Chen Ding said with a serious look on his face: "This time I went to meet Mr. Chu with Mr. Jiao. Even though I was old, I didn't have high hopes, but I never thought that Your Majesty had already made arrangements for the confiscated property.
!”
Everyone stared at Chen Ding. The emperor had already made arrangements. Could it be that as they thought, all the money would be put into the emperor's private treasury?
With a sigh, Chen Ding said slowly: "My lords, the total proceeds from the confiscation of Lu Wenyang's family property is 35 million taels. Your Majesty has decided to transfer more than 20 million taels of silver into the national treasury, and the remaining
If jade and jewelry are added to the emperor's private treasury, your majesty is truly a wise king!"
"What!"
"More than 20 million taels, put into the national treasury?"
Suddenly, several cabinet elders were stunned and looked at Chen Ding in astonishment. If these words had not come from the mouth of Chen Ding, who had always been rigid, they would have suspected whether Chen Ding was deceiving them.
.
Chen Ding snorted coldly and said: "How dare Chen dare to spread the emperor's will indiscriminately? Now more than 20 million taels of silver are at the ferry. Manager Chu only mobilized hundreds of taels of carriages, but it is not enough to transfer all the taels of silver."
The property has been transported back to the capital, so all your lords, please think about how to transport the silver coins into the treasury of the household department!"
A cabinet minister immediately shouted: "Notify the Ministry of Works immediately and ask the Ministry of Works to find a way to mobilize the carriages and horses. No matter what, we must transport the silver into the Treasury of the Ministry of Households in the shortest possible time."
"The Ministry of Industry may not be able to mobilize so many carriages and horses at one time. We can temporarily rent carriages and horses from several commercial houses in Beijing in the name of the imperial court!"
With your words and my words, we will soon have a perfect and feasible solution.
Chen Ding nodded slightly and said: "Immediately give orders and send people to mobilize the carriages and horses immediately. Before dark, all the silver must be transported to the bank of the household department."
That was more than 20 million taels of grain silver. At this moment, several pavilion elders were shocked by it. When had the imperial court ever had so much grain silver?
To be honest, once the imperial court was up and running, the power it could mobilize was very strong. Whether it was the Ministry of Industry or the rental of private carriages and horses, in less than an hour after the orders of several cabinet elders were issued, hundreds of people could be mobilized.
The carriage, led by Chen Ding and other pavilion elders, headed straight for the dock outside the city.
As for Chen Ding's proposal to go to see the Emperor, all the elders agreed that it would be better to wait until all the money was put into the treasury for safekeeping before going to see the Emperor.
It took the long train of carriages the effort of a cup of tea to get out of the city gate. Such a big movement was bigger than when Chu Yizheng adjusted the carriages and horses before, and even attracted the attention of many people.
Originally, Chu Yi's recruitment of carriages had already attracted many people's attention, but now that several cabinet ministers personally went out to recruit carriages, this attracted even more attention.
In the tea house, many people watched the long motorcade leaving the city gate and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, if I read it correctly, there should be hundreds of carriages here!"
"Isn't the cabinet bringing a carriage to snatch the confiscated property from Chu Yi?"
Some people already knew that at the dock outside the city, several large ships returning from Tianjin Wei were parked. The large ships were loaded with confiscated property belonging to Lu Wenyang.
In everyone's consciousness, the confiscated property will naturally be put into the emperor's inner treasury. Now seeing several cabinet ministers leading a convoy out of the city, it doesn't look like they are helping Chu Yi, but they seem to be working with him.
Chu Yi went to rob gold and silver.
"Hahaha, if this is really the case, then there will be a joke."
"Come on, come on, let's take a bet on whether Manager Chu is more powerful, or whether the cabinet ministers are more powerful!"
When hundreds of majestic carriages came slowly, Chu Yi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the scene: "I didn't expect that the imperial court would move and the effect would be so high."
Jiao Fang smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this. It wasn't that the imperial court couldn't do things, but that most of everyone's thoughts were spent on how to camp and fight. There were too few people who were really willing to calm down and do things. Otherwise, with the resources the imperial court had, once
When mobilized, it is really terrifying.
More than a thousand years ago, the First Emperor was able to mobilize manpower to build the Great Wall, and Yang Guang was able to build the Grand Canal, which was thousands of miles away. This was all due to the power of the imperial court. If the imperial court had not mobilized manpower, such miraculous projects would not have been possible.
How could it appear in this world?
Chen Ding and all the cabinet members were present. Because Chu Yi had given instructions in advance, under the leadership of the army sergeants, the carriages dispatched by the cabinet came slowly one by one.
"I've met Mr. Chu!"
Several pavilion elders saluted Chu Yi. Even if they had any objections to Chu Yi, they did not dare to show it in front of Chu Yi. Even if they wanted to seek death, they should not provoke this murderer.
People usually kill one person at most, but this murderer always kills his whole family. If he doesn't want to live, he doesn't want to involve his family either.
Chu Yi glanced at the several pavilion elders, nodded slightly and said: "All the pavilion elders are here, and it just so happens that Chu can convey His Majesty's will."
As he spoke, Chu Yi said: "I think you all must have heard from Mr. Chen Ding that His Majesty means to transfer more than 20 million taels of silver into the national treasury, and I don't have any objections."
Several people's faces immediately showed joy when they heard this. Before everyone came, they were still a little hesitant. Now after hearing Chu Yi's words, they can finally feel at ease.
Chen Ding would not lie to them, and Chu Yi would not lie to them even more.
Seeing the expressions of several pavilion elders in his eyes, Chu Yi sneered and said: "Everyone, this is more than 20 million taels of silver. I don't think I need to say it, you can also imagine that wealth and silk are touching people's hearts, and these silvers are full of silver.
After entering the treasury, if anyone dares to take advantage of this money, then don’t blame me for being unpredicted, I won’t mind killing a few more people when the time comes!”
Several pavilion elders could not help but shudder, and the greed that had not arisen in their hearts immediately disappeared. Money is indeed tempting, but in comparison, life is still more important.
Although it is said that some people want money rather than their lives, they all cherish their lives very much. The key is that they were suppressed by the murderous aura in Chu Yi. This man can really say that he can do it. If he talks about killing a whole family, then
There won't be one missing, and the whole family is guaranteed to be reunited.
Since the cabinet had dispatched enough carriages, Chu Yi naturally ordered Han Kun to order the soldiers to load the boxes containing gold and silver onto these carriages.
As for Chen Ding and others, they took the account books one by one and checked them against the numbers on the boxes.
With so many boxes, it was naturally impossible to inspect them one by one. However, since tens of millions of taels of silver were involved, they could not be ignored. Each of the several pavilion elders took out a box every now and then to open it and check it out.
In front of Chen Ding, a large box was slowly opened in front of several Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, and the golden light suddenly shone brightly.
This box is filled with neatly arranged gold ingots. Each gold ingot is the same size, neatly arranged, and shining with golden light. It really makes people feel excited after seeing it.
This box contains tens of thousands of taels of gold. If everyone hadn't been monitoring each other, some of the people who kept it would have been tempted to pounce on it. The gold and silver really moved people's hearts.
Even Chen Ding couldn't help but feel his breath tightening. However, Chen Ding was in charge of the household department and had seen a lot of gold and silver in the household department's bank, so his determination was not bad. He reacted immediately and checked carefully.
, nodded slightly, and then sealed the box again.
Several other pavilion elders, like Chen Ding, randomly selected a box to check. It can be said that they randomly checked dozens of boxes, and there was no problem with any of them.
In fact, everyone knows that unless Han Kun, Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and even the emperor's personal army all unite together, otherwise, there will definitely be no problem with this batch of gold and silver property.
Under heavy siege by the army, it would be strange if someone could touch the gold and silver unless they were guarding and stealing.
When the big boxes were loaded onto the carriage one by one, they were lined up in a neat row, surrounded by soldiers holding swords on guard.
After being busy until the afternoon, I finally unloaded all the gold and silver belongings and compared them with the account books. The numbers were accurate. Han Kun, who was responsible for escorting these belongings, finally let out a sigh of relief at this time and his heart dropped.
Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake in the amount of property, he, the commander of the guards, may not be able to bear the consequences.
The carriage started slowly, and deep ruts could be seen immediately appearing on the ground. It was obvious that the boxes loaded on the carriage were extremely heavy.
Teams of soldiers guarded the surroundings. When they reached the official road, there were cavalry to clear the way. The surrounding area was under martial law. When pedestrians on the official road saw this situation, they didn't even need soldiers to drive them away. They hid in front of them one by one.
Stay away from these wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers.
Everyone looked at the long row of carriages, and then at the traces left by the covered carriages as they passed by. Many people were amazed in their hearts.
It is no secret that these carriages are carrying gold and silver property. Although the official road is far from the dock, it cannot hold hundreds of carriages gathered together to carry gold and silver property. The movement is so loud that even a fool can notice it.
.
Squeak, squeak, one carriage after another drove into the capital safely, and some of them were escorted by several cabinet elders to the bank of the Ministry of Finance. After entering the capital, although the security on the long street was the same, everyone could go far away.
Looking from a distance, he stared at the hundreds of carriages split into two, hundreds of them heading towards the palace, and hundreds of them heading towards the household department.
"Hey, could it be that a few pavilion bosses really stole the confiscated property from Chu Yi?"
"It's strange. With Chu Yi's usual strength, how could he allow these properties to enter the Treasury of the Household Department?"
