Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 205 Return to Homeland

The slaves on the island worked tirelessly all day long.

Xu Fu watched more and more slaves join in, and his face was full of smiles all day long.

It was summer again, and a lot of silver mines had been dug up on the island. It was worth mentioning that Xu Fu and his team also found a small gold mine.

Piles of glittering silver and gold were shining right under their noses all day long. The soldiers went from being surprised at first to turning a blind eye now.

"Should we send someone to send these back?"

In the evening, after dinner, Wang Ben, Wang Jian, Wang Ying and Xu Fu sat together.

Wang Jian looked at the gold and silver mines piled casually on the ground, and now he didn't feel any pity at all.

Thinking back to the first time he saw so much silver and gold, Xu Fu didn't store them properly but actually threw them on the ground. He was so distressed that he almost fought with Xu Fu.

"That's true. It's been a year since I came out. It's time to send something back."

Wang Ben nodded, and felt a little excited when he thought of his hometown.

"Well, let's start preparing tomorrow. Wang Jian, you will take your men and load these things onto the ship and transport them back to Qin."

"Let's continue mining here. There are still a few islands over there that we haven't reached yet."

"When you come back, bring more boats. We don't have enough boats this time."

Wang Yingjie took over.

Xu Fu nodded secretly.

Although he wanted to go back, he decided to wait until next time.

The next day, the soldiers learned that they were going to transport gold and silver back to Qin, and they all looked towards Qin excitedly.

Looking forward to being selected by the general.

One after another, the huge ships raised their sails again, and the people on the ships waved goodbye to the people on the shore.

It was impossible to leave until we could no longer see the shadow of the ship.

"Go back to work, and when they come back, everyone will take turns going back."

Seeing the soldiers like this, Wang Ben spoke to comfort them.

"Our ship is fast, and we've already made the same journey once. It will take us much less time to go back than it did to come. They will be back soon."

"Let's all go. Let's all go."

When the soldiers heard that it would be their turn to go home next time, they happily started to work again.

I'm already looking forward to the day when I can go back.

In July, the hottest season of the year, the Qin State was peaceful and the people lived in peace.

At this time, huge ships were sailing on the sea in the distance. The people who were fishing on the beach saw the huge ships on the sea and hurriedly rowed their boats back to the shore.

"Look, what is that?"

"This boat is really big."

"Alas, I was there when our Qin's giant ships set sail. It was truly magnificent."

After hearing this, many people reacted.

"Isn't this our Qin State's ship?"

"Go and inform the county governor."

For a moment, the people nearby ran around.

Kuaiji County soon became lively.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and they could clearly see the flag of the Qin Dynasty on the shore.

"This is the flag of our Qin State."

"This is the ship standing at the door."

"Our Qin ship has returned from the sea."

"Look, why is there light on that ship?"

"That's right, where's the golden light? What's going on?"

"Look behind you, there's a white light there."

"Could it be that there really are immortals overseas? Have they encountered a god?"

"Maybe it is."

"Otherwise, what's with all that golden light?"

"The generals must have invited the gods back."

The people began to talk about it and used their imagination, and the more they talked, the more certain they became that there were gods on the ship.

When the county magistrate arrived with his men, the news that there were immortals on the boat had already spread like wildfire.

"Could it be that there really are gods?"

Even the officials looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

The closer we got to the shore, the slower the boat's speed became.

The huge ship usually docks on the shore.

Now everyone could see clearly what was loaded on the ship.

"This, this, gold, gold."

"this,"

It was the first time for everyone to see so much gold.

The shock was even more exciting than when he just talked about the gods.

Many people opened their mouths wide and were unable to make a sound several times.

The officials were also shocked by this scene.

"Gold, it's gold."

"A lot of gold."

"Those things cost so much money."

"How many countries have they robbed?"

In an instant, many people had already imagined a fierce battle.

Looking at the few people getting off the boat, there are much fewer than when we left.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy about getting so much gold or sad about Qin losing so many soldiers.

Wang Jian and his men got off the boat, and the people around them automatically made way.

He walked smoothly all the way and stood in front of the county magistrate.

However, these officials did not greet them happily, but looked sad.

Wang Jian felt anger rising in his heart.

"Why? Are you all unhappy to see me back?"

At this point, the official came back to his senses, looked at the dissatisfied expressions of Wang Jian and others, and hurried to explain.

"General, calm down. We are not unhappy."

"However, when the generals set out, they brought so many Qin troops with them, and now that they have returned victorious, only so few are left. This is what makes me sad."

Now, Wang Jian and others all laughed.

Everyone looked at each other with laughter.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Everyone we brought with us is fine."

"We found an island out there. It was full of savages. They were half-naked, half-fed, and each one was as short as a chicken."

"We didn't lose anything. We were the only ones who came back because everyone else stayed on the island."

“It takes a lot of manpower to mine these ores on the island now, and they have to wait for the next batch to come back.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Nowadays, there are still people who are naked and live like savages!

It’s so tragic. So tragic.

"Hahaha, that's great, that's great."

After learning the reason, the officials laughed out loud.

"General, take your men to rest first, and leave the rest to us."

Wang Jian was not polite either. "Then you should move all the gold and silver from the ship down."

"I will take a day's rest and return to Xianyang tomorrow with these things to meet His Majesty."

When Wang Jian and his soldiers left, the people looked at the county magistrate and his men and swarmed around them.

"I'm strong, let me do it."

"I, I have the strength, I don't want any wages."

"And I."

"Me too. Me too."

"I don't want any wages, as long as I can touch more gold."

"Hahaha"

Many people laughed out loud.

Who is not?

Although their lives have improved in recent years, the gold, that is gold, so much gold.

When have they met?

If they could move so much gold, they would not wash their hands for several days after returning home.

You can also show off to others.

These hands of mine have carried mountains of gold and silver.

Gold is very valuable.

The officials' ears were buzzing with the noise of the people around them, but the smiles on their faces did not diminish at all.

If it weren't for the official robes, they would also like to go.
