying, the local Thousand Household Officer came to the door. The news was simply crazy.

For example, the local Qianhu learned that the second dog under his command had returned.

I heard that they made a lot of money. These superiors usually took the properties of the generals as their own, and regarded the soldiers below them as their own serfs.

If you make a lot of money, you can't help but make up your mind.

So, I hurriedly took people to Ergou's house in a hurry, but before the people arrived, many nearby military households came to see the strange things, and everyone grinned, some were envious, some were jealous, and some thought there might be something wrong. It's fun to watch, of course, and there must be some people who worry about it.

There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and all the people are crowded. As soon as the Qianhu official entered the door, he said with a smile: "The second dog is back."

After hearing this, the two dogs didn't respond, but his mother, wife and children turned pale with fright.

The Qianhu official sat down on his own, while several confidant servants stood aside in a pretentious manner.

The officer of Qianhu raised his feet and said: "Ergou, it's good if you come back. Look at your mother. If I hadn't taken care of you, she would have died a long time ago. I heard that you made a fortune. Well, according to Weili's rules, you I also know, your money..."

The two dogs stood up.

Look at countless eyes looking at yourself.

This Qianhu official had eaten Ergou to death. People whispered, and many people felt sorry for him.

In the past, Ergou was a timid and fearful person. When he met the Qianhu officer, he became very timid. The source of the misery of the military households is that they are completely attached to the military officer, and the military officer controls the life and death of their family.

Seeing this, Ergou's mother panicked and wanted to salute the Qianhu official.

Ergou looked at Qianhuguan calmly.

This is a very strange feeling. When I went out to sea, when I saw Guan Qianhu, I felt reverence and awe in my heart. Now I see him again, I haven't seen him for three years, and I think this person is ridiculous.

Ergou stepped forward: "Thank you Cheng Qianhu for taking care of my mother. Cheng Qianhu asked for money."

"Haha, of course it's money from overseas. I knew about it a long time ago. According to the rules..."

"Cheng Qianhu wants it?" Ergou looked at him strangely.

Cheng Qianhu turned his feet up and smiled.

Ergou didn't say anything, and took out the certificate from his arms: "This is the certificate issued by Ambassador Xu and Shouning Hou, and it says nine thousand three hundred and fifty-four taels!"

Hearing this number, everyone gasped, they were going crazy, their scalps were numb.

Er Gou slapped the certificate on the table: "Cheng Qianhu wants it, just take it and go to Xishan to get it."

"..." Cheng Qianhu's complexion changed, and he thought about it: "Go get it, get it back, keep a few hundred taels for yourself, buy some clothes for the mother and children at home, your house should also Repaired."

The implication is that for the rest, I have no choice but to accept it with a smile.

After hearing this, Er Gou thought it was funny: "Cheng Qianhu dare not go get it, right? Is he afraid of Ambassador Xu, or the Marquis of Shouning?"

"You..." Cheng Qianhu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Ergou sighed, and suddenly, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and the eyes fell on Cheng Qianhu.

What terrifying eyes these are, they are covered with bloodshot eyes, but they seem to be surprisingly calm, but behind this calmness, there is an indescribable sharpness.

"Cheng Qianhu wants money, but he doesn't have the guts?" Ergou squinted, and suddenly, he laughed wantonly.

After hearing this, the confidant servant clasped his hands and shouted angrily: "Ergou, you are so bold..."

Just as he was talking, Ding suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.

With one fist, he slammed hard into his face.

Snapped……

This punch was made by Er Gou. It was crisp, neat, not fancy, ordinary, but very fast. The servant didn't know what happened. In an instant, he felt like his face was being hit hard with a hammer. , there was an inaudible cracking sound of the nasal bone broken instantly, nosebleeds and flying front teeth splashed everywhere.

The servant subconsciously wanted to cover his face.

This kind of people, who have never been through this, screamed, covered their faces, and rolled on the ground in pain.

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing this, Cheng Qianhu turned pale and said sharply, "You..."

Er Gou didn't even look at the servant, but suddenly he took out a dagger from his waist. It was found from a prisoner of Franji. It was made of fine steel. Light, and then, he sharply stabbed the gleaming dagger hard.

The dagger stabbed into the table.

penetrating.

Sawdust was flying.

Ergou raised his head again.

That Qianhu almost collapsed, he never thought that these two dogs... would be so bold!

Er Gou smiled, this smile was very calm, only pulled the muscles on his face, but suddenly shouted: "What kind of thing are you, Cheng Jianye? Anyway, you want to blackmail me?"

Qianhu was about to faint... Back then, the cowardly Ergou, now...asked himself what it was?
