Chapter 362: Huge Harvest!
readx;? Chapter 362
With the wealth of the Tang Empire, could it not afford to build an array of hoplites with tens of thousands of people? But sometimes, it is not just a matter of money. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It's like Uzi Steel, Wang Chong wants to buy it for millions, but the key is that you have so much storage and such a high yield!
Sometimes, scarce resources are like this, even if you have money, you can't buy them if you want to.
"Li Tieyi is really a tyrannical thing!"
Wang Chong didn't have to think about it to know that these high-grade deep-sea dark iron must have been looted by Li Tieyi from the Western Regions and the Great Food Merchants who traveled on the Silk Road.
This kind of high-grade deep-sea dark iron is not enough even for the Tang Dynasty itself, but these merchants from the Western Regions and the Great Food can buy it and smuggle it to their own country, which shows how rampant the private transactions on this road are.
As long as there is enough interest, there is nothing that cannot be sold and cannot be traded. It's no wonder that Zhao Lao and Ye Lao raised this issue especially at their grandfather's birthday banquet.
But when he saw this iron gate, Wang Chong realized that Zhao Lao and Ye Lao were probably far underestimating this problem. The smuggling problem on this road is probably much more serious than they know.
"When I go back, I asked the Zhang family in the capital to send someone to move this gate back, so that they can find a way to make it into heavy armor. I'm sure they're quite interested in this. In addition, it is time to notify the uncle and King Song and investigate this matter well. β
Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.
Seeing this gate, Wang Chong was basically not too interested in other things. Only with this gate, Wang Chong basically made this trip in vain.
But at this moment, others didn't know what Wang Chong was thinking. In the treasure trove of iron-clad horse thieves, everyone has long been happy.
In the treasure trove of iron-clad horse thieves, there are simply mountains of treasures. What swords, swords, bows, silver, gold, bronze coins, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, agate, pearls, coral, ...... , piled up one by one.
Even Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were dazzled, let alone others.
Bai Siling had already pounced on a pile of wealth and screamed. The level of excitement startled everyone.
Are all women dragons? When they see the treasure, they smile and get excited.
"Unbelievable, with so many treasures, I'm afraid there must be millions of taels, right?"
As a soldier, Zhang Gong has never had much concept of this, but he was still shocked by Li Tieyi's treasure house.
"A few million taels? Captain Zhang, if you add a zero, these treasures are at least more than 10 million taels, and they are also gold. The Hu merchants on the westward journey were all fat. Moreover, there are more than a dozen thieves who have taken refuge in him, and the treasures they offer add up to more than 10 million taels. It's just that some things are not easy to sell. β
"Something like calligraphy and painting, even though it's worth so much, it's hard to find a buyer. It's cumbersome to deal with. But even if you deduct these, you have to have seven or eight million taels of gold!"
Huang Yongtu said unceremoniously.
In the end, he was born in a big family, and he has a wide range of visions. I've seen a lot of things, and you can see through its value at a glance. In this regard, Zhang Gong can't catch up even if he is a horse.
"Seven or eight million taels?"
Bai Siling sat up from the pile of wealth and was also shocked by the number reported by Huang Yongtu. Although women, like dragons, are born with a sense of wealth, how many people know how much this thing is worth?
The same is true for Bai Siling.
Only then did she know that her group of people had really made a fortune!
The harvest of exterminating a big horse thief is too rich.
This operation is simply pie in the sky. If I knew that there was such a generous reward, I am afraid that the students in the three major training camps would have already broken their heads and gone crazy.
"I want to take out one million taels of gold for this operation, especially as a commemoration for those officers and soldiers who have sacrificed. What do you think?"
Outside the gate, Wang Zheng walked in.
"Hmm. β
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. In this operation, the ones who contributed the most were these Datang veterans.
Without them, it would have been absolutely impossible to have such a great harvest by relying on just the four of them. Not to mention anything else, just a bandit on a small cottage is enough for them to drink a pot.
Wang Chong wanted to give them a million taels of gold, but everyone had nothing to say.
After all, the lives of Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were also saved by some iron horsemen with their own lives. The children of the great family are indeed arrogant, but they are not inhumane.
"Just do as you say. β
Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu said.
Wang Chong nodded, leaned against the wall of the treasure house, and said no more. He was accustomed to seeing the world, and even a little more to the cavalry who died in battle was nothing.
However, Wang Chong will not do this. He is not alone in this treasure house, and not all the treasures here belong to him.
Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, Bai Siling...... He can donate his share, but he can't force anyone else.
One million taels of gold were divided, and each soldier who died in battle could get twenty-five thousand taels of gold in his family, which was already a huge amount of money.
The normal annual expenses of an ordinary family are only more than ten taels of gold, and the widows of these soldiers will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
......
The inventory in the treasure trove was quickly completed, and the pearl agate, the BMW sword, and the gold and silver treasures were ...... All the things added up are about 13 million taels of gold, excluding those calligraphy, paintings, and antiques that are difficult to sell, there are also more than 8 million taels of gold.
-- Huang Yongtu's estimate is not wrong at all.
Because Wang Chong's credit was the greatest, everyone took the initiative to give Wang Chong the largest share, about 2.4 million taels of gold.
The other Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, Bai Siling, and Zhang Gong each shared 1.2 million taels of gold. Another 1,200,000 taels were given to the other surviving Iron Riders.
As for the remaining five million taels of pearl agate, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., Huang Yongtu took the initiative to take over this responsibility and decided to use the power of the Huang family to sell these things after he returned.
The final income was divided equally by Wang Chong, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, and Bai Siling.
-- No one objected.
From this operation, everyone has benefited.
Wang Chong naturally didn't say anything.
......
"Wang Chong!"
When night came, the stars were shrouded, and Wang Chong was sitting alone on the hill, looking at the night sky, when a voice came from behind.
"Siling?"
Wang Chong looked at Bai Siling, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he stood up.
"What's the matter?
Bai Siling glanced at him with disgust.
"How dare you!"
Wang Chong smiled bitterly and waved his hand again and again. The result of being familiar with him was like this, when Bai Siling didn't know his name, he still had some scruples and didn't dare to attack him.
But since experiencing that life-and-death battle and knowing the details of Wang Chong's background, Bai Siling has completely lost his scruples and threatens with force at every turn.
This one's strength is comparable to that of Yin Hou!
Where is Wang Chong her opponent.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. β
Bai Siling turned her anger into joy at this time, and as she spoke, she threw over a black thing the size of a fingernail:
"This thing is for you!"
"What?"
Wang Chong was surprised, and subconsciously took it in his hand, feeling light and fluttering, without any weight.
What he got from Li Tieyi was hidden in the cracks of his clothes. I watched it once, and it didn't work for me. I originally wanted to hand it over to you during the day, but the time was too tight, and Xu Qian was here, so it was not very convenient. β
Bai Siling flicked his hand and said as if he didn't care much.
Wang Chong flicked it violently in his heart, lowered his head, and glanced at it through the light of the stars, this is a thin silk yarn, only a thin layer.
The silk yarn was rolled up layer by layer, only the thickness of a small branch, and through the silk yarn, Wang Chong saw that there were faint ink stains on it.
Opening layer by layer, Wang Chong saw several small seal characters on the silk head:
γIron Cloth Skillγ
"It's really this!"
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at his head, but saw that Bai Siling had already brushed his head aside, revealing a piece of mutton fat white jade neck, and the blue slender fingers gently stroked the green silk of his temples, and his expression seemed slightly unnatural.
I don't know if it's an illusion or the shadow of the night, Wang Chong felt that Bai Siling's cheeks seemed to be a little red.
"Why? Actually, even if you don't give it to me, I won't say it. β
Wang Chong said with a silk yarn.
"You know?"
Bai Siling's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head violently, with an incredible expression.
"Nonsense, I'm not stupid. Li Tieyi's iron-clad skills have obviously not been cultivated to the point of perfection. If he didn't practice the exercises, it was strange that he didn't bring things with him. What's more, I also saw you lower your head and touch it!"
Wang Chong rolled his eyes.
"Bastard!"
Bai Siling was so angry that she stomped her feet, glared at Wang Chong fiercely, and walked away.
"Stinky boy, I wouldn't have given it to you if I knew it. β
In the distance, Bai Siling's angry voice was heard.
"Huh!"
Wang Chong chuckled, sounding itchy to his teeth. It's just that Bai Siling disappeared, but the laughter slowly disappeared.
Looking at the direction in which Bai Siling disappeared, Wang Chong's eyes changed uncertainly, and finally sighed deeply in his heart and withdrew his gaze.
He is not a fool, Bai Siling has some thoughts, even the blind can see it. But now, in all the future, he does not dare to accept it rashly.
......
Night till dawn.
At dawn, everyone finally waited for the court carrier pigeons. In fact, since yesterday, the pigeon did not fly back, and the court felt that something was wrong.
-- The pigeons with the golden hoops should fly back after the instructions were given. But the pigeon, which should have been there, did not fly back, which immediately attracted the attention of the other side.
So this time the pigeons were not the same.
This pigeon has a silver ring around its leg, and this pigeon can communicate with each other. The imperial court can send a message over, and Wang Chong can also send a message back.
This alone proves that the imperial court has indeed noticed this.
Zhang Gong was very fast, and according to the content of the carrier pigeon, he quickly replied to a letter. I wrote down all the information here in a letter and sent it over.
The first stage and the second phase of the actions have been completed, but the next actions have not yet been communicated by the imperial court, so even Zhang Gong does not know what to do next.
These require orders and notices from the imperial court.
