Boxes of gems were carried by soldiers and loaded onto carriages.
The soldiers who had just got off the train stood one by one and lined up all the way to the palace gate, forcing a clear path for the carriage.
At the same time, it is also for safety reasons, lest someone has evil intentions and is bold enough to steal the royal things!
The gold, silver, and precious stones were so heavy that the carriage was already very difficult to load with only a few boxes, and the coachman drove them toward the palace.
The first carriage has arrived at the treasury, but the train has not yet been unloaded. The soldiers are still carrying two boxes per box. You can imagine how much loot this time is!
The soldiers carried the box down continuously, and Zhang Han also followed suit.
At one time, he reminded his feet, at another time, he was preparing to load the vehicle, and at the next time, he asked the soldiers to be careful when going down the stairs.
I was running back and forth, afraid that something would go wrong.
If you didn’t know better, you would have thought that what the soldiers were carrying were his family’s belongings!
Wang Li and others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, he really does his duty!
Seeing this posture, the people on the street stood behind the soldiers to watch the excitement.
"Huh? What are you doing? Why such a big fight?"
"I don't know? Why are there so many carriages coming and going?"
"What kind of rare thing is contained in the box on the carriage? So many soldiers are needed to protect it...?"
The people couldn't help but be curious when they saw the endless carriages.
"Isn't this battle more spectacular than the scene of transporting spices to Hubu when Nanyang was first developed?"
"That's for sure. Haven't you heard? The army led by General Han has made a triumphant return and has entered the city in batches. If you guessed correctly, these boxes contain either the soldiers' personal belongings or the trophies of this time. !”
"Victorious? Why didn't I know? If it was a triumphant army, shouldn't those steamships stop at the Weishui River? It would definitely cause a huge sensation. There can't be no news in the city?"
"Hey! The Weishui River is frozen, why stop at the Weishui River? I heard that the soldiers took the train and returned to Xianyang in batches!"
"Yes, I've heard about this too...!"
Several well-informed people have already guessed the contents of the box through the information they received.
"The thing that allows soldiers to protect themselves in this way is definitely not a personal belonging!"
"That's right. Look, there are only three or four boxes on each carriage. The things inside are definitely not light. They are probably trophies!"
"Yes, yes, definitely!"
"Didn't I say that there is almost no civilization on those islands, they are just indigenous people? Where do you get the trophies?"
"The trophies don't have to be famous people's calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver ingots! Have you forgotten the original Nanyang? There are so many gems as big as eggs, and soldiers can trade them for any old clothes!"
"That's right. Although there are no famous calligraphy and paintings overseas, there are still many gems exposed on the surface. It is possible for one hundred thousand soldiers to obtain these trophies in more than two years!"
"Good guy! If the box is filled with gems, how much does it cost...?"
After some analysis, the common people were able to basically determine what was in the box, and they couldn't help but gasp.
So much gold and silver jewelry, how much is it worth?
It’s immeasurable!
It’s impossible to estimate it!
One thing is for sure, the imperial court will be rich in the future. Even if there is a disaster in an area, the imperial court will have money to provide disaster relief!
The carriage drove vigorously all afternoon and was not finished until nightfall.
When the last carriage entered the palace and the palace door was closed, the soldiers completed their mission and returned to the military camp to report!
That night, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the generals and soldiers who were going on this expedition.
Han Xin took this opportunity to present the military merit list of this expedition, which was reviewed by Ying Feiyu and Ying Zheng.
"Okay, okay! Haha!"
Ying Zheng smiled heartily after seeing it.
Ying Feiyu also nodded with satisfaction.
The merits of the soldiers this time are not small, and the reward should be carefully considered, so tonight we will just drink and chat, and the reward will be decided after discussing with the courtiers for a while!
"Great. From now on, the land where the sun shines will all belong to Da Qin, and no foreign race will dare to invade our Da Qin!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and laughed.
Seven years ago, he would have never dared to think about it.
Being able to wipe out the Xiongnu is already a big deal!
"Yes, people will be able to live a good life in the future!"
Ying Feiyu was also very happy.
Not to mention whether there will be internal strife, at least the tragedies of massacres in future generations will not happen again!
His time traveling was not in vain!
Before arriving at the palace, his wish was to rely on the system and live a stable life with his mother, just to be a little rich.
An unexpected combination of circumstances brought him to the palace, and he got to where he is today step by step.
Think about it, it’s really amazing!
"I'll give you a toast!"
Ying Feiyu is not interested in wine, and he rarely makes a toast. What he did today is really rare.
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
Han Xin and the other soldiers stood up one after another, bowed their hands and drank the wine in one gulp.
Then the courtiers began to praise and inquire about Han Xin and others, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Fan Kuai and Peng Yue even held wine glasses and boasted to everyone with great emotion.
The soldiers brought out by Wang Ben surrounded Wang Li and asked him to tell him about the situation overseas!
The whole banquet lasted until midnight.
As expected, Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others were carried back to the house.
I immediately asked for leave for the morning court the next day. No one had sobered up, so I couldn’t just go to the morning court smelling of alcohol, right?
Ying Feiyu and the younger generation had nothing to do and still went to court early on time.
The civil servants were not good drinkers, so they started to eat after a few drinks without delaying the morning court.
"I see your Majesty...!"
When Ying Feiyu appeared in the Qilin Hall wearing a black and red dragon robe, all the officials bowed their hands and saluted.
The person accompanying him is no longer Jingfu, but Mingde.
As Ying Zheng takes the Zen position, Jing Fu, as his personal chamberlain, will definitely have to retreat with him.
On the contrary, Mingde was fulfilled.
Before he met Ying Feiyu, he was just an ordinary little chamberlain in the palace. He could step on anyone who was older.
No one expected that once he was assigned to the Guanghua Palace, he would rise to great heights, and within a few years, he would directly become the emperor's personal chamberlain.
No matter the maids or maids in the palace, they must nod and bow when they see him. No one dares to make a mistake!
"Everyone is free of charge!"
Ying Feiyu waved to the ministers and officially started the morning court.
"Your Majesty, I, the Qin Dynasty, have been fighting in the south and north for many years, and finally unified the entire world. I am so happy and congratulated!"
"Yes! During this period, in addition to His Majesty's leadership and invention of thermal weapons, General Han and others also contributed a lot!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I suggest that General Han and others be rewarded based on their merits...!"
Knowing that Han Xin, Wang Li and others are Ying Feiyu's confidants, they will definitely be loyal ministers of the imperial court in the future, and fawning over them is equivalent to fawning over His Majesty.
Therefore, as soon as the morning court had just begun, courtiers came out to ask for the performance.
"There's no hurry!"
The reward must be awarded, but this matter must be considered slowly. Ying Feiyu has not yet decided what position to give Han Xin and others.
"Your Majesty, now that overseas countries have been purged, is it not necessary for Da Qin to retain so many troops and allow the soldiers to return to their hometowns to develop agriculture and production?"
The ministers who took credit for Han Xin and others had just entered the list, and the old censor Ning Xingwang came out to report.
You know, Da Qin's ordinary army alone has more than one million people.
If you include the navy newly trained in recent years, there are already almost 1.5 million people.
There are also garrisons in various places, almost two million people!
With the development of Da Qin, the treatment of soldiers has also made a qualitative leap.
Even if you have no military merit, you will receive a certain salary every month.
The imperial court pays salaries to these two million troops every month, which is a huge sum of money.
In addition, families with soldiers serving in the army are exempted from agricultural taxes, which invisibly reduces the court's income!
Now that the world is at peace, there is no need for so many troops.
For the sake of the court's expenses, he proposed to cut off some of them!
"disarmament?"
After his words, he immediately attracted the attention of the generals.
