Everyone has curiosity, and Changsheng is no exception. I eagerly want to continue to check, but it is already dawn, and Ashan is a poor county, and there is nothing decent underground. I can only temporarily restrain my curiosity and plan. The horse went north and rushed to Shuzhou.
Changsheng came out mainly to do two things. Since the first thing was done relatively smoothly, he was not in a hurry when he rushed to Shuzhou. He rushed to Weixi County in the north of Ashan County at around nine o'clock in the morning. He wanted to go to Weixi County in the morning. Eat something and get some sleep, but Weixi County is also very poor, so poor that there is not even a decent inn in the entire county.
He had no choice but to leave Yezhou and continue heading north. However, the entire Central Guizhou Road was a poor place. He couldn't get used to the smells from some restaurants and shops he saw along the way, let alone eat them, until the afternoon. We had just left Qianzhong Road and entered Shannan East Road before finding an inn, eating something simple, then lying on the bed and taking a nap.
When he woke up, it was already dark. Changsheng rolled over and sat up. After washing, he rode on the road. There was also a city wall in the county. He directly penetrated the spiritual energy and rode his horse to jump over it.
The Turtle Treasure was only effective at night. After nightfall, Changsheng once again saw all kinds of light in the underground. Most of them were scattered copper coins, and there were very few gold and silver items. They were not as ubiquitous as he had imagined.
Most Taoist priests understand Kanyu Feng Shui, and Changsheng is no exception. When he was in Longhu Mountain, he once took a miscellaneous course, and Kanyu Feng Shui falls into the category of miscellaneous studies.
If you understand Feng Shui, you can naturally look at the shady house and know which place is a treasure of Feng Shui. If you see a place with good Feng Shui along the way, ride a horse and go there to check it out. Most of the places with good Feng Shui have tombs, because Taoist priests have followed the same set of rules for thousands of years. Method, so most places with good feng shui have more than one dead person buried.
Although he could not see the specific conditions inside the tombs, Changsheng could tell from the light emitted by the small amount of gold and silver artifacts remaining in the ground that most of these ancient tombs had been stolen, and in those that had not been stolen, the burial artifacts inside were also a bit less.
The reason for this phenomenon is also very simple. Different dynasties have different funeral customs. Some dynasties advocate thick burials, while others advocate thin burials. Don’t underestimate the tomb robbers of the past dynasties. Many tomb robbers are proficient in Kanyu Feng Shui. Learned people and Taoist priests can see where the geomantic treasures are, and they can also see that they bury in front and dig in the back. The direct consequence is that although countless people have died over thousands of years, the ancient tombs that have not been robbed are rare.
Of course, many royal tombs and large tombs have survived, but Changsheng only carries the turtle treasure with him and can only see the light within nine feet underground. Those royal tombs and large tombs are often buried deep underground or hidden in the mountains. The earth and stone were not more than nine feet long, and Changsheng was unwilling to embed the turtle treasure under his skin and flesh, so he could not see the light emitted by the valuables in the royal tomb.
Changsheng spent the whole night checking around, and quickly concluded a rule, that is, there are very few valuables underground in the wilderness. On the contrary, there is more light gas around the city. Most of the cellars of wealthy families have cellars, but These things belong to their owners and cannot be snatched from their homes.
This turtle treasure is indeed a treasure. If you have this thing with you, you will never have to worry about money. However, there is not much gold and silver buried underground. Using the turtle treasure to find property is more than enough to meet personal needs, but it is not enough to protect the court. Huge expenses.
Changsheng came to the river at the fourth watch. What he didn't expect was that there was a lot of gold and silver in the water. Over the past thousands of years, the rivers had overflowed, destroyed houses, flooded fields, and sunk countless ships. However, a lot of gold and silver had accumulated in the rivers. But the water flow is fast and it is not easy to salvage. Taiping Taoist is an old bastard. He can go into the water to salvage, but ordinary people cannot.
Changsheng extended his pure yin aura, rode his horse on the waves, and flowed down the river. There was indeed a lot of property in the water, but how to salvage it was a problem.
At dawn, Changsheng finally arrived in Shuzhou. The soldiers at the gate of the government office recognized him and immediately opened the door to welcome him when he arrived.
Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were both in the house. They were not outsiders and there was no need for polite greetings. The three brothers directly dismissed the idlers and talked in secret.
"Where's Senior Brother?" Changsheng asked casually.
"He is grazing cows in the woods east of the city," Chen Liqiu said with a smile. "You have found a living for him. You just built a shack in the woods and guarded the cows you gave him every day."
"I'll go see him." Changsheng stood up.
Li Zhongyong raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "Go ahead and talk about business first."
After hearing Li Zhongyong's words, Changsheng sat down again, sorted out his thoughts, and thought about where to start.
"Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles," Chen Liqiu said with a smile, "We already know what happened in the court. We can also guess why you came."
Seeing Changsheng frowning and saying nothing, Li Zhongyong said harmoniously, "Lao Wu, you don't have to think too much, take it from the people and use it for the people. This is not doing evil, but doing good. Don't worry, we will put the things inside as soon as possible." Move out to subsidize the imperial court.”
Hearing what Li Zhongyong said, Changsheng felt a little less stressed, "I should have handled this myself..."
Before Changsheng could finish speaking, Chen Liqiu waved his hand and interrupted him, "Don't say it's useless. If you could really get away, you wouldn't come to us. Besides, you don't know the locations of those ancient tombs. "
"This move is likely to leave an eternal infamy." Changsheng said.
"Haha," Chen Liqiu said with a smile, "You can't stop your children from breastfeeding just because they scold you."
Seeing that Changsheng was still worried, Chen Liqiu said again, "Okay, don't cry and look sad. To be fair, the emperor is quite good now. At least he is tolerant. Now he is almost out of food. Let's help him if we can." Bundle."
"I really had no choice but to make this decision." Changsheng said.
"You don't need to explain it to us, we know it," Li Zhongyong said, "but you have to be mentally prepared. The burial objects in those ancient tombs are very mixed, and there are not many gold, silver, pearls and jade."
"Whatever you can get together," Changsheng said, "What the third senior brother said just now is right. The imperial court really has no money to eat. All the money in the household department was stolen by Sun Ru and Zhu Quanzhong."
"It is true that blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone," Chen Liqiu asked casually, "By the way, there are rumors that the emperor was imprisoned by a Japanese witch. Are the rumors true?"
Changsheng nodded.
"What are the details?" Chen Liqiu asked curiously.
"To be honest, I don't know," Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "He was imprisoned for more than a month and was almost scared to death. Besides, I have no nerve to ask about such a shameful thing. In short, he was faked. Not only was the treasury emptied out, but the government affairs of the court were also turned into a mess."
"Do you think you can still be saved?" Chen Liqiu asked again.
Changsheng knew what Chen Liqiu was referring to, but was speechless.
Chen Liqiu changed into a comfortable sitting position and put his right leg on the wooden table beside the teacup. "What's your uncle's attitude?"
"Do your best and obey fate." Changsheng replied.
"Okay," Chen Liqiu sighed, "We owe him a favor from Longhu Mountain. He doesn't want to give up, so we can't say anything. We will move the things out and send them to Chang'an as soon as possible."
Changsheng didn't know how to answer the question, so he could only nodded.
Chen Liqiu continued, "You heard what I said. You have to be mentally prepared. There is not much gold and silver in those ancient tombs, especially silver. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was not used as money at all. Even if we will know Even if all the ancient tombs are evacuated, they will definitely not be able to plug this big hole that the imperial court is short of."
Hearing Chen Liqiu's words, Changsheng took out the red turtle treasure from his arms, "This thing is called turtle treasure. It is a symbiotic thing created by a thousand-year-old turtle when it condensed its inner elixir. It is very magical. You can carry it with you at night." You can see the treasure.”
Chen Liqiu was very curious when he heard this. He reached out to take it and looked at it intently.
Changsheng took the opportunity to inform the two of them about the specific uses of the turtle treasure in detail, including the fact that there was a lot of gold and silver in the river. Next, he had to rush to Hebei Road to continue searching for the earthly branches. The hard work of raising money for the court could only be entrusted to others. To several of my senior brothers.
"This is a good thing, so why would the mangy turtle be willing to give it to you?" Chen Liqiu said with a smile.
General Changsheng explained the details of how he got this thing in a concise and concise manner, then shook his head in embarrassment, "Although that old turtle is a strange species, he is quite loyal. I can't bear to think about it, but I can't bear it. There is really no other way. We are in a lean period right now, and if we cannot raise money to help the victims or subsidize military supplies, the Tang Dynasty will fall in less than three months."
"You're not planning on it," Chen Liqiu said. "It can't protect this thing. Staying with it will sooner or later lead to death."
Changsheng did not answer Chen Liqiu's words, but returned to the subject, "I already said hello to the Ministry of Revenue when I left. When you transport the things to Chang'an, there will be someone from the Ministry of Revenue to receive them."
Chen Liqiu was looking at the turtle treasure and did not answer. Li Zhongyong nodded and said, "Before, you asked us to send people to the beach to secretly observe the movements of Japanese pirates. During this period, no Japanese pirate ships were seen entering the port. We also sent people to other places and saw no trace of Japanese pirates."
Hearing Li Zhongyong's words, Changsheng felt a little relieved. He finally lured the Japanese pirates away and bought some time. Such a big change happened in the court, and the hard-earned time was wasted. Fortunately, the Japanese pirates haven't come back yet, so he There's still some time.
"I'll have someone prepare breakfast." Li Zhongyong stood up.
"No need, Second Senior Brother, I'm not hungry," Chang Sheng also stood up, "I'm going to see Senior Brother."
"Let's go, let's go together." Chen Liqiu put away the turtle treasure and stood up with his arms raised.
The three of them went out and headed east together.
"Does Senior Brother like that Fire Qilin?" Changsheng asked casually.
"It's more than just what I like," Chen Liqiu said, "The boss is almost considering it as his father's gift. You really shouldn't get him such a thing."
"Why?" Changsheng tilted his head and looked at Chen Liqiu.
"He likes that cow so much. If someone beats him to death one day, the boss will go crazy..."
