With the material rewards, the soldiers worked harder. They were not afraid of dirt or smell, and dug hard. As boxes of gold were carried up, the soldiers' faces were filled with excited smiles.
There were only about three hundred of them, and they had just counted the box of gold, which amounted to sixty thousand taels. When divided, everyone could get at least two hundred taels.
Because he really couldn't stand the smell, the soldier worked very hard. Soon someone emptied the manure pit and was surprised to find a box inside!
The box was very large and very heavy. It took a dozen soldiers a lot of effort to lift the box out.
"General..." The person next to him wanted to remind him, but it was already too late. Vice General Li had already got his hands dirty.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
However, in order not to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, General Li did not say that he did not know, but said solemnly: "You are just going to carry out His Highness's orders, and will he still play tricks on you?"
The soldiers didn't dare to make trouble anymore and quickly went to fetch water so that Deputy General Li could wash his hands. Of course, it was also very important to rinse the box clean.
Okay, okay, so disgusting!
The smell is just that once you get used to it, none of them could stand it at first. But as they dug and dug, they became numb. They held their breath one by one and dug for a while to rest.
Not to mention the soldiers, even Lieutenant General Li was shocked. Who would have thought that there would be so much gold under the pit? This is simply a miracle.
Qin Jiyan looked out the dark window and sneered...
The smell of feces after being stupefied for several days can kill people. Even if they wore masks, the little soldiers still couldn't stand the overwhelming stench. After turning over two shovels, they ran to the side and vomited it out.
"General, general, come and see, there is something in the manure." The soldier was so frightened that he threw the shovel in his hand into the manure and stood there shouting.
"General, general, general, general..." The casual soldier stuttered excitedly, "Yellow, yellow, yellow... gold!" So much, so much, he has never seen so much silver in his life.
What was even more disgusting was that after Lieutenant General Li found feces on his hands, he calmly wiped the feces on his hands on the clothes of the soldier next to him, but...
"Quick, quick, go and report to His Highness that we have dug up gold." Vice General Li felt like he had found a treasure and was extremely excited, but...
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare...
Although this amount of gold is incomparable to the gold lost in the treasury, His Highness Qin believes that if he can find this batch of gold, other silver and gold will certainly be found as well!
As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by the secret guard, "No need, His Highness already knows what's going on here, you can continue digging. His Highness said that you have made a contribution tonight, and the first box of gold dug up tonight will be fully rewarded to you!"
Because Deputy General Li doesn't have to work, he doesn't wear gloves on his hands, so...
"What? What?" When Deputy General Li heard this, he ran over quickly, "Quick, raise the torch." In such excitement, Deputy General Li forgot that there was excrement in the box, and stretched out his hand to pull it out, "Quick, quick , quickly, lift the box up!"
Everyone was shocked: "Yellow, gold?"
Gold, gold, they have a share too!
Qin Jiyan did not stay at the scene and chose to go to the Ministry of Finance, not because he was in a hurry to check the documents in the Ministry of Finance, but because he had a slight mysophobia and couldn't stand the dirt and smell of the latrine.
As for the man behind the scenes
The whole place was silent, and everyone looked at Vice General Li's feces-stained hands in silence.
I wish I could turn back time and pretend to be sick when Qin Jiyan was leaving the army, so as to escape tonight's torture.
Everyone just wants to die!
If Vice General Li goes to see His Highness Qin with a bad smell, they will not have an easy time tonight.
There are sixteen boxes in total, all containing gold, estimated to be about 800,000 taels.
"Well, you work hard, His Majesty the Emperor will not treat you badly." The secret guard looked calm, as if this was a normal thing.
Qin Jiyan specially mobilized hundreds of people to dig a latrine in the middle of the night. Of course, he was not just having fun after eating, but he suspected that the money from the treasury was hidden under the latrine.
Two hundred taels, this is two hundred taels of gold, converted into silver it is two thousand taels of silver!
In this lifetime, no... even in ten lifetimes, they may not be able to earn two thousand taels of silver.
It's just that nothing can be said about this matter until it is dug up. After all, His Highness Qin is only suspicious, and he cannot guarantee that the silver will definitely be in the manure pit.
With the hard work of the soldiers, all the boxes in the latrine were quickly dug out.
When the torch was illuminated, the golden light almost blinded everyone. The soldiers rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
He really felt shit.
"Okay, that's a lot of gold." Selling him wouldn't be worth so much gold.
Originally it was just a little bit on the fingers of the hand, but now it's all over the palm.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is a good man." There is money to be made by following His Highness the Emperor Taisun!
When Lieutenant General Li and the other soldiers heard what the secret guard said, they were all so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws. Vice General Li pointed to the gold in front of him and said in disbelief: "His Highness said, is this gold rewarded to us?"
Well…
The secret guard kept watching and reported to His Highness Qin as soon as the gold came out. When he came back and heard what Vice General Li said, the secret guard quickly blocked Vice General Li's way.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Buckets of water were poured upward. It took more than ten buckets of water to wash away the dirt on the box, but the smell couldn't be dissipated.
"Open it and take a look." Lieutenant General Li was now unwilling to take action.
Although the soldiers in the courtyard could not understand how their great Emperor Taisun could give such an order, even though they were extremely depressed after receiving the order, they still pinched their noses and dug the latrines one by one despite the stench. open…
These words were a bit harsh. The soldiers didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they turned around and got into the business of digging manure...
"Yes." Xiaobing stepped forward, opened the box, and then...
Lieutenant General Li's face was distorted. He looked at his sticky hands and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you get water quickly? Lift the box up and rinse it clean."
Lieutenant General Li forgot that these soldiers were doing dirty work, and the clothes on his body were not as clean as his hands. So Lieutenant General Li was in tragedy!
At this time, they completely forgot what their hands had just touched!
"General, why did His Highness ask us to dig a latrine?" Several new soldiers who came in asked because they couldn't bear it anymore.
This box of gold is worth at least fifty or sixty thousand taels. His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun will reward you as much as you want. This is too domineering.
This is the fact. Qin Jiyan has always been generous to the people around him, and those who follow him never lack these things. Not to mention the five or sixty thousand taels of gold, His Highness Qin would not frown even if he rewarded all the gold dug out tonight.
When Li Shenjiang heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips. He also wanted to know, okay
There is no way, no matter who asks His Highness Qin to find a woman, he can find a gold mine with just a finger.
