The account book clearly stated that 18,825,679 taels of cash was written, and although all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, real estate, shops, and a series of things had not yet been counted, it was expected that it would not be less than 20 million taels.

Seeing this, Rao is Yang Feng couldn't help but exclaim, what is the name of a rich country, this is it. It's just three maritime merchants and more than a dozen salt merchants, and the property of these people is equivalent to the tax paid by the Ming Dynasty for seven or eight years, which is so terrible.

After putting down the account book, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no wonder the Ming Dynasty in another time and space would die in the country, all the money of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of these rich businessmen and gentry, these people occupied eighty percent of the land and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but they never thought about how to do something for the country and the court.

Most of the people, who accounted for 80 percent of the population of the Ming Dynasty, lived a life without clothing and food, and the soldiers guarding the border could not even eat enough. Especially after the end of the period, the climate of the Xiaoice River raged in Daming, hundreds of people became homeless, and in the end, the number of tens of millions of homeless people was stunned to overturn the Daming of Nuoda.

After reading it, Yang Feng pondered for a while, then asked Tian Ergeng to call over and handed him the account book.

And Tian Ergeng's reaction was even more unbearable, when he saw the numbers in the account book, he was even so frightened that even the account book fell to the ground.

"Hou ...... Marquis...... Master Hou, this ...... Is this true? Tian Ergeng's face flushed with a red tide that he didn't know whether it was fright or surprise, he bent down and picked up the account book again, but Yang Feng found that his hand holding the account book was still trembling slightly.

Yang Feng glanced at him angrily: "This is the final number that the Daming Royal Commercial Bank has mobilized dozens of accountants and shopkeepers to work hard for several days, do you say it is true or false?" ”

"If it's true, the emperor will definitely be happy after reporting to the court!" Tian Ergeng looked at the number on the account book and looked, a joy welled up in his heart, these days Tian Ergeng has been worried about his future career, after all, he suffered such a big loss in Shaoxing, five hundred brocade clothes pro-army was wiped out by a group of unknown people, this is simply an unprecedented shame for the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. In addition, Chen Fuyang and other three maritime merchants and more than a dozen salt merchants slipped away, I am afraid that the hat of incompetence will not be able to take off, and his position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard will not be able to sit steadily, but when he saw this account book, his mood immediately began to liven.

What does the imperial court need most today?

Do you need to ask, what you need most is silver, and you can't do anything without it? Although he lost 500 Jinyiwei, he then assisted Jiang Ninghou to overthrow Yu Shanqiu, the prefect of Shaoxing, and now he got 18 million taels of silver and more than 20 million taels of silver.

As soon as he thought of this, Tian Ergeng's heart began to beat, and a trace of heat appeared in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said tentatively to Yang Feng: "Master Hou, I don't know what you plan to do with this silver?" ”

Yang Feng glanced at him and said with a smile: "What...... Tian also has thoughts about this money? ”

"Huh...... Hou Ye doesn't want to make jokes about the lower officials, the lower officials don't dare to fight this silver even if they eat the leopard's guts! Tian Ergeng was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, his family knew his own affairs, he was just a commander of the brocade guard, to put it mildly, he was the minions and thugs of the Son of Heaven, how dare to use the brains of these silver, it was going to lose his head.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it from the way." Yang Feng said with a smile: "Lord Tian, although you have lost hundreds of Jinyi guards because of your mistakes before, but this time you assisted General Benhou to handle such a big case, that is the credit." Our Ming rule is that meritorious service must be rewarded and punished, how to punish you is His Majesty's business, but this time you and Jinyiwei have made a lot of contributions, so Ben Hou decided to allocate 100,000 taels of silver from these silver to those dead Jinyi Wei as a pension, as for your Tian Lord's bounty, Ben Hou is not good to overstep the blame, it is up to Your Majesty to decide, what does Tian think? ”

As soon as Yang Feng's words fell, he heard a "poof", Tian Ergeng knelt down towards Yang Feng, only to see him choked up and said: "Xiaguan thanked the adults for those dead robes!" ”

It is said that the officials of Daming are all excellent actors, and they are born with their own acting skills, but Tian Ergeng is really not a drill this time, he is really grateful to Yang Feng. You must know that although Jinyiwei also has its own pension, but now the Ming Dynasty's finances are not rich, and Jinyiwei can't send much silver, and now Yang Feng has allocated 100,000 taels of silver, and after distributing it below, each dead Jinyiwei also has 200 taels of pension silver, which is enough for their families to calmly arrange their future lives.

"Get up!" Seeing Tian Ergeng's excited appearance, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh a little, it was all forced by silver.

He thought about it again, and said: "And this time there can be such a big harvest, the Fujian Navy Division and the Jiangning Army have made great efforts, so Ben Hou will keep this silver into one percent, and all the rest will be decompressed to the capital, what does Lord Tian think?" ”

"This ......"

Tian Ergeng was silent this time, it stands to reason that Yang Feng made such a big effort this time, Jiang Ningjun and Fujian Navy Division intercepted one percent, this proportion is definitely not much, from the total number, this silver is definitely a lot, one percent is also more than three million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the tax of most of the Ming Dynasty for half a year. Tian Ergeng felt a little flustered just thinking about it, if he let those ministers in the court know, maybe he would set off some moths.

This time Tian Ergeng did guess correctly, when the imperial court knew that Yang Feng and Tian Ergeng had looted more than 38 million taels of silver in Shaoxing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military almost collectively lost their voices.

This is not 3,800 taels of silver, but more than 38 million taels of silver, to put it mildly, with this silver, there are too many things that Daming can do.

In fact, it is true that when the news came out of the cabinet, the entire Manchu Dynasty became crazy, and countless twists and turns flew to Zhu Youxiao's dragon case.

"Smack......

Zhu Youxiao slammed a stack of thick folds on the dragon case: "My hundred officials are really idle, the silver hasn't been shipped yet, these people are shouting that this is going to share the spoils, and they don't pee to see if they have that blessing!" ”

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side with his hands down, was taken aback by Zhu Youxiao's words, and hurriedly reminded: "If this word spreads, I don't know what gossip to say outside." ”

"Get it out." Zhu Youxiao sneered and looked around, and asked, "Who passed it out?" Is it you, Wei Zhongxian, or are you going to spread it? ”

"Slaves don't dare!" In the imperial study, the eunuchs who were in charge of serving Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but kneel on the ground, including Wei Zhongxian.

Since Zhu Youxiao was almost drowned last time by a eunuch who went to swim in the lake, Wei Zhongxian, who was almost scared to death, cleaned all the palaces several times, and there were not 1,000 but 800 who were killed or driven out of the palace.

The ones who can serve him in front of Zhu Youxiao in the imperial study are all his henchmen, and now that Zhu Youxiao says this, it is clear that he does not trust Wei Zhongxian, and our nine-thousand-year-old is naturally frightened.

Seeing that the imperial study was kneeling for a long time, Zhu Youxiao snorted lightly from his nose: "That's it, let's get up." If I can't trust you, then I don't have many people I can trust. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, the eunuchs got up one after another, but their faces were full of smiles, didn't they hear what His Majesty said just now, these people are the most trusted people of His Majesty.

And unlike those eunuchs, Zhu Youxiao felt bitter in his heart, as a dignified son, except for a few people, the most trusted person can only be a group of eunuchs, how sad it is.

"It seems that it is urgent to change the imperial examination, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years has raised a large group of fools who only know how to fight for power but do not know how to do things, if it goes on like this, the Ming Dynasty is in danger."

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself in his heart, but said to Wei Zhongxian in his mouth: "Big companion, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, first of all, the slave maid is very impressed by the fact that the Marquis of Jiangning copied the house to get silver, and the last time he got 20 million taels of silver from Yangzhou, this time he got more than 30 million taels of silver after he arrived in Shaoxing, and this ability is probably the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty." ”

"yes!" Zhu Youxiao also sighed: "Over the years, Yang Aiqing has not only worked hard for the country, but also kept getting a large amount of silver for the imperial court, I really can't imagine that if it were not for the silver and those high-yield grains that Yang Aiqing got over the years, the Ming Dynasty still doesn't know what it would become?" It's just that you have also seen that before the silver has been transported to the capital, the people below began to clamore for the silver, and these people are shouting for the punishment of those who get the silver while playing the idea of the silver, I really don't know how these people's skins grow, why are they so thick! ”

Wei Zhongxian was very indifferent to this, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, since ancient times, people have a sinister heart, and there are still few people who pick up chopsticks to eat meat and put down chopsticks to scold their mother?" As long as you ignore them, it's okay, but how to arrange the distribution of this money after it arrives in Beijing is a headache, and the slaves and maids estimate that the few people in the cabinet will come to the door soon. ”

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's words were finished, he heard the voice of a eunuch sound outside: "Your Majesty, Gu Ge Lao, Yang Ge Lao and a few others are asking to see you outside!" ”

"Hey...... It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! ”
