Hiding money, or treasure, has always been a special art throughout the ages.
The hidden money mentioned here refers to the wealth kept at home in addition to the money stored in the bank.
Let's take ordinary people as an example. They like to put money in a broken shoe or an inconspicuous jar. This method is relatively primitive.
Petty bourgeoisie families are more formal. They like to put them under the bed or in the mezzanine of the wall. If there is an emergency, they will take them out for emergency use.
But when you reach the level of a senior official, it's completely different. Let's put it this way, if you don't invest in a secret place to hide money, you are not qualified to be an official.
For example, when he was in the capital, Zhang Chengdong, the Minister of War, hid one hundred thousand silver in the tomb of his deceased concubine. He did it without anyone noticing, which was an eye-opener for Qi Yu.
However, in front of King Yong, these are all just little witches.
Today, Qi Dalang gained some knowledge and realized what a superior way to hide money is.
Let’s see:
In the courtyard of the palace, there is an artificial fish pond about five feet long and five feet wide, and in the middle of the pond stands an exquisite small rockery. What is unexpected is that this rockery is actually the entrance to the small vault where he hides his money.
If he didn't already know the reason at the moment, who would have thought of this?
The Shi brothers lived up to their trust and were keenly aware of the strangeness. They did not pay attention to any rules and regulations, and smashed open the secret door three times.
After Qi Yu thanked him, he leaned in and just glanced around before being stunned by the scene...
drink!
There are about fifty boxes of these golden lumps. If each box is estimated at five hundred kilograms, it would weigh at least twenty-five thousand kilograms.
That’s a lot!
Someone may have asked, is King Yong's net worth a bit ridiculous?
No!
From Qi Yu's point of view, it was completely reasonable.
It is said in the officialdom that after three years of clearing the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver were paid. The prefect's family is so rich, let alone Prince Yong who does special business?
"My lord, you really did not disappoint me. Such wealth is not in vain for me to raise an army and mobilize people."
"On behalf of the people of Qiongzhou, I sincerely thank you..."
Qi Yu looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart. He kept taking deep breaths to calm down his inner excitement.
Harry interjected: "Master Qi, now is not the time to sigh. In my opinion, we should deal with business as soon as possible."
Business?
Why don't you just say you divide the spoils?
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him, calmly took out a small notebook from his arms, and then started calculating with a marker.
According to the previous agreement, the two parties divided the spoils based on the number of points and reached a consensus.
There were no objections to the first and second games, both sides agreed, but there was some criticism in the third game.
In this battle, both sides
Everyone worked hard, but in the end, it was Qi Yu who won it single-handedly. Therefore, this credit cannot be attributed to Harry.
this……
Harry seemed a little dissatisfied: If he didn't get any merit, wouldn't my people's death be in vain?
Qi Yu spread his hands and said: There is no way, the rules are the rules, now that they are set, no one can complain.
All right!
I admit it.
In fact, this account was easy to calculate, and the results were obtained quickly.
The two finally scored, Mr. Qi had 85 credits, while Mr. Ha still had the original 15 credits.
Such a big difference?
No way, rules are rules.
Harry even felt that it would be more cost-effective to let the government troops get involved. Even if he didn't get too many points, at least there would be fewer casualties on his side...
However, his melancholy only lasted for a moment, and was immediately dissipated by the golden light.
Faced with such great wealth, what else is there to be sad about?
Although it only accounts for 15%, it is still a huge amount of wealth. Even if many people die, it is still worth it!
Don’t Chinese people often say that wealth can be found in danger?
There’s nothing wrong with that!
"Ahem, Master Ha, do we want to share this gold now?" Qi Yu said with a generous face.
Harry was about to agree, but after thinking about it for a while, he came back to his senses: He was now a mere commander, so how could he possibly be able to keep this wealth? He might have just left his front foot, and his back foot would be cut off to meet God. Besides, I don’t have a big ship to transport it.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be generous and said: "There's no rush to divide the money. It's better to wait until we get to Qiongzhou."
When I arrived in Qiongzhou, I had an extra guarantee.
Feel at ease!
Qi Yu's eyes flashed, he nodded and smiled: "In that case, I will keep it for Brother Ha for a while."
"Thank you, Master Qi."
"You're welcome……"
In fact, Harry was quite frustrated. Looking at these fine gold bricks, he didn't dare to take one away. After all, he was still afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on to it.
Out of your depth?
That’s pretty much what it means!
It's like, after a lot of effort, you finally got a stunning beauty. Just when you were about to use your dick to do something serious, you found that your hardware couldn't keep up.
Alas!
God, you are so bullshit!
Although Qi Yu comforted him verbally, as soon as he walked out of the treasure cave door, he laughed like a villain.
Not long after, Fu Xian's inventory results came out.
I saw it written above:
A total of more than 300 enemy muskets, more than 30 damaged but repairable artillery pieces, and more than 10,000 bows, crossbows, knives and halberds were seized. In addition, there are more than 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder, more than 20,000 stones of miscellaneous grains, some cloth and medicinal materials...
Great harvest!
Then, Fu Xian
Then he asked for instructions: "Sir, what should I do with these belongings, money and food?"
Nonsense, of course I keep it for myself!
Isn’t it possible to leave it to the provincial government to take credit?
"Let's do this. All the collected materials, together with these gold bricks, are immediately loaded onto our big treasure ship. Then, under the escort of the frigate, they are transported back to Qiongzhou overnight, and then handed over to Tan Junyan for placement. The gunboats will be used to escort the transportation personally. , it should be safe." Qi Yu ordered.
"Leaving overnight? In such a hurry?" Fu Xian was puzzled.
"There is no way, we can't be negligent!" Qi Yu sighed quietly, and then explained: "In less than two days, Gao Zhongde's army will return, and by then, won't our seizures have to be confiscated? Even if If we don’t confiscate it, it’s not cost-effective to share it with him!”
"Oh... I understand!"
When Qi Yu heard this, he showed a teachable smile and even praised Fu Xian for his good understanding, which can be understood at a glance.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Fu Xian say again: "Master Qi, what should we do with the prisoners we captured?"
cough!
Yes, when you are only thinking about money, why do you forget about people?
Qi Yu returned to his seat and asked, "Tell me first, what kind of people were captured?"
"Sir, among the prisoners, there are more than twenty people from our great service, and in addition, there are more than thirty bare-haired ghosts." Fu Xian explained.
Uh-huh?
What the hell is a yellow-haired ghost?
Oh, I understand, it should refer to people from the Franco Kingdom.
Haha, after fighting for so long, I didn't discover their existence until now. It was obvious that these people were using the Chinese as cannon fodder for the war, but they themselves were hiding behind them.
What's more interesting is that when the situation was unfavorable, their steel brother Yong Wang actually left them and ran away. This friendship is really strong!
Working together!
These Francois, who are always aloof, must have enslaved our Chinese people. Their crimes are too numerous to describe, including enjoying the full set of the ten ancient tortures.
However, Qi Yu still pardoned them: "These ghosts are all our God of Wealth. Their worth is equal to gold. We must not let them die."
“Are these people’s lives valuable?”
"Of course, they are all nobles! Let's do this. You take them to Qiongzhou first, and then put them in prison. I will have another use for them in the future."
As for its purpose, he didn't say clearly.
The boss didn't say anything, so Fu Xian was naturally embarrassed to ask more questions, so he followed the order and arranged it.
However, before he left, Qi Yu suddenly added one more thing: Well, remember to take Miss Yin Taoyin away with you, and let Tan Junyan help arrange it when you get to Qiongzhou. Also, don’t let your wife know about this.
Um?
Hiding it from Madam?
All right!
Fu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of understanding.
