Arriving at Fanyang Neiku, Zhou Jun was shocked by the mountains of wealth for the first time in his life, and was so shocked that he cursed.
Before An Lushan's rebellion, a palace was built in the inner city of Fanyang. It was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The bottom floor was underground, and the middle and upper floors were exposed above the ground. The combined area of the three floors was close to 20,000
Square meters were used to store the goods plundered by the Yan army from Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.
Whenever the Yan army arrived, they would send soldiers to search for gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and light goods, and then transport them back to Fan Yang in a fleet and hide them in the treasure house.
Zhou Jun had originally read similar records in history books and had a rough idea of the quantity of goods in Fanyang City. However, after actually entering the treasure house, he realized that his guess was still too conservative.
All the most valuable belongings in Hebei Province, Henan Province, Hedong Province, Duji Province, and Gyeonggi Province in the Tang Dynasty were plundered and then gathered in a palace. What kind of scene would it be like?
An ocean-like amount of wealth was piled upward from the ground, reaching a ceiling of more than ten meters high.
Looking around, there are priceless treasures everywhere, as far as the eye can see.
The main hall for storing goods like this has a total of three floors, and each floor is full of storage, with no empty space at all.
It is worth mentioning that An Lushan was greedy and treacherous. When he built the treasure house, he deliberately placed many traps and traps in the treasure house in order to prevent others from getting access to the property.
If someone from the Yan army had not led the way, the Tang army would have entered the treasure house unprepared, and there would have been many casualties.
After handing over the arduous task of counting the property to the military officers and princes, Zhou Jun returned to the meeting hall of Fan Yang Prefecture.
In the meeting hall, hundreds of officials and family members of the Yan State were detained by the Tang army. Among them were Shi Siming's wife Xin, his youngest son Shi Chaoqing, etc.
General Cai Xide of Fan Yang was seriously injured in the explosion and had difficulty moving. He was carried to the palace by Tang soldiers. He first looked around at the families of Yan State officials, then looked at Zhou Jun who was sitting in the seat, and said in a weak voice: "Commander, earlier you
I once promised..."
Zhou Jun lowered his head and looked at Cai Xide, whose face was full of uneasiness.
Zhou Jun said in a deep voice: "I once promised to allow the families of officials in Fanyang City to leave, and I will naturally keep my promise."
Cai Xide breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Zhou Jun: "Officials and their families are free to come and go, but all their belongings must be left behind... In addition, the people in Fanyang City, as well as the captured soldiers, are all recorded as official slaves."
When Cai Xide heard this, he froze on the spot and said with all his strength: "At the beginning, the commander-in-chief never said that he would make Fan Yang's soldiers and civilians official slaves!"
Zhou Jun glanced at Cai Xide: "What did I say?"
Cai Xide: "The commander-in-chief said at that time that Qiu would never commit any crime against the people of Fanyang, and he would never kill Fanyang's soldiers!"
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "The people of Fanyang City, after being registered as official slaves of the Tang Dynasty, can keep their private property, and the Tang army will not get involved; as long as the soldiers of Fanyang army lay down their weapons and surrender to the Tang army, they will not be wantonly slaughtered.
Let me ask you, have I ever broken a promise?"
When Cai Xide heard this, he was shocked. He immediately realized that he had fallen into Zhou Jun's words, and quickly asked: "What is the commander's intention to make Fan Yang's people and sergeants official slaves?"
Zhou Jun waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with you. Tell those officials and family members that if you want to leave Fan Yang, you can leave now. I will never stop you. If you are worried about encountering danger on the way, I can also send troops to escort you."
After the Yan officials and their families in the hall left, Zhou Jun ordered the people of Fanyang to pack up their belongings and leave their homes to prepare to march westward with the army. As for the surrendered soldiers of the Hebei Army, their hands were tied with knots and connected two by two.
Accompanying the prisoner camp.
Some people in Fanyang refused to leave their homeland, so the Tang army demolished their houses and burned their crops, forcing them to follow the army.
If someone escaped along the way, the Tang army would kill the escapee and drag his body behind the horse as a warning to others.
At this point, the 67,000 civilians in Fanyang City, plus 11,000 captured soldiers, totaling nearly 80,000 people, moved westward from Hebei.
Fanyang City has also transformed from a city into a military town where a large army is stationed.
During the relocation of residents, the inventory of Fan Yang's treasure house also came to an end.
According to the report from the official, the value of the entire Fanyang treasure house may be roughly estimated to be 86 million guan.
What is the concept of eighty-six million strings?
Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the total annual tax revenue was approximately twelve million guan.
And this Fanyang treasure house can be worth the taxes of the Tang Dynasty for seven years, and there is even a surplus.
Moreover, there are a large number of calligraphy, paintings, utensils, and handicrafts in the treasure house, which cannot be accurately valued and can only be temporarily not recorded.
In other words, the actual value of this treasure house may have exceeded 100 million yuan.
While dealing with Fan Yang's immigration and treasure trove inventory, Zhou Jun issued two more orders.
First, Li Siye was ordered to lead 6,000 Anxi troops and 120 tiger squatting guns to rush to Boling City to aid Pugu Huaien who was fighting Shi Siming and Li Guiren.
Second, the Tang army held a feast in Fanyang City to entertain the tribes from all over the country who came to the aid of the Tang army during the siege of Fanyang.
On the day of the banquet, Zhou Jun had a good time with the leaders of the Huihe, Xi tribe, Tongluo, and Bayegu tribes, and gave many valuable gifts on the spot. He also ordered that any tribe that had helped the Tang army should be punished within three years.
, when you come to Datang Mutual Market, you will be exempted from the city tax of 20% and the customs clearance fee for crossing Tianjin.
As soon as these words came out, the leaders of each tribe were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude.
During the banquet, Zhou Jun specifically found Hedari, the crown prince of the Huihe tribe, and pulled him aside to talk alone.
Zhou Jun asked Hedari: "How much damage has been done to the Huihe Jingqi that came this time?"
When Hedari heard this, he sighed and said, "Twenty-three hundred tribesmen died."
Zhou Jun: "This time the Tang army attacked Fan Yang. Without the support of the Huihe tribe, I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed. In this way, in addition to the cloud tea that I promised to the Huihe Khan before, every leader this time has
As a gift, I will send some goods to the Huihe tribe, which should be regarded as a little compensation for those Huihe people who died in the war."

Zhou Jun said a number, and Hedari was stunned on the spot.
After a while, Hedari said hesitantly: "Zhou Erlang, did you give...a little too much?"
Zhou Jun looked at the straightforward Prince Huihe in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
According to historical records, the Uighur prince Hedari once led four thousand Uighur elite cavalry to the aid of Guo Ziyi's tribe and helped the latter regain Chang'an.
However, all four thousand Huihe Jingqi were lost in the battle with the Yan army.
Hedari returned to the Uighur tribe alone, hoping to mobilize more cavalry to assist the Tang army.
Seeing the heavy losses, the Uighur nobles were dissatisfied with the prince. At this time, Hedari's younger brother, Tulishi's second son, moved to another place. Taking advantage of his father's absence, he took the opportunity to stir up trouble, prompting the nobles to express their dissatisfaction with Hedari.
He launched an attack and killed the latter in the chaos.
When the Uighur Khan Tulishi came back, the prince Hedari was already dead. The nobles were all recommending Shidi Jian as the prince. The Uighur Khan had no choice but to make his second son the prince.
Unlike the honest and honest Hedari, Yidijian was cunning and scheming. He had long coveted the land of the Central Plains. After Tulishi's death, he sent troops south several times to become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Jun, who is familiar with history, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, can only try to stabilize the Huihe people and reduce the possibility of such a tragedy before returning to Hedari to resume his life.
After Fan Yang handled the political and military affairs, Zhou Jun finally embarked on his way home to Liangzhou.
Before leaving, Li Guangbi was appointed as the defender of Fanyang City, commanding the Shuofang Army, Anxi Army and Beiting Army. As for Guo Ziyi, Zhou Jun took him with him and rushed back to Liangzhou City together.
