Dugu Mingren, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has completed the takeover of various places in Henan Prefecture. He followed Guo Song into the city with a group of officials. He will be temporarily responsible for the handover and restoration of Luoyang, and has been the county magistrate for five years and ten thousand years.
Wei An, who was famous for his shrewdness and ability, was promoted to the governor of Henan and the order of Luoyang.
At this time, Dugu Mingren and Wei An took over Liu Feng's Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yang Mi, who had just been promoted to Luoyang County Prime Minister, was introducing them to the composition of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Feng's Prime Minister's Mansion was called a de facto small court. The court's money, food, documents, and important decision-making bodies were all moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Luoyang court became an empty frame.
"That's Zuozangku over there!"
Yang Mi pointed to several large warehouses covering an area of about ten acres in the distance and said with a smile: "It has the same name as the Zuozang warehouse of the imperial court, but there is nothing left in the Zuozang warehouse of the imperial court, only rows of empty wood.
On the shelf, although there are not many things in Zuozang's library, there are still 200,000 guan of old money, 80,000 taels of gold, 800,000 jin of copper ingots, and a lot of silks, cloths, porcelain, bronzes, jades, etc.
And other valuables, I have calculated that these cloth utensils are worth about 800,000 yuan."
Dugu Mingren frowned and said, "The imperial Zuozangku has only such a small amount of wealth left?"
"You don't know that there was actually a large batch before, but it was mortgaged to Baoji Cabinet to borrow money. The imperial family's property was actually in the inner treasury and was privately occupied by Zhu Si. Many of them were seized by the emperor's relatives.
Let’s go, in addition, there are some large goods in Zuozang’s warehouse that have no market price, so there is no conversion.”
"Prime Minister Yang County must be talking about the Agarwood Pavilion that originally belonged to Xingqing Palace!" Wei An said with a slight smile.
"Exactly! In addition, there are piles of other precious woods. There are more than 800 red sandalwood logs alone. There are also nine great cauldrons carved from white jade, as well as hundreds of complete cauldrons.
Ivory, these precious things cannot be converted into value."
The valuable materials Yang Mi mentioned were left behind by Wu Zetian in the past and were not easy to deal with, so they have been stored in the Zuozang warehouse in Luoyang as court assets.
At this time, Jiang Min came back with Liu Feng. Liu Feng had changed into ordinary clothes. He was now an ordinary Luoyang civilian. Moreover, Guo Song thought that he had made great contributions to protecting the inner treasury and granted him the title of Count of Xin'an County.
He was given a ten-acre official residence to save his face.
Compared with the panic before, Liu Feng was now radiant and happy. Jiang Min saluted Dugu Mingren and told him about His Royal Highness King Jin's treatment of Liu Feng. Dugu Mingren nodded and said to Liu Feng: "His Royal Highness King Jin.
We are kind and kind, and hope that Mr. Liu will help us restore order in Luoyang as soon as possible and complete the handover perfectly."
Liu Feng hurriedly saluted and said: "I will definitely do my best to hand over the work to repay the kindness of His Highness King Jin!"
"As long as you have this awareness, come and take a look at the warehouse with us first!"
Everyone went to the warehouse again. Yang Mi pulled Liu Feng aside and said with some shame: "I hid some things from Mr. Liu. I'm really sorry!"
Liu Feng had already heard what Jiang Min said about Yang Mi on the way. The initial shock had passed. Moreover, Yang Mi had been named the Prime Minister of Luoyang County, and his family would have to rely on him to take care of him in the future.
He took Yang Mi's hand and said sincerely: "I have always been the person I trust the most. This has been the case before and will be the same in the future. Thanks to my intercession for me and the grace of His Highness King Jin, I have been forgiven. Please be kind to me in the future."
care."
Yang Mi didn't know what to say, so she patted his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone looked at the warehouse and document library, and then went back to the lobby to rest. At this time, a guard of the King of Jin came galloping over on horseback and said to Dugu Mingren: "Prime Minister Dugu, Your Highness, please come over immediately!"
Dugu Mingren nodded, "Let's go there now!"
The guard said to Liu Feng again: "The King of Jin invites Mr. Liu to come with him."
Liu Feng was so flattered that he quickly followed everyone back to Jinwang's boat.
In the main cabin, Guo Song was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands. He was really annoyed that Xiao Wanding and his son had disappeared. No one in the house knew their whereabouts. It was like they disappeared out of thin air.
Of course Guo Song knew that they were hiding in Luoyang City, but how to find them really gave Guo Song a headache. Luoyang still had a population of 300,000, and trying to find two missing people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, the guard reported, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Dugu and the others are here!"
"Let them in!"
Dugu Mingren and others walked out of the main cabin, bowed and saluted, "See you, Your Highness!"
Guo Song said slowly: "I came to you because I have a few troublesome things. First, Xiao Wanding and his son are missing. They are probably hiding somewhere in Luoyang. How to find them? Second, there are those in the treasury of the royal relatives.
, they only have a few hundred coins left, which is still new money. Where did their wealth go?"
Speaking of this, Guo Song glanced at Liu Feng, "Can Mr. Liu provide some clues?"
Liu Feng's heart trembled, and he said with a grimace: "Their tricks... The common people actually knew that they bought a private house in advance, secretly moved the family's wealth there, or dug three feet into the ground to bury it.
, Xiao Wanding and his son should be hiding there, in fact, Xiaomin did the same, Xiaomin did not dare to hide it."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "If you can help us find them with merit, maybe I can return half of the wealth you buried to you."
Liu Feng was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Actually, there is still a way. One way is that His Highness can start from the house deeds. They all bought private houses in the past two months, or directly occupy the vacant houses of others. His Highness can send people door-to-door.
If you check, you will definitely gain something.”
"Is there another way?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"Another way is to give a heavy reward for reporting. They need manpower to transfer wealth, and at the worst they need a coachman. They must have given some hush money afterwards, but no one will think it's a lot of money. As long as His Highness gives a heavy reward, five hundred guan or more
Qian Guan, there will definitely be a brave man under the heavy reward!"
Guo Song nodded and asked Jiang Min and Yang Mi, "What are your opinions?"
Jiang Min bowed and said: "Reporting to your highness, both methods are effective, but the first method is more troublesome, time-consuming, and there will be major omissions. They must have changed their appearance, or buried the wealth deep enough that it is not easy to find.
I support the second option."
Yang Mi also added: "The second plan is more practical. Qiu Jingzhong's wealth was buried by him in advance. We used a reward of 500 yuan, and the coachman reported him. If he still can't find it,
His Highness simply tortured me directly."
Guo Song nodded, "Then try the second option first!"
Guo Song then said to Dugu Mingren: "I will give you a complete list, and then you set up several teams to go to each house to implement the reward plan. If you report the implementation, you will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!"
........
The Xiao Mansion is the former General Zhang Guangsheng's mansion. It is located in Shangshanfang and is a huge mansion covering an area of 50 acres. Xiao Wanding and his eldest son Xiao Fulin have escaped. Only the family members of Xiao Wanding and his son are left in the mansion, as well as hundreds of maids and servants.
Wait a minute.
Zhou Fei took the initiative to ask Ying to arrest Xiao and his son. He killed Xiao Huju with his own hands, and he wanted to capture Xiao Wanding and his son with his own hands again.
In the spacious atrium of Xiao Mansion, more than 500 maids, servants, and servants gathered together. Zhou Fei said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, listen, everyone will be dismissed tomorrow. Each person only has a severance pay of five guan, but
, you still have a chance to make a fortune now.
Whoever can provide clues to help us catch the Xiaos and his son, or find the money they have hidden, once confirmed, we will give a reward of at least five hundred taels of silver. If five people provide the same clue, then the five people's
The rewards are all five hundred taels of silver.
If the information provided not only catches Xiao and his son, but also finds their hidden wealth, then the reward is one thousand taels of silver, which we will keep strictly confidential. Think about it! One thousand taels of silver can buy 500 acres of land for you.
I and my family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Please rest assured, this is the promise of King Jin, and no one dares to break it!"
The servants were in an uproar, and everyone murmured that this reward was so exciting.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Fei continued: "Let's all go into the room one by one and talk. Those who know will be rewarded heavily. It doesn't matter if you don't know."
The servants all lined up in a long line and began to enter the room one by one to tell their stories. At this time, a groom walked into the room. As soon as he entered the door, he could not hold back his inner expectations and said impatiently: "We know they
Where are the father and son hiding? I sent them there."
