Chapter 148: Heading for the Fortress Era

The Quang Ninh Treasury is not far from the government office, and it is only two streets away.

There were black-clothed and black-armored Jiang family soldiers in front of and behind the treasury waiting for them. The leader of the team was a thousand households, and when he saw Jiang Chuan coming, he hurriedly came to see him.

Jiang Chuan jumped off his horse, threw the reins to one of the guards, and said to the officer, "Open the gate." ”

The officer of the thousand households received the order, took out a person dressed in the Qing Dynasty official mansion from a small room on the side and threw it on the ground, and replied: "Master Hou, this guy is the treasurer of the treasury, and he caught us before he could run." ”

After finishing speaking, he kicked the treasurer and shouted: "Keep your dog's eyes wide open, this is the Marquis of Wu'an of the Ming Dynasty, General Jiang of the General Army of Southern Liaoning, don't hurry up and kowtow to the Hou Ye." ”

Jiang Chuan listened to the tone of this thousand households, and knew that this was originally the Ming army. Generally, if it is a soldier of his own lineage, he will never say these superfluous words.

The treasurer cautiously glanced up at Jiang Chuan, looked at Jiang Chuan with a cold face, and didn't dare to speak, just knelt down and kowtowed.

"Are you Han or Tartar?" Jiang Chuan stared at him and asked.

"Return, return to the marquis, the slave is a Han person, and he was originally from this Guangning Mansion." The treasurer whispered tremblingly, still not daring to raise his head.

"Since you are Han, why do you want to work for the Tartars?" Jiang Chuan's voice became stern, and he stared at the man and whispered.

The man's body trembled, and he suddenly fell to the ground and begged for mercy in a panic: "Hou, Hou Ye spare his life!" The minions were also forced, and they really didn't really want to sell their lives for the Tartars. Fortunately, relying on the Hou Ye's army Tianwei today, he recovered Guangning and drove away the Tartars, so that the slaves could be back to the Han people. ”

Jiang Chuan sneered, and he was extremely disgusted with this guy in his heart: "Be a Han again? The Han people don't have the kind of self-proclaimed servants like you. Since you are going to be a slave, then Benhou will send you to meet your Manchurian masters. Shut it up first. ”

Turning his head and glancing at Bai Mu, Bai Mu understood, walked over and threw the back collar of that guy directly to the side and said to the two guards next to him: "Locked up in the government prison." ”

The two guards nodded, and one of them dragged the arm of the guy to the government like a dead dog, and the guy kept crying and begging for mercy.

"All the Tartar officials and officials who are caught, regardless of the nationality, are locked up first, these people are still of some use." Jiang Chuan was silent for a moment and then instructed Bai Mu.

"No! It will be done in the end. Bai Mu said.

"Don't say anything superfluous in the future." Jiang Chuan glanced at the Qianhu and said lightly.

Although Jiang Chuan's expression was very indifferent, there was a kind of fierceness in his eyes, which frightened the thousand households, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general will know his mistake." His body trembled so much that he didn't dare to move.

Jiang Chuan stared at him for a while, and then said: "It's better to be a soldier, I only look at the merits of the war, not anything else, don't save the extra thoughts in the future, so as not to mistake myself." ”

The thousand households hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and said: "The last general will know his mistake, and from now on he will strictly follow the teachings of the great marshal, and dare not make another mistake." ”

"Get up, open the door"

Only then did the thousand households get up and open the door of the treasury, and then dodged to the side.

After speaking, he hurriedly took out the key to the treasury and opened the door, and then respectfully stepped aside.

Jiang Chuan took two steps forward, but stopped again and asked, "Has anyone ever been in the treasury?" ”

The thousand households hurriedly said: "Lord Houhou, no one else has ever entered except General Ran Wu. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded when he heard this, and then continued to walk inside.

Bai Mu followed in with the guards, and the last two guards stood on both sides of the gate of the treasury, and the soldiers next to them hurriedly gave way to their positions.

The treasury of Guangning City occupies a wide area, Jiang Chuan took a look, and there were a total of three courtyards, and the first one should be for the soldiers who guarded the treasury. The second entrance is where the treasurer and the clerks live. The third courtyard is the largest courtyard, the courtyard wall is as high as two zhang, and there are high corner towers at the four corners.

The core building is, of course, several warehouses, which are distributed to store five or six warehouses such as silver, silk, porcelain, pig iron, tea, leather, and salt.

Jiang Chuan went in one by one to check it, but there was not much money in the treasury, at best, it was only one or two thousand taels. However, the stock of silk, porcelain and other materials is not small.

The largest stock was the skin, which filled a whole room, and the bundles were neatly tied.

Seeing so many skins, Jiang Chuan was also very surprised. But Weiwei has always been able to understand. Liaodong and Mongolia produce the most of these skins.

Although leather goods are valuable in the Central Plains of Guannei, they are really not valuable things in Liaodong.

After looking at all the warehouses, Jiang Chuan was still very satisfied with this harvest. Although there is not much cash in cash, these things can also be counted as millions of taels, which is not a big profit.

After thinking about it for a while, most of the Egawa silk and porcelain were recycled by the system, leaving only a small part for backup. These silks and porcelain alone were sold in the system market for more than half a hundred thousand taels of silver.

After opening the financial list of the system, the money unit has exceeded 400,000 gold coins, which makes Jiang Chuan very satisfied.

With this more than 400,000 gold, in addition to the 100,000 gold consumed by the system upgrade, the remaining more than 300,000 gold can also do a lot of things.

Thinking of the system upgrade, Jiang Chuan switched to the data panel of the reputation value and looked at it, and found that the current reputation value had risen to as much as 120,000.

Obviously, this time he laid down Guangning and made his reputation directly skyrocket by more than 50,000.

Now that the reputation value and gold coins have met the conditions for the system to be promoted to the fortress era, that is, it can be upgraded, and Jiang Chuan's heart was suddenly full of anticipation and apprehension.

It is expected that after the system upgrade, the overall productivity of the system will be greatly improved. I don't know if the system upgrade will produce the units I want.

But it's useless to think so much now. Now that the conditions have been met, it is imperative to upgrade.

"Now let's start upgrading." Egawa gave instructions to the system.

"Please confirm that this upgrade of the system will consume 100,000 gold and 100,000 reputation points, do you want to confirm the upgrade?" The strange voice of the system sounded in my heart.

"Confirm the upgrade."

"The system is now being upgraded, and it will be completed in 10 days. During the system upgrade, all operations at the base will continue as usual. The system's strange voice continued.

The system fell silent after saying this.

It took 10 days? It's not to give birth, why don't you say it will take ten months? Jiang Chuan pursed his lips and complained in his heart.

By the way, he opened the financial data panel and looked at it, and found that there were only more than 300,000 gold coins left. After checking the reputation list, I found that there were only more than 20,000 reputation points left, and it was really deducted by the system.

Leaving the matter of the system upgrade behind, Jiang Chuan said to Bai Mu after taking people out of the treasury: "Let's go to the granary again, you send someone back to find Sima Muyi of the Chinese army, and ask him to bring someone over to count the accounts of the treasury and remake the register." ”

Bai Mu agreed, turned around and sent two guards to the prefect's yamen to inform Mu Yi, and he followed Jiang Chuan to check the official warehouse.
