The human heart is made of flesh.
The same goes for Fang Jifan!
No matter how scumbag Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo are, it is human nature for even a dog to say a few nice words and flatter them against their will even if they know that they are going to be miserable.
People are about to die.
¡° Circumventing the Kunlun Continent from the Western Ocean to reach the Golden Continent is a completely different concept than crossing the entire Pacific Ocean from the west coast of the Golden Continent.
??Taking the current ships as an example.
Crossing the Pacific Ocean is nothing less than an act of seeking death.
The Pacific Ocean is vast and vast, and it is almost impossible to stop for supplies along the way. If we take the Arctic Circle route during the Little Ice Age, it is almost equivalent to asking for death.
And in the Pacific, the storms are more violent and the weather is changeable. In short, there is almost no difference between this and death.
The only thing you can pray for is luck.
Poor Shouning Hou and Jian Chang Bo, at this moment God knows whether they are dead or alive. Fang Jifan could only mourn in his heart for these two guys who would definitely die in the future even if they were not dead now.
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face was stiff, but after hearing Fang Jifan¡¯s words, he still managed to smile: ¡°Yes, these two people are role models, enough for all ministers to imitate them.¡±
The officials saw that Fang Jifan's expression was not good-looking. After all, they had seen the map of the world. From west to east this this, the map of the Three Treasure Eunuchs had now been proven to be generally correct. So, they wanted to travel through , is a vast ocean, narrow escape from death.
Everyone is dead, how can you have the nerve to say anything bad?
Just like the evaluation of historical figures, when people are alive, they are hated by those who are oppressed, but once they die, people become tolerant and always like to find some good things in this scum to make themselves appear objective. Some.
"The two uncles are good people" Someone said with emotion: "They are usually very simple and simple, and their frugal housekeeping is worthy of our imitation."
"Yes, yes, I usually treat people kindly, but from time to time, I will post a message to invite people to a banquet. Such hospitable people are rare anymore."
"Not seen often, not seen often anymore."
Everyone began to recall the shining points of the two uncles.
So much so that Fang Jifan felt that these two guys had become saints.
Of course, one must look forward in life. After a brief recollection, Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xu Jing: "Xu Qing family, continue talking."
Xu Jingdao: "I carried out trade with various countries along the way. I went to the southern part of Kunlun Continent and other places, and exchanged a large amount of treasures with the natives. I also captured many French ships. At the same time, I conducted trade with the natives in places such as Golden Continent. Trade, among other things, war with certain hostile natives, and the gains wereremarkable."
As soon as he heard the word "feiran", Emperor Hongzhi's eyebrows jumped.
Xu Jing said seriously: "The specific amount is still being calculated, but I can guarantee that the value of the jewelry, spices, gold, and silver brought this time is far above fifty million taels of silver."
""
Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.
Fifty million taels of silver.
"In addition to the rewards that should be given to the sailors and sailors who went out, the remaining amount turned over to the inner treasury is only 17 million taels."
Seventeen million taels.
Emperor Hongzhi remembered clearly that the amount of silver stored in his inner treasury was 13,726,221 taels of silver, and this time, his income more than doubled. Putting aside the dividends given to Fang Jifan"
Earn, this is a sale of Wanli.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "Why are there so many."
"Your Majesty, in the past five years, ships have brought silk and porcelain to the sea from the Ming Dynasty. The more ships there are, the more goods there are. After passing through the Western Ocean, they can sell a large number of them and exchange them for gold, silver, spices, and ivory. From then on, we can continue As far as Tianzhu, the people of Tianzhu have a lot of gold and silver. They love silk very much. 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 and priceless. Continent, in Kunlun Continent, the wealth of the native people has been accumulated for thousands of years, and they like 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 extremely low"
Xu Jing detailed the specialties of each country, how the huge fleet carried shiploads of goods, constantly traded with the local natives, and captured their spoils of war during the war. Of course, there is another huge benefit, which is targeting??, but I still entrust you with the affairs of the four seas. In the future, you will still need to go to sea. With this staff in your hand, you can see me like your face. You don't have to be in a hurry to return it. "
"This" Xu Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi puzzled.
Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "I have set up the Protectorate of the Four Seas to take charge of the affairs of the four seas. I have jurisdiction over the Western Ocean and the towns and ports of various countries, as well as strongholds in various continents. I also command the overseas remnants and the Ming Dynasty ships in the outer seas. This is the duty of the Protector. After thinking about it, I think you are the right one. After you go ashore, you will become my minister. After you go to the sea, you will patrol the four directions on my behalf, eradicate the disloyal ministers, make good alliances with the countries, and do whatever is convenient. This scepter is what I give to you. The talisman!"
Xu Jing was stunned.
The Protectorate of the Four Seas.
What the Protectorate of the Four Seas controls is nothing more than the fleet, ports and strongholds everywhere. In fact, at the moment, it seems to control the four seas, but in fact, it is not the case, because the overseas power is too small. It's too small. It would be an exaggeration to think that it is weak.
But who knows, will there ever be a time when the Ming Dynasty's ships will have tens of millions, and everything they pass will be Han territory?
"Iobey the order!"
Xu Jing bowed deeply.
