Since the West African colonies were easy to control, Tim was not worried about other sudden factors and directly handed over the grain coast to Tana to manage. He left the grain coast with several ships of spices, gold, ivory and a dozen black slaves.

Compared with Lai Cheng, everyone on the Rei Cheng was obviously much happier. This time everyone was excited about the gains this time.

Tim is thinking about how to allocate these wealth.

All wealth of gold must be collected into the treasury, while ivory must be given to some nobles and the Roman Catholic Church. This thing will definitely not be sold in the European market.

The remaining spices were distributed to Portuguese merchants for sale across Europe, except for leaving enough parts for the royal family.

Of course, these spices must not be fully entered into the European market, and must be entered in batches and in batches. In this way, the price of spices can continue to maintain their high value and avoid depreciation due to the large number of spices entering the market.

After nearly a month of traveling in the Atlantic Ocean, the ship finally returned to Lisbon safely. Due to a lot of preparations on this trip, there was no casualties. The loss of the ship was also very low, so there was no situation where the ship could not continue to be used because of the long trip.

Archbishop White, Earl of Warren, Prince Siglas and others had long heard of Tim's return, so they were all waiting for Tim's return at the port of Lisbon at dawn.

"Look, your Majesty's ship is coming in." Earl Warren looked excitedly at several ships slowly entering the port. Before the ship could stop, he had already called the soldiers to come forward to greet him.

Nathan and Ferrero helped Tim off the ship. For some reason, the wind and waves were quite strong on the way back, and the ship was very bumpy, and Tim was directly seasick.

"Your Majesty, you..." Prince Sigras looked at Tim's listless state for a moment of worry.

Tim waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I'm going to send heavy troops to transport all the things on the ship into the treasury. In addition, we will dismiss all the onlookers as soon as possible. News about the things on the ship must not be leaked."

Prince Siglas nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know the importance of things. You can go back and rest first. Leave the matter here to me."

"Yeah." Tim nodded, letting several soldiers help him onto a stretcher and carrying him back to the palace. At this moment, he needed a rest.

After seeing off Tim and Cardinal Archbishop White, Earl Warren and Prince Siglas boarded the ship to watch the situation.

"What is this?" Earl Warren was stunned when he looked at the brown and red particles. He reached out and pinched a few and put them in his mouth and exclaimed: "The smell of spices."

"It's true that the flavor of the spices is, but judging from the color, it seems to be different from the spices we have seen before." Prince Siglas also made a statement after pilling one.

Nathan hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Two sirs, Your Majesty said that this spice is a new variety. Although it is different from the spices in the hands of the Venetian merchants, the effects of the two are exactly the same."

"Sir, the ships behind are filled with spices, so we should transport them to the treasury as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by others and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Yes." Prince Sigras nodded in agreement, and then Portuguese soldiers transported all the things on the ship to the treasury under the command of Nathan and others.

During the period of soldiers' transport, all streets were prohibited, residents were forbidden from coming out, and soldiers patrolled back and forth with weapons.

Nearly 10,000 people were moving the things on the boat at the same time, and they only moved the things on the boat in the evening, which shows how rich Tim's harvest was this time.

"The total wealth gained from this voyage almost made us the richest country on the continent." Looking at the treasury full of spices, gold and ivory, Warren Groot smiled from ear to ear.

Nathan nodded and said, "Yes, this time he went out to sea, His Majesty has brought back almost all the wealth in the Grain Coast region, which is enough for our country to survive for several years."

Speaking of this, Nathan and Ferrero briefly explained the situation of this trip.

After listening to the two of them, Prince Siglas and others were surprised.

"My God, there is such a place? Don't the fools there know the value of gold and spices?"

Ferrero nodded and said, "There is still a primeval forest there at this moment. People are mainly tribal gatherings. The economy has not developed at all, let alone the existence of merchants and commerce. In their eyes, spice gold is not worth anything at all."

"Since that's the case, it's better to sail on a large scale, right?" Earl Warren was moved when he heard this. It was so fast that he could make money like this, so why do you need to work hard?

Nathan shook his head: "I told Your Majesty this before, but Your Majesty said that if we conduct large-scale sailings at this moment, the wealth we gain will definitely be envied by other European countries, and our country will be in danger at that time."

"Yes, Your Majesty also said that we should use these wealth to develop ourselves first. After we have absolute strength, we will start sailing casually. Anyway, those wealth is all there. Except for us, no country has the ability to get it there."

Hearing this, Earl Warren burst out laughing: "That's great, it's great, so we have countless wealth to use."

"Father, this is not the end. Didn't Your Majesty set up a New Line Development Company before? You don't know that now almost all merchants in the European continent have transferred their funds to our New Line Development Company. I'm sure that our country's total wealth is the highest in Europe. Although the money in the New Line Development Company does not belong to us completely, we can use it." Warren Groot said with a smile.

Anyway, there is so much money in Xinhanglu Development Company, and who knows that the Grape Yuan Kingdom embezzles part of it?

"Oh, it's not that I said to Your Majesty. Now that we are so rich, we can use this wealth on a large scale to directly recruit troops and mercenaries to participate in the mainland war of hegemony." Speaking of this, Earl Warren sighed. He saw this situation, why didn't Your Majesty see it?

Prince Siglas patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, let's not be suspicious of His Majesty's thoughts. Just do our own things well. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. Let's talk about everything when His Majesty wakes up."
