A few days later, Qian Dahai and others finally came to Chang'an to receive the reward. At the same time, the supplies they brought back from the Americas were also delivered to Chang'an. The corn and potatoes must be handed over, and then divided into two portions, which were received by Furongyuan and Sinong Temple respectively.

Except for corn and potatoes, the remaining supplies belong to the private property of Zhang Zong and the eldest princess Chengyang, so Qian Dahai also sent it to Zhang Zong and the others as soon as possible after he arrived in the capital. However, Zhang Zong was small and could not hold too much, so he was taken to the eldest princess Chengyang's mansion.

"See Mr. Zhang!" Qian Dahai immediately went forward excitedly when he saw Zhang Zong. This time he went to Beijing to receive rewards. Not only did he have a huge bounty, but he also had an official position. Although he was just a nameless official, he was at least an official and would have confidence in everything he did in the future.

"You're welcome. Thank you for your hard work this time. Have the families of those dead ships been resettled?" Zhang Zong looked at Qian Dahai, who was dark and thin, and said with some emotion.

"Don't worry, bachelor, those brothers who went out to sea with me have already been prepared to die. As for the family members of those brothers, I have sent people to send a large number of settlement fees. In the future, I will send people to send gifts during festivals and holidays. I will never let their families lack clothes and eat less!" Qian Dahai said in the end, and the dangers encountered at sea were far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even if he could survive, he could only rely on luck.

"The eldest princess and I have also prepared a resettlement fee. We will take it with you when you leave. Then we will distribute it to the families of the dead and injured crew members. In addition, the alive crew members will not treat them unfairly. The eldest princess and I will also give them a large reward!" Zhang Zong said this and patted Qian Dahai on the shoulder and said, "That's all he can do. Although their names may not be recorded in history books, they are real heroes.

"Thank you, bachelor!" Qian Dahai was also very moved when he heard Zhang Zong's words. Most of them were from poor families. They could be said to be like grass. In the eyes of the government, their lives were not worth much money at all. Sometimes they were even worse than beasts, but Zhang Zong always regarded them as real people. This kind of respect was also one of the main reasons why he was willing to work for Zhang Zong.

"Let me see what you have brought!" Zhang Zong immediately patted Qian Dahai on the shoulder again and said.

I saw that there were already many people unloading the boxes from the carriage in the open space in front of the hall. These were all the products brought back by Qian Dahai from America. Princess Chengyang and Xue Shao also rushed over curiously at this time. Even Xue Ning'er and Changsun Yuanyi also arrived. Compared with other dynasties, the women of the Tang Dynasty still had some freedom.

Qian Dahai came to a box, then tore open the seal on it, and took out a bunch of keys from his arms to open the lock. When the lid of the box was opened, Zhang Zong, Xue Shao and others also leaned into it and looked inside. As a result, when they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but look surprised.

"So much gold?" Xue Shao couldn't help but scream, and saw that the box was full of boxes of gold, but some golds were of different shapes and looked very casually cast, but some golds had very special shapes, as if they were artificially made decorations, or even some sacrificial items.

"Actually, compared to other things, these gold is not valuable, but I want to give something to His Highness the Princess!" Qian Dahai reached out and searched through the box full of gold for a few times, and soon took out a thing wrapped in thick cloth from it. Although it was only the size of a human head, it was very heavy. A young and strong man like Qian Dahai had to use both hands to carry it out.

"What is this?" Princess Chengyang couldn't help but ask with a curious look when she heard that this was the gift given to her by the other party. If the other party was planning to give her gold, then Qian Dahai would underestimate her too much. After all, she was not short of gold, even this box of gold was nothing in her eyes.

Qian Dahai smiled, but did not explain, but reached out to open the thick cloth wrapped in it. When he saw what was inside, Princess Chengyang couldn't help but look disappointed, because the thick cloth was also a piece of gold, but it was a little bigger. Thanks to the others, the color of this piece of gold was not very good, and it seemed that there were a lot of impurities.

"It's just a piece of gold, what's so strange about it?" Xue Shao stepped forward and looked at it for a long time, then asked with confusion. He just saw Qian Dahai Shen's mysterious appearance, and thought it was some strange treasure, but he didn't expect it was just a piece of gold.

"This is not ordinary gold!" Zhang Zong also stepped forward and looked at him for a while, then said to Princess Chengyang and Xue Shao with excitement.

"What other ordinary or not in gold?" Xue Shao asked again in confusion.

"Of course it's different. This is a piece of gold!" Zhang Zong also stood up straight and explained to Xue Shao.

"The bachelor is so knowledgeable. He can actually see its origin at a glance!" Qian Dahai next to him heard Zhang Zong call out the origin of the gold nuggets, and immediately said with a smile.

"Go-headed gold? This name is so ugly!" Xue Ning'er, who was beside the eldest princess, couldn't help but speak.

"Haha, although the name of dog-headed gold is ugly, its origin is unusual. Because it is a piece of natural gold. Because it is shaped like a dog's head, it is called dog-headed gold. Of course, some natural gold is like a horse's hoof, so it is also called horse-hoofed gold." Zhang Zong explained with a smile again.

Compared with dog-headed gold, the name horseshoe gold was more famous in ancient times because since the Han Dynasty, the ancients liked to cast gold into the shape of horseshoe, and was even a common currency in the Han Dynasty. There are many statements about the origin of this horseshoe gold, but Zhang Zong felt that this horseshoe gold was probably cast in imitation of natural gold shapes.

"It turned out to be horse hoof gold. I have only heard of it before, but I have never seen it. I didn't expect that there was such a huge horse hoof gold in this world!" Princess Chengyang was knowledgeable and thought of the origin of horse hoof gold at this time, and immediately said with great admiration.

"It turned out to be a naturally formed gold nugget, which is rare enough!" Xue Shao also said in admiration when he heard this.
