Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 441, bring back 3000 million taels of wealth

Inside the port of Tianjin, the whole scene was silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the gold piled higher and higher on the pier.

Golden light is shining, that is the most charming color in the world.

Box after box of gold is still being moved out, piled up into a pile, one pile for each ship, a total of ten piles.

"Hurry up and weigh it ~ see how many there are."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and said excitedly.

"Yes~"

Du Mingen quickly replied respectfully, and soon, a staff member from Tianjin Port came over with a scale and began to weigh the gold.

At the same time, after moving the gold, the crew has not stopped. Although there is a lot of gold here in the Golden Continent, the quantity is still limited in general. It is impossible to say that all ten ships are really filled. Or silver.

In later generations, Central America and Mexico were the most important silver-producing areas in the world. In the early days of European colonization, Spain and Portugal plundered the most gold and silver in Central America.

As for the gold on the west coast of North America, it was slowly developed several centuries later.

After moving the gold, boxes and boxes of silver began to be brought out, and they were also placed on the open space of the pier according to Liu Jin's instructions. The silver was all in the shape of silver bars, cast in very large pieces, and each piece was like a brick. Big and very heavy.

However, when the crew carried it, they were all smiles. According to the fulfilled agreement, [-]% of all the gains from this trip belonged to the crew.

How much wealth they brought back from the Golden Continent, I am afraid that no one knows now. Anyway, when they were in Central America, when they traded with descendants of wealthy merchants, the first thing they received was gold, followed by silver, and they directly packed all ten ships Man, almost because I won’t be able to reach Daming this time.

All the sacrifices were worthwhile, and [-]% of the wealth brought back belonged to the crew like them, and there was no problem with a few thousand taels of silver.

It took more than a year to go to the Golden Island to earn thousands of taels of silver. This is definitely an overnight fortune.

Thousands of taels of silver are enough for them to live their entire lives without worrying about food and clothing, and they can become rich.

"Oh my god, how much money is there~"

As box after box of silver was moved out, it was soon piled up on the pier, and the people eating melons in the port area couldn't help but exclaimed again.

Looking at the piles of gold and the silver that is still piled up, everyone's eyes turned red.

How much wealth did they bring back?

This is the question on the mind of almost everyone present.

"1 gold~"

It's very busy here at the pier.

The weight was divided into several groups, and they were weighing at the same time. While weighing, someone was counting continuously. When the number of [-] taels was reached, the person who weighed would shout out loudly.

"It's only 1 taels. It looks like this pile contains at least [-] taels of gold."

Hearing the sound, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ran over to have a look, and said with a grin.

"Even if it's one hundred thousand taels, these ten ships brought back almost one million taels of gold, and the gold alone is worth tens of millions of taels of silver."

Liu Jin looked at it carefully, made some calculations, and immediately couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The reserves of gold are very rare, and the gold in Daming is even more rare. In history, some gold mines have already been mined out, and in addition, the princes and nobles in history all like to use gold as a treasure. Funeral goods, so gold is definitely very rare in Daming.

Many people can even say that they have never seen gold in their entire lives.

"It's so-so, it's just tens of millions of taels of silver~"

After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he curled his lips and said, he is rich and powerful now, he is very rich, even tens of millions of taels of silver is just average in his mouth.

"There is still a lot of silver, I guess this silver is more~"

Liu Jin couldn't help but smile.

In fact, just as Liu Jin expected, boxes and boxes of silver were constantly being moved out of the cabin, as if they would never be finished.

On the pier, the silver that was moved out quickly piled up like a small mountain. The silver light is shining, which looks very cute. At the same time, there are a bunch of small golden mountains next to it. The two kinds of light complement each other and become the entire port. Focus.

Everyone in the port watched, their eyes flushed.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold~"

At this time, the person in charge of weighing the gold shouted again. When everyone heard it, they looked again and saw that the gold was almost finished weighing. This ship brought back more than one hundred thousand taels of gold. One million taels of silver.

There were ten ships, each of which was equipped with similar equipment, and the gold alone was worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold!"

The melon-eating crowd in the port couldn't help but marvel.

This ship brought back more than [-] taels of gold, worth millions of taels of silver. Everyone's mind was filled with silver, countless silver, golden gold, and silver shining silver.

In the era when copper coins were used as currency, gold worth tens of millions of taels of silver suddenly appeared. It is conceivable that everyone in the port was shocked at this time.

This is like a future generation who suddenly piles up tens of billions of banknotes in front of you. Everyone will be shocked and wish to have such a huge wealth.

The gold and silver brought back were really too much, and the people who weighed and weighed were all sweating profusely. After weighing the gold, they began to weigh the silver again.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver~"

"[-] taels of silver~"

"One million taels of silver~"

When the number was shouted, all the silver in the boat had been moved out, but only half of it had been weighed.

The final figure is that one ship brought back more than two million taels of silver and more than one hundred thousand taels of gold. Calculated, this ship brought back gold and silver worth almost three million taels of silver.

The ten big blessing boats brought back almost [-] million taels of silver in total!
"The total value is almost thirty million taels of silver!"

Finally, such a number was obtained, and Liu Jin was also shouted out loudly.

Well, night travel in Jinyi is definitely not our style of doing things. Naturally, we have to publicize it loudly and let people all over the world know that we have made a fortune overseas. Only in this way can more people go overseas to pursue wealth.

Whether it's going fishing or doing business, Liu Jin has always used this method to tell you simply and rudely how much benefit there is, and it's up to you whether to do it or not.

There is no doubt that the effect is naturally leveraged. Now that the fishing industry, maritime trade industry, and various factories can flourish, it is actually a trend of interest.

Everyone can clearly see the amazing benefits contained in it. Similarly, as long as anyone who enters can taste the sweetness of the primitive accumulation of capital, he will be full of motivation.

"Thirty million taels of silver!"

In the port, everyone who heard this number was dumbfounded, and all of them opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

What is the concept of thirty million taels of silver? In terms of the current tax and silver income of the imperial court, this is almost equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the imperial court for six years. What a huge fortune this is.

At this moment, everything is in front of everyone's eyes. The injections in pairs of eyes are exaggerated bit by bit, without any falsehood.

Thirty million taels of wealth, just over a year, ten ships, and more than a thousand people, they actually brought back thirty million taels of wealth.

This is unbelievable, unbelievable, but it happened in front of your eyes, making everyone's mind full of money.

"Golden Continent~Golden Continent, everywhere is gold~"

At this moment, what Liu Jin said came to everyone's mind.

In the past, everyone always thought that Liu Jin might be bragging, probably exaggerating, but at this moment, everyone believed it. Looking at the mountains of gold and silver in the port in front of them, no one would say that Liu Jin was talking nonsense anymore.

"I'm going to the Golden Continent~ I'm going to the Golden Continent~"

At the same time, in the hearts of these people, there was a voice that kept shouting.

Ten ships, more than [-] people, just over a year, the wealth brought by this is too huge, which makes people jealous, and makes people wish to organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent immediately, and bring back endless wealth. Wealth comes back.

People who have such thoughts are not only the lowest level people, there are many people watching the excitement here in the port area, including court officials, big businessmen, big landlords, and gentry, these people are also like this at this time Thinking about it, I wish I could have a few ships now, take some crew and go to the Golden Island.

This wealth is too huge, so huge that it is suffocating.

Who would have thought that with just these few broken ships, how they recruited people would bring back a huge wealth worth thirty million taels of silver after going out for more than a year.

Such a huge amount of wealth is not only given to individuals, but even if it is placed in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the imperial court will become rich overnight, and the treasury will be filled to the brim.

"Thirty million taels~so-so, so-so~"

Even Zhu Houzhao, a big capitalist, said with a big grin.

"Thirty million taels of silver, the wave of wealth in the colonial era, we can finally cut off a large piece, as long as we defeat the Europeans here in America, we Chinese descendants can monopolize the fertile America."

"If we can occupy Southeast Asia and Australia again, the entire Pacific Ocean will become the inner lake for our Chinese descendants."

Liu Jin couldn't help sighing for a while, and then couldn't help but think so in his mind.

Turning the Pacific Ocean into an inner lake for the descendants of the Chinese people is something unimaginable, but now it seems that this possibility is not impossible. If you monopolize the Americas and Australia, and then occupy Nanyang and Luzon, the Pacific Ocean is the inner lake for the descendants of the Chinese people. lake.

"The next step is to develop in Southeast Asia and Luzon."
