Chapter 1,144 The vast trophies
Boxes of gems were carried by soldiers onto a carriage.
The soldiers who had just got off the train stood one by one, lined up to the palace gate, and drove an unobstructed road for the carriage.
At the same time, for the sake of safety, I was afraid that someone would be brave enough to rob the royal things!
The gold and silver and gems were heavy, and it was already very difficult to load a few boxes of the carriage, so the coachman rushed towards the palace.
The first carriage has arrived at the national treasury, and the train has not been unloaded yet, and the soldiers are still carrying the two of them down in boxes. You can imagine how many spoils there will be!
The soldiers kept carrying the boxes down, and Zhang Han also worked back and forth.
I reminded my feet, arranged to load the car, and asked the soldiers to be careful when going down the stairs.
I ran back and forth inside and outside, for fear of a mistake.
If you don’t know, you would think that the soldiers were carrying his belongings!
Wang Li and others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
He, the Minister of Revenue, is really dedicated to his duties!
When the people on the street saw this, they stood behind the soldiers and watched the fun.
"Yo? What is this for? Why are you so big?"
"I don't know? Why are so many carriages going back and forth?"
"What rare things are contained in the box on the carriage? They actually need so many soldiers to protect..."
The people were curious when they saw carriages running in succession.
"This scene is even more spectacular than when Nanyang was first developed, the scene of transporting spices to the Ministry of Revenue was not there?"
"That's for sure, haven't you heard of it? The army led by General Han has already entered the city in batches. If you guess correctly, these boxes are either the soldiers' belongings or the spoils of this battle.
!”
"Tripped away? Why don't I know? If it were a large army of triumphants, shouldn't those steam ships be parked in the Wei River? It would definitely cause a huge sensation. It is impossible for there to be no news in the city?"
"Hi! The Wei River is frozen, why are you still stopping in Wei River? I heard that the soldiers took the train and returned to Xianyang in batches!"
"Yes, I've heard about this too..."
Several well-informed people have guessed what is in the box through the information they have obtained.
"What can be protected by the soldiers so much is definitely not a personal item!"
"That's right, look, there are only three or four boxes on each carriage. The things inside are definitely not light, and they are probably trophy!"
"Yes, yes, surely!"
"Didn't it mean that there are almost no civilizations on those islands, they are all indigenous people? Where did the spoils come from?"
"The spoils do not necessarily have to be famous calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver ingots! Have you forgotten the Nanyang period? There are so many gems that the size of eggs can be exchanged for by the soldiers with just one old dress!"
"You are right. Although there are no famous calligraphy and paintings overseas, there are still many gems exposed on the surface. In the past two years, it is possible for 100,000 soldiers to obtain these spoils!"
"Good guy! If the box contains gems, how much does it cost...?"
After some analysis, the people were able to basically determine what was in the box and couldn't help but take a breath.
How much is it worth with so much gold, silver and jewelry?
Incalculable!
It's impossible to estimate at all!
One thing is certain, the court will become rich in the future. Even if the area is affected, the court will have money to provide disaster relief!
The carriage walked in a mighty afternoon, and it was not finished until night fell.
When the last carriage entered the palace and the palace gate was closed, the soldiers completed the task and returned to the military camp to report!
That night, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the generals and soldiers who went to war.
Han Xin took this opportunity to present the military merits of this expedition, and was viewed by Ying Feiyu and Ying Zheng.
"Okay, OK! Haha!"
Ying Zheng smiled heartily after seeing it.
Ying Feiyu nodded with satisfaction.
The soldiers made great contributions this time, so they had to consider the rewards carefully, so they only drink and have fun tonight. The rewards must be discussed with the court officials after a while before making a decision!
"It's great. From now on, the sunny places will be the Great Qin, and no foreign race will dare to invade our Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and squinted his eyes and laughed.
Seven years ago, he really didn't dare to think about it.
It is already a big deal to be able to destroy the Huns!
"Yes, the people will be able to live a good life in the future!"
Ying Feiyu was also very happy.
Not to mention whether there will be internal strife, at least the tragedy of massacre in later generations will not happen again!
His time travel is not in vain!
Before he arrived at the palace, his wish was to rely on the system and live a stable life with his mother, and he could be rich.
By chance, he came to the palace and got to where he is today step by step.
Think about it, it's really amazing!
"I wish you a cup!"
Ying Feiyu is not interested in wine and rarely toast. Today's move is rare.
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
Han Xin and the soldiers stood up one after another, bowed and drank it all in one go.
Then the courtiers began to flatter and inquire about Han Xin and others, and the atmosphere suddenly opened.
Fan Kuai and Peng Yue even held wine glasses and boasted to everyone with passion.
The soldiers brought out by Wang Ben surrounded Wang Li and asked him to tell him about the situation overseas!
The whole banquet lasted until the second half of the night before it ended.
As expected, Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others were carried back to the house again.
The next morning court was just off, and everyone didn't sober up. You can't just go to the morning court with alcohol, right?
Ying Feiyu and those young people had nothing to do, and they still had morning court on time.
The civil officials were not able to drink enough, so they started to eat after drinking a few glasses, and did not delay the morning court.
"Sir, please see Your Majesty..."
When Ying Feiyu appeared in the Qilin Hall wearing a black and red dragon robe, all the officials bowed and bowed.
What accompanies him is no longer Jingfu, but Mingde.
When Ying Zheng abdicated, Jing Fu, as a personal eunuch, must have to retreat with him.
Instead, it fulfilled Mingde.
Before he followed Ying Feiyu, he was an ordinary eunuch in the palace who could not be more ordinary, and any older one could step on it.
No one expected that once he was assigned to Guanghua Hall, he would become a success. In a few years, he rushed directly to the emperor's personal eunuch.
No matter how the eunuch is in the palace, he has to nod and bow when he sees him, and no one dares to act rashly!
"Everyone is exempt from gifts!"
Ying Feiyu waved to the ministers and officially started the morning court.
"I'll tell you that over the years, our Qin Dynasty has finally unified the entire world, which is a gratifying congratulations!"
"Yes! During this period, in addition to His Majesty's leadership and the invention of thermal weapons, General Han and others also made great contributions!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I suggest that you reward General Han and others for their merits..."
Knowing that Han Xin, Wang Li and others are all Ying Feiyu's confidants, they will definitely be loyal ministers of the court in the future. Faking them is equivalent to currying about His Majesty.
Therefore, as soon as the morning court began, a courtier came out and bowed to report.
"No hurry!"
The reward must be sealed, but this matter must be considered slowly. Ying Feiyu has not yet decided what position to give Han Xin and others.
"Your Majesty, now overseas has been cleaned up. Is there no need for me, Daqin, to retain so many troops, so that the soldiers can return to their hometowns and develop agriculture and production?"
The ministers who had been seeking credit for Han Xin and others had just been included in the list, and the old censor Ning Xingwang came out to report the report.
You know, the ordinary army of Daqin alone has more than one million people.
If we add the newly trained navy in recent years, there will be almost 1.5 million people.
There are also garrisons from various places, with almost two million people!
With the development of the Qin Dynasty, the treatment of soldiers has also made a qualitative leap.
Even if you have no military merits, you will receive a certain salary every month.
The court paid a large sum of salaries to these two million troops every month.
In addition, all families who joined the army were exempt from agricultural taxes, and the court invisibly reduced some of its income!
Now that the world is peaceful, there is no need to use so many troops.
For the expenses of the court, he proposed to lay off part of it!
"disarmament?"
Chapter completed!
