The Huangya Mountain teaching case of the year before last ended in a bloody bath, among which there were many local officials and eunuchs in Shandong, and their dependents, and Lu Fu Yan Jingming, who presided over the invasion of Huangya Mountain, attacked the local gentry and Lu officials, and it was difficult to settle down. Guan Zhuofan wanted to accept Yan Jingming for his own use, but he tried his best to maintain it, but as a result, Yan Danchu did not fall but rose, and moved left to become the head of the household department.

Yan Jingming was grateful for his knowledge, and as soon as he arrived at the ministry to see things, he made drastic measures and was determined to rectify, almost turning the household department upside down, and the "three libraries" under the name of the household department - silver warehouse, silk warehouse, and pigment warehouse were no exception.

Silk and pigment two library, in addition to the silk and pigment in the name of the library, there are also countless tributes from all over the country over the years, all-inclusive, can be described as a collection of tributes in the world, many of which are considered to be rare treasures.

In addition to the chaotic accounts, in the past one or two hundred years, many collections have become "dead things" after years of decay and mildew, completely unusable; The rest of the things that could be used were all drowsy, and the precious funds were precipitated for a long time.

Yan Jingming sent more people to move the decayed and completely unusable items out of the warehouse and destroy them; The rest of the inventory is clear, except for the part retained by the imperial court, the rest is planned to be sold at the market price, and the proceeds are paid into the state treasury.

This plan is Yan Jingming's painstaking efforts, and if he really wants to implement it, it is thankless.

Most of the items that the "three libraries" took out for sale are old, and they must be discounted according to the market price; As long as it is discounted, whether it is a discount or a nine percent discount, it will attract ridicule - some people will say that you are "selling cheaply", in today's words, it is "the loss of state-owned assets".

It's there as it is. Let it rot in the dust. and a tael of silver will not appear. On the contrary, no one says that you "lose state-owned assets".

At that time, there was basically no such concept as "depreciation of fixed assets".

At that time, Guan Zhuofan had already arrived in Shanghai and was preparing to go to Japan. He considered that Yan Jingming had rectified the household department, from top to bottom, he had offended countless people, and he could no longer tell the truth, so he wrote a letter to Yan Jingming. The analysis is very strong, and the plan is pressed down for the time being.

The ones that were still in use continued to lie down in the library and sleep.

Princess Rong'an and Princess Dunrou "surrendered", and these collections can finally "wake up".

A considerable part of the three hundred and sixty princess makeup dowries came from this collection.

In addition to the princess's dowry, the rest of the "big wedding" expenses are also tried to ask for this collection. For example, the 552 Luan Honor Masters who carried the makeup were wearing red satin robes and gowns, which were as bright as clouds. The "master" who is a bystander is smart. I thought it was the messenger of the new "transmission office" of the Suzhou weaving yamen. In fact, this batch of robes, although the lake silk is the lake silk, but it is not a new product, but all from the old collection of the "three libraries" silk and satin library.

It's just that if you don't look closely at the new and old satin, although the appearance is the same, the quality is not comparable. Someone raised this doubt, and Prince Xuan sent someone to ask: Sending the princess's dowry, from the Forbidden City to the North Street of Chaonei, will this robe made of old silk break and crack along the way?

Uh, this, not yet.

That's it! This robe was originally specially made for the princess to "surrender", and no matter how good the quality was, she had to wear it once. The next time there is a similar scene, it will be the emperor's wedding, and the queen's makeup will be sent - is it possible that the emperor will get married, not make new clothes, and wear the old gowns of the two sisters six years ago?

So, what is the difference between new silk and old silk? - Just use old silk!

The whole princess surrendered, from beginning to end, Suzhou weaving Yamen "passing" the messenger, only one, that is, the "Hundred Children Tent" on the "Bed" embroidered with a hundred playchildren.

In addition to the silk and pigment warehouses of the "three warehouses" of the household department, the "six warehouses" under the Guangchu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also been turned over, mainly to find suitable woodware.

Since the Daoguang Dynasty, the national strength is difficult, unable to maintain a large number of large number of regulated royal gardens, Xuanzong is a particularly frugal person, is the order to "remove the three mountain furnishings", in fact, "abandoned" Jingyi, Qingyi, Jingming three gardens.

Most of the furnishings of the three gardens, including the woodware and household goods, were moved into the treasury of the Guangchu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the old collection of the "three warehouses" of the household department was the same.

Jingyi, Qingyi, Jingming three gardens of wood, materials, workmanship, style, is naturally first-class, wood and different satin, the shelf life is much longer, under the inspection, found that many wood quality is still good, a little polishing, loose paint, it is as bright as new, can be pretended to be a new product, come in handy.

Almost all of the wooden furniture in the princess's dowry came from the "Three Gardens" furnishings in the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only two "joint beds" were newly made - "passed down" by the Governor of Liangguang and the Guangdong Customs.

As for the time when the princess's dowry was sent, there were spectators on the side of the road who said that "I have an aunt cousin, who is on an errand in the Guangdong Customs, and knows the inside story, and this batch of wooden objects is really the head and tail of the Swiss army", Yunyun, or the person said that he knew everything; Or they are assigned to deliberately exaggerate their rhetoric to build momentum for future "auctions". Well, what kind of situation it is, the lion doesn't know.

The reason why Yan Jingming admired Guan Zhuofan so much was that he "turned waste into treasure", and the princess with flowers and brocade "surrendered", but he didn't spend a few taels of silver in the court; Second, it is this "auction".

If you deal with the old collection of "Sanku" according to your original method, no matter what, it will inevitably be ridiculed for "selling the country cheaply to make money", but you can plate two layers of gold of "princess makeup" and "imperial gifts", and then take advantage of the momentum of cooking oil on fire, and sell it at a price several times or even more than ten times the original value! The difference between the two plans is ten times greater! The "national wealth", which has obviously been greatly devalued, has risen so sharply, this, this, alas, there is nothing to say, the five-body cast, the five-body cast!

Everyone stared at the net income of 3.55 million taels of silver from the "Princess Makeup Auction" with a good eye, and they were all thinking, is this large amount of money just "put into storage", or is it going to play a little trick?

I always feel that Prince Xuan still has some tricks to change.

Sure enough.

Guan Zhuofan folded up, please divide the proceeds of the "Princess Dowry Auction" into two parts, of which 2.5 million taels will be used as the "official capital" of the clan bank; The remaining 100,000 taels were used as expenses for the establishment of the "Normal Hall."

The share capital of the clan bank is a total of five million taels, of which half is the official capital and half is the clan bank. The original intention of the establishment of the clan bank was to manage the assets of the clan and preserve the value of the family property, which means that the clan is the main beneficiary of the bank. Since the clan has only benefited from the bank, the court has to take out half of the share capital, and it is inevitable that there will be people outside the clan.

Now, the proceeds from the "Princess Dowry Auction" are used as the "official capital" of the clan bank, which means that this part of the share capital is all donated and exported by the princess and the concubine, and there is no need to use a tael of silver from the imperial court - now, there is no one to gossip!

Up and down the clan, singing praises to virtue.

Joining the ranks of singing the praises of virtue are also the vast number of readers.

The "Normal Hall" is set up for the imperial examination, that is, for the scholars to enter the body, which is a typical example of civilization and education! Prince Xuan's excerpt, as soon as he made a move, he threw 1.05 million taels of silver into the "Normal Hall", that is, he threw 1.05 million silver on the scholar - you say, we scholars, when did you take advantage of the money so much?

The first to abolish the eunuch reprimand system, the history records, to King Xuan, "the world's scholars have returned to their hearts since then"; The proceeds of the auction of the princess's makeup were transferred to the "Normal Hall", and the history recorded, to King Xuan, "the world's scholars return to their hearts".
