Qiming 1158

Chapter 492 Gold 300, Silver 1000
Two million taels of gold and five million taels of silver?

this number……

The messenger was terrified, and tremblingly asked Su Yonglin if he didn't learn mathematics well, so he said 20 and 50 as 200 million and 500 million.

He felt that Su Yonglin would not make such outrageous demands.

Su Yonglin's face immediately changed, and he was furious.

"You want to deceive me that I don't know how to count? How can 20 be the same as 200 million? If you don't get gold and silver, you will destroy and slaughter the city! Starting from the rich and powerful!"

Indistinguishable, Su Yonglin immediately drove the envoy out of the barracks.

When the news was brought back to the inner city, the whole dynasty was shocked, surprised by Su Yonglin's lion's big mouth, and also terrified by Su Yonglin's severe threat of "slaying the city from the powerful".

Some people began to complain about Pusan ​​Hutu's behavior of handing over horses and weapons to Su Yonglin. They felt that this was stupid. It made it difficult for the soldiers in the city to fight for a long time, and they had no bargaining power in the face of Su Yonglin's request.

They scolded Pusanhutu as a national traitor, and made Jinting so dangerous with one hand, and asked the Empress Dowager Shan and the new emperor to punish him for his sins.

The servants are scattered and angry and angry.

"What's the difference between the massacre at that time and the massacre now? You can depose me and convict me, but when the thieves invade the city and the knife cuts to your neck, don't call out!"

The ministers were speechless.

They knew that what Pusanhutu said was right, and also knew that everything Pusanhutu did was their tacit consent. Naturally, no one wanted to compete with Pusanhutu for power at this time.

At this time, what is the difference between vying for power with Pusan ​​Hutu and arguing over who goes to the guillotine first?
So Pu Sanhutu was able to continue to preside over the overall situation, but he didn't think he could find 200 million taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver in the mere inner city.

Although there are many corrupt officials in the city, and there are countless wealthy and powerful families, it is impossible to scrape them all out to make up this number or even more.

How could he possibly do something to his colleagues who are also high-ranking officials?

After doing all the calculations, he felt that even if he sold the entire inner city, he wouldn't be able to raise that much money, so he could only send someone to negotiate with Su Yonglin to see if he could reduce the amount of payment.

Without a word, Su Yonglin beheaded the messenger who came to bargain, sent his head back, and told them - there is no room for bargaining, if you don't give money, attack the city!

The bloody head shocked the people in the city, and the frightened servants immediately stepped up their efforts to collect gold and silver from the entire inner city, expressing that those who donate enough gold and silver can get rich rewards, such as officials and titles. Category.

Yes, this guy does not hesitate to use official positions and titles as bait in order to make people willing to give gold and silver.

I have to say that this condition is very attractive. Although the Restoration Army is outside the city now, the official position and titles are very appealing, so some people with a lot of money but relatively low status decide to pay for officials and titles to improve their status. .

With this hand, within five days, Pu Sanhutu got 7 taels of gold and more than 30 taels of silver.

But this amount was a drop in the bucket compared to what Su Yonglin asked for.

Pu Sanhutu also asked the dignitaries, high-ranking officials and the royal family to pay money to help the country tide over the difficulties, but there are indeed relatively few people who are willing to help the country tide over the difficulties, and one or two are hiding and unwilling to pay. In a few days, only 11 taels of gold and 43 taels of silver were collected.

Wanyan Liang went to war and made the treasury very empty, but he still had his own inner treasury where he kept private money, and there was a lot of gold and silver there.

But Pusanhutu didn't plan to use it, and planned to keep the bottom of the press box in case of emergency, and now it is still mainly for external search.

Voluntary has reached the limit, and the task is far from being completed. After thinking about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and continued to send someone to ask Su Yonglin to reduce the number of gold and silver, but Su Yonglin refused.

Feeling that these guys won't produce oil without pressure, so Su Yonglin decisively attacked the city.

The Restoration Army pressed on and attacked fiercely. Although some of the defenders on the inner city walls were brave and dared to fight, more were afraid to escape and did not dare to continue fighting.

However, after half a day, the inner city fell, and the Restoration Army took control of the inner city wall, but it didn't go any further—Su Yonglin ordered all the armies to occupy the city wall and control the city wall on the spot, not to go deep into the inner city.

But using this as a deterrent has already frightened the dignitaries and officials in the inner city. The rulers of the Jin Kingdom were completely frightened and sent people to beg Su Yonglin for surrender, begging Su Yonglin not to slaughter the city.

"I want gold and silver. Will I wait to give it to you? Beg for a surrender now? Okay, 300 million taels of gold and 1000 million taels of silver. One tael less, and I'll make your blood flow like rivers!"

The envoy of the Jin Kingdom was terrified, and begged Su Yonglin to reduce the number, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get so much money by smashing the pot and selling iron.

Su Yonglin looked down at the envoy of Jin who was kneeling on the ground.

"The inner city is already owned by me, the imperial city can be taken down at any moment, I just care about the face of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom and don't start killing people, please don't make the mistake of thinking that I dare not attack the city, if you don't bring it to me, I will Just get it yourself! Understand?"

The envoy of the Jin Kingdom shuddered and kowtowed, expressing his understanding.

This time, in order to prevent the people of Jin Kingdom from continuing to argue, Su Yonglin sent a five-member team headed by Jiang Yu, the former Boye City instructor, to enter the Imperial City of Jin Kingdom. From then on, all decrees of Jin Kingdom must be ordered by the five-member team before they can be executed.

Su Yonglin officially took over the Jin Guo regime.

And all the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to resist.

Although only five people entered the imperial city, the civil and military officials did not dare to resist these five people in the slightest, and respectfully handed over their power and obeyed their orders.

After Jiang Yu took over the government affairs of the inner city under the order of Su Yonglin, he directly ordered the looting of gold and silver in the whole city.

Gold is 300 million and silver is 1000 million. Both are indispensable. This amount must be reached, otherwise, don't blame them for being ruthless.

So Pusan ​​Hutu finally made up his mind to dispatch a fine army from house to house in the inner city to search for valuables such as gold, silver, pearls and jade.

This is equivalent to robbing.

After the Restoration Army besieged the city, those who could live in the inner city were actually considered to be people with certain skills and family business. Most people could only live in the outer city and could not enter the inner city, so they also had a lot of connections with officials and powerful people. tie relationship.

Therefore, the poor ghosts are all in the outer city, and the inner city is already full of rich people, and the closer people are to the imperial city, the richer they are.

The raiding troops broke into their homes and looted gold, silver, pearls and jade without a word, robbed property, and even beat up their family members, which was a huge shame and threat to them.

They immediately found officials related to them and tried to put pressure on Pusanhutu.

But they didn't know that the officials they were relying on were also unable to protect themselves. They were struggling to survive under the deterrence of Jiang Yu and other five-person teams, and they did not dare to resist in the slightest.

Protesting is pointless.

Jiang Yu and the other five ordered the city to loot gold and silver, and ordered Jin Guo officials to deliver all the important household registration, storage, and administrative documents stored in the Jin Guo official office to their station for inspection by themselves.

This was what Su Yonglin had instructed, asking them to have a basic understanding of Zhongdu City in a short period of time, so as to lay the foundation for the Liberation Army to enter the Middle Capital City in the future.

If nothing else, Su Yonglin intends to place the capital of the future nation-building in Zhongdu City.

After a certain expansion and renovation of Zhongdu City, this is a very good capital.

In this era, Guanzhong's environment has deteriorated, and its demographic and geographical advantages are no longer available. Xi'an and Luoyang can no longer assume the responsibilities of the capital.

Not to mention Kaifeng, there is no danger to defend the Pingchuan, and there is a danger of the Yellow River flooding, which is not within Su Yonglin's consideration.

Although Lin'an and Nanjing are geographically dependent on the rich and densely populated Jiangnan region, they are extremely unfavorable to Su Yonglin's future northward expansion strategy and have no strategic advantage.

Zhongdu is located in Yanyun, with the dangers of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains in the northwest, Yuguan in the northeast, the Great Wall, and the Grand Canal in the south. It is of great significance for Su Yonglin to restore production in the Central Plains and manage Liaodong, grassland and Western Regions in the future.

Therefore, Zhongdu must do everything possible to preserve it to avoid large-scale destruction, and at the same time... squeeze all the wealth that can be squeezed out from the hands of the Jin Guo dignitaries to lay the economic foundation for a series of subsequent actions.

Therefore, under the strict supervision of the Restoration Army and the five-member team, Pusan ​​Kutu and the fine army smoothly transformed from the guards guarding the royal family of the Jin Kingdom to the evil spirits who poisoned their compatriots.

They looted a lot of gold and silver, and robbed one of the residents in the inner city. The efficiency was extremely high, even comparable to the efficiency of the Restoration Army when it was clearing the fields in Hebei.

Two days later, the first wave of searches ended successfully.

PU Sanhutu commanded the Xi army to seize a total of 21 taels of gold and 7 million taels of silver. Adding the previous acquisitions, the total was 32 taels of gold and 240 million taels of silver.

The harvest is still quite large.
