"Your Majesty, a total of 5,726,451 taels of silver, 364,874 taels of gold, 315,200 stones of grain, jewelry, and weapons were found in Zhangjiakou this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "After killing the eight families led by Fan Yongdou, Li You immediately confiscated the shops involved in the case, which can be described as a bumper harvest, Wang Qia blushed with excitement when he read these figures, with this money and food, the life of the court can finally be better.

"Hehe, the lives of Liaodong have been ruined, Xuanda Jiliao has been repeatedly plundered, and millions of Ming people have been viciously killed by Jiannu, but they have fattened these eight moths, and I now regret killing them happily." Li You gritted his teeth and said, it can be said that almost every tael of silver is stained with the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and these eight families really don't care about anything for the silver, "I really should melt the silver and pour it into their mouths after searching for the silver, so that they can taste how good the taste of the silver is." ”

"Haha, but don't regret it, now it's just to take Zhangjiakou, Taigu, Qixian and other places still have their nests, the silver accumulated there is not under Zhangjiakou, and there is a chance to clean them up." Without waiting for Wang Qia to answer, Li You smiled again and said, "Send the order down, bring the money and food that you have found, and prepare to go to Sanjin to raid their nest, and be sure to take down these people's nest before the news reaches Sanjin." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a trivial matter, why do you use Your Majesty to go out personally, just a holy decree, let the local officials in Shanxi do it, Your Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time now, it is better to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Wang Qia subconsciously persuaded that it was not a good thing for His Majesty to leave the capital for a long time, and without His Majesty in charge, I don't know what kind of turmoil those guys in the court can make.

"Wang Shangshu, do you say that the local officials in Shanxi really don't know what these eight families did in the past?" Li You's fierce gaze swept over, Wang Qia suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, His Majesty has been really majestic recently, seeing Wang Qia bow his head, Li You continued to say slowly, "I know better than you what the virtues of these officials are, even if they can steal the property of these eight families, it is hard to say whether there are thirty percent of them handed over to me in the end, not to mention that not all Jin merchants have colluded with Jiannu, and I am also worried that they will take the opportunity to rob those innocent merchants. But the black cauldron was thrown to me to carry it, how could I let them get their wish? ”

"Your Majesty, these people are all people who have read poetry and books, how could they... How could it be ......" These naked words made Wang Qia sweat like rain, he subconsciously wanted to distinguish a few words, but unfortunately he couldn't open his mouth after speaking, yes, what kind of virtue are these officials, Your Majesty knows, how can he not know?

"Needless to say, rest for the night today and leave early tomorrow morning." Li You got up and left, leaving Wang Qia behind.

Early in the morning of the second day, 50,000 Song troops and the few remaining Jinyi guards and elite Jingying left Zhangjiakou and headed for Shanxi; Before leaving, Li You ordered people to build a bone tower from the bones of Fan Yongdou and other eight people, and erected it at the gate of Zhangjiakou to warn the many merchants in the city that this was the fate of Litong Foreign.

Seeing the army leaving, the merchants in Zhangjiakou were in different moods, they were first glad that they had behaved in the past, so they were able to escape, and then sighed at the military discipline of this army, if none of the merchants involved in the case could escape, and the property was also confiscated cleanly, but if the merchants who did business in a proper manner, but no soldier came to harass, this was almost unimaginable for them.

"Your Majesty is really a holy monarch!" After a long time, an old man sighed, and then a sound of praise from the Holy Monarch sounded in Zhangjiakou City.

Zhangjiakou is in the northwest of Hebei, and you can reach Datong to the west, and Datong's soldiers and horses have been in arrears for a long time, and Li You just has a lot of money and grain in his hands, so he simply went to Datong to send them money first, and if he waits for it to return to the capital, he doesn't know how much silver can fall into their hands.

When they came to Datong, Man Gui hurriedly went out of the city to greet them, and Li You immediately made up for the money and food that had been in arrears for a long time, and the soldiers of Datong all cheered, and now they finally didn't have to starve.

Encouraged Man Gui a few words, refused his retention, first-class non-stop southward along the line of Xinzhou, Taigu, Qi County continued to sweep the lair of the eight traitors, under the prestige of the soldiers, no official dared to speak out to stop, they wanted to stay out of the matter, but Li You refused to agree, after torturing the clansmen of the eight families, asked a lot of local officials for corruption and perversion of the law, so they decisively took them down, and also found a lot of money and food in their homes.

When they finally came to Jiexiu Fan Yongdou's treasure house, Li You, Zhang Zhiji, Wang Qia and others were stunned, only to see that in the treasure house made of huge stones and thick bricks, there were hundreds of catties of silver winter melons.

"In the past, I heard the name of ghosts and sorrows, but today I can see the truth." Wang Qia said with emotion, these are the means of the Jin merchants in order to guard against thieves, the silver is cast into a huge winter melon, each weighing hundreds of catties, even if those thieves are allowed to move, they can't move, they can only look at the silver and worry, so there is this name.

A single thief had nothing to do about it, but Li You had an army of tens of thousands, and they directly dismantled the walls of the treasure house and transported them all out; Coupled with the silver taels confiscated in Zhangjiakou before, this time the Jin merchant group led by the eight traitors was swept away, Li You got more than 10 million taels of silver, nearly 1 million taels of gold, and countless other goods such as grain, cattle and horses, and the miserable financial problems of the Ming Dynasty could finally be alleviated slightly.

At the beginning, all the Jin merchants were extremely panicked, but seeing that Li You was really as he said, only looking for trouble with those traitors who colluded with Jiannu, and did not commit any offense against the law-abiding businessmen Qiu, the merchants of the three Jin Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief and began to reopen their shops to do business.

"Your Majesty, since these eight families have all been brought to justice and have gotten so much money and food, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, right?" Wang Qia persuaded again, he said that he would solve these traitors, and now he should go back to the capital, right? You can't run around with tens of millions of taels of silver, right?

"No, it's not the time to go back to Beijing." Li You frowned and said, the problem of traitors has been solved for the time being, but there is still a problem that shakes the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has not been solved.
