Iron Dynasty

The lights flickered in the dimly lit secret room, and Lu Fei and the others looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.

In front of them, there were piles of gold and silver, and there were countless copper coins, and many of the ropes that wore the copper coins had even rotted.

Just at this glance, Lu Fei can be sure that the silver in front of him is at least six million taels, but in Sima Ying's mouth, these are not all.

Lu Fei, I've really made a fortune now. These two months are worth it. It's worth it. Luo Xin patted Lu Fei's shoulder excitedly and laughed.

Lu Fei was stunned, and the saliva almost stayed.

He said to the generals beside him: You all give me a lot of attention, if you lose a coin or two, be careful that Laozi will pull your skins, you all have the most advanced rifles, and most of the soldiers are still using old-fashioned rifles. A musket, with the money they can use it.

Yes, Commander. The generals shouted loudly.

After instructing a group of generals, Lu Fei and Luo Xin continued to follow Sima Ying to other secret rooms.

To their surprise, there are also a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and other things hidden in these secret rooms.

However, this is only the warehouse where gold and silver are stored in the palace of the King of Chu.

Then everyone followed Sima Ying to the granary in the city.

A huge amount of grain is stored here, and the grain warehouse is connected to cotton, cloth, fur, etc. as materials for tax collection. In addition, they went to see the property of the seized noble family.

After inspecting all the supplies in Lin'an City, Lu Fei took a deep breath, and he said to Luo Xin, This time it's really a big profit. With these provisions, we can station in Lin'an and continue to go south to fight against the parliamentary army.

Luo Xin nodded in agreement, he said: In this case, we will quickly count the materials and transport the seized property to Qingzhou. Now the court is short of money everywhere.

Also, the wealth seized from the nobles of Chu in the past two months has been transported together. Now the soldiers are all waiting to be equipped with falcon rifles, and this grenade is simply a weapon to conquer the trenches. Now Sima Hao will be able to use the trenches. Fighting, it can be seen that the Merchant Council is very knowledgeable about this kind of warfare, and it is inevitable. 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 Niuben who arrived.

Only gold and silver are 47 million taels, other shops, houses, fields, workshops, grain, silk and other items are equivalent to 890 million taels of silver! Niu Ben's eyes almost glared out.

Old general, this is only an approximate figure, and we are still counting the details. It was said that the wealth of the Cao family in the Great Yu Kingdom was equivalent to hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Now it seems that what they said is true. too rich.

Compared with Niu Ben, Luo Quan was a lot more indifferent. He said, Chu has been operating for more than 300 years since its founding. If there is no such wealth, then it's really gone.

Niu Ben took a deep breath and said, The gold and silver will be sorted and shipped to Qingzhou immediately. Silk, porcelain, cloth, excess grain, copper, iron and the like should also be shipped there as soon as possible.

Yes, General. Lu Fei and Luo Xin responded.

At this time, 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 it will soon be able to restore prosperity. When merchants bring steam engines to build workshops here, it is estimated that this place will soon be here. It will be able to become a major business center in Yuguo.”

Niu Ben was noncommittal about this issue. Compared to the north, which was harassed and looted by 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 warm climate in the south is suitable for rice cultivation, and the water network is dense. As long as it settles down, the grain can be recovered in one season.

...

Fuzhou, which used to be the land directly under the royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom, but for hundreds of years the state of Chu has been exerting influence on it all the time. After the rebellion of the vassal kings, Fuzhou was named the land of the royal family, but it was secretly attributed to the king of Chu.

However, after the army of the merchant council arrived, it soon became a paradise for the merchant council.

At this time, Cao Kun personally came to the dock in Fuzhou. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a merchant ship with the word Cao entering the dock.

After the ship arrived at the dock, Cao Kun immediately asked the soldiers to escort the people on the ship down.

Earl Kerry, I said I won't let you down. Standing beside Cao Kun was an Englishman, who was the Earl of Kerry who was in charge of the British East India Company.

On Cao Kun's right hand side stood Brazil Lei and Richard, their eyes were fervently watching the six people who got off the boat.

Cao Kun, we didn't see you wrong. Kerry glanced at Cao Kun with admiration, and at the same time with disgust at Baishi Le and Li Cha, making no secret of their disgust for the two of them.

Now in the North American Colonial War, they had an absolute advantage at the beginning, but the French stepped in at this time, and they chose to support the colony's dirt.

Although they have been dug up by the French in America, they have the same interests in the Great Yu Kingdom.

The French did not want to lose their East Indochina Commonwealth, and they did not want to lose their British India, Malacca and Australia.

And the failure of the northern nomads and the Japanese made them more vigilant, especially since the mercenaries also brought new shells used by the navy of the Great Yu Kingdom.

They paid a hefty £300,000 for this damn shell.

But in his opinion, the effort was worth it, and the precise structure of the shells amazed their officers.

Because of this, they decided to focus on collecting the technology and talents of the Great Yu Kingdom, causing chaos to become the second place.

Today, after giving the Merchant Council a lot of support, they finally got what they dreamed of.

Count Kerry, we French people have to choose first. Brazil Lei said unceremoniously, the sea is too dangerous, this time Kerry arrived in Fuzhou from the inland through their East India Federation, Kerry had no choice.

Shrugging, Kerry kept a smile on his face, but he greeted all the French women in his heart, Of course, we will keep our promises, but you'd better keep our promises, or I promise that none of your ships in France will be able to. back to Europe.

Brazil Lei's face changed, he snorted and walked straight to the six people who got off the boat. After looking at them, he chose three who looked stronger.

Kerry breathed a sigh of relief, he understood Brazil's thoughts, and he was probably worried that the frail people would not be able to survive the drifting at sea.

But he didn't care, because the British warships were much better equipped than the French.
