Chapter 1019: The Shock of Real Money

Although Zhang Zhijie gave Feng Haisheng this task at the beginning, he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Feng Haisheng and them to really get it.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It's not easy to really get the firearms of Westerners, right?" ”

Feng Haisheng smiled: "It's okay, it's not too difficult." Thanks to the arrival of a batch of high-quality porcelain, these Westerners are very fond of porcelain! In addition, only one of our fleets has gone to sea this year, so there is a shortage of goods! ”

It's really not as difficult as Zhang Zhijie thought, after all, these firearms are not a secret in Europe! Therefore, they did not take firearms very seriously, and they could only get them at the price of what made them happy.

Emperor Zhengde spent an unforgettable night on the warship, and then returned to the shore, and the mobilized carts also gathered on the dock.

After loading two hundred carts of silver and rare treasures on the ship, Zhang Zhijie was about to leave for Beijing, and Emperor Zhengde looked at the huge fleet at sea, a little reluctant.

Although Zhang Zhijie said a lot to him, he was not shocked to see it in person after all. The mighty fleet, the huge wealth, and the legendary overseas all aroused the ambition of the Zhengde Emperor.

After seeing this with his own eyes, he had secretly made up his mind that he must develop the fleet. Thinking of this vast 200 carts of silver, Emperor Zhengde felt full of confidence.

The fleet stayed in Tianjin temporarily, and there was no need for Zhang Zhijie to mention their rewards, and Emperor Zhengde had already boasted of a certain heavy reward.

Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde rushed to the capital with 2,000 elite horsemen and escorted 200 heavy carriages. And the soldiers and civilians of Tianjin finally knew that this turned out to be the fleet of the imperial court! When they learned the news, they were stunned and stunned.

When did the imperial court have such a large fleet? However, after thinking about it carefully, they finally remembered that the famous Admiral in the capital seemed to have gone south to organize some kind of fleet to go to sea!

At that time, there was an uproar in the south and in the court, could it be that this was the fleet that the Admiral had assembled? It's amazing!

But what really shocked them was the 200 carts! If it's 200 carts of goods, it's nothing, but it's 200 carts of silver!

Although they couldn't see what was in the cart, it was not very much, but it had deep ruts. Knowledgeable people recognized it at a glance, and the cart was pulled with silver!

Every cart pulls silver! How much silver is the silver of two hundred carts? Everyone who heard about it was half shocked and couldn't come back to their senses!

It is said that going to sea is very profitable, but a trip to sea is the silver of 200 carts, which is also crazy, right? Is it not overseas or invaluable assets? Drive the big ship directly to pull the silver.

Two hundred carts of silver drove through Tianjin, all the way to the capital. This scene brought a deep shock to the people of Tianjin.

These 200 carts will not only shock Tianjin, even the well-informed people in Beijing are shocked by these 2 million carts, the emperor went to Tianjin and pulled 200 carts of silver back to Beijing, which is really incredible.

Even the officials in the capital were stunned and stunned, the officials of the southern coastal system were better, and the officials of the non-coastal department were directly stunned.

Although we all know that going to sea is lucrative, I haven't seen it in person! Two hundred carts of silver, so it must be about two million taels of silver! You must know that the annual tax silver of the national treasury is only two or three million taels!

Zhang Zhijie made a fleet to go to sea, and brought back the equivalent of a year's tax silver in the entire Ming Dynasty! There are such huge profits overseas!

But they could only watch as the two hundred carts drove into the glass mill, and the silver had nothing to do with the treasury after all.

Now in the streets and alleys of Beijing, hundreds of officials of the imperial court, relatives of the emperor, and noble families, there is nothing else to talk about, all of them are overseas!

The entire capital became agitated, even more lively than Liu Ji giving birth to the eldest son of the royal family! On the same day, a hundred carts were pulled to the inner carrier, and when Emperor Zhengde returned to the leopard room, his mouth couldn't close with a smile! Now you don't have to worry about life.

But the atmosphere in Beijing is getting more and more enthusiastic, and many people are red-eyed, especially those royal relatives and noble families, who have seen Zhang Zhijie's fleet return with a full load when they go to sea, bringing back two million taels of silver, no wonder they are not red!

But the court is forbidden to the sea! Now only Zhang Zhijie has obtained the permission of Emperor Zhengde and has the right to go to sea, if the imperial court can open the sea ban.

It's just that they feel that this is a bit unrealistic, not to mention that the imperial court has banned the sea for more than 100 years, this rule has been deeply rooted, even Zhang Zhijie will definitely not agree to open the sea, after all, who doesn't want to monopolize overseas gold and silver?

So these royal relatives and nobles drooled, but they couldn't do it, they really didn't dare to provoke Zhang Zhijie. It is impossible to smuggle out to sea, and they all know that Zhang Zhijie is fighting and killing in the south, and he also goes to sea to suppress bandits. If they organize a fleet to go to sea without permission, if they are exterminated as pirates, it will be a great fun.

These people are really red in the end, since you Zhang Zhijie can get the permission of Emperor Zhengde to organize a fleet to go to sea, then why don't they try?

These royal relatives contacted them, and those princesses and the wives of the Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion began to run to the palace in turn, not only to see the Queen Mother in the palace, but also to the leopard room to see Liu Ji.

Just when the Queen Mother and Liu Ji were overwhelmed, Xu Sanye and others finally rushed all the way to Beijing. The first thing they had to do after entering Beijing was to visit the Hou Mansion!

They also knew about this journey into Beijing, and the fleet of the Admiral went to sea and brought 200 carts of silver. This caused an uproar in the realm of the capital, and Xu Sanye was a little apprehensive when they found out!

The fleet brought back so much silver at once, and everyone who saw it was very red-eyed, so could the Admiral still agree to open the sea? After all, if you don't open the sea, the Admiral can get 200 carts of silver every year, but if you open the sea, it's hard to say.

Therefore, they were afraid that the Admiral would change his mind because of this, and at the same time they were worried about another thing in their hearts! That is, I am afraid that more than half of the silver of the two hundred carts of the Admiral is the emperor, and the emperor will agree to open the sea when he sees that the fleet can get so much silver when it goes to sea?

At that time, even if the Admiral is afraid, it will not be easy to persuade the emperor to agree to open the sea, right? These people were in a hurry, and they were nervous, and they all lost a lot of weight.
