Chapter 133 Money... grain... iron... ships... people, take them all away!

Soon, Li Luo led his personal guards and followed Ji Jiuniang into Han Gong's silver cellar.

There are more than a dozen boxes in a small basement. Each box is sealed and painted. There is a list on the side of each box.

Li Luo saw the first wooden box and said: "One thousand silver cakes are pounded."

Jin Yin Cake? Li Luo used to be a "cultural relic worker". He knew the currencies of ancient East Asian countries and had never heard of "jin Yin Cake".

"Open!" Li Luo ordered his personal guards.

Yan Jun himself opened a wooden box and suddenly a white light filled with light. The strong aura of money suddenly spread. This aura was not a real smell, but a perception deep in his heart.

The silver as big as a square cake was neatly placed together.

Li Luo picked up a piece and started to weigh it. Sure enough, it was about sixteen taels, which was only one pound.

The shape of silver is like a piece of pastry, and weighs one pound, which is really a "jin of silver cake". Judging from the color, the purity is very high, and it should be the second melting.

Moreover, there are no inscriptions on it.

This is definitely not the official currency of any country. Nowadays, the Central Plains use copper coins, paper banknotes, and silver ingots; the Korean Coins use copper coins and silver bottles; Japan uses copper coins, which is mainly "fed money", namely Song coins, Tang coins, and Liao and Jin copper coins.

Ji Jiuniang took the initiative to explain: "Han Gong sold iron in Japan and replaced it with copper coins. But because there were too many copper coins, he used copper coins to buy silver, transported it back and melted it himself, and then made this cake."

Li Luo understood that this "jin of silver cake" was actually melted and cast by Han Gong himself. As a result, he had an iron furnace and a craftsman, and iron blocks could be melted and cast, let alone silver with a lower melting point.

Li Jiuniang said: "A box of silver cakes is exactly one thousand, eighteen thousand taels. There are eight and a half boxes of silver cakes and a box of golden cakes here."

And a box of "gold cakes"?

Li Luo was even more excited. This was gold!

The box of "gold cake" is hidden inside. After opening it, it is shining with golden light and is so luxurious that it makes people feel goosebumps all over their body.

It's the kind of feeling of excitement when facing gold.

"Golden cakes" are only half a box, each smaller, and one per catty, not exactly one thousand. The list says 812 kilograms of gold cakes.

That is more than 13,000 taels of gold. Now one tael of gold is exchanged for eight taels of silver. Then this half box of "gold cake" is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver!

Eight and a half boxes of "silver cakes" plus half boxes of "gold cakes", more than 250,000 taels!

Don't worry, there are three boxes.

Inside are silver ingots, gold and silver jewelry, with inscriptions and even blood stains on it. These are not gold and silver exchanged for Han Gong's latte in Japan, but the property robbed by Han Gong.

It's estimated that the value is tens of thousands of taels.

After doing this, all the gold and silver value came out. It was close to 300,000 taels of silver.

This is simply a huge fortune. The top family like the Li family in Renzhou has an annual investment of 300,000 jin, which is equivalent to only 150,000 taels of silver.

In other words, the pirate's Tibetan silver is almost equivalent to the Li family income for two years.

"Han Gong actually hid so much money... It's really unreasonable." Li Luo couldn't help but say.

Ji Jiuniang said: "This is not Han Gong's personal money. Many of them are registered with pirates, but they are all stored together."

Sure enough, Li Luo also found a list of pirate names, all of which were deposited by someone. However, most of them still belonged to Han Gong.

"Ji Jiuniang, I will never treat you badly. You can go back with me. Shi Yan will send someone to pick you up, and I will leave him an address." Li Luo said.

"Thank you General Li." Ji Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief. At first, she was afraid that Li Luo would be so mean to her, and later she was afraid that Li Luo would kill him to silence her.

Now, she finally felt relieved.

Li Luo made such a fortune and regained his sense of security for the first time.

It is when his personal net worth finally exceeded 100 million, that kind of sense of security.

After spending more than half a year, he finally became a rich man again.

"Calculate all the items and register them, carry the box onto the boat, and you're very careful." Li Luo ordered.

Yan Tong and Ashan took the order out, and called dozens of fellow villagers and carried out more than a dozen wooden boxes.

Next, Li Luo rushed to the mine again.

He saw the iron blocks that had been piled up into a hill. So much iron is of course the crystallization of labor of more than a thousand coolies.

There is also a large-scale smelting workshop.

Wanyan Guangxia came to report: "The camp owner found more than a thousand miners in the mine cave and was locked up inside. Please tell me."

Li Luo thought about the arrangement: "Cross the formation below the mine, and then release the miners."

Guangxia said: "The leader of the camp is wise!"

This is not Guangxia flatters. He felt that the camp owner's arrangement was indeed a big deal, and it was very organized...

It's very simple. There are hundreds of miners, and they are all strong men. Once they are all released, what should I do if I suddenly make trouble?

With the army on guard, they will be honest.

After more than a thousand soldiers gathered at the mine, Li Luo ordered with confidence: "Release all the miners and craftsmen on the mountain, remember not to take the initiative to hurt people. We are the righteous army who came to save them from the fire and fire!"

Soon, the prison door in the mine was opened and teams of ragged miners came down from the mine.

As the sea breeze blew, a sour smell filled the air. Li Luo couldn't help but shut his breath and felt a little disgusting.

It's really too smelly.

The miners quickly understood what was going on. An official army came to save them!

Han Gong and other pirates who killed thousands of swords were all wiped out by these mighty officials in front of them.

OK!

God has eyes!

Soon, the officers and soldiers who rescued them said that their army leader was the young general, the youngest general, named Li. Teams of miners, who couldn't help but kneel down to Li Luo without supervision.

“…General Li is very kind and kind…”

"The General is the rebirth of his parents..."

Li Luo shouted: "You are all the people of the Central Atomic region. They are all pirates. They are so pitiful! Since I heard the reward, I feel very sorry for them."

"But the government has no military order to send troops to sea to relieve the uproar. I can only lead troops to sea without authorization, taking on a big relationship! Fortunately, I finally saved you, even if the court dismissed, it would not be unfair!"

Li Luo went to sea, but it would be far-fetched to say that he went to sea without authorization without authorization.

As for coming specifically to rescue absenteeism, of course it is even more nonsense.

But these absenteeists were originally simple people, and they still had a simple understanding of officials, so of course they were very accustomed to Li Luo's tricks.

General Li actually disobeyed Shangguan's order to rescue them!

It is better to risk dismissal from office than to rescue the people. That is what King Wu Mu did!

As for why the government is unwilling to save them... Is it necessary to say? Now it is the Mongol Yuan court, with Tartars like tigers and marquis like wolfs. It is too late to cause disaster, so how can we save the people?

Suddenly, the absentees' gratitude for Li Luo became even more intense.

Not long after, Li Luo got another surprise. It would be fine if more than 1,300 miners were strong, but there were more than 100 blacksmiths and iron smugglers, as well as dozens of ship craftsmen.

These craftsmen were all captured by Han Gong for some time. They are the technical talents Li Luo is now in need.

Finally, there were more than a dozen sea boats at the seaside port, one of which was actually a warship.

This warship, you can tell at a glance that it once belonged to the main battleship of the Song army's naval division.

"Money, grain, iron, ship, people! Pack all of it and take it away!"

Li Luo said in his heart, trying hard to keep calm on his face, not showing a proud look in front of his subordinates.
