The reunion with Ji Zichang lasted until quite late that day. Ji Zichang patted Li Guanyi on the shoulder. In the end, he no longer called him friend or brother, but just said:

"The changes in the world depend on you and me. What happened in the academy is just the beginning."

"The road ahead is long, please take care of yourself."

"The next time we meet will be a month later, during the autumn hunt."

After Li Guanyi and Ji Zichang said goodbye, they returned to the place where their troops temporarily lived. After accepting Ji Zichang's gift, they were faced with a huge problem——

How to get this property worth at least 30 million taels of silver out of that mausoleum and then transport it back to the distant Eighteenth Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River is not an ordinary thing.

After Li Guanyi pondered this matter, he found Wen He.

Let’s briefly talk about this matter.

Wen He pondered, nodded seriously, and then asked:

"Can you dig out the people buried underneath?!"

The corner of Li Guanyi's mouth twitched. When he accepted Ji Zichang's kindness, he just felt Ji Zichang's determination and the courage to do such a thing as a descendant of the Red Emperor line. Accepting other people's ancestors' sacrifices, Li Guan

I still have some obstacles in my heart.

But now, he discovered that compared to himself and Ji Zichang, Wen He's moral bottom line was too subtle.

Wen He said: "My lord, you probably didn't inform Ling Jun about this, right?"

Li Guanyi grinned and replied: "If I tell him, he will twist my head off."

Even if he couldn't beat him, Wen Lingjun would be so angry that he would go berserk.

In Wen Lingjun's eyes, even if Ji Zichang took the initiative to do such a thing, as a minister and a common people, he should firmly reject it, so Li Guanyi would never be able to negotiate with him.

Wen He nodded: "My lord knows Lingjun very well."

Li Guan said: "Besides, wouldn't it be more secure if I have the handle in my hands, sir?"

Wen He paused and looked at Li Guanyi, with a smile on his simple face.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

Li Guanyi accepted Ji Zichang's kindness, but speaking out about this kind of thing would be a major matter that would ruin his reputation. Telling Wen He about this matter would be equivalent to Wen He having access to Li Guanyi's handle.

For him, who puts his own interests first, this is a relief.

Wen He smiled and said: "My lord also knows me very well."

"My lord only has 50,000 soldiers, but he is good at generals and counselors."

"Okay, let's see how much is inside..."

Li Guanyi took Wen He there. After Wen He thought deeply, he replied: "It can be sold for fifty million taels."

Li Guanyi was surprised, a little puzzled, and asked: "How come, Brother Chang Wen was born in the royal family, and he has some judgment on the value of these things."

Wen He said: "Brother Chang Wen you are talking about should be His Majesty the Great Emperor. His Majesty the Great Emperor grew up in the clan, and the things he used were all high-quality royal objects. He was well-informed, so he was estimating the value of these treasures.

The field is naturally great."

"It's a pity that he knows gold and silver, but he doesn't understand people's hearts."

"Sold for only 30 million taels of gold and silver utensils worth 30 million taels, it is a loss-making business."

"Just the word "royal" can be exchanged for 20 million taels with a little movement."

"It just so happens that I need something that can make families fight against each other."

Wen He said: "Don't worry, my lord, if you take out so many things in one go, they will be worthless. Only by taking them one by one and in a steady stream can you get the maximum benefit."

Wen He counted the gold, silver and jade articles and said, "Not bad, not bad."

"There are more than I expected. Many of them are lost treasures. Nowadays, aristocratic families are proud of collecting royal tributes. My lord, have you ever heard of the strategy of "Two peaches kill three nobles"?"

Li Guanyi looked at Wen He who was smiling gently.

He felt a trace of pity in his heart for the aristocratic families in the eighteen states in the south of the Yangtze River.

How pitiful that he has to deal with Mr. Wen He.

After taking inventory, we returned to the place where we temporarily stayed. Wen He personally took care of it and spent a lot of time with Li Guanyi to bring back all the gold and silver artifacts. There were some twists and turns in the process. He came and went frequently, and it was inevitable that people would

Discover.

Wenhe made a plan to take advantage of the time when Chen and Ying were recruiting talents.

Li Guanyi was asked to chat casually with the students in the academy on the table, while he went away making noises in the east and attacking in the west.

"Using the Lord as bait, my plan will work."

"Lord, this move will benefit the world!"

There was a sincere smile on Wen He's simple face: "I'm going to have tea with the ladies from the aristocratic families. Please don't waste the face you got from your parents and the Murong family.

"

The corner of Li Guanyi's mouth twitched: "Huh???"

"I don't quite understand what sir said."

Wen He said concisely and concisely: "Beauty trap."

"Beauty is not your face, my lord. Although this face is indeed worth eating for free, no matter how poor the Qilin Army and Tiance Mansion are, they cannot let you exchange it for money."

"Of course, mainly I think your mouth won't be able to get the jewelry money from the ladies and ladies. You won't be able to eat this soft food."

"Um???"

"Um???!!"

Li Guanyi covered up his embarrassment and drank tea, then suddenly realized something and stared at Wen He: "Madam?!"

What did you do?!

Wen He's expression did not change: "A gentleman is poor."

"A gentleman follows the Tao."

"But occasionally, for the sake of survival, you can't help but do things that go against your true intentions."

"It's just a pity that drinking tea can bring you a lot of silver. Master, you shouldn't be able to do it."

Wen He seemed to be really sorry: "The jewelry boxes of those ladies and ladies can actually be exchanged for a lot of money. If you get the jewelry of these ladies, you can actually sell it to these ladies and ladies at a higher price."

pursuer."

"Don't say ten times the price, let's say a hundred times the price. The young masters from those aristocratic families are also very happy with it, and you can also get their hands on it, and you can do many things easily."

"Their bottom line is not that difficult to break through, and they are at a high position. They are simply the most perfect..."

Wen He paused and said with a smile: "I just teased you, but it was just a joke."

"I just heard it from a friend of mine."

Li Guanyi grinned.

Decided not to explore the past of his swordsman and penman.

Perhaps due to comparison, he felt that at this moment, his moral level was so high that he was scared. Mr. Wenhe said: "So, the beauty I call is not you as an individual."

"Rather, it is Kaifu Yitong Sansi, commander-in-chief of the Qilin Army, Qin Wuhou Li Guanyi."

"The general trend and possibility you represent are the beauty for the aristocratic family, and your contact with the aristocratic family is like a tiger moving. Ying Guo and Chen Guo will not ignore you, and in this way, I can safely

Get the money out."

Wenhe's strategy was successful.

Li Guanyi easily attracted the attention of Chen Guo and Ying Guo.

Wenhe was able to work out the large amount of gold and silver little by little and hid it in the place where the Qilin Army was serving porridge. People were coming and going there, and the Qilin Army was guarding it, but no one noticed it.

After Wen He counted the harvest, he told Wen Lingjun that it was a gift from His Majesty the Great Emperor, and because the white jade talisman in Li Guanyi's hand was obviously a royal item, Wen Lingjun did not recognize that this item was a symbol to open the royal palace.

I reluctantly accepted the things from the tombs.

The gentleman said frankly: "My lord is not Wenhe, so he will not deceive me."

Li Guanyi felt that his moral bottom line was being lowered.

Li Guanyi would not doubt Wen Lingjun's character. After counting with Wen He, he reported to Li Guan: "There are many, and many of them have the imprint of the royal family."

"The pure gold and silver among them is worth 10 to 20 million taels of silver, and more than 10 million taels of silver. Even if the state uses gold, iron, grain and grass to deduct taxes, it can be regarded as one-third of the annual tax revenue."

"For a large country with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, one-third of the annual tax revenue will be generated."

"There is no need to support the royal family or distribute it to aristocratic families."

"Rather, all the money is invested in a place thousands of miles away. I think all the things my lord had conceived before can be successful. It's just that these gold and silver cannot be transported back to the south of the Yangtze River right now. The general trend of the world is about to change, and gold and silver are heavy. It is easy to

Discovered."

Wen Lingjun explained the current situation to Li Guanyi. When he spoke, he spoke slowly and gently, without any hurry or hurry. His sleeves carried a light fragrance like cedar in winter. He pointed at the table with his finger and said:

"A country's four months' tax revenue needs to be protected by a thousand cavalry, which is far from enough."
