Chapter Seventy-Five: A Windfall
Everyone walked in together.
This natural cave is the size of half an acre.
On the left, sacks are piled up into a small mountain, and when you touch them, you can tell that they are rice.
On the right are stacked spears, armor, swords, bows and arrows, and pig iron!
The military map records: 4,000 stone of grain, 1,000 pieces of armor, 2,000 spears, 300 swords, 80,000 catties of iron, 1,000 bows, and 50,000 arrows.
Look, the size of the storage should be about the same.
This is the military supplies that Japan supported the Southern Song Dynasty last year, but unfortunately the materials were not delivered, and the Song Dynasty was completely destroyed.
At first glance, supplies seem to be a lot, but when it comes to the level of state aid for life and death, it seems stingy. In particular, Meng Yuan was also a common enemy of Japan and the Song Dynasty, and Japan also received a lot of favors from the Song Dynasty. But when the Song Dynasty was on the verge of extinction, Japan not only refused to send reinforcements, but also was so stingy in material aid.
Li Luo first focused on the most valuable armor, and found that the armor styles were not the same, most of them were Japanese leather armor, and half of them were imitations of the black lacquer mountain iron armor of the Song Dynasty.
But whether it is Japanese leather armor or imitation Song Shanwen iron armor, the workmanship is very sophisticated. In any case, the Japanese have always been reliable in terms of technical craftsmanship, which is the merit of this nation.
The craftsmanship of spears and swords is no exceptional, and it is obviously better than that of Goryeo ordnance.
It's a pity that the bow and arrow are not the compound bows commonly used in the mainland, but the Japanese longbow: and the bow. Li Luo tried it, and the bow strength was less than one stone, which was considered a light bow.
It's not that the Japanese can't make strong bows, but they pay more attention to the frequency and accuracy of archery. In addition, Japan has few plains and many mountains and forests, and the battlefield space is often narrow and cramped, so it is more suitable for light bows with fast frequency and high accuracy.
Although the strong bow is powerful, it also has high requirements for the archer, and at the same time, the frequency of shooting is slow, and the arm is numb after a few arrows. Compared to the continental strong bow, the Japanese light bow can shoot better and continuously.
Thinking of this, Li Luo thought again, the treasure island is mountainous and forested, and the space is also small and cramped, and the Japanese light bow is the most suitable, just to deal with the high mountains on the island.
Looking at the real military supplies in front of them, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning both had a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, it was worth the trip, and I really found it.
Li Luo couldn't wait to hug Cui Xiuning and kiss her, if she wasn't familiar with the map of the island, it would be difficult for him to find this island just by relying on an inaccurate military map.
Yan Ying and the others were excited and in awe, at this time, they completely believed that Li Luo had the help of gods and men, how could it not be a big thing?
Once the wolf lord can really succeed, they will be rich and noble!
"Congratulations to the wolf lord!"
Everyone couldn't help but bow down together to congratulate. With the help of God and man, it is more urgent than the large number of military supplies in front of us.
Li Luo reacted quickly, immediately knelt down in public, bowed solemnly, and said loudly: "Lao Jun is above!" The servant pious prostrate to say: Inherit God from the true dream, Meng God bless in the micro, fortunately even, dare to be insincere...... Eternal sacrifices, prayers and vows! ”
Cui Xiuning also had to kneel down and pretend, complaining in her heart: The fugitive is not an actor and is really blind.
Li Luo put on a performance, looked at his subordinates who were respectful because of Lao Jun, and lightly ordered: "Ah Shan, go and inform the people on the boat, Lao Jun's dream is true, and the thing is really found, let the strong men get off the boat and carry it." ”
Soon after Ahsan left, he heard thunderous cheers from a nearby ship, and was clearly thrilled that the divine revelation had come true.
The types of materials on the munitions map have now been discovered. But Cui Xiuning was more careful after all, she went deepest into the cave, and stabbed the ground with a knife as she searched.
Li Luo walked over quietly, he knew what Cui Xiuning was doing. She should have suspected that there was money buried in a hidden place.
Thinking that she was a policeman, Li Luo knew that she should not be looking for luck in a random manner, but found a clue.
Soon, Cui Xiuning stopped in a corner, and then gave Li Luo an affirmative look.
Li Luo understood, he pointed to that place, and said to the people behind him: "I remember that there is another thing in the dream, bury it in this location, dig it up and take a look." ”
Yan Falcon and the others stepped forward in high spirits, and after a while, they really dug out two boxes...... No, there are two more mouthfuls underneath.
A large wooden box of four mouths and two feet square!
"Open!" Li Luo said, thinking about gold, gold, gold...
The lock of the box was slashed open by two knives, and as soon as the lid was opened, it suddenly became white.
Not gold...... It's silver! All four boxes are full.
Li Luo's expectations were too high, and he was somewhat disappointed at this time. But soon, he was happy again.
"Wolf Lord...... That's a lot of silver! ”
"This ...... Is there tens of thousands of taels? ”
"Four boxes of silver ingots, how many great things can be done!"
"This is the treasure that Lao Jun gave to the wolf lord!"
Cui Xiuning's eyes were full of light, and she roughly estimated that these four boxes of silver would be sixty or seventy thousand taels, which would be converted into thirteen or forty thousand copper coins!
What is a Flying Windfall? Here it is.
Li Luo was very excited in his heart, but his face was calm. He thanked Lao Jun again, and picked up a silver ingot.
Li Luo had sold ancient silver ingots before and was quite experienced. As soon as he started to measure it, he knew that it was twelve taels. This silver ingot is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, and there is an inscription on the back, and sure enough: the tax on the door really spends twelve taels of silver.
This is not the silver aided by Japan, but the commercial tax silver of the Southern Song Dynasty: the exit tax.
True flower silver refers to the grade of silver, which is the highest quality silver, with a silver content of 90%.
These two boxes of silver are not only government tax silver, but also real flower silver with uniform specifications and the highest grade. What does it mean?
It shows that most of this silver is a special fund for the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty to prepare to deal with the Japanese shogunate and persuade Japan to send troops to help.
It's just that the shogunate's attitude of refusing to send troops is very resolute, and he knows that he can only waste money if he spends money, so he saves this special money for the imperial court.
However, his court was gone, and his returning fleet was repeatedly changed, so he had to hide his supplies and silver here for the time being.
As a result, all of them were cheaper than Li Luo.
With this windfall, Li Luo didn't have to worry about military salaries for a year. What kind of bone china do you burn? Not available!
At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, but it was the people who came down the ship to carry the supplies.
"Cover the box and carry it to the ship first!" Li Luo instructed, "Yan Falcon, Yan Tong, you go and organize them to carry food and weapons!" ”
…………
Thousands of men worked together, and in less than an hour, 4,000 stone of grain, 1,000 sets of armor, 2,000 spears, 300 swords, 1,000 bows, and 50,000 arrows were all carried onto the ship.
More than 2,000 people were beaming. Because the little wolf lord has an order, everyone will be rewarded when they arrive on that treasure island.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the fleet set off again, loaded with personnel and materials, and rode the wind and waves in the direction of the southeast treasure island.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning returned to the cabin, still unable to calm down their excitement.
This time it's really profitable. 670,000 taels of silver, military supplies worth 780,000 taels, the total harvest is close to 300,000 guan!
Li Luo suddenly hugged Cui Xiuning violently, pecked her smooth forehead, and then jumped out of her attack range in her shock.
