Hearing this, Yu was shocked in the housekeeper's heart, and hurriedly said: "If the master has any punishment, even if you deal with it, you must not transfer the villain away, the villain is used to serving the master, and he really doesn't want to leave the village." With that, two lines of tears flowed down their eyes.

"You, you. Du Ximeng naturally saw that the housekeeper was sincere, unwilling to leave Yubi Villa, unwilling to leave Liaodong, sighed and said: "Whatever you want, but you must keep an eye on this Xu Yang for me, I always feel that this person's intention is not so simple." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Xu Yang looked at the weather outside, seemed to be a little better, didn't say much, and walked out of Yubi Villa.

Your time is precious, okay?

When the gatekeeper saw Xu Yang leaving the village, he naturally didn't dare to stop him, and after he went out, he hurriedly reported to Du Ximeng.

Xu Yang sat down the mountain in a big bamboo basket at the entrance of the villa, and naturally someone was waiting on the side, turning the turntable, and slowly lowering him down the mountain with the help of the rope.

Compared with going up the mountain, the descent is much slower, and when it takes two sticks of incense, the bamboo basket reaches the bottom.

Xu Yang had calculated last night, since the treasure was behind the Jade Pen Peak, it would definitely not be placed in such a conspicuous place, and this should be regarded as in front of the Jade Pen Peak.

In other words, you have to turn the entire mountain peak before you can look for it again according to the pattern on the saber of King Chuang.

Fortunately, although this mountain peak is high, but because it is straight up, the width of the top and bottom is actually not much, and after going around for a while, Xu Yang has already turned to the back of the mountain peak.

It's just that no one has ever walked like this, so there is no road, and it is all up to Xu Yang's light work, and he found a road that is not a road in the chaos.

After arriving at the peak, Xu Yang took out the Chuang Wang Saber from the space, and looked at the curved patterns on it, and sure enough, the figure of the double dragon winning the pearl was in line with the terrain of this place.

Shuanglong, naturally, is two rugged mountains on both sides, and its shape is twists and turns, like the body of a dragon.

And that dragon ball, of course, is the low round peak in front of the line of sight, this terrain is quite peculiar.

The treasure is there!

At this time, Xu Yang couldn't hold back his excitement, unfolded his body, and sprinted towards the treasure.

You know, this is the treasure of the king.

How much is it worth? Xu Yang didn't know.

All he knew was that there was a story in history about this treasure.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Chongzhen Emperor who hanged himself in the coal mountain, held a court meeting a few days before Li Zicheng's army was about to attack the imperial capital, and collected money from many courtiers to fight against the thieves.

To say that the emperor has done this is enough.

The tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty has always been small, and the annual treasury revenue is only a few million taels, which is completely incomparable with the tax revenue of today's prosperous Kangqian era.

But from top to bottom, there are no fewer corrupt people than any other dynasty.

The emperor has no money, the treasury has no money, and the courtiers' families have a lot of money.

Then the * of the story came, including the dignified Guozhang Zhou Kui, every official said that he was poor, he was a poor Qing official, and he couldn't eat, the emperor, you look at it.

What to do?

You can't just raid the houses one by one, right?

There is no way, Chongzhen, as the Ninety-Five, can only beg one by one.

Well, it's so aggrieved, after talking for a long time, the national abbot is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver, Chongzhen is not satisfied, let him donate 20,000 taels, Zhou Kui immediately turned around and went to the harem to cry.

Queen Zhou is also virtuous, seeing her father crying like this, it is estimated that the family really has no money, so she took out 5,000 taels of private money and asked Zhou Kui to donate it in his own name, which can be regarded as a good start for the courtiers.

This can be regarded as the most bizarre national ruler in ancient and modern China and abroad, and he is really righteous, and he embezzled a small half of the 5,000 taels, and finally donated 13,000 taels out......

Well, this fundraiser raised a total of military salaries...... 200,000 taels of ......

It seems that the entire court is full of Qing officials, and the country is very lucky.

Then 8 days later, Li Zicheng called.

Officers and soldiers who have no money to pay military salaries naturally have no combat effectiveness, they can't eat enough, and they don't have enough wool?

Once defeated, the imperial capital fell.

When the emperor hanged himself, the courtiers were naturally ...... Naturally, it's a surrender.

Anyway, if you change your master, you have to rely on their group of people to govern the country, right? This is the rule in all dynasties.

however

The most important turning point came.

Li Zicheng, before his rebellion, was a temporary worker at the post office.

He doesn't follow the rules.

Not only did he not pay attention to the rules, but he also started extremely dark.

Of course, Li Zicheng also wanted silver, but unlike Chongzhen, he didn't ask for people, he tied them up directly.

If you have money, you can take it out.

If you don't have money, you will hang it up and fight it.

Not enough money?

I don't care if you are a clean official, in the eyes of the lord, there is no clean official.

If you fight it, you will have money.

Officials were hung up and beaten, wealthy businessmen were hung and beaten, and people who looked quite rich were also hung and beaten.

Sure enough, a lot of silver was struck.

It's not just a lot, just the national abbot Zhou Kui, who even embezzled his daughter's private money, not counting the dozens of cars of rare treasures that were confiscated, just the silver alone made 530,000 taels.

It's like whack-a-mole, one smash and one target.

At this time, the ministers who were obsessed with money regretted it.

Why did you go earlier?

In the end, according to historical records, in less than a month, a total of more than 70 million taels of silver were played.

And that's not even counting the value of other exotic treasures.

If these misers were willing to take out 7 million taels of silver, or even 700,000 taels of silver, to reward the army, or the luck of the Ming Dynasty could last for a while, it was not perhaps.

Xu Yang looks at this history from the other side.

More than 70 million taels of silver, this is only the silver looted from the imperial capital, not counting gold, not counting jewelry, all counted, conservatively estimated at least hundreds of millions.

Li Zicheng's army swept through most of China with the momentum of angry waves, and even if there were not so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in other cities, the total number of looted would not be lower than 100 million taels.

All add up to at least 200 million taels of silver.

After Li Zicheng occupied the imperial capital, he quickly became corrupt and degenerated, and his military strength declined, and of course his defeat was very fast.

A month after the capture of the imperial capital, Yu Shanhaiguan was defeated by the combined forces of Houjin and Wu Sangui, and then returned to the imperial capital, proclaimed himself emperor on the same day, and ran away the next day.

Added up to the time before and after, the time to occupy the imperial capital was only forty-two days, that is to say, this gold and silver treasure of up to 200 million had no chance to spend it at all.

In addition to rewarding the three armies and distributing them to meritorious officials, at least ninety percent remained in Li Zicheng's hands.

Then Li Zicheng fled, and it was impossible to take this huge asset with him.

Of course, it is impossible to leave it for Houjin, and it is impossible to leave it for Houjin when thrown into the river.

Then the result is there, even if it is on this number, and then put a fold in half, there are more than 90 million gold and silver treasures that have been transported to the outside of the Guan, transported to the round peak behind the Yubi Peak and buried under it, ready to rise again in the future.

More than 90 million taels, which is equivalent to more than 3 yuan a gram when the silver price was the lowest in later generations, and a tael is 37.2 grams, and each tael is worth at least more than 100 yuan.

Xu Yang felt that his brain was a little insufficient, 100 yuan a tael, 10,000 taels is a million, 10 million taels is a billion, how much is more than 90 million taels?

Nearly 10 billion.

This is still calculated according to the lowest value, if you count the gold, pearls, agate, jade, opal, coral, crystal, etc., which are more valuable in later generations, I am afraid that it will not be much worse than 20 billion.

This...... There are more troubles about happiness.

What to do?

Headache.
