"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor is dead!"
Fiji murmured and repeated these words, the expression on his face getting more and more solemn.
After a long silence, Fiji bowed deeply to Xiao Ming, "His Royal Highness, the future will be a generation of Ming princes. This is the blessing of my great country and the people."
Xiao Ming smiled and didn't explain. In his opinion, Dingdu Youzhou is very close to the sea. Secondly, only Dingdu Youzhou can completely solve the border problems in the north.
Rejecting Fiji's proposal, Xiao Ming followed Ye Qingyun to the Palace of Wei.
Different from his simple style of the palace, the palace of Wei is extremely luxurious. Only the main hall is as magnificent as the Chengqing Hall of the imperial city. After the main hall is a winding stone path, and the end of the path is a river that crosses the palace. , A stone bridge stretches across the river.
On the other side of the river is a complex of buildings, this is the bedroom of the king Wei and his concubines.
"When I was in Chang'an, I heard about the extreme luxury of the Wei Dynasty Palace and now it seems that it is true." Fiji said.
Ye Qingyun said: "This King Wei is not the most luxurious place in Jinling City. His Royal Highness and Feige will understand what luxury is when they look at the treasury of Jinling City."
Xiao Ming and Fiji looked at each other. This was the focus of their visit to Jinling City this time. Xiao Ming said after hearing this: "Then what are you waiting for, don't lead the way."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Qingyun smiled.
Then the two came out of the Wei Palace and headed west. Ye Qingyun stopped on the bank of Xuanwu Lake in Jinling City, pointed to the folk square on the riverside and said, "Your Highness, this is where the Jinling City Mansion Repository is located."
Xiao Ming looked in the direction that Ye Qingyun was pointing at. There were many pavilions in the private square not far away, which looked like a palace complex.
"This is the treasury of Jinling City?" Xiao Ming asked.
Ye Qingyun said: "Yes, Your Highness, Wei Di's tax income over the years is in this treasury."
Fiji is also a little stunned. The buildings in this private building are connected to each other, as if they were a long dragon.
With some expectation in his heart, Xiao Ming walked to Minfang and walked for 20 minutes, and everyone arrived at the treasury of Jinling City.
Only when he got closer did Xiao Ming understand the huge size of this treasury. The wide halls in front of him were connected to each other. At this time, soldiers of the Dengzhou Army were guarding these halls.
"His Royal Highness, please see that the treasury reserves are silver taels. The general has already sent someone to count them. A total of eight million taels of silver." Ye Qingyun said.
The glasses of Fiji and a group of officials suddenly widened, and Fiji said: "Wang Wei is indeed extremely rich."
At this time, Xiao Ming's heart beat unconvincingly. What Qingzhou Bank lacks now is silver. If he has enough silver, he can issue banknotes on the basis of silver.
Now that Wang Wei's mansion has so much silver stored in it, it was just a timely rain for him.
Under the guidance of Ye Qingyun, he and Fiji entered the treasury together, and the silver light suddenly pierced his eyes slightly. There were neatly stacked silver ingots in the treasury, and each silver ingot was in the shape of a long strip.
He picked up a silver ingot and weighed it. A silver ingot was at least a catty.
Eight million taels of silver is eight hundred tons. It is estimated that the savings of King Wei for more than ten years are here.
"His Royal Highness, we are rich." Fiji could not help but dance with excitement at this time.
Ye Qingyun smiled and continued: "The store in this hall is silver, and the store next door is copper and copper coins. Compared to silver, there is more copper."
"Let's go, let's see." Xiao Ming was exuberant, this time he really got rich overnight, and the business of Raider Wei Di was a big profit.
Then the group went to the copper hall, where there were 1,200 tons of copper stored there, and then they went to the hall where cloth, raw silk, tea, and porcelain were stored.
At the end of the trip, they went to the granary in Jinling City, but Ye Qingyun still doesn’t know the specific amount of grain in the granary. Because the quantity is too large, it can’t be weighed at all. They can only be based on the granary’s account book, which is 5 million shi. .
After gaining an understanding of the Jinling City Mansion Treasury, Xiao Ming seemed to relax. He said: "Now the food problem has finally been solved. With the food collected from Wei Di, the army that has closed the country will not worry about running out of rations. "
"Exactly." Fiji smiled, "With the support of Wei Di, the granary, His Royal Highness is like a tiger."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed at the same time.
Coming out of the Jinling Mansion, Xiao Ming said to Ye Qingyun: "By the way, where is King Wei?"
"Back to your Highness, now Wang Wei is being held in the jail in Jinling City, and Wang Wei's relatives are also being held."
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said, "Take this king to see him."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ye Qingyun took Xiao Ming to the prison of Jinling City.
After walking for another twenty minutes, Xiao Ming and the others arrived at the jail in Jinling City. At this time, Ye Qingyun sent someone to the cell to pick Wei Wang out.
After a while, the dirty Wang Wei walked out of the prison.
Seeing Wei Wang with pale hair and a dispirited look, Xiao Ming sighed slightly. Compared with the brilliant Wei Wang before, the current Wei Wang is just a bad old man.
At this time, Wei Wang squinted his eyes, and seemed to be very uncomfortable with the outside light. When he adjusted to the outside light, he saw Xiao Ming who was standing in front of him clearly.
"Xiao Ming, you are still here." Wei Wang said with a smile, "How? My Jinling City is very prosperous, right?"
"Jinling City is indeed very prosperous."
Xiao Ming said lightly, he saw a trace of hysterical madness in Wei Wang's eyes.
"Hahaha, this king has such a wealthy Jinling city but lost in your hands, why! Why on earth is this!" Wei Wang's eyes fixed on Xiao Ming.
Ye Qingyun was standing a little closer to Xiao Ming at this time, for fear that King Wei would be violent and hurt people~EbookFREE.me~ because the destiny is not yours. "Xiao Ming gave Wei Wang a desperate answer.
"Destiny, destiny." The madness in Wang Wei's eyes gradually turned into sadness, "Yes, destiny is not in me, destiny is not in me, this is not my fault, it is destiny!"
Fiji sighed: "His Royal Highness, Wang Wei is afraid that he is crazy."
"No, he is not crazy, he is just too unwilling to fail." Xiao Ming said, "Old Fei Ge thought how to deal with King Wei."
"The king of Wei is conspiring to commit rebellion and he is very evil, and only white silk and poisoned wine can be used with it." Fiji's tone was firm.
Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed, the feudal dynasty was so cruel, cutting grass and roots was something every emperor would do.
Now Xiao Ming has gradually adapted to this world. This civilization has just sprouted, but in a world where barbarism is still in power, if you want to survive in this world, you must learn to be cold.
He nodded, "Give him a cup of poison bar, Wei state is dead, no longer needs a Wei king."
