Chapter 795: Comeback
Everyone came to the gate of the palace guarded by heavy soldiers, since the tattoo army carefully sifted the palace inside, and then the fire was stopped in time, and no supplies were transported out, and at the same time all the gates were nailed, and each of the three legions transferred a group of elites to guard here.

The commander accompanied the lord of the kingdom, and the legionnaires worked together to tear apart the wooden bars on the door and open the windows, and in an instant the whole palace was alive again.
Li Yang, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, entered this palace full of foreign reliefs and murals, although he was not so surprised, but he still secretly sighed for the prosperity and power of the seed.
The layout of each house and house in the palace, each corridor aisle, and the inner garden can also be seen to be ingenious, which can be regarded as the highest architectural cultural achievement here in the East China Sea.
The pillars and corners of the hall are edged with gold wires, all the wood is painted with colored lacquer, and there are some ornaments with national characteristics all over the whole.
Walking through a few houses at random, the silver utensils inlaid with jewels were scattered everywhere and it was too late to take them away, and it can be seen that the owners here have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are also poor and luxurious, and gradually degenerate and corrupt.
After shopping for a while, Li Yang didn't have much interest, he really understood the truth that no matter how many rooms he had, he couldn't sleep in one bed, these gorgeous dwellings and exquisite utensils were not what he valued, if he turned these utensils into silver and copper coins, he would have some interest.
"Search well, search out all the valuable things in the palace, the old rule, leave one percent for the brothers as a reward, you don't want to distribute it unfairly." Li Yang said jokingly to Li Wen.
It's not that Li Yang loves money and mentions goods directly, but it's because the development of the Oriental Han Kingdom has arisen a huge problem: most of the world's goods are now concentrated in the Central Plains, resulting in many other countries now having no money to use.
What is the Silk Road, it is a blood vein of gold and silver flowing from the West to the Central Plains, the East China Sea is no exception, and Li Yang's Oriental Han Kingdom is no exception.
If the Oriental Han Kingdom was just a country with a small peasant economy and self-sufficiency, it would have been forgotten, but Li Yang's country was based on industry and commerce, and now it is gradually found that whether it is gold or silver, it is really not enough.
In the case of this kind of commodity trading, barter is absolutely not advisable, then only with gold or silver trading, with the development of commerce and trade, more and more gold and silver circulated in the territory of the Oriental Han Kingdom, the money is more and more insufficient, the liquidity is too strong.
Now there are really no decent financial talents in the Oriental Han country, and Li Yang has also thought about issuing a unified currency, but this may face the collapse of the country's credit if he is not careful, and he can't be hasty, so he still temporarily maintains the use of a full pound of gold and silver as the circulating currency, and having this opportunity to plunder a batch of gold and silver from Tanegashima is also a solution to the urgent need in the country at this time, at least the bank does not have to keep so much money in turnover.
It's really not an overnight thing to pick up the treasures in this palace, in addition to the treasury on the surface, there are also some secret vaults, basements, and secret grids of the residences of various kings and relatives, all of which are objects to be searched. And in addition to the people who search, it is also necessary to supervise the necessary personnel, which is not a simple project.
However, the results of the battle are gratifying, in a few bright warehouses, more than 10,000 taels of gold and more than 30,000 taels of silver were found, presumably some of them were also taken away by the fleeing royal family, but the monk could not run away from the temple, and sooner or later he would have to be chased back.
The silverware in the palace is also a great wealth, silver is the currency in circulation, the stock in the treasury is small, there is a large part of it has been cast into various kinds of utensils, not only small rice bowls and cups, Li Yang walked outside the palace The moment he saw a dozen soldiers with bamboo poles and hemp rope humming together carrying an all-silver gilt chair.
"The lord of the country, the enemy chieftain and the king of the east have run to the northeast, I don't know what to do next?" Li Wen asked after Li Yang.
"After the goods are counted and escorted to Miyako Island, the rest of the legions will continue to march east." Li Yang said, "My new lord, I will send you a limerick poem, it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to become a famous overlord!" ”
Just when the dust in the capital city had settled and Li Yang was about to return to Miyako Island, a countercurrent was set off on Tanegashima Island, a countercurrent that made Li Yang feel very ridiculous.
After coercing the "Son of Heaven" to order the princes, he probably felt that his biggest rival, the King of the West, had died in the fire of the burning city, and the local forces on this sub-island could no longer compete with him, and he wanted to fight to the death with the Dongyang Han army. So the king of the east, who had returned to his own territory and mobilized generally, made a comeback.
This time, he also made an old book, and the men in the direct tribe drew one out of two, and this alone gathered two thousand young and strong, and the subordinate tribes also doubled the usual way to send troops to the army.
In fact, the army of 2,000, known as 10,000, was mighty, not only emptied the arsenal he had accumulated over the years, but also allowed him to spend a lot of money to temporarily make up a batch of guns to make up the number.
For half a month, Li Yang was busy counting the seized materials, planning the distribution of the occupied plots, and doing his best to turn the victories of the battle into tangible benefits. On the seed side, an unprecedentedly large army was gathered during this time, led by the nominal seed king, but in fact led by the east king, and drove towards the capital.
In his heart, the successive defeats and retreats in the early stage and even the fall of the national capital all show the incompetence of the king of the west and the king, and the failure of his father's vision. And he will raise the last bit of hope of the Seed People, expel the invaders, restore the former glory of the Seed Kingdom, and become a great existence as the Seed Sage Gacha Mada.
When Li Wengang was ready to go on the expedition, he was also surprised to hear the report of the spies, he could not imagine that the enemy would have such courage to take the initiative to attack after the heavy defeat, and what surprised him even more was that the enemy had gathered such a huge army.
"Lord of the country, the enemy is menacing." Li Wen was actually more excited, and the general's exploits were all accumulated from the enemy's head.
"This time, the other party has invested enough money to settle the battle in one battle, and whichever side loses, it will withdraw from the historical stage of Tanegashima. What do you think? Shall we hold on to the city? Or retreat thirty miles? You are now the commander-in-chief. Li Yang asked Li Wen with a smile.
Wang Hu next to him was eager to try, but it was not easy to intervene on this occasion, he knew the measure.
"I listened to the scout's report, the enemy formation is loose, morale is low, and a cowhide is also considered an elite armor, this is God gave me Tanegashima, if I can't seize such an opportunity, I might as well wipe my neck." After Li Wen finished speaking, he turned over and bowed, "Please attack the whole army and defeat the enemy army head-on." ”
