Chapter Twenty-Three: The Experiences in School --- Rich Rivals the Country

After everyone returned to the car, they asked the driver to turn on the heater to the maximum, and then under the guidance of Xiao Yue, everyone came to a noodle restaurant with Lao Tzu!

Because the wet clothes have dried, everyone suddenly feels that they are not having fun, and the time at this time is just 12:30 noon, but it is no longer realistic to return to Happy Valley to play!

Just when they felt at a loss, the person who was eating at the next table said: After eating in a while, I will take you to Prince Gong's Mansion for a walk, anyway, it is not very far from here, and it is a 15-minute walk......

The words of the stranger at the adjacent table couldn't help but make Zhang Haorong's eyes light up, so he opened his mouth and said to Coach Li and the others: Otherwise, let's go to Prince Gong's Mansion anyway, it's still early! Hearing Zhang Rong's proposal, everyone felt that there was nothing serious to do anyway, so they happily accepted this proposal!

After everyone finished eating, they briefly explained to the driver, and then followed the route indicated by the tour guide map to Prince Gong's Mansion!

After arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion, Zhao Haorong and his entourage saw that there were many small merchants and hawkers in front of the door, selling different tourist souvenirs, among which the most selling was the first blessing in the world written by Kangxi Yupen! But Zhang Haorong still couldn't understand the meaning of this blessing word, so he was very disapproving, just a simple look!

Because Zhang Haorong likes to read books on the history of the Qing Dynasty since he was a child, he has a certain understanding of the Prince Gong Mansion in front of him, but it is not detailed!

In his impression, the former Prince Gong's Mansion was not called Prince Gong's Mansion in the past, but Qingjun Wangfu, Qingjun Wang Aixinjue Luo Yonglin was the seventeenth son of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and he was also the youngest son of Emperor Qianlong, so he was favored by Emperor Qianlong, but this prince did not learn anything since he was a child, and he had no interest in politics, and the only hobby was singing.

After the death of his father Emperor Qianlong, his elder brother Emperor Qianlong's fifteenth son Aixinjue Luo Yongyan inherited the throne, and crowned Aixinjue Luo Yonglin as Prince Qing, and gave him this mansion, and then until the early years of Xianfeng, the Ministry of Internal Affairs took back the Qingwangfu from the descendants of Yongxuan, Xianfeng two years (1852), Xianfeng Emperor gave Prince Gong Aixinjue Luo Yixin as Gongwangfu, which slowly evolved into the Gongwangfu in front of him.

Zhang Haolong bought a ticket and entered with everyone, Prince Gong's Mansion, when he first entered the door, he saw a sign that said that the tour guide was hired, because out of curiosity about the history of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Haorong did not hesitate to take out 50 yuan to hire a tour guide......

Zhang Haorong's actions attracted Wang Dan's ridicule, and Wang Dan said: Isn't it just to see. Why should you be so serious? In this regard, Zhang Haorong just said disapprerovingly: I have liked the history of the Qing Dynasty since I was a child, and since I came, I don't care about the 50 yuan, and there is always no harm in having a little more knowledge......

The tour guide said: The 232-year-old Gongwang's Mansion is the most well-preserved of the existing Qing Dynasty palace buildings in Beijing. In that year, it was built by Heshen Daxing civil engineering, although it was not called the palace, but the mansion was spacious, and the magnificence was not inferior to the palace at all......

Wenyan and the others were suddenly taken aback, and Xiao Yue said Oh my God! This is the home of that big corrupt official and Shen! It's too extravagant! Seeing Xiao Yue's surprise, the tour guide continued: That palace is really just a drop in the bucket. If you knew how much power he had, you'd understand!

Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the tour guide said with a smile: Then let me tell you, He Shen: Chief University Scholar. Foreman Minister of Military Aircraft. It is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Imperial Court of the Domain, and the Ministry of Households. He also served as the head of the Hanlin Academy. President of "Siku Quanshu". Captain of the Guard. Commander of the infantry army.

Admiral of the Nine Gates. The owner of the Yellow Flag. Governor of the Inner House, etc.

According to the current position, it is equivalent to: Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. Minister of Personnel, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Justice, Minister of Foreign Affairs. After listening to the tour guide's introduction and the right one, everyone was surprised, and then Coach Li said: How much money does he have to be such a big official? Regarding Coach Li's question, the tour guide continued to say that this is exactly what I want to say next.

According to the "Yong'an Notes" written by a famous diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, one of the passages is called "List of Confiscation of Heshen's Family Property":

The list of the confiscated property of He Shen is as follows:

1. Cash assets

1. Red gold (24K): 58,000 taels of gold, 2,500 taels in the upper room, 1000 taels of 100 gold ingots, 26 taels of gold pagoda, 26,000 taels in the wall, a total of 186,900 taels

2. Present silver: 1 million taels in the cellar, 55,600 silver ingots (10 taels each) in the silver warehouse, and 500 large silver ingots (1,000 taels each) in the upper room: 6,556,000

3. 5.83 million Jingguo (silver) and 3.15 million Suguo (silver).

4. Fifty-eight thousand dollars of foreign money (silver dollars).

The unit of measurement in the Qing Dynasty was 16 taels, and the one tael at that time is now 0.625 taels, or 31.25 grams. So Hekun's cash assets are converted into today's RMB:

According to the gold price of the Shanghai Gold Exchange at 9:10 on January 12, 2006, it was 140.9 yuan.

Then, according to today's exchange price, the gold embezzled by Hekun is converted into RMB:

186900*31.25*140.9=820 million RMB;

According to the recent silver price announced by North China Metal, the price is: 3400-3600/kg, about 3.5 yuan/gram

Then the silver discount of Hekun's embezzlement is:

2080000 * 31.25 * 3.5 = 227 million yuan

Jingguo and Suguo are calculated at 0.1 taels each (5830000 + 3150000) * 0.1 * 31.25 * 3.5 = 98218750 yuan (about 10 million yuan)

The price of foreign money is currently 60 to 120 yuan (excluding the value of cultural relics), and we have set it at 80 yuan per piece

The value of foreign money embezzled by Heshen is: 58,000 * 80 = 464,000 yuan (4.64 million yuan)

Then the cash assets embezzled by Heshen are converted into today's RMB: 8.2 + 2.27 + 0.1 + 0.05 = 1.062 billion yuan

2. Real estate

1. One garden and twenty pavilions;

2. One main house, thirteen entrances, seven hundred and thirty rooms;

3. One East House, seven entrances, 360 rooms;

4. One Westinghouse, seven entrances, three hundred and fifty rooms;

5. A private stall room, 730 rooms;

6. There are two gardens and 100 pavilions.

There are a total of 2,170 properties in Heshen, each of which is about 20 square meters on average according to the style of the Qing Dynasty government. Then the property area of Hekun is: 2170*20=43400 square meters.

According to the current price of garden villas in the main urban area of Beijing (10,000 yuan/square meter), the real estate value of Heshen is: 43,400 * 10,000 = 4.3 billion yuan

In addition, gardens and pavilions cannot be valued at this time

3. Real estate

1. 8,000 hectares of land, equivalent to 800,000 acres, according to the current price of land requisitioned by cities above the middle level: 40,000 yuan, and the land value of Hekun:

800000*40000=320000000000 (32 billion RMB)

Fourth, enterprises

1. Ten pawnshops, 800,000 taels of silver;

2. Ten silver numbers, 600,000 taels of silver.

The total discount of the two principal banks is RMB: (600,000 + 800,000) * 31.25 * 3.5 = 153125000 yuan (150 million yuan)

5. Jade

1. Thirteen jade tripods, two feet five inches high;

2. Twenty pieces of jade chime;

3. One hundred and thirty handles of jade Ruyi

4, inlaid with jade Ruyi 1,100 handles;

5. Forty-eight jade snuff bottles;

6. One hundred and thirty pieces of jade heads;

7. Thirteen tables of jade bowls and thirty jade bottles;

6. Jewelry

1. Two hundred and thirty strings of pearl bracelets;

2. Ten large eastern pearls;

3. Ten pieces of Daying rubies, weighing 280 pounds;

4. Eighty pieces of small rubies;

5. Forty pieces of sapphires;

6. Ninety rubies;

The above jewelry values should be estimated by experts.

7. Miscellaneous

1. Seventy-two silver bowls, 500 pairs of silver chopsticks, 200 pairs of gold chopsticks, 60 gold spoons, and 380 silver spoons;

2. Ten gold-carved eight-treasure bottles, four hundred and sixty bells, thirty gold-carved eight-treasure beds and gold-cut eight-treasure pits;

3. 14,300 pieces of silk, 800 boards of red tweed, 450 boards of five-color tweed, 600 pieces of fox skins, 800 pieces of sable skins------- and so many more to record.

The above items are expensive and cannot be estimated.

According to the property that can be converted, Heshen's family property is: 10.62 + 4.3 + 320 + 1.5 = 33.64 billion yuan, and these assets do not include the inestimable income from gardens, pavilions, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, cultural relics, and banks and pawnshops.

According to the valuation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, He Kun's family property is 800 million taels of silver, equivalent to 87.5 billion yuan. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this amount of money can be worth the amount of two Gengzi indemnities.

After hearing the introduction of the tour guide, everyone was surprised, this is really a rich country!

At this moment, Xiao Yue received a call from Wang Dan's sister, and on the phone, she didn't say anything, just asked Wang Dan to go to the First People's Hospital of Tianshui City as quickly as possible......
