Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 910 The hero of the country

During the mid-autumn festival, when autumn is in full swing, the Eastern Exploration Fleet finally arrived in Jinling.Not to mention news from the north that the two ships returning from the same route also arrived in Japan safely.This can be described as complete.

On this day, Jinling Pier was crowded with people, with firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums noisy.Ruan Xiaoqi and his party could already feel the extraordinary enthusiasm even before they docked at the pier.

Emperor Lu greeted him in person, accompanied by all the officials, and Emperor Lubo was placed on the pier, so that he could be seen from a long distance away.Surrounded by palace guards and soldiers and horses of Xuanyi Yuqian with live ammunition.

"When we went, His Majesty brought hundreds of officials and people to see us off; when we returned, His Majesty brought hundreds of officials and people to welcome us. How can Lu Mou Hede get this honor? Even if he returns to Jiuquan today, he will have no regrets in this life!" Lu Renen was full of emotion Dao, Wen Qing is very angry.

Although he suffered a lot on the way to the east, seeing the emperor and his generals greet him like this, such courteous treatment, no amount of hardships turned into sweetness.

In the feudal dynasty, it was not easy to achieve such an achievement. Such a high courtesy can only be afforded by the meritorious soldiers who returned home in triumph. How can it not be exciting to treat like this?
Especially a scholar like Lu Renen.Literati are more emotional by nature.

Ruan Xiaoqi is standing on the bow of the boat at the moment, no one can stand in front of him, so no one can see the shame on his face.Taking advantage of the supplies in Guangzhou, Li Dao and Ruan Xiaoqili cooperated with each other and quietly sent more than 100 boxes of gold into the cabin of the ship without anyone noticing.Combined with the gold they got in America, this amount is enough to drive the common people crazy, so that the entire Central Plains will never forget the word "America".

But this is cheating.

Huo Yanluo was a little ashamed in his heart, he was so annoyed that he should have dealt with it in the first place, severely repaired those nonsense Native Americans, and snatched back all the gold in their hands...

Instead of exchanging the silk, porcelain and the few pitiful coppers, gold and silverware and glassware carried by the ship with those uncivilized natives, although the huge profit had surprised Ruan Xiaoqi at that time Extremely, but now that I think about it, can he do business without money?

Those natives don't even have ironware, no, they don't even see bronzeware, and they don't like ironware. The wizards there think ironware is ominous.The latter's favorite must be gold!
Facing the force on the ship, it is simply impossible to resist.

Those indigenous stone civilizations are very developed, and obsidian is also very sharp, but this kind of power is like a little rabbit challenging a tiger in front of Ruan Xiaoqi, and the two sides are not in the same dimension at all.Even though there were only a thousand people on board the twelve ships, and only 800 people could fight, the ceiling of the Native Americans' force was too low.Ruan Xiaoqi wore his armor and stood there, allowing the natives' weapons to poke and chop him. They were so exhausted that they could not even hurt him.

At that time, I really should wipe my face off and put it in my pocket, and just grab it all the way.In this way, there is no need to cheat now!

Time passed quickly to Ruan Xiaoqi's chagrin. Ten ships docked on the dock pier one after another, and deafening cheers rang out throughout the dock area.

The East Exploration Fleet, which has been buzzing in Jinling City for several months, has finally returned.So these people have traveled thousands of miles and spent years, what did they bring back?

In the land to the east of the vast ocean, is there a prosperous country like the Central Plains, with dense population?

After several months of publicity and preaching, the Secretary of Xuanzheng continued to intervene in it, so that the people in Jinling City all understood the meaning of "New World".What is going on there is closely related to the interests of countless people.

"Boom boom boom..." A gun salute was fired, and the drums were full of music.

Fujiwara Yoshino looked at the forts around the pier with fiery eyes.These are all cannons, military weapons.This powerful weapon of the country is now used as a welcome etiquette. It is really, really a 'luxury' that people can't express in words!

In the ocean of celebration, Fujiwara Yoshino was naturally not at all happy. He gritted his teeth and immersed himself in his own world until Konoe Fumada patted his shoulder violently.

“Gold! All gold!”

"Ah, so much gold! How much does it cost?"

"This Jinshan is bigger than last time. These, these are all brought from America?"

Lu Qian has already announced the naming of America, because Wang Yangzhi entrusted his good wishes.Therefore, named America.

"It must be, otherwise how did the Marquis of Yanzhou [Ruan Xiaoqi's title] get so much gold?"

"There is so much gold in this Mingzhou, isn't it a wonderful thing that gold is everywhere?"

The explosive popularity of the topic had a sensational effect in the entire Jiangnan, and then the news quickly spread in all directions like ripples on the water.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Now the onlookers on the pier are all excited.They were still wondering how big is the land in the east of the ocean?Lu Qian explained some things to his women and children, but the news would not spread to the people.During these days, people have been speculating about how big the land in the "East of the Ocean" is?Some people think that it is at most an overseas desert island, just like the northernmost Ezo Island of the four Japanese islands, or Borneo in Southeast Asia, at most it is bigger.

Some people also think that it will be a continent, which is not weaker than Middle Earth.

But no one thought that Ruan Xiaoqi and his party would actually bring back so much gold, piled up in one piece, this is completely a gold mountain.All of a sudden, countless people believed that the land of the East of Wangyang was a fertile land for the boss.

Americans are so rich and rich!

Jinshan is not a copper mountain, especially since this Jinshan fell directly into the hands of the government, it can be said that its role can be maximized.

In the blink of an eye, it is tens of millions of silver dollars!

How much is Lu Qi's annual tax in total?

Sending a few ships there for about a year can bring back so much gold. Is there really a gold mountain in this America?
Everyone saw an unbelievable and unforgettable scene on the pier!
Each mouth is like a crocodile.No one doubted that the gold was fake, and no one suspected that Emperor Lu was cheating. They all believed in the authenticity of gold, and they all believed in the richness of America and the fact that there are mountains of gold in America.

The attraction of wealth is unquestionable, and the word "America" ​​at this moment will be forever engraved in the memory of the Chinese people.

But in fact, except for Ruan Xiaoqi and a few people, most people in the Eastern Exploration Fleet are also obsessed with gold at this moment.

The trade between the expedition and the Native Americans is well-known for its huge profits, but no one expected to earn so much gold.Thinking about the amount of gold exchanged for your ship, it seems to be only a small part compared to the gold in front of you.But the status of these people can't touch the "general ledger", and thinking of the sum of gold that Ruan Xiaoqi took out from the boat in exchange for a few small mirrors, everyone also thinks that the sudden extra gold All from Ruan Xiaoqichuan.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Amidst the crowd's shouts, Lu Qian appeared on the stage and brought all the civil and military officials to greet him in person.

The gleaming gold did not attract his attention. Ruan Xiaoqi and his team in the Americas had not bad income. After deducting the more than one hundred boxes of gold, the gold in front of them still amounted to 60 million taels.

The transactions with Native Americans are really huge profits. Those glassware, as well as a small mirror, as well as porcelain and silk, are all profitable in the exchange.

60 million taels of gold will be reduced after purification, but at least 40 taels, right?That's a lot of money.Not to mention that Ruan Xiaoqi and the others brought back many crops from the Americas.

Not to mention anything else, just a single tobacco, how much benefit can Lu Qian bring?

"Haha, Qilang, you've come back after years of absence!"

When Ruan Xiaoqi saw Lu Qian hurriedly salute, he really didn't expect this welcoming ceremony to be so grand. "Minister Ruan Xiaoqi pays homage to His Majesty! This trip is thousands of miles east, although the journey is turbulent, but fortunately, the mission is fulfilled. I have explored the vast land, which stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, and it is as vast as the middle land. Interacting with the natives, Bringing back more than a million taels of gold, and dozens of local varieties..."

This is not for Lu Qian to hear, but for the people and ministers around him.

Lu Qian helped him up. "Brother Qilang, this contribution is comparable to that of Zhang Qian who went westward in the past and hollowed out the Western Regions. He is the hero who helped our country."

This compliment was truly incredible. Ruan Xiaoqi immediately said: "I don't dare to take any credit. This matter all depends on your Majesty's guidance. I went there as ordered, just like following the map, and now I have returned with a full load, just like the water flowing in, everything is done. How can I do it?" Yi Ye..."
