Qi Xiuyuan stood up in surprise holding the gold nugget, "The bottom of the lake? Qin Fang threw the gold and silver at the bottom of the lake, and the money from the treasury..."

"I haven't had time to ask someone to go down to check," Qi Haoran said: "I went to patronize a few children at that time."

Qi Xiuyuan sat back in the chair, tightened the gold nugget in his hand and said, "I remember that your lake is very big, if you just find a place to throw it down, it may be difficult to find it again."

"A Ling found it by the side of the lotus. The box was deep in the mud. If it wasn't for A Ling who wanted to throw me out and bounce me into the mud, I probably wouldn't have found the box underneath." And I told about the accidental discovery of the box, saying: "At that time, Ah Ling said that she only touched one box, and because of too much force, that box broke. People go down and see."

"Brother," Qi Haoran lowered his voice and said, "I don't think this matter should be made public for the time being. We will secretly pick up the things and put them directly in your private treasury. If the national treasury needs to be used, then you can just borrow it from the private treasury. Anyway, the national treasury It is not once or twice to borrow your private treasury."

Qi Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, "You mean to hide it from everyone and let them continue to search for the gold and silver left by Qin Fang?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "Everyone knows that Qin Fang emptied Dazhou before leaving, and our Daqi is just an empty shelf, it all depends on the three of us moving here and there. If it is reported that we have found the treasury money, the people below People may go from frugality to luxury, and it may make Xixia and Dajin more wary of us, and the relationship between our three countries has just eased."

Da Qi is poor, and the quality of soldiers is close to that of Xixia Dazhou. If Da Qi becomes rich, what about the quality of soldiers?

This is undoubtedly a danger to Dajin and Xixia, and the current situation of the three kingdoms may be broken.

Xixia and Dajin stared at Daqi, but the two countries also coveted each other and fought a big war fiercely, so the three countries are temporarily maintaining stability. Although there are small conflicts on the border, they are not big. In order not to anger each other , All restrain soldiers not to kill as much as possible.

Although Qi Haoran is a general, he doesn't want a war, at least not before Da Qi is ready.

Qi Xiuyuan also quickly figured out the joints, he said: "Alright, let someone salvage it quietly, don't make a fuss about it."

Qi Haoran was distressed, "Where can I find someone who is reliable and good at swimming?"

He is not in the capital all year round, where can he find these people?

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I will arrange this matter, you just arrange the servants in the mansion well, don't let them notice."

Qi Xiuyuan quickly sent 20 people to Qi Haoran, and if there were more people, there would be a lot of noise.

And the servants in the mansion soon received an order that no one was allowed to go to the East Lake, especially the little masters were strictly restricted, as long as they appeared in the Wan Qingxuan, they would be expelled.

The servants accepted the ban as a matter of course. Everyone knew that the prince and concubine were frightened by the five little masters falling into the water before, so it is only natural to ban the lake now.

And soon, it was reported that the princess wanted to pull out the lotus bushes. The young masters jumped into the water just to pick the lotus pods. ,What is the use?

The servants really wanted to tell the concubine that the lotus planted by Prime Minister Qin was for ornamental purposes. Every summer, the lotus bloomed one after another, and when the red and white contrasted each other, it was as beautiful as a fairyland. Back then, Prime Minister Qin spent a lot of money on planting this kind of lotus.

But no one rushed to say such things to Mu Yangling when she was furious.

But at this time Mu Yangling also said distressedly: "Did you really pull out all these lotus?"

"Only pluck some," Qi Haoran said, "They are here to fish for gold, not really to pluck lotuses, but it's not good if they don't pluck them at all, and they can't deceive people."

"Then I'll ask someone to ask who buys this kind of lotus. We sell it to them. I heard that this kind of lotus can be worth a lot of money. Ten knots of lotus root are worth one tael of silver. I asked the master who tends the flowers and plants. It is now the beginning of autumn, this kind of lotus root can be transplanted, we sell it cheaper, and it can be sold for a tael of silver on the fifteenth day, let me declare first, this money belongs to us and does not belong to the state treasury."

Qi Haoran refused to accept it and said, "Why do we have to sell it for fifteen taels of silver? Just sell it for ten taels of silver."

Mu Yangling twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "We have too many products, and the other party will definitely lower the price."

Qi Haoran snorted coldly, "Who dares to lower the price of the master? All right, don't worry about this matter, let Zhu Liang handle it. The master just took a look. There are two or three small lotus roots under a lotus tree. Delicious, but also too small."

Mu Yangling laughed and said, "This lotus is for ornamental purposes, and it doesn't produce lotus roots. I'll ask people to plant meat lotus roots after my anger subsides. I can harvest a lot of lotus roots every winter."

Qi Haoran nodded.

While the two were talking, people who sank in the water came up one after another and reported: "My lord, my concubine, there are many boxes along the line of lotus bushes. I opened them and found that they are full of gold and silver, including the treasury. official seals, as well as privately minted gold and silver."

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling looked at each other, "It seems that there are not only the treasury money here, but also the money he was greedy for before."

Now the national treasury is full. One must know that Qin Fang is as rich as a country. At the beginning they found a batch in the garden. The amount was quite large, but it was far from enough compared to his embezzlement. Except for the money he spent for pleasure, it must be There is still a lot of money left.

Qi Haoran ordered: "Immediately ask someone to put on a rope and pull it up."

Qin Fang obviously calculated that nearly one-half of the east side of the East Lake is planted with lotus, and along the line where the lotus bushes meet the lake surface, the boxes are thrown about 20 meters from the shore, and the depth there is about 20 meters. Reached seven or eight meters.

But the lotus bushes that are one meter away are only three or four meters away. Obviously, Qin Fang had calculated it when the East Lake was excavated.

Not to mention that these ornamental lotus bushes are not cleaned up, even if someone pulls these lotuses, they will not find the sunken boxes next to them, because they are covered by mud, and there is still a depth of three or four meters in the middle. The child dived into the water, and Mu Yangling was bounced into the mud by the momentum by accident. I am afraid that these boxes will never be found in his life.

Who would have thought that Qin Fang would throw money in the lake?

It's even more perverted than him making gold into floor tiles, isn't it?

Twenty people worked hard for almost a month before all the boxes were pulled up, and then they were transported out under the pretext of transporting the load.

There is no way, there are too many things, and the water is too deep, and the water pressure is also strong. They will be tired from working back and forth. Qi Haoran doesn't want to cause death because of this, so he always works for two hours and rests for one hour, and stops working when it gets dark

But the speed of the twenty people is not slow, a lot of boxes were pulled up in a month, and at first they were excited when they opened it and saw the golden and blinding gold inside, but after a month, everyone became numb, and then deeply felt Qin Fang's greed, This money is the fat of the people.
