Chapter six hundred and seventy-seven: Departure

Fu Zonglong gave Liu Yi a great gift, which shocked Liu Yi. He immediately stood up and held Fu Zonglong and said, "What is the Supervisor doing? How dare the Supervisor receive such a great gift? The Supervisor said that this is the matter. Please don't mind it. If the Supervisor really wants to thank the Supervisor, then ask the Supervisor to kill a few more Jianlu and save a few more people."

Fu Zonglong held Liu Yi's hands tightly and said, "Okay, I promised you that you will kill a few more Jianlu and avenge the Ming people who died in vain." Lu Xiangsheng was also very moved. Liu Yi could do amazing things every time, and he could not repay Liu Yi's favor. Since the Tianxiong Army, Liu Yi has helped him a lot. Now he has become the governor of Liaodong. He is worried that there is no money to recruit soldiers. Liu Yi has solved his urgent needs for himself. Such a huge favor is probably not enough for him in his life.

"Before leaving, the cabinet master told me that the jealousy of loyal ministers was the most unfortunate thing for this dynasty. At that time, I had not had a deep understanding. Now I realized that General Liu was a pillar of the country. The gang of sluts in the court deceived the holy hearing, which led to General Liu only getting a seat for coordination of grain transportation. This governor did not mean that there were any differences between the official positions, but that from the perspective of my Ming Dynasty, useful talents should be placed in the correct position. Now it is time to use troops. There are such powerful generals and strong troops who are good at fighting, but instead they have to be constrained everywhere. If I were the chief minister, I would definitely recommend concentrating funds on General Liu, allowing the Qingyi Army to expand again, and then sending troops to guard the border. In this way, we are not afraid of the Northern Lu and Jianlu." Fu Zonglong said loudly.

Liu Yi nodded on the surface, but he did not agree in his heart, which shows that Fu Zonglong still does not understand the character of our saint. Of course, Liu Yi only learned about Chongzhen's character from later history books. However, this consciousness that surpassed 400 years helped Liu Yi a lot. Chongzhen is a person with a very serious doubt and never wholeheartedly believes in a person. Dealing with such an emperor is the real companionship of the king and a tiger. If Fu Zonglong said that, he would be the chief minister and propose that the court bring all resources to the new army.

If you concentrate, then your head on his neck is probably not far from moving. However, Liu Yi could not point him out in front of Fu Zonglong. He laughed and said, "The supervisor is right, but now that the journey is done, the generals have no complaints. The coordinated transportation of the canal is also good. The Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou is also an important transportation route. It is also a trust in me that the imperial court can hand over such an important channel to me. Please rest assured that the generals will definitely rectify the channel after they go back. When the supervisor has time, welcome to visit Nanzhili."

Fu Zonglong laughed and said, "That's nature, that's nature. Just a mere canal transportation business, with General Liu's talent and the wisdom of Chenggong, it's not easy to get it. I'm very confident about this."

"By the way, sir, the 1.5 million taels of silver have been brought all. I will take it to the supervisor now. The general will withdraw his troops from Jinzhou to rectify the troops and will not go back to Ningyuan. So it is better to hand over the money to the supervisor now." Liu Yi bowed.

Fu Zonglong's eyes lit up. Liu Yi was really resolute in doing things. He actually brought all the cash silver, but if he was packed in wooden boxes, he would have to pack hundreds of boxes. How did Liu Yi bring so many things? When he was asking, Liu Yi had already walked out of the hall and said something in the ear of a personal soldier. Soon, a group of dozens of soldiers came to the hall with thirty large wooden boxes. Fu Zonglong said a little strangely: "One million and five million taels of silver are only a dozen boxes?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out on the side.

Liu Yi smiled and nodded to the soldiers. With a thud, all the soldiers lifted the lid of the wooden box at the same time. The golden light in the room almost shook Fu Zonglong and Lu Xiangsheng's eyes. When they looked closely, Fu Zonglong was shocked and couldn't stop talking. Gold was actually gold. No wonder there were only a few dozen wooden boxes, and the box was not silver, but gold. To say that the status of this gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty was not the same. Gold was harder than silver. Because the circulation rate among the people was very low, the fake ones were also very good.

Very little, unlike copper coins that may be minted by private coins, silver may also be added to make the silver less pure. Gold is generally used by large households for settlement, or for collection by the people, or it is owned by the royal family. It is basically not used for trading and circulation, and one gold is equivalent to ten silvers, so gold has a more prominent position. Even if Fu Zonglong has already been ranked first-rank, he has never seen so much gold at the same time. Lu Xiangsheng was even more stunned. Oh my God, Liu Yi actually got so much gold.

Fu Zonglong walked to the wooden box excitedly, picked up a five-liang gold ingot, stroked it, felt the weight of the gold, then put it down, and picked up another one. Yes, it was all real and sufficient gold, and judging from the quality, it was definitely a very high purity gold. He turned to Liu Yi, and was about to say something, but Liu Yi spoke first, "Supervisor, these golds were indeed taken from Jianlu. In fact, Jianlu could not have so much gold. Most of the gold in their treasury was plundering the Ming Dynasty and North Korea and Mongolia. Anyway, they were all ill-gotten treasures, and they were just used for my use. 150,000 taels of gold are here, so please ask the Supervisor to count it." Liu Yi clasped his fists and said.

Fu Zonglong choked back when he got to his mouth. There was something strange about it. As we all know, Huang Taiji's nest was Hetuala before, but now it is Shengjing. If so much gold should be in Shengjing or Hetuala's treasury. Liu Yi's soldiers were just to sneak attack Huang Taiji's coastal areas. He didn't have many soldiers, and it was impossible to go deep into the hinterland to attack Shengjing and Hetuala. So the question is, who would hoard so much gold in a treasury in the coastal area, even if it was not in one.

In the treasury, Liu Yi did not have so much time to search one by one. And seeing that the gold was spotless, it means that it was transported back intact, not plundered from each treasury and pieced together. Did Liu Yi go to Shengjing for a while? Or did the gold be handed over to Liu Yi completely by Huang Taiji? Fu Zonglong was shocked by his thoughts. He shook his head and thought to himself: "Impossible, impossible, is Huang Taiji crazy? He handed so much gold to Liu Yi completely?"

Liu Yi could guess from Fu Zonglong's constantly changing expression that Fu Zonglong's heart must be full of questions, but he could not tell him the whole story directly. In short, that's it. He also wanted to hand over silver to Fu Zonglong, but the silver was too bulky, and it was inconvenient to transport it from the ship. There were many quantities. If you use jewelry, Fu Zonglong would be responsible for finding sales. That would be even more troublesome. Just give all the gold to Fu Zonglong. Anyway, he was originally planning to support Liaodong.

Fu Zonglong closed the lid of the box and immediately ordered his subordinates to load all the gold into the car and take it back together when they returned to Ningyuan. Liu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Supervisor, since the gold has been handed over to the Supervisor, then the generals are relieved. By the way, these golds are the only thoughts of the last general, so the supervisor does not need to report it, so as not to cause trouble in the court again."

Fu Zonglong nodded. He understood that the situation in the court was not good for Liu Yi. If he learned that he intercepted 1.5 million taels and did not hand them over to the court but gave them to him privately, neither he nor Liu Yi would have to take it away, so this matter must be kept confidential. Even if it was escorted, it could only be carried out by his own soldiers.

"Supervisor, if there is nothing else, the general will go down to arrange military affairs. The army will gather and set off tomorrow morning. The general and the general will not send off each other. There is no banquet that will last forever. The general will Zhu and the general will make great achievements in Liaodong, and will fight against the Jianlu, and make unparalleled achievements." Liu Yi bowed. Cheng Kang also stood up, "The government office in Jinzhou will be handed over to the general and Jiandou brother. I will pack up my things and withdraw my troops with the general. Take care of you!"

Fu Zonglong grabbed the two and said, "Let's do it. Come to the government office to have a meal in the evening. Liaodong is no matter how difficult it is. It's still fine if you eat a meal. Even if you practice it for the army, I will ask Lu Xiangsheng to send the two of them tomorrow morning. I hope that the new army will never have to travel thousands of miles to support Liaodong again, and the governor can also gain a foothold in Liaodong. If it is transferred in the future, I will go to Nanzhili to ask General Liu for a glass of wine." "Hahaha, Ziming, the governor wants to drink a glass of wine, then I will try the food in Nanzhili again." Lu Xiangsheng laughed. Liu Yi also laughed and said, "When I arrive in Nanzhili, I will be the last one to be the leader, and I will ensure that the governor and Brother Lu are satisfied."

At the dinner party, the host and the host were not willing to say anything. The next morning, Fu Zonglong drank a little too much and was still sleeping. However, Liu Yi got up early. As soon as the sky was dawn, the army was about to set off. The military discipline of the Qingyi Army was the best in the world. The instructor and the navy and marines were already waiting outside the city. Lu Xiangsheng was responsible for the task of seeing off, so he naturally left the city with Liu Yi.

The two of them bid farewell, and at this time, thousands of words were useless. They were no longer simple friendships, but comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, brothers who were friends of life and death. Lu Xiangsheng immediately held Liu Yi's hand and said, "Ziming, take care!"

Liu Yi was also a little moved, "Brother Jiandou, state affairs are difficult, God will give you great responsibilities to this person. Brother Jiandou must take care of you. This is for you. Take it, and wait until I leave. Take care!"
