Chapter 715: Dongying People, You Are Exposed!
He had been bragging about it before, claiming that he had never seen any treasures, but after entering the treasure house for a while, Han Yue had already been slapped in the face continuously.
Not to mention the two gold bodies that are used as the gate of the treasure house, and the solid casting of that thing will cost at least 100,000 taels of gold. Not to mention the two Hetian sheep fat jade lions guarding the gate of the treasure, each of which was as tall as an adult.
Not to mention the six-foot-tall red coral tree, which can't be measured by worldly price.
Just talking about this piece of ambergris the size of two grinding discs, it already made Han Yue feel like he had entered a dream world.
What is ambergris?
It is a product of the birth of sperm whales.
Since ancient times, it is worth a lot of money, and in the Tang Dynasty, a penny of ambergris could be exchanged for ten taels of gold, and a gram in modern times cost tens of thousands of yuan.
This also refers to small ordinary ambergris, the larger the size, the more valuable it is.
This piece in the Buddha cave, the price is even as high as 50 taels of gold to exchange for a penny, this thing weighs more than 500 catties, which is equal to more than 8,000 taels in ancient times, 126 yuan, close to 130,000 yuan.
If the selling price is fifty taels of gold and one penny of ambergris, this one thing alone can be exchanged for more than 6.5 million taels of gold, and if it is exchanged for silver, how much is it? How much is it converted into copper coins?
It's close to seven or eight billion!
The current Datang definitely doesn't have so much money.
……
"This thing can only be sold slowly, and it continues to be sold year after year......"
Han Yue suddenly smiled bitterly, and his mood slowly calmed down.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed this huge piece of ambergris incense, and muttered to himself: "If you want to sell it all at once, even if you empty the entire Datang." Datang doesn't have so much money, and the surrounding countries don't have so much money, even if they are chopped up and sold, everyone doesn't have so much money. ”
A country's total economic output is numerous, which can be estimated from Datang's treasury taxes.
When Wude was in the ninth year, the annual income of Datang was only two or three million a year, so at that time, Li Shimin took 800,000 yuan to promote the waterwheel, and many families had to rush out to compete for it.
Later, with the gradual strengthening of the national strength and the continuous development of the industrial development economy by Han Yue, the revenue of the Datang treasury increased year by year, and now it has reached the level of 10 million yuan a year.
The tax system is one out of thirty, and a tax of 10 million will have a GDP of 300 million, and this piece of ambergris is conservatively estimated to be worth 700 million or 800 million, even if everyone in the entire Datang Dynasty does not eat or drink, they will have to save for two years.
If we apply the formula of gross national product and gross consumer value, it will take at least 20 years before anyone can afford it.
"Sell slowly, as much as you can!"
Han Yue sighed lightly again, and said with emotion on his face: "This thing is too valuable, it is impossible to sell it all at once." It may take many years for it to become all money......"
Li Chong smiled evilly, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Wouldn't that be better?" It can also be put in His Highness's private treasury for suppression. If you can't sell it in one year and sell it for ten years, you can't sell it for a hundred years, and your children and grandchildren will not be short of money to spend, and all generations will be rich. ”
Han Yue's heart pounded again, he glanced at Li Chong with burning eyes, and said stubbornly: "This thing, this king wants it, you are loyal, this king can accept you as a retainer." ”
Puff –
Li Chong fell to his knees, and tears instantly overflowed in the tiger's eyes.
"Your Highness, I, I, the minister, swear to follow ......"
He has followed Han Yue for so long, isn't he just looking forward to the identity of this retainer?
What a retainer is, is a higher level than his subordinates. The so-called retainers brought a family character, which means that they were accepted by the lord as their own family members and tied together from generation to generation.
The general died in a hundred battles, and he could not be knighted, and the title of king and knight has made the generals throw their heads and spill their blood, but this acceptance as a retainer is a step further.
Now Han Yue has a lot of generals, but only half of them can be accepted as retainers. Liu Heishi counted one, Cheng Chu counted half, and the reason why he counted half was because he married in the early years of two years.
In addition, Han Yue did not collect retainers again.
Whether it is Li Fenghua, Ada, Duoduomu and Tuhulong who followed him in the early years, or Li Long, Liu Sanshui, Xue Rengui and his son who followed behind, plus other generals who can fight well, these people can only be regarded as ministers under Han Yue, but they are not retainers with the word 'home'.
A retainer is a member of his own family.
After Han Yue died, the retainers could be buried next to him.
If Han Yue is not at home, when he encounters a major event, the retainers can discuss the matter with Doudou and make a decision. This kind of right to protect the lord and govern the family, even Luo Jing'er's ordinary wives are not qualified.
That's why Li Chong burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Han Yue.
"Get up, you're also an old man with me!" Han Yue stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and gently admonished: "When you become a retainer, remember not to be arrogant, and don't publicize it to the outside world, lest Li Fenghua and them feel uncomfortable." ”
"Your Highness rest assured, your command understands!" Li Chong swore to the sky, his face was very solemn, this thing seemed to feel that the strength was not enough, he took out the knife and chopped it to his fingers, and said loudly: "Your subordinates chop the Zhizhi ......"
Han Yue was startled and kicked him over. Then he took two steps forward, pointed at the tip of Li Chong's nose and scolded: "Chop your fingers at every turn, how many fingers do you have to chop?" Keep your claws, and help this king take care of the family in the future. I have seven children, and when I grow up, I may be scattered, and when the time comes, you can choose one to follow, and you can take your family with you......"
"Whoa!" Li Chong rolled over and got up, yelling and agreeing, the promise Han Yue gave him made his blood gush all over his body.
Which of the lord's children is good at stubble? Except for the future emperor, who is a khan, if he can follow him, his children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy protection for generations.
At this time, only the two of them exist in the Buddha cave, except for the torches on the stone wall emitting the sound of burning pipa, and the surrounding jewels make people feel like in a dream.
Han Yue stood silently in front of ambergris, his eyes obviously with a hint of confusion.
He looked back at the huge red coral, and then went to look at the two Hetian jade lions guarding the door, and suddenly muttered: "Strange, strange, although the Buddha Gate is powerful, and Dongdu is greedy, but the specifications of this treasure house are obviously beyond the mundane, this king really can't understand how he can loot so many huge treasures......"
Li Chong stood quietly on the side, silently listening to Han Yue's muttering, he is now a retainer, and a retainer should have the appearance of a retainer. In the past, when I was a general, I could express my opinions at will, but when I became a retainer, I had to talk less and do more.
Because the opinions of the retainers are carefully listened to by the lord's guild, the nonsense is very easy to affect the judgment of the head of the family.
Han Yue walked a few steps in the treasure house with his hands in his hands, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a big problem.
There are three treasures in Buddhism, it is said that Dongdu Buddha and the Great Buddha Temple presided over the looting, this Longmen Grottoes is only one of them, but only this one has exceeded Han Yue's cognition.
A Hetian jade lion more than one person tall.
Red coral trees more than six feet tall.
Two disc-sized pieces of ambergris......
I have never heard of these things, let alone seen them, such a huge treasure can only be owned by at least a wealthy family of five sexes and seven families, and it must be an heirloom left by our ancestors from generation to generation.
Ordinary people are not qualified to have this.
But Dongdu Buddha has deceived the world for 30 years, and his greatest ability is to fool the people. It is said that this person will loot the people at most, so where did he get such a huge treasure as red coral?
Han Yue pondered and meditated, but he couldn't figure out the answer.
At this time, Li Chong finally coughed lightly, cautiously said his conjecture, and said: "The lord has not returned for five years, and we have had a very hard time, and my command has secretly observed the movements of the DPRK and China for the past five years, and found that there is always a force interspers......ed in the dark."
"Huh?" Han Yue's eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at Li Chong, and frowned, "Tell me what you found, this king needs to hear it." ”
Li Chong coughed again, a little uncertain, and said: "This force should not be big, but the leader of the force is very shrewd, this person jumps up and down and wanders between various forces, sometimes helping King Wu to contact Buddhism, sometimes helping Buddhism to persecute King Wu, it seems that he has a secret relationship with those people in Confucianism, and even the palace has the shadow of this power extension." ”
He paused here when he said this, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, two years ago, my subordinates saw a figure in Chang'an, and I chased him for a long time and finally lost it, this person has six short knives stuck in his waist, although there are many scars on his face, but I vaguely feel as if I have seen him......"
Bang –
Han Yue suddenly slapped a palm and slammed it on the ambergris, and the huge ambergris shook for a while, as if it had even shaken the entire Buddha cave.
"This king knows, I finally know!" Han Yue's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Buddhism, Confucianism, King Wu, King Shu, the controlling flower in the palace, and the person with six knives in his waist you have seen, all these forces have been beaten by me, but someone is secretly connecting them together." ”
"Does the lord know who it is?" Li Chong's eyes lit up.
Han Yue nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away, you just said that the force does not seem to be big, which reminds this king of a disgusting small country." This country originated in the Central Plains, but the people in the country did not have the generosity of the Han people. They have greed in their personality and always like to plunder other people's things. ”
Speaking of this, he slowly exhaled a breath, and continued: "What they are best at is taking doctrine, and they like to plunder the knowledge of other countries to quickly improve themselves. Five years ago, this king went to Jiannan Province to fight, and before leaving, he solemnly told his father that no matter how the country jumps up and down, my Northeast Research Institute will not accept half of their students. ”
"Dongying people?" Li Chong blurted out, his face full of disbelief.
He is a person of the hundred knights, and he can remove many family and country secrets, Li Chong knows that Dongying is a small country and a widow, and every time he goes to the Tang Dynasty, he is humble and humble.
"Yes, it's Dongying people!" Han Yue nodded slowly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly felt a little happy, and muttered: "Fortunately, although my father has been a little stupid by the accused in the past few years, he has never forgotten the reminder when I left. Otherwise, five years have passed, and I don't know how much knowledge they will steal......"
