After the matter was settled, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Everyone felt that they had taken advantage.
Zhao Xian and others got the coveted revolver and a large number of bullets, but their contribution was minimal, just some food.
Han Du harvested life-saving food. As for a hundred revolvers and bullets, what did they count in front of the Ming Arms Bureau?
Han Du, Zhao Xian and others were so happy that they communicated with each other and had a great time.
Without any hesitation, Han Du directly ordered Zhang Chao to go to the ship and take out one hundred revolvers and ten thousand rounds of ammunition, and then brought them over and placed them in front of Zhao Xian and others.
The wooden box was pried open directly, and the brand-new revolvers were wrapped in oil paper and packed in rows inside, and the surroundings were packed with hay.
"Uncle Ben didn't bring many revolvers with him when he went to sea this time, but he can still get out a hundred." Han Du smiled, pointed at the two large wooden boxes, and said, "You can count them and see if the numbers are correct." wrong."
With a look of joy on his face, Zhao Xian stretched out his hand to dig out an oil paper bag from the hay, and tore it open a few times to reveal the well-protected revolver. The bright silver gun body seemed to shine with a special light.
Zhao Xian picked up the revolvers, looked at them repeatedly, and showed a satisfied smile. These revolvers were indeed unused. Wrap the revolver casually and put it back in the box.
"There's no need to count. The common people can trust me."
After saying that, he waved his hand to someone to carry the box down.
Seeing this, Han Du said: "Uncle Ben will give you all the things you want. I hope you can prepare the food I want in time."
"Uncle, please don't worry. The common people will start organizing manpower to carry it. I guarantee that when the Ming Navy comes, at least one million loads of food will be ready." Zhao Xian patted his chest and assured.
"Okay, that's the case. I'm waiting for your good news." Han Du turned around and looked north, sighing: "It's been a long time since I've been here, and it's time for me to return to Beijing."
"My uncle is very busy with his affairs, so the civilians don't dare to stay too long. However, the civilians and others have prepared some wine. Firstly, it is a reward for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers, armed with hard work and tenacity, helped the civilians capture the natives. The civilians and others are very grateful. Secondly, the civilians are very grateful. Come here to practice for my uncle. I wish him a smooth journey.
Go with the flow. "
Han Du smiled and pondered after hearing this. The soldiers were indeed very tired these days. They had to fight with the natives and carry things. Before setting sail, you can enjoy good food and drink, and you can also relieve some of the pain of sailing on the sea.
"Mr. Zhao is interested." Han Du smiled and nodded in agreement.
A huge bonfire was lit and countless feasts of wine and meat were laid out. The sound of punching, bragging, and drinking was noisy and lively all night long.
The next day, when it was bright and clear, Handu stepped on the embers of the bonfire and prepared to leave.
"Uncle." Zhao Xian and others called to Han Du.
Han Du turned and looked at them.
Zhao Xian waved his hands to bring up a few boxes, and bowed down: "My lord and uncle saved the common people and others from danger. We are very grateful. This is a small kindness, and I hope your lord and uncle can accept it." "
Han Du glanced at the polished copper nails on the box and could guess what was inside without opening it. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness. I will take my leave now."
"Uncle, walk slowly, have a nice journey."
The huge anchor was pulled up by the winch, the front and rear sails were raised, and the warship slowly left the shore and headed towards the sea.
Zhao Xian and others stood on the beach and watched the navy warship leave.
"Dad, the draft of this warship is actually deeper than when it came here. It seems that those things were not taken away by the natives at all, but were moved away by the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Xian turned to look at his son as if he was an idiot. I was so depressed that I didn't even want to explain it to him, but who told him that this was his biological child? No matter how disappointing he was, he could only endure it.
Sighing helplessly, Zhao Xian finally decided to break it off with his son, crush it into pieces, and explain. "Don't you know this truth when you see through but don't tell off? As long as we can rely on the Ming Dynasty, we will be the only ones to bully others in the future, and no one else will bully us. With this thing, how much gold and silver can't we get back?"
After saying that, he waved the revolver in his hand towards his son.
Han Du directed people to move the box to his room. Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang He sitting in his room. Han Du immediately stopped and followed behind him.
Box soldiers.
The scene was extremely embarrassing.
The two stared at each other for a moment, and when Tang He turned his attention to the box behind him, it was Han Du who couldn't hold back.
"Why are you in the boy's room? Are you looking for me for something?"
However, Han Du was too thick-skinned, and the embarrassed look on his face flashed away, he coughed twice, and asked calmly.
The soldiers carrying the box could neither advance nor retreat.
Fortunately, Han Du immediately turned around and waved to them: "Bring them all in."
The soldier put the box down and fled quickly.
Han Du smiled at Tang He and said, "I was about to go find the father-in-law, but I didn't expect that the father-in-law was actually in the boy's room. It's just a good thing that he doesn't have to worry about anything. I will take three of the six boxes." "
Tang He heard this with a look of ridicule on his face, "What's in these boxes?"
"I don't know, we haven't opened it and looked at it." Han Du shrugged and spread his hands.
The sneer on Tang He's face became even stronger, "You don't even know what's in it, so you dare to take it? Don't you know that the superiors hate corrupt officials the most? Embezzling sixty taels, peeling off the skin of day lilies."
"How can this be corruption?" Han Du felt that he needed to discuss it with Tang He. "Corruption refers to embezzlement of public funds. These things, but Zhao Xian asked us to express our gratitude for their life-saving grace. How could this be Can it be considered corruption? After all, gold and silver are valuable, but life is priceless."
"Besides, we have gained so much this time. Wouldn't it be bad if the people leading the troops outside don't take any money?" Han Du chuckled, looked at Tang He meaningfully, and said: "The truth behind this, I know."
Ranwen
Tang He pondered for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's good that you understand, but I'm afraid that you don't understand. It's a reward for soldiers, and it's about making money. If you really don't take any money, then I will be worried about you." Tang He paused and said with a smile: "A superior is not a stingy person. You can take what you should take, but don't reach out for what you shouldn't take."
"Boy understands."
Han Du nodded and continued: "Although the boy loves money, he knows how to get it in the right way."
