Mu Tiantao finally returned to his room after a tiring day.
This is a small room that can only accommodate a bed and a short table.
It used to be a utility room, but it was cleared away by Mu Tiantao to live alone.
Returning to this small room from the pack of tigers and wolves every day is what Mu Tiantao enjoys the most. Only here can he completely restore himself to his former self.
Not today, there is a man lying on his bed and eating something.
Mu Tiantao washed his face with water in the copper basin, and said to the man on the bed: "Get out!"
Xia Wanchun threw away the sugar lotus root foam in his hand. mouth, then looked at Mu Tiantao and said: "How can we get these 70 million taels of silver back to Chang'an?"
Mu Tiantao curled his lips and said: "Please invite the two generals Li Dingguo and Yun Yang Attack the city immediately and kill all Li Hongji's troops."
Xia Wanchun shook his head and said, "No, it's a good thing that Li Hongji is going to Liaodong."
< p>Mu Tiantao shook his head and said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too."Xia Wanchun moved his buttocks, approached Mu Tiantao and said: "So, we only want the money, not Li Hongji's head "
Mu Tiantao sneered and said: "Who do you think you are?"
Xia Wanchun said: "What we want will usually succeed. There will be no exception."
Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "You have said such big things, your Majesty may not think so."
Xia Wanchun said: "My master. There is not a word in the reply. Do you know what this means?"
Mu Tiantao smiled and said: "It means you can give up."
Xia Wanchun said: "You are wrong. It means that the capital must be taken down intact. There must not be too many casualties in the capital. It means that Li Hongji must go to Liaodong. It means that the 70 million people must be sent to Chang'an without any loss. It also represents you. Mu Tiantao must be obedient, otherwise, I will torture Zhu Yuluo and your Mu Prince family when I return."
Mu Tiantao sniffed and said, "How did you know that?"
"Because my master is the emperor, he cannot have any bad reputation. Master Han Lingshan is also a powerful and famous person now, so I have to do the bad things.
Now that I have started doing bad things
How can you, Mu Tiantao, escape? Hurry up and find a way. If the matter is done, you should go to Yushan as soon as possible to catch you. I heard that Mr. Xianliang was very angry at you for running away before finishing your studies."
"Can I go back to Yushan to continue studying?"
"Zhu Yuluo can own a large house with six rooms in Chang'an and more than 700 acres of land under Zhongnan Mountain. Why can't you?" Mu Tiantao roared low, raised his body, and pressed against the top of Mount Tai.Xia Wanchun hit Xia Wanchun normally, and Xia Wanchun raised his hand to grab the elbow of Mu Tiantao's hit, raised his leg to touch Mu Tiantao's leg, overturned Mu Tiantao and got out of bed.
Mu Tiantao, who fell heavily against the wall, finally fell onto the bed. His body hovered in the air and he sat firmly on the bedside, looking at Xia Wanchun and saying, "You must hold my hand before you follow me." I'm talking nicely, right?"
Xia Wanchun said: "I'm trying to threaten you because it means I'm not 100% sure of killing you, so I have to use some external force. It’s not that they have no excuses for people who have full trust in them from the beginning, and it’s not that I have great trust in them. It’s just that I’m too lazy to look for excuses.
I believe they can’t harm me. "
Mu Tiantao said: "So my brother, mother and others have fallen into the hands of Lantian?"
Xia Wanchun said with a smile: "The Yun family is in Yunnan. In 2000, a 100,000-strong Tiger Army was established. As soon as Mr. Qinglong arrived in Yunnan, Yun Biao mobilized an army of 100,000 to sweep across Yunnan and captured the chieftains of Yunnan, no less than 800 of them, including you, Prince Mu. < /p>
Oh, let me explain, your brother did not resist."
Mu Tiantao was silent for a moment and said, "What are you going to do with my brother and my family?"
Xia Wanchun said: "We can't go back to Yunnan."
Mu Tiantao sighed and nodded: "What else?"
Xia Wanchun said: "Chang'an is expanding the city. , there were two cities in old Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty called Yong'an and Xing'an, just beside the imperial city. You should know their functions, right?"
"Eight Kings..."
"That's right. Except for you, you can take it out and use it. Can the rest of you use it? We can't kill them, so we have to build two cities to move you all in and enjoy them. The Secret Service is also monitoring it. Convenient."
"Can you not say it so bluntly?"
"You want me to lie to you? But don't worry, I will wait until the world is safe. Year, your brother and the others will be completely free."
"Zhu Yuluo's family has already moved in?"
Xia Wanchun nodded and said: "Otherwise, you think it's all about Zhu Yuluo's own ability. Can you get such a big house in a few days? Don't worry, if your brother and his friends want to buy a house in Chang'an, they have only two options."
Mu Tiantao said: "In other words, they seem to have a choice, but they actually have no choice, right?"
Xia Wanchun said: "Not only that, the children at home can also study in Yushan Academy, but the subjects they can choose Not much, there is no chance to learn these two things, Wen Tao and Wu Lu."
Mu Tiantao said angrily: "If you don't learn Wen Tao, what are you going to learn about Wu Lu?"
"There are so many things you can learn, such as agriculture, water conservancy, astronomy, geography, humanities, medical skills, painting, music, dance, opera, architecture, institutions, etc. After you learn it, won't you still be a well-educated person?"
Mu Tiantao said sadly: "Prince Mu's Mansion belongs to a military family."
Xia Wanchun said impatiently: "Then change it, it will sound good if it comes from a music and painting family in the future, wait until I go back Just try to train some of Chongzhen's children to become famous drama masters, so that their names will be heard throughout the Ming Dynasty and become famous overseas!"
"This is humiliating..."
" What a shame, look at what Li Hongji did, and stay alive!"
"Seventy million dollars..."
"That's the tuition you paid for Yushan Academy! "
Mu Tiantao looked up to the sky and sighed: "The tuition is so expensive."
Xia Wanchun said contemptuously: "Without Yushan Academy teaching you and raising you all these years, Yu, you can't just be escorted to Chang'an by Mr. Qinglong now. You have nothing to do with these 70 million taels of silver.
As promised, that's it, you will be treated as a traitor. We are in charge of the peripheral area. Tell us what you think. How can we get rid of these 70 million taels? It is too much."
Mu Tiantao thought for a moment and said, "We must get rid of the silver. Melt it down and recast it into what we need."
Xia Wanchun blinked and said, "Nothing else to do?"
Mu Tiantao shook his head and said, "My opinion is to turn it all into silver. The shape of the silver plate should be similar to the shape of the back of the pack horse. A silver plate should preferably weigh fifty kilograms. In this way, a pack horse can carry exactly three silver plates.
You also need to add silver plates. Several holes are cast in it to facilitate binding and catching. If there are not enough pack horses, it can be quickly moved by manpower.
I will encourage Liu Zongmin to melt the silver. How to get the silver plate away is your business. .
Xia Wanchun said: "The craftsmen use our people. "
Mu Tiantao said: "I would also suggest painting these silver plates with black paint to cover people's ears and eyes. "
Xia Wanchun said: "We can also dig tunnels during the casting process and replace some real silver plates with fake silver plates, so as to reduce our workload during the final action. "
Mu Tiantao said: "It is best to build a larger blast furnace for smelting. Once things fail, destroy the furnace and let the melted silver water stay in the furnace, so that some of it can be left. . ”
When two young traitors were planning how to steal money in a small room, Li Hongji finally discovered that Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, and Li Mou were completely destroying him by doing this. The foundation of the emperor.
At this time, Liu Zongmin was still not satisfied and continued to expand the scope of torture. The miserable screams of Ming Dynasty officials could be heard everywhere in the capital.
At the same time, the wealthy people in the city were unhappy. A few people were also tortured and plundered as evildoers.
When the news of Li Dingguo's army arriving in Miyun reached the capital, all the civilians' wages and rice were plundered by the bandits for military use.
The city was full of hungry corpses.
Li Hongji felt that this was a bit excessive, and took advantage of the meeting to say to Liu Zongmin and others: "Why don't you help the lonely king become a good emperor? "
Liu Zongmin immediately contradicted him: "The power of the emperor belongs to you, and the power of torture belongs to me. Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Hongji remained silent...
Even Liu Zongmin didn't expect that he would get so much money in the capital.
While Mu Tiantao was constantly calculating with an abacus how to turn the silver into the most suitable silver plate for transportation, Liu Zongmin finally realized this problem.
Li Dingguo’s army was camped less than a hundred miles away from the capital. The reason why he did not rush to attack the capital was because he was waiting for Yun Yang coming from Shandong. After all, King Chuang’s army had six soldiers. One hundred and seventy thousand, even if Li Dingguo's army is well-equipped, it cannot face such a large number of King Chuang's army at the same time.
This is Liu Zongmin’s understanding of the situation.
He has seen the fighting style of Lantian Army, so he is not willing to collide with the steel and flames of Lantian Army when he is extremely wealthy. Now, how to keep the wealth in his hands has become a problem. Liu Zongmin’s most urgent matter at present.
While inspecting the bank again, Liu Zongmin met the smart Guanzhong boy again.
This time, the boy, surrounded by a group of guards, was placing a saddle-like thing on the back of a horse. The guards also admired it, and it didn’t look like he was doing it. Steal money.
After the boy tied the saddle-like thing to the horse's back, one of the guards jumped on the horse, sat on the horse's back, and urged the horse to pace back and forth.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Zongmin finally couldn't help his curiosity and shouted. Everyone turned around and saw that it was his general. The leader of the personal guards came to Liu Zongmin with a smile and pointed. The saddle-like thing said: "General, come and take a look at this thing."
Liu Zongmin came to the war horse, reached out and took a look at the black saddle-like thing in front of him and said: "This What is it? Eh? Silver?"
The guard's eyes narrowed as he smiled, and he caught Mu Tiantao who was hiding aside and said, "Speak to the general about your promotion. The opportunity to make a fortune is here."
