Great Tang Southern Emperor

With that said, Li Zhen stretched out a finger.

"Ten guan... oh my god." The monkey exclaimed, "It's just an ordinary chamber pot... It's still used, and it's worth ten guan... How much is the best porcelain?"

"Equal weight in gold."

"...What do you mean?" Li Zhen's words were out of context. Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and they blinked and fell into a state of bewilderment.

"It means literally." Li Zhen shrugged and said, "A piece of porcelain is worth as much gold as it is!"

"..." For a moment, the audience was silent, and then...

"Pfft~" Wang Can spat out.

"Click!" The monkey's jaw dislocated.

"A little dizzy..." A Shenji camp who had been eavesdropping felt top-heavy and was about to collapse.

"Plop!" Someone also fell directly to the ground.

"Hic!" Someone even couldn't take it anymore, so he smacked directly.

"..." Baili Changqing, who had been silently watching Li Zhen, trembled subconsciously, and the object in his hand was almost thrown out by him, but he recovered in time, and wiped it with his sleeve lovingly... ...porcelain spittoon...

Well, it was used too.

So what?

My spittoon is much bigger than that chamber pot, and it is worth 20 taels of silver.

Chapter 380 Five million taels (this is Chapter 500)

Chapter 153 500 million taels

"I said your reaction is too big, right?" Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, if your price is only the price in Nanyang, if it is placed in Europe, the price must be at least the same volume of gold, then are you going crazy?

"Can the reaction be mild?" Fang Yiai murmured: "Your Highness, do you know? After you told me this, I once wanted to lose my official position and sell porcelain abroad. If I am very If I had done it like this years ago, maybe I, Your Highness, and you would be rich now..."

"Uh... aren't you about to realize your dream? As long as we can really open up routes to foreign countries, shouldn't we just make money?" Li Zhen laughed.

Fang Yiai scratched her head: "That's right, when the route is opened up, I will definitely make a trip to Europe, hehehe."

No longer dealing with the estate's widow, Li Zhen ordered: "Okay, don't be hysterical, hurry up and get to work, hurry up and count things out, we have to set off tomorrow."

Wang Can held up a notebook and said, "Your Highness, we have gained more than we expected this time. If we want to make a complete count, at least tomorrow will be enough. In other words, we have to stay another day..."

"That's it, let's rest for another day. It's just right. By the way, we can bury the natives of Rili City to save the plague." Li Zhen scratched her head and said, "There is another problem. Think about it, everyone. Is there any way to save the plague?" Can this treasure be transported away? We have lost contact with the rear now, so it is definitely not possible to carry it by ourselves, it will slow down our marching speed too much, but if it is placed here, I am not at ease."

Fang Yiai said: "Then, why don't we bury it? When we call back later, we'll bring out the treasure."

Li Zhen shook her head and rejected the proposal, saying: "No, although I didn't find it, but I have an intuition that our enemy is probably monitoring our every move at all times. No matter how concealed we are, we will fall into the opponent's trap." In the eyes—do you think the other party will not be interested in this treasure?"

"Then what should we do? Shall we transport the treasure back? Break through Huanzhou City?" Fang Yiai frowned. As for making him give up the treasure, it was impossible to say anything.

Don't forget, the premise of the previous valuation of more than 100 million guan was that the warehouse was full of silver, but now it's not just silver, all kinds of gold, jade and fine porcelain, the value of these objects is actually much higher than Although their own value has not yet been calculated, it is certain that the price is much higher than 100 million.

With so much money, maybe it can cover Datang's military expenditure for two years. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Seeing that everyone was in distress, Li Zhen smiled: "I said Captain Baili, when will you see it?"

Baili Changsheng raised his head and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness Yue Wang is really shrewd. I thought I was covering up well enough, but I didn't expect you to see it."

"It's nothing, as long as you are careful, you will eventually find some clues." Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "The only question now is, do you have enough people to eat such a large number of treasures?"

Baili Changsheng said confidently: "His Royal Highness King Yue can rest assured that since his subordinates have agreed to this matter, they will naturally be sure to send the treasure back to Tang Dynasty safely."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "That's great, then I will ask Captain Baili, how long will it take you?"

"Your Highness is polite. They are all working for the Tang Dynasty." Baili Changsheng said: "As for the time, don't worry, Your Highness. You can count the things and help us pack them. We have a way to transport them away."

"That would be great." Li Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Baili Changsheng would take too long and delay his own time.

Baili Changsheng nodded lightly and said: "Then the subordinates can make arrangements."

After Baili Changsheng left, Fang Yizhi walked up to Li Zhen curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Why can I understand every word, but I don't even know what it means when I put it together?" gone?"

Li Zhen glanced at him in surprise: "No way, haven't you already guessed Baili Changsheng's identity?"

"I guessed the identity. If I guessed correctly, Baili Changsheng should be the emperor's secret guard." Fang Yiai said, "But what does it have to do with the treasure? How could he be able to bring so many treasures by himself? If nothing else, the box of gold and silver under my feet would be enough for him to move it alone, right?"

"Who told you that he only has one person?" "Even if there is a small team, it won't work." Fang Yiai pointed around with her bracelet and said, "There are hundreds of boxes of treasures here. You can't give up so many supplies, even if you send him 1000 people, he won't be able to move, right?"

"What if we use a boat?"

"Boat?" Fang Yiai was stunned, and suddenly realized: "Yes, Rili is next to the seaside, as long as the supplies are transported to the seaside, can't they be transported by boat? Such a simple matter, how can I Didn't think of it?"

Li Zhen patted him: "Okay, don't be ridiculous, hurry up and help count the supplies, take a day off tomorrow, and we will leave the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

After another day of rest in Rili City, the bodies of the natives have been buried. Although the city is still full of blood, it is not as scary as before. Although the city has been massacred, the infrastructure has not been damaged much. , but a part of the building caught fire, which has already been extinguished, and Rili City is basically still in a complete state, which happens to be used as a gathering point for immigrants in the future.

In addition, the statistics of the treasures have also ended. Contrary to everyone's expectations, the amount of treasures is really astonishing. Originally, according to Li Zhen's prediction, although the treasures are not all silver, the value may be higher, but it is not true. It should be higher than 200 million taels, but after actual statistics, the amount of this treasure is astonishingly as high as 500 million taels-this is really an astronomical sum, you must know that even Datang's annual tax revenue is no more than 1000 million taels. Just over [-] million guan.

Huanzhou and Luofuzhou are also famously poor places in the Tang Dynasty (the two states are Xiazhou, and the counties under their jurisdiction are all Xiaxian counties, with poor mountains and rivers). Well, there may be rich people in the city, but where can rich people get rich in a place like this?

Even if this is a border city, there are troops stationed all the time, and there is a lot of salary in the army, but even if the salary is added, it is impossible to have so much. It will exceed 10 million taels, plus the collection from the private sector, at most it will be just over 100 million taels—then the question arises, where did the extra 200 million taels come from?

Chapter 381 Gold Mine

Chapter 154 Gold Mine

Li Zhenruo said thoughtfully: "In addition to the few 10 taels found in Rili City, there are more than 200 million taels that have no provenance. This is really strange, and the gold inside is a bit too much."

"Could it be Rili's treasury and their salary." Wang Can speculated: "After all, they are launching a war, and it is possible that the salary will be more, and we did find a lot of stamps printed on it. The gold and silver of Yi characters."

Fang Yiai shook his head and retorted: "It's only 5 people, how can they have more than 200 million taels of salary? If Linyi is so rich, then they have already developed well, and it is uncertain who will destroy who between Datang and Tang. And there is so much gold in it, can Lin Yi still use gold to pay his salary?"

"Then there is only one possibility." Li Zhen picked up a gold ingot from the box and said slowly, "Look, how long has it been since this gold was cast?"

"No more than a month at most..."

Fang Yiai took it over and identified it. As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire. The fire on this gold ingot is so obvious. In fact, one month is already long. This gold ingot can only be refined for ten days at most. .

"now it's right."

"What do you mean?"

Li Zhen didn't answer, but continued to ask Wang Can, "When you searched the city, did you ever see equipment that can hold gold like an alchemy furnace?"
