Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 56 The Life of a Sworn Brother in an Ancient Farming Family 23

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu loitered around the house for a few more days. After confirming that no one was coming, they left a letter, mounted their horses, and headed straight south.

Over the years, Ji Han has accumulated a large amount of faith points and darkness points, but the most important of all are merit points. Although the two of them did bring about some wars, these wars prevented a war that would continue for an unknown period of time.

With war and displacement over, the once prosperous Tianqi Empire instantly devoted itself entirely to agriculture and commerce, all in an effort to make the entire nation prosperous.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's voyage this time was to find a way to spend their gold ingots. After all, their mission was to spend a hundred tons of gold, and the prerequisite for spending it was to find a reasonable reason for people to accept that they could get such a sum of money.

After arriving at the seaside, the two gathered a large number of people. He even specially obtained Shi Minghao's handwritten letter and borrowed many skilled workers from the shipyard.

During the shipbuilding period, Ji Han was not idle. He recruited many experienced fishermen from the fishing villages by the sea to operate the boat, as well as crew members with excellent swimming skills. Ji Han even specially assigned a cook and a doctor to everyone on the boat.

The day the ship was completed, everyone in the shipyard was stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen such a magnificent ship, and more importantly, its spacious interior and various functions.

Under the guise of testing the waters, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, after confirming that the ship was in good condition, immediately led the people they had recruited to form a long fleet and sailed directly towards the unknown island in the distance.

Because Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had previously led a large-scale purge of the bandits along the coast, their journey ahead went very smoothly. As the ship gradually moved further and further away from Tianqi Kingdom, the people and things they encountered became more unfamiliar and novel.

Ji Han held a large notebook in his hand. It was a new hand-drawn map, and the places drawn were the places their fleet had passed through along the way.

Shi Shaoyu also had a large notebook in his hand, but his notebook recorded the different people and things in each place he visited. He even took out a travel document given to him by the emperor to prove his identity and to establish diplomatic relations with countries on different continents.

Of course, they did encounter robberies along the way, both on land and at sea. Regardless of the location, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu all had a unified name for the robbers: those who deliver equipment!

Ji Han used the porcelain, tea, and other items they brought to exchange for a lot of gold. Of course, the two of them immediately replaced all the gold in the box with high-level imitation gold bars produced by the system, which was a clever trick to complete the mission.

In fact, life on a ship is quite monotonous and boring. Without cell phones and with limited books, the monotonous life really wears down one's spirit and energy.

Fortunately, their fleet did not prioritize speed or care about wear and tear. When they encountered land, they would usually board it to take a look, mainly to alleviate the feeling of being rocked back and forth.

At first, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu would keep track of the time, but they got tired of it and simply stopped. When they wanted to know the date, they could just check their space. Of course, when facing crowds, they would still pretend to do some calculations and leave people with an air of mystery.

By the end, Ji Han had no idea how many countries they had passed through, but at least they had almost completed their gold-exchanging mission. Each ship had a limited cargo capacity, and after filling the limited space, the group began their return voyage.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu returned with a full load, which disappointed those who wanted to see the Shi family make a fool of themselves. To make matters worse, Shi Shaoyu had a loud voice, and his shouts could be heard as long as they weren't too far away.

Upon hearing the amount of gold and silver jewelry that Ji Han had brought back, the princes began vying for it in the court once again, each determined to have what the other had and destroy what the other did not have in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of others.

"Enough! All of you! What are you arguing about! This is the imperial court, not a vegetable market where you go to buy groceries! If you're going to keep arguing, why don't you just take off your official hats and go argue with those people who go to buy groceries!"

For a moment, the entire court fell silent.

"Someone, prepare the paper!"

"The amount of money is too huge. Each of you only needs to submit one plan report in the next month, and then we will hold a meeting to hold a unified election."

"As for how to bring those valuables back, I announce that I will personally go there to pick them up in three days."

People in the court / The emperor's sons...

Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, experience counts!

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor appointed the Second and Third Princes to oversee the country, while he himself, accompanied by guards and palace servants, hurried towards Ji Han's dilapidated courtyard.

The emperor's procession was incredibly grand. However, when they arrived at the small fishing village by the sea, even though he was now the emperor, he still felt somewhat insecure. Otherwise, why would his first reaction upon seeing those glittering gold ingots be that he was seeing things?

The emperor was equally swift; the officials accompanying him quickly registered everything, and then it was loaded onto a cart and driven away.

With a large sum of money donated, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's slowly progressing completion rate suddenly jumped to 50%. As for the remaining 50%, that would have to wait until they set sail again.

Although the ships have returned, they cannot immediately set sail again. After all, they have gone on a long journey and need to be carefully maintained.

Ji Hanze and Shi Shaoyu followed behind the emperor's convoy and slowly returned to the Shi family in Kyoto. After so many years apart, Shi Minghao and Zhou Shi had grown a lot of gray hair at their temples, which was a constant reminder to Ji Hanze and Shi Shaoyu that their parents were getting older as time went by.

Shi Shaoyu's elder brother, Shi Shaoheng, also got married early. His wife was a well-matched eldest daughter of the main wife. The two had a very sweet relationship after marriage and currently have three children: two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is now a scholar and can be considered a child prodigy, although he can't compare to Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu.
