The Linyi Palace is still very luxurious.

Nineteen years ago, the Sui army conquered and captured the capital. They once looted the capital and the palace, and even the temple was not spared. However, the Sui army evacuated after the looting. Fan Fanzhi returned from the sea and immediately began to rebuild the capital palace.

Nineteen years later, the Lion City became more prosperous, the palace became more magnificent, and the temple became more magnificent.

Deep in the palace, there is a royal family temple. It is housed in it. Fan Fanzhi not only created pure gold medals for his ancestors again, but also taller than the eighteen gold medals that were stolen at the time. Each one is more than 1 meter high and is as wide as the door.

In addition, he also created eighteen pure gold statues for the eighteen ancestors as a pledge to the ones who had been robbed of their tablets.

The eighteen golden statues are all over the top.

A group of pirate leaders stood behind Li Shimin, and were stunned when they looked at the gold medal and statue of the golden god in the temple.

"All this is gold?"

"Well, pure gold is much purer than the golden dragon coins of Daqin." The golden dragon coins of Daqin looked at the golden light, but the gold content was only 82% of the time. They were mixed with copper and other combined castings, making the gold coins brighter and harder.

"Mom, how many kilograms of gold do you have to have such a big statue of gold?"

Li Shimin looked at the golden statues that were more than 1,000 kilograms, "Generally, bronze statues of equal heights are more than 1,000 kilograms, and these golden statues are more than 1,000 kilograms. I guess they have to have a few thousand kilograms."

"I guess it's going to weigh five or six thousand pounds."

A pirate leader from Funan immediately calculated by tying his fingers.

"If one tael of gold is obtained from Guangnan, it can be redeemed with the eight jin of Qin Kaiyuan Tongbao, one jin of 16 jin is redeemed with 128 jin, one thousand jin is 128 jin, and these five jin are..."

"Five thousand jin is 640,000 yuan. Here are 18 gold men, which are 1,152 million jin. Of course, you have forgotten to count the 18 gold medals that are big in the door, and each one must weigh more than 1,000 jin."

The pirate leaders were all dumbfounded.

"So, isn't there less than 100,000 kilograms of gold here? Can it be worth more than 10 million jin of gold?"

"Yes, it's worth so much money."

Everyone's breathing became thicker.

Li Shimin was also very uneasy.

There was no expectation that so much gold was completely unpredictable. Although it was also recorded in history books, when Liu Song attacked Linyi, he had plundered more than 100,000 kilograms of gold. The Sui army attacked Linyi 19 years ago and also plundered a lot of gold.

But so many are still amazing.

You should know that the annual gold output during the Sui Dynasty was only 20,000 to 30,000 taels, but combined, only about 2,000 kilograms of gold output. One hundred thousand kilograms, the annual gold output will take fifty years with the Sui Dynasty.

Even if the output of gold and silver in the Central Plains is low and Linyi is high, this is a bit too high.

Li Shimin also knew that Linyi had the benefits of maritime trade. Linyi traded with sea merchants mostly on gold and silver. Therefore, Linyi had more gold and silver, but it was indeed too shocking.

The gold medals and gold men in this temple alone can be worth 123 million guan.

If you recruit soldiers and build warships with such a large sum of money, it would be amazing. A treasure ship worth tens of thousands of stakes, but he would only make a hundred stakes. If he recruits a pirate, it would be at most tens of stakes a year, and a 100 stakes cost only hundreds of thousands of stakes.

A pirate seemed to see some of Li Shimin's thoughts, and came to him and whispered, "Erlang, this is a lot of money. Now we have seized the Lion City again. If we use these gold to build warships, weapons, and recruit soldiers and horses, we can completely establish ourselves in the land and even call ourselves a king and establish a country."

These words made Li Shimin breathe rapidly.

Yes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is nearly a thousand miles away from the southernmost Sunset Kingdom of the Great Qin. Especially the climate here, it is not easy for the Qin army to go deeper here.

The Sui army had also captured Linyi Capital, but in the end the entire army had to evacuate. Even because of the unacceptable environment and local conditions, countless deaths were killed along the way. Most of the troops in the southern expedition were eventually lost to the army.

Lion City has the capital to be independent. It is the Maritime Silk Road Port, which is convenient for business and trade. It is surrounded by plains, so you can be self-sufficient in farming.

Heart moved.

Li Shimin was indeed moved.

"Reported, Linyi Imperial Guard Zhang Peng and the presidents of the commercial gang in the city asked for a meeting." A pirate's report interrupted Li Shimin's imagination.

This report also woke him up.

It is indeed tempting to establish himself as a king here, but now Li Shimin is not the one who controls Lion City, not to mention that there is a stronger force in the South China Sea, the Daqin Royal South China Sea Fleet.

Shaking his head, Li Shimin sighed secretly.

"Let's go and meet the heroes who last night."

In the Golden Palace of King Linyi, Li Shimin met with Zhang Peng, Cui Liulang and others here.

The three families met here to celebrate their success.

Congratulations to each other with fine wine and smiles happily.

"Mr. Li, there is bad news. Although we successfully captured Lion City last night and captured Fan Fanzhi, Fan Fanzhi's son Fan Touli ran away."

Fan Toulli is the prince of Linyi, and Zhan Po's name is Jianda Podha Mo. This man is brave and warlike and very fierce. In the chaos last night, when this man saw that the situation was not good, he immediately led his personal guards out of the city and fled. At present, he must have gone to bring reinforcements.

Li Shimin held the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't care.

"It's okay, just run away."

"Let's discuss first how to deal with Lion City."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Shimin. After working hard last night, they finally took down the Lion City. Now of course everyone is concerned about how to share the benefits.

However, the three forces also have their own ideas.

For example, many pirates under Li Shimin only wanted to grab a ticket and left, but they didn't intend to occupy the Lion City. Especially after seeing the Jin people in the city, they even thought of dividing the gold and then going back to their hometowns to be rich men.

However, the merchants thought they wanted to control the city port for a long time, so that the merchants could occupy the important port of the Maritime Silk Road.

As for those people such as Zhang Peng, most of them also hope that the Qin army could come to take over the defense, and then they joined the court and were appointed as officials. Some of them simply wanted to return to the Central Plains and return to their hometown.

But no matter whether you leave or stay, you have to take the spoils.

"I would like to make a suggestion first. For the Hu merchants in the city, those Funan merchants, Zhenla merchants, Kunlun merchants, Tianzhu merchants, Persian merchants, Arab merchants, etc., it is best not to touch them. If we kill people, rob goods and grab money, then no Hu merchants dare to come to Lion City to do business again, and no one will come here to do business. Then Lion City will become a dead city in the future." said a president of a merchant gang.
