Chapter 8: Getting Rich (4)

"Lord Wang, this box is divided into two layers, each layer is a five-pole horse lance; All are finely made fine lances; In order to prevent rust, the blade and copper are also coated with tung oil. Tang Bi said after examining the other horses; If these were all horses, there would have been thousands of strokes! ”

"These can't all be lances; Open that short long box and take a look. Guo Qi said as he pointed to the box next to him.

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, the two guards immediately stepped forward and pried open the box, the same smell of tung oil, and it was also covered with straw; Tang Bi picked up the straw and said, "The prince is a sword that cuts horses. ”

The sword is actually not a sword, more precisely, a long knife, composed of two parts, the blade and the handle, the blade is actually a big sword, made of fine iron with a sharp front end, both sides of the blade, the blade is three feet long, the handle is soaked and dried by hardwood through tung oil, and then wrapped in a layer of arrowroot cloth and then soaked and dried, repeated three times; Until it is as hard as iron, it is qualified, and four feet is taken as the handle.

The sword is a sharp weapon against the light cavalry, and its users are all wrestlers, wearing heavy armor, and slashing with waist force, like a wall to advance, and the people and horses are shattered everywhere they pass.

Guo Qi said excitedly: "Hurry up and find out if there are any foot soldiers with heavy armor." ”

Infantry heavy armor and horse slashing sword is the standard equipment of heavy armor foot soldiers, Guo Qi's fiefdom Yongzhou is located in the western frontier, bordering the Xirong Khanate, Xirong cavalry is very strong, if Guo Qi can have an elite composed of heavy armor infantry in his hands, then Guo Qi's life has a strong guarantee.

Soon, Tang Bi and several guards moved several square boxes out of it, and several people took out the contents of the boxes.

Ling Jing, who was standing beside Guo Qi, exclaimed: "This is a complete set of armor and cavalry equipment, and that is a set of infantry heavy armor, I didn't expect that there are so many good things in this miscellaneous warehouse." ”

To put it bluntly, armor and cavalry equipment is the armor used by heavy cavalry, which is divided into human armor and horse armor; The horse armor is composed of five parts, namely: face curtain, chicken neck, chest, horse body armor, and back; The 'curtain' is a long, narrow piece of metal cover with eyeholes to protect the horse's face, the 'chicken neck' is the armor of the horse's neck, which is made of armor pieces and can be fastened with a buckle in the front, and the 'chest, body, and back' is a large piece of armor of the horse in the front, middle and back.

"Quick, get all the boxes out and see how many there are." Guo Qi said excitedly.

Soon all the chests were carried outside, and after being counted: there were 1,200 horses, 1,000 sets of armor and cavalry equipment, 800 swords, and 600 sets of infantry heavy armor; Guo Qi couldn't close his mouth when he saw these things, and with them, in time, Guo Qi could form two elite troops.

"Tang Bi, these things are in your custody, and they are transported by different ships, and they are guarded by reliable brothers." Guo Qi instructed Tang Bi.

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, Sun Guoqing hurriedly ran to Guo Qi and said, "The prince is not good, something happened." ”

"What's the panic? What's wrong? Guo Qi scolded Sun Guoqing and said.

"Lord Wang, there is a problem in the granary, after we take out the upper layer of grain, the middle and lower layers of inferior and moldy grain, and there are also stones, straw and other sundries in it." Sun Guoqing said to Guo Qi.

"This group of corrupt officials must have lost their grain reserves." Guo Qi said viciously.

Then Guo Qi frowned and asked, "The grain in the middle and lower layers is moldy, why is the grain on it okay!" ”

"Lord Wang, this grain cellar is greasy, and the upper and middle layers of the grain cellar are separated." Sun Guoqing explained.

"How many have you moved now?"

"About 70,000 stone ......"

"Lord Wang, take a look!" Zhuo Yidao ran over with a broken spear and said.

Guo Qi took it and looked at it, this spear looked nothing on the surface, but the material used to make the gun barrel was not qualified at all, as long as it was broken, it would break; Guo Qi angrily threw the spear to the ground.

"Lord Wang, out of the spear, as well as armor, swords, bows, arrows, shields, and all the weapons, except for the ones placed at the door, all of them are indiscriminate...... Zhuo Yidao clenched his fists and said.

Guo Qi was silent when he heard this, and thought to himself: "The Cangcheng of Jingzhao Mansion is the national treasury of my Great Qi, and it is like this when I come here, so it can be seen that other places are not much better; This Daqi officialdom is full of corrupt officials from top to bottom, and even the state treasury does not let go, is it that the sky is going to kill my Daqi? ”

"Lord, lord, lord......" Tang Bi looked at Guo Qi with a distracted gaze and shouted softly.

Guo Qi came back to his senses and asked Zhuo Yidao, "How much armament have you moved?" ”

"Lord Wang, as long as it is good, all the good ones have been moved, there are about 3,000 sets of iron armor, 5,000 sets of leather armor, 17,000 spears, 13,000 swords, 7,000 shields, 5,000 crossbows, 150,000 arrows, and 230,000 arrows." Zhuo Yidao reported to Guo Qi.

"How many ships are empty now?" Guo Qi asked.

"There are probably sixty or seventy more." Sun Guoqing replied.

"Where's Ma Jiu! Bring Ma Jiu to this king. ”

"The villain sees the prince." Ma Jiu hurried over.

"Rong Zheng's private treasury is there, you know!"

"The villain knows, it's not far from Cangcheng."

"Take this king Guo Qi."

Rong Zheng's private warehouse is in the north of Cangcheng, and the distance is about a mile, Guo Qi rode on a horse and led a group of people to Rong Zheng's private warehouse; It's not so much a private vault as a large courtyard with the tall courtyard door closed.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Tang Bi took the initiative to slam the door forward.

"Who's on the big night?" An impatient voice came from inside.

"Squeak!" Then the door was opened, and a head sticked out of the crack in the door, and when he saw so many people, he asked Tang Bi, "What are you doing, do you know whose place this is?" ”

"We were sent by Lord Rong to pull things, so hurry up and open the door." Tang Bihu fake tiger said.

"Sent by the master, I haven't heard of it!" The steward wondered.

Tang Bi stepped forward and pushed the door open and said, "You have so much nonsense, brothers rushed in." ”

Only then did the steward realize that something was wrong, so he pulled his neck and shouted, "Someone! Come on! Someone robbed. ”

As soon as the steward's words fell, more than a dozen men rushed out of the room not far away with weapons and shirtless, but seeing so many people pouring in at once, these dozen men also panicked, and they were taken down by Tang Bi and others without much resistance.

Tang Biti slipped in front of Guo Qi with the steward; Guo Qi asked the steward: "This is Rong Zheng's private treasury!" ”

The person in charge has also seen the world, and looking at Guo Qi's clothes, he knew that Guo Qi was not an ordinary person, so he stammered: "Yes, yes...... This is the Rong family's private library, and the villain is in charge here. ”

Guo Qi nodded and said, "Then tell me what is in this private vault?" ”

"There are 60,000 stones of grain, 20,000 stones of salt, 10,000 stones of tea, 30,000 horses of cloth, 10,000 horses of silk, 10,000 horses of silk, 3,000 catties of various medicinal materials, 2,000 catties of refined iron, 35,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 taels ......of gold," replied the steward, who did not dare to conceal anything.

There are a lot of things in the Rong family's private warehouse, and they are like salt, tea, cloth, and medicinal materials, which are all needed by Guo Qi; If Guo Qi had come a day late, I am afraid that these things would have been transported to Beidi's hands.
