Chapter 609: No Return at Sea
"This big deal is actually engaged in six parts of copper, three points of silver, and one part of gold. At first, I thought that you were short of money at home, but when I checked, I found that you were not short of money at all, just to save up some funeral goods.
At that time, I was thinking, all of you family members like to bury silver so much, should I run a business, how about you say that you buried it directly in the silver mine of Fuso? Where there is much silver. ”
Cai Cong said with a smile, everyone was holding back a mouthful of old blood, this was a curse to their family to die in a foreign country!
"This is the silver that everyone has exchanged for their own abilities, don't say that it is thrown into the river for the funeral, you can't care about it, you are really wrong."
"Is this what you got in exchange for your abilities? Point face no? 100,000 soldiers in Fusang shed blood and tears to bring so much silver every year, what did you pay for Lingnan? That's Lao Tzu bribing you with money in order to prevent you from harming the people in the country. It's good now, you can't use the silver that you have worked so hard to dig out of the ground, and you want to bury it back in the ground for me, and the blood of the warriors will be shed in vain? ”
Cai Congpi said with a smile, everyone couldn't raise their heads in shame, saying that it was not bad that they got it for nothing.
"You're welcome to say, all of your silver is for free, but no matter how much money you can have, whoever hoards the silver again, I have a way to make him bankrupt, if you don't believe it, we'll see."
Cai Cong continued, everyone was shocked, others may not be afraid of Cai Cong, but when it comes to money, they are really not opponents, this is a person known as the God of Wealth!
"I have said goodbye to all of you, and I have time to look farther, this world is wide! You know that staring at your own one-third of an acre of land will be eliminated sooner or later. ”
Cai Cong said that he pushed away the people who were in the way and left, and everyone looked at each other to see him leave, it would be a shame if he said anything cruel, and he couldn't do it.
"What is this called? You and I just accumulated some coffin boards, and this also provoked him? This man is too nosy, isn't he? A marquis of the Li family couldn't help but complain, everyone else didn't speak, were they wrong? Naturally, they are not wrong. From ancient times to the present, the dignitaries and nobles did not prepare some rich funeral goods for themselves? Otherwise, I won't be able to live this day under the Nine Springs.
"Let's go! Even if the old man's reputation in this life is completely ruined, it is said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, this time he is really a fan of money, it is really ~ alas. Wei Zheng said and hid his face and retreated, even if his family was rich, life was still so frugal, he didn't know how he got involved.
"Let's go! When the old man went back, he told his son to bury Cai Cong in the future, and I wanted to see what he used as a funeral item. Li Xiaogong said and left with his hands behind his back, he had a sentence in his heart that was not easy to say, that is, what Cai Cong and his uncle would use as funeral goods when they died after a while.
Li Shimin's ruined intestines in the deep palace are all green, and if he agrees to Cai Cong's request just now, then the income of the entire Lingnan will go to the treasury. During this time, he tried his best to cut some nobles, even if it was to reduce their fiefdoms, it was good, but unfortunately except for a few innocuous little sparrows, he didn't even hit a single swallow, and he was careful not to let himself catch the handle.
What's even more hateful is that he sent someone to wait for Cai Cong on the road, but Cai Cong said righteously, Your Majesty's compassion for your subordinates really makes your ministers grateful, and from now on, the ministers will never mention anything that goes to the treasury, please rest assured.
When Li Shimin heard this, his liver was shaking. I wasted such a great opportunity, and I don't know when I will wait for the next time.
And when Li Shimin's liver hurts, there are people in pain all over the distant sea, Xu Yuan endured the severe pain to bandage his wounds, and the ship was full of corpses and wounded soldiers. He tried to bandage the wound on his leg, and with his long knife he commanded coldly: "Throw all these betrayers into the sea, count the water and food, and see if there is any damage to the grain land." Stop the boat and send people to check if there are any natives on the island, we rest and recuperate for half a month, and set off after half a month, brothers believe me, we are not far from home, we have persevered for four years, glory and wealth are waiting for us, do you think it is good to stay in this place where birds don't, there is our hometown? ”
Xu Yuan's tone was full of bewilderment, he had encountered too many in the past four years, the invincible power of manpower on the sea, the beasts and poisonous insects and beasts on the desert island, and the terrifying malaria, he almost couldn't hold on many times, but every time he thought of the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
He still remembers that the prince, who was not as tall as his chest, said to himself in an extremely solemn tone, you may not be able to come back this time, you may have to wander at sea for countless years, boundless loneliness and fear are tormenting you, but I hope you will remember that you are carrying the hope of the world, as long as you can find those crops, there will be no famine in the world, do you know what that means?
He knelt on the ground and did not speak, he knew what it meant, and it was not until he had been adrift at sea for a long time that he understood what the prince meant, betrayal, killing, fear, and aimless confusion hanging over everyone's heads at all times.
His demagogic words at the moment can no longer make the people under his hands have the slightest response, 1,200 nights that do not know where they will go have made them lose confidence in life, and let them adhere to the belief of Hangxin is not loyalty to Datang, but more and more deep longing for their parents, wives and children.
"Lao Tzu also knows that it's useless to say anything now, but you have to believe me, we are not far from Datang, maybe it will only take a few months, and we will be able to set foot on the land of Datang."
"Brother Xu, don't comfort us, the storm a month ago didn't know which direction it blew us, the big and small islands along the way are so unfamiliar, maybe we are going the opposite way now. Now the brothers are accustomed to drifting on the sea, but the thought of the old and young in the family cannot help but feel sad. ”
Some people screamed sadly, but in fact, there was no hope left, and he followed him only because he had led them through four years of ups and downs.
"Don't talk about it, go ashore, rest, and talk about the rest later." Xu Yuan said helplessly, all his subordinates were shocked, they felt solid on the shore, without the threat of those strong winds and waves, they could sleep more steadily.
This land is lush and green, and as soon as Xu Yuan and the others landed on the shore, they found that there was actually a road opened up by the sea, and their hearts suddenly sighed, there are people on this island!
