Chapter 921: Bashen Tells the Khitan Treasure
The returnees from the north, who had swarmed under the leadership of Liu Xing and Mr. Hu Anguo, and who had turned their backs on King Kang, had now begun to corrupt the Great Song Dynasty, which had actually completed unification.
When Chen Guoting walked out, he made up his mind to clean up those who were unfavorable in his General Administration of Integrity, but Liu Xing realized such a real problem at the same time.
Let those returnees continue to lurk everywhere like a swarm of moths, wantonly eating away at the dynasty they have rebuilt, or will they make ruthless moves and punish those guys with thunderous means?
This is a big problem, looking at Chen Guoting's back, Liu Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thought......
"Taifu, when are you thinking? Can your subordinates share your worries? ”
While Liu Xing was looking out of the door in a daze, Su Quan walked into the room with two copies of the report. As soon as he saw Liu Xing's contemplative appearance, he opened his mouth to interrupt Liu Xing's thoughts.
Hearing his question, he turned his head to look at him, and Liu Xing said with some amazement: "I only cared about demolishing King Kang's platform that day, so that he had no one to use and quickly collapsed." But I didn't expect to look back now, and I was waiting to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot. Those returnees from the north, now his grandfather's has begun to turn into a big tumor growing on my body. ”
Halfway through his words, Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said: "You help me think about it, how can you put that group of thieves in a nest, at least let them not go around devouring the people's fat and people's ointment, and harm my Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Let your subordinates think about it more and then give you advice." After listening to Liu Xing's words, Su Quan couldn't help frowning first, and then raised the two recitals and presented them to him, and his tone became a little cheerful: "Put it aside in advance, I believe you should be a little happy after reading these two recitals." ”
After receiving two copies of the report from his hand, Liu Xing slowly opened it and looked at it, and then looked at him from worry to joy and said, "Three million taels of gold, nine million taels of silver." Did Zhang Xian go to war, or did his grandfather search the land for me? How could the Jurchens have so much real money? ”
"It was all from my dynasty, Zhang Xian caught and cut down all the nobles scattered by the Jurchens outside the capital, and when he went to raid the house one by one, he learned that most of the indemnities that the Jurchens had blackmailed our dynasty had been distributed to the nobles by the Golden Dog Emperor." Su Quan saw that Liu Xing was happy, but his face became a little angry.
He paused slightly to calm the anger in his heart, and then pointed to the newspaper in Liu Xing's hand and said: "These should only be one-third of the money that the Jurchens have stolen from my Great Song Dynasty, and Zhang Xian is still continuing to investigate. According to him, the Jurchens plundered all the way south, and it was estimated that when he searched and captured the Golden Dog Palace and the treasury, it would be ten times more than that. But most of this money was plundered from my Central Plains by those damn golden dogs, and it can only be regarded as returning to its original owner. ”
"It turns out that the money extorted by the Jurchens from my Great Song Dynasty is not all for the use of the country, so what about the money obtained by the Jurchens from destroying the Khitan world? Where did Zhang Xianke find out? Hearing what Su Quan said, Liu Xing said thoughtfully: "If all the gold and silver of the Khitan people are found, I think that my Great Song treasury will be full at once, and all industries will be prosperous." ”
Seeing Liu Xing say this, Su Quan suddenly smiled strangely: "Taifu! The golden dog destroyed Liao, but actually didn't get much money. Part of the Khitan people's money was used as military expenses in the battle against our Great Song Dynasty and Golden Dog, and it was almost not much consumed. The other part is also scattered into the hands of the Khitan royal nobles, if you really want to return the money to the treasury, I am afraid that Mr. Yelu will be in a hurry first. ”
"What's he anxious about? When he defected to our army, he was penniless, so poor that he called a jingle. Could it be that he and the master hid their hearts and eyes, and actually secretly hid the money and wealth shared by the Khitan royal family? Seeing Su Quan's appearance, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Shaking his head, Su Quan said: "It's not that Mr. Yelu is hiding anything from you, he really had nothing before he defected to our army." However, a large part of the Khitan people's years of plundering and extortion have actually been hidden and undivided, and it is said that they were hidden in the tombs of the Khitan royal family for generations. ”
Hiding in the cemetery, Liu Xing heard this, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: The Khitan people are also popular for gold and silver burials, and the treasure disappears into the world with the owner? Since it was hidden in the tomb of the underground palace, hehe, the archaeological army that Zhu Qiyan had compiled for the master in the past two years should be able to come in handy......
Thinking of this, Liu Xing said with a sly smile: "Where is the imperial tomb of the Khitan people, can anyone know?" ”
"Only close relatives of the royal family know."
Su Quan answered the question and immediately replied: "According to what I know, there are very few burial things in the public imperial tombs. The underground palace that really hides a lot of treasures is actually only known to the close relatives of the royal family and those who have held the actual power of the Khitan in previous dynasties. However, those treasures were the rules set by Abaoji back then, and they should be used to save all the people of the Yelu family in case of emergency. ”
As soon as the words stopped, Su Quan smiled again: "Therefore, if you want to fight those treasures, I'm afraid you have to ask Mr. Yelu first if he agrees." ”
"Su Dalang, you are too unrighteous!"
Su Quan said this, and suddenly a voice came from the back hall. Before the voice fell, a person had already walked into the main hall like a fly.
Before his feet stood firmly, the man glared at Su Quan and shouted, "You kid is so bad, so bad!" Straight mother, grandpa, I only told you this secret drunk the day before yesterday, and you will use it to say to the master today, do you want to give my old man a little shoes? ”
Who is this person who dares to scold Su Quan so blatantly? You must know that today, except for Liu Xing, no one seems to dare to treat Su Quan, who has not officially resigned from the Ministry of International Trade, like this! This man is too bold.
dared to speak to Su Quan like this, of course, the person who spoke also had full confidence. This person was none other than Yelu Bashen, who had been making a large number of new firearms for Liu Xingdu in the Hunter Valley.
Messing with official positions, he is not lower than Su Quan, and he is more respected and trusted by Liu Xingqi than anyone, and the two are also between them. In addition, Yelu Bashen is old enough to be Su Quan's father, so Su Quan has always called him "Uncle Yelu" in private.
It is precisely because of these confidences that Yelu Bashen learned the secret he told Su Quan the day before yesterday and was immediately taken out by him to invite Liu Xing to take credit, and at the same time stumbled on him. Immediately jumped out of the back hall in anger, pointing at Su Quan, who was "not righteous", was rude and scolded.
It's just that the scolding doesn't seem to understand the hatred, and Yelu Bashen scolded before he fell, waving his fist and smashing it straight towards Su Quan.
As soon as he saw him raise his fist and smash it, Su Quan, who was not comparable to him in cultivation, after all, had also been ordered by the gods, turned around and jumped straight behind Liu Xing. (To be continued.) )
