A horse cannot be fat without night grass, and a person cannot make money without windfall.

...

In the Forbidden City, outside the Changchun Palace.

Liangbi led the imperial guards with live ammunition to tightly surrounded the entire hall. The weapons of the imperial guards had been replaced by all Mauser pistols according to the emperor's opinion, which were majestic and majestic.

The imperial edict for forming the Imperial Guards had just been issued, but Liangbi had already begun to form a capable Imperial Guard. Among them, there were the 20 guards left by Tieliang at that time, the elite troops he discovered when he was in the Beijing Banner's standing camp, and the selected Great Inner Guards. According to the emperor's vision, all the Imperial Guards will be integrated into the Imperial Guards in the future, and the emperor's personal bodyguards should be controlled by the Imperial Guards.

As the Imperial Guards Minister, the Imperial Guards, seemed a little embarrassed, but the loyal Liangbi thought it was the emperor's greatest grace - the emperor gave you his life, and there was a higher trust? Although Tieliang had the kindness of knowing him, although Tieliang had asked him several times about the reason for the fire in the palace ban several times, Liangbi only told him with miracles - he was willing to bury this secret forever.

The military officers in front of the imperial court have a prominent reputation, but their work responsibilities are also very tiring. Not only does it mean that they have to be fully responsible for the security of the palace ban, but they also have to wait for the emperor's orders to perform some secret tasks at any time. Lin Guangyu was very dissatisfied and wanted to find someone to relieve Liang Bi's pressure. For example, Jiang Fangzhen, this is the number one confidant that Liang Bi trusts, and Cai E, who is both Liang Qichao's soccer and highly recommended by Liang Qichao. But both were rejected by Liang Bi. He told the emperor that these two were top students in Japanese non-commissioned officers, with their knowledge and military skills, but being military officers in front of the imperial court is a waste of talents, and they are more suitable to play their strengths when organizing the imperial guards.

Liangbi has only one standard for hiring people: do you have vision? If not, he will not buy it even if his status is high or his relationship is strong. Within his ability, he has selected a lot of military talents - many of the outstanding military talents who shine in the history of the Republic of China have benefited from Liangbi's recommendation, and he will never be jealous of those capable people.

A major event was happening in the Changchun Palace surrounded by the guards - Minister of the Interior Department Shixu personally led the eunuchs from the Jingshifang to excavate the Changchun Palace because it was said that the private money of the Lafayette was buried underground.

The emperor was looking at the terrain intently, while the queen begged the incense and praying respectfully, begging Cixi's spirit in heaven to bless her. Lin Guangyu disdained it, but since he was discovering Cixi's cellar, how could he do not pretend to behave?

"The auspicious time has come, dig!" The emperor symbolically waved the first shovel, but only pried a piece of floor tiles in Changchun Palace, and no soil was dug. Don't underestimate these floor tiles. All of them were burned in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. The texture was fine, hard and uniform. Shi Xu told the emperor that from the time they were burned to the time they were transported, they cost more than 1 tael of silver per piece. The prominent families in the capital were proud of being able to pave the floor with such bricks. Of course, this cannot be said explicitly - that was a transgression. The Chinese are used to adapting and just telling the brick kiln to change the pattern, it would not be the imperial bricks, but the quality was exactly the same.

One piece after another, these eunuchs usually do rough work, with great strength and high efficiency. Soon the imperial bricks in the hall were cleaned up...

But where to start? Shi Xu looked over and saw that the ground was almost flat, and he couldn't see where he had tampered with it. It was really difficult to do it. The eunuchs had never done this job before, so they had to stop as they did it. They could not dig aimlessly. Wasting labor is a trivial matter, and if Feng Shui is destroyed, it is a royal taboo.

What should I do? The eunuch looked at the general manager, and the general manager was in a state of great pain. The latter was sweating profusely and wanted to come to the emperor to ask for an order. Where should I start? - Isn't the emperor known as a god-like supporter? He should know where to bury it.

But Lin Guangyu did not have any help from gods? It was clearly a fabricated nonsense. Now, he was just a time traveler. But the time traveler is a time traveler after all, and his experience of more than 100 years is not in vain. The emperor has some solutions - "Please Luoyang shovel!" This is the most favorable exploration instrument for tomb robbers, and it can be called remote sensing of the local method. Lin Guangyu was in the history department before the time travel. Luoyang shovel is extremely familiar with it.

"Luoyang shovel?" Shi Xu was stunned. He had never heard of this thing!

The emperor thought it was wrong. He didn't have the name at this time, so he didn't explain it now. He just described the appearance roughly and drew a picture casually. Some skilled craftsmen in the Office of the Internal Affairs made the general appearance required by the emperor in less than three quarters of an hour. Although it was far less exquisite than Luoyang shovel, it was the most suitable to use it to make do.

Digging holes, raising soil, and identifying. The emperor did not understand the nature of the soil, but he knew the principle. Following his guidance, several eunuchs figured out the way. They took the soil seven times in a row and distributed it in 7 directions, but the result was very disappointing. The nature of the soil obtained was obviously layered in layers - it had not changed at all.

Longyu was a little anxious, and there was still the last position left. If there was no more, the Empress Dowager's private room would be ruined. With the attention of everyone, a shovel of soil was dug out. Someone shouted in surprise: "There is a problem with this soil!"

The problem is naturally the soil layer. Lin Guangyu, Longyu, Shixu and others looked at the soil layer, and it turned out to be extremely chaotic, which was very different from the soil taken from the first seven shovels just now. Has anyone touched this soil layer?

Without even thinking about it, the emperor ordered: "Just here, excavate!"

Dozens of shovels and pickaxes were digging in the direction. The first foot was no movement, the third foot was no stranger, the sixth foot was still soil. No matter what, keep digging!

When the ground was dug more than ten feet deep, the ground had turned into a big pit, and the digging soil was piled high in the corner. It was evil, and there was no movement yet? Just as the emperor was thinking about it, a "clang" sounded, and a pickaxe went down to make a crisp sound. Everyone heard it, and Longyu opened his eyes wide, afraid of missing the exciting moment. The eunuchs also knew that there might be goods underground and began to become cautious.

Sure enough, after cleaning up the floating soil, a dark iron box had appeared in front of everyone. It was more than 12 feet long and about 9 feet wide, but the depth was unknown, because most of it was still buried in the soil. After careful examination, it was not long before it was placed. Except for some places that began to rust, the rest of the lines were still very clear, and the words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could be vaguely seen. "It's it, get it up." Shi Xu shouted excitedly. He had never seen these records in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' archives, and he was also very curious.

After ten eunuchs tried their best to work, the cabinet did not move at all, so they had to continue cleaning the surrounding soil. After another round, the outline of the iron cabinet finally emerged. Although the cabinet was at least 7 feet deep, the bottom was still not seen. However, it was not tight. The upper lid of the cabinet was completely exposed, and there was also a super large copper lock to check it.

"Pry it open." The copper lock was obviously not the opponent of the pickaxe. It was pried open in a few seconds. When several eunuchs worked together to lift the box cover, almost everyone was unable to open their eyes by the light. The cabinet was neatly placed, emitting golden light, and casting an unparalleled temptation.

The eunuchs have never seen so much money, and they can't speak. Such a big ingot, with only one, can be enough to spend the rest of their lives without worries about food and clothing. But they dare not, not only because of the emperor's majesty, but also because they know that there are great guards around them, and as long as they show a greedy look, they may cause death.

Shi Xu lay on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

"Hahaha." The emperor laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth, "Shixu, you go down and have a look first."

Shi Xu could not hold back, and his fat body burst out with infinite power, appearing agile and flexible. He rushed to the edge of the iron cabinet, held a golden ingot with both hands, and looked heavy. He looked at the inscription at the bottom and saw a full 100 taels.

The people were too anxious to arrange them in a row, and one ingot after another passed through dozens of pairs of collecting from the cabinet to the ground. When everyone held the ingots worth more than 6 pounds in their hands, they wanted to hug them for a while. Longyu, who was already 40, was happy like a child, looking around the ingots and touching them.

"The first layer has been cleaned up, and there are 108 gold ingots in total, pearls, agate..."

"The second floor has been cleaned up, 108..."

“The third floor…”

“Fourth floor…”

The 49th floor was finally cleaned up, and the gold alone was about 530,000 taels. The emperor suddenly realized that the weight of this part was more than 16 tons, and the weight of other miscellaneous parts and the iron cabinet itself had to be nearly 20 tons. No wonder the iron cabinet was not moving at all. It was sent out and it was sent out completely! Lin Guangyu roughly calculated that according to the gold-silver ratio of 15:1, the value of the gold ingot was close to 8 million taels. In addition to other jewelry and jadeware, it was less than 12 million taels to be gathered together.

With the experience of Changchun Palace, the excavation of Ningshou Palace was even smoother. When you hit the third pit, you found a treasure land. The same burial method, the same content, and even the iron cabinet looked exactly the same - there were at least 12 million taels here.

In the face of so many wealth, Lin Guangyu finally understood why making money can become a lifelong hobby for some people - if 10 million taels of silver is just an abstract number, you may not be moved, but once you cast the 10 million taels into a silver mountain and show it to you, you don’t know how many people can withstand temptation. At least, everyone present has a gleam in their eyes. Even Longyu, the queen with a net worth of millions, still shows the impulse of possession when facing the golden ingot.
