Chapter 2194 Together
Bai Shan also stopped at the point and didn't say much.
As soon as the car arrived at the camp gate, Liu Huan ran up, stared at the box on the car and asked, "Did you really find the treasure?"
Bai Jilang: "Aren't you tired?"
Liu Huan pursed his lips and said, "Don't mention it. I wanted to stay and rest. I was too tired yesterday, and I can't rest today."
Since Manbao was not around, Zhou Liru drafted him into the army. Although Yin Huo also came to help, no one dared to let him get tired, so he still couldn't rest today, but his legs stopped shaking.
He looked at Bai Erlang with bright eyes, "Did you really find the treasure?"
Bai Erlang nodded, and put his arm around his shoulder to show off their harvest today.
Manbao was even more direct. He opened the box in his arms and showed Mr. Zhuang and the others the jewelry inside. "Mine."
Zhou Liru stared with wide eyes.
All the things were placed in the open space in the middle of the camp. Governor Duan asked people to count and record them so that they could be divided up later.
It is impossible to give all the gold and silver to Bai Shan and the others. He wants all the gold and silver, so why not give them other things?
Is it cloth and jewels that he lacks?
Of course not. The soldiers don’t need these things. With money, they can directly get medicine, food and pensions.
So when they were taking inventory, Governor Duan consulted with Bai Shan and decided to exchange the 30% of the money they were supposed to receive for goods.
Bai Shan refused, saying that they were not in great need of these cloths and jewels, and that they were going to the Western Regions on official business, not for business, so it would be inconvenient to carry so many things, and money was the most convenient thing.
The two men chatted back and forth for about a quarter of an hour, and Governor Duan sighed. "Because of smallpox this year, many merchants didn't go to the Western Regions, and merchants from the Western Regions also avoided this area. Liangzhou can't consume so much food, and the passing merchants probably won't buy much either, and will even bargain for it."
Bai Shan didn't say anything. Governor Duan glanced at him and continued, "Alas, my soldiers are used to suffering. Those with healthy limbs are fine, as long as they have a bite of bread to eat, but what about those in the medical tent who are missing limbs?"
Bai Shan said, "Master Duan, even if the gold and silver are reduced by 30%, the jewels you received are still quite valuable. That cat's eye stone alone is worth a thousand gold. With this money, you won't have any problems raising troops next year or even the year after, let alone this year. Why are you so worried now?"
"Cat's eye is valuable, but how many people can afford it?" Governor Duan said with a smile, "At least none of the merchants I know could possibly eat this one. Oh, and from what Young Master Bai said, Lord Zhou's brother also likes to travel between the grasslands and the capital. He must know many wealthy merchants and dignitaries. I wonder if he..."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "You know, because Zhou Man is the imperial physician, his family is currently engaged in the business of medicinal materials. This gem is worth the money he would spend on ten round trips. Based on my understanding of Zhou Sige, he should not let him touch it." No way.
But Governor Duan didn't know this. He frowned. The cost of ten round trips was the cost of ten years. It seemed that Mr. Zhou's business was not very big.
That……
Governor Duan was originally quite happy, after all, this cat's eye stone was really valuable, but now he was worried about its sales.
But he was not too worried. After saying goodbye to Bai Shan, he went to find the master who stayed behind. He planned to discuss with him how to sell the stolen goods.
Bai Shan also gathered his friends together and asked Mr. Zhuang to take charge to discuss the sale of stolen goods.
"Everyone has a share of this 30%."
Liu Huan and Yin Huo didn't expect that they both had it. They were stunned for a moment and said, "How embarrassing."
Bai Shan glanced at the two of them and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You two contributed your effort and manpower, so naturally it's what I want to give you. Not only you, but also General Nie and the others deserve it."
Liu Huan blinked in confusion. He knew that Yin Huo had gone out. After all, except for a few family members and guards who stayed behind to protect Yin Huo, all the others had followed General Nie to suppress the bandits.
But he...
Liu Huan couldn't help but ask Bai Erlang in a low voice: "What contribution did I make?" How come he didn't know?
Bai Erlang glanced at him and said, "You were busy in the medical tent yesterday and today, weren't you?"
Liu Huan was stunned. "Does this count?"
Bai Erlang said, "Of course not. However, since Bai Shan negotiated this matter, he will definitely get the largest share, followed by Manbao, and then us. General Nie should also get a good share, after all, he contributed a lot."
This will be calculated later. Bai Shan has always been fair, so he will definitely divide it well. They don't need to worry about this, but...
"I don't want cloth. Although those silks and satins feel good and the colors look okay, the patterns on them are too old."
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."
Yin Huo thought for a moment and said, "I'll just take some jewelry. I don't need anything else."
Liu Huan was curious, "What do you want jewelry for?"
Yin Huo glanced at him and said, "I have six sisters."
Liu Huan suddenly realized and began to think, "I have a grandmother too, but those jewelry are too bright and shiny. They don't suit my grandmother. The same goes for the cloth. Didn't you say you have spices? My grandfather and grandmother both like these. Can you give me some spices?"
"Don't even think about it," Bai Shan pointed at Bai Erlang and said, "The spices belong to him personally."
Hearing that personal stolen goods found in the mountains also belonged to the individual, Liu Huan's eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Yin Huo and said, "We will go up the mountain tomorrow too."
Zhou Liru was also tempted, "Aunt, if I find something, it will be mine too?"
"Just make sure it's not something the bandits are hiding together."
Zhou Liru's eyes lit up, "Okay, I want to go too."
Mr. Zhuang reminded them: "Don't divide up too much cargo. Try to exchange it for gold and silver. It's hard to carry too much luggage."
Bai Shan agreed.
Bai Erlang turned his head and said, "I heard you and Governor Duan talking about sending people back to Xiazhou."
Bai Shan hissed and said, "That's a lie to him. Keep your voice down."
They encountered horse thieves before leaving Yumen Pass, and they didn't know how dangerous the road ahead would be. How could he possibly send people back to Xiazhou?
Everyone: ...
Bai Shan said, "Let's settle this. I will try my best to exchange it for gold, silver or other things for everyone to take with them."
Liu Huan was curious, "What else?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You'll know in two days."
The next day, their team going up the mountain to search for treasure grew larger, and even General Nie followed them into the mountains.
Liu Huan and his companions really wanted to experience the feeling of finding treasure in a den of thieves, especially when they found that some of the things hidden by the thieves belonged to them personally.
So they went to the thieves' den excitedly.
As a result, they were shocked when they entered, even Bai Shan and Man Bao were shocked. They saw that most of the houses in front of them had collapsed, and the walls of several courtyards had been pushed down in half.
Governor Duan was also surprised, but he quickly reacted and glanced at his personal guards.
The guard lowered his voice and explained, "The brothers thought they all liked to hide their private money in the wall, so..."
The sound was not loud, but Bai Shan and others who were nearby heard it and were speechless for a moment.
See you tomorrow
