Chapter 739 Chiku

The plunder of loot is always the most exciting moment for the winning side.

As the Xiaba clan coalition deepened in an orderly manner, good news continued to come. Tuoba Xiongxin seemed to have no intentional destruction of the dead. In addition to some firearms and grain warehouses that were burned at the beginning of the battle, all the warehouses in Daerban City, the mansions of the Tuoba family's powerful mansions, and the warehouses of large-scale commercial banks controlled by the Tuoba family were still intact.

In addition to the Tuoba family's family's family's family background, according to Lin Yi and Xia Baying's meaning, the residences and shops of all other merchants and ordinary families in the city were protected. Even the residences where the whole family unfortunately died in this war were sealed. At that time, the Xia Ba tribe will try to find relatives and friends of these people.

As for all the surrendered Tuoba soldiers, including the residences of generals, they were also protected. Xia Baying's approach immediately made these Tuoba soldiers very grateful.

Among the surrendered Tuoba army, there were many high-level generals of the Tuoba clan. Several of them even quickly drew a map and listing the locations of almost all warehouses in Daerban City, as well as roughly what was there.

Although I had known for a long time that Daerban City is one of the most important cities of the Tuoba clan and even Dangxiang, especially the Tongmao Center, the Tuoba clan must have hoarded amazing resources in this city, the first few high-level Xiaba generals who saw this list still felt like they were blinding their eyes.

The Xiaba tribe is famous for being rich and powerful throughout Dangxiang and the Western Regions, but when it comes to this list, just in terms of money, these Xiaba generals felt ashamed.

Even as if it was like a dream, even though they knew that these Tuoba generals who had already been extremely awe of Lin Yi and Xia Baying could not have cheated in front of Lin Yi and Xia Baying, they all doubted whether the list was written on it.

Dangxiang is far away from any sea area. In addition to a few high mountain lakes, many lakes are formed by the convergence of glacier melt water. The melt water of this glacier slowly penetrates and flows down from the extremely high snow-capped mountains, so either dissolves a large amount of rock composition or brings a lot of mineral salt. Most of them are salt lakes. Although some are not salt lakes, they are also dead lakes that do not produce any fish and shellfish like lime water.

The rarer it is, the more precious it is. Therefore, pearls, some rare shellfish shells, and several rare corals have always been the top circulating currency in Dangxiang and the Western Regions. Although some beads made by the Xiaba people have become circulating currency, they are definitely not comparable to pearls, corals, etc.

What's more, the raw materials of some of the Xiaba beads themselves contain powders ground from pearls and corals.

But on this list, Tuoba actually has three warehouses in Daerban City to accumulate various colors of pearls and corals!

According to the descriptions of these Tuoba generals, according to the size of these warehouses, the high-level generals of the Xiaba clan felt that even if they piled up all such treasures from the entire Xiaba clan, they might not be able to fill one of the warehouses.

In addition, there are three warehouses in Daerban City that are specially used to place turquoise, imperial bluestone and various beautiful jades!

Buddhism in the Western Regions was first spread to the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the Tuyuhun and Dangxiang period, most of the magical instruments carried by many missionary monks were inlaid with turquoise. Turquoise was believed by these monks and believers to have a unique blessing effect, and long-term wear can bring blessings from the Buddha.

Many scholars in the Southern Dynasties initially studied the circulation of Buddhism in the Western Regions. Many of the notes left behind were malicious speculations, thinking that these missionary monks in the Western Regions were probably mysterious.

These scholars have speculated whether this kind of thing is actually quite large in the Western Regions. After they gave it such meaning, this kind of thing will naturally become a sacred gem with amazing value. In this way, these monks can take out some of it to solve the wealth they need to walk.

But later many facts confirmed that this turquoise actually produced very little in the Western Regions. On the contrary, some ore veins were found in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei dynasties, but most of them were associated ores of iron ore and copper ore. First, there was not much mining, and second, the surface of this turquoise ore was often wrapped in black mud or stone shells. Even if it was selected from these ores, it would take a lot of manpower.

After this confirmation, after Buddhism gradually became popular in the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties, the turquoise was actually quite valuable in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei.

Turquoise, a gem that is considered to be a blessing power by Western Buddhism, is unique in that it has different colors. Moreover, with long-term wear, the longer the person's qi and blood will be in contact, the more gentle it will be, and the color will change strangely.

But the fewer impurities and the more beautiful the turquoise color, the more amazing the price will naturally be.

Most of the turquoise accumulated in the Tuoba warehouse in Daerban City is extremely clear and blue, and is called the best gem of the blue beauties in the Western Regions.

As for imperial bluestone, it is indeed produced in large quantities in the Western Regions. The Southern Dynasties are generally called lapis lazuli. This ore exists in the Western Regions at an astonishing amount, but most of them are blue-purple with platinum dots of platinum. This common lapis lazuli is cheap, but there are also top-quality ones, pure blue-purple, and even dark purple and purple-black.

Rare things are precious. This so-called gem was not very recognized by the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Not many people would spend a lot of money to buy it, but it was very popular in the Western Regions. Using this imperial bluestone to do business with some kingdoms in the Western Regions is just treating pearls.

These Xiaba generals roughly estimate that if all the treasures in the warehouse can be sold, they may be able to support at least tens of thousands of elite troops.

In addition to these treasures, some ordinary armor, weapons stored by the Tuoba family in Daerban City, as well as the refined black iron and fine copper from the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty were also amazing. There was a warehouse area called Twenty-Three Rooms.

Only four or five of these twenty or thirty warehouses were not full at this time.

Lin Yi could not imagine such a level of treasures and war materials.

He intuition that the collection and accumulation of these royal families of Dangxiang over countless years was too ruthless. If it weren't for the collection and the bitter cold of Dangxiang's plateau, Dangxiang would have really not been able to increase the population, otherwise Dangxiang would have long become a major disaster for the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, on this list, two of them were the warehouses that attracted him, Bai Yuelu, Xia Baying and others the most.

A warehouse is called a library. According to the high-level generals of the Tuoba clan, it is a place where various classics are accumulated. These classics are very mixed, including many of them that have been plundered from the practice.
