The human heart is made of meat.

Fang Jifan's too!

No matter how scumbag Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are, even if they are dogs, knowing that they are going to be sad, they say a few good words against their hearts and praise them, which is also human nature.

People are going to die.

Circumnavigating Kunlun from the Western Ocean to the Golden Continent and crossing the entire Pacific Ocean from the west coast of the Golden Continent are completely different concepts.

In terms of the ships of the day.

Crossing the Pacific Ocean is an act of death.

The Pacific Ocean is vast and immense, and it is almost impossible to stop and replenish along the way, and if you take the route of the Arctic Circle, at this time, it is in the Xiaoice period, which is almost equivalent to looking for death.

And in the Pacific, the storms are more violent, the weather is changeable, and all in all, there is almost no difference between this and death.

The only thing you can pray for is luck.

Poor Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo, they are ...... at the moment God knows whether it is dead or alive, Fang Jifan has no choice but to mourn in his heart for these two guys who are not dead now, and will definitely die in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi's face stiffened, but after listening to Fang Jifan's words, he still reluctantly smiled: "Yes, these two people are exemplary, enough for the ministers to follow suit." ”

The officials saw that Fang Jifan's face was not good-looking, and they had also seen the map of the world, from west to east...... This one...... This ......, the map of the Three Treasure Eunuchs has now been proved to be generally correct, then, what they have to cross is a large ocean, nine deaths and one life.

People are dead, how can you be embarrassed...... What bad things to say?

Just like the evaluation of historical figures, when people are alive, the teeth of the oppressed people hate itchy, but as soon as people die, people become tolerant, and they always like to pick out some good things in this dregs, so as to make themselves appear objective.

"The two uncles are good people, how ......" someone sighed: "They are usually very simple and simple, and such thrifty housekeeping is worthy of our emulation." ”

"Yes, yes, I usually treat people kindly, and when I don't think so, I invite people to a banquet next post, and there are few people who are so hospitable."

"Not much, not more."

Everyone began to recall the shining points of the two uncles.

So much so that Fang Jifan felt that when did these two guys become saints.

Of course, life must look forward, and after a short period of reminiscence, Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xu Jing: "Xu Qingjia, keep talking." ”

Xu Jing said: "The minister traded with various countries along the way, to the south of Kunlun and other places, to the natives, exchanged a large number of treasures, and captured many ships of the Franco, and at the same time in the Golden Continent and other places, trade with the natives, in addition, with some hostile natives, the gains...... Brilliant. ”

As soon as he heard the word Feiran, Emperor Hongzhi's eyebrows jumped.

Xu Jingzheng said: "The specific amount is still being converted, but the minister dares to guarantee that the jewelry, spices, gold, and silver brought this time are worth more than 50 million taels of silver." ”

“……”

Emperor Hongji was shocked.

50,000,000,000 taels of silver.

"In addition to the rewards that should be given to the sailors and sailors, the rest of the ones that should be handed over to the inner treasury are only 17 million taels."

Seventeen million taels.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered clearly that in his inner treasury, the silver deposit was 13,726,221 taels of silver, and this time, the income increased more than twice as much, and then put aside the dividends given to Fang Jifan......"

Earned, this is a profitable deal.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "Why are there so many." ”

"Your Majesty, in the past five years, ships from the Ming Dynasty with silk, porcelain to the sea, the more ships, the more goods, after passing through the West, you can sell a batch, and then exchange for gold, silver, spices, ivory, and then continue to Tianzhu, Tianzhu people have a lot of gold and silver, they love silk very much, with silk can be exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver, after that...... In Kunlun Continent, the ivory and jewelry of Kunlun Continent are unique in ten thousand, and they are priceless, and in Kunlun Continent, in Kunlun Continent, the wealth of the native people has been accumulated for thousands of years, and they love to use gold and silver to make utensils and accessories......"

"Most of them have no preference for silver, so the value of silver there is very low......"

Xu Jing counted the specialties of each country, the huge fleet, how he carried a shipload of goods, constantly traded with the local natives, and in the process of fighting, captured their spoils. Of course, there is also a huge benefit, which is the operation against the Francois sea vessels.

For example, all the ships that go from the Francophone to the four seas of the world, they often do not have much willingness to fight, because nine times out of ten, they are empty ships. The Franc ships were completely different when they sailed to the position of the Francs, which must have been loaded with gold, silver, and spices that they had plundered from the colonies, and if they caught one of them, there was no possibility of returning empty-handed.

Seventeen million taels.

The officials, all of them are as earth-colored.

They remembered that at the beginning, the hundred officials asked His Majesty to use the internal money to build a ship, and in the end, even the proceeds of this ship were also given to the palace.

And now, that's worth years of revenue.

Right now......

…………

Fang Jifan smiled happily at this time.

It's a shame, the reserves of Xishan Qianzhuang have fallen.

Come, all of you, come and run, how much does this cash want, how much.

Not only that, but the thousands of people who returned this time lost more than 30 million taels of silver, which is almost the same as everyone has a lot of money.

In the market, so much gold and silver suddenly appeared, and so many silver bills were issued, it was bound to cause inflation, and this time the scale of inflation may be even larger than in the past.

All of a sudden, there is more money, this price, it must rise, at this time, those damn landlords and old money, you continue to save money, the real money you store under the bed is getting cheaper day by day, when the time comes, either buy a house obediently, or deposit the silver in the bank, get interest, or ...... You can only invest.

Money in the hand is a dead thing, once people begin to identify the silver in their hands, it will only become cheaper and cheaper, and there is almost no other alternative currency, then, in order to seek to preserve the value, or to increase the value of the silver, the original saving habit will be completely broken.

Fang Jifan actually didn't care if the silver was his own, what he cared about was whether the silver would be deposited in Xishan Qianzhuang, and then it would be sent out as a silver ticket.

Think about it, on the market, a group of nouveau riche suddenly appeared.

They don't know anything about investing.

What will they do?

Buy a house.

These silvers were stored in Xishan Money Village, exchanged for silver tickets, and finally bought a house, how many people had food to eat?

Eventually, this silver flowed into Xishan Jianye, which became the salary of countless people and supported countless workshops......

Like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, silver flows endlessly inside the Ming Dynasty, turning into gorgeous residences, roads, railways, workshops, and countless commodities.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi was also excited and red: "Good, good, good, the Qing family Zhang Guowei, this immortal achievement, Zhuqing, look at it, look at it, look at Xu Qing's family, look at those who go to sea, they all say that people leave their hometowns and are cheap, but they go to the sea, they are looking for the mainland, in order to open a peace for the people, you look at them, how many hardships they have gone through, how many merits, Xu Qing's family, hard work is high, to be rewarded!" ”

The officials did not have the slightest jealousy of Xu Jing.

To put it bluntly, even if it is a great merit, this is really earned with blood and sweat, such a great credit is in front of you, the question is, who dares to follow Xu Jing to take it.

Xu Jing bowed down: "The minister is ashamed, the minister is just loyal to his duty!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "The Qing family doesn't have to be modest, Fang Jifan." ”

Fang Jifan said: "The minister is here." ”

"You master and apprentice, think about it, I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Fang Jifan said: "Yes, Erchen...... It's really ...... to be able to see Xu Jing again It's ......."

Fang Jifan choked up a little, thinking about it carefully, among the protégés, it was Xu Jing who was the real intimate little padded jacket, the grievances and hardships he suffered, and the other senior brothers were not worthy of carrying shoes.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and sighed: "You master and apprentice, let's talk about the old days, tomorrow, Xu Qing's family will continue to enter the palace, I want to listen carefully, what you have seen and heard overseas, I have said, whoever has great merit, I will not hesitate to reward, Xu Qing's family, peace of mind and other graces are." ”

Xu Jing kowtowed and said, "This minister does not disgrace his mission and returns the scepter." ”

He arched his scepter with both hands.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the already mottled scepter.

This is just a piece of bamboo, no matter how ordinary, just because of the tail hair of a yak, it has an unusual meaning.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Although you have returned to the country, but the affairs of the four seas, I still entrust Yu Qing, in the future, Qing still needs to go to sea, this staff in hand, seeing me like a face, Qing does not need to rush to return." ”

"This ......" Xu Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi puzzled.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "I set up the four seas to protect the palace, oversee the affairs of the four seas, govern the Western Ocean and the towns and ports of various countries, as well as the strongholds of various continents, command the overseas remnants, as well as the ships of the Ming Dynasty in the open sea, etc., this is the position of protection, I think about it, take Qing as the right, after Qing goes ashore, he will be my courtier, after going to the sea, I will patrol the Quartet, eradicate the unministers, form a good alliance, and act cheaply, this scepter is the letter I give you!" ”

Xu Jing was stunned.

The Four Seas Protectorate.

In fact, at the moment, it seems to be the control of the four seas, but in fact, it is not, because the overseas power is too small and too small, and if it is weak, it is not too much.

But...... Who knows, will there be tens of millions of Ming ships, and the places they pass through will be all Han land?

"Minister...... Obey! ”

Xu Jing bowed deeply.

…………

Chapter 3 is delivered.
