The palace of Linyi is still very luxurious.

Nineteen years ago, the Sui army conquered and broke through the capital, and once sacked the capital and the palace, and did not even let go of the temple. However, the Sui army evacuated after the sack, and Fan Fanzhi returned from the sea and immediately began to rebuild and repair the royal palace of the capital.

Nineteen years later, the Lion City was more prosperous, the royal palace was more splendid, and the temple was even grander.

In the depths of the palace, there is a royal family temple. Inside for the ancestors of the Fan family, Fan Fanzhi not only re-created the pure gold gold tablets for the ancestors, but also taller than the eighteen gold tablets that were robbed at the beginning, each of which was more than a zhang high and wide enough to have a door.

In addition, he also created eighteen pure gold statues for the eighteen ancestors as reparations for the robbery of their tablets.

The eighteen golden statues are all as high as a zhang.

A group of pirate leaders stood behind Li Shimin, looking at the golden tablet and the golden statue in this temple and were dumbfounded.

"It's all gold?"

"Well, pure gold, much purer than Daqin's golden dragon coins." The Great Qin Golden Dragon Coin looks shining with gold, but the gold content is only eighty-two, and it is also mixed with copper and other co-minting to make the gold coin brighter and harder.

"Mother, how many catties of gold does such a big gold statue have?"

Li Shimin looked at this golden statue how tall it is, "Generally, bronze statues of equal height have more than 1,000 catties, and this golden statue is as tall as 1,000 catties, I estimate that there must be a few thousand catties." ”

"I estimate that it must weigh five or six thousand pounds."

A Funan bandit leader immediately snapped his fingers there.

"If one or two taels of gold can be exchanged for eight taels of Great Qin Kaiyuan Tongbao in Guangnan, one catty of sixteen taels is exchanged for one hundred and twenty-eight guan, one thousand catties is one hundred and twenty-eight thousand, and these five thousand catties are ·······."

"5,000 catties is 640,000, and the eighteen gold people here are 11.52 million yuan. Of course, you forgot to count the eighteen door-sized golden tablets, each of which weighed thousands of pounds. ”

A group of pirate leaders were dumbfounded.

"So, isn't there no less than 100,000 catties of gold here? Can it be worth more than 10 million yuan? ”

"Yes, it's worth that much."

The breathing of the people became thick.

Li Shimin's heart is also not calm.

So much gold, is completely unexpected, although the history books have also contained, when Liu Song attacked Linyi, he had plundered more than 100,000 catties of gold, and the Sui army invaded Linyi 19 years ago, and also plundered a lot of gold.

But this is an amazing amount.

You must know that the annual gold output of the Sui Dynasty was only 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and the total gold output was only about 2,000 catties. 100,000 catties, with the output of the Sui Dynasty, it will take 50 years.

Even if the gold and silver production in the Central Plains is low, and the gold and silver production in Linyi is high, this is too high.

Li Shimin also knew that Linyi had the benefits of maritime trade, and Linyi traded with maritime merchants mostly in gold and silver, so Linyi had more gold and silver, but it was indeed too shocking.

The gold medals and gold figures in this temple alone are worth 123 million yuan.

With such a large amount of money, if you recruit troops and build warships, it will be very impressive. A big treasure ship is ten thousand, and it is only a million for him to build a hundred, and it costs at most a few dozen times a year to recruit a pirate, and it is only a few hundred thousand to recruit 10,000.

A pirate seemed to see a little bit of Li Shimin's thoughts, came to his side, and said in a low voice, "Erlang, this is a lot of money, and now we have captured the Lion City, if we use this gold to build warships, weapons, and recruit troops, we can completely stand on our own, and even call ourselves kings." ”

These words made Li Shimin breathe shorter.

Yes, the emperor is far away from the sky, and it is still nearly a thousand miles away from the southernmost sunset country capital of Great Qin, especially the climate here, so it is not easy for the Qin army to go deep here.

At that time, the Sui army also broke through the capital of Linyi, but in the end, the whole army had to be evacuated, and even because of the water and soil, there were countless illnesses and deaths on the last road.

The Lion City is completely self-reliant, it is a large port on the Maritime Silk Road, where it is convenient for business and trade, and it is surrounded by plains, and it can also be self-sufficient in farming.

Heart.

Li Shimin was indeed moved.

"Report, Zhang Peng, the Linyi guard, and the presidents of the merchant gang in the city ask to meet." A report from a pirate interrupted Li Shimin's thoughts.

This report also woke him up.

It is indeed tempting to establish himself as a king here, but it is not he Li Shimin who controls Lion City now, not to mention, there is a stronger force in this South China Sea, the Great Qin Royal South China Sea Fleet.

Shaking his head, Li Shimin sighed secretly.

"Let's go, meet the heroes of last night."

On the golden palace of King Linyi, Li Shimin met with Zhang Peng, Cui Liulang and others here.

The three families met here to celebrate their success.

Congratulations with wine and smiles.

"Li Xiancheng, there is bad news, although we successfully won the Lion City last night and captured Fan Fanzhi, Fan Fanzhi's son Fan Touli ran away."

Fan Touli is the prince of Linyi, and the name of the Cham is Jianda Po Dharma, who is brave and warlike, and very fierce. In the chaos last night, this person saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led his guards out of the city and fled. Right now, they must have gone to move the rescuers.

Li Shimin held the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't care.

"It's okay, just run."

"Let's discuss what to do with Lion City first."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at Li Shimin, who worked hard last night and finally won the Lion City, and now of course everyone cares about how to share the benefits.

However, the three forces also have their own ideas.

For example, many pirates under Li Shimin, they just want to grab a ticket and leave, and they don't want to occupy the Lion City for a long time, especially after seeing the golden people in the city, they even think about sharing the gold, and then go back to their hometowns to be rich men.

On the other hand, the Shang Gang thought that they wanted to control this city port for a long time, so that the Shang Gang could occupy this important port on the Maritime Silk Road.

As for Zhang Peng and others, most of them also hoped that the Qin army would come to take over the defense, and then they would join the imperial court and appoint officials. Some people simply want to go back to the Central Plains and return to their hometowns.

But no matter whether you leave or stay, you always have to take the spoils of war.

"Let me make a suggestion first, for the Hu merchants in the city, those Funan merchants, Zhenla merchants, Kunlun merchants, Tianzhu merchants, Persian merchants, Arab merchants, etc., it is best not to touch them, if we kill people, rob goods and steal money, then no Hu merchants will dare to come to the Lion City to stop for trade in the future, and no one will come here to do business, then the Lion City will become a dead city in the future." A merchant gang leader said.

"Our own Han merchants in the Central Plains can't harass and loot." Cui Liulang also said.
