"Your ship came back yesterday, right? How much wealth did it bring back? Have you calculated the statistics?"

"Ouch! Don't mention it, I only brought more than half a million gold worth of things in total! How are you doing there?"

"It's similar here. I have a total of more than 600,000 gold worth of gems, plus some unknown plants. I don't know if I can sell them for money!"

"Oh! Then everyone is about the same! After deducting labor and other expenses, there won't be much money left...!"

In the early morning of the next day, before Ying Zheng arrived, the ministers gathered together to discuss the arrival of the Yizhou ship at the port yesterday.

The big guy's expression was obviously disappointed.

"I thought Yizhou could be as rich in treasures as Nanyang, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"Just be content. If you do other business, even if you have half a year, you won't be able to earn these three or four hundred thousand gold!"

Among the ministers who complained, there were also a few optimistic ones who tried to persuade them.

"Although we have invested money, we haven't contributed much. Isn't it enough to earn this money? Even if we don't get back the original capital, we can still get 50,000 to 60,000 gold per month, which is unmatched by other businesses!"

"Well... that's true. We don't have the ability to turn stone into gold like His Highness. It's really good to send a few people out to make this kind of money!"

"Well! If we get our money back in one go, there will probably be even more people coming to Yizhou next time, and we won't be able to grab anything!"

"Yes, our people have gone there once and already have experience. When they come to Yizhou next time, they will know how to find valuable objects. The wealth they bring back should not be less than this time...!"

After some encouragement from those optimistic ministers, others suddenly realized.

Buying a boat and going to sea is already an industry that can make you rich.

It’s just that Nanyang’s previous earnings were too generous. After this comparison, there is a gap in my heart!

But in detail, you can earn 50,000 to 60,000 gold in a month, which is much more than other businesses!

"It's true that we make money, but we also invest a lot!"

When they thought about the money to buy the ship, several ministers grimaced in distress.

"Humph! If you don't invest, how can you get such a high return? Setting up a street stall requires very little investment. How much money can you make in a month?"

"That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that there is no free lunch in the world. If you want a big return, you must invest a lot of capital!"

"That's right! Look at the electric power and railway. The first investment alone was tens of millions of dollars. After that, all the money earned was invested in the construction and continued to be built. So far, no profit has been seen! In contrast,

, let’s calculate it, if we make a few more trips, the cost of the ship will be back, and any further profits will be net profits!”

"No! Even if you don't work anymore, selling the ship will still make money!"

"Yep……!"

When the ministers got together to analyze it, it was actually not a loss.

Even if you do other businesses, you still have to invest capital, and you can’t make so much!

When the crew came back, they all said that the island was too big. They only moved a small part of it, and all the food they brought was eaten, and they had to come back.

I can't guarantee that there are valuable things elsewhere!

"Lao Meng, how was your family's harvest this time?"

Like other ministers, the veterans also gathered together to talk about the income from their ships.

Their ship was the first to arrive in Yizhou, and there were no major casualties. The profit was also the highest among all ships!

"A certain person carefully counted it with his housekeeper last night, and found that there are about 800,000 gold!"

Meng Yi didn't hide it and directly reported a number.

"Yo! It's not bad! It's almost the same as my family!"

Hearing this, Kang Anping grinned with joy.

The quantity of those gems is not large, but the quality is very good. They are rare in Daqin, and the selling price is definitely not low!

"I did the math last night and found that I have about 700,000 gold!"

"My family is not very well off, so I only have more than 600,000 gold!"

"It's almost the same...!"

Several other people also spoke one after another, and then their eyes fell on Wang Ben.

They had all reported their incomes, but the old guy kept his arms around his shoulders and remained silent.

"Lao Wang, how is the situation over there?"

After hearing about their income, Wang Ben originally didn't intend to speak.

It's like showing off when you say it.

But since the question came to the head, I could only say a few perfunctory words, "It's almost the same, hehe, it's almost the same!"

"You can pull me down, look at the evil smile on your face, it must be more than 600,000 to 700,000 gold!"

"Yes, I heard from my nephew that many of the soldiers who went to Yizhou to support were your subordinates! They were cleaning up in front, and your crew was not far away looking for valuable things. They were more powerful than the people on our ship.

But after searching for more than half a month, how could the final result be similar to ours?"

"I don't believe it either...!"

However, the veterans all pouted, but no one believed it.

"Tell me honestly, how much did you earn?"

Several other people stared at him with burning eyes, as if they would not give up until they told the truth.

"Ouch! Why don't you believe it? It's really the same!"

"How much exactly?"

The old guys are still chasing after them.

In desperation, Wang Ben had no choice but to tell the truth, "It's just more than nine hundred thousand gold!"

"More than nine hundred thousand gold?"

The old guys suddenly widened their eyes and looked at him in surprise.

Among the dozens of ships heading to Yizhou this time, it is estimated that the Wang family made the most money!

"Humph! Old Wang, I knew you were playing tricks on us. More than nine hundred thousand gold is still the same? There is a gap of three to four hundred thousand gold!"

After hearing the exact number, the other veterans immediately pouted and their words were sour.

"That's right! You don't have one million gold, right? I don't have that either!"

Wang Ben spoke forcefully and said with a smile.

"snort!"

The old guys curled their lips and immediately returned to their seats, not wanting to talk to him.

This is obviously Versailles!

"Huh? Why are you all leaving?"

"You are the ones who asked me. I can't help but say it! Now that I have said it, you all curled up and left. What do you mean?"

Wang Ben also kept rolling his eyes at several people.

They were the ones who asked first, so why not tell the truth!

"Your Majesty has arrived...!"

The ministers had finished discussing, and Ying Zheng walked in slowly with a big belly.

"I will see you, Your Majesty...!"

Everyone bowed their hands and bowed slightly.

"Um!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating that they would not be polite.

"I heard that ships from Yizhou arrived at the port one after another yesterday, and many of them belong to your dear friends. I wonder what the harvest is like?"

The biggest news in Xianyang City yesterday was the ship's arrival at the port. After Heibingtai learned about it, he reported it as soon as possible.

Including the scene of ministers driving empty carriages and returning home disappointed!

"Um...this...?"

After hearing this, none of the ministers dared to say a word.

There is no explicit rule in the Qin Dynasty that ministers are not allowed to do business, but as ministers of the DPRK, it is still somewhat inappropriate for them to buy ships and go to sea to compete for profits with the people!

"You don't have to hide it from me. When your ship goes to sea, Black Ice Platform has already reported it!"
