At a casual glance, the gold, silver, and treasure notes alone are worth hundreds of thousands, plus silk, porcelain, tea, and even calligraphy and painting ornaments, including the carriage used by Gusi Timur to travel, and Lao Zhudu.
Give him thorough consideration.
All in all, the value of all the things Lao Zhu gave to Tuogusi Timur this time was no less than three hundred thousand gold, plus a royal palace as compensation.
In order to settle down Tuogusi Timur's family, Lao Zhu also worked hard to regain his health.
After Togu Si Timur heard that the Ming Emperor had rewarded him with so many gifts, he was able to relax and feel relieved after having been on tenterhooks for a long time. Since the Ming Emperor could reward him with so many things, it meant that
I really never thought about taking his life.
This is what Lao Zhu is like. He can spend a lot of money on you when he needs it, but he can also use it to show mercy when he doesn't need it. .??.
As the Beiyuan incident settled, Lan Yu was also released. Moreover, Lan Yu was still granted the title of Duke of Liang, which was hereditary.
Han Du knew that Lao Zhu would definitely not be promoted to the nobility for him, so he attributed all the credit for catching Tuogu Si Timur and finding the imperial seal to Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei. The two of them also became famous because of this.
After being granted the title of Marquis, Tang Ding was granted the title of Marquis Suyi.
"Gang Deke said: "I will serve as his envoy until the end." Although Tang Ding was the eldest son of Duke Xin, he did not have the bad habits of a playboy. He had been learning to march and fight in the military camp since he was a child, and he did well in it.
He worked well under Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde, and because of Tang He's relationship, Tang Ding could be said to have been taught by famous generals, plus Tang Ding's advice. Now Tang Ding can be regarded as a
He has reached the threshold of a famous general. What is missing is a hearty victory. Therefore, Gundek's victory is Lao Zhu's recognition of Tang Ding, and it is also Lao Zhu's promise to Tang He.
.
Xu Chengfei was granted the title of Marquis Kuang Yi. "Sincerity and magnanimity are said to be Kuang: the heart is upright and the young man is responsible for his actions." Xu Chengfei was successful at a young age and was recognized by Li Wenzhong. In terms of talent and knowledge, he was naturally the best choice. However,
Li Wenzhong passed away suddenly, and Xu Chengfei immediately became a rootless person. However, Xu Chengfei, who had lost his backer, did not blame anyone, and did not even come to see Han Du. He just guarded the Shanzi camp and guarded the banknote bureau conscientiously.
Just imagine how important the banknote bureau of the Baobao Lifting Department is! If Lao Zhu didn't send someone to keep an eye on it, he would have trouble sleeping and eating. As for Xu Chengfei guarding Shanzi Camp day after day, year after year, he would naturally
He could see clearly. Xu Chengfei's attitude of not complaining about others was greatly appreciated by Lao Zhu.
Taking advantage of this great achievement, he was granted the title of Marquis Kuang Yi. This is Lao Zhu's sincerity and magnanimity.
Evaluation of Xu Chengfei.
The Yongchang Marquis Mansion is wrong, it is now the Duke of Liang's Mansion.
The palace of Duke Liang changed from the previous sadness and silence and was filled with joy and laughter.
After Lan Yu was imprisoned, the people in the mansion were simply afraid of him. Even Zhu Biao's pleas failed to get the emperor to release Lan Yu, and the people in the mansion fell into despair. In fact, they all
I never thought that Lan Yu would one day be named Duke of Liang.
As the hero who captured Tianyuan Emperor Tuogusi Timur and brought back the imperial seal, Han Du was naturally rewarded by Lao Zhu. However, compared with others, Lao Zhu's reward for Han Du was insignificant.
It was extremely shabby, not a title, nor gold and silver, but the land outside the eastern suburbs of the capital.
"Appreciate thousands of acres of fertile land in South Korea"
Han Du knelt on the ground and listened to Lao Zhu's reward. His eyes suddenly became dissatisfied, and his face looked ugly. It would be better not to reward him with a thousand acres of land. Doesn't he show off his disgusting nature?
Am I, Handu, a person who owns a thousand acres of land? The Han family owns shares in coal mines and briquettes, as well as huge profits from the glass business. What's more, Handu has gone to sea several times, but he didn't make a fortune every time.
Gold, silver and jewelry? Although most of them were sent to the palace and put into Lao Zhu's pocket, there were still some things that were not rare and were intercepted by Han Du.
After all, your hard work traveling overseas can’t be in vain, right?
Moreover, even the singers in Jiaofangsi made a fortune by buying maritime securities. Didn't Han Du buy much more than them that time?
One thousand acres of land may be a huge reward for ordinary people, but for Han Du, as long as he wants land, let alone one thousand acres, ten thousand acres, or even one hundred thousand acres,
Handu can be bought immediately.
Even if Lao Zhu rewards himself with a little gold and silver, it would be better than giving him this little land.
Han Du was not happy at all, but his parents were more excited about getting this thousand acres of land than anything else. They quickly thanked him and even pulled Han Du to kneel down together.
Even after receiving the imperial edict, the rewards given to the eunuchs were more than when he was promoted to a nobility and a marquis.
The young eunuch took the reward with a smile. There were several rolls of bundled banknotes. He didn't need to count them, just pinch them.
By measuring the thickness of the treasure notes, the young eunuch knew that each roll would not be less than a hundred notes.
Since the credibility of treasure banknotes has been stabilized, people prefer to use treasure banknotes for ordinary transactions rather than using silver and copper coins. There are really too many benefits of using treasure banknotes. Silver will turn black and copper coins will become moldy. Once the silver becomes
If it turns black, it needs to be remade, otherwise others will use the discoloration to reduce the value of the silver in your hand. The same goes for copper coins.
Therefore, if the money in ordinary people's hands has not been spent for a long time, its value will actually decrease when it needs to be spent.
However, treasure banknotes do not have such evil disadvantages. No matter how long you keep them in your hands, they will always have the same value and will not lose a penny. This alone can make people choose treasure banknotes when making transactions.
, and put the silver and copper coins at the back for the time being.
For this young eunuch, he also wanted the Han government to reward him with treasure coins instead of gold and silver. Take the treasure coins in his hand, for example, he could grab several hundred coins with one hand.
He picked it up and put it back into his sleeve robe lightly. But if it were converted into silver, it would cost several hundred taels, and the weight alone would weigh dozens of kilograms. Even if he could move it, it would be inconvenient to hold it.
The young eunuch skillfully put the treasure money into his sleeve robe, looked at Han Du with a smile, bowed and said: "According to the emperor's decree, please give the navy command talisman to the servant."
Han Du was stunned when he heard this, and did not realize what Lao Zhu meant. However, he still subconsciously obeyed the eunuch's words, took out the command talisman from his arms, and handed it to the eunuch.
The young eunuch quickly straightened his expression, took it with respectful hands, and said apologetically to Han Du: "Master Marquis, I'm offended."
After saying that, he bowed and bowed before returning to the palace with his command talisman.
Seeing the eunuch leave, Han Du has not yet turned around. What is going on?
Is Lao Zhu taking away his military power? Han Du shook his head imperceptibly, not understanding why he had offended Lao Zhu and made him take back his military power.
Is it because he interceded for Lan Yu? But he didn’t even take the credit for capturing Tuogu Si Timur and finding the imperial seal, so couldn’t he still take the credit for it? Besides, Lan Yu, the real owner, is nothing.
No, he was promoted to the title of Duke of Liang. Why should he be hit with a hammer?
Han Du curled his lips, complaining about Lao Zhu in his heart. But he didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, Han Du was not keen on military power. It was just because he had been in charge of the navy for a long time that he suddenly had military power taken back. He was a little uncomfortable.
.
He looked up and saw his parents' lips slightly parted, as if they wanted to say something to persuade him, but didn't know how to say it.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Han Du suddenly had a smile on his face and asked first.
Han De and Liu looked at each other, and finally Han De coughed, looked at Han Du and softly comforted: "Du'er, the emperor took back the navy command talisman, maybe it has another important use for you, you must do it"
Don’t take it to heart.”
"Dad, Mom, have you seen with your eyes that I take this matter to heart?" Han Du felt helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After hearing Han Du's words, Han De and Liu looked back at each other. Could it be that they were wrong?
However, Han Du always said something in front of them and never kept it secret. Since Han Du said so, it was probably the case. Although the two of them didn't know why Han Du was so innocent, they could imagine
Just open it, they are most afraid that Han Du will not be able to think about it.
"It's better if it's not, it's best if it's not"
Han Du looked at his parents who were extremely nervous and relaxed. He never guessed that they were worried that he would miss his military power and be reluctant to hand it over.
I have a damn thing that I can’t bear to part with!
Although he took the navy to sea twice and made a lot of money both times, the hard work of the ocean-going ships was real. He is now the Marquis of Zhenhai in the Ming Dynasty, a hereditary one who has a family.
It's not like those poor soldiers who still need to make a fortune by going to sea to make a fortune.
Instead of suffering that crime, why not stay comfortably in the capital, eat, drink and have fun? If it weren't for the purpose of introducing Lao Zhu's eyes and the eyes of the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty to the sea, Han Du would not have expended this effort.
Tell people that there are rare treasures and massive wealth overseas.
Now the Ming Dynasty has established thirty-three governor's offices in Nanyang. Lao Zhu's wealth from these thirty-three governors every year exceeds 40 million yuan. Now even if someone wants Lao Zhu to ban the sea again, Lao Zhu will not
Won't agree.
The rapid rise of overseas trade also allowed the people of the capital to see for the first time what visible growth in wealth looked like.
Nowadays, there are dozens of securities trading firms like Chang Hao. Anyone with an open mind and a broad vision will have the courage to invest money in a securities firm. Then, after only a few months, he can get
Take the bills to the merchants to exchange them for considerable wealth.
