Chapter 069 Treasure
On the day of the beginning of summer, the court replied to the official document submitted by Lin Zi. As he expected, it was all decisive. Han Yong learned that he had made achievements in Xunzhou Prefecture and felt that he was good at making good use of people. He still has high hopes for his student. As a governor and also transferred the military affairs of the province, he knew that the more outstanding his political achievements were, the more he could say a few words in the court.
As for Fang Shiren, he had to choose to continue to endure. At this time, he knew that it was not a good choice to deal with Lin Zimo. After all, what he did was obvious to all. More than 30 years ago, after more than a dozen magistrates of Xunzhou have not been able to do, but in this short period of one or two months, he actually took the mountain thief of Erlong Mountain without a single soldier.
What does this mean? That's what others can't do, but he does it, which has to be admirable. Lin Zimo not only did it simply, but also did a very good job, making his reputation in the civilian class more and more famous. This time, Zhu Jianshen really remembered the name of his minister. However, all this is something that Lin Zimo didn't know.
Han Caiyi knew this situation, and her heart was unhappy. Because of love and hate, she has to take out the ivory bone fan given to herself by Lin Zimo and look at it carefully every day. The feeling of love and hate in her heart is extremely uncomfortable, which makes her temper worse and worse. She often loses and scolds her servants, making Han's servants walk around her.
Lin Zimo, who replied to the official document, was not in a hurry to kill this group of mountain thieves who had been harmful to the place for many years, but was determined to dig out the treasure first. He informed Zhao Wenxuan at the first time, and then took a group of people to drive the car and lead the horse to zero. They came out of Guiping City and gathered again and ran directly to Erlong Mountain.
Zhao Wenxuan, who was sitting on a horse, walked beside Lin Zimo's horse and said his thoughts, "Are we some workers like this? Between us, we should find out the place of the treasure and then send someone to transport it. If we go empty-handed and go back empty-handed, we will feel very wronged and even have a feeling of being teased by others.
"Sometimes, you are really too cautious, but sometimes, you are extremely impulsive." Lin Zimo, who was ten-pointed, relieved his confusion with a smile and said, "This period of time, Zhou Long, who was locked up, showed a lot of noise, scolding me for not being trustworthy and cursing me, etc., which was enough to show that the treasure he told me was real. Otherwise, his performance should not have been like this, but played my pride. As long as we find the right place, we should be able to find something.
Zhao Wenxuan, who is convinced of his brother-in-law, did not express any objection. The worst plan is to take a trip. He, who has never been greedy for gold and silver, really has no feeling about the half of the treasure Lin Zi silently gave him. After several sincere refusals, I still couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it. Zhao Wenxuan sincerely felt that his words were reasonable. If you don't spend enough on that side, you still have to ask him for it. Zhao Wenxuan felt that instead of bothering his brother like that, it would be better to stay and withdraw conveniently. After all, it is time-saving and labor-saving.
Along the way, the two brothers did not gossip much and spent most of their time talking about military affairs. In this regard, Lin Zimo, who knows that the ruler has strengths and weaknesses, shows more of his learning attitude, while Zhao Wenxuan, who also does not show pretentiousness, explained his relevant experience and experience in detail from shallow to deep and from easy to difficult. Lin Zimo, who doesn't feel the passage of time, can always be inspired by it.
The group walked to the foot of Erlong Mountain. Except for leaving a small number of people to guard the carriages and horses, the rest of them went up the mountain with Lin Zimo. Before the treasure hunt, he did a meticulous job and did not forget to let Zhou Long draw a sketch for himself. The purpose was not to fall into the trap in the mountain. After all, the mountain thief has been eliminated, but the trap is still there.
Lin Zimo, who opened the sketch in his hand, naturally would not walk in the front by himself or let Zhao Wenxuan walk in the front, but ordered some trustworthy people in his righteous army to walk forward to explore the way. As for Wang Qiang and others, they are naturally the queen. After half an hour of climbing and wading, their party finally came to the treasure place drawn by Zhou Long's sketch.
Lin Zimo, standing at the entrance of a secret cave, looked around the mountains and had a sense of Jedi: "This place is not easy to find. Even if you find it, if you are not familiar with the terrain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.
His entourage nodded one after another and fully agreed with him. Lin Zimo, who ordered five soldiers, to fire torches and go into the cave to explore. They did not dare to disbey. Although they knew that there was danger in the cave, they had to go. The five people were ready, and the two walked in one after another at a certain distance. Lin Zimo, who didn't care much about their life and death, began to care about how much money Zhou Long's treasure was worth. I believe that this money has little effect on him at present, but it will definitely be of great use in the future. In officialdom, except for fighting wits and gangs, the role of silver must not be underestimated.
If you let Lin Zi silently search for people's fat and people's ointment, you can never do this, but it is particularly easy to ask him to confiscate other people's property. He knew that there were neither chemical fertilizers, pesticides, nor large-scale mechanical auxiliary operations in this era, and it was impossible to have high land yield. Whether it is modern people or ancient people, the heat intake from food should not be much different, otherwise there will be hunger. Therefore, I know the suffering of the people's livelihood in this era and can't bear to exploit and plunder them endlessly. As long as he has a chance, he will attack the "rich man".
Suddenly, Lin Zimo, who enjoyed the scenery, was not destroyed and said with a feeling, "If I don't become an official, I will definitely come here to build a hut and accompany the stream, insects and birds all day long."
Zhao Wenxuan, who stood beside him, only took his joke and believed that he had a lofty ideal and revenge. He smiled and said, "Brother, can you really bear to leave your family here to practice immortality?"
Lin Zimo, who was originally a gossip, laughed and said, "The family is a man's shackles. Even if you want to leave them, you can't leave them. In this way, the wise brother is still far-sighted. If I can be like a wild crane one day, I'm afraid it won't be far from the days of immortals. In this environment, I feel very comfortable and comfortable just thinking about it.
Not long after he finished speaking, he heard a 'ah' cry in the cave. Lin Zimo, who had no more sour water, became alert in an instant and ordered Wang Qiang to lean over the mouth of the cave and ask about the situation inside.
The leading soldier held the torch high and shouted out of the cave, "It's okay. We just found the bones of many people in the cave. I didn't pay attention for a moment, so I was shocked.
Wang Qiang, who seemed to be a little dissatisfied, scolded loudly, "Don't be surprised, you coward."
"Your Excellency, we have found it." The leader shouted repeatedly excitedly, "We found it."
Wang Qiang, who heard carefully, hurried to Lin Zimo's side and reported, "Master, they have found that batch of treasures."
"You take people down and order them all to carry them out." Lin Zimo, who was happy in his heart, showed joy and ordered.
Wang Qiang, who held his fists in both hands, took the order and left. Lin Zimo handed over the sketch in his hand to Gao Xiang and ordered him to lead the crowd to carry the box down the mountain. As for Yang Yu, who insisted on following him, he asked him to go down the mountain with Gao Xiang and take care of the box to be put on the car. Lin Zimo really doesn't want to bring Yang Yu here. He is worried that he really has to have a fault, and it's not easy for him to explain to Yang Mengqi. However, this boy insisted on following himself, so he accepted him as a small follower.
Lin Zimo unfolded the folding fan in his hand and continued to enjoy the scenery here while fanning. Although the scenery here is not as magnificent as the mountains and rivers, it contains the beauty of the mountains and streams. It's funny in my heart, but the mountain thieves are still quite good at choosing a place to fall grass. It's just a pity that such a good scenery for 30 years has fallen into the hands of a group of people who don't know how to appreciate it.
"The antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry belong to me, and the gold and silver belong to you." Lin Zimo began to share the stolen goods without any vagueness.
He knows that it is better to bring yellow and white things around Zhao Wenxuan. After all, it is also convenient to spend. My adoptive brother will not use antique calligraphy and painting to reward meritorious soldiers. They are all a bunch of rough people who can't recognize elegant things, and only gold and silver are the most real in their eyes. If antique calligraphy and painting fall into their hands, it will be a violent thing.
Zhao Wenxuan, who had no objection, suddenly understood that his brother-in-law was kind for him, "I listen to my brother's arrangement."
Box after box of things were carried out of the cave by the two respectively. Each box has been heavy for a long time, and the contents of the box are all valuable things. There are not many boxes, and there are just 60 boxes. All the stolen goods robbed by Zhou Long and others. In fact, to be precise, he ate more and took more of the stolen goods he gave himself.
Lin Zimo felt that every box in front of him was like a beauty and smiled and said, "Good thing! It's all good."
Zhao Wenxuan, who is clear in his heart, knows that his righteous brother is not a greedy person, but a person who knows how to use money to achieve his personal ideals and goals. Lin Zimo, who is calm, deeply understands that if he wants to do great things, he must have money first, and only when he has money can he better gather people. If you have a large number of usable people under your hands, then you will have a chance to turn things around.
