The Huainan palace is like a treasure trove, and the silver that has not been copied out is really amazing, Qi Ning secretly thinks that the means of the king of Huainan to collect money is really good, but if you think about it carefully, the king of Huainan has been gifted by the imperial court for decades, and the rewards he receives every year are not a few.

But he immediately realized that the Huainan Wang's family was rich and the common people didn't know it, but the Beijing officials must know it, even if the Beijing officials didn't know the details of the Huainan Wang, Sima Lan must be clear.

A character like Sima Lan, of course, will not fight an uncertain battle, since he listed the King of Huainan as an opponent, of course, the investigation of the King of Huainan is very clear, and as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Sima Lan's qualifications in the court are only higher than those of the King of Huainan, and the actions of the King of Huainan over the years, as one of the most important ministers in the court, Sima Lan is naturally clear, so how much property the Huainan Royal Mansion has, Sima Lan also knows in his heart.

Aside from the rare treasures in the treasure room of the Buddha Hall, the property found so far alone is as high as three or four million taels, such a huge property, even if Qi Ning has a big appetite, he doesn't dare to really swallow it, even if he opens his mouth and swallows half of it, there are still one or two million taels of Wuzi into the Hubu Silver Treasury.

If this huge amount of money enters the household department, then Qi Ning's biggest worry is that the meat will enter the tiger's mouth, and the Sima family will find an opportunity to get involved in the household department, and then control the household finances.

Dou Kui frowned slightly when he saw Qi Ning, after all, he was also a cunning person, he understood Qi Ning's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, at present, it is only a list of financial assets, and the cash that has not been copied out of the palace is only a hundred thousand taels of silver, and we can't move this cash." However, how much silver should be reported for other items, the lower officials know what to do, but they .......! After hesitating, he said in a low voice: "There are too many belongings, if the disparity is too great, someone will inevitably find trouble, and it is estimated that it is worth more than three million taels of silver, how much does the Hou Ye feel that he should pay to the household department?" ”

"I'm not experienced in anything like that." Qi Ning said in a low voice, "What does Lord Dou think?" ”

Dou Kui thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hou Ye, Xia Guan tried his best to make the accounts without too many flaws, and free up two million taels of silver for Hou Ye......!" ”

Qi Ning's heart sank, and he secretly thought that Dou Kui's courage was really big enough, and he frowned: "Is it too much?" ”

Dou Kui said softly: "The other officials in the DPRK and China dare not get involved, even if they investigate, only the Sima family may be entangled." However, the Sima family has never set foot in the household department, and they don't know much about the regulations of the household department, and the subordinates will do it seamlessly, so they won't see the flaws. ”

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "Lord Dou, what to do, I don't know, you can just watch it." Leaning in slightly, he said in a low voice: "Actually, there is a method that I think is good, and I don't know if it is appropriate or not, Lord Dou will help you refer to it in detail." ”

"Master Hou, please speak." Dou Kui said in a low voice: "The method that Hou Ye thought of must be extremely clever. ”

"You also know that the emperor has always been very concerned about the reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp." Qi Ning sighed lightly: "The Black Scale Battalion is not an infantry army, it has been trained according to cavalry from the beginning, but as far as I know, the Black Scale Battalion can't even get a single war horse at the moment. ”

Dou Kui listened obediently, understood, and said: "This is the negligence of the lower officials, and I am extremely ashamed." The corners of his mouth flashed with a smile: "Master Hou, the Black Scale Battalion has a thousand establishments, and now the real good horses on the market, to say the least, there are two hundred taels of silver each, and one thousand horses is two hundred thousand taels, and the cavalry fights for a long time, often requiring two or three war horses to rotate, and to equip the Black Scale Battalion with good horses, it will take five or six hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "If Lord Dou can solve this matter for the Black Scale Battalion, the Black Scale Camp will definitely be grateful." ”

Dou Kui said: "There are also weapons, and in addition, the camp of the Black Scale Camp is too simple, and it will cost a lot of silver to train a brave and good iron horseman." Hou Ye, Xia Guan is going to pull out 800,000 taels of silver from the silver taels that confiscated the palace and hand them over to the Black Scale Battalion, I don't know what Hou Ye wants? ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "This is a matter of your household department, and I don't get involved." He added: "Yes, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty is vying for the throne, although the court and the central government have not yet discussed a strategy to deal with the Northern Han Dynasty, but after the emperor's wedding, this matter will definitely be on the agenda." The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and our Qinhuai army may send troops to cross the Huai River at any time, so the grain and grass salaries on the front line must be prepared sufficiently, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Dou Kui was cheerful and said in a low voice: "As soon as Master Hou said this, the lower officials will understand what to do." ”

Qi Ning beckoned, Dou Kui came over close to his ear, and Qi Ning said softly: "Of the more than three million taels of silver confiscated, 800,000 taels will be allocated to the Black Scale Battalion, 1 million taels will be drawn to the Qinhuai Legion, and the remaining more than 1 million taels will be released for 1 million taels of silver, after all, the emperor has given us the opportunity to make a fortune, and we can't live up to the emperor's good intentions. ”

Dou Kui hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Master Hou, the lower officials will never dare to move a ......!" ”

Qi Ning knew in his heart that if he wanted the horses to run, he always had to give the horses grass, and he had to let Dou Kui be willing to do this errand, and he should always let him get some oil and water: "You don't have to say much, Benhou has always been blessed and shared with hardships, since there is a good opportunity to make a fortune, I will naturally not ignore you." ”

Dou Kui arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye takes care of it so much, the lower officials can't repay it if they die." But the lower officials would never dare to add five to Hou Ye. He said in a low voice: "Hou Ye is open-minded, the officials are courageous, and when the time comes, leave 200,000 taels of silver, and the rest will be handed over to Hou Ye." ”

Qi Ning sighed: "In this case, I am not reluctant, the future is long, as long as Lord Dou works hard, Benhou will not treat you badly." ”

Qi Ning took precautions, knowing that such an arrangement was the best way at the moment, the silver entered the treasury of the household department, and immediately transferred it, the silver of the Black Scale Battalion was of course bound to be obtained, and if he allocated one million taels of silver to the Qin Huai Army, not only could the front line be prepared, but even if Sima Lan wanted to stop it, he couldn't.

What Sima Lan lacks most in his hands is military power, if he prevents the household department from allocating silver to the Qinhuai Legion, it will inevitably offend the Qinhuai Legion, and the military's attitude towards the Sima family will be even more disgusted.

The discussion was over, and the two didn't talk nonsense, and after more than an hour, the property of the palace was basically not cleaned, and it was registered, Dou Kui ordered someone to pack the car, and the property of the palace was shipped out one by one.

After Dou Kui led the last car of confiscated things and left, Chi Fengdian came over and bowed his hand to Qi Ning and said: "Hou Ye, today is also going well, when the humble general comes, the emperor has explained, after the copying, Hou Ye must also be very hard, tomorrow is the emperor's wedding, the emperor will not meet the courtiers tonight, Hou Ye just go back to the house to rest, and the humble general will return to the palace to return to the emperor." ”

Qi Ning asked, "Can the emperor arrange someone to guard the Huainan Palace?" ”

Chi Fengdian nodded and said, "The emperor has explained, and everything is arranged by the Hou Ye. If the Hou Ye wants to call the Yulin Battalion to guard here, he will let people stay. ”

Qi Ning looked up at the sky, and then said: "Tomorrow's big wedding in the palace is extraordinary, and the Yulin Camp wants to protect the safety of the palace, so naturally the brothers of the Yulin Camp cannot be transferred." Commander Chi, you see that this will not work, send someone to Kyoto Prefecture to transfer a team of soldiers to come over, and temporarily take over the Yulin Battalion to guard here, the brothers of the Yulin Battalion are working very hard today, and they will be on duty tomorrow, so go back and rest first. I will send someone to the Black Scale Camp tonight to transfer a team of men and horses, and until the emperor has other wills, let the people of the Black Scale Camp guard the palace for the time being to protect the prince from being harassed. ”

Chi Fengdian said: "Master Hou has made proper arrangements, taking care of the hard work of the brothers, and thanking Master Hou on behalf of the brothers." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, "It's all on the orders of the emperor, my brother, don't say thank you." He looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Commander Chi, there is another small thing I want you to help with, can you talk in a different place." ”

Chi Fengdian raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, please!" ”

Qi Ning didn't talk nonsense, leading the way in front, the two of them arrived outside a house one after the other, Qi Ning pushed open the door and let Chi Fengdian in, then closed the door and turned to the side room, Chi Fengdian followed him, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Qi Ning's gourd, but he saw that Qi Ning had already walked to the corner of the room, raised his hand and lifted a black cloth, under the black cloth, there were two boxes.

Chi Fengdian vaguely understood something, but still asked, "Master Hou, this is ......!" ”

Qi Ning opened a box, Chi Fengdian glanced at it, but it was full of treasures, he was also a person who had seen the world, and at a casual glance, he could see that the treasures in the box were all of the highest quality.

Although the antique treasures in this box are not as rare as the treasure room, they are naturally much more precious than the other treasures outside, Qi Ning closed the box and said with a smile: "Since early in the morning today, Commander Chi has brought the brothers of the Yulin Battalion to come over to work, and everyone has worked hard at the end of this day." Before leaving, Lord Dou mentioned to Ben Hou that he couldn't lose the brothers, and Ben Hou thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, so he left some gadgets, and Chi Commander took them away later, and gave the brothers some wine money. ”

Chi Fengdian has actually estimated in his heart that if these two boxes of treasures are really sold, there will be more than 100,000 taels of silver, although Chi Fengdian is the commander of the Yulin Battalion and the position is critical, but the annual salary is not much, and more than 100,000 taels of silver is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for him.

"Master Hou, this ...... Isn't that appropriate? The corners of Chi Fengdian's eyes jumped slightly.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "If someone wants to bribe Commander Chi, don't say that Commander Chi won't accept it, even if Commander Chi is moved, I will stop Commander Chi from accepting it." But this is a confiscated thing after all, and there are many ill-gotten gains, even if it is handed over to the household department, it is not the yamen of the various divisions that have been separated when they turn back. Since there is a chance, let the brothers of the Yulin Camp get rid of it, and everyone has a few more bottles of good wine to drink, it is not a bad thing, what does Commander Chi think? ”

Chi Fengdian said with a smile: "Master Hou takes care of it so much, if the humble general refuses to resign, it will be hypocritical." He saluted and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for taking care of me, and thank Lord Hou on behalf of the brothers." ”

"Don't say anything like that, or you'll be out of sight." Qi Ning patted Chi Fengdian's arm: "Share the blessings, this is a good brother, Commander Chi, isn't this the truth?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes.....!" Chi Fengdian also laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious,
