The fifth reunion once went in and out of Shouchengshi several times to meet Wang Mang, who entered from the Canglong Gate of the East Que, and rarely entered from the Xuanwu Gate of the North Que.

This is mainly because since the Han Dynasty, the political functions of the two ques have been different: the Eastern que is used to receive tribute from the princes, the ministers attend court, and when they go out, they are Shangguanli, where the prime minister's mansion and the ministers live.

As the main gate, the Beique is mostly used to hang the heads of Hu Kings, Shanyu and Yue Kings. The specifications are not enough and cannot reach the top of the city. Whenever the barbarians enter the court, the Dahonglu and Dian vassal states will take them from the barbarian residence to the Beique to visit, pointing to the quinox and smilingly saying that there has been someone else here.

But there is also a kind of situation that Han Dynasty had not encountered for more than two hundred years: the foreign army entered the city, and the lower ones were defeated, and the victors did not collect their blades or tie their armors, and they drove in from the northern palace in a dignified place.

This feeling is completely different from being careful when walking in the palace as a minister. The fifth reunion understands what it felt when Liu Bang first entered the Xianyang Palace.

The straight road leads directly to the majestic palace in front of you. The officials and guards lie on both sides. Look up carefully at your palace servants. There are countless armored soldiers surrounded by them. The only one in the world is the center of the world. You can reach the peak of power by stepping on it. You really should shout: "A real man should be like this!"

The soldiers and soldiers under his command were also grinning, their hearts filled with satisfaction. Some people looked around and widened their eyes and said, "This is the emperor's fortress. It's so big. Can he live here?"

"We'll stay for him!" Someone was already in high spirits and was ready to stay overnight, but when he saw the palace maids, he was stunned. Wang Mang left only the old and ugly old Han people, but he had not accepted much in the past ten years.

Zhao Hong, the general of the founding country who had just surrendered abroad, did some practical things, restrained the palace guards, closed the Shouchengmen, and stopped the rioters from rushing in to pull in gold, silver and fine materials. Now that the defense has been taken over by the Fifth Reunion, he has also assigned heavy troops to guard the four garrisons.

"Boqing." The fifth reunion pointed to Ren Guang who had just arrived: "You will take people to the Shangshutai and the three dukes in the palace, the four auxiliary and the nine ministers' offices to seal all documents, especially the map of the mountains and rivers in the world, and household registration and taxation."

Ren Guang responded to his promise, and the fifth reunion only used him as a low-end version of Xiao He.

He also called out the eighth clan who came from the north of the city to report that the clan soldiers had crossed the Wei River: "Ji Zheng was good at poetry and books, and rushed to Tianlu Pavilion, Shiqu Pavilion, and Qilin Pavilion to protect the classics."

This person can be sent to Liu Jiao, the King of Yuan Dynasty of Chu in the Han Dynasty.

And the fifth reunification himself went straight to the Gonggong Mansion.

Although Wang Mang changed his name, Gonggong, like Shaofu, is responsible for collecting taxes on mountain, sea, pond and local contributions for the purpose of the palace; he also had to set up many workshops to undertake all the needs of the palace, such as food, clothing, daily life, hunting and fun.

Therefore, its organization is huge, one of which is called "Zhongzangfu Ling", who is responsible for storing the gold and silk plundered by the Shaofu, which is in the palace province!

What was surprised that Chang'an was in chaos everywhere, and even the various government offices in the palace were no exception. Many people fled and everyone cared about their own family, and they were basically paralyzed.

However, the various institutions affiliated with the Gonggong Prefecture are still operating. The officials are holding swords outside and killing many palace guards who want to take advantage of the chaos and rob, and their bodies are dead in front of the door.

It was not until the fifth reunion brought his men to the arrival that they saw that they were in trouble and threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Wu Lun got out of the car and glanced at the group of officials who stayed at their posts at the last moment: "Where is Gonggong Song Zhongzi?"

"I am Song Hong."

The crowd was separated and walked out alone, blocked from the fifth ten steps away.

Although I have seen it once or twice in the palace in the past, I have never talked to you. I saw that Song Hong is handsome and handsome. In terms of being handsome, the most outstanding person I have ever met was Ma Yuan. But Song Hong is not inferior to him. Ma Zhangren could ask: "Who is beautiful or Song Gong of Chang'an?"

Wu Lun got out of the car and walked to Song Hong and said, "The General of the Liguo and others are all going to welcome me. The only one who is still in Chang'an, Song Gonggong is absent. Why?"

"Today is not a day of rest." Song Hong spoke in a stern manner and did not give the fifth reunion a good look.

"Since that's the case, I will guard the Communist Youth House until the last moment."

"What a good thing is Song Zhongzi who collapsed before the mountain of Tai and did not waive his responsibility. I made five chapters with the people of Chang'an. Officials below 2,000 stones will remain their posts. Can Song Duke continue to defend it?"

Song Hong raised his head: "I defend for Your Majesty, not for rebellion."

"Bold!" The soldiers behind the fifth reunion were furious, but were stopped by the fifth reunion.

The fifth reunion said: "Your Majesty... Wang Mang, abandoned the capital, abandoned you and ran away."

"It was forced to leave by his ministers!" Song Hong stared at Di Fifth Reun: "Di Fifth Boyu, you have rebelled as a new minister and have let down Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Faced with this question, the fifth reunion was relieved and even moved. He had almost an hour into Chang'an. He had seen those who bowed and begged for surrender, and those who called the souls of the previous dynasty. However, Song Hong was the first to denounce him for "rebelling against the new", which shows that Daxin was indeed very loyal and kind.

Wu Lun sighed: "Wang Mang has also let down our high expectations, and even let down the world. He is superstitious about destiny and abuses the people. Someone must stand up and overthrow him."

This is a fact. Song Hong once asked Wang Mang to distribute the gold he had saved over the years to the soldiers of the Northern Army to inspire morale, but Wang Mang placed his hopes on the southern suburbs of crying in the sky, which made Song Hongda disappointed and his heart was filled with coldness.

It's too late to say anything now. He did not continue to scold the fifth reunion, but only bowed: "I heard that those who can eat others will die. Hongjin is a prisoner, and he is the only one who dies. Please do it!"

Wu Lun shook his head and said, "Duke Song is my old friend Huan Tan's old friend. If he hurts Duke Song, Huan Junshan will definitely denounce me."

He leaned closer to Song Hong and whispered: "In my opinion, everyone in this city can be killed by civil and military officials, but Song Zhongzi cannot. The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the country is in chaos and shows loyal ministers! Although I have rebelled against Wang Mang, I only admire Duke Song."

Song Hong didn't know how to respond to this sentence. The fifth reunion smiled and said, "I have asked someone to protect Mr. Song's mansion. Your duties have been fulfilled. You can go back and reunite with your family."

"Come here, send Mr. Song home!"

Seeing that his soldiers were vicious, Di Wulun pulled them and reminded him again: "I took it home seriously. If he committed suicide or was injured, I would like to ask you."

Song Hong was not cooperative, but his Zhongzang Mansion Order was very cooperative, leading the way for the fifth reunion and leading a group of soldiers into the inner treasury.

"What is the name of Zhongzangfu Order?"

"The general, the villain is named Gold."

What a good name! The fifth reunion is gold!

The Gonggong Mansion located in the palace is a large area with warehouses. The Zhongshang Office and the Youshang Office store the suburbs of Guibi and ritual instruments, as well as the carvings of concubines and concubines. The former is numerous and complex, while the latter is few and simple, which shows where Wang Mang is interested.

Zhongzang Mansion specializes in storing money, and the money is not to be looked at. With Wang Mang's trouble, the copper coins have been completely abandoned. Many prefectures and counties have returned to bartering. Everyone is afraid of Wang Mang and wants to rebuild the financial system, but it is a big project.

But there is a precious metal that is a symbol of wealth and can withstand the chaotic times. Even after two thousand years, it can still maintain its value and shine brightly.

When the doors were opened and when the thick linen was opened, golden light flashed in the treasury with the afternoon sun.

Those who could follow him were the most trusted military officers of the fifth reunion, but even the chief guard Zang was furious and widened his big eyes.

Gold is all golden cakes stored and stacked like a hill! Zang Nu reads little, and doesn’t know how to describe it, just like, like...

"Just like the bark cakes sold at the stalls in Xinqinzhong County!"

They were round and hot. Some soldiers couldn't help but touch them. They seemed to have been burned. They shrank back themselves. Even if they didn't shrink, they were staring fiercely by Zang Nu and put them down angrily, but they were all swallowing their saliva, really wanting to grab a handful and put it in their arms.

The fifth reunion picked up a golden cake and weighed it. One pound (256 grams), which was equivalent to about two taels of later generations. It was also of excellent quality and should have a high purity.

"How many golden cakes are there in Zhongzang Mansion?"

Zhongzangfu Order reported: "The large cabinet that stores gold is a treasure, and one treasure can store ten thousand gold cakes, and sixty treasures are 600,000."

He looked at the book in his hand: "Previously, the emperor... Wang Mang cried to the sky and distributed the Northern Army schools, and used more than 100,000 pieces, but now there are still 487,600 pieces left."

Finally, he added: "It was all taken into account by Mr. Song himself, and there was no false report."

Song Hong was indeed a clear stream in the Daxin officialdom. The fifth reunion nodded and heard from the Zhongzang Mansion that most of the golden cakes were from the legacy of the Han Dynasty.

"In the Han Dynasty, there were gold officials and copper officials. The gold mines in the world were under the jurisdiction of Shaofu. The gold from Ru Han, Lishui, and the gold mined from various places gathered into the palace, which accounted for half."

"There are still half of them, from local tribute and taxes. Hanwu established the oxidation system, and all the princes and marquises in the world had to pay gold cakes to the court. If the quality was different, they would directly cut their titles. How could they dare to fake it?"

"I can only spend all my time to get it together. There are many marquises in the Han Dynasty, and the Shaofu can collect more than a thousand gold cakes every year, which lasts for a hundred years."

Yan, Zhao's collection, Han, Wei's management, Qi, Chu's elites, and princes plundered their people for generations and years, leaning like mountains, and were forced to lose. No wonder the Han Dynasty emperors were quite generous in using gold, and they could only marry a queen for tens of thousands of gold.

What’s even more interesting is that a small part of the gold is actually foreign exchange!

The Zhongzangfu Order said: "From the Western Regions, the Hu people were greedy for vanity and liked silk in the Central Plains. Since Emperor Xuan of Han, Hu Shang bought silk in Yumen and Dunhuang for gold, and he had been able to get hundreds of gold every year."

He also showed the fifth reunion the gold coins from Anxi, Daxia, and Daqin that carved human faces and letters, and many of the golden cakes were melted and recast.

Of course, after Wang Mang came to power, the Silk Road was interrupted due to rebellion in the Western Regions, and foreign exchange was extinct.

However, Wang Mang announced that he had committed the law and collected it from the prefectures and counties again. In this way, gold in the world was basically concentrated in the court.

If the gold used for carvings in Huangmen, Hook Shield, Zhongshangfang and other places are added, the total number is probably 600,000 kilograms. In the peaceful season, a golden cake is worth about 10,000 yuan. Now the currency system has collapsed and copper coins are depreciated, but the value of gold is still there, and it is a hard currency like silk cloth and grain.

Wu Lun only lamented how lucky he was to meet the time when the central government's gold reserves were extremely strong. Wang Mang was always reluctant to use these golds, but now all the money was cheaper!

Wu Lun just wanted to support the Green Forest, Red Eyebrows, countless armored soldiers and equipment, and left him with so much food and silk. Wang Mang, the transport team leader who left him with so much food and silk, said sincerely.

"Thank you!"

...

The fifth reunion heard that Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, was beaten by Xiang Yu in the Chu-Han fight, and fled everywhere. The adviser Chen Ping suggested using gold to win over the ministers under Xiang Yu. Liu Bang happily agreed and took out 40,000 gold cakes at once and gave them to Chen Ping to use them casually without asking where they were.

Sure enough, the charm of gold is huge. Many of Xiang Yu's advisers and generals were dissuaded and turned against each other, achieving Liu Bang's great cause.

During the Wu Dynasty of Han Dynasty, General Wei Qing attacked the Huns in the south of the desert. When Liu Che was happy, he rewarded the entire army with 200,000 kilograms of gold.

As the saying goes, the rewards are not overtime. At night, Ren Guang and the eighth Jiao had returned from the task of completing the books of various officials and Tianlu Pavilion. The fifth reunion asked them to make a calculation.

"In addition to the clan soldiers, I still have about 40,000 people under my command."

"The guaranteed reward is a gold cake for each person, plus a piece of silk cloth hidden in the Gonggong Mansion, everyone cannot miss it."

"Add to make a contribution, and add a piece of silk cloth."

"The eight hundred military officials who came from the west came from different merits, with the fewer being five and the most being ten."

As for senior officers above the position of Sima of the Army, there are more rewards.

As a result, 100,000 gold and almost all the remaining silk cloths in the Communist Government - many of them were betrothal gifts that Wang Mang planned to marry the new queen! The soldiers of the three armies had to hold them for a long time before they could finish the hug.

The fifth gold relationship is a little bit difficult, because it is difficult to get it again in the short term. Use one less and one more silk cloth to be used, and then occupy the territory to encourage mulberry and hemp, and continue to weave it through energy sources.

But there is another problem. Ren Guang reminded the fifth reunion: "Wang Mang also gave more than 100,000 gold to reward the Northern Army's schools. I heard that each person could get four golds. The amount of gold transported from the Gonggong Mansion was reduced by half when it arrived at the front line. When it was handed to the soldiers, there was only half a gold cake at most, and some people even got nothing. Therefore, they were resentful and refused to fight hard, so our army could easily cross the Wei River."

If you don’t worry about being weak but not being equal, and unfair rewards and punishments will cause major troubles. But in the fifth team, if you let the lower-minded people do it as foolishly as Wang Mang, you may repeat the same mistakes when human greed occurs.

So the fifth reunion came up with an extremely clumsy but absolutely useful method.

"I'll send it myself!"

The fifth eunuch said: "The first batch of people who will give the guaranteed guarantee will be paid. From tomorrow on, I will take people to carry gold to inspect various departments. Be sure to watch the golden cake with your own eyes and send it to every soldier!"
