Chapter 917 No baby

"How's it going? Did everyone have a smooth journey along the way? Did you encounter any storms?"

Wang Ben asked with concern as he watched the dark-skinned men jumping off the boat with joyful faces.

"Back to General, the sea was quite rough, but everything went well!"

The young man in the lead had a smile on his face and answered very simply.

"That's good……!"

Wang Ben nodded and looked around among the crowd, "How are the injured crew members doing now? Have they all recovered?"

No one on their ship was included in the previously announced death list.

There were quite a few injured.

Now that the ship is docking, this is the first thing he thinks of!

"Back to the general, our brothers on the ship all suffered superficial injuries. They will all recover after a few months of rest! Look, everyone is in high spirits now!"

The young man smiled and gestured to the men behind him.

As a result, men hold their heads high and chest out to make themselves look more energetic!

"Okay, okay, that's good!"

In this way, Wang Ben felt relieved.

As for those private ships, what the owners are most concerned about is how much property they bring back!

Anyway, they have already given the compensation that should be given to their family.

"How is it? How is it? How rich is Yizhou? Are there any valuable people there?"

As one ship after another arrived at the port, the owners of the ships couldn't wait to run to the ship one by one and go to the cabin to check the harvest!

When we first bought the ship, we spent a lot of money.

If there is nothing on the island, they will lose money!

"The situation and climate in Yizhou are completely different from those in Nanyang. Except that there are not many people, it feels similar to ours in Daqin. I don't know what is valuable and what is not valuable, so I brought back some of each plant!"

"The animals are similar to those in Da Qin, but there are some slight differences. In addition, I don't know much about those animals. I don't know what temperature they like and what they feed on, so I didn't bring them with me!"

The crew members reported to their owners one after another.

"Ouch! None of these are important, let's get to the important points quickly!"

After listening for a long time without hearing any useful information, the owners were extremely anxious.

"There are gems in Yizhou, but the area is too large. The food we brought there is limited, so we can't continue searching!"

"Yes, most of all kinds of pearls and gems appear on the beach, so we have been wandering along the beach in the past few months and picked up a lot of valuable things!"

"I, I, I picked up a gold nugget. It's of pretty good quality. It must be worth a lot of money...!"

The crew members spoke one after another, finally making the owner's hanging heart fall to the ground.

The islands in Southeast Asia are not large in area and are surrounded by the sea. Over time, many gems have washed up on the islands.

Some were picked up by the natives on the island and taken home to play with their children.

After the soldiers arrived, they only took some daily necessities and exchanged the gems for them!

In the eyes of the indigenous people, daily utensils and clothes are the most valuable.

And those gems are just useless stones, they just look a little bit prettier!

The coastal area of ​​Kezhou is not much, most of it is inland, which is similar to that of Daqin.

Those natives are not as honest as those in Nanyang. Don't even think about exchanging gems with them. As long as you don't get hurt, it's good!

In addition, there were incidents of indigenous people hurting people, and a lot of time was wasted waiting for the court's reinforcements. They had almost eaten the food they brought, so they returned!

The results for each ship were roughly the same.

Take the owners to the innermost cabin, open the box containing gems, and the shining gems are revealed one by one!

Although it is dazzling, it only has a small box!

"Alas! These gems are indeed good, but they can be sold for seven to eight hundred thousand gold, which is less than half of the cost of the ship. This result is far worse than the original Nanyang!"

The owners were somewhat disappointed after seeing the most valuable thing on the ship.

Among the first batch of people who went to Nanyang, who didn’t come back with a full load?

Some people can bring back things worth two to three million gold in just one trip.

At least you can almost get your money back!

But on this trip to Yizhou, after deducting the labor force, the food and grass brought on the road, the wear and tear of the ship, and the diesel consumed, there was not much left.

Before, I expected to make back my money by taking two round trips.

Looking at it this way, let alone two trips, even four trips may not be enough to get back the money!

I made so much money in the first wave, and I will definitely make less every time after that!

Zhang Han didn't know much about the situation in Yizhou, so he thought it was not much different from the situation in Nanyang, so he brought many carriages here for fear that the things on the ship would not be able to be loaded.

As a result, not even one carriage was full, including gems and various plant seeds on the island!

In desperation, I could only take a car and return home first.

I really can't afford to lose this guy.

Full of joy, he brought dozens of carriages here, but the first carriage was loaded with things, and the others returned to Xianyang City empty.

I'm sure to be laughed out of my head tomorrow!

In fact, he was not the only one. Almost all the owners brought many carriages, thinking that no matter what, they could find a dozen carriages.

No one expected this result!

"It seems that Yizhou doesn't have much treasure. With so many ships returning to port, not one of them is fully loaded!"

"Yeah, I thought this time I could have the grand scene of returning home with a full load, but I didn't expect it would be just such a small thing, haha!"

"Isn't that right? Look at the faces of those bosses. They will probably suffer heavy losses!"

"I definitely can't pay compensation. At least there is still a ship!"

"Those who can afford a boat are rich people and don't care about this!"

"That's right. They can't let them make all the money. There have to be losses sometimes. Otherwise, how can we live?"

"The biggest winners today are probably the horsemen driving the carriages. They made money just by going back and forth without putting in any effort, haha..."

Seeing the empty carriages heading towards Xianyang City, the onlookers immediately made sarcastic remarks.

This means that no one has made any money. If they come back with a full load, their eyes will probably be red again!

In less than half a day, everything that happened at the port spread throughout Xianyang City.

"Fortunately, there are no immigrants. There is nothing in Yizhou!"

"Yeah, I heard that the climate isn't that bad either. It's basically the same as ours in Xianyang!"

"The land is vast and sparsely populated, so we should be able to allocate a lot of farmland!"

"What's the use of that? Don't we cultivate the same land in Daqin?"

"That's true……!"

Seeing the first batch of ships returning from Yizhou, the people immediately thought of immigration.

At the beginning, people spontaneously immigrated to Nanyang, all for the huge wealth.
Chapter completed!
