The lights flickered in the shimmering secret room, and Lu Fei and the others looked at the scene in surprise.
In front of them, there are piles of gold and silver objects, and there are countless copper coins, and many of the ropes for wearing copper coins have even rotted.
With just this glance, Lu Fei was able to determine that the silver in front of him was at least six million taels. In Sima Ying's words, these were not all.
"Lu Fei, I've really made a fortune this time, it's worth the two months, and it's worth it." Luo Xin patted Lu Fei's shoulder excitedly, laughing.
Lu Fei was dumbfounded, his mouth water almost staying.
He said to the generals around him: "You all keep things close to me. If you lose a couple of silver, be careful that I pull your skins. You are holding the most advanced rifles. Most soldiers are still using old-fashioned rifles. Musketeers, with this silver, they can use it."
"Yes, commander." The generals shouted.
Ordered a group of generals, Lu Fei and Luo Xin continued to follow Sima Ying to other secret rooms.
To their surprise, these secret rooms also hide a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and the like.
However, this was only the warehouse for storing gold and silver in the Chu Palace.
Then everyone followed Sima Ying to the granary in the city.
A huge amount of grain and grass are stored here, and cotton, cloth, fur, etc. connected to the grain and grass warehouse are used as taxes and materials. In addition, they went to see the seized wealth of the wealthy family.
After inspecting all the supplies in Lin'an City, Lu Fei took a deep breath. He said to Luo Xin: "This time we are really making a lot of money. With these grains and grass, we can station in Lin'an and continue to go south to fight with the parliamentary army. "
Luo Xin nodded in agreement. He said: "If this is the case, we will quickly count the materials and transport the seized property to Qingzhou. Now the court is short of money everywhere."
"In addition, the wealth seized from the tyrants of Chu in the past two months has been transported together. Now the soldiers are waiting to be equipped with the Falcon rifle, and this grenade is simply a weapon to attack the trenches. Now Sima Hao is in the trenches In the battle, it can be seen that the Merchants Council is even more familiar with this kind of tactics and must be prevented." Lu Fei said.
It was agreed that at this time, the two immediately ordered the soldiers to count the wealth in Lin'an City, and on the third day they handed the number to the arriving Niu Ben.
"Only gold and silver are 47 million taels. Other shops, houses, farms, workshops, grain, silk, etc. are equivalent to 890 million taels of silver!" Niu Ben's eyes almost stared out.
"Old General, this is just a rough figure. More detailed counts are still going on. People used to say that the wealth of the Cao family in Dayu was equivalent to hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Now it seems to be true. Too rich."
Compared to Niu Ben, Luo Quan is a lot more indifferent. He said: "Chu has been operating for more than three hundred years since he established himself as a country. If there is no such wealth, then it is really over."
Niu Ben took a deep breath. He said, "This gold and silver will be arranged and shipped to Qingzhou immediately. Silk, porcelain, cloth, excess grain, copper, iron, etc. will also be shipped as soon as possible."
"Yes, General." Lu Fei and Luo Xin answered.
Luo Quan looked at the streets of Lin'an and said: "Yes, this war did not cause much damage to Lin'an City. It is estimated that the bustling city will be restored soon. When the merchants bring the steam engine to build a workshop here, it is estimated that it will soon be here. It can become a major business center in Great Yu."
The bull rushes on this question. Compared with the North being harassed and plundered by the barbarians every year, the South has been stable and prosperous for a long time. Even after this war, the situation of the people is still much better than that of the North during the war.
In addition, the southern climate is warm and suitable for growing rice, and the water network is densely covered. As long as it settles down, the grain can be recovered in one season.
...
Fuzhou, here was once the land directly under the royal family of the Kingdom of Dayu, but for hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Chu has been exerting influence on it all the time. After the rebellion of the vassal kings, Fuzhou was the land of the royal family, but it was secretly returned to the rule of King Chu.
But after the army of the merchant council arrived, it quickly became a paradise for the merchant council.
At this time, Cao Kun came personally on the Fuzhou Wharf. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a merchant ship with the word Cao entering the wharf.
After the ship arrived at the dock, Cao Kun immediately asked soldiers to the people on board.
"Earl Kerry, I said I won't let you down." Standing by Cao Kun's side was an Englishman. He was the Earl Kerry who was in charge of the British East India Company.
On the right hand side of Cao Kun are Brazil and Richard, their eyes watching the six people who got off the boat feverishly.
"Cao Kun, we didn't misunderstand you." Kerry glanced at Cao Kun appreciatively, and at the same time glanced at Brazil and Richard in disgust, making no secret of their aversion to the two.
Now in the North American Colonial War, they gained absolute advantage at the beginning, but the French stepped in at this time. They chose to support the colony.
Although they have been dug into the corner by the French in America, they have the same interests in Da Yu.
The French do not want to lose their East Indo-China Federation, and they do not want to lose their British India, Malacca and Australia.
Moreover, the failure of the northern nomads and the Japanese nation made them more vigilant about this, especially the mercenaries brought new artillery shells used by the Da Yu State Navy.
For this damned shell, they paid a high price of 300,000 pounds.
However, in his opinion, this kind of effort is worth it. The sophisticated structure of the shells made their officers amazed~EbookFREE.me~ Because of this, they decided to focus on collecting science and technology and talents from the country and manufacturing Chaos fell into second place.
Today, after giving a lot of support to the merchant council, they finally got what they dreamed of.
"Earl Kerry, we French have to pick first." Brazil said unceremoniously. The sea was too dangerous. This time Kerry arrived in Fuzhou from the interior through their East India Federation. Kerry did not have a choice.
Shrugging, Kerry kept a smile on his face, but in his heart he greeted all the French women, "Of course, we will keep our promises, but you had better keep your promises, otherwise I guarantee that none of your French ships can Back to Europe."
Brasil's face changed, he snorted and walked straight to the six people who got off the boat. After looking at it, he chose three that looked stronger.
Kerry breathed a sigh of relief. He understood what Brazil was thinking. He was afraid that people with weak health could not survive the drifting at sea.
But he didn't care, because the configuration of British warships was much better than the French.
