Chapter 920

"Your Majesty, we have cooperated with the Jinyiwei to pull all the gold and silver into the palace by Lord Fang's order. Now they should be outside the hall." Zheng Hui added.

Emperor Jing came to his senses, looked at the reaction below, and smiled and said, "It's such a miracle. All my dear friends will follow me to see what I have gained from Da Jing Shui Master?"

Of course, everyone agreed.

One thousand six million taels are placed outside, hurry up and take a look!

When everyone arrived outside the hall, they felt dizzy again.

At this moment, outside the Fengtian Palace Square, countless wooden boxes are piled up.

Each large box is half open, and the gold and silver bricks inside are shining brightly in the sun, extremely dazzling.

There are also a large number of boxes containing rare treasures that are rare in the scenery.

Even the well-trained Gongwei would occasionally float his eyes to his side.

After all, so many shining gold and silver treasures really make people moved.

Emperor Jing sighed: "The fleet has really given me an unexpected surprise. In the future, I can usher in a great prosperous era with this big view alone."

"The soldiers who set sail in this fleet should be the first to make a contribution. I will reward you with great hard work!"

Zheng Hui said modestly: "Your Majesty praises you, this is my duty."

"No, yes, all the personnel who went to sea this time will be rewarded! However, you still need to sort it out in detail now. You can order your sailors to settle their families first, and then someone will convey the order."

"I, thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

......

In the imperial study room, Emperor Jing looked at the detailed account presented in his hand happily.

I was amazed, and seemed to be immersed in the scene of gold and silver on the square and unable to extricate myself.

After all, there will definitely be a part of it allocated to the treasury.

This is a huge wealth that comes from heaven, and no matter how emperor is, he cannot avoid the vulgarity.

After reading the accounts, Emperor Jing said, "Zhengyi, how do you think the navy soldiers who returned to the voyage this time should be rewarded?"

Fang Zhengyi thought for a moment and pondered: "I think that since there are more than 16.5 million taels, I will remove the fraction and give it to the sailors."

"More than 500,000 taels...is it a little more?"

"I said six million and five million taels."

“…”

Emperor Jing was silent, and he never expected Fang Zheng to open his mouth so big.

It’s really not a pity for not spending your own money!

"What did you think?"

Fang Zhengyi said: "Your Majesty, the first batch of navy exploring the West are all pioneers of history. In other words, these heroes have already accepted their fate of a lifetime before setting off."

"With this and today's great achievements, the court has the responsibility to make them and their whole family live a safe life without worries. There are also many soldiers who fell, and their families also need money to soothe their spirits, so this money is absolutely impossible to save."

"In addition, this can be considered as a example for other people and encourage others to go to sea. Trade with the West seems to be a big profit, but the court cannot eat up all the profits. It is better to give benefits to the people and encourage the people to go west. The court can sell ships to make profits."

Emperor Jing nodded slightly: "What I said is reasonable, but I still think that 6.5 million taels are too much. I have never heard of such a reward in the founding Kingdom of Jing until now?"

What I said about the founding of the country has been so hard that I am so reluctant to spend money.

Fang Zhengyi secretly despised his father-in-law in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, this is the beginning. Are we going to make a lot of money later? You don't have to take this little money to heart."

"Big money?" Emperor Jing was happy to think about it, "It's true, it's really big money. What you said is right, but the Ministry of Revenue will definitely make an objection."

"I think Your Majesty should directly order the Ministry of Revenue. This money cannot be saved, otherwise it will be bad if the hearts of the world are cold."

"Well..." Emperor Jing thought about it and suddenly said, "Not to mention this, I have something important to you. Zheng Hui said before that they offended the Western Taifu Sect. You have always cared about these things. What do you think about this?"

Fang Zhengyi thought, "Your Majesty, this is not a difficult task. Although we don't know how powerful the Taifu Sect is, it is not very different from other sects in essence. The lower-level believers are pure and enthusiastic, and the upper-level are corrupt and greedy."

"Just like the monk who used to be a rebellious monk, rolled his eyes when he pinched his neck and bragged as soon as he let go."

Emperor Jing laughed in silence: "You are too contemptuous. I have never heard of any sect that can control several countries, and there must be something extraordinary."

Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "That's right, I just despise the enemy strategically, but there is no solution."

"When Zheng Hui came back, he brought a group of missionaries from Taifu Church. I wanted to continue to operate through many things. If they did it well, they might be able to convert these missionaries into our people. At least if we take the axioms when encountering things, they would also be biased towards us."

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows: "They also brought back a group of missionaries? Well, since you have a solution, you will be in charge of it."

"Your Majesty, I actually have something to ask for." Fang Zheng said.

"Tell me."

"The missions of the twenty-three kingdoms are now gathered under the Honglu Temple. These people do not understand the language and need special learning and entertainment. I think the old methods and tribute system are no longer applicable to these people. Why not give them to me to deal with?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Emperor Jing said curiously.

Fang Zhengyi said: "I just took them to see the rich products of my Dajing. I will walk around here, so it is best to attract them to come to Dajing for business. After all, let them take the initiative to come, we can save more money. Why do we have to take on the big bag and do everything ourselves? In addition, I also want to prepare for Dongjiao University to recruit talents in the future."

"Dongjiao University, is it necessary to recruit so many foreigners?" Emperor Jing frowned slightly, "You should know that Dongjiao University has made many important inventions, if someone has secretly learned..."

"Don't worry about this. I will keep the technical aspects strictly confidential." Fang Zhengyi explained, "The reason why I want to do this is a last resort. Dongda University is science. A genius requires more than 10,000 mediocre talents. For example, inventions such as penicillin are all led by one or two people. My great scenery is because of my profound background and truly smart people rarely want to come to Dongdao University. But if you recruit foreign students, you must have experienced a round of screening in your country. You can finally get my great scenery. If you succeed in your studies in the future, you can also absorb it for my great scenery. This is a killing two birds with one stone."

Fang Zhengyi’s statement makes sense, but he is an alien after all.

Emperor Jing was a little hesitant, not sure whether it was good or bad.

Fang Zhengyi said, "Your Majesty, we are talking about these things too early. Why don't you let me give it a try? If there are really foreign students entering Dongjiao University in the future, but the initiative is still with us. On the one hand, we can control the number, and on the other hand, we can also transfer it at will. This is not a big deal."

Emperor Jing sighed and made up his mind to say, "Well, no one in the court knows better about Western affairs than you, so you can consider this matter yourself."
