Although Pusanhutu felt that he had gained a lot, the amount was still very small compared to Su Yonglin's requirements and was still not enough.
Pu Sanhu Tu thought for a while and felt that handing over a batch first would calm Su Yonglin's restless heart and prevent him from threatening to attack at every turn.
So Pusanhutu sent the Minister of Household Affairs to personally escort the gold and silver to the Guangfu Army station outside the city and hand over the money to the Guangfu Army.
Unexpectedly, Su Yonglin was very unhappy after asking about how they got the money. He felt that Pusanhutu was perfunctory with him, so he ordered the beheading of the Minister of Household Affairs as a deterrent, and ordered Pusanhutu to immediately report to the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom and Bai Bai. Officials must not make mistakes when searching for gold and silver.
And if he couldn't get the amount he wanted within three days, he would attack the imperial city and start killing, starting with the powerful!
Seeing the head of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Pusanhutu, who was already in a trance, was so frightened that he no longer cared about other things, and ordered the army to immediately start searching for the powerful and powerful officials.
Search out all the gold and silver in their homes, and don't allow any to be left behind!
This aroused strong protests and resistance from the officials and dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom. They all scolded Pusanhutu if he had lost his mind. Queen Mother Tudan even asked Pusanhutu if he was crazy.
Pusanhutu put the head of Minister of the Ministry of Finance on the ground, pointed at the head and cried continuously.
"I'm not crazy, I just know that if I don't deliver the gold and silver in full, the Liberation Army will definitely enter the city. By then, everything will be too late!"
The Queen Mother Tudan was so frightened by that head that she didn't dare to say anything. She didn't even dare to interfere with the matter of Pusanhutu sending people to search for the property of the Tudan family. She just hid in the palace and prayed to God. God has mercy on the Kingdom of Jin.
However, God was probably dozing off and had no intention of showing mercy to the Kingdom of Jin, just as God had no mercy to the Kingdom of Song.
Pusanhutu attacked the dignitaries and officials of the Jin Kingdom and gained a lot.
This is natural. This group of people is always the smallest but the richest. Many people have piles of gold and silver that cannot be moved by dozens of large trucks.
While counting the amount of gold and silver, Pusanhutu realized with his keen sense of smell that they must have some hidden treasures, so he ordered that people were allowed to inform each other. Successful informants would be rewarded and protected from being plundered.
This is great. In order to avoid being raided, each family gave up the superficial harmony in the past and accused each other of breaking the news. This family said that the other family hid the gold and silver in the wall, and the other family said that this family hid the gold and silver. Hidden in the cellar.
There are even more outrageous cases of packing gold and silver into boxes and sinking them to the bottom of man-made ponds at home, or hollowing out the trunks of large trees at home and hiding gold and silver in the trunks.
Pusanhutu was overjoyed, and once again sent out his troops to conduct house-to-house inspections based on the intelligence, and plunder all the hidden gold and silver. If they encountered resistance during the period, they would just draw their swords and kill them. No matter whether you were successful in informing or not, we would search together.
The Jurchens' noble families were raided, and the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries were raided. Except for the immediate royal family in the palace, almost no other members of the ruling class escaped.
Pusanhutu himself contributed all the gold and silver hidden in his home and did not dare to keep any.
Because the amount of gold and silver was too large to be counted in three days, Su Yonglin gave him a two-day grace period and sent statisticians from the Liberation Army into the imperial city to help them count.
So they counted a total of 1,070,000 taels of gold and 1,112,000 taels of silver.
Counting the 320,000 taels of gold and 2.4 million taels of silver that were previously delivered to Su Yonglin, the total is 1.39 million taels of gold and 13.52 million taels of silver. The amount is staggering.
However, compared with the amount requested by Su Yonglin, silver is enough, but gold is slightly insufficient.
So Pu San Hu Tu was still a little uneasy, wondering if Su Yonglin would be satisfied.
In fact, Su Yonglin himself didn't expect to get this amount. He was the lion who opened his mouth to scare people and prepared to lay the foundation for the next step of extortion.
Now they are targeting money, and the next step is to target people.
But who knew they could really get so much gold and silver, and in addition to the lack of gold, there was actually a surplus of silver.
But that's not important. No matter how much it exceeds, it won't affect his next move.
Seeing a large amount of gold and silver being transported into the Liberation Army camp one by one, Su Yonglin did not feel happy at all, but felt a little sad.
Because these are the people's treasure, the hard-earned money of the people who were cruelly oppressed by the rulers of the Jin Kingdom. Every tael of gold and silver is stained with the blood and tears of the people. How can he be happy?
When inspecting the gold and silver, Su Yonglin expressed his emotions to the generals around him.
"It's just an inner city with a population of only a few hundred thousand, but so much gold and silver can be plundered and piled up like mountains. It shows how cruelly the people of Jin Kingdom have been squeezed."
He pointed to the gold and silver and said to the people around him: "The Kingdom of Jin is no different from the Kingdom of Song. When you see the Kingdom of Jin, you can think of the Kingdom of Song. So why did you not have enough to eat or wear or keep warm in the past, and you almost died of cold and starvation? Do you know why now? All the money that can keep you fed, clothed and living a good life has been looted here."
The officers following Su Yonglin were initially dazzled by the gold and silver. They felt dizzy and felt that they had never seen so much money in their lives, and their hearts were deeply shocked.
But when Su Yonglin said this, they were all stunned. After a while, an inexplicable feeling flowed in their hearts.
Most of them were born in poverty, and when Su Yonglin mentioned them, they couldn't help but think of their own tragic past, and the past of their families being brutally exploited and oppressed, so emotions of pain and hatred arose in their hearts.
Hate the rulers of Jin and Song, hate the superior people, hate cruel exploitation and oppression.
Wealth never appears out of thin air. If it is too concentrated, someone must be oppressed and exploited.
Su Yonglin then ordered all the troops to visit the mountains of gold and silver according to their organization. The instructor would personally explain the origin of the gold and silver and conduct a wave of political education before the battle.
Why didn't you have enough to eat, didn't have enough clothes to wear, and why did you almost starve to death?
Because your money was plundered here.
Who searched for it?
The city's elite.
How to search?
Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
What will these gold and silver be used for after being looted?
For the upper class people to live in a hot house, drink and live in extravagance, hold warm wine, and watch you freeze to death in the wind and snow.
The effect of this wave of pre-battle political education must be very good.
Because Su Yonglin saw many soldiers crying against the pile of gold and silver under the instructor's explanation. They cried heartbreakingly and in great pain.
And looking at the mountains of gold and silver, Su Yonglin finally figured it out.
Being able to get so much money proved that the greed of this group of people was far beyond his imagination. His past life limited his imagination and made him feel that his life was already very rich, but it turned out that he was still rich. It takes more profound malice to figure out the thoughts of those superior people.
They still have a lot of things to offer, and they are far from exhausted.
so.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to use the Jin Kingdom's bureaucracy and let them complete the statistics and then pack them out in boxes than to rob them themselves and then count them?
So under the horrified gaze of the two ministers from the Household Department of the Kingdom of Jin who were in charge of the delivery, Su Yonglin lost his temper with a dark face.
"I want three million taels of gold, why only 1,390,000 taels? Do you want to die?"
Su Yonglin shouted angrily, and Sun Ziyi and Su Yong beside him immediately drew their swords and put them on the necks of the two ministers of household affairs.
The two of them were so frightened that their waists and knees were so weak that they knelt on the ground and trembled.
"General...silver...silver has exceeded the general's needs by a total of three hundred...five hundred and twenty thousand taels..."
It's hard to say anything.
Su Yonglin sneered.
"What I want is gold! Not silver! There are still 1,610,000 taels of gold. If you can't get it, I will go to the city to get it myself."
"I can take it! I can take it! I can take it!"
In order to prevent Su Yonglin from taking action, the two kowtowed repeatedly and asked Su Yonglin for some grace. Su Yonglin "suppressed his anger" and allowed this behavior.
After returning to the city, the two discussed with Pusanhutu for a while and realized that the gold could no longer be collected.
These days, gold is not a currency in circulation. It only exists as a luxury item in the upper class of society and in bulk goods trade. The nobles do hold a lot of gold, but the amount is not unlimited. The amount mined every year is really limited.
Pusanhutu really didn't want to touch the property of the emperor's inner treasury and the direct royal family.
Then, there is only one choice.
With a long sigh, Pusanhutu ordered to search for pearls, jade and antiques from the families of powerful officials and give them to Su Yonglin at a discounted price.
During the second round of looting, the elite army looted the homes of powerful officials, including nearly 2 million taels of gold-priced jewels, jade and antiques, leaving them in tears.
After delivering these pearls and jade antiques to the Liberation Army, Pusanhutu and the civil and military officials thought that their nightmare was over, and they could start negotiating the surrender and everyone's safe return to Liaodong.
But who knows, their nightmare has officially begun.
