Chapter 151 Plunder a country’s wealth!
Chapter 151 Plundering a country’s wealth!
“The ghost army marshal under the seat of Jiangnan Dao Ancha Lingjian Envoy!”
Jia Cong recalled the brilliant voice in his mind just now.
There was a clear understanding in my heart.
Ancestral spirits are indeed the prototypes of gods, and can be roughly considered a type of gods.
However, one is a regular god who is recognized by heaven and earth and holds divine duties.
One is just a wild god who is not recognized by heaven and earth.
With Jia Cong’s seventh-rank clergymanship, he should be able to confer titles on ghosts and gods of the third realm only.
Because of the nature of the ancestral spirit as a wild god, the imperial decree turned into “recruitment”!
In addition, the gradually solidified sixth-rank divine office of Jiangnan Dao Ancha Lingjian Envoy.
Only then was a ghost soldier marshal conferred!
In this way, the ghost soldier system is more complete!
According to Jia Cong’s idea.
Every team of thirty-five ghost soldiers is led by a ghost soldier, for a total of thirty-six!
Every thirty teams form a battalion, headed by a ghost general, and there are a total of one thousand and eighty-one ghosts in a battalion!
Every ten battalions form an army, headed by a ghost general, and there are a total of 10,811 ghost generals in an army!
The ghost soldiers of the seventh level of body forging are the soldiers, and the commander of the seventh level of acquired ghost soldiers is the backbone.
There is a total of one master of the fourth realm and ten masters of the third realm!
In addition, the ghost soldiers are elusive and have a haunting nature at night.
Such an army of ghost soldiers, if placed in the south to face small countries such as Annan and Jiaozhi, would have the power to destroy a country.
Now that the high-end combat power of an army of ghost soldiers has been assembled, it is only a matter of time before the remaining low-level ghost soldiers are assembled.
……
After leaving the Li royal family’s treasure house, it was already the third day.
“Cong’er, are you done?”
As soon as I came out of the prison dungeon, I saw Baochai falling from the sky.
In the past two days, Baochai has been sitting on the roof of the prison office to protect Jia Cong.
“Sister Bao, we have gained a lot this time. I will tell you later.”
Jia Cong gently took Baochai’s hand.
“Xia Shouzhong brought 8,000 cavalrymen to Shangjing City last night and today. I asked him to find a mansion in the city to wait for you.”
“Okay, Hei Wuchang, let Hou Jingyun and Ma Ruyue come to see me first.”
“Then let Xia Shouzhong and all the officials above the third rank in the city come together.”
Jia Cong nodded, thought about it, and gave orders.
“I obey my orders!”
Hei Wuchang, who was not far away, bowed and accepted the order, then used his minor teleportation ability to go find someone.
Not long after, Ma Ruyue and Hou Jingyun arrived together.
“Your subordinate greets the Marquis!”
“No need to be polite. How have you gained these past two days?”
“My Lord, I never thought that the wealthy and powerful people in Shangjing City would be so wealthy.”
Hou Jingyun licked his lips and a grim smile appeared on his face.
Normally, when a large army occupies a place, it needs to appease the local dignitaries and maintain its rule.
But for Jia Cong, there is no need for that, as his powerful strength is enough to suppress everything.
Moreover, we must first break down the existing classes before we can develop better.
So in the past two days, the two of them led eight hundred elite cavalrymen to do two things.
kill!
Copy the house!
According to Jia Cong’s previous instructions, officials below the third rank in the city were powerful and wealthy.
Including the royal clan of the Li family.
It started with the third-level masters who had died in battle, and then various charges were listed.
Now that both of them have practiced the “Bloodthirsty Art”, Hou Jingyun’s strength has surpassed the previous one.
The evil spirit in his body was surging and the murderous intent was boiling.
He has already reached the ninth level of the acquired realm, but the murderous intent that can be suppressed in his body has also accumulated to the extreme.
Ma Ruyue’s strength improved rapidly and reached the seventh level of acquired realm.
“I have seized a total of 68 million taels of silver and 3.2 million taels of gold, including 12 million taels of silver from the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue.”
“There are also silks, jewellery, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. I roughly estimate that they are worth at least 100 million taels of silver.”
North Korea is a weak country, but the gap between the rich and the poor is even more serious than that of Daqian.
In addition, this world has extraordinary power, making it easier to accumulate wealth.
Shangjing City is also the capital of Korea. It has been run by the Lee royal family for generations and gathers most of the powerful and wealthy people in the country.
The wealth looted from this city alone was worth two hundred million taels of silver!
“There are also land deeds in various places totaling 800,000 acres!” “My Lord, are we going to deal with it the same way as in Jiangnan and Shandong?”
“No need, wait a minute…”
Jia Cong raised his hand. As for how to deal with North Korea, Jia Cong already had a rough plan in his mind.
“Go to Xia Shouzhong and mobilize 3,000 cavalrymen to go to the academies in various parts of Korea, confiscate all the books in their collections, and transport them to the capital.”
“I will send an expert to follow in secret.”
“Anyone who stands in our way will be killed!”
After thinking for a while, Jia Cong gave orders.
When plundering a country, it is not just about gold and silver wealth.
There is no difference between 200 million silver ounces and 400 million silver ounces to Jia Cong; it is just a number.
Equally important is soft power such as cultural heritage.
Since the Goryeo Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula has been sending people to the Central Plains.
Even today, there are still a few Korean students in the Imperial College.
Learn Chinese, learn Chinese characters, and study the Four Books and Five Classics.
Korea is divided into eight provinces, each of which has a huge academy, forming an academic and political system.
These are things that money can’t buy.
“I obey my orders!”
When Hou Jingyun heard that someone was going to kill again, his eyes lit up.
“Remember, the key to Bloodthirsty Judgment is not to kill, but to subdue the killing intent and use the killing intent instead of being controlled by the killing intent.”
“If you can’t do this, you won’t be able to break through the martial arts innate no matter how many people you kill!”
Jia Cong stretched out his hand and pointed, and ten divine powers burned and turned into a clear light.
Enveloping the two of them.
The scarlet color in the two people’s eyes suddenly cleared a lot.
“This piece of Qingxin Jade is engraved with the Xuanmen Qingxin Jue, and it is a five-refined magic weapon. You two can take turns wearing it and comprehending it.”
“That should help.”
“Thank you, my Lord!”
Hou Jingyun and the other two were overjoyed when they heard this.
……
“Oh, my Lord, when His Majesty heard that you had led 800 men to Liaodong, he quickly ordered me to chase you on horseback.”
“I have been very nervous all the way.”
“Seeing that the Marquis is safe and sound, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
After seeing off Hou Jingyun and Ma Ruyue, Jia Cong brought Baochai to the palace hall which had been simply renovated.
As soon as Xia Shouzhong saw Jia Cong, he started crying and shouting.
No matter how much truth or falsehood there is.
We have been rushing almost non-stop from Shenjing to Shangjing City, so we can’t afford to lie.
“Thank you, Eunuch Xia, for your concern.”
Jia Cong smiled.
“Oh, what did I worry about?”
“Following the Marquis, I, a mere eunuch, am fortunate to have a share of the military merits in expanding the territory.”
“Every military family in Shenjing City is a family. If you know the situation in North Korea, I’m afraid they will have to fight for a place to go to the war.”
“I can’t thank you enough, my Lord.”
Xia Shouzhong was able to climb to his current position because he has long understood the ways of the world.
He comes out with flattering words.
“My Lord, now that Shangjing has been conquered and Korea has been pacified, I must quickly send a message to His Majesty.”
“But how do I write this letter… I need the Marquis to help me get a set of rules.”
The benefits of Jia Cong’s generosity in the past were fully demonstrated at this meeting.
In theory, this kind of memorial is extremely private.
It should have been written by Xia Shouzhong alone, but now Jia Cong’s opinion was asked.
There are so many areas where you can play with it.
