Chapter 468: Great Gain
"Whoa!" Bags of copper coins rang like flowing water on the deck. (.marshmallow)
Several soldiers smiled and carried shovels to shovel the scattered Jiajing Tongbao and Tianqi Tongbao from the ground into the bamboo basket. A few more soldiers threaded the numbers with a thousand strings of fine twine.
Guan Tao was simply crazy, feeling that he had never seen so much money in his life.
These copper coins only accounted for a very small part of the property looted by Jiannu, because they were cheap, or they were not easy to carry, so they were used by Dongyi as ballast.
Kong Zhaojun was defeated so quickly that he didn't have time to take away the mountains of military assets, and he didn't even have time to put a fire, but now he cheapened the Ningxiang army. A dozen boats were full of copper coins, gold, silver, and silk.
Guan Tao just estimated that there were about 150,000 taels of silver, millions of copper coins, and 1,000 pieces of silk. It's a pity that there are fewer jewelry, jade and gold that are easy to carry, only more than 100 taels of gold and two boxes of antique jade, and the rest were probably taken to Shandong by Yue Tuo.
These are all activity money, and as for the food, armor, weapons, and cloth piled up in the town, there are countless amounts, which are enough for the current scale of the Ningxiang Army for three years.
Since following Sun Yuan and becoming his big housekeeper, Guan Tao has never felt that he has a lot of money. There is basically no money-making industry under General Sun's name, and the output in the land of thousands of households in Ningxiang is basically negligible. Sun Yuan had to feed so many soldiers, and he had to build guns and cannons, and the silver on hand was like flowing water. If it weren't for the capture of the previous victories, Sun Yuan would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Now, suddenly getting such a windfall, Guan Tao suddenly felt that his waist was also stiffened
。 I didn't think to myself: I might as well fight a few more battles like this. It would be good if this Jiannu stayed in Hebei and never left again.
Strangely enough, Pablo didn't know when he got into the cabin and approached the copper coins, but instead of picking up the coins on the ground and studying them carefully in the light, he was smacking.
Guan Tao raised his vigilance: "Minibus, what do you want to do?" ”
"Nothing, just see." Pablo said: "General Sun is not going to build cannons, he is short of copper." ”
Boss Guan seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, and immediately jumped up: "Don't beat my idea, don't think about it." ”
Pablo: "You need a lot of brass to build a cannon, that's what the general meant, can you handle it?" ”
The boss shouted: "Don't talk about your artillery, your artillery is of no use." When we fought the old camp of Jiannu Huangcun, we didn't see it, how many enemies were hit when a few cannons were fired? ”
Pablo was not convinced: "Later, after the enemy's cavalry fell into the trench, my artillery killed and wounded a lot of enemies?" ”
Guan Tao sneered: "If you don't mention that battle, you will just bully Jiannu and have no power to fight back." To tell you the truth, your artillerymen eat the most money on weekdays, but their combat results are the worst. No matter what, even if those kills are considered your achievements, but in the end, a few shots were fired, and what was the result, even the cannons were broken. Now, you're just a decoration, a dry eater. If you ask the general to go, I don't have anything here. ”
Pablo felt greatly insulted, and did not speak, but took out a white handkerchief from his arms and threw it in front of Guan Tao.
Boss Guan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Pablo: "Anyway, I'm going to duel you, and if you're a gentleman, accept my challenge." ”
"Duel?" Guan Tao looked at Pablo, who was tall and long-armed, and then looked at his hemp legs, and his face was green.
Pablo: "It doesn't matter if you insult me, but insulting our artillery is insulting my cause, and in an hour we will see you on the banks of the Grand Canal at the head of the town, with swords and muskets to choose from." So I went and asked the donkey to be our witness. ”
With that, he ran out of the cabin in a rage
。
"Who's afraid of you, well, we'll see you in an hour, with a musket." In front of his subordinates, Guan Tao refused to lose face. He originally wanted to choose a sword, but after thinking about it, he couldn't compare with this Xiyi barbarian in terms of martial arts or physical strength. After thinking about it, I still chose the musket.
However, he also knew in his heart that this surnamed Ba had played with muskets all his life, and he was not his opponent anyway, so he would really die in the hands of this bastard later. ()
The more Guan Tao thought about it, the more scared he became, and he didn't have the heart to do anything anymore, so he grabbed the account book and hurriedly ran to find Sun Yuan.
"What, Pablo wants to duel with you, what kind of ability is it to bully you, it's not a heavyweight at all!" Sun Yuan's cabin was filled with silver and made a loud sound as the ship tossed, like beautiful music.
Hearing this, Sun Yuan was angry and funny, his eyes fell on the middle-aged figure of Boss Guan, who had been deformed into a mess, and said: "This is the custom of Europeans, once there is a conflict between the two and it cannot be perfectly resolved, there is only the road left to duel." This is also the decency of a gentleman, and it can be regarded as the respect of the minibus for you. Boss, you represent our trillions of Han people, but you can't lose my share of the Ming Dynasty!. I didn't say it, General Ben absolutely supports it, it's wise for you to choose to use a musket, that's good, the handcuffs I made are of good quality, or you can use them first. ”
"General, when are you still teasing the little old man, pity me for the past few years for the general, you saddle the horse and take care of it. In your words, there is hard labor without merit, and even if there is no hard work, there is fatigue. Thinking of the fear of death, boss Guan's tears fell big drops, and he choked up: "General, the little old man is not a gentry, and he doesn't want any decency, you can leave the matter of winning glory for the Ming Dynasty to others." ”
"Okay, okay, I was kidding you just now."
"Is there a general who is so joking, I persuade the minibus?"
Sun Yuan comforted him a few words, then beckoned outside, and instructed Yu Xiang: "You go and call the minibus for me." ”
Then he said to Guan Tao: "Boss Guan, you are my right-hand man, the big butler of our Ningxiang Army, how can General Ben be willing to let you duel with others." Don't worry, I'll just let the minibus take back his white handkerchief. ”
"What if he refuses?"
"If he refuses, he doesn't want money
。 Sun Yuan said with a smile: "Westerners like money the most, and they value profit the most." As long as there are enough benefits, they are willing to sell their father and mother. By the way, the seizures can be summed up. ”
"It's been calculated, here's the book." Boss Guan's hanging heart finally fell, handed over the booklet, and asked: "General, should Liu Ge also have some expressions." After all, this is a big man, and if he marries Liu Xiang, it will be very beneficial to the general's future. Moreover, Xiao Lao'er can see that Liu Xiang is okay, all the small officials, secretaries, and servants under him are all hungry wolves. The eyeballs are black, and the silver white. When I saw these more than ten boats of money, my eyes were green. ”
Sun Yuan nodded: "That's right, how much do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Boss Guan: "General, Xiao Lao'er has already asked Liu Xiang's subordinates in private, and he also knows the rules of the imperial court." Generally speaking, the annual filial piety of the officials at the level of governor to the cabinet elder is 3,000 taels of ice and charcoal. In other words, we have to give Liu Ge at least six thousand taels. Coupled with the hard work of going to the battlefield, 10,000 taels can't be beaten. ”
"So much?" Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air.
"This is just Liu Ge Lao, and his subordinates should also divide six or seven thousand taels."
Sun Yuan: "Hey, it's really a little distressing!" ”
"Who said it wasn't, general, should Xiao Lao'er go and discuss with Liu Xiang's family again to see if there can be less."
"Don't be so stingy, but it's less than 20,000 taels of silver. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you give a few times more. ”
"How is this possible!" Boss Guan jumped up and couldn't help shaking his head: "General, you can't be such a loser!" ”
Sun Yuan smiled: "I naturally refuse to give the silver, so you will choose some of the antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings seized from Jiannu's hand, and put them in two boxes and send them to Liu Gelao." ”
"That's a good idea." Boss Guan is a businessman, and he immediately understood what Sun Yuan meant: "The prices of these bone directors are relatively chaotic, and no one can say how much they are worth." Besides, it's useless for us to use it. Moreover, even if you want to sell it for money, you have to pick a buyer, and you don't know how long it will take to get rid of it. Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, it is really not as good as cash silver, it is better to give it to Liu Ge Lao. He was an old man of letters, and he liked these things the most. ”
"Those who know me, take care of the boss." Sun Yuan smiled: "You don't have to send them all over, leave a box for Yu Ren." ”
"Yes, yes, little old man, wait a minute, carefully pick a box of good things and leave them for Mrs. Shao
。 However, does Miss Zhu's general also prepare a box? ”
"No, when this battle is over, I have a better gift."
"Dare to ask?"
Sun Yuan laughed: "I'm also old, it's time to start a family, I will give Ting'er a decent wedding." ”
As he was talking, Yu Xiang came back, and replied to Sun Yuan and said General, you don't have to bother looking for a minibus, this foreign devil has been beaten by Old Man Guan so much that he can't even recognize his mother.
Guan Tao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good fight, this foreign devil just owes a lot!" ”
"Minibus, beaten by the old man Guan?" Sun Yuan was taken aback: "What happened?" ”
"To rob a woman." Yu Xiang said.
"Robbing a woman, what's the matter, where did the woman come from?" Sun Yuan asked curiously.
Yu Xiang: "I forgot to tell the general before, when Jiannu went south to plunder, in addition to robbing property, he also arrested many young and beautiful women from good families. Today, they are all imprisoned in Botou Town, and the number is about 300. ”
"The devil of the minibus is lustful, and General Ben naturally knows that the old man Guan is also an old scholar who has read books, how can he also be jealous of women fighting with the minibus, bastard things, my Ningxiang Army is a serious Ming official army, not a grass coward." Sun Yuan realized the seriousness of the problem, and Huo stood up: "Yu Xiang, bring someone over and tie up these two bastards for me." ”
Yu Xiang had a bitter face: "General, I'm afraid that this errand will make me not do well." ”
Sun Yuan was puzzled.
Yu Xiang: "Now, Old Man Guan has been beaten by a donkey so that even his mother can't recognize him." At this moment, both of them have been carried to the erhu. Listening to Erhu, there are no two days without land. ”
The minibus was beaten by Guan Xuan, and then Guan Xuan was beaten by a donkey, and it was a woman...... It's a little messy, it's a little messy.
Sun Yuan rubbed his temples: "I know the donkey, I only know how to boil my muscles and bones all day long, but I don't care about women, how can I beat my colleagues for a woman?" Xiaoyu, then you go and tie the donkey to me. ”
