After the officers from the Ministry of Punishment dug out the jewels, Chu Yuanzhou ordered people to dig out the well in the courtyard of Lu Mansion and took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Such a sum also surprised Chu Yuanzhou. He had sent people to check some of Luffy's belongings earlier, but he did not expect that Luffy's belongings would be so large. With so much money around him, Luffy would actually be greedy.
If you want to get more business, you deserve to end up like this.
The Minister of Punishment walked up to Chu Yuanzhou with the account book, bowed and said, "Sir, after a rough estimate, the Lu Mansion should have a total of 800,000 taels of silver."
Chu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "So many?"
The Minister of Punishment replied: "These are just the unearthed silver and jewels. The Lufu Bank and other properties have not been liquidated yet."
Chu Yuanzhou snorted and said, "I usually see Luffy as a fool, but I didn't expect that he has such a rich family background."
The Minister of Punishment smiled and said: "Lu Mansion has been doing business for many years. In the past, Mr. Lu Lu Zhiqian was a very good businessman. At that time, Lu Mansion was the richest businessman in Zhou Dynasty, but Luffy failed to live up to his expectations. He suffered many defeats in these years.
Otherwise, no matter what, you have to have more than one million taels."
Chu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows lightly and said calmly: "Now I understand somewhat why my father took Lu Zhu as his concubine in the first place. This is not a concubine. It is clearly like marrying a gold mountain, but if Lu Zhu is
If we had stayed safe, nothing would have happened in Lu Mansion today."
The Minister of Punishment did not dare to comment on the family affairs of the Chu Palace. He only pushed the account book to Chu Yuanzhou and said: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Lu is only a concubine of the Chu Palace and not a relative of the Chu Palace, over the years,
A lot of the money Luffy earned was earned under the care of King Chu. I wonder what the prince wants to do with the money?"
The Minister of Justice asked Chu Yuanzhou something profound. Chu Yuanzhou smiled and said, "How do you think we should handle it?"
The Minister of Punishment replied: "How about locking up 90% of the money in the Prince of Chu's Mansion?"
Chu Yuanzhou's eyes became colder, but he cursed: "Do you think the Prince of Chu's Palace would like this little money?"
The Minister of Punishment didn't know how to answer the question. The corners of Chu Yuanzhou's lips curled up slightly, but he said unhurriedly: "My father is not short of money, but I am really short of money recently."
The Minister of Punishment immediately understood and said: "Why don't you send this money to the silver bank of Bai Mansion later and exchange it for silver notes for the prince?"
Chu Yuanzhou's eyes squinted, and the Minister of Punishment was startled, and he said hurriedly: "The prince doesn't think much of these small coins at all. It's just that the money can be copied from the Lu Mansion today is all due to the prince. If there is no prince, I will be the official."
At most, we can only get a few hundred thousand taels of silver out of it."
Chu Yuanzhou said calmly: "It sounds reasonable, but you can't let your work go in vain. How about this? You can hand over the things you copied from the Lu Mansion today directly to the treasury, and then dig them out from under the bed and from the well.
How about converting what comes out into a banknote, 30% of it belongs to you, and 70% of it belongs to me?"
The Minister of Punishment's eyes lit up, but he hurriedly bowed his waist and said: "These are all discovered by the Crown Prince, and I don't dare to ask for them."
Chu Yuanzhou smiled and said: "I am the most free and easy in my behavior. I will never forget my friends. What's more, there are so many people here that you need to take care of. This matter is settled."
