Not only did he bring back a ship full of exotic goods, but what surprised Su Jin even more was that there were envoys from the three kingdoms of Huni, Great Qin, and Persia who came with the ship to worship the rich Great Song Empire in the east with national letters and gifts.

Su Jin knew that the arrival of these envoys with the ship would cause a sensation in the court, although Zhao Zhen was not a person who was very happy, but the foreign countries came to the court, indicating that he, the emperor, would govern the country well, and he would definitely be overjoyed.

Su Jin deliberately postponed the trip, met with everyone, talked about the customs and customs on the road and several dangerous places, and couldn't help but be leisurely and surprised; It turned out that after the fleet set off, it encountered a storm in the deep sea, and the monstrous waves almost capsized the fleet, but fortunately, God blessed the ships after the storm, although there was a small damage, there was no major situation; The only thing to worry about was that the storm had blown the ship away from course, and the ship's crew and guide were not veterans, and it took many days to find the right route again, which was one reason for the delay.

Arriving at the ports of the countries along the way, the local Tibetan people were extremely hospitable to these distant visitors, and the king and ministers greeted them as honored guests, so they were delayed by some ceremonial things, but fortunately, there were hardships and joys along the way, and finally the heavens followed people's wishes.

The joy in Su Jin's heart is not only these, the significance of this merchant voyage is not as simple as bringing back sixteen ships of goods, this time the passage has been opened, and the connection between the western country of Tibet has been established, and the future commercial trade and political exchanges will be closer, in this era, the Great Song Dynasty is probably the richest country in the world, most of the countries of Tibet are in a period of barbarism and backwardness, and the success of this voyage will undoubtedly bring more benefits to the Great Song Dynasty.

What kind of positive impact there is, Su Jin can't say for a while, but there is one thing Su Jin is extremely proud of, this ocean voyage is hundreds of years earlier than the three treasure eunuchs of later generations to go to the Western Ocean, this is already a pioneering achievement, if time and space are not distorted, in the future future generations of history books will have his Su Ji ocean-going merchant ships to the Western Ocean deeds remaining, but I don't know how future generations will evaluate such a voyage.

Pan Heng a day later, Su Jin took the envoys of the three kingdoms of mud, Daqin and Persia to the capital, and several of Su Ji's mothers stayed in Mingzhou to command the people to unload the goods and classify the registration, and the prices were shipped to various places for sale. After that, it will be sold.

A rough estimate of the gross profit of this trip, several housewives of the Su family are full of tongues, the value of the goods brought by this trip is more than 8 million, and the food and labor reward of the people who come and go is 1.5 million yuan, and the total cost is less than 10 million, but the value of the goods in exchange is as high as five times, that is, the gross profit is 40 million yuan, which is really a dizzying hunger number.

Taking ambergris as an example, each cake Su Ji is exchanged for ten catties of tea leaves and ten ceramic bowls, and the cost is only about five and five hundred yuan, and the price of ambergris is as high as 100 yuan in the Great Song Dynasty, and the price of the superior quality is as high as 100 yuan, and the second is at least 70 or 80 yuan a cake, and the huge profit is more than ten or twenty times; Of course, there are other commodities with two or three times the profit, and under the mutual hedging, the average is about five times; Su Ji's adventure this time has been enough to cover the sum of all the profits of all Su Ji's industries in a year, the women of the Su family didn't understand why Su Jin took the risk of squeezing out tens of millions of dollars to build a fleet of sailing profits under the extremely tight situation of money and silver, and this time I realized that there was such a huge profit in it, no wonder it was worth taking a risk, not to mention five times the profiteering, it was one or two times, with Su Jin's character, he would also give it a try.

Yan Biyun knew that Su Ji bravely took this step before traveling the world, and soon there would be tens of millions of businessmen flocking to him, and with the import of foreign goods in the future, the profits would not be so rich, so she quickly organized people to sell this batch of goods quickly, she discussed with Su Jin, and after the returnees rested for three months, they would immediately make a second voyage, and they must catch up with a large number of businessmen before the cake of overseas trade, and make a big profit in the time difference, from then on, The Su family will undoubtedly become the richest family in the Great Song Dynasty, with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Su Jin greatly appreciated Yan Biyun's courage, even he didn't expect that the opening of the trade route would lead to a decrease in the windfall profits of foreign goods, but Yan Biyun suddenly saw through the future trend, he was a traverser, and the windfall profits of overseas trade were not discovered until today, and the consequences of opening the waterway were not very good.

Su Jin raised his hands to agree with Yan Biyun's proposal, he has always been just a guide, such as silver villages, mines and other industries, he only knows that these are profitable, so he opened it with enthusiasm, but in fact, there is no Yan Biyun to help him improve his mistakes in the back, and give inferences to the management and management corrections, I am afraid that he would have lost to his grandmother's house a long time ago; This time, of course, Yan Biyun followed behind the design, and Su Jin had to hurry to the capital with the envoys of the Fan State, and the inner servants who came to deliver the decree were in a hurry, this Lord Su didn't seem to take the emperor's holy decree seriously at all, and the arrival of the holy decree was still delayed for a day, so he really dared to go to heaven.

But this kind of muttering was quickly suppressed by a few good Nanzhu given by Su Jin, eunuchs love money, which is unbreakable, not to mention the precious Nanzhu, Nanzhu kicked in his pocket, and even the messenger who had never enjoyed some kind of pleasure had an unprecedented orgasm.

The people go north is to build half of the national highway line, the development and reform division of the national highway under construction two vertical and two horizontal in the shape of a tic-tac-toe distribution, from Mingzhou to the west through the south of the Yangtze River east and west two roads through the Jinghu North Road is named ' National Highway Horizontal Second Line's Road, after nearly a year of construction, although the National Highway has not been completed, but has begun to take shape, the Department of Development and Reform requires this road to be ten zhang wide, the foundation must be gravel, the top is paved with fired green bricks, can not be like the official road of the Great Song Dynasty in the past is just rammed earth leveling, and then sprinkled with gravel, after a long time, the ruts are like ditches, potholes are like ravines and vertical mountains, if you encounter rain and snow weather, don't want to pass at all.

Of course, the required specifications are so high, the price is naturally expensive, Su Jin once joked in the court, the four national highways are paved with copper coins one by one, and the cost is huge; Now it seems that such an investment is definitely worth it, in the line from Mingzhou to Hongzhou, the road paving is basically completed, the wide blue brick avenue is straight and open, the ditches are dug on both sides to drain the water, and the trees are planted neatly, and people and horses walk on it, and the distance of a hundred miles a day is very pleasant.

The accompanying envoys of the Kingdom of Fan could not close their mouths along the way, even calling Allah Allah God to appear and the like, Su Jin was quite complacent, and the envoys expressed their highest respect to Su Jin when they learned through a simple interpretation that these roads were built under the auspices of the young official in front of them.

Go to Jinghu North Road Jiangling Mansion and turn to the north, then turn onto the longitudinal line of the national highway, this is the earliest national highway to build, and it is also a national highway that is close to completion, because he goes straight to Bianliang Kyoto, traces back to the Pearl City, runs through the north and south eight roads in the west of the Great Song Dynasty, and this roadside alone costs more than 20 million yuan.

After getting on the vertical line, the team moved more quickly, along the way you can see the intersection of official highways and national highways and waterways, the newly built market entrances have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the mule and horse caravans loaded with goods on the national highway are extremely busy in the south and north, and the convenience of transportation has promoted the prosperity of commerce, although all this is expected by Su Jin, but after seeing it with his own eyes, it still makes Su Jin extremely excited.

On the evening of April 11, Su Jin and his entourage returned to the capital, and before they sat down, an explosive news had reached Su Jin's ears, and Su Jin understood that Zhao Zhen was in a hurry to recall himself to the capital.
