Chapter 1065: I am good at robbing families.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong had no such idea. They were originally from a background of robbing families. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, their skills no longer had a foothold. They heard that the city was clearing out gold and silver treasures, so they stayed overnight Went into town and didn't even sleep.
If this were within the Tang Dynasty, where would one go to find such an occasion? If you dare to launch an army to rob, someone will report it to Li Shimin immediately. I don’t know what kind of crime they will be punished for, but this is Fusang now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place outside the law.
For the people here, they cannot be regarded as our people at all. Although you will be under our rule in the future, before you join, we must clean you up and down, and we cannot let you have it. Too much wealth. If we have too much wealth, what should we do if we rebel?
"What are you talking about? Your family didn't take all these people away to me. If you can't come up with 3,000 yuan tomorrow morning, then I will kill all three children. I'll look at you then. Whether there is or not.”
Cheng Yaojin liked this kind of thing the most, so he led his people to search the house of an official, and only found a few thousand dollars. This was simply impossible. There must be places we didn't find. , so Cheng Yaojin took away the three boys at home, who are also the only children in the family. If you don’t have money, I will threaten you with these people and see if you have money in the end.
"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me. These are the only children in our family. Our family really has no money. Everything is here. If you want to deceive the eldest man, let all of us They were all struck to death by lightning, and we really have no money..."
Cheng Yaojin led the people to withdraw. He had to give them some room to perform. The cries of these people came from behind. In Cheng Yaojin's view, these people just didn't cry without seeing the coffin. He really thought Don't I dare to kill someone? You have been an official for so many years, and you are considered to be a wealthy local family in Fusang. With only such a small amount of money, you cannot even keep up with the wealth of ordinary landowners. How is this possible?
Originally, when other people searched the house, if they couldn't find any money at home, they would remain silent. However, after seeing Cheng Yaojin's method, these people also seized one or two from each house. Individuals, and extremely important people in their families, see if they can bring out their hidden assets. This can be considered learning and using them at the same time.
At dawn, the entire city was cleaned up, and all kinds of gold and silver treasures were placed on the dock. I didn't expect that Fukuoka was so rich, almost as rich as the average wealthy county in the Tang Dynasty.
"I thought that little Fusang was very poor, and the annual tax revenue was only a fraction of ours, but I didn't expect that it would generate so much money. The initial estimate was more than 1.5 million yuan. "
Ding Tu said with some surprise. He just asked his men to do a little inventory. Many things have not been counted yet, but this has already surprised them. Many things are all gold.
"It's strange to say, how can such a small place have so much gold and silver?"
Hearing what Ding Tu said, Cheng Yaojin immediately became suspicious. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, it was normal for some large cities to have such things, but in ordinary counties, they would never be available. Yes, how can it be possible that this place is richer than ours?
Neither of them can answer this question. If Li Xiang were here, then this question would be easily answered. In ancient society, Fuso has always been the main place for mining precious metals, so they have more precious metals than those on the mainland. of gold and silverware.
Another is that all coastal cities have maritime trade. Although the objects of trade are not very far away, they are much more developed than inland cities. If we talk about the wealth of the entire city, what they have found is just It's just a part of it, and more of it is hidden.
For example, the wealth that Mr. Miyazaki Hayaoaki took away was not a small amount, and he heard that after being occupied for a long time, he had already transferred a large amount. Now this guy has led people into the deep mountains and old forests. Well, if you want to find him, it may not be that easy.
Why…
Ding Tu was too lazy to think about this problem, and waved his hand in the distance, and Watanabe immediately trotted over. Although this guy was an official, when he faced the Tang general, he was almost like facing his elders. Don't dare to delay for a moment.
"When you entered the city just now, you and your men suffered a lot of losses, so take a look around the city. If there are any men of suitable age, add them in and make them listen to you. If there is someone who doesn't If they obey, then drive them to the dock, and we will all take them to the north of Goguryeo, where there is also a large area of cultivated land."
Ding Tu received a letter from King Wu. King Wu had made it very clear in his heart that he must replenish the servant army and expand their size.
In the battle outside the city gate, King Wu saw that our people hardly took any action. They only fired a few cannonballs. The whole war was over. These Fuso people were fighting before and after. Although our losses were not very large, about two hundred people were killed during the clearing operation last night. Although we quickly retaliated, there was no way to resurrect these dead people.
There is a lot of young and strong labor force in this city, which can be used as our troop base.
"Please rest assured, General. After this batch of gold and silver is transported away, I will immediately go to the city to arrest people. If these bastards do not serve the Tang Dynasty, then transport them all to the north of Goguryeo and let them live in the city." It’s a good time to reflect in the cold weather.”
Watanabe's eyes also showed light. You must know that the more people he has, the greater his power. Although many people are arrogant and may not obey his orders, Watanabe has the ability to make these people People are obedient, and if these people are disobedient, Watanabe has a lot of skills to make these people obedient, but they may have some physical disabilities, but this is not within Watanabe's consideration.
