Chapter 738: What are you?
The more you count, the more you feel. The more you feel.
Looking at the boxes of treasures.
Some were plundered from Franc's ships.
After occupying various colonial sites, the Franchise plundered local supplies frantically, or directly plundered local gold and silver, and sent them back to their country in ships.
Some come from colonial sites everywhere.
Others come from sea-to-sea trade.
Most of the income from trade in the sea is exchanged for official silk and porcelain.
Xu Jing was careful and wrote down all the official trade income, which belonged to the court.
This time, customs clearance lasted for a full day.
People have to guard here.
Those good-for-gotten soldiers in Tianjin refused to disperse, and some people came again after dinner.
What shocked them was that what the fleet brought back was not only a group of ragged sailors, pale-faced and thin-skinned sailors, but also... countless treasures.
People kept talking, and some people whispered: "It is said that the silver I brought back now is 3.27 million taels." One pound of Ming Dynasty was 16 taels, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Overseas, many silver is not currency. People are used to using gold for the purpose of currency, so the price of silver is not expensive. Many people just use silver as utensils or as accessories. Therefore, during the trade process, the fleet frantically purchased silver. Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of silver, which was only a few hundred tons, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was a huge wealth.
Gold is the most terrifying. By the time of final calculation, the gold was already 1.9 million taels, which was only 100 tons. In the Golden Continent, it was just an emperor of a certain country who built a golden house for himself. However, whether it was in Franchise or the Ming Dynasty, it was also a terrible wealth. If it was converted into silver, it was afraid that it was worth more than 10 million taels.
In addition to this, there are hundreds of tons of spices, countless ivory, agate and other jewelry.
Nearly 20% of the income from official porcelain and silk. The rest were mostly snatched from the Franchise people.
Twenty percent of the gold and silver were packed and sent directly to the national treasury. No, now, it should be the inner treasury.
The rest are all based on tariffs and one in ten draws. This is the final result, and the treasury is enriched. The remaining ones are distributed to reward soldiers from the fleet according to their merits.
The two thousand sailors and crew members who went to sea, even if they had no inch of their achievements, would get the least amount of silver to 3,000 taels.
Those with many people are more than 20,000 or even more than 30,000 taels.
At this time, silver had not been continuously imported into the Ming Dynasty. This was just the first time. Therefore, the price of silver had not been as good as that in history. After the great geographical discovery in history, Franjimen frantically entered silver into Middle Earth. The price of silver did not depreciate. Even the poorest sailor, the three thousand taels of silver in his hand, was enough to make him rich and become the leading local household. It was no problem to marry a few wives, build a few acres of mansions and buy a hundred acres of land.
As for those who make contributions and get tens of thousands of taels of silver, it would be even more terrible.
For a moment, the entire port was filled with joy.
The countless boxes of wealth need to be sent to Xishan first, and then used a large scale to divide the silver. This is also for safety. The sailors are all people who are licking blood on their heads, but they can't carry this wealth for a while. Most of them have barely left the hundreds or thousands of kilograms of gold and silver directly into their thatched huts?
Tianjin Wei was in full bloom.
Damn! This going out to sea is almost like moving a gold mountain.
Many sailors who went out to sea were all military households from Tianjin Wei. They were assigned to the navy and asked them to go out to sea. I don’t know how many people were crying on the boat, so that those unsuccessful soldiers were relieved. Luckily, if you go into the sea, wouldn’t you become a turtle? You died outside, and the corpses were gone, and no one would take care of your family if they died.
But now... many people are crying.
They are all extremely poor people and never succeed in their meals. But they never thought that the people who were sympathized with at the time were already rich, becoming rich and becoming rich.
Moreover, it was obvious that they had found a good backer. Ambassador Xu led them out of the port, and the Marquis of Shouning in the front was the one in front of them. It was said that they were disciples of the Fang family, and all the gold and silver were distributed to the Xishan Town Government and the palace. People kept saying word by word, and only then did they know that the sailors could go to Xishan to withdraw the silver at any time.
They are like proud little roosters, swaying across the market. Although they are ragged, they are even more different. These people on the boat have been through hardships and share the hardships with many of their fellow comrades. They have deep friendships with each other. These people who kill people overseas give people a different temperament.
Even if someone who was looked down upon at the time arrived in Hong Kong and received a certificate of money, he hurried to his home to see his old mother. Most of their homes were poor military families. The father died and the son succeeded him. When he arrived at the home, he saw his old mother, he immediately knelt down and cried loudly. If there were brothers, wife, sons and children at home, the whole family would hug their heads and cry.
I'm back... I'm finally back.
People are still alive.
After crying, the local Qianhu officials came to the door, and the news was simply crazy.
For example, the local Qianhu knew that Ergou, who was under his jurisdiction, was back.
I heard that after making a fortune, these Shangguans had already taken over the land among the soldiers as their own, and regarded the soldiers as their own serfs. Now that Ergou has made a fortune, he naturally has to make a decision.
So, I hurried to Ergou's house with me. Before the people arrived, many nearby military households came to see each other. Everyone was grinning, some were envious, some were jealous, some felt that there might be some fun. Of course, some were not uncommon for this.
There were three floors outside and three floors outside, and all the black people were crowded with people. As soon as the Qianhuguan entered the door, he smiled and said, "Ergou is back."
After hearing this, the Ergou had no reaction. Instead, his mother, wife and children were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The thousand-household officials sat down on their own, and several confidant servants stood aside with a powerful force.
Qianhuguan raised his feet and said, "Ergou, it's good to come back. Look at your mother. If I hadn't been to the charge of this official, I would have died long ago. I heard that you have made a fortune. Well, according to the rules of the guards, you also know that you have made a fortune. Your money..."
Ergou stood up.
Looking at myself in countless eyes.
This thousand household officials have eaten Ergou to death. People whispered, and many people felt sorry for him.
Ergou was a timid and fearful person. When he saw the officials of Qianhu, he became extremely timid. The misery of the military households came from that they were completely attached to the military officers, who controlled the lives and deaths of their families.
Seeing this, Ergou's mother was frightened and wanted to salute the officials of Qianhu.
Ergou looked at Qianhuguan calmly.
This is a very strange feeling. When I went out to sea, I saw Qianhuguan, and I was respectful and awe-inspiring. Now, when I looked at him again, I haven't seen him for three years, and I feel that this person can laugh.
Ergou stepped forward: "I thank you Cheng Qianhu for taking care of his mother. Cheng Qianhu asked what money he had."
"Haha, of course it was the money I got from overseas. I knew about this, according to the rules..."
"Cheng Qianhu wants it?" Ergou looked at him strangely.
Cheng Qianhu raised his feet and smiled.
Ergou didn't say anything and took out the credentials from his arms: "This is the credentials sent by Ambassador Xu and Hou Shouning, with nine thousand three hundred and fifty-four taels on it!"
When everyone heard this number, they took a breath and went crazy and their scalp was numb.
Ergou snapped the credentials on the table: "Cheng Qianhu wants it, so he takes it himself and goes to Xishan to collect it."
"..." Cheng Qianhu's face changed, and he thought it out: "You go and collect it, you have to take it back, keep it a few hundred taels and buy some clothes for the mother and children in the family. Your house should be repaired."
The implication is that I can only accept the others with amusement.
After hearing this, Ergou felt funny: "Cheng Qianhu doesn't dare to go and get it? Are you afraid of Ambassador Xu or Hou Shouning?"
"You..." Cheng Qianhu's face changed: "What do you mean?"
Ergou sighed, and suddenly, murderous intent emerged in his eyes, and this gaze fell on Cheng Qianhu.
What a terrible eye, the eyes were covered with blood, but it seemed surprisingly calm, but behind this calmness, there was an indescribable sharpness.
"Cheng Qianhu wants money but doesn't have the courage, right?" Ergou narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, he laughed wildly.
After hearing this, the trusted servant hugged his hands and shouted angrily: "Egou, you are so bold..."
As he was talking, Ding suddenly felt a flash in front of him.
A fist hit him hard in the face.
Bang...
This punch was hit by Ergou, simply, neat, not fancy, ordinary, but very fast. For some reason, this family member felt that his face was like a hammer pounding. At the bridge of his nose, there was an inaudible crisp sound of a broken nose, and blood from his nose and flying front teeth were splattered everywhere.
The servant subconsciously wanted to cover his face.
Such people have never suffered this before. They screamed and covered their faces, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Everyone was shocked.
Seeing this, Cheng Qianhu looked pale and said sternly: "You..."
Ergou didn't even look at the clerk, but suddenly he took out a dagger from his waist. It was found from a prisoner of a Franchise, made of stainless steel. The dagger shook with silver light. Then, his hand was sharp and sharp, stabbing the shining dagger hard.
The dagger pierced the table.
penetrating.
Wood chips are flying.
Ergou looked up again.
The thousand households were almost collapsed. He didn't expect that the two dogs... were so bold!
Ergou smiled. The smile was very calm. He only involved the muscles on the bottom, but suddenly shouted: "What is Cheng Jianye? You are used to being in the one-acre and three-point field of this thousand-household office. You are so ungrateful that you want to blackmail me?"
