Chapter 369 "Clearing the Spoils"

"F*ck, I reckon this old guy has scraped all the wealth from this island and brought it to the city!"
"No doubt, the class divide is too extreme. The indigenous people in those villages outside just learned how to farm, they only have a bit of grain at home, no gold or silver at all! It's a whole different story in the city, anyone can grab a bag of gold!"
"Most of the people in the city are brought here by the old goods from Qin or are relatives of Qin people who have married into the city. Naturally, they are treated differently! It's just like the aristocratic clans in our Great Qin!"
"Hmph! With just a few tricks, Xu Fu thinks he can become emperor? If he continues to rule like this, he will be overthrown by the natives in a few years!"
……
The soldiers chatted while cleaning up the battlefield.
The civilians inside the city obviously belong to a different class from those outside.
Most of the wealth on the island is probably with the city dwellers!
The battlefield has just been cleaned up, and the spoils of war have already piled up into a small mountain!
Gold, silver, and jewels are naturally not a problem, in addition, there are also many precious animal skins.
Just bringing back these precious animal skins alone can fetch a lot of money!
The grain is even more needless to say, every household has hoarded so much grain that it can last for two or three years.
Some people have so much grain that it is starting to mold!
The soldiers were cursing while moving the grain!
Ying Feiyu then led Han Xin and others to the palace built by Xu Fu for himself.
Although a part of it had been damaged by artillery, a large part was still intact!
The wealth here is even more staggering!
"This old guy has gone crazy wanting to be an emperor. Not only did he build a city wall, but he also built a small palace for himself! Living inside here is almost like being an emperor!"
Little Shota raised his head and looked up at the broken palace, sarcastically saying, "
The sea is treacherous, and few people can reach here. If it weren't for the young lord building the steamship, I'm afraid that even now, Daqin would not be able to send people here!"
“都说占山为王，我看这徐福是打算占岛为王！”
“可不，岛上就他一个人懂的最多，当然都听从他的命令，很自然的，就奉其为王！”
Han Xin, Ying Bu, Wang Li, and others were moving bricks and tiles on the ground while talking.
"Young master, please..."
After moving those obstacles, Wang Li ran with a playful smile to the side of the little boy and made a gesture of invitation.
"Yes!"
Small Shota nodded and entered the remaining palace.
The main hall is not big, nor is it magnificent. There aren't any valuable things either. It's probably just used for meetings, just like the Kirin Hall!
Passing the main hall, there is another scene.
The hall is grand and magnificent, adorned with jewels everywhere, even the candlesticks are made of pure gold!
"Oh my goodness!"
This scene truly shocked everyone.
Walking further inside, it should be the bedroom of Xu Fu, also very luxurious!
"Oh my god, these cannot all be given by the emperor, right?"
Fan Kuo's eyes widened as he looked around, and he instinctively said.
"You can forget it, when Xu Fu left, we people of Daqin couldn't even have enough to eat, so how could we bring these things for him? It would be good enough if we could give him a little more food, at most just a little extra money!"
"Exactly, back then our Great Qin was dirt poor, where would we have so much spare money?"
"Then where did this old guy get all these good things?"
Fan Kuo scratched his head, looking completely confused.
"You forgot? The young master said that the island is rich in minerals, including gold, silver, and copper mines!"
Han Xin reminded.
"Exactly, I guess this old man tricked the indigenous people by giving them some benefits, making them mine, and then bringing the gold and silver here to satisfy his vanity...!"
The little boy touched the solid gold candlestick and laughed, saying, "Well, it's not bad at all. We just happened to find something ready-made!"
"Haha, yes, yes, Xu Fu can be even more extravagant. This way, we can bring back more gold to enrich the treasury of our Great Qin!"
Hearing this, Fan Kuai couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Xu Fu has been here for many years, he probably wouldn't just have such a small amount of gold. Let's keep looking, there should be more!"
The little boy gave his command.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded with a sound, immediately starting to search and at the same time moving everything valuable out, even the gemstones embedded in the wall were removed.
"Young master...young master, come over and take a look!"
After just a moment, Peng Yue suddenly exclaimed and kept waving to the little cutie.
"Old Peng, are you seeing a ghost...?"
Hearing the call, Han Xin accompanied the little boy and walked towards Peng Yue.
Just after taking two steps, his mocking words abruptly stopped.
His two eyes fixed on the position of the bed, with an expression no different from Peng Yue's!
"Wow, this old guy really knows how to enjoy!"
"Even the little boy was stunned by the sight in front of him."
"The silk bedding on the bed was lifted, revealing a pile of gold bars underneath, emitting a dazzling light!"
Don't be deceived by the wooden exterior, as the bed is actually filled with gold bars. If it wasn't for Peng Yue lifting the bedding, it would have been difficult to uncover these gold bars!
The exclamation of the few individuals attracted the attention of many soldiers from the Flying Eagle Squad, and everyone was left in awe by the scene before their eyes!
"What are we waiting for? Let's move!"
"Realizing this, Han Xin excitedly exclaimed."
"Alright!"
"Everyone agreed and took off their outer robes, placing gold bars on them. They walked out excitedly."
"My goodness! So much gold, Xu Fu must have hoarded a lot!"
"I say, Lao Peng, how did you think of lifting the bedding? Even hidden under the bed, you managed to find it. You're really something!"
"Hi! I stumbled upon it by accident too! I thought the bed was in the way, so I wanted to move it. But to my surprise, it didn't budge at all when I tried moving it. I exerted more force, but still couldn't move it. That's when I suspected there might be something fishy going on with it. I decided to investigate and ended up discovering a bed full of gold. Hehe!"
Peng Yue stuffed gold nuggets into his clothes while proudly saying.
"Everyone has searched carefully, who knows if there are still hidden gold somewhere!"
"Yes!"
After Han Xin gave the order, everyone responded and searched even more meticulously.
"Young master, Xu Fu, this old man, actually privately hoarded so much gold. The treasures in their treasury must be even more remarkable, right?"
With this thought, Wang Li's eyes immediately brightened.
"Hmm, that's right, this old man built this island according to the imperial court's instructions, there must be a national treasury. Bring some people with you and search carefully, make sure to find this national treasury!"
Xiao Zhaotai nodded.
"Alright! Young master, don't worry, no matter how well he hides it, I will definitely find it and enrich the treasury of our Great Qin!"
Wang Li arched his hands, took his companions, and ran away happily.
