Chapter 860： make money

Qi Xiuyuan stood up in shock with the gold nugget, "The bottom of the lake? Qin Fang threw the gold and silver at the bottom of the lake, the money from the treasury..."

"I haven't had time to ask someone to go down to check," Qi Haoran said, "At that time, I was patronizing and tossing a few children."

Qi Xiuyuan sat back in his chair, tightened the gold nugget in his hand and said, "I remember that your lake is very big. If you just find a place to drop it, it will be difficult to find it again."

"A-Ling found it by the lotus. The box was deep in the mud. If A-Ling hadn't thrown me out and bounced into the mud, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found the box underneath." He said about the accidental discovery of the box, and said: "At that time, A Ling said that she only touched one box, because she used too much force, so the box was broken. If you want to know how many boxes there are, you must find a good water Go down and see."

"Big Brother," Qi Haoran lowered his voice and said, "I don't think this matter will be made public for the time being. We will secretly scoop up the things and put them directly in your private treasury. If the treasury needs to be used, then borrow it from the private treasury. Anyway, the treasury Borrowing your private treasury is not once or twice."

Qi Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, "Are you telling everyone to keep looking for the gold and silver left by Qin Fang?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "Everyone knows that Qin Fang emptied Da Zhou before he left. We Da Qi are just empty shelves, and it is all up to the three of us to move around. People may go from frugality to luxury, and it may also make Xixia and Daijin more wary of us, and the relationship between our three countries has just eased a little."

Daqi is poor, and the quality of soldiers is close to that of Xixia Dazhou. If Daqi becomes rich, what about the quality of soldiers?

This is undoubtedly dangerous to Daikin and Xixia, and now the situation of containment of the Three Kingdoms may be broken.

Xixia and Dajin are eyeing Daqi, but the two countries also covet each other and fought a big war, so the three countries are temporarily maintaining stability. Although there are minor conflicts on the border, they are not big. , all restrain the soldiers to try not to kill.

Although Qi Haoran is a general, he doesn't want war, at least not until Daqi is ready.

Qi Xiuyuan also quickly figured out the joints, and he said, "Alright, just ask someone to salvage it quietly, and don't say anything."

Qi Haoran was distressed, "Where can I find someone who is reliable and has good water skills?"

He is not in the capital all the year round, where should he be asked to find these people?

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I'll arrange this matter, you just need to arrange the servants in the house, don't let them notice."

Qi Xiuyuan soon sent twenty people to Qi Haoran, and the more people moved, the bigger the noise.

And the servants in the mansion soon received an order that no one was allowed to go to the East Lake again, especially a few young masters who were strictly confined, and they would be expelled if they appeared within Wanqingxuan.

People accepted this ban as they should. Everyone knows that the five little masters fell into the water and scared the prince and princess. Now it is a matter of course to ban the lake.

And soon, it was rumored that the princess wanted to pull out the lotus bushes, and the little masters jumped into the water to pick the lotus pods. The princess felt that those lotus pods were a scourge, so she planted several lotus pods every year, not even lotus roots. ,What is the use?

People want to tell the princess that the lotus plants that Qin Xiang planted are for ornamental purposes. Every summer, the lotus flowers bloom one after another, and the red and white are beautiful like a fairyland.

But no one spoke to Mu Yangling when she was furious.

But at this time, Mu Yangling also said very distressedly: "Really pulled out all these burdens?"

"Just pull some," Qi Haoran said: "They are here to fish for gold, not really to pull the load, but if you don't pull at all, it's not good, and you can't hide it."

"Then I'll ask someone to ask to see who buys this lotus, and we'll sell it to them. I heard that this lotus can be worth a lot of money, and ten lotus roots are worth a tael of silver. It is said that it is the beginning of autumn, this kind of lotus root can be transplanted, we can sell it cheaper, and we can sell it for a lot of money for a tael of silver at the fifteenth festival.

Qi Haoran refused to accept: "Why do we have to sell one tael for fifteen sections? Just sell it for ten sections for one tael."

Mu Yangling twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "We have too many goods, and the other party will definitely lower the price."

Qi Haoran snorted coldly, "Who dares to press Master's price? Okay, don't worry about this, let Zhu Liang do it, Master just took a look, there are two or three small lotus roots under a lotus, although crisp Delicious, but also too small."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "This lotus is for ornamental purposes, and it does not produce lotus roots. I will ask people to plant meat lotus roots when I get out of my anger. I can harvest a lot of lotus roots every winter."

Qi Haoran nodded.

While the two of them were talking, the people who sank in the water came up one after another and reported: "My lord, my princess, there are many boxes along the line of He Cong. When the subordinates opened it, they were full of gold and silver, including the treasury. The official seal, but also gold and silver made privately.”

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling looked at each other, "It seems that there is not only the treasury silver, but also the money he stole from before."

Now the treasury is full. You must know that Qin Fang is rich enough to rival the country. Back then, they found a batch in the garden. The amount was quite large, but it was far less than what he embezzled. Except for what he spent for pleasure, it must be There's a lot of money left.

Qi Haoran instructed: "Immediately have someone put on a rope and pull it up."

Qin Fang had obviously calculated that nearly one-half of the east side of the East Lake was planted with lotus, and along the line connecting the lotus and the lake, he started throwing boxes about 20 meters from the shore, where the depth was about 20 meters away. reached seven or eight meters.

The distance between the lotus bushes is only three or four meters. Obviously, Qin Fang had calculated it when he excavated the East Lake.

Not to mention that no one has cleaned up these ornamental lotus bushes, even if someone pulls them up, they will not find the sunken boxes next to them, because they are covered by silt, and there are still three or four meters deep in the middle, if not for a few bears The child was diving, and Mu Yangling was bounced back into the mud by the force of the force.

Who would have thought that Qin Fang would throw the money in the lake?

It's more perverted than he made gold into floor tiles, isn't it?

Twenty people worked hard for almost a month to pull up all the boxes, and then used the pretense of transporting the goods to transport the things out.

There is no way, there are too many things, and the water is too deep and the water pressure is strong, they will be tired when they work back and forth, Qi Haoran does not want to cause death, so they work for two hours and rest for one hour, and stop work as soon as it gets dark.

But the speed of the twenty people was not slow, and there were a lot of boxes pulled up in a month. At the beginning, when I opened it and saw the bright and blind gold inside, I was still excited. After a month, everyone was numb, and then I deeply felt Qin Fang's greed and cruelty. All this money is the fat of the people.
