"This battle was fought so beautifully, and the king's deeds are remembered! As for the reward for meritorious deeds, this king will reward the three armies in the city tonight, and let them have a full meal for the craftsmen and slaves who have been rescued, as well as the old and weak women and children; Tang Bi will leave this matter to you...... Remember that alcohol is not allowed in the entire army. ”

"No! The last general commanded. ”

"Although this battle is going very smoothly, but our army also has a lot of shortcomings, you go back and discuss with the people below to see what is not good enough, and tomorrow the big guys will talk about it." Guo Qi said to everyone: "If there is nothing else, let's disperse!" Yiming and Hu Qiong stayed. ”

"Retirement ......"

After everyone left, Guo Qi walked down from the main seat, and Hu Qiong and Song Yiming also quickly stood up; Guo Qi walked up to the two and said, "Do you know why this king left the two of you behind?" ”

"The last general (lowly position) does not know, and I ask the lord to teach me." The two said in unison.

"There are two things to keep you, the first thing is that in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, there are more than a hundred women, who should have been robbed by a mountain carving, this king wants to discuss with you, what should these women do?"

"Lord, the last general feels that this matter has to be said by Lord Song, the last general is a rough man, you can let the last general lead the troops to fight, this idea is not good for the last general." Hu Qiong scratched her head and said; "Otherwise, these women and lords, you can stay, it just so happens that the palace is short of maids."

"If this king wants to stay, let the two of you give me ideas!" Guo Qi gave Hu Qiong a roll of his eyes.

"My lord, I have an idea when I get down."

"What's the idea?"

"My lord, most of the brothers in our army are singles, and these women can be rewarded to meritorious officers and soldiers, of course, this must first be done with the consent of those women; Not only these women in the city lord's mansion, but also those who think that as long as they are single women or widows in the city, they can actually do it. ”

"Yiming, I didn't expect you to think of a piece with this king; Then the matter will be left to you; In addition, all the captives who committed the most heinous crimes were beheaded and displayed to the public, and the rest were all punished with hard labor and went to the mines to dig. Guo Qi finally decided: "The iron ore in Baili City is very important to us, Yi Ming will immediately send people back, and transfer soldiers from Purun to Baili City to garrison it, the food in the city will not be moved, and the rest of the baggage will be transported back to Yongcheng, and all the craftsmen who make iron will also be moved to the Yongcheng Workshop, and Baili City will only be responsible for ironmaking ...... in the future."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

"This second thing, this king has never been able to figure it out." Guo Qi frowned and said: "You see that this city lord's mansion is built so luxuriously, and even the bronze lion is placed at the door, which shows that the mountain carving has made a lot of money for so many years!" But how could there be only so much gold and silver! That's a little too little, isn't it? ”

"What does the lord mean is that there are still a large number of gold and silver jewels hidden in the mountain carving?" Song Yiming said.

"But now that the mountain eagle is dead, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it even for a while!" Hu Qiong said.

"My lord, I have an idea."

"If you have any ideas, tell me quickly." Guo Qi asked eagerly.

"My lord, maybe those women in the backyard know! They are the people who have been following the mountain carving. ”

"That's right! Why didn't this king think of it! Let's go to the backyard. ”

Guo Qi took Song Yiming, Hu Qiong and Li Wu to the backyard and called all the more than 100 women together, most of them were wearing silk and satin, whether voluntary or forced, these women were the wives and concubines of the mountain carving.

"The mountain eagle is dead, and you are wives and concubines, and you should be beheaded according to the law."

"Spare your life! Spare your life! We were all forced, we were all robbed, please let us go......" When they heard that they were going to kill themselves, all the women cried and begged for mercy.

"Okay, don't cry wolf." Guo Qi said angrily: "I know that some of you are forced, but there are also some of you who are voluntary, and some of you still have small calculations in their hearts; I know that a treasure has been buried, but I am too lazy to let the sergeants search them one by one, and now I will give you a chance, if you are willing to tell you where the treasure is hidden, I can spare your life, and I can also reward the person who provides the clue a sum of silver. ”

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, a woman said: "My lord, I know, I know, it's in the rockery in the back garden." ”

"My lord, I also know that there is a dry well in the backyard, and there is one in it."

"My lord, there's a secret room in the backyard study."

……

The crowd chattered and confessed to six locations in a row, and the few people who confessed were left alone, and the others went back and forth.

"Wuzi, you take someone to find the place they say."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

After Li Wu left, Guo Qi looked at the six people and asked, "What is the relationship between the six of you and the mountain carving?" ”

"My lord, we were all robbed by a mountain carving, please let us go home!"

"Please, sir......" The six knelt in front of Guo Qi and pleaded.

"Even if I let you go, can you still go there? It's not very peaceful out there right now. ”

The six women looked at each other, bowed their heads, and stopped talking; In fact, Guo Qi is right, even if they are released, they have nowhere to go, most of their family members have died in the hands of the bandits, and now the world is chaotic, once they leave this mountain, they will either be robbed or buried in the mouth of wild beasts.

"You don't have to worry, I will give you an idea, there are still many children in my army who have not married, if you want, this king can fulfill your ......"

Hearing Guo Qi's words, the six of them all blushed and lowered their heads, for these women, there is nothing unacceptable to remarry, these women are not women with strong temperaments, if they are women with strong temperaments, I am afraid that they will have committed suicide when they are robbed.

"Okay, then I'll sit for you, and go back and get you some sisters to talk to."

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, Li Wu came in and reported: "My lord, a large number of gold, silver and jewelry have been found in six places. ”

"Yiming, give each of them a hundred taels of silver as a reward; Li Wu took your men and took out all the gold, silver, and jewelry for inspection. Guo Qi ordered continuously.

"No! Commanded by humility. The two of them answered.

Soon all the gold, silver and jewelry were brought out one by one, and there were more than two hundred large chests in total, each of which was probably able to hold more than 10,000 taels of silver, which was more than two million taels when added together, and some of them were gold and jewelry.

With this experience of the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Qi ordered Hu Qiong to go to the mansions of other leaders to concoct the same method, and found more than 100 large boxes, after preliminary inspection, a total of 3,283,500 taels of silver, 107,250 taels of gold, and 32 boxes of jewelry, worth 5,600,000 taels.
