Section 82 Robbing the rich and giving to the poor

With the perceptual effect of spiritual power, all the traps inside this mountain reservoir had no effect on Lao Luo, and it didn't take him an hour to quickly turn around all over the mountain reservoir.

The "hall" that Lao Luo arrived at first was only a part of the treasure of this cave, and there were four caves of similar size connected to it, but there was no glowing "gem" in the middle, but more of a variety of uniform-sized boxes, which were all gold and silver coins, and all kinds of strange things were placed on the shelves that were not boxed, which should be the so-called treasures of the original Elidia collection.

In addition, there are some books in a dry stone room that cannot be seen clearly, the books are very large, each of them is made of parchment and at least two feet square, in the eyes of Lao Luo, no matter what is recorded in it, this is the real treasure, more precious than all the gold and silver here.

The strangely shaped machinery that Lao Luo found outside was actually similar to the experimental equipment used in the chemical laboratories of later generations, I don't know where the rulers here collected it, maybe it was the work of the so-called alchemists, and the land of the West has never lacked the legend of alchemy, just like the alchemy of the East.

Time was pressing, and Lao Luo couldn't take a closer look, so he finally made a decision to take away all the things that could be stored, even if it was robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The early attack on the armament point has definitely touched Bagrat III, and there is nothing to scruple about in the future, robbing what is here, at most, it is to take away the spoils of the opponent's attack on Elidia, in Lao Luo's calculations, it should not affect the unification trend of Georgia.

As a result, in this chain of mountain caves, all things that are not connected with the mountain began to disappear, and now Lao Luo's collection of items is no longer limited to the limit of strength, but as long as the spiritual power can fully probe the wrapped items, they can be put away instantly, this kind of magic-like power fascinates Lao Luo at the same time, and the operation is also more skilled.

All items, ore specimens, gem roughs, books, weapons, armor, boxes of gold and silver coins, and even some crowns of unknown origin, as well as all the strange equipment were stored in Lao Luo's space.

In the end, it was the luminous "gem" that could not be said for purpose and name, under the effect of spiritual power, all the surrounding snakes and insects were scattered, entering the blue-green light core area, Lao Luo felt a strange restlessness, as if something was growing in the body, it was a kind of germination of the growth of all things, could it be that this is a gem that can promote the evolution of life and the growth of lifespan? It's no wonder that snakes and insects surround this place.

Put away this huge gem, the snake and insect did not attack Lao Luo, but dispersed violently, and did not attack him as expected, Lao Luo was not surprised, the basic wisdom of living beings is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, as long as it does not endanger the basic survival or invade the territory of the territory, there will be no attack.

Arriving at this era, Lao Luo had already encountered a lot of miraculous things, and he thought that this kind of luminous strange gem would bring about changes in space, but after waiting for a while, he also found that there was no change, but the blue-green gem illuminated all the corners of the space. At present, there are more than a dozen cubic kilometers of space, and a small half of it is occupied by this harvest. The blue-green shire occupies the most central position, like a blue-green star, reflecting all the items, but there is no visible change.

Exiting the condensation of the space, constricting the spirit, the empty space around it, except for snakes and insects, there are no items worth patronizing, and under the sound of footsteps, there are bursts of echoes in all directions.

Erasing all traces left on the ground, Lao Luo returned and exited the same way, collapsing the rubble at the entrance, even if Bagrat III's men noticed it, they would only think it was a strange event, and even future generations would find it difficult to understand the disappearance of hundreds of tons of items.

The east had begun to turn a little white, and the soldiers guarding the mountain vault were shaking their heads with heavy footsteps, even when they were patrolling, and no one noticed that their duties had disappeared without knowing it.

"Master, you're back." It was Alke who was keeping vigil, and he didn't notice Lao Luo until he got close to the tent.

"Well, rest as usual today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." There's no need to explain the night's actions, the more people know about many things, the more likely they are to leak secrets, even the most trusted subordinates.

The mountain storehouse was not inspected every day, so there were no major changes throughout the day, and the restlessness caused by the fire of the previous day had begun to subside, and the restlessness and panic that had been left only in the garrison and the ruling echelons of Bagrat III. There was also a lot of talk among the merchants, as the palace minister Brimara issued a new round of expropriation and procurement orders.

Civilians are the least affected, although there are only a handful of civilians here in Kutaisi, who are only responsible for paying taxes, farming or grazing, and raising children, like weeds in the mountains.

There was no difference between the reign of Elidia and that of Bagrat III, and he was as obedient and obedient as the people of the East.

It's not that Lao Luo doesn't have sympathy, it's that the people here are not his subordinates, nor are they his clansmen, and this world is not the era when universal values were rampant in later generations. It is certain that if Bagrat III had given the order to attack the Tang camp, they would have immediately become pawns to launch the attack.

This city that has not yet escaped the war is not much better, it is not as rich in human resources as Constantinople, nor has a long history and legends like Athens, and even the Bagrat Cathedral, which was praised by later generations, is still in the stage of laying the foundation, and the only food worthy of the locals to boast of is actually far less abundant than that of later generations, but only Western-style varieties such as barbecue.

When night came again, Lao Luo went around the strongholds of several big merchants, in fact, he no longer cared about the tons of wheat flour and meat, nor the pig iron and timber according to the treasury, his purpose was only to balance the balance of power between Bagat III and the local merchants, who had already lost too much of their financial resources, and if the merchants were not damaged, the weak branches would only cause the country to fall apart again - it would be difficult to fight against the wolf-like Turks from the west.

At that time, the Turks will have no opponents in this land, and the subsequent development will definitely not meet Lao Luo's wishes.

Of course, this is calculated according to the normal historical trend, Lao Luo does not dare to guarantee the future development, but tries to avoid his own changes in the times, he does not believe in the so-called inertia of historical development, the historical process of this era is far simpler than later generations, the lack of a key person, the invention of a key technology, may affect the changes of the entire era.

It's not that he's worried about the changes that will affect the situation, but that the beginning of change shouldn't come in these places that are not under his control. He prefers to unfold an era in his hometown that is controlled by himself and his own people, maybe that is the purpose of his Lao Luo coming to this era in this world, maybe he can fulfill the commission of the so-called "employer", maybe he still returns to his own era and sees his elderly parents.

As the sun rose again, a day of chaos began in the camp of merchants around Kutaisi, and Roh left the city with Alk and Kuksi to tidy up their tents and pretend to be frightened merchants.

Except for a few merchants who had spoken to them, no one paid attention to them, including the sentinels of the Duchy of Tau-Klarzhety. They can't be blamed for not doing their duty enough, but the small team that walks on the trade road every day never stops, and the small team of three people and six horses is really inconspicuous.

In the palace on the hill of Ukmerioni, Bagrat III and his confidant De Quill are deliberating.

"Can you confirm the number of losses of the merchants?" Sitting in a high-backed chair symbolizing authority, Bagrat III whispered to De Quill, who was respectful on his right.

"Your Majesty, the exact loss has not yet been concluded, and according to the information available for entering the city, the merchants probably lost at least ten million Tallents of grain, millions of Tallents of meat, and pig iron, timber and fur for which the number is difficult to determinate...... "All the descriptions are Roman, because the Georgians themselves are a tribe deeply influenced by Roman culture. De Queer did not dare to overstate the numbers or speak for the merchants, his power was completely dependent on the Bagrat family, and if he lost trust, he would be more unlucky than the Elitans who had lost power.

"Hmm...... It seems that the damage to the merchants' warehouses and the previous loss of armaments were entirely done by a group of people, so let's continue the previous inquiry. Bagrate III was noncommittal, in fact, he had a little joy in his heart, or this is also human nature, if he is unlucky, he should also be unlucky, it is God's fairness, otherwise in the face of Kakhedia and the Abkhazians, the merchants will not necessarily follow him.

He didn't know about his latest loss because he didn't check the newly taken over Elidiamiku, otherwise it's hard to imagine how angry he would be.

Of course, if Bagrat III had the opportunity to personally investigate the vault, he would probably not be angry, but would have been terrified, and in just one night, all the treasures in the vault were gone without a trace, which is not something that can be done by man. The power of religion is the supreme ruling force of this era, and although the figure of the god has not appeared for a long time, the legend of the god has never stopped, so it is not uncommon for Bagrat III to stop pursuing the lost treasure and worship the cave as a miracle.

Of course, all this will have nothing to do with Lao Luo in the short term, he has never been in contact with the ruler here, and he does not want to get involved.
