But the Qi Dynasty had just been established, and it didn't stop doing nothing just because of the Qianlong Army's actions.
A few days later, Yu Wenji, the prime minister of the Qi Dynasty, ordered that all the Qianlong Army's properties deposited in banks in Weiyang and other places be frozen.
As the main force trained by Lu Yu, the Qianlong Army only received a small part of its military salary from the imperial court, while the vast majority was provided by Lu Yu himself.
When Lu Yu took charge of the Zuojun Mansion, he had already received Pei Tianguang's advice to secretly control several key industries.
In the entire thirty-six stars of Zuojun Mansion, Lu Yu has a firm grasp on the medicinal materials, spiritual minerals, iron ore and other industries.
Among these stars, there are countless villages and sects that are actually secretly delivering money to Lu Yu.
As for Lu Yu, he has already mastered the spiritual veins, and coupled with the adventures he encountered in his early years, he has accumulated wealth that is as rich as any country.
It was with such objective property that Lu Yu was able to cultivate a strong enough army.
According to the specifications, the configuration of the Qianlong Legion is undoubtedly the most powerful among the Dayu imperial court and various local armies.
The elixirs, exercises, magic weapons, and armor were all equipped according to the best standards. Even from the generals down to every soldier, the military pay given out was higher than that of the main army of the imperial court.
Such generous benefits naturally attract many strong people to join.
Especially after Shen Linglong lost the Human Emperor Sword, many strong men who were originally loyal to the imperial army came to join the Qianlong Army.
Suddenly, there were many talented people in the Qianlong Army, and there were as many as 19 large legions with more than 500,000 people.
This has surpassed the establishment of the local army and has become a behemoth, and can even challenge the two great dynasties of Tang and Qi at the same time.
To run such a behemoth, money is naturally necessary.
Qianlongjun keeps a large amount of silver money in banks all over the country. This is also for the convenience of exchange and circulation. Only one banknote is needed to make turnover in business in various places.
Unexpectedly, the Qi Dynasty would do something so extraordinary and openly freeze their money.
This move caused an uproar in the entire heaven.
"It turns out that none of the money in the bank belongs to us. Whether we can withdraw it depends on King Qi's expression."
"If we accidentally offend King Qi one day, will we lose all our money?"
Many wealthy people transferred their money from banks. Suddenly, the five major banks controlled by King Qi suffered heavy losses, and there was an endless stream of people coming to exchange for spiritual stones every day.
No matter how hard the people at the bank tried to explain, the wealthy people always turned a deaf ear and stubbornly transferred the money out.
The five major banks were forced to seek help from Qi Emperor Zhou Jingtang.
"I can't give them even a single spiritual stone of the Qianlong Army's money. These people are just rebellious officials and traitors. Even Lu Yu is dead. They are still stubbornly resisting. They simply don't know how to live or die. They should be severely punished!"
Emperor Qi made a speech and stated that he would be at odds with Qianlong's army.
"What a joke! Do you really think that our Qianlong Army is short of money?"
Pei Tianguang responded domineeringly, saying that the Qianlong Army did not lack the money at all.
Even at the end of the year, all the Qianlong Army officers received additional rewards, and their morale was extremely high.
Although Lu Yu is not here now, he left Pei Tianguang with a very strong team before he left.
With these foundations, Pei Tianguang is enough to deal with the Qi Dynasty for a long time.
