Qiming 1158

Chapter 493 Their nightmare has officially begun

Although Pusan ​​Hutu felt that he had gained a lot, this amount was still far from Su Yonglin's request, and it was still not enough.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that handing over a batch first would also calm Su Yonglin's restless heart and prevent him from threatening to attack at every turn.

So Pusan ​​Hutu dispatched the minister of households to personally escort the gold and silver to the Liberation Army station outside the city, and handed over the money to the Liberation Army.

Unexpectedly, Su Yonglin was very unhappy after asking them how they got the money. He felt that Pusanhutu was perfunctory for him, so he ordered the beheading of the Minister of the Household as a deterrent, and ordered Pusanhutu to immediately report to the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom and hundreds of people. When officials search for gold and silver, they must not make mistakes.

And if he can't get the number he wants within three days, he will invade the imperial city and start killing, starting from the powerful!
Seeing the head of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Pusan ​​Hutu, who was already in a trance, was so frightened that he no longer cared about other things.

Search all the gold and silver in their home, and don't keep any of them!

This aroused strong protests and resistance from the officials and dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom. They all scolded Pusanhutu for losing his mind. The Queen Mother Tudan asked Pusanhutu whether he was crazy.

Pusan ​​Hutu put the head of the Minister of the Household on the ground, and pointed at this head and shed tears.

"I'm not crazy, I just know that if the gold and silver are not delivered in full, the Restoration Army will inevitably enter the city. By then, everything will be too late!"

The Empress Dowager Tudan was frightened by that head and did not dare to say anything. She did not even dare to take care of the matter of the Pusanhutu sending people to loot the Tudan family's property. She just hid in the deep palace and prayed to God. God has pity on the Golden Kingdom.

But God was probably dozing off, and he didn't mean to pity the Kingdom of Great Jin, just like when God didn't pity the Kingdom of Great Song back then.

Pusan ​​Hutu took action against the dignitaries and officials of the Jin State, and gained a lot.

This is natural. This group of people will always be the smallest in number but the richest. Many people have piles of gold and silver, and dozens of carts can't handle them all.

While counting the number of gold and silver, Pusan ​​Hutu also sensed with a keen sense of smell that they must still have some secret parts, so he ordered that people be allowed to inform each other, and if the informers succeeded, they could be rewarded and not be looted.

This is good, in order to avoid being looted, each family gave up the apparent harmony in the past, and accused each other of breaking the news. Hidden in the cellar.

There is even more outrageous boxing of gold and silver into the bottom of the artificial pond at home, or hollowing out the trunk of a big tree in the home, and hiding the gold and silver inside the trunk.

Pusan ​​Hutu was overjoyed, and once again dispatched a small army to go door-to-door to check on the intelligence, and searched for all the hidden gold and silver. During the period, if they encountered resistance, they would directly draw a knife and kill them.

The Jurchen pro-noble family was raided, the high-ranking noble family was raided, except for the immediate royal family in the palace, which was not raided, and almost no other ruling class escaped.

Pusanhutu himself contributed all the gold and silver hidden in his home, and did not dare to keep it at all.

Because the amount of gold and silver was too large to be counted in three days, Su Yonglin gave him a two-day grace period. He also sent statisticians from the Restoration Army into the imperial city to help them count together.

So they calculated a total of 7 taels of gold and 110 taels of silver.

Counting the 32 taels of gold and 240 million taels of silver that were delivered to Su Yonglin earlier, a total of 1309 million taels of gold and 350 million taels of silver were staggering.

However, compared to the amount Su Yonglin requested, silver was enough, and gold was slightly insufficient.

Therefore, Pusan ​​Hutu was still a little nervous. I wonder if Su Yonglin would be satisfied.

In fact, Su Yonglin himself didn't expect to get this amount. He just opened his mouth to scare people, and was ready to lay the foundation for the next step of extortion.

Now is the time to start with money, the next step is to start with people.

But who knows that they can really get so much gold and silver, and in addition to the lack of gold, the silver actually exceeds a part.

But this is not important, and no amount of excess will affect his next move.

Seeing a large amount of gold and silver being transported into the Restoration Army station by car, Su Yonglin was not happy at all, but felt a little sad.

Because these are the people's fat and the people's cream, the hard-earned money of the people who were brutally oppressed by the rulers of the Jin Kingdom. Every tael of gold and silver is covered with the blood and tears of the people. How could he be happy?

When checking the gold and silver, Su Yonglin expressed his emotions to the generals around him.

"It's just an inner city with a population of only a few hundred thousand. It is possible to loot so much gold and silver, which is piled up like a mountain. It shows how cruelly the people of the Jin Kingdom have been squeezed."

He pointed to the gold and silver and said to the people around him: "The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song are no different. When you see the Kingdom of Jin, you can think of the Kingdom of Song, so why did you not have enough food and clothing in the past, and you almost died of freezing and starvation? Now you know why? All the money that will allow you to eat, clothe and live a good life has been looted here."

The officers who followed Su Yonglin were dazed by the gold and silver at first.

But when Su Yonglin said this, they were all stunned. After a while, an inexplicable feeling flowed in their hearts.

Most of them were born in poverty, and when Su Yonglin mentioned it, they couldn't help but think of their tragic past, the past when their family was brutally exploited and oppressed, and felt pain and hatred in their hearts.

Hatred of the rulers of Jin and Song, hatred of the upper class, hatred of cruel exploitation and oppression.

Wealth never appears out of thin air. If it is too concentrated, someone must be oppressed and exploited.

Afterwards, Su Yonglin ordered all the troops to visit the mountains of gold and silver in order, and the instructor personally explained the origin of the gold and silver, and carried out a wave of political education.

Why didn't you get enough to eat, don't keep warm, and almost starved to death?
Because your money was looted here.

Who searched for it?

High-class people in the city.

How did you search for it?
Excessive taxes.

What will the gold and silver be used for after being looted?
For the high-class people to spend their days drinking and drinking, living in a conservatory, holding warm wine, and watching you freeze to death in the wind and snow.

The effect of this wave of political education on the front line must be very good.

Because Su Yonglin saw many soldiers cry out to the pile of gold and silver under the guidance of the instructor. The crying was heartbreaking and very painful.

And looking at the mountains of gold and silver, Su Yonglin can think of it.

The fact that so much money can be taken out is enough to prove that the greed of this group of people is far beyond his imagination. The past life has limited his imagination, making him feel that his life is already very rich, but it turns out that he still It is necessary to use deeper malice to speculate on the minds of those high-class people.

They still have many, many things to come, and they are far from being drained.

and so.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to use the bureaucracy of the Golden State and let them do the statistics themselves and then pack them out, rather than robbing them and counting them by themselves?
So, under the frightened gaze of the two servants of the Jin Kingdom who were in charge of the delivery, Su Yonglin lost his temper with a dark face.

"I want 300 million taels of gold, why only 1309 million taels? Do you want to die?"

Su Yonglin shouted angrily, and Sun Ziyi and Su Yong immediately drew their knives and put their knives on the necks of the two household servants.

The two of them were so frightened that their waists and knees were sore, and they knelt on the ground and trembled.

"General... silver... the silver has exceeded the general's needs, a total of three hundred... 52 taels..."

The words are all useless.

Su Yonglin sneered.

"What I want is gold! Not silver! I still have 1601 million taels of gold. If you can't get it out, I will go to the city to get it myself."

"I can take it! I can take it! I can take it!"

In order to prevent Su Yonglin from making a move, the two repeatedly kowtowed and begged Su Yonglin for some grace, but Su Yonglin "forbeared the anger" and allowed this behavior.

After returning to the city, the two negotiated with Pusan ​​Hutu for a while, realizing that the gold could no longer be collected.

Gold is not a currency in circulation these days, but only exists as a luxury in the upper classes of society and in the trade of bulk goods. The nobles do hold a lot of gold, but the amount is not unlimited, and the amount mined each year is really limited.

The property of the emperor's internal library and the immediate royal family really does not want to be moved.

Then, there is only one choice.

With a long sigh, Pusan ​​Hutu ordered Su Yonglin to compensate Su Yonglin for the precious and antique items found from the families of powerful and high-ranking officials.

During the second round of looting, the Xijun looted nearly 200 million taels of gold-priced jewels, jade and antiques from the homes of the powerful and senior officials, and they robbed them so much that they wanted to cry.

After handing over these jewels and jade antiques to the Restoration Army, Pusan ​​Hutu and the civil and military officials thought that their nightmare was over, and they could start negotiating the surrender and the safe return of everyone to Liaodong.

But who knows, their nightmare has officially begun.
