"ah……?"

Ying Zheng's words shocked all the ministers.

I thought everyone would remain silent and this incident would just go away!

Unexpectedly, His Majesty knew everything about them buying a boat and going to sea!

"Since no one said anything, I will call your name!"

Ying Zheng's face was obviously colder than before.

Now they are toasting without eating and being punished with alcohol. It’s weird to be happy!

"The main roads in the city have been renovated, but there are still many dirt roads around the area that have not been repaired! If you wait until I call your name before reporting, I will allocate those roads to you and let you fund the repairs!"

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and scanned everyone again.

Among this group of people, he knew who bought the ship or who purchased it as a joint stock company!

Still want to hide it and not report it? You can’t do it without applying some pressure!

"Your Majesty, the ship that I and others jointly purchased brought back about five hundred thousand gold and property this time!"

"Back to Your Majesty, I, Liu Yushi, Wang Yushi and others bought a ship and brought back 600,000 gold and property!"

"Seven hundred thousand gold!"

"I have eight hundred thousand gold...!"

This trick worked. As soon as he finished speaking, the court suddenly became lively.

Everyone rushed to raise their hands to report the number, and each one raised his voice louder than the other, for fear that His Majesty would not be able to hear.

Once your voice is covered up and your Majesty finds it out later, you will really suffer a big loss!

The original harvest was less than expected. If it is used to build roads, there will be even less left!

Heibingtai has already informed His Majesty about their going to sea. His Majesty must have known about it, so he shouldn't be secretive about it.

Your Majesty is not happy about this, and has to spend a lot of money to build roads!

"Hmph!"

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and snorted twice.

These guys just won't let us go and will push them backwards.

The great Qin Dynasty was prosperous, but in comparison, the salary given by the imperial court was no longer enough.

It's normal for ministers to find other ways to make a living. He has always turned a blind eye and closed one eye, and that's pretty much it!

But these guys just want to hide it, so you can’t blame him!

"Your Majesty, the ships returning to Xianyang this time are more than a little worse than the previous harvest in Nanyang. The old minister's family only brought back one carriage! Such a situation may affect the immigration of Yizhou!"

After the hall returned to silence, Zhang Han took the lead in reporting.

Yesterday, many ordinary people gathered along the Weishui River to watch, and they must have spread the word about this scene.

He is responsible for the immigration matter, which may be difficult to carry out!

"Shouldn't it?"

However, before Ying Zheng could speak, Ying Feiyu frowned and spoke in confusion.

The temperature in Yizhou is not as high as that in Nanyang, but there should be many specialties. How could it be possible that after searching for so long, only one carriage came back?

"Your Highness, Lao Zhang is right. A certain family only brought two carriages back, including plant seeds and miscellaneous spices!"

Chunyu Yue followed closely behind and testified for Zhang Han.

"Do the people you send out only focus on spices?"

Hearing these words, Ying Feiyu couldn't laugh or cry.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince mean...?"

Chunyu Yue tilted his head, a little confused.

"There are all kinds of rare spices in Nanyang. If you want to find spices, why go all the way to Yizhou...?"

Ying Feiyu was almost defeated by these people, "As long as there are things on the island that we in Daqin don't have and can be used in daily life, you can bring them back and sell them for money. You don't have to just look for spices and gems!"

There are not many native plants in Da Qin, and he also hopes that these guys will go to Yizhou so that they can bring back something rare, cultivate it at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and plant it widely in Da Qin!

Unexpectedly, these guys only focused on the known valuable items, but ignored the others!

"My crew members brought back a lot of plant seeds, but I don't know what they are and whether they are useful, so they are not included in the income!"

"Yes, yes, they are all going to Yizhou for the first time. They don't know what is valuable and what is not valuable at all. Most of their eyes are on gold, silver and jewelry!"

The two ministers grimaced and spoke one after another.

Before the crew left, they told them that they would take back whatever valuables they had.

I didn’t expect to bring back such a small amount of things in the end!

"If nothing else, after the ship arrives in Yizhou, it should be the picking season for coffee beans. Isn't there someone who picked some and brought them back?"

"Coffee beans?"

Regarding this new vocabulary, the ministers looked at each other and expressed confusion.

Ying Feiyu also reacted immediately.

There was no such thing in Da Qin at this time, so even if he called out his name, they wouldn't know what it was!

"It is a small red-skinned fruit. After removing the skin and pulp, it is dried and ground to make a very delicious drink!"

"At the same time, coffee contains caffeine, which can refresh the mind, prevent cardiovascular disease, resist inflammation, antioxidant, and prevent Alzheimer's disease! It can also protect the liver to a certain extent and even reduce the risk of cancer!"

Ying Feiyu briefly described the appearance and functions of coffee beans for everyone.

Of course, what we are talking about here is pure coffee, not those drinks that have been prepared by technology in later generations!

"Feiyu, are you talking about anti-inflammation? Preventing Alzheimer's disease? What are they?"

The words I just said sounded quite bluffing, and seemed to have a very powerful effect.

But after Ying Zheng analyzed it carefully, he understood that it was a drink that could refresh the mind.

As for other words, he doesn’t understand any of them!

Looking at the ministers, they all blinked and cast curious eyes on Ying Feiyu!

"Those are common diseases! All in all, drinks made from coffee beans have certain benefits for the body, just like the tea we have in Daqin now!"

When Ying Feiyu traveled through time, the system gave him several good tea trees, which he planted behind his house.

When he went to Xianyang with Ying Zheng, he brought him back with him.

After that, tea gradually became popular.

The common people also discovered the benefits of drinking tea, and discovered different types of tea trees in Daqin, and began to plant them extensively!

"I see!"

Everyone nodded as if they were enlightened.

"But we don't seem to have found any red beans!"

The ministers tried hard to recall, hoping that among the seeds brought back by the crew, there would be the kind of coffee beans that His Highness the Prince mentioned.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t remember the red bean-shaped seeds!

"Yizhou and Xianyang are thousands of miles apart. I'm afraid the situation has changed now. I'd better go back and look for it myself when I have some free time!"

Coffee beans should be red when mature, but if they were brought back so far, they would probably have changed color.

Instead of letting them look for it, he might as well go out in person and see what other seeds are available!

"Then thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

Everyone bowed their hands.
Chapter completed!
