Chapter 150 Huge amount of money is now, Yan Shun is shocked
"How much?" Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace. In less than two hours, he received a report from Wang Jinchang and heard that a total of 9,800 pieces of gold had been found in the Guo Rui Mansion in Xuan Mansion.
More than seventy taels, and more than 231,540 taels of silver. After hearing the news, Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a few seconds before his husband reacted.
"There are more than 9,870 taels of gold and more than 231,540 taels of silver. If all of them are converted into silver, it would be a huge amount of 330,000 taels. Listen to what Mr. Wang and Guo Rui said,
There were originally more than 130,000 taels of silver here, but because they heard that Xuanfu was planning to open a border trade, this time they brought nearly 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver." Wang Jinchang had a strange expression on his face.
The muscles on his body twitched from time to time, just like the early stage lesions of a hemiplegic stroke patient, and his eyes were a little red, as if Gangdan had played mahjong for two nights. It seemed that so much gold and silver meant so much to Wang Jinchang
, is also a big stimulus.
If he hadn't been a high-ranking official in the court, facing the gold and silver piled up like a hill, he might have thought of carrying out a masked robbery with a knife.
"This does not include the antiques and appliances in the mansion. Weichen really doesn't understand these things, so I can't estimate their value yet.
However, just for his big house in Xuan Mansion, there are only a few thousand taels of silver, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get it."
"So much..." Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but touch his forehead. Your sister, more than 9,870 taels of gold. When converted, wouldn't it be nearly 500 kilograms of gold? Plus, plus
That more than 230,000 taels of silver, wow, wow, wow, how many RMB and how many US dollars is this worth?
Prices at this time were not as high as those in later generations. One tael of silver could even buy four kilos of rice in the past few years. One kilo of rice in the Ming Dynasty weighed 120 kilograms, but the "jin" in the Ming Dynasty... was heavier than the "market jin" in later generations.
Quite a lot. One kilogram in the Ming Dynasty was close to one ear and six taels in later generations. After conversion, one stone is almost equal to more than 180 kilograms. Four stones of rice is almost equivalent to 750 kilograms of rice, which is enough for an adult.
One year's ration consumption.
According to the current purchasing power of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty, this is equivalent to the net worth of a moderately wealthy man in the Ming Dynasty. When he thought of this, the anger in Zhu Qizhen's stomach surged up again, and he lay down for a while.
Come back, this is just the annex of Guo Shun, the Datong garrison eunuch, located in Xuanfu. This guy stayed in Datong for about the same time as Yan Shun... Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen's eyes also turned red.
It was as if someone had thrown burning coals into the eyes, causing pain and burning. "Are these your subordinates who went to search?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. They are all my confidants, as well as the royal guards of Xuan Mansion. After all, what the border troops did is really a bit..." Wang Jinchang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Zhu Qizhen nodded, summoned Wang Jinchang to come to him, and whispered: "You have done a good job, you can think of this. So, give 10,000 taels of silver to the Jin Yiwei of Xuanfu, and 10,000 taels to Xuanfu."
The magistrate, and others, please leave another ten thousand taels of silver for you and your brothers. After all, they contributed a lot today."
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Wang Jinchang hurriedly bowed down: "How can this make your Majesty, how dare these ministers take the property?" Baidu Tieba Best Mingjun Bar Update
"Since you are Lian's subordinate, you should listen to Lian's words and take them if they are asked. Lian will not send hungry soldiers, you know?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sternly shouted. Yuan Bin next to him said
He helped Wang Jinchang up with a smile and said: "General Wang, you should listen to His Majesty the Emperor. After all, the brothers have also stepped out of their strength, and they have found so much silver. Your Majesty's reward is so small.
This is what the soldiers deserve, do you understand?"
After hearing Yuan Bin's words and seeing the anger on Zhu Qizhen's face, Wang Jinchang bowed and thanked him again. "I thank His Majesty the Emperor for the reward. When I return, I will definitely express your Majesty's favor to all the soldiers.
Let the sergeants appreciate His Majesty’s grace.”
"Okay, get up quickly. Yuan Bin, please go with General Wang and send the silver collected from the Guo Mansion to the Jin Yiwei of the Xuan Mansion and the Xuan Mansion Magistrate's Yamen. This can be used to appease their hearts and save them from worrying.
Lian Qiu will settle their old debts, and also ask them to work for Lian Qiu to verify what bad things Guo Rui did in Xuan Mansion. Do you understand?"
Leader Yuan Binxin nodded in agreement, took Wang Jinchang and left. Zhu Qizhen then patted the table in a vented manner. "Guo Shun, Yan Shun, look at the names given to them, but Lian didn't think who it was."
Something that pleases me."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." Qian Niang, who was walking into the hall carrying a tray, heard Zhu Qizhen's words and was so frightened that she almost threw away the tray in her hand, her beautiful eyes widening. "You.
It’s out of character.”
Zhu Qizhen touched his nose with some embarrassment, laughed twice and said: "It's a disgrace. Speaking of which, it's not all because of those gangsters Youxi. You should know that Guo Youxi was arrested today.
Shun’s stepson Guo Rui, right?”
"By the way, what's wrong? Could it be that he annoyed His Majesty again?" Qian Niang nodded, put the tray away, picked up the iced bowl of Tremella Lotus Seed Soup and handed it to Zhu Qizhen's hand.
, with a curious look on his face.
"How much money were found in the mansion alone? If you knew, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better." Zhu Qizhen took it and took a sip. The slightest chill in his bones made his irritable body feel a little better.
When the coolness came, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed happily. Although there are no refrigerators in this era, who among the rich families doesn't have an ice kiln?
In the summer, they rely on the ice to cool down. Although this kind of refrigerator cannot be moved normally, at least it allows Zhu Qizhen to enjoy a cool feeling like the ice shower in the 21st century.
After hearing the amount Zhu Qizhen said, Qian Niang couldn't help being shocked. "So much? How could he, a Datong garrison eunuch, be so rich, no matter how rich he is?"
"Huh, how should I put it? In a word, all this money will definitely not be clean." Zhu Qizhen smiled coldly. "Lian is really looking forward to it. I wonder if these five guards and garrison eunuchs in Xuanfu Border Town can give
What kind of surprises will the association bring?" Baidu Tieba Best Mingjun Bar update
Yan Shun was sitting in his back hall, looking at everything around him with somewhat sluggish eyes. This was a hall decorated to the extreme with luxury. It was also his favorite place to stay in summer. The curtains inside were anything else.
The silk fabrics are all of the highest quality, and the hooks are all made of gold and silver. His favorite bed is made of the highest quality sandalwood, with patterns on it.
It is also decorated with gold and silver. In short, this is not a small flower hall. The gold and silver used for decoration alone are worth thousands of taels each.
Not counting the exquisite furnishings, the dishes inlaid with gems and agate, and even the jade pillow used for taking a nap, it is also the top-grade Hetian jade, carefully carved by famous craftsmen. Just this exquisite
When a jade pillow is put on the market, it is no exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of gold.
Usually, when Yan Shun sees all this, he will feel extremely satisfied. Even if he stays here for a whole day, he will not get tired of it. For a person like Yan Shun who has lost his penis and can no longer have children, even
The eunuch, who had no ability to perform sexual intercourse, could only transfer his passion completely to his obsession with money.
It took Yan Shun nearly twenty-five years to climb up step by step until he became the guarding eunuch on the side of the town. However, in just a few years in the border town of Xuanfu, Yan Shun accumulated a lot of experience.
Wealth, I'm afraid if he doesn't look through his account books, he won't even know how much money he has.
But one thing is certain, there are at least five to six hundred thousand taels. If it weren't for Yang Hong's great power in the Xuan Mansion and his prestige, no one could resist it. Therefore, Yan Shun would not dare to do what Guo Shun did in the Xuan Mansion.
Datong was as unscrupulous as ever, but no matter what, he was still able to accumulate these five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, which can be considered a skill.
And for more than half a year, after that old guy Yang Hong left, Jiang Fu was a good old man who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. He was manipulated by Yan Shun. At least Luo Hengxin was unable to support himself alone. Yan Shun still thought about taking advantage of the situation.
Seize this good opportunity to flex your muscles, and strive to be like your predecessors, earn enough money to support your retirement, and build some temples to build blessings for yourself in the next life.
But who would have thought that Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor, would actually come to Xuan Mansion and stay here without leaving. However, a few days ago, some trading company was created, which made Yan Shun feel very unhappy.
Only then did he secretly instruct everyone not to participate in the trading company, or at least to make the Supreme Emperor retreat when he saw the difficulty.
Things seemed to be going quite smoothly... In the past few days, in the land of Xuanfu, no one among the officials present that day stated that they were willing to invest in the trading company, which made Yan Shun feel relieved.
However, since the Supreme Emperor announced that he would allow the civil and military officials of the Xuanfu government to freely participate in the trading company, no official has come forward to respond in the past few days. He actually seemed to have no reaction at all, which really made Yan Shun a little unpredictable.
And just yesterday, the majestic Emperor Zhu Qizhen didn't know which muscle he had, so he went on a private visit incognito. As a result, he happened to meet Guo Rui, who had just arrived at Xuan Mansion. What happened next?
Yan Shun was so dazzled that he could hardly react.
By the time Yan Shun came to his senses, Guo Rui, Master Wang and a group of Guo Mansion servants had already been imprisoned, and Guo Shun's residence in Xuan Mansion had also been inspected by the Supreme Emperor, who ordered Jin Yiwei and Wang Jinchang.
