Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 235 Xiang Yu Suffers Another Tragedy

Two billion taels! Even Tang Yu would be shocked to see such a number.

After all, 2.3 billion taels doesn't seem like much.

However, that was from the perspective of Tang Yu's former planet, Blue Star, and its purchasing power.

Two billion taels of silver, its economic value in that era was roughly equivalent to over one trillion RMB in later generations.

It was almost three years' worth of tax revenue for the entire Qin state.

This was after Qin had conquered the six states.

If it were the Qin state of the past, it would have taken who knows how long to accumulate 2.3 billion taels of silver.

But now, in less than a week, Tang Yu has taken it from the hands of these officials.

Tang Yu watched their departing figures, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't that he had a problem with these officials.

Tang Yu knew many of them and considered them to be upright and honest officials.

But the total amount of money they've donated is making Tang Yu a little scared.

He was worried about where the money these people were donating actually came from.

Are they donating money, or the blood and sweat of ordinary people?

He had already become somewhat lax in his training of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

After all, he felt that he now had more than two thousand elite Imperial Guards.

Once new recruits are brought in, they can undergo further training, thus creating a continuous stream of Imperial Guards to monitor the world.

But now, he has decided to speed up this process.

When the time comes, those corrupt officials who truly want to take money from the people, exploit them, and drink their blood will pay a heavy price.

While not necessarily emulating Zhu Yuanzhang's brutal methods of skinning people alive, things certainly shouldn't be too easy either.

In the Qin state, if you were a noble or an official, you were destined to be extraordinary and exceptional.

Moreover, the money given by Brother Zheng was more than enough.

In this situation, intentionally and blatantly accumulating wealth is truly courting death.

……

Of the 2.3 billion taels, nearly 300 million taels are still not in Tang Yu's hands.

In the hands of Xiang Yu, Tang Yu's good older brother.

It's just about time.

Tang Yu checked the time and realized that Xiang Yu had already made contact with the Mohists and had even begun storing money.

Tang Yu's prediction was correct; at this moment, Xiang Yu was standing in the cave from that day, talking with Sun Qiang.

"Elder Sun, your Mo family disciple's spirit and energy have improved a lot these past few days. He seems to have a lot more strength now."

Looking at the Mohist disciples before him, who should have been emaciated and bloodless, Xiang Yu laughed heartily.

Looking at the heroic Xiang Yu, Sun Qiang felt a pang of heartache and pity.

After all, the other party's experience was already too tragic, tragic on top of tragic.

However, for the sake of peace, and for the sake of all the people and the common people, Sun Qiang still decided to follow Tang Yu's advice and trick Xiang Yu out of the three hundred million taels.

"Young Master Xiang, isn't that all because of your and Young Master Zhao's arrival?"

"Your arrival lets us know that it is not only our Mohist school that is resisting the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, but also other talented people and extraordinary individuals all over the world who are dissatisfied with this damned tyrannical Qin Dynasty."

"So these past few days we suddenly had something to look forward to, and we also went into the city to buy a lot of meat, which is why we young men are so energetic."

Hearing Sun Qiang's words, Xiang Yu laughed heartily again.

"Haha, hahaha, Elder Sun, you're exaggerating. After all, I, Xiang Yu, am just an ordinary person, not at the level Elder Sun is talking about."

"However, I have come here today to ask Elder Sun a special favor."

As Xiang Yu finished speaking, he glanced around warily.

Sun Qiang's heart skipped a beat.

coming.

Seeing Xiang Yu's wary expression, he immediately waved to the dozen or so Mohist disciples who were putting on an act with him.

"Go out and keep watch. Don't let anyone get close."

Seeing this, Xiang Yu was even more satisfied with Sun Qiang. After nodding, he raised his eyes to look at Sun Qiang.

"Elder Sun, the purpose of my visit today is to store something here in your Mo family, something very important."

Although he already knew what it was, Sun Qiang pretended to be stupid.

"What does Young Master Xiang wish to store?"

"Money, lots of money."

"Oh? I never expected that Young Master Xiang would have such strength."

Sun Qiang nodded and then followed Xiang Yu outside.

Upon seeing the three hundred million taels, Sun Qiang also appropriately revealed his shocked expression.

After expressing his admiration for Xiang Yu and saying that he would definitely protect the three hundred million taels, Sun Qiang sent someone to take over the three hundred million taels.

Finally, with him and Xiang Yu as witnesses, they stored the three hundred million taels in the cave where the Mo family was located.

As Xiang Yu left the Mohist school, he laughed heartily with satisfaction.

"Hahaha, Tang Yu, you finally got tricked by me."

"You wanted to ask the nobles of the six states for three hundred million taels of silver, but now it's all in my hands, Xiang Yu."

"All your hard work has ultimately benefited me, Xiang Yu. Hahaha, I'm truly a genius."

As Xiang Yu laughed wildly, the three hundred million taels of silver he had just placed were already being transported to Xianyang by Sun Qiang's men.

It can be said that Xiang Yu returned to Xianyang City before Xiang Yu could.

If Xiang Yu knew this scene, he would probably collapse completely, and even lose the will to fight Tang Yu.

This whole bunch of traitors are insiders, what a load of crap.

……

After releasing the eagle, Tang Yu unfolded the letter in his hand.

He couldn't help but smile, and as he looked at the distant sky, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Xiang, it's not that we're not loyal to each other. It's just that we're destined to walk different paths and can't work together."

"It's a pity you always lose to your brother, by just one move. Why don't you just surrender sooner?"

As Tang Yu slowly burned the letter, the remaining contents were revealed.

It was Sun Qiang who told Tang Yu that his deal with Xiang Yu was complete and that the goods were already being transported to Xianyang.

At this moment, Tang Yu held 2.3 billion in assets and was filled with ambition.

Now it is time for me to meet Ying Zheng and Fusu.

Tang Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Xianyang Palace.

When he arrived in front of Xianyang Palace, he saw Fusu and Ying Zheng standing neatly together, glancing outside from time to time.

They were obviously waiting for me.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why is Brother Zheng here to greet me from so far away? This is really not what I know about you."

"Hahaha, Mr. Tang, what are you saying? I'm not welcoming Mr. Tang, but the God of Wealth of my Great Qin!"

Fusu, standing to the side, smiled at Tang Yu, his expression filled with admiration.

"That's right, teacher. Even if Fusu racked his brains, he couldn't think of any way to raise 1 billion in two days."

"Teacher, you are truly a genius."
