After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 606: Suppressing Bandits and Making Money, Treasury [5]

"Warehouse No. 1, ten tiger skins, thirty-two bear skins, one hundred wolf skins, one hundred and thirty fox skins..."

"Warehouse No. 1, thirty sets of full armor, fifty breastplates, fifty bows, five hundred arrows, thirty crossbows, two hundred crossbow arrows, eighty spears, one hundred and twenty-two broadswords, thirty pairs of axes, one hundred short swords..."

Uncle Qin was recording accounts and reporting to the military clerk at the same time.

The soldiers almost went crazy when they heard this.

The usually steady Dai Qianhu couldn't help but tremble his fingers... The ancestors of these bandits are actually so rich. The things seized from the first warehouse alone are enough for the Liang family army to replace a batch of equipment.

However, this is not over yet.

Uncle Qin and the others continued to report: "A hundred-year-old wild ginseng..."

"What the hell? Wild ginseng, hundreds of years old, is this true?!" Dai Qianhu couldn't help but rushed over to see the wild ginseng, and hurriedly said, "Call military doctor Zheng, quickly!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers hurried to find Doctor Zheng.

Doctor Zheng was bandaging the wounded soldiers when he heard that the bandits had seized a hundred-year-old wild ginseng from the warehouse. He rushed over and said, "Wild ginseng, where is the hundred-year-old wild ginseng? Let me see it!"

"Here, here, look!" Dai Qianhu quickly and carefully handed the box of wild ginseng to Military Doctor Zheng.

Doctor Zheng took it carefully, sat down, and slowly opened the box. He carefully examined the wild ginseng inside the box, smelled it again and again, and made Dai Qianhu so anxious that he wanted to scold him. Then he choked up and said, "It is indeed wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old."

“Hurry and keep it away. Don’t let the medicinal aroma dissipate. We have to send it to the capital!” Dai Qianhu immediately found a place for the century-old wild ginseng.

Your Majesty and Duke Yan are both in poor health and need this kind of good thing to nourish their bodies and prolong their lives.

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to keep it safe." Doctor Zheng quickly closed the box.

He found a bigger box, filled it with cotton wool and some medicinal material crumbs, and then put the box of wild ginseng in it. He handed it to Dai Qianhu: "Dai Qianhu, here you go."

"Yes." Dai Qianhu took the box, called his confidants, and ordered a team of them to guard the wild ginseng. He didn't need to do anything else.

But if they lose this wild ginseng, they will die!

After finishing the wild ginseng work, Uncle Qin and the others continued to report what they had copied: "Da Yong Qianshanzi's Snow Mountain Sunshine Painting, an authentic painting!"

Fearing that Dai Qianhu didn't understand the value of this original work, Uncle Qin added, "Dai Qianhu, sell it to a scholar from a wealthy family. It can fetch at least 100,000 taels of silver!"

Dai Qianhu was shocked: "One hundred thousand taels? That's outrageous. Why are his paintings so expensive?!"

Uncle Qin explained: "Qian Shanzi's paintings are expensive because he had to go to a remote place in person every time he painted, so it was difficult for him to produce paintings, and very few of his paintings have survived. He was also the Emperor of Dayong, but because he really loved painting, he abdicated the throne to his younger brother and became a Taoist priest. He was regarded by scholars as the most virtuous person in Dayong. Some people even built temples for him and offered incense. So his paintings are expensive."

He added: "This is a small amount. If we hold a night banquet in the capital and let the nobles bid for it, it might be able to fetch 30,000 gold."

Thirty thousand gold is equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver. How many Northwest Army soldiers can be supported with that?

Dai Qianhu was so excited that he almost cried, and hurriedly said: "Look at these calligraphy and paintings carefully. If you damage any corner, I will skin you alive!"

Then he said to Uncle Qin, "Mr. Qin is well-informed and can even recognize famous paintings like this. Then he should recognize more and see if there are any other authentic works of famous artists in the warehouse... We will definitely not treat the Qin and Jiang families unfairly."

What this means is that you concentrate on finding the treasure, and we will share the spoils with your family.

Uncle Qin was delighted and immediately promised: "Don't worry, Dai Qianhu, I will do my best to do my job and will never let a famous painting slip away from under my nose!"

"Okay, I'll leave everything to Mr. Qin." Dai Qianhu made a solemn request and waited eagerly. In fact, he finally received three more paintings with his name on them and six unique books.

"How much are these worth?" Dai Qianhu didn't understand calligraphy and painting and only cared about the price.

Uncle Qin held out five palms and said, "It can be sold for 50,000 gold even if it's sold at a low price."

"Fifty thousand gold!" Dai Qianhu's heart was pounding. Fortunately, he was a warrior with a strong body, otherwise he would have fainted by now. "It's too valuable. No wonder the aristocratic families like to train one or two children to be masters of calligraphy and painting."

It turns out that after training, you can raise an army just by drawing a few pictures!

Otherwise, I would like to give General Liang a suggestion to recruit a group of soldiers from the army and teach them to paint so that they can sell paintings to support the army in the future?

"Keep it safe, protect it well, and don't let these ancestors get into trouble!"

These are all the military supplies for the soldiers!

"Yes." Captain Tang responded and specially dispatched two small flags of soldiers to guard the calligraphy and paintings.

In addition to these things, the warehouse also seized several boxes of pearls, more than a dozen boxes of precious medicinal materials, precious porcelain, precious tea cakes, and precious animal skeletons.

In the elders' residence, buried gold, silver, banknotes, and ginseng about thirty years old were also found.

Some ginseng was still soaked in the cup and not finished.

Dai Qianhu cursed: "You bastards, you're using 30-year-old ginseng to make tea. General Liang didn't even get this treatment, but a bunch of old bandits who have done so many evil things are enjoying it first. Confiscate all of it!"

"Captain Dai, there is a floor tile here that is made of yellow jade. It is worth a hundred taels of silver. Dig it up and take it away." Uncle Qin reminded.

Dai Qianhu: "Paving the ground with jade is really showing off. If they can't die, dig them away!"

The soldiers immediately pried up the topaz floor tiles.

After lifting it up, there was a new discovery: "Master Qianhu, there is a white jade box underneath."

"Be careful, it may be poisonous. Take it outside, hold it with a spear, and open it from a distance." Dai Qianhu instructed.

"Yeah." The soldier did as he was told.

Unfortunately, there is nothing valuable inside, but...

"A pill to help with pleasure." Doctor Zheng said.

"Bah, you old beast, you are still harming girls at your age!" Dai Qianhu cursed and asked the victims who were abducted to the village: "How are they? Have you settled down?"

Captain Tang said, "All those who were rescued have been properly placed. They are being interrogated in batches to prevent any of them from being the daughters of the bandits pretending to be victims, or people who are on the side of the bandits."

"The mountain girls have been handed over to the mountain folks for care. The mountain folks are very grateful to us, but several of the mountain girls have been tortured to the point of insanity. Some mountain brothers were so angry that they wanted to kill the bandits, but were stopped by our people."

Dai Qianhu said: "Don't we have a hundred survivors? Give them ten bandits and let them vent their anger. It doesn't matter if they kill them!"

The bandits did not treat the captured women as human beings. Most of them were treated like pigs without even giving them any clothes.

A small number of beautiful ones were divided up by the bosses of each hall, the elders, and the useful bandits... Those who were favored could have clothes to wear, but they would be exchanged and served by the bandits, and their situation was miserable.

What's even more unscrupulous is that... the bandit camp only wants males, so they will train the boys they give birth to to become new bandits, while the girls will follow their mothers' old path.

Dai Qianhu was heartbroken and disgusted, and could not hold it in any longer, so he ordered: "Drag out the bandits alive one by one, and beat them with 20 military sticks, just don't beat them to death!"

"Yes." Captain Tang took the order and did it.

Uncle Qin said, "Captain Dai, we have finished searching the private vaults of the Council of Elders. It is time to search the private vaults of other halls."

After hearing this, Dai Qianhu's depressed mood became clear again, and he said, "Let's go to open the Hongtang private storehouse!"

The boss of Hongtang: "..."

boom!

"What the hell is that expression on your face? Are you still not convinced? If I didn't think you were of some use, I would have skinned you alive with my knife for all the beastly things you did!"
