Chapter 289: Clean up the palace and confiscate gold and silver for military salaries
Xie Nantian found an opportunity to tell me yesterday that he had sealed all the family properties of the three mansions of King Qinshan, King Gong, and King Xian, and asked me to check it at any time. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I suddenly remembered that the Goodwill King had paid three thousand taels of gold last night and asked the immovable god to kill me. The family of the Goodwill King is a large fortune.
Xie Nantian came to me today, and I judged that it was for this reason.
"I see, laugh, you go!" the old man may have stood for a long time, and moved his waist.
I said goodbye to the old man and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Xinmo, go and call your father, I have something to talk to him!" the old man's voice sounded behind me.
"Okay, grandpa!" replied Tao Xinmo cheerfully.
The old man asked Tao Xin to ask her father silently, it must have been to discuss the matter of letting the family go to the west.
I found Xie Nantian outside the gate of the mansion, and walked with Xie Nantian along the street to the Qinshan Palace.
Along the way, the common people were overjoyed. Everywhere there were lights, and everywhere there was the sound of cannons.
"What is the festival today?" I asked Xie Nantian as I looked at the lively scene on the street.
"No, it's the people themselves who are celebrating!" Xie Nantian looked at both sides happily.
"Are you celebrating?" I was a little puzzled, looking at the people along the road.
"The common people are celebrating the eradication of King Goodwill and his remnants!" Xie Nantian smiled.
I see, I suddenly thought to myself.
Along the way, the people ran to each other and congratulated each other. Seeing me and Xie Nantian, the people looked at me in awe and talked behind my back. I didn't have a mask on my face, and the people probably recognized me.
"You can be regarded as a great duke!" Xie Nantian said as he walked, "The people praise you everywhere!"
"The common people are like this, in fact, the fall of the Goodwill King has nothing to do with himself, when he hears that this great wicked person has fallen, he is just a fool!" I smiled and looked at the common people.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Xie Nantian opened his eyes. "This kind king oppresses the people and does all kinds of evil, of course it has something to do with the people!"
I understand, this goodwill king does not even let ordinary people go.
"There wasn't anything unusual about those troops last night, right?" I asked Xie Nantian.
"No, the Goodwill Mansion is very large, I have temporarily reorganized all the troops and stationed them in the Goodwill Palace!" Xie Nantian replied.
"Together, how many people do we have now?" I asked with concern.
"Yesterday, there were more than 60,000 soldiers of Tong Qinghai at the West Gate, more than 70,000 troops at the North Gate, plus more than 90,000 troops from my original place. Now it's almost 230,000 soldiers!"
"How's the reorganization of these people?" I asked.
"Time is too rushed, it will take a while for them to adapt to the new army!" Xie Nantian replied honestly.
"We didn't have time, we had to get them used to it while we were on the road. The more we delay, the more Feng Liang and the soldiers and civilians of Duzhou will risk their lives!"
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult for these 230,000 horses to save Feng Liang!" Xie Nantian thought.
"How's the Loose King's troops?" I asked him.
"Feng Liang has been holding back the King of Freedom for so long, and the King of Freedom has been unable to attack for a long time, and he is angry. This time, the number of soldiers it brought with it reached 300,000!" Xie Nantian replied to me without thinking.
"I heard Bian Yunkai say that Qin Xiaotian's elephant cavalry has arrived in the northeast, is it true?" I asked Xie Nantian.
"According to my analysis. Qin Xiaotian let King Xiaoyao take the lead, and he completely mastered the Northeast!" Xie Nantian said.
Xie Nantian's cleverness, I have already seen it, as long as he says so. I am completely convinced.
Xie Nantian and I chatted while walking, and unconsciously arrived at the Qinshan Palace, which was guarded by soldiers from the door to the inside.
"It's all our people!" Xie Nantian introduced to me.
I followed Xie Nantian all the way in.
Goodwill Palace, it's really big. It is more than a military camp, and this place can be used for military training.
"Everything has been collected together, it's in the backyard!" Xie Nantian led me all the way to the backyard.
The backyard is wide. Large chests filled with dense mahogany, covered with tarpaulins, were guarded on all sides.
"It's all here!" Xie Nantian pointed to the boxes at me, "I asked people to move the things of the two mansions of King Gong and King Xian to take care of them in a centralized manner." ”
I looked in amazement at the boxes all over the yard, all locked and sealed.
"This is the list of the family property of the Goodwill King, you can take a look!" Xie Nantian opened a box and took out a thick notebook.
I took the notebook that Xie Nantian handed me and glanced at it.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!
This goodwill royal palace found 100,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver, all of which were pure gold and pure silver.
There are countless copper coins, and there are many silver tickets.
"This is the list of the Gongwang Mansion!" Xie Nantian took out another notebook,
More than 70,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver were paid to the palace, and more than 50,000 taels of gold and 160,000 taels of silver were given to the palace.
In addition to money, antique jade, calligraphy, painting, brush and ink, divine weapons, armor and treasures, all kinds of things are listed in detail by Xie Nantian in the book.
"How about it, the harvest is not small, right?" Xie Nantian asked me on the side, "With these gold and silver, you want to fight the world, and you don't have to worry about the salary of the army at all." ”
"Good guy, you think really long-term, you confiscate and seal these things in advance, and don't give others a chance at all!" I looked at Xie Nantian in admiration, and Xie Nantian once again let me see his cleverness.
"Fengwangfu is occupied by the guy from King Chuliu, these princes are all eliminated by you, you have the right to take these things, should we go over and copy the things of Fengwangfu!" Xie Nantian blinked.
"No, let the old guy take care of it himself!" I waved my hand.
The old guy has made a lot of contributions this time, and he should reap the rewards.
"There are too many of these things, we can't carry them out of the city in a flash!" Xie Nantian asked as he pondered.
"That's a question for me!" I took out my gourd. Xie Nantian looked at this gourd.
"Open the box and watch me do magic tricks for you!" I shook the gourd at Xie Nantian.
Xie Nantian waved his hand, and the soldiers opened all the boxes.
I aimed the gourd at the box, and Xie Nantian stared at the gourd, wanting to see what trick I could conjure.
The invisible power in my body surged, and the contents of the box flowed towards the gourd.
Xie Nantian's eyes widened.
"You...... Do you really know how to do magic?" Xie Nantian seemed to have seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"Don't worry, it's all here!" I replied with a smile, speeding up.
In the courtyard, there were now only ten chests left, and the contents of these ten chests were gold and silver.
"Can't fit it?" Xie Nantian stared at my gourd, full of curiosity.
"I can't pretend to be able to pretend to be a gourd with many things!" I smiled at Xie Nantian, "I decided not to pretend for the rest!"
"Not loaded?" Xie Nantian didn't understand, looking at the boxes.
"One box, send it to the families of your subordinates who died last night! Two boxes, send it to the army we collected last night!"
Xie Nantian nodded silently.
"The remaining eight boxes, you look at the distribution yourself, and give them to the soldiers who fought last night!" I pointed to Xie Nantian and pointed to the boxes.
"This..."Xie Nantian's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.
"If you do something, you will be rewarded! Follow me, you can't let everyone suffer all the time!" I said to Xie Nantian.
"It seems that I decided to follow you, I made the right bet this time!" Xie Nantian smiled.
"Your decision to follow me is my greatest blessing!" I replied to Xie Nantian, "I hope these soldiers can adapt quickly and are willing to follow us to fight the world with Qin Xiaotian!"
"Last night's battle, the soldiers were willing to be your soldiers, you don't have to worry about this problem!" Xie Nantian replied, "As long as they are given enough time to adapt, they will definitely adapt!"
"Would you like to be my soldier?" I asked Xie Nantian repeatedly.
"If you hadn't shown mercy last night, tens of thousands of people might have lost their lives, which means that you saved tens of thousands of lives last night! Not only did you not investigate their faults, but you would have given them gold and silver today!" Xie Nantian looked at me and replied, "If you cherish the lives of the soldiers so much, the soldiers are naturally willing to support you!"
"It's not easy to live, a life, we should all cherish it! We went north this time, I don't know how long it will take to get back here, you ask for the opinions of the soldiers, and if you are willing to send your family members to the west, you will make a list, let the berserk combination protect and send them to the west, so that the soldiers can worry about the future!" I said to Xie Nantian.
"You are thinking about the soldiers, why don't the soldiers fight with their hearts?" Xie Nantian replied happily, "I will arrange it right away, and I will send you the list tonight!"
"Bring Feng Liang and the families of his generals with us, if we can't save Feng Liang, let Feng Liang and the families of the generals take one last look at them!" I added.
"So you're sure you want to save that Feng Liang?" Xie Nantian asked me hesitantly.
"People must be saved, and there will be a way!" I patted Xie Nantian on the shoulder.
"Okay, when are we leaving?" Xie Nantian saw that I had made up his mind and didn't ask any more questions, "We have to leave early, lest the emperor be suspicious of us!"
Xie Nantian thought about it comprehensively.
"Tomorrow it will be bright, we will try not to alarm anyone, and sneak out of the north gate with these 230,000 soldiers!" I nodded to Xie Nantian,
I will use these 230,000 men to rescue me.
I walked out of the Goodwill Palace, sneaked to the barracks and found Liao Hua, leaving Liao Hua a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver. Liao Hua persisted for a long time and finally accepted it.
"Keep it a secret, it's just my heart for your hard work last night, be careful to cause you unnecessary trouble!" I told Liao Hua and sneaked out again. (To be continued......)
