The next morning, Wang Jun, who had dark circles, came to see Yuwen Wen with thick books, and Yuwen Wen also had dark circles. Both of them had no sleep all night, but there was a difference.

After entering the city yesterday, the Zhou army helped Linyi treasury "move" because various arrangements had been made in advance, the Zhou army's "voluntary moving" went on orderly all night.

Wang Jun and other military officials kept their accounts together and worked all night together. Lin Yi's night was still hot and stuffy, but they could not roll up their sleeves or were shirtless. Because there were many mosquitoes, Wang Jun and others suffered.

However, the participants all have "hard work fees". As an unknown and undisputed record room, Wang Jun had no salary, and "hard work fees" was not his purpose of staying up late.

Yuwen Wen was different. He was so hot that he couldn't sleep. Although he was not bitten by mosquitoes, he covered himself with prickly heat. That was because he wore too much armor to prevent assassins during the day.

"King, the preliminary statistics are out..." Wang Jun handed the account book to Yuwen Wen, and Yuwen Wen turned it over and then cut into the topic: "How much gold and silver are there?"

"The gold ingots are nearly 15,000 kilograms, and the silver ingots are about 180,000 kilograms."

"So many? You didn't count it again, did you?"

"Please rest assured, no repetitions!"

Yuwen Wen held the account book and felt that his breathing was rapid. He had heard of the wealth of Linyi Kingdom for a long time, but he did not expect that he could be so rich.

One pound of sixteen taels, the total gold exceeds 240,000 taels. If converted according to the "exchange rate" of one ounce of gold equals ten jin of coins, it is 2.4 million copper coins.

180,000 jin of silver, or 288,000 taels, is converted at the "exchange rate" of one tael of silver equals a consistent amount of money, which is 288,000 jin.

Gold and silver are worth 5.28 million jin of copper coins, or 5.28 million taels of silver.

What is this? During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the "Three Major Conquests of Wanli" cost about 7 million taels of silver, while the Bozhou battle and the Ningxia battle each cost about 2 million taels of silver.

Then, with the gold and silver obtained from the robbery of Linyi's treasury, Yuwen Wen sold another 2 million taels of silver, and he could go to North Korea to fight against Japanese pirates!

Well, that happened a thousand years later. There were also valuable items such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tortoiseshell, incense and medicine in the treasury. The part of the reward and filial piety to the court was deducted. All the military expenditures since Yuwen Wen went to war, and all the income from the robbery could make up for the surplus.

I'll ask if you're surprised or surprised?

"I have something unknown."

"The king asks for instructions."

"As the saying goes, eggs cannot be placed in one basket. Although the people of Linyi are the Cham people and their cultural customs are very different from those of the Central Plains, the King of Linyi will never be so stupid that all the gold and silver are placed in the national treasury, right?"

Yuwen Wen discovered the "blind spot" and began to question the figures counted by Wang Jun: "I know that ten thousand kilograms of gold melted into a lump, but only in one step, the size of the square. But is the King of Linyi so stupid, put all the gold and silver in the treasury in the same place?"

"The king, Dianchong City is about eight miles in circumference. If the length and width of the four walls are equally spaced, the area of ​​the city will also be deducted from private houses, mansions, military camps, government offices, and royal palaces. How many places can be built more than one treasury?"

Yuwen Wen's question was not difficult. He didn't know why Yuwen Wen thought that "10,000 kilograms of gold melted into a lump, but only one step was square in size", but the account would never be wrong, and he could explain it clearly in logic.

"The first thing to manage warehouses is to prevent internal thieves. The more warehouses the more people they use, the more internal thieves there will be. Linyi state has the benefits of maritime trade, and the area around Lingbiao Jiaoguang uses gold and silver as currency. The number of gold and silver used on weekdays will be very frequent. If the national treasury is divided into several places, it is very easy for internal thieves to take advantage of."

It makes sense, Yuwen Wen has no doubt about it, but his excitement is far more than this: the statue of the god he saw in the temple is pure gold!

"Master, I'm sorry to say that such a high statue of gods may have consumed more than one step in a square gold ingot, and that statue of gods may not be solid."

"Uh...but Linyi Kingdom has the benefits of maritime trade every year. Over time, it will always hoard a lot of gold, right?"

"King, during the Yuan Jia period of the Liu Song Dynasty, the Song army broke through Dian Chong and found nothing in gold and silver, and finally returned with a full load. I am afraid that the accumulation of Linyi Kingdom will only last forty or fifty years, so I think that even if the statue of the god is pure gold, it is hollow."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's gold or not."

Yuwen Wen was very interested. The gold and silver of the treasury, coupled with the gold statues and the plundering of the palace, were probably a big number. He did not come in vain this trip, and he would not waste his life crossing the sea and raid at such a great risk.

"Oh, do you think this little Linyi country has so much gold and silver? Will the court feel it is a surprise?"

"King, during the Yuan Jia period, the Song army attacked Linyi Kingdom. According to legend, the King of Linyi was willing to pay 10,000 kilograms of gold and 100,000 kilograms of silver and released the people of Rinan County to exchange for the Song army to withdraw."

"I remember that the Song army finally broke through Dian Chong, so?"

"So the commander of the Song army is not stupid. If the imperial court did not see that they had copied more than 10,000 kilograms of gold and more than 100,000 kilograms of silver in the accounts of the king's newspaper, the government would probably be more and more excited."

It makes sense, so...

Yin and Yang account books, etc., definitely don't exist...

......

Today is "surprise day", so there are many surprises. Yuwen Wen looked at the account book so hard that he almost couldn't close his mouth. Other surprises followed.

That is, some gold products were collected from the treasury, such as gold statues, magical instruments, jewelry, etc. The melting into gold ingots will cause a significant depreciation, so they have to be packed and brought back to China separately. Before the gold products are registered, Yu Wenwen must be asked to "read" them.

The question follows: Why do you check it out before registering?

Everyone is tacit about this kind of thing. Yuwen Wen is not a flawless saint, and he doesn't intend to turn his subordinates into ascetics. Everyone works so hard in Linyi, and it's a good thing to take some extra money back to surprise his family!

Walking among the golden plates of gold products, Yuwen Wen felt dazzled, but his eyes quickly set on a golden Buddha, the size of a fist and well-made, but there was nothing special among the many items.

Yuwen Wen walked up to pick up the golden Buddha and looked at it carefully, and the people next to him thought they hadn't seen it.

After a while, Yu Wenwen's expression changed slightly. He put the golden Buddha back to his original place, pretending to continue to "see" but his heart was filled with storms.

There is a string of numbers hidden in the pattern at the bottom edge of this golden Buddha. This string of numbers means that this golden Buddha is a fake, the outer layer is gold and the inner layer is brass. The reason why Yuwen Wen recognized it was because this golden Buddha was a work of his black workshop.

Yuwen Wen mastered the process of refining metal zinc, so he was able to produce fake gold (brass) in batches. His black workshop used this to make fake fakes and sell fake gold products to make profits.

As a result, his fake goods actually appeared in the Linyi Treasury. What does this mean?

This means that some of the gold and gold products that were plundered may be fakes, and they are also masterpieces of Yuwen Wen's black workshop!
