Everyone's eyes lit up. Although the Great Liang currently dominates the East, there are still many targets that can be destroyed, and this must be taken care of.
Thinking of the countless small sums of money, Zhang Wanhao was immediately filled with motivation and his whole being became energetic.
He said in a deep voice, "My Zhang Clan will certainly do everything in our power to help Your Majesty destroy the Great West and the Frostwest Kingdom, so that Your Majesty will never lack money!"
With these scapegoats around, our aristocratic families can finally breathe a sigh of relief. How wonderful!
"Yes, that makes sense!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; as long as they weren't the ones who suffered a loss, it was acceptable.
By then, the emperor won't be short of money, and he won't need to ruin his reputation, which will be good for everyone.
Their gazes fell upon the alien race not far away, their eyes gleaming with the light of humanity: It's so good to have you all!
"Holy crap, how much money is that?!"
Abaddon was completely unaware that someone was watching him. His gaze was fixed on the endless line of carriages, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy!
If this were all gold and silver, how much money would it be? It would be an astronomical figure.
" The Yamata Nation is still a country, so it's normal for it to have such treasures!" Morandi explained with a wry smile.
They destroyed a country, which represents a nation's wealth, and it was extracted from it through sheer force of wills, so it must have been substantial.
" Yamata Nation?"
Abaddon curled his lip, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and sneered, "How much money could a country the size of a palm have? Great Liang is just a pushover."
Despite saying that, the envy in her eyes was hard to hide.
Looking at the densely packed carriages, he wished he could just send troops to seize them. These were all gold and silver treasures, silver that was used all over the world—it was all money!
Fortunately, Yamata Nation is just a small country, and probably doesn't have much money. The matter will be over soon.
However, after only a stick of incense had burned, the transport wagons continued to arrive in droves, which made him quite uneasy, even to the point of going crazy.
Abaddon clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed, "We've walked for so long, and there are still so many left! Has Great Liang stumbled upon a gold mine?"
They've been walking for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and they're still not done? That's just too outrageous!
How much does that cost?
Morandi swallowed hard and whispered, "At this rate, it's probably tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions."
"100 million?"
Upon hearing this unit of measurement, Abaddon immediately knelt down, shedding tears of poverty.
His eyes reddened, and he said with a touch of sadness, "Heaven is blind! I, Abaddon, a sage king, have never even seen tens of millions of dollars in my entire life, and Lin Yi has already reached hundreds of millions?"
This is fucking outrageous!
If conquering a country can bring so much wealth, then I must conquer at least one country myself, such as the Frostwest Empire.
Of course, if they could seize Great Liang, they would become instantly wealthy.
"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. The Hundred Riders around us have noticed us. This is their territory!" Sangdu, his face turning green, whispered a reminder.
This is someone else's territory! You, old man, actually want to rob them? You're courting death!
Abaddon was slightly taken aback, subconsciously glanced around, and his expression stiffened, causing him to become much more reserved.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; it's better to keep a low profile.
" Hundred Riders?"
Abaddon was tempted, not to mention the others. Faced with such immense wealth, few could remain calm.
If it weren't for the 100,000 troops there, they would have almost lost control of their greed.
This process, conducted under the watchful eyes of everyone, lasted for a full hour, leaving everyone stunned. How much money must that have cost?
Three hundred million!
Sun Jian handed the ledger to Lin Yi, and the enormous amount of money surprised Lin Yi.
He laughed and said, "Wasn't it only 200 million before? How come there's suddenly so much more? It's increased by 100 million!"
This is a whopping 100 million more than expected, which is a bit suspicious. Could this be a surprise from Sun Jian?
"Hehe, the extra 100 million was a gift from Zhou Yu, said to be a birthday present for the Emperor!" Sun Jian explained with a smile.
" Zhou Yu?"
Hearing Ran Min's words, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. This guy hadn't been in the news for a while, but now he'd actually given away 100 million guan. He must have found something good.
One hundred million strings of cash is not something a small place can easily gather.
Based on Zhou Yu's previous reports, he had been directing the troops westward across the sea. Could it be that there are gold mines there as well?
He couldn't help but laugh, "It seems Zhou Yu has also found a treasure trove, which is why he was able to obtain so much money, and even have surplus to send to me!"
It's true that the imperial court provided Zhou Yu with a lot of resources, but the amount of money was relatively small; the majority of the funds came from resources, and they often had to maintain their own expenditures.
To still have so much money to spare, they've definitely struck it rich.
"Hehe, Zhou Yu found an island with an open-pit gold mine and quite a few gems," Sun Jian explained.
He had encountered Zhou Yu's men on the road earlier. After they delivered the gifts, he brought them back together and naturally received news of Zhou Yu.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. He hadn't expected Zhou Yu to remember his birthday and even send him a gift. He hadn't let Lin Yi down.
Where is Zhou Yu?
"He has now found the route to the Zhennan and is heading towards the South Sea, preparing to try and catch the moon from the bottom of the sea!" Sun Jian exclaimed, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
This colleague of mine is about to make a great contribution again. This is definitely going to make Zhennan's backside suffer. The other party simply can't withstand it.
oh?
Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He hadn't previously asked Zhou Yu to attack Zhennan from the sea, since attacking from land was already sufficient.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Yu actually found the location on his own. That's quite interesting. This Zhou Lang is very clever; he truly deserves to be the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.
"This kid's not bad; he's got the guts!"
"Hehe, he even prepared a big one for the Emperor, which is still in the rear. I'm sure the Emperor will like it," Sun Jian laughed.
Big guy?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. What kind of big stuff is this these days? This is quite interesting.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever experienced such a surprise prepared by his subordinates, since they usually knew about the Net set.
In other words, Zhou Yu was on the high seas, Net couldn't keep up in time.
He couldn't help but look behind him, becoming curious about what this supposedly big gift was.
By this time, the transport convoy had mostly finished its journey, and the so-called "big guy" finally appeared.
