Chapter 145 Wu Mosheng is still born
Chapter 145: The Martial Demon was born
Liu Rengui looked at Chen Ying in surprise and said in confusion: "Divide the spoils?"
Since Liu Rengui followed Chen Ying in the past few years, he has also known Chen Ying. Chen Ying is a person who regards money and dirt and never cares about how much money he has.
Since Chen Ying was promoted to Ningyuan in the first year of Wude, he has hardly cared about his salary. Of course, Li Yuan has also fined Chen Ying the salary. For example, the luxurious life of aristocratic families is a pitiful joke in Chen Ying's eyes.
Chen Ying never cared about wearing gold and silver, jade and gems. Of course, Chen Ying never wore any jewelry. In Chen Ying's eyes, gold and silver are just a pile of rare metals, and wearing gold and silver is just a task that the countryside rich man can do.
What's more, Chen Ying has always been generous. Not only will he use his position to embezzle, but he will instead take out his family's money to help him with his poor troops for free, especially the court's pension to disabled soldiers, which is only five stagnant of money, and it is not even enough to buy a mule. However, Chen Ying not only arranges work for these disabled soldiers to the best of his ability, but also gives necessary care to soldiers who have lost their ability to live.
In fact, those disabled soldiers had no value in the eyes of other generals. They could neither go to the battlefield to kill, nor could they work for Chen Ying. From a business perspective, they were completely a loss-making business.
As one of Chen Ying's personal soldiers, Liu Rengui knew very well that Chen Ying helped no less than 50,000 disabled soldiers in Guanzhong, Anxi, and even Lingzhou, and spent as much as 200,000 to 300,000 jin per year.
He really couldn't figure out why Chen Ying was corrupt.
What made Liu Rengui even more difficult to understand was that Chen Ying said with confidence: "Of course! I rushed back from Anxi. I spent so much money, how could I not make up for it? I can't let thousands of soldiers work in vain, right? Even if I agree, they won't agree!"
Shan Xiongxin's little heart was jumping around, like a deer rushing around inside. He looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, his mouth was dry, and he swallowed hard, and asked, "Master, isn't this right? These are all people's fat and ointment..."
Chen Ying curled his lips and said, "I'm not here, my eyes are green, so why are you pretending here! Hurry up and count it and see how much money is!"
However, Liu Rengui was very honest and immediately directed his subordinates to carry out statistics work nervously.
When they heard Chen Ying say that they wanted to divide the dirty things, these soldiers were extremely excited and nonsense. Who doesn’t want so much money?
After a day and night counting, the numbers came out: there were 1.5 million taels of silver, 130,000 taels of gold, 460,000 kilograms of brass, and more than 600 pearls. In addition, there were countless valuable things like silk, jade, porcelain, mahogany furniture.
As for the seized antiques, there were more, especially the Zheng family's books in Xingyang, with as many as 130,000 volumes, of which more than two-thirds were all lonely books, and there were as many as 30,000 volumes of various bamboo slips alone, which made Chen Ying's eyes straight.
What I said most is that these things are the most precious wealth. What surprised Chen Ying the most was that he actually found "Mo Bian" in Zheng's library.
This is also the so-called "Mo Jing", which mainly discusses the balance of force, force system, lever, inclined surface and other simple machinery; it records the observation and research on small hole imaging and plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirror imaging, first of all, the concepts of simple time ("long", that is, the universe) and space ("yu").
According to historical records, "Mo Bian" was completed in Guisi (388 BC) in the 14th year of King An of Zhou. However, unfortunately, "Mo Bian" in Zheng's library was not the original version. Although it was a bamboo slip, with a total of three volumes and nine chapters, it was written in official script. Official script was invented in the late Qin Dynasty and was popular in the early Han Dynasty. It can be seen that these three volumes of "Mo Bian" were originally written in the late Qin Dynasty.
In addition to the "Mo Jing", Chen Ying also discovered Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface". Seeing this, Chen Ying was overjoyed.
Guo Luo said: "Master, how should we divide this amazing wealth?"
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Zheng's collection of books was not kept, and all of them were moved to Chenjiabao. He immediately ordered the bookstore to speed up the time for printing. As for the miscellaneous things such as jade, porcelain, and furniture, we don't want them, and leave them to the court..."
Although the soldiers were a little reluctant, they all understood that they would definitely not be able to take these things alone. If they plundered too cleanly and the court would not give up what they wanted.
"Gold, silver and copper are divided into three parts." Chen Ying talked happily.
Liu Rengui became confused. He knew at a glance that he had great experience in dividing spoils. Does he often do such things?
"A point is given to the court. As for how much it is to be handed over to the treasury in the end, it depends on how big the person in charge is." Chen Ying continued: "We have to take out one third and give it to the queen directly. The queen should understand that the remaining ones are worth 1.5 million guan, 3,000 soldiers, each of them, 500 guan, and 1,000 guan, and 1,000 guan, and 1,000 guan, and 3,000 guan, each of them, 300 guan, 500 guan, and 1,000 guan, and 1,000 guan, and the remaining one guan, are divided!"
In this way, everyone in the army has a share.
Liu Rengui said embarrassedly when he saw this, "How can this work?"
After all the calculations, Chen Ying didn't touch the money at all. Chen Ying was the leader. If he hadn't taken this money, others wouldn't dare to spend it.
Chen Ying smiled and said, "I only want these books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. In terms of actual value, I get more than ten times more than you."
...
Just when Chen Ying made a fortune in Xingyang, Li Anyan finally followed the secret room of Wen Daya's mansion to the Zhongnan Mountain outside Chang'an City.
After three days of net-like pursuit, Wen Daya was finally caught.
However, Wen Daya actually died of devouring gold as he imagined.
In desperation, Li Anyan had to take Wen Daya's body and return to Chang'an to report to Li Jiancheng.
In fact, in Wang Renbiao's confession, all the core backbones appeared died.
When Ang Lee checked the body, he also found that some of them actually committed suicide, while others died of suicide.
Seeing this result, Li Jiancheng was very angry.
Of course, Li Jiancheng also knew that if he continued to pursue the matter, he would shake the foundation of the country.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng did not pursue the matter, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief when the matter ended.
At the dynasty meeting, the Minister of Works, Wu Shihu, seemed listless, especially when Fang Xuanling was explaining the construction of the road, Wu Shihuhu was a little tranced.
It was not until Li Jiancheng looked at him with a frosty face that he came to his senses.
If you lose your etiquette before, this crime can be big or small.
To be small, insignificant.
To be honest, this is to despise the emperor and dismiss the official position and get a title.
The warrior quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I am giving birth today, so I am distracted. Please forgive me!"
Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. It was normal for his wife to give birth and his husband to worry.
Li Jiancheng said: "Aiqing Wu, come back first and retreat to the court!"
As Li Jiancheng announced his retirement from the court, the officials expressed their congratulations to the Wu Shihu: "Congratulations to Shangshu Wu, congratulations to Shangshu Wu!"
Faced with the congratulations from his colleagues, Samurai showed a grey smile that was even worse than crying.
In fact, the news that Mrs. Wu Yang Rong has not returned for many years and has returned to give birth to a child in five months has long been spread in the circle of Chang'an nobles. Why can't the warriors tell that these colleagues are teasing him?
However, as a businessman, he was promoted to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Works, he really had no capital to make a fuss with his colleagues.
In fact, it cannot be considered that he has no strength. The key is that Samurai is too weak. As for Samurai, promotion or removal is only within Li Jiancheng's thoughts, and others cannot decide his power of life and death.
The key is that the warrior dares not.
The warrior didn't know how to go home, so he returned to the Duke Yingguo's mansion, and the mansion was in a mess.
The two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang looked at Wu Shun outside the delivery room and struggled in their eyes.
Perhaps it was due to natural hostility, and their brothers were dissatisfied with Wu Shun, but the warriors beat them up, making them dare not be presumptuous.
Yang Rong's heart-wrenching screams from the delivery room came from her ears, and the warrior was full of thoughts.
From time to time, he recalled the bad faces of his colleagues.
Samurai took the wine pot, and he didn't use the cup and fucked his breath directly at the wine pot. Although Samurai wanted to get drunk, he became more and more awake as he drank.
The warrior was drunk and found that Yang Rong had not given birth to a child, so he staggered and walked drunk outside the delivery room door with a wine pot.
Wenpo thought the warrior was anxious and hurriedly explained: "Don't be impatient, the wife is strong and will be safe for the mother and son!"
The warrior actually thought that Yang Rong would die of dysfunction, preferably one corpse and two lives.
However, God seemed to be deliberately unable to get along with him.
Just the moment his thought arose.
A loud baby cries came from the delivery room.
"Born?" The wine pot in Samurai's hand fell to the ground and fell into dozens of pieces.
The Wenpo bowed and said, "Congratulations to the grandfather, for the joy of making the tile!"
...
It was already three days since Chen Ying received the news that Yang Rong gave birth to her next daughter. Chen Ying returned to Chang'an City, and then returned to Chenjiabao after reprimanding Li Jiancheng.
Li Xiuning told Chen Ying: "The wife of Duke Ying Guo was born..." "Daughter?" Chen Ying said subconsciously, "How do you know?" Li Xiuning said: "You just returned to Chang'an?"
