Chapter 132 Dividing the spoils
Early in the morning, the Humble Administrator's Garden mansion was very noisy, "Hey, move the box to the left, don't press the calligraphy and paintings.", "Several people from your side have sorted out the armory." "Where is the granary booklet?" Where is my granary brochure? Has anyone seen it?"

A group of soldiers in bulky military uniforms with the word Zhuangyong on them were busy coming in and out, the sunlight cast mottled black shadows through the holed wall, Lin Dong stepped on the light spot, listening to all kinds of noisy voices.

He remembered clearly that there was a dense forest on the west side of this stone road, with luxuriant branches and leaves. It took days of work to barely clean it up.

When Lin Dong came to the hall, he saw mouthful after mouthful of boxes, sealed and randomly placed everywhere.

"Master, according to the rules, I guess you can get at least 7000 taels of silver when you take down Suzhou Mansion this time." Standing beside Lin Dong, Zhao Ergou muttered softly, and when he talked about money, his eyes rolled. All are shining.

Lin Dong glanced at him sideways, gave him a look like "Can this be said?", and said: "I am a person who cherishes soldiers, and I will not treat you badly."

Zhao Ergou knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Master, General Ma is here."

After finishing speaking, he paid homage to Ma Xinyi.

Lin Dong slightly arched his hands towards the old horse, the two men were not much different in terms of military positions, and the old horse was wearing ordinary uniforms, so Lin Dong didn't have much courtesy.

"have you eaten?"

The old horse asked with concern.

"Brother called, but I rushed over without stopping."

Lin Dong casually took over the conversation.

"Haha, I'm sensible."

Ma Xinyi immediately praised him.

"Brother, but the reward from the imperial court has come down?"

Lin Dong rubbed his chin and asked, he thought the speed was too fast, in three or two days, the military report could be sent to the Forbidden City from here?
It's about the same as sending a message by plane.

"What are you thinking? How can it be so fast?"

The voice paused, "The main reason for calling you here is to share the money. We discussed it." Ma Xinyi said.

Two people who work together, whether the other party treats you as a brother, in fact, the easiest way is to see whether you will give you money or not.

In other words, how much money will be allocated.

Lin Dong remembers very clearly that there was a very popular movie in his previous life, what was it called 囧, Zhang San and Li Si collaborated, a director and a starring role, the two of them had a brother, it stands to reason that Li Si did a lot of things, and the result There is no cooperation between Zhang San and Li Si, why?
I understand everything I understand.

If Zhang San didn't give Li Si a penny, it didn't mean that he didn't treat Li Si as a brother, but he didn't treat Li Si as a human being!
The old horse took Lin Dong to the house to drink tea.

Zhao Ergou went to do other things wisely.

After taking his seat, Ma Xinyi gestured to Lin Dong, "Sixty percent?" Lin Dong rolled his eyes, not expecting such a high percentage.

"Well, 2000% from the imperial court, [-]% from Master Yuan's side, and the rest is ours. Tan Shaoguang's treasury, land deeds are not counted, and the scraped out, only real gold and silver, a total of [-] taels."

"In 9000 taels, um, the Shanziying are all old people from the Shanzhai back then, so take an extra copy and compare it with the Hunan Army, and take the double ring. Your Fengziying is newly built, and if you can pay full salary, even if you can pay the full salary. Not bad, um, forget it, don’t pay the full salary.”

"This victory in Suzhou Mansion is almost entirely due to your credit. A brother can't take advantage of you. I will draw 4000 taels, and the remaining 1 taels of silver will be yours."

Ma Xinyi said with confidence.

Lin Dongxin made a total calculation, and he got the same share as Yuan Sanjia. The rewards from more than [-] soldiers were only [-] taels in total, and only [-] taels were reported to the court.

This is Suzhou Mansion!

Even if the land deeds are not counted, dismissing the court is like beggars begging for money.

Lin Dong rolled his eyes, and asked: "Then the high-ranking officials..." He pointed his fingers up.

"Marshal Yuan is already a member of the Central Committee. There is no higher level. Besides, if someone else reaches out, the Marshal will take care of it."

Ma Xinyi said with a slightly cold expression.

Lao Ma thought that Lin Dong would tell him wittily that he didn't need so much money, or that he would share some of it with himself, but in the end, this kid didn't even open his mouth.

Lin Dong's thinking was also simple. The Suzhou government was originally the credit of himself.

Now, according to the affairs in the officialdom, Yuan Sanjia and Ma Xinyi have to share the military merits, even if the other party says that they can't take the big money, shouldn't they collect some money themselves?
He intends to use this 1 taels of silver to search for all kinds of rare treasures in the world, and to find a way to go one step further in the martial arts and reach another level.

If there are fewer points, Lin Dong will definitely make trouble.

There are too many points, that is as it should be.

Lin Dong just has the faults that most people have.

"If you pay Fengziying, you can pay [-]% of the normal salary, up to [-]%. Don't pay too much, otherwise, the other Linhuai troops will not be able to explain it."

Ma Xinyi was afraid that Lin Dong would be stunned and do something wrong, so he couldn't help but make another point.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll save it."

Lin Dongle laughed.

"By the way, big brother, is there no movement from the Hunan Army? We occupied Suzhou Mansion, and they didn't fart?"

Lin Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

"It's very strange. I heard that we really captured the Suzhou Mansion. Marshal Yuan dispatched troops to rush here overnight. The Lujiang County Government where the Hunan Army is located is closer to here than the Luzhou Mansion in terms of distance. It doesn't make sense. Still behind Marshal Yuan."

"Marshal Yuan arrived in the past two days. Zeng Guoquan, or Bao Chao, sent a document the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to discuss military affairs. It turned out that he didn't see anyone today, which is a bit strange... But don't worry about them. The commander-in-chief will send him away, Suzhou Mansion is the meat in our pot, not everyone can leave with a chopstick."

Ma Xinyi casually added a word.

Suzhou was defeated, the Linhuai army had already entered the city, and everything was a foregone conclusion. Ma Xinyi was not afraid of the Hunan army at all.

"Brother, can I have a look at the things in the treasure house?"

Lin Dong turned his eyeballs and asked.

"I know you like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some weird things. Before, you asked Luo Xingyun to find ancient books. I remember all these. Turn left in the hall, and the third house is full of these things. You go there yourself. Choose, don’t take too much, it’s all registered in the booklet.”

Ma Xinyi put down the Gaiwancha and said without hesitation, but what he was thinking in his heart was - this bastard, it seems that he really doesn't intend to spit out another batch of money.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Lin Dong got up and went to pick out the baby.

At this time, Ma Xinyi said again: "Wait."

"What, big brother?" Lin Dongmeng turned around and asked.

"I mean 3 taels of silver. It's not too much, and it's not too much, but... it's not enough. There are not many big households left in Suzhou City. They were scraped by the Taiping Army over and over again. But the old saying goes , A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Since we have entered the city, they can't show nothing at all, and just take [-]% of the value of the land, what do you think? Let's organize a fundraising event to welcome Master Wang."

Ma Xinyi asked.

Suzhou Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, and Yangchang County are completely different places.

The big family in Yangchang County was killed and only one Luo family remained.

In this place of Luzhou Mansion, Lao Ma thinks that he will be able to build a foundation in the future, and has always had a delicate relationship with the local big clans. It's polite.

As for the Suzhou Mansion, it can be said to be very fat, 3 taels of silver is really not much.

According to the level of this city, even if you don’t estimate any real estate with land deeds, it is at least a starting level of 10 taels. Back then, local official Li Xiucheng occupied Suzhou Prefecture and won the title of "Li Bancheng". , The collection is quite rich.

Later, his son-in-law was replaced by Tan Shaoguang, who took care of him. In addition to paying tribute to Hong Xiuquan and Li Xiucheng every season, he also had to eat a lot of food.

The place of Suzhou Mansion was indeed blown to pieces.

The rich families left early, and those who could escape also left their ancestral houses and fled here. Only some merchants, relying on a little relationship with the high-level Taiping Army, forcibly stayed.

Of course, it's not necessarily good to leave, maybe, a family of young and old, including servants, could be directly buried in the corpse pit in the war disaster.

Those who didn't leave, that is, they had to shed their skins even if they didn't die.

Tan Shaoguang doesn't like women very much, but there are still six or seven wives found in the mansion.

Lin Dong also wanted to choose, but because Zeng Guoquan's affairs were delayed, he had dinner in the morning, and only after listening to Susu's chat did he know that Lao Ma had already given away this batch of vases.

I missed it, what a pity.

Back to the point.

Hearing what Lao Ma said, Lin Dong thought about it.

Could it be that he wants to send himself out again? Although things like ransacking their homes offend people, from a certain perspective... "Brother, I didn't expect such a good thing. If you want to ransack the houses of those people, you must Remember to bring your brother."

"You idiot."

The old horse scolded with a smile.

After chatting and laughing with the old horse for a while, Lin Dong went straight to the treasure room.

Pushing open the door, seeing the mouthfuls of boxes, he rubbed his hands, and started checking them one by one.

The main reason is to get some strange things. As for gold, silver and jewelry, it is enough to bring two pieces back to Susu, um, no, and then get two or three pieces for shopkeeper Xiao Lu.

The Qilin Great Dan taught by the White Lotus is a good thing, so we need to establish a good relationship.

The first box contained mostly gold and jade jewellery. After searching through it, there was not a single strange thing.

Disappointed!

Lin Dong continued to open the second box.

There is a bead, a white pearl, which is very warm in the hand, but it is a pity that I did not receive any reminder, so I am disappointed.

Next, disappointment plus two, disappointment plus three... until the seventh box.

[You have acquired a strange object, Toad in the Sky! 】

[Explanation: Toad facing the sky is a toad ornament with its face up to the sky. 】

This thing seems to be useful, but specifically, it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

Continue to unpack.

Lin Dong stayed in the treasure room for more than half a day. There were 140 eight boxes, and there were thirteen odd objects similar to toad ornaments.

These objects, from Fengshui, medical theory, arithmetic, life pattern, divination, all aspects, have certain special effects.

However, Lin Dong seems that these are of little use.

In addition, there are three pieces of high-quality goods.

Two ordinary treasures and one good treasure.

The best thing is this black jade tablet with a tiger head engraved on the front and a big Imperial character on the back.

[Name: Ghost Order Tiger Talisman! 】

[Explanation: Fuling can summon a ghost tiger as a mount!The body of the tiger is embedded with inscriptions in gold, which can drive the two ghosts to fight, with its own prestige and evil spirit!It can be summoned once a day. The ghost tiger is the spirit of the underworld. If it stays in the yang world for more than half an hour, it will consume the blood energy and luck of the commander. There is currently one free slot, which can be inlaid with affixes. 】

[Equipment Location: Waist]

This was the biggest surprise Lin Dong received.

Two other pieces.

[Name: Thirst Blood Bead]

[Explanation: The thirsty blood beads are bright and dazzling, clear and translucent. Carrying them with you can absorb the dirty blood of the human body and replenish them with the pure blood produced by itself to continuously improve the wearer's physique. When the thirsty blood beads turn black, they are completely useless. 】

This is a bright red bead, its appearance is a bit like the fake Cabernet Sauvignon that Lin Dong got. blood red...

In terms of quality, this thing does not necessarily mean that it is inferior to the strange item with affixes, but that it lacks certain necessary attributes and cannot be inlaid with affixes.

As for what is missing, that is beyond Lin Dong's current knowledge.

[Name: Xuantan True Monarch Statue]

[Explanation: Zhao Gongming, the True Monarch of Dragon and Tiger Profound Altar, the Commander-in-Chief summons treasures, accepts wealth, and is an immortal of the market.Taoist treasures, there is always someone who can discern the value of the statue of the real king, and there is a very small chance of summoning a real spirit of the real king after years of worship. 】

……

These are all the harvests Lin Dong got. Since then, the battle of Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang can be regarded as a real conclusion.
