Chapter 749: It won't be poisonous, right?(1/2)
"Zhang Shangshu, how many carriages have been prepared this time? If there are less, it will not be enough!"
Seeing how excited this old guy was, Ying Feiyu raised his chin and asked jokingly.
"Hey, don't worry!"
Zhang Han couldn't hide his inner joy and stretched out three fingers towards Ying Feiyu.
"Three hundred carriages? Good guy, you are really well prepared this time!"
"No! Three hundred steam tractors!"
Zhang Han emphasized with a smile on his face.
No matter what, a steam tractor can carry more goods than a horse-drawn carriage!
"OK!"
Ying Feiyu gave him a thumbs up.
The Maurya Dynasty continued to develop and grow to a population larger than that of Qin, so the national power can be imagined!
Zhang Han, an old coward, must have thought of this, so he prepared so many tractors!
"Woooo..."
The steamer was getting closer and closer to the port, and white smoke could already be seen coming from the chimney.
Ying Zheng could not hide the excitement on his face!
After a while, hundreds of huge steamships entered the port one after another. The scene was very spectacular!
"General Han Xin, please see your Majesty! Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
"The general will meet His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...!"
The side of the ship was lowered, and Han Xin led the troops to disembark one after another and respectfully saluted Ying Zheng and Ying Feiyu.
"No gifts...!"
Ying Zheng waved his hands happily, "Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
These words are definitely not polite.
In the past, when we went on an expedition, thousands of miles were considered a long way.
This time, I went directly to the Maurya Kingdom, thousands of miles away.
Or risk your life and take the water route!
Once an accident occurs at sea, there will be no trace of the body left!
The soldiers who went on this expedition absolutely put their life and death at risk in exchange for today's victory!
"Serve Great Qin!"
All the soldiers held their hands together again and shouted in unison.
"good……!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Let's enter the city!"
"yes!"
Han Xin responded and led the army into the city.
Hand over all the loot and prisoners to Hubu!
When he saw the loot in each boat, Zhang Han's eyes widened. He ran to the guarding soldiers and asked quietly, "Is there so much in each boat?"
"That's right!"
The soldier nodded affirmatively.
All trophies and prisoners are evenly distributed on each ship, basically the same!
"Good guy!"
Even the Minister of Household Affairs was shocked when he saw so many trophies, and immediately called for the workers and steam tractors that had been prepared before to carry them.
He was so excited that he was even happier than when he got his wife!
"Zhang Shangshu, those jars are not trophies! They are canned fruits brought back by the soldiers!"
Seeing that Zhang Han kept staring at the jar in the cabin, the soldiers quickly spoke out to remind him.
"Canned? What kind of canned fruit?"
After saying this, Zhang Han became more curious and ran to the jar and knocked on it.
Since the jars were sealed, he was too embarrassed to open them, so he could only turn around and ask.
"We don't know the specific name of this fruit. We just discovered it accidentally during the Mauryan Dynasty! However, this fruit is very delicious and we don't have it in Daqin. General Wang also brought back many saplings. I don't know if they can survive!
"
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"Da Qin doesn't have one? Isn't this thing poisonous?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Han subconsciously took two steps back.
These guys are really serious, they eat everything indiscriminately and even bring it back!
"Don't worry, Lord Shangshu. We have all eaten it. This fruit is not poisonous!"
Seeing his big reaction, the soldiers couldn't help laughing.
If they hadn't seen a bird eating it, they wouldn't have dared to try it!
Many times, animals are much smarter than people. They know what they can and cannot eat!
"Forehead……"
Even with the explanation from the soldiers, Zhang Han did not dare to approach again.
It’s not easy to live to this age and have today’s family fortune. Good times are still to come!
If you eat this unknown canned food because of greed, it is not worth your life!
"We brought it back, not only for our family to try it, but also for His Royal Highness to see what kind of fruit this is!"
"Well, that boy... um no... I mean His Highness the Crown Prince is well-informed and should be able to know!"
Zhang Han accidentally spilled the beans.
Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly changed his words and looked around to see if Ying Feiyu was around.
Fortunately, I have followed Ying Zheng back to the palace, so even if I have ears, I can't hear it!
That kid holds grudge the most.
And he's the kind of person who takes revenge immediately when he has a grudge, even if he doesn't even stay overnight!
"Yes, we guess His Highness the Crown Prince also knows about it!"
The soldiers focused their attention on the second half of the sentence and did not hear what the first half was saying at all.
This also made Zhang Han breathe a sigh of relief!
"Then don't worry about these bastards. You can look at the points later!"
Since these canned fruits were not trophies, Zhang Han lost interest.
Just transporting these trophies and grain would take a long time, so how could there be time to take care of them?
Besides, I don’t know if it’s poisonous or not!
"good!"
The soldiers agreed.
…
Ying Zheng returned with hundreds of officials, and the city was also crowded with people.
Everyone cheered and welcomed the army into the city!
A banquet has been prepared in Huayang Palace to entertain all officials, Han Xin, Wang Li and other generals!
During the dinner, Ying Zheng toasted frequently, and Han Xin and others also talked about the things they encountered during the Mauryan Dynasty from time to time!
When he mentioned that strange-tasting fruit, Fusu's eyes suddenly lit up, "What does that fruit look like? Have you ever brought it back?"
"Back to Young Master, the fruit is light yellow in color, with a flat core inside. It is soft, waxy and sweet, with a thin skin and plenty of water! Due to the long journey, I didn't bring fresh ones back, only some canned ones!"
Han Xin reported with a smile.
"Oh? Where is it? Come and have a look!"
Upon hearing this, Fusu could no longer hide the joy in his heart and kept urging.
Ying Feiyu was also very curious, what kind of fruit was it?
"They should still be on board at this time!"
