No one can resist the temptation of spices, not just the petty officials.

Even the ministers in the court were looking anxiously!

"Now that the navy has returned, it has proved that Nanyang has countless wealth. Can we take a trip?"

"Well! I think so too. Didn't the young master say it before? The imperial court will not restrict anyone from going to Nanyang! On the contrary, it will encourage people to go to Nanyang and turn the land of Nanyang into the land of our Great Qin!

"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's leave as soon as possible? I heard that several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment often get together recently, probably to discuss Nanyang affairs!"

"Hey! That's inevitable. Not only are they studying Nanyang now, but officials from several other ministries are also studying it. Even the rich families in Xianyang City are also thinking about Nanyang and want to get a share of the pie!"

"Then... what should the crew do? None of our family members know how to drive a steamship!"

"This is easy to handle. There is a boy in my family. He said a few days ago that he was going to take a leave of absence to go home and take care of his brother. Only after I came back these two days did I find out that his brother is a worker in the shipyard. He accidentally bumped into me while he was working.

I got a compensation and returned it, so we can hire someone to sail the boat!"

"Haha! Great, as long as someone can drive a boat, everything else is easy!"

Wang Bi, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others got together and hit it off immediately.

They had already been thinking about the spices from Nanyang before, and even brought gifts to Xiao Zhengtai's villa.

After asking everything, wait for the navy to come back to see the results.

As soon as the spices are collected, they will send a ship immediately!

A steamship can harvest one hundred thousand kilograms of spices, which can be sold for at least one million gold.

You can get your money back in one trip, what a bargain!

The same goes for wealthy private households, who are beginning to have ideas about Nanyang!

There is no way, the temptation is too great!

The shipyard, which had been deserted before, suddenly became lively!

The first ones to arrive were naturally Wang Bi, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and others.

They are now extremely rich and have no shortage of money. Each of them comes to Huang Yuan with a million gold in silver notes in his arms!

"Does the shipyard still have steamships ready?"

The old guys blinked one by one and searched around the shipyard.

"Well, there are some more!"

Huang Yuan nodded.

On the day the navy returned, Ying Feiyu had already sent someone to notify Huang Yuan, saying that someone would come to buy the steamship soon.

He didn't take it seriously yet, and he didn't expect that in just a few days, someone would actually come to buy it.

"Quick! Arrange a few ships for a few of us!"

Kang Anping urged urgently.

"How many ministers want it?"

Huang Yuan was stunned.

Either the shipyard does not open, or if it does open, it will be a big business!

All six ministers are here. If each person has one, that would be six ships!

According to the price previously set by His Royal Highness, that is nine million gold!

"That's right, they all do! We are going to form a fleet and go to Nanyang together...!"

Wang Ben was about to talk about going to Nanyang to make money. Zhang Han, who was beside him, suddenly scolded him twice and winked at him wildly, signaling him not to spread the word.

However, Wang Ben didn't care about that. Even if he understood his intention, he still controlled his mouth, "Why are you blaming me? It's not just us who are worried about that piece of fat in Nanyang. Besides, Huang Yuan is busy with his feet all day long."

At the back of his head, all the manufacturing industries of His Highness the Prince were handed over to him. Even if he knew that there were spices in Nanyang, he would not bother to develop them!"

"Hahaha! Yes!"

Huang Yuan also nodded very cooperatively.

Zhang Han was very embarrassed, acting as if he was the only one stingy and afraid of others making money!

"We have brought all the money, where is the ship? Take us there and see!"

In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhang Han took out the banknote from his arms and patted it on the table very generously.

"The boat is in the yard. If the ministers really want it, I can order someone to drag it to the Weishui pier. The ministers can use it at any time."

Huang Yuan pursed his lips toward the door, and while everyone was turning their heads, he picked up the banknotes on the table and started counting them.

After a moment, he continued: "Zhang Shangshu, your banknotes are not enough!"

"What? Not enough? It can't be right? It's something I've been carrying in my arms!"

Zhang Han was suddenly shocked, grabbed the banknotes, and counted them carefully one by one.

Good guy, if you really lose two pieces, you won’t be able to explain it clearly after you go back!

Once he encounters these guys who are cheating his teammates and causing trouble, he will be beaten again!

I can’t say whether I can survive it or not!

"That's right! Exactly one million gold, that's right!"

At the end of the count, Zhang Han let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the quantities are all right, no one is missing!

"Oh! Look at my brain. I forgot to tell the ministers that the current steamship has been changed to one million and a half gold!"

Huang Yuan slapped his forehead, pretending to be annoyed.

"What?"

"How much? How much did you say?"

Wang Ben and others' eyes widened immediately, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

Steamships are so expensive that no one usually buys them!

The current ships are probably still from the previous batch, and His Majesty will buy the rest.

When His Majesty purchased it two months ago, it was still for one million gold. Including the cost of rush work, it was only 1.05 million gold. Now it is asking for 1.5 million gold?

"One and a half million gold!"

Huang Yuan spoke clearly and clearly.

"You...you are trying to raise the price from the ground up!"

A few old guys stopped working immediately.

The price has really risen too fast.

Even if it's 1.1 million gold, it's still okay, barely acceptable.

This sudden increase of fifty gold, who can accept it?

Their money didn’t come from the strong wind!

"I'm really sorry, ministers. This price was set by His Highness the Crown Prince. I just obeyed the orders and there was nothing I could do about it!"

Huang Yuan said with a troubled face.

In fact, he also felt that 1.5 million gold was a bit too expensive!

Even if it's one million gold, the shipyard can make a profit!

But there was no way, this was something that His Highness the Crown Prince had repeatedly told him to do, so he had no choice but to do it!

"Let's go! Go to Bieyuan to find the prince!"

Together, these old guys couldn't spend the extra five hundred thousand gold in vain, so they had to talk to that guy about anything.

"Yes, let's go find the prince. As far as our relationship is concerned, even if you don't give one million gold, just add one hundred thousand gold. How can you give us five hundred thousand gold all at once? It's too much!"

"Yes, yes, we must find His Highness the Crown Prince! Five hundred thousand gold, and the winery's dividends for several months are just gone!"

"Go, go, go...!"

Several people walked toward the shipyard gate angrily, still complaining.

As soon as I walked to the gate, I met other officials from various ministries. They were all in the same mood as when they first walked in!
Chapter completed!
