296 Gold and silver seas, rolling in! The amazing savings of the Goto clan

"Lord Qiqi, a total of three cellars have been found in the mountain city of the Wudao clan, with 13,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver, all of which have been registered. The rest of the gold, silver and jewelry are innumerable, and they are now being counted, and Wang Zhen Fu has temporarily told the adults one or two. ”

"Lord Qiyu, Xiong Qianhu has divided his troops to surround all the mansions of the Fusang nobles, some of the Fusang nobles have come out with their families to surrender, and some of them have resisted stubbornly! Is it killing or burning, Xiong Qianhu sent down the standard to ask the adult. ”

"Lord Qiyu, the 3,000th household has taken over the entire Hizen Port, captured more than 700 soldiers of the Wudao clan, and now the people in the city are panicked, and many Ming people take advantage of the chaos to rob and destroy the silver Fusang woman, these people have been taken by Dong Qianhu, Dong Qianhu has sent the bid, how should I deal with it?"

…… The 1,000th household mastered the mountain castle of the Goto clan, and the 3,000th household attacked Hizen Port, and occupied the entire city along the streets and alleys of Hizen Port, until it reached the suburbs.

In other words, the narrow coastal plain, which is about 20 li long from north to south and about 15 li wide from east to west, the largest port in Fuso, and the richest land on Kyushu Island, has become Lian Zining's private property.

"Someone has plundered the silver?" Lian Zining frowned, a burst of green air flashed on his face, he couldn't see such a thing the most, and at this time, the people of the Ming Kingdom who could settle in Fusang were not necessarily good people. If the two sides were still hostile at this time, he would naturally not blink an eye when he killed his Fusang people, but now they are all regarded as his people, and if he lets it go, he is afraid that the people's will be gone.

"Tell Dong Ce that anyone who has such a crime will be beheaded, don't show mercy! Let him tell the residents and businessmen that the Goto clan is gone, but the Hizen Port is still the Hizen Port, everything is business as usual, and there will be no preferential treatment because he is a Ming countryman, and he will not be discriminated against because he is a Fuso man, a Franco, and a Dutchman. As long as you come here to do business, it is my people under Lian Zining! Lian Zining said coldly: "In troubled times, use heavy codes to let him maintain law and order, but if there is a crime, he will be killed!" ”

"Yes! My lord! Dong Ce's pro-soldiers kowtowed and saluted, and retreated.

"Go and tell Xiong Tingbi that you will not die if you surrender, and resist the Zhu clan! Go ahead! ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Those prisoners, take them down first, this official is of great use!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Go and call Wang Dachun, let him bring the account book, the official will ask carefully!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lian Zining handled these affairs in an orderly manner, and orders were also issued.

Seeing that he had finished handling the affairs, Amber finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, and smiled softly: "Master, the slave and maid went down first." ”

Lian Zining put his arm around her waist and asked affectionately, "Amber, you said Hizen Port, do I want to leave it to the Tachibana family?" ”

Amber just smiled lightly: "These words, the master wants to ask those adults, but the slave doesn't understand and can't speak." ”

Lian Zining laughed, what he liked the most was that Amber knew how to measure things, knew how to advance and retreat, and would never dare to meddle in things that did not belong to her control. He patted Amber's hand lightly, "Go ahead, clean up the castle tower in the back, I'm going to stay there tonight." ”

Amber answered, and stepped back.

Lian Zining let out a long sigh, and the sadness on his face flashed, although this time it was a heavy loss, but it was also a lot of gains, if it wasn't for the change of seizing the door to capture the mountain city of the Wudao clan in one fell swoop, with such a steep terrain of this mountain city, I am afraid that three thousand Wuyi troops will be killed and wounded, and it will be good! And now, the port of Hizen is already in its own hands, and in Fuso, it has a firm foundation, and the rest is to wait and see. The dead are gone, and the important thing is the harvest this time.

As the commander of a large army, you must learn to suppress the hatred and sadness in your heart.

Before he came, he really wanted to hand over this Hizen Port to the Tachibana family according to the agreement, but after he came, he regretted it, this Hizen Port is an excellent natural harbor, and it is the external throat of the entire Fuso, with the development potential of Ningbo, Quanzhou, and Tianjinwei. Occupy this place, the wealth is rolling, and the mountains and seas depend on each other, the west is the sea, and the southeast and north are firmly surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a battlefield.

There are good harbors, plains, and castles, and this place can be built into a big city with a comprehensive surname!

To put it bluntly, this is a chicken that lays eggs, and it lays golden eggs.

is such a good place, if you want to give it to others, Lian Zining is naturally unwilling. And with this good port, he can exert influence on the entire Kyushu and even Fuso, and if nothing else is good, the tax here will be increased by one percent, and the price of goods in other Fuso territories will be one percent higher! With a thought in his heart, he decided to monopolize this port, as for the breach of contract or something, Lian Zining really didn't care about it, and now that he has the upper hand, what can the Tachibana family say? What dare you say? It's just a big deal to compensate the Tachibana family in other ways.

Just thinking about it, Wang Dachun came in.

"I've seen an adult!" Wang Dachun knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" Lian Zining waved his hand: "How is the money statistics of the Wudao clan?" ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Dachun's face was full of light, and he smiled: "I was about to say that I knew with adults, this time we can be regarded as developed!" ”

He took out a thick account book from his bosom and read it aloud: "The cellar has 13,000 taels of gold, the cellar has 150,000 taels of silver, and the Ming Dynasty silver ingots are 1,000 taels, all weighing 50 taels." ”

"There are forty-eight thousand silver dollars from the Franco, all weighing seven cents. 150,000 copper coins of the Ming Dynasty in the treasury. ”

"One tael of gold is fifteen taels of silver, and the above is about 400,000 taels of silver."

"The granary has 13,000 stones of fine polished rice."

"There is also a mountain castle of the Five Islands, with 36 pavilions, a main house with 13 halls and a total of 730 rooms, an east house with 7 halls with a total of 360 rooms, and a west house with 7 halls with a total of 350 rooms. Imitation of the Ming Jiangnan Hui style house, a total of 620 rooms, a garden, 64 pavilions. There are businesses in Hizen Port, fields are not counted, and slaves are not counted, and the value is immeasurable. ”

"Jewelry library, there are two longan big and good pearls, a longan big rare gold bead, fifteen strings of pearls, a large ruby weighs 37 catties, and eight small ruby weighs not weighed. A large sapphire weighs seventeen pounds, and four small sapphires do not weigh a pound. ”

"Silverware warehouse, eighteen silver bowls, ten pairs of gold inlaid spoons, twenty pairs of silver inlaid spoons, six gold teaspoons, eighteen silver teaspoons, eight silver mouthwashes, one gold blue mouthwash, four silver blue mouthwashes."

"Antiques, two bronze bottles, one bronze tripod, three bronze seas, twelve ancient swords, ten ancient knives, five Song inkstones, and seventy-six end inkstones."

"The above price is 1,800,000 taels!"

"There are also thirteen branches of great red coral, three feet six inches high, and six branches, three feet four inches high, and five large blue corals, three feet high. None of the prices have been applied. ”

"The silk storehouse, the silk and satin leno, fourteen thousand three hundred."

"Fur store, twelve white fox skins, fifty yuan fox skins, five white mink skins, seventy sable skins, a total of three hundred and seventy skins of various thicknesses."

"None of the above!"

(It's really tiring to get these data, and you have to have enough, and you can't exceed his strength level, and now I still have such a rigorous wooden body?) Give me a commuter pass or something...... Wang Dachun's face was full of joy, and he was able to close the account book, and said with high spirits: "So that adults can know that these are only half of the statistics, and there are many trivial things that have not been entered in the book, and they are being counted and recorded at this time." ”

Lian Zining's heart shook when he listened, what is a windfall? It's called a windfall! And it's a huge windfall that can almost crush people to death!

It's just the amount of cash and silver cash, which is enough to offset all the principal of the Lian chaebol this time, not to mention all kinds of jewelry, jade and silverware, these things, said to be that kind of valuation, but there is no market, if it is transported to Daming and put in the auction house operated by Lian Ji for auction, it is estimated that the price will rise a lot.

Moreover, these things are only half of the savings of the entire Wudao Clan's mountain city, and if they are not counted, I don't know how much!

The savings of the mountain city of the Wudao clan were so rich that Lian Zining couldn't help but be surprised, but it was equivalent to half of the Ming Dynasty's territory, and it was able to accumulate so many silver coins and jewels.

But when I think about it, I am also relieved.

The Goto clan occupied the land of Hizen and other four countries for decades, and the port of Hizen, as the largest treaty port in the whole of Fuso, was simply a sea of gold and silver, bringing a great deal of wealth every day. At this time, Fusang was divided and divided, and all the daimyo were small countries and widows, similar to the city-states of ancient Greece, the daimyo was the official government, and the official government was the daimyō, which was completely different from the set of the Ming Dynasty. All taxes go into the private treasury of the daimyo, and all the expenses are applied from it. To put it simply, the daimyo is just a king-sized landlord, and everything in this land is not state, but his private.

During the Warring States period, Fuso was taxed very heavily, and the peasants of Fuso were more appropriate to be serfs than peasants, who had to pay high taxes for the lord without compensation, served as soldiers without compensation, and were even requisitioned their wives and daughters without compensation. Fusang's taxes are extremely heavy, and the basic level is five dukes and five people, that is, half of them are handed over to the lord and half of their own, but in fact, because of the layers of looting, it is good to be able to get three achievements, and the tax on Kyushu Island is even heavier, there are eight dukes and two people, and even three years are all served to the public, and they have to farm for the lord for three years, and they have to bring their own rations to support their families.

I really don't know how these peasants survived, and they all say that Chinese peasants are the most forbearing, but in fact, it is not appropriate, and those officials in the Yulin Mansion of Si Yulin, the political envoy of Shaanxi, still left Li Zicheng some rations to feed himself. With this level of exploitation in Fusang, some people in China have already exposed it.

With such harsh exploitation, so many years of savings, and such a treasure of feng shui, it is not surprising that this wealth has been accumulated on the territory of half a prefecture. But now, it's all cheaper Lian Zining.

This is called wealth and danger!

If it weren't for the sudden change in seizing the door, the entire Goto clan would have been caught off guard, and they didn't carry it out at all, how could there be such a big gain? If it is a long-term siege, Lian Zining dares to pack tickets, these local snakes of the Wudao clan must have a way to transport these treasures out, and if they can't be transported, they are afraid that they will also be burned - at least Lian Zining puts himself in his shoes and thinks about it, he will definitely do this - only leaving Lian Zining with a piece of ruins!

With such a large amount of capital injection, Wu Yijun's originally somewhat stretched funds immediately became sufficient, and he could not use the funds of the Lian chaebol for a long time, and he could even feed back. With more abundant funds, the operation of the Lien chaebol will be smoother and smoother, the business will become bigger and bigger, and the more money will be made every month, forming a cycle of good surnames.

Lian Zining's heart was happy, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wudao Clan, you are really my benefactor of Wu Yijun!" ”

"All the cash is collected and transported to the ship, 400,000 taels of cash and cash, half of which will be handed over to Cheng Yu, and the rest will be managed by your logistics department. After the jewelry and jade are counted, they will also be handed over to Cheng Yu and shipped to the capital to find a suitable buyer and sell them at a good price. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Wang Dachun hurriedly responded.

"By the way, how are the wounded being accommodated?" Lian Zining asked with a smile, after dealing with the most important matter at hand, Lian Zining hurriedly asked what he was most concerned about.

"If you go back to your lordship, there are fifty dragoons, twenty-seven of them were killed in battle, three were seriously wounded, and the rest were all wounded." Wang Dachun lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and said softly: "The brothers who died in the battle have all been collected, the corpses have been cleaned up, changed into satin clothes, and they are all covered with ice and snow, and the corpses will not rot for the time being." The standard has already issued an order to ask Boss Yu, who opened a coffin shop in Feiqian Port, to order 28 pairs of fine Nanmu coffins, and then bury the brothers and transport them back to Daming for burial. ”

"Well, you've done it right." Lian Zining nodded, and suddenly his heart trembled: "Twenty-eight coffins? Could it be said? ”

"Yes! Three seriously wounded, our medical soldiers first wrapped the wounds, stopped the bleeding, and then sent them to the medical center at the bottom of the mountain for treatment, Shi Zhenfu and another brother who was disemboweled, were rescued, but the other brother, injured in the internal organs, is already ......"

He let out a long sigh.

A look of misery flashed on Lian Zining's face, he brought fifty dragoons this time, and in this battle, more than half of the battle was lost.

The cost is also severe.

While he was talking, the guards outside the door reported that Kang Lu and others had come over.

Lian Zining hurriedly got up to greet him, and just when he stood up, the wound on his body was a heart-piercing pain.

Kang Lu and a cadre of officers strode in, saw Lian Zining limping off the royal platform, hurriedly stepped forward, supported Lian Zining, and said with a face full of shame: "Lord Lian, what is going on today ......."

"Hehe, Brother Kang doesn't need to say more." Lian Zining smiled and waved his hand, stopping what he wanted to say below: "I know Brother Kang's difficulties, naturally I don't think about him in my heart, Brother Kang Wu doesn't need to blame himself, if we get along in another position, it will be the same in the future." ”

Only then did Kanglu put his mind at ease.

Kang Lu and the others strictly adhered to neutrality, although they promised to help Lian Zining in times of danger, but they were unwilling to intervene in the battle between these Fusang daimyos, so Shicai sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. They have horses on the ship, and a thousand soldiers are elite cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if they are willing to help, Lian Zining and his party will definitely not suffer such heavy casualties. Kang Lu came all the way just now, and when he saw such a tragic situation, he was worried that Lian Zining would hold a grudge, so he hurried over to explain clearly.

Lian Zining doesn't have any grudges against them, he has never been a person who pins his hopes on others, why should people help you? However, since Kang Lu and the others are like this, then all kinds of benefits in the future will naturally not be their share.

Both of them are clear about this.

Lian Zining said with a smile: "Brother Kang, if there is Yaxing, you might as well take a tour of this mountain city, Fusang is a teacher of my Daming, and its scenery is also very considerable, and the scenery is good." I'm going to go to the port first to calm people's hearts. ”

Kang Lu said: "My lord is light, hehe, this official is also thinking about visiting." ”

Lian Zining nodded, apologized, and walked out with Wang Dachun, walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, summoned a guard, and said: "Go and tell Xiong Tingbi, find some smarter, and wait for me under the mountain city." ”

The guard hurried away.

Out of the main hall, there were a few people and soldiers carried a sedan chair over, Fusang's eunuchs and nobles were too lazy to go out, and they also liked to sit in a sedan chair, but their sedan chair was much smaller than that of China, roughly like a sliding pole, but more elaborate, with a lid on it. The sedan chair in front of Lian Zining, the mahogany pole, the sedan chair body is painted with gold and jade, painted with complex patterns, and even the top of the sedan chair is inlaid with a fist-sized gold bead, which looks extremely luxurious. A sliding door is ajar, and you can see a fox skin cushion inside, this sedan chair is not small for the Fusang people, but Lian Zining's words are estimated to be able to lie inside.

Lian Zining frowned: "What is this?" ”

Wang Dachun said with a smile: "Isn't it marked to see that the adult is injured, so I found a tool for transportation." ”

Lian Zining pointed at him with a smile: "Lao Wang, you!" ”

I was grateful for Wang Dachun's thoughtfulness, so I didn't say anything, just said: "Remove this thing, I don't need it, what is this little injury or illness?" ”

Lian Zining walked outside step by step surrounded by a hundred halberd soldiers, he was still a little faltering, and his body was crooked, but a heroic and powerful momentum was difficult to hide, making people feel at a glance that this person who walked crookedly was by no means ordinary!

The men, women, and children of the Goto clan who were escorted to the side of the square cried loudly and noisily, and when they saw Lian Zining and others coming, they couldn't help but stop crying.
