Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 961;

Chapter 910; gold is pure
That night.

Three small boats quietly approached the Minzhou coast from the sea, Chengnan Shipyard.

More than a dozen strong men were all cautious, for fear of disturbing others by making noises.

One by one, the boxes were carried to the shore. You can tell that they are heavy just by the way the people carrying the boxes are struggling.

After the three carriages were loaded, dozens of men gathered together, followed around, and everyone held iron guns instead of iron guns.

The guards of Li's second room usually carry iron guns. Since Li Yu was assassinated, the body guards have been replaced by Tie Shuo.

The members of the upper third family of the Li family are actually not good at using iron spears. What they are really good at is the Tie Shuo Kung Fu handed down from the Qin Dynasty.

The 3000 people holding iron guns are completely different from the 3000 people in Latte Shuo.

Although there are only more than 30 people at the moment, but with Tie Shuo in hand, the killing array they set up can be upgraded a lot.

The three carriages did not go to Lijiazhuang in the north of the city, but went to the site of Li's third house in Longxi outside the west city, and then turned into an unremarkable alley.

Without the guidance of lanterns, the whole house was pitch-black, except for a faint light in the west wing room in the fifth courtyard.

More than 30 men carried a dozen small boxes into the lighted room in the backyard.

The leading team is entering the house and whispering;
"Reporting to the three patriarchs, they brought them back. Three ships, a total of eighteen boxes, all here."

There are not a few more oil lamps in the large hall, one on each side of the east and west, that's all.

The patriarchs of the upper three houses of the Li family all sat on top, Li Yu was in the middle, the patriarch of the big house was in the east, and the patriarch of the third house was in the west.

It seems that only the three patriarchs are in the house, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many people standing motionless in the darkness behind the three patriarchs.

These people are all wearing black and gray clothes, so it is really invisible if you don't pay attention.

Behind Li Yu is the Big Dipper, plus Liang Jianshi on duty, Liang Bold's own sister.

There is also Ma Jiujiu from the Ma family, and Ma Jiujiu is the only male who often follows the Patriarch.

He and his brother Ma Shiba took turns following the Patriarch. The Ma brothers and Agui Daniel, these four were Li Yulei's unstoppable bodyguards. If they traveled a little farther, the four King Kongs would appear neatly.

Usually four people are on duty in turn, plus the Big Dipper and a sword waiter, there are nine people in total.

The Li clan in Longxi includes the nine houses of Li Shimin's family. All patriarchs are surrounded by nine guards to protect them. This is a traditional rule that has not changed for 900 years.

A total of 27 masters sit in the darkness behind the three patriarchs.

The first one behind Li Yu was the Palace Master Liu of the Shangqing Palace, dressed in a black and gray tight Taoist robe, short and dainty, without any decorations, only holding a three-foot green sword in his hand.

That's right, the real green sword!It is the peerless weapon that Zhao Yun snatched in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't know how the ancients made it. It cuts iron like mud and is extremely powerful.

Ever since Daozi was assassinated, all the Big Dippers have unanimously used the treasures in their Taoist temples.

These treasures have a lot of tricks, and they even have a set of black double whips, which are ten times more terrifying than the one used by Yu Chigong.

That is the treasure of the Lord of the Great Palace, the treasure of the Taiqing Palace.

It is three feet seven inches and nine minutes long, and there are thirteen layers of whip joints.

The whip joints on each layer are made extremely sharp. The whip head is so sharp that it can be used as a gun head. Once pierced into the human body, it will destroy all the viscera in the seriously injured area and turn it into a barbecue. Bring it out from the whip joint.

It can be said responsibly that the gods will not be able to save the person who was impaled by these two whips.

When Palace Master Liu was on duty, among this group of weapons of the Big Dipper, the most powerful and eye-catching Qingzhi Sword, the treasure of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, was the most powerful.

Li Yu had seen the power of the Qingzhi Sword before, and he suspected that it wasn't made by the people on Earth, because the craftsmanship of this Qingzhi Sword was beyond Li Yu's knowledge.

The degree of sharpness is no longer at the peak of human technology, even in later generations, such advanced technology cannot achieve this level.

The words "cut iron like mud" are used in Qingzhi sword, which is so suitable that it cannot be used anymore.

Ma Jiu held a handful of Tiesuo in his hand, which was taller than his 1.9 meters five.

There are two types of Tie Shuo in Longxi Li's clan, long and short. Those who form formation immediately and fight and charge are the long ones. Ma Shijiu uses short soldiers, nine feet long and over two meters long.

This kind of short weapon is not used much by the Qiwang family with five surnames, including the upper and lower nine families of the Li family in Longxi. Only the clansmen of the upper three families use short weapons, and they are also the number one masters in using short weapons in the world today.

Although it is shorter, it is not as lethal as the long soldier Ma Shuo, but in small and medium-sized fights, this kind of short soldier has many advantages and characteristics, and it is more flexible than three points.

Compared with this kind of short-handed weapon, if you really want to focus on flexibility, the other five surnames and Qiwang's family feel that it is more straightforward to use a gun or spear, so not many use this weapon.

Because Tie Shuo, a short soldier, is not as lethal as Ma Shuo, and is not as flexible as a spear, so he is not liked by the world.

But for Shangsanfang of the Li family in Longxi, although the gun was effective, it was too light and the tip of the gun was too simple.The lethality is not enough, the girls are chirping.

The spear was a little heavier and more solid than the gun, but it was extremely uncomfortable because it couldn't go up or down.

Only the short soldiers invented by the ancestors, this kind of small nine-foot Tie Shuo, fits perfectly, it is much lighter and more agile than Ma Shuo, and it is more powerful than a spear.

If you can take advantage of it, you can fight and break through, and you can also have enough deterrence.

The nine guards behind the two patriarchs of Dafang and Sanfang carried exactly the same weapons as Ma Nineteen's, which were the weapons used uniformly by the Shangsanfang.

It's just that the taste has changed a long time ago. Li Yu secretly asked someone to create a more advanced refined steel. This is the refined steel that Li Yu presided over. After 49 experiments, the refined steel was obtained, the real refined steel.

Li Yu, who likes the number seven the most, is very satisfied with the number of 49 trials. He stopped at No. 40 nine trials and did not ask to continue.

The reason is that Dao 49 and Tian Yan [-] still have a glimmer of life left, we can't exceed this auspicious number.

Ever since, the experiment stopped completely at No.40 nine times, and no longer researched.

This is an absolutely secret matter, even the imperial court did not equip this kind of more sophisticated magic weapon.

As long as the Li family is in the third house, as long as he is a male, he will be issued with two guns, one long and one short, and an iron gun. The iron gun is made of the same grade as the imperial military department. iron.

The three patriarchs chatted with each other in low voices, and more than 30 clansmen who brought in the boxes stood motionless in the darkness without receiving a response.

Li Yu and his two elder brothers finished their conversation and pointed to the dozen or so small boxes on the ground.

"Open all."

"only."

After the leader agreed, he took out a large bunch of keys on his body, then an old man who was traveling with him took out another bunch of keys, and another old man took out a small notebook from his pocket.

This is a box made by the public loser. It needs two keys to be inserted together. One key turns clockwise and the other key turns counterclockwise.

Then there are nine numbers on the mouth of the box, from one to nine.

Only two keys are not enough, and a password is needed to open it. The passwords of all boxes are in the hands of the following accountant.

These boxes were arranged and built by Li Yu in advance. They are made of wood that is not afraid of seawater erosion. They will be immortal in water for thousands of years. Once they touch water, they will be three points stronger than steel.

As long as these boxes are locked, the stewards in charge of power must be present together to open them.

Without any one in charge, no one can open any mouthful unless you physically destroy it.

But not to mention physical damage, a little movement can startle the members of the Li clan.

There is no warrant from the chief steward, and those who come within three steps of the box will be killed without mercy. This is the death order of the fleet.

The three big stewards were busy for a long time, and finally with the sound of clicking, all the eighteen small boxes were unlocked, and the eighteen men acted together, and the eighteen boxes were opened at the same time, revealing the true contents inside.

Although the room was very dark, the dozen or so boxes were all golden.

The densely packed gold bars were neatly placed in the box.

The patriarch of Dafang waved his hand;
"Add three lights and check carefully."

"Yes."

Not long after, the three guards lit three lamps and stood beside the box. The patriarch of Sanfang waved his hands. From a dark corner, more than a dozen old men appeared, holding many things.

A group of old men used the oldest method to carefully check the authenticity of each gold bar.

The three patriarchs sat peacefully in the grand master's chair, motionless as a mountain. Li Yu followed the example of the two elder brothers and closed his eyes to cultivate his mind. Behind him, Grand Palace Master Liu gently kneaded both sides of Li Yu's neck.

A large group of old men were busy for nearly an hour, and finally inspected every gold bar, and then weighed one by one, some were in charge of recording, and some were in charge of weighing, and finally it was over.

The old man in the lead had a serious face, and came to the three patriarchs with the book in his hand.

"Reporting to the three patriarchs, ninety-five percent and a little bit more fineness, the weight varies, but the change is not big, the error of each one is three points, and it can swim between nine coins, Jiazi has the most boxes, 97 The catty is 13 taels and seven cents and six cents."

"The weight of the Wuyin box is the least, 62 catties and eight taels of money and eight cents."

The eighteen boxes add up to a total of 350 gold per catty and 14 taels and seven cents. "

The eyes of the old patriarch of Dafang are still closed;
"understood."

The old man in the third room was not as impatient as usual, but took his time and took his time.

"Well, yes, it seems that this trip was not in vain, and the children have gained a lot."

Li Yu also nodded;

"You've all worked hard, but there won't be any rewards and rewards for you tonight. Those shits from Chang'an City didn't just focus on taxes. They definitely have a lot of errands for invisible people. , and in the past year or so, more and more spies have been sent by the Xuanjia Army."

"To reward you for your hard work tonight, you have to have a name for it, but the secrets of the fleet cannot be seen, so no one will know about your hard work, and no one can know."

The chief steward who inspected the gold was taken from the Erfang family, and the old man spoke to the head of his family;
"The head of the family doesn't need to explain. The ministers are clear in their hearts that the possession is the foundation of my Shangsanfang clan's existence. It must not be known to outsiders. No matter how hard the ministers are, they are willing."

Seeing a group of old men nodding along, Li Yu smiled;

"Very well, you know the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration. Sure enough, you will not disappoint the patriarch. Go back and rest. I will stay in the village next to Sanfang tonight. It's not good to go out and wander around in the middle of the night. Sanfang has already given it to you. Everything is ready, even the bed attendants are available, each of you has two wives, a new bed and bedding, go and enjoy it."

"Yes, thank you, Sanfang Patriarch, for your care."

The old patriarch of Sanfang waved his hand;
"Excuse me, you all go."

"Yes."

A group of old men disappeared into the night, and the guards escorting the gold stepped forward;
"Ask Patriarch, how should we divide?"

Li Yu casually picked up the tea bowl on the table;

"According to the pre-determined role, you go to the third elder of the Chen family, he knows how to do it."

"Wei! But Patriarch, the third elder of the Chen family lives on the big ship. According to the normal sailing, it will take two days to return. I will wait for the fast boat to come back..."

"It's not a difficult task. First divide these into three equal shares, and share them equally among the three families. The rest will be divided according to the previous shares."

The muscles on the face of the guard who spoke kept twitching, obviously distressed, how much meat would my second room have to take out?
Not to mention the steward, none of the second-bedroom guards present did not feel distressed, but no matter how distressed they were, they did not show it. Even if some people's faces kept shaking, but the room was too dark, others could see Nothing came out.

The leading guard has not been in charge for ten or eight years. He is very experienced. His heart aches and his strong flesh trembles, but he dare not delay for a moment. He is afraid that if he responds slowly, it will cause misunderstanding. , this has to be careful not to mess around.

"only!"

After the leading guard agreed, he also took out a set of weights, commanded more than 30 men, and began to drop the scales and distribute the money.

Li Yu didn't care much about the gold. He knew very well in his heart that the gold mines he pointed out had an astonishing amount of reserves. At this time, the group should be consolidated instead of fighting each other. The most taboo thing in front of interests is disunity. .

Li Yu knew the background, so he didn't care, but the patriarchs of the big house and the patriarch of the third house had never seen so much gold being brought back at once in their entire lives.

In their eyes, this transaction is really the first time in the 900 years of Shangsanfang, so happy that they can equate themselves as the patriarch with the great achievements of their ancestors.

The two old men, who were excited in their hearts, suddenly heard that the younger brother of the second room said that the gold of more than 1000 catties should be distributed equally, and the two old men were shocked!
