Whether the losses can be recovered this time depends on Dong Zhuo¡¯s financial situation.
Liu Ke opened the first warehouse, which was full of copper coins, stacked together, which was very shocking.
But after counting, it was only worth 300,000 gold.
After all, Dong Zhuo had to spend money to raise an army.
To be honest, Liu Ke was a little disappointed and continued to rush to the second warehouse.
This time, I finally encountered a gold bar, which was estimated to be around one million gold.
Still unsatisfactory.
Looking at the mess of gold bars and copper coins, Liu Ke felt that the currency needed to be reformed.
They all look like crooked melons and cracked dates.
Next are various treasures of varying values, mostly antique jewelry.
"Isn't Dong Zhuo too poor?" Liu Ke couldn't help complaining. After spending so much energy, could this be the only gain?
Chen Gong was also a little embarrassed. In fact, he was looking forward to it very much. He calculated that there should be tens of millions of gold, but the result was estimated to be about three million.
The wealth of the entire Sizhou is unexpected, including the country of Luoyang.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of which Liu Ke mobilized his troops, was nothing more than a plain foundation. As for the elimination of Dong Zhuo, he only gained a little fame, and the majority was taken away by Cao Cao.
The biggest gain is probably Dong Zhuo¡¯s book collection. He didn¡¯t have much education, but his book collection was very rich.
Most of them are bamboo slips, and some pre-Qin characters are included.
Liu Ke looked at it and asked Chen Gong to pack it up and study it slowly. Books represent the inheritance of culture. Chen Gong did not dare to neglect, not to mention that after the books were printed, they could be sold at a good price and continue to make money.
"Call Dong Min here, I won't believe it." Liu Kedao.
If Dong Zhuo is really that poor, Liu Ke can only admit that he is unlucky.
Dong Min was brought here soon. He had lived in Xiwu for a long time and was very familiar with this place.
Some treasures were escorted and put into the treasury by Dong Min himself.
"Please also ask Dongyang Hou to remember his promise!" Dong Min said,
After getting Liu Ke¡¯s affirmative reply, Dong Min opened the door to the secret room.
The secret room is very dull and the light is a little dim.
There¡¯s nothing special inside, it¡¯s all oxidized gold bricks. Ancient technology was not particularly developed, and there would be various impurities in the gold bricks, causing the gold to be dull in color.
Liu Ke knows that if gold is mixed with some brass, the color will be brighter, and it can be manipulated when the time comes.
He felt that he was already very conscientious, after all, the people had no need for gold at all.
Historically, after Liu Bei entered Shu and was in poverty, Liu Ba suggested that he re-cast copper coins. One copper coin turned into dozens of coins to plunder the people's wealth. At that time, Shuzhong was really miserable, and the economy had been in recession for decades.
Of course Liu Ke would not do such a thing, but gold can still be manipulated.
Dong Min opened secret rooms one after another, and Liu Ke and others were dazzled.
All kinds of treasures combined must be worth 50 million gold.
"This is already all the wealth." Dong Min cupped his hands and said, neither sad nor happy.
For a dying person, money is just an external possession.
Liu Ke nodded, but he was fascinated by a large tripod. This was one of the legendary Nine Cauldrons, Dong Zhuo's most important collection.
The Nine Tripods symbolize royal power and the prosperity of the country. If ordinary princes got it, they would definitely brag about it, but Liu Ke didn't think it was necessary.
?Perhaps it can be used to seek greater benefits.
After all, Liu Ke¡¯s current identity is still a clan member of the Han Dynasty, not the emperor, and it is easy for others to criticize him for retaining Jiuding.
So, Liu Ke made a bold decision to sell the tripod to Cao Cao.
Most of the wealth in Chang'an City is concentrated in Xiwu, but Dong Zhuo's subordinates are also very rich.
They burned, killed, and looted, and were lawless. The wealth they gathered was probably more than Dong Zhuo, at least one million gold.
"Just sell it to Cao Cao for two million gold!" Liu Kedao said.
The corner of Chen Gong's mouth twitched, and his expression was a little unnatural. The master is really cruel. Cao Cao has gained a little, but he still needs to be chopped down.
But Cao Cao will definitely be happy and grateful to Liu Ke, who has a man who can serve the emperor.
The next step is to load the truck. Transporting all the wealth away is a huge project.
YangzhouLoading goods non-stop, the carriage is not enough. For this reason, Liu Ke also asked Cao Cao to borrow a carriage.
"Why are you so polite, Marquis Dongyang? I will immediately send someone to recruit a carriage." Cao Cao said generously.
Liu Ke took the opportunity to sell his cauldron, and Cao Cao was indeed interested. He gritted his teeth and paid two million gold. His wallet shrank suddenly before it was warm.
This is Jiuding!
Afterwards, Liu Ke left with a thousand conscripted carriages.
Xi Zhicai couldn't help but said to Cao Cao: "My Lord, looking at the appearance of Dongyang Marquis, you can definitely negotiate the price. After all, he dedicated the Jiuding to His Majesty through your hands."
Cao Cao's face darkened. He was so excited that he forgot about this incident. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Of course I know, but the Marquis of Dongyang contributed the most when he conquered Dong Zhuo's army. I can't ignore the benefits, right? "
Xi Zhicai had nothing to say. It can be said that Chang'an picked it up for nothing.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
It happened that Guo Jia was not satisfied either and said: "My lord, you should let me negotiate. Maybe I can earn him another million."
"It's always happy to be content, Cao Cao is not a fool." Liu Ke shook his head.
With these one thousand carts, all the gold and silver treasures were finally filled.
"I will use all this money for the development of Yangzhou, so no one is allowed to touch a single gold coin!" Liu Kedao.
Wealth touches people's hearts, but Liu Ke doesn't want to take action against his own people, so he can only give repeated advice.
As the saying goes, it is better to clear things up than to block them. Liu Ke asked everyone to participate in loading the goods and let them eliminate the greed in their hearts. Liu Ke even placed one million gold in the middle for them to observe without sending anyone to guard it.
For seven days, not a single gold brick was lost.
Liu Ke then realized that after Charisma +2, he could help others resist greed.
Otherwise, no explanation will make sense.
The discipline of the Yangzhou Army once again refreshed Dong Min's understanding.
There is no shame in losing to a team like this!
The convoy passed through Hangu Pass in a mighty manner, causing Cao Cao's army to marvel.
How much did you gain from this?
This incident even alarmed Cao Cao, who brought his trusted followers to experience it personally.
So much wealth is really exciting!
"My Lord, it's better not to think nonsense, Yangzhou's 100,000 cavalry are already waiting on the border." Xi Zhicai joked.
"I'm sure I'm excited, but if our army gets Sizhou, no amount of wealth can buy it." Cao Cao said.
At this time, Xi Zhi felt relieved. He was really afraid that if Cao Cao couldn't think about it, he would be in trouble.
After passing Hangu Pass, Liu Ke released Dong Zhuo's family as agreed. Everyone in Chang'an was shouting for beatings. By doing this, they had already exhausted their benevolence and righteousness. As for where they go, it's none of Liu Ke's business.
It is Liu Ke¡¯s mission to bring the convoy back to Yangzhou safely. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
