"This, this, this!" Liu Mang and Lu Bu were really dazzled by the things in front of them. Liu Mang hadn't seen much of the world, but the other Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, had seen the world, Luoyang, Chang'an, He has been to all these imperial capitals, and he has also seen the treasury and Dong Zhuo looting gold and silver when he burned Luoyang. It is not that Lu Bu has never seen the carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and the rows of all kinds of treasures and antiques. Dong Zhuo He even asked him to send soldiers and horses to protect the carriages, but Lu Bu was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He didn't expect that there was such a dark hall under the Shouchun Palace, and the gold, silver and jewels in the palace underneath were piled up like a mountain.
"How, how could there be such gold and silver!" All the people who were brought were stunned by the scene in front of them.
"I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of gold here!" Lu Bu came back to his senses, he had seen more wealth, so he quickly came to his senses!
"It's a full two hundred and twenty thousand gold!" Yang Hong very calmly broke out the figure that the first brother made everyone present gasp. Wan Jin is the foundation of those aristocratic families for hundreds of years. Ten thousand gold, that can be regarded as rich and invincible, even the princely family did not have such an act. You must know that when Emperor Han Ling was still alive, a Taiwei was only ten thousand gold, but there are twenty-two gold here. A captain.
"Uncle Hong! Why is this happening here!" Liu Wei frowned and asked, who doesn't like money, but Liu Wei seems to know the source of the money.
"Patriarch, all this money is left by the former master!" The former master Yang Hong spoke of was another cheap father-in-law of Liu Mang, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu. This was a master who had been an emperor. He is also called a lonely person.
Half of Yuan Shu's money and food came from looting the whole of Yangzhou and Yuzhou. The express delivery in the two states was scraped three feet by him. The other half was given by the Yuan family in Yuzhou. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family are an ancient gentry family that has gone through hundreds of years. The heritage is very profound. The Yuan family has only two heirs. The first is Yuan Shao, and the other is Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu. Yuan Shao is in Bohai, Later, it developed towards Jizhou and Hebei. He didn’t return to the Yuan family’s old place, Yuzhou Central Plains, but Yuan Shu returned to Yuzhou and used Yuzhou as the base to invade Yangzhou and occupy the Yangtze River Basin in an attempt to plot the Central Plains. Therefore, the Yuan family’s background is supporting Yuan Shu, and there is another Yuan Shu who is the Yuan family. My son, although Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's elder brother, but he was born of a maidservant, and it was Yuan Shu's father who appeared after drinking and having sex. The identity and location are wrong, and the Yuan family can't go north to Hebei to support Yuan Shao! Then I can only support Yuan Shu. The Yuan family, which is full of disciples and old officials, is also the key to Yuan Shu's taking down Yangzhou and Yuzhou so quickly.
You must know that before Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he was the real overlord of the Central Plains. The territory extends from Nanyang County in Jingzhou in the west to the current generation of Guangling in Xuzhou in the east. Yangzhou and Yuzhou in the north are attacking Lao Cao's Yanzhou. Liu Biao in Jingzhou also lived under Yuan Shu's breath, and he could be regarded as the overlord of the Central Plains.
At that time, there were two powerful military alliances in the Great Han Dynasty. One was Yuan Shao in the north. He was united with Cao Cao and Liu Biao. In the south, he was Yuan Shu. In the end, he proclaimed himself emperor, completely lost the hearts of the people, and released Sun Ce, a fierce tiger, while his two allies, Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan, died one after another.
The wealth left by Yuan Shu cannot be transported out. If it is worth more than 200,000 yuan, it will take thousands of horse-drawn carriages. After that, Yuan Shu will not be able to escape in time. How could he bring this money with him! After Yuan Shu died, he even told Yang Hong about the money.
Yang Hong knew that the money was not given to Lu Bu directly, because at that time Lu Bu didn't even have a territory, and he couldn't get it out after telling him. Later, Lu Bu took down Sun Ce's Wancheng, which gave him a place, but Yang Hong didn't express it directly either. come out.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that the situation of Lu Bu’s army at that time was not good. There were gentry riots in Wancheng, and the 100,000 army led by Sun Ce attacked outside. The first reason is that money touches people's hearts. If such a large amount of money is leaked out, then wait for a bunch of hungry wolves to pounce on it! After Shouchun was besieged by Liu Bei, Yang Hong couldn't speak out even more, so as not to interfere with the actions of Liu Mang's army. Now that Liu Mang needs money, it's time to take it out. The bad neighbors around him, including Liubei Wancheng Zhang Xiu in Yuzhou, have all been driven home, and the most powerful Lao Cao is also concerned about the peace of Hebei and ignores it. to the Central Plains. It is time to withdraw this batch of money.
"Why did the highway have so much money to buy bones from other places?!" Lu Bu was a little confused. The money could be used to expand the army by hundreds of thousands, and even rebuild the city wall defense measures, and the military rations could also buy millions of stones. .
You have to know that Gongsun Zan from Youzhou has stopped Yuan Shu for more than a year by relying on Yanjing in the border of Hebei. No matter how miserable Yuan Shu is, he can stop Lao Cao for several years!
"Marquis Wen, the Former Lord thought the same way back then, but he didn't dare to take out this batch of money!" Yang Hong smiled wryly and shook his head. If it was as easy as Lu Bu said, it would be great, Yuan Shu said. Emperor, the reputation is really bad. The ancients followed the heaven, earth, ruler, relatives and teachers. He is rebellious. Although there are so many princes in this world who have the heart of disobedience, as long as the one in Xudu lives well, I dare not come out to be king, let alone be emperor! After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, all the bad hearts of the people were lost, and the morale of the army was also in turmoil. Many generals defected, such as Chen Lanleibo and others,
Even Sun Ce, the former adopted son of Yuan Shu, drew a clear line with Yuan Shu and even sent troops to attack Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu is rich, but he can't buy things. Who dares to sell? The neighbors around, except Liu Biao in Jingzhou, who didn't send troops, the others came to attack Yuan Shu. Even Liu Bei and Yuan Shu didn't have half a dime. Those who are related also come to join in the fun.
Money can't buy military rations, there are soldiers and horses but lack of generals, and even some rebels turned around to deal with their old masters. Do you think Yuan Shu dared to take out this batch of money! Taking it out can only attract those who have not attacked themselves. Even rebels want to swallow this batch of money.
"With this batch of money! I can buy food and grass!" Liu Mang was very excited. More than 200,000 gold, in addition to buying food and grass, Liu Mang is also planning to expand the industrial park, iron smelting and weapons should be put on the agenda. Even Liu Mang is planning to implement the reserve farming policy, but he suffers from lack of money. Now that he has this batch of money, Liu Mang can summon more craftsmen to come out. Issue a summons. Thoroughly build Yangzhou, the gateway of the Jianghuai River, into a prosperous ancient capital.
"Uncle Hong, this time I will remember your first meritorious service. I will definitely go up and ask Xu Du to give you a title. Xu Shu, quickly send me soldiers from all walks of life, and send envoys to the places of the princes to buy food and grass. Buy as much as you have, even if the price is three times or four times, I will!" With this batch of money. Liu Mang's aura has really increased, the uncle is rich.
"Yes, my lord!" Xu Shu nodded and said.
"Thank you Patriarch!" Yang Hong has already looked down on these fame and fortune. What he wants to do under Liu Mang's command is to make his own lady truly valued by Liu Mang, so that he can repay the spirit of the former lord.
Seeing that Yang Hong didn't respond, Liu Wei added another sentence, "Uncle Hong, after today, I will trouble you to go to Lujiang to pick up Ling'er, Fang'er, and Yu'er. They haven't seen each other for several months. I miss you so much!" Speaking of Liu Mang's wives, they really have everything.
There are unruly ones, such as Lu Bu's precious daughter Lu Qiling, this is a barbaric girl, with such strong martial arts, Liu Wei can't beat her, and she is usually very disobedient, this time she even planned to come to Shouchun alone, which made Bingzhou wolf ride for her However, Zhang Fan was ambushed by Liu Bei's army and died.
Fortunately, this Miss Lu is a road idiot, she can't figure out the way of Shouchun at all, she got lost halfway before leaving Lujiang River, and finally had no choice but to ask the local government office for help, and then she was sent back to Wancheng , under Lu Bu's anger, he had to be imprisoned. If Miss Lu was captured by Liu Beijun, Liu Wei really didn't know what to do.
The second is Yuan Fang, who is a lady of every family. Yuan Fang doesn't fight for anything, and she is reticent like a sister Lin. In this political marriage, the forced marriage contract was not very satisfactory, which alienated Yuan Fang's concern. Liu Wei mentioned Yuan Fang, but it made Yang Hong happy, and there was a smile on his old face.
"Yes, old minister, let's go back and prepare!" Although Liu Mang put Yuan Fang behind Miss Lu, Yang Hong was not angry. After all, Yuan Fang was just an ordinary wife, and Miss Lu was the real princess.
The rest of Liu Mang is Da Qiao Qiaoyu. Although Qiao Yu married Liu Mang as a concubine, she is actually the real empress in Liu Mang's palace. The fight for world supremacy ahead requires a stable backyard. She is older than both Lu Qiling and Yuan Fang, so both of them are also called sister Qiao Yu, and they listen to Qiao Yu's words very much, which ensures the harmony in the family.
"My lord father-in-law, there is no need to transport the money from Lujiang. For the more than 200,000 gold, you can take another 50,000! Go and rebuild the Bingzhou Wolf Rider!" Liu Mang finally thought of his cheap father-in-law Lu Bu.
Lu Bu also rolled Liu Mang's eyes, and finally remembered him as his father-in-law. Tens of thousands of gold were almost consumed in less than a month, but it's no wonder why Yangzhou is just a waste of time! It's no wonder that the consumption is high, and Liu Mang's army is not without achievements, such as the improved bed crossbow, the siege weapon ballista, and even those navy warships, and this thing called cement.
This cement is not only for civilian use, but also for building city defenses. Many city defenses are made of wood, and they are most afraid of fire attacks, especially for some navy villages. many. Moreover, it is more convenient to obtain materials. When it is not in use, it is just a pile of powder, and it turns into hard rock when it is used. Unlike ordinary bluestones, which are all in pieces, it is very huge and difficult to transport.
Taking part of those gold and silver cars as a deposit for the purchase also made Shouchun City busy and there were hundreds of cars. It soon became dark. Liu Mang looked bored, with Gao Shun, a cold-faced person, these Soldiers and officials don't want to be corrupt, so Liu Mang went back to rest very relieved.
But Liu Mang hasn't fallen asleep yet! Suddenly there was a message sent by Cheng Yu from outside, and Liu Mang's drowsiness completely disappeared, "I tell my lord, the cavalry under the city, many of the cavalry are Xiliang iron cavalry! There are thousands of them!"
"What!" Liu Wei did it directly, "Come here and put on the armor for this king!" Xiliang iron cavalry? There are even Xiliang iron cavalry, this picture is really boring, and there are Xiliang iron cavalry sent here, what do you want? Attack Yangzhou! (to be continued..)
