Chapter 311 Getting Rich
During the day, Wang Yan accompanied He Tengjiao and others, successively handed over the silver warehouse, grain warehouse, and armory, and had reached the yamen, handing over everything in Wuchang Mansion to He Tengjiao's hands.
This made He Tengjiao's feeling about Wang Yan greatly changed, and the group walked around the city for a day, but they were in a very happy mood and did not feel a trace of fatigue.
That night, Wang Yan stayed in the house of the governor He Mingluan, and although the thief had been killed, Wang Yan did not spare his family, but asked the soldiers to lock them all up.
At this time, in the courtyard, several soldiers were filling in a large pit and laying a layer of stone slabs so that it was impossible to easily see the traces of excavation.
Dai Zhifan and the others entered the courtyard, glanced at the busy soldiers, and walked directly past them and went to the house to meet Wang Yan.
Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately put down the scroll in his hand and asked with a smile: "Generals, how is the harvest?" ”
Dai Zhifan said first: "Guogong doesn't want Wuchang Treasury, and the last general still feels very pity, but now it seems that it is still Guogong Yinming, those high-ranking officials who are clean dogs, one by one, they are simply rich, I don't know how many people's fat and ointment have been looted, and they have accumulated a huge amount of wealth!" The last general was ordered to search the Turai mansion, and found 500,000 taels of silver alone, as well as two large chests of other gold and jewelry, and I don't know how many people this thief robbed and blackmailed many gentry! ”
Wang Yan was also shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, "Turai, this thief, is indeed insatiable!" At the beginning, the governor was trapped in Nanjing, in order to arrest the governor and fight the power of Jinyiwei, he connived at his subordinates to blackmail the people of Nanjing. It was precisely because he understood the greedy nature of Qinggou that he dared to give up the Wuchang Mansion Treasury to He Tengjiao! ”
"Grandpa Guo is wise~" Dai Zhifan said with a smile: "He Tengjiao thought he took advantage, haha~"
Wang Yan also chuckled, and then looked at the other people: "How did you get it?" ”
Liu Fangliang immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general will copy 300,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold from the house of the governor of Hubei in the Qing court. ”
Li Guo then said: "The last general copied out 400,000 taels of silver and a box of gold jewelry from the backyard of the Governor's Palace. ”
"At the end, 300,000 taels of silver will be copied from the historians of Hubei Province~"
"The last general will dig out 300,000 taels of silver from He Mingluan's house~"
~~~
This kind of thing is to raid the house, in addition to Dai Zhifan's hand, other generals such as Li Guo and other Shunjun generals, every time they broke a city in the past, the rich households in the city basically had to be copied again, so they were full of experience, and it was handy to do, even if the silver was hidden deeply, they would find out.
In fact, the crowd did not disappoint him, this time Wang Yan deliberately used the treasury to drag He Tengjiao to buy them time, and their harvest was indeed worth Wang Yan's effort.
A group of generals reported one number after another, the most were three or four hundred thousand taels, and the least was fifty thousand taels.
After a while, he put down the brush, picked up the paper and looked at it a few times, before he happily said to Wang Yan: "Guogong, this time the silver alone is close to two million taels, and the gold jewelry cannot be converted at present, but it is estimated that it is worth at least 500,000 taels of silver, and this harvest is really shocking."
Li Suiqiu is in charge of logistics for Wang Yan, seeing that the materials in his hands are getting less and less, and he will soon not even be able to pay the silver salary.
A small Wuchang Mansion can copy so many silver coins, it is really shocking, but if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that Wuchang is the provincial capital of Huguang, and Tong Yanghe ordered the Qing soldiers and officials in Hubei to shrink to Wuchang, and they must carry out a loot in the abandoned place.
In Chinese history, the gentry and the common people have always had two habits, one is to buy land, the other is to save money, this habit is still the habit of the Chinese people even if the commodity economy is developed today, and they buy houses and buy houses with money.
The soldiers of the fields could not take away, but the silver buried in the ground was easy to dig out. The dog officials of the Qing court, these treasures that they robbed, are now all cheaper than Wang Yan.
The generals listened to Li Suiqiu's words, and their hearts suddenly burst with joy, they immediately harvested the property equivalent to half a year's financial income of the Southern Ming Dynasty, how could they not be happy?
At this time, Wang Yan's face was also full of joy, he glanced at everyone, but found that there was one person missing, so he suddenly asked, "What about Man Dazhuang?" Why didn't he come? ”
Yuan Zongdi said with a smile when he heard this: "Guogong doesn't know, General Man has never seen so many silver coins and jewels in his life, Guogong asked us to put all our belongings on his ship, he is restless now, and he doesn't dare to get off the boat at all, for fear that something is missing and he will be blamed by Guogong!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst out laughing, but Wang Yan shook his head slightly, and said: "It's good that he is so careful, more than two million taels of property are very important to this governor, you can tell him, leave 500,000 taels of silver, and let him transport all the rest to Changsha." The governor will let the people return with him to cover his eyes and ears, and along the way, He Tengjiao and Fu Shangrui must not know that we have obtained more than two million taels of silver. ”
The Manda Zhuang Department was on the Yangtze River, and the Ming army besieged the three gates, and only the north gate was guarded by no horses, so Wang Yan asked everyone to transport the finances out of the north gate, and then directly loaded them onto the warship, He Tengjiao never imagined this.
"By the way, can you take good care of the officials and family members of the Qing court?" After Wang Yan finished explaining the matter of the money, he began to ask again.
Dai Zhifan immediately replied: "Don't worry, the prince has all been escorted to the camp outside the city, and there will be no problem if he sends soldiers to take care of them." ”
At present, the battle of Huguang is not over, Wang Yan still has to wave his army to the north to face Azig and Wu Sangui, he is really afraid that He Tengjiao will quarrel with him after knowing that he has obtained a huge amount of silver from Qing court officials, and even threaten not to borrow soldiers and horses to divide the silver taels, so he must ensure the secrecy of the silver money.
These Qing court officials and family members were robbed of their homes by Wang Yan, and they must be resentful in their hearts, in case the current situation of the money is spread, but it is very bad, Wang Yan does not want to leave hidden dangers, so he simply kills them all, and he also has an excuse to kill.
At this time, Wang Yan frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Before, the governor said that within three days, those who do not surrender will slaughter their three clans, and the governor must say and do it." Mingzhang killed them all as soon as possible, and the heads of Turai and Tong Yanghe were pickled for the governor, and the governor was still of great use! ”
Killing these people, although it will leave Wang Yan with a murderous name, but it is also beneficial, in addition to keeping the matter of the money secret, it can also deter the Qing soldiers, telling them that Wang Yan said one or the other, if you are told to surrender, you will have to surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will really kill your whole family.
When Dai Zhifan heard this, he didn't dare to question it, his face showed a murderous aura, and he saluted: "Promise~ The last general will do it tomorrow~"
