Section 142 Amazing ability to accumulate wealth

Many mistakes come from the lack of information, Zhou Lang feels that it is impossible to take Beijing, and He Shen feels that it is not easy to hold Beijing, and there is a huge psychological dislocation between them, so that they can make concessions instead, Zhou Lang is willing to give up attacking Beijing, and He Shen is willing to pay a huge amount of money.

If He Shen knew that Zhou Lang had lost confidence in attacking Beijing City, he might not have paid this money, and if Zhou Lang knew that He Shen lacked confidence in holding Beijing, he would not have lowered the price.

But in general, Zhou Lang occupies a greater psychological advantage, because after all, he is attacking, and if he can't beat it, he won't lose, and if the other party can't hold it, it's over, this mentality is like a hound chasing a hare, one runs for stuttering, and one runs for a life.

Obviously, He Shen is even more afraid to gamble, so He Shen is willing to pay money.

But Zhou Lang estimates that he and the adults themselves also have to pay for it, so they really underestimate the sense of responsibility of the adults, or underestimate the ability to make money with the adults.

In addition, Zhou Lang thinks that he can't get so much money when he kills adults, because he looks down on people and doesn't treat adults as rich people.

After He Shen was speculated, there was a list of copyists recorded in the archives of the Qing Dynasty. It lists the family property, and the family property of the adults includes:

one garden, 20 pavilions, 16 new ones; There are 730 rooms in the main house, 360 rooms in the east house, 350 rooms in the west house, 620 rooms in the Hui style new house, 730 rooms in the private stall room, and 64 pavilions in the garden.

8,000 hectares of land, 10 silver numbers, 600,000 taels of silver, 10 pawnshops, 800,000 taels of silver.

a vault, hiding 58,000 taels of red gold; a silver vault, 55,600 ingots, 5.83 million Beijing (Beijing and Su are different types of silver ingots), 3.15 million Su Yuan, and 58,000 foreign coins (silver dollars); a money vault, making money (copper coins) 1.5 million thousand Wen;

Not counting those real estates, just the nine million silver bills in the silver treasury and the identity of adults, they can't be one or two, so they can take out 30 million taels of cash just with adults, which is still less to say, because of such a thing as copying the house, if people like Wei Xiaobao go, it is impossible not to be greedy.

In addition, the furnishings in the house of the adults, the gold and silver utensils can also be used directly as silver.

Among them, there are 4 gold-carved eight-treasure beds, 20 gold-carved eight-treasure kangs, 10 large self-striking bells, 156 small self-striking bells, 300 table clocks, 80 hour watches, 9,857 pieces of red sandalwood glass crystal lanterns, 20,025 pieces of jewelry, gold, silver, pearls, miscellaneous hairpins, etc., 1,300 pieces of leather clothes, 5,624 pieces of cotton clip single yarn clothes, 35 hat boxes, 54 hats, 60 boot boxes, and 124 pairs of boots.

Inside the wall, 26,000 taels of red gold are hidden; In the cellar, 1,000,000 taels of silver were hidden.

The gold and silver utensils and large ingots in these furnishings combined, there are not a thousand taels?

Even if you don't, you have other assets that are easy to realize:

In the library of the study, there are countless books of pen, ink, paper, calligraphy and painting. Treasure curry, seafood miscellaneous innumerable.

These treasures are sold cheaply, not 10 million?

Therefore, Zhou Lang really looks down on people and adults, this is a real rich man, and the Jia Mansion written in Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions may not be richer than the Heshen family.

But Heshen's silver is not blown by the wind, redeeming the city, this is a state affair, there is no reason for him to pay for it, so Heshen has a way, not only will he not lose money, but he will earn a little less, he is loyal to the country!

The method is very simple, it is not a problem for the household department and the internal affairs government to take out 10 million, and Shen is in charge of the two accounts, and he is in charge of the expenses of the whole world, and the money will come out if he makes fake accounts, and he Shen can manage money for more than ten years No one can replace it, it is because when he manages the money, there is always money in the account, this time to raise military salaries, and He Shen tried his best, and there are more than 30 million taels of silver money prepared for the front line, and it is not difficult for him to embezzle 10 million, as long as there is a need, he can even take out more, but it takes more time to settle the account, and now in this situation, As long as He Shen is in charge of the money and food for one more year, he will come out.

There are 30 million taels left, and those real masters will have to pay for them, one by one, the prince, the banner owner, Baylor, Beizi, which one is not rich.

He Shen wanted the emperor to play, saying that now the Eight Banners are in ruins, the green camp is cowardly, and all of them are unbearable to fight, and it is suggested that an army be formed by the sons and daughters of the nobles who are resting with the country in the city, and they must forget to die and dare to fight, and He Shen took the lead in saying that his only son, Feng Shen Yinde, who is a concubine, will take the lead in going out of the city to fight. The purpose is to snatch the Old Summer Palace back, and how can we not let the royal garden be defiled by thieves.

Qianlong obeyed his words at this time, Jiaqing couldn't speak at all, and what He Shen said was what he said.

The Eight Banners nobles in the city are dumbfounded now, when did we get so tough with adults?

What kind of nerve is this?

He Shen committed a nerve and sent his family's Fengshen Yinde out, but the princes, Baylor, Beizi, protector generals, and chariot captains in the city were reluctant to send their precious sons out, what should I do, find accommodation with adults.

Of course, money is required for this accommodation.

One or two hundred taels is not too little, and eight thousand is not too much, completely according to the financial situation of each family, fair, open and just.

How many children of such magnates are there in the capital, what's the matter, there can't be a few thousand people, wrong, say above 100,000.

Among them, except for a very few powerful people who have broken brains and really want to send their children out of the city to be loyal to the emperor, most of them plan to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and they are all their own precious sons.

As a result, He Shen raised 100 million taels within a month, and this money took out 40 million yuan to Zhou Lang as a budget, and then He Shen Zheng brightly lit up the account book and reported to Jiaqing, saying that the powerful people in the city were loyal to the country, broke the family and expressed difficulties, donated 50 million taels of silver, and asked the emperor to reward them one by one.

40 million was given to Zhou Lang, 50 million was handed over to the treasury, and He Shen also left 10 million taels, and the treasury did not touch the silver, and there was no need to make false accounts.

And those powerful people are still grateful, spending money not only to get things done, but also to fall into a good name.

One by one, they began to satirize the old things of Chongzhen Ye in the Ming Dynasty, saying that Li Zicheng hit Beijing City, and Chongzhen Ye asked hundreds of officials to donate officials, and in the end he raised hundreds of thousands of taels.

Jiaqing and Qianlong received the report from He Shen, and they were also a little emotional, the dynasty did not raise flags in vain, compared to the weather of the Ming Dynasty, our Qing Dynasty will never die!

Jiaqing is naturally a commendation, Qianlong even touched the old tears, in the end it is the nation, at this time, our flag people are fighting for the Qing Dynasty! Didn't let those Han people look at the jokes.

And this operation, the banner nobles quietly ran to Heshenna to take the lead in donating, and set up a group of Han officials from the imperial examination, nothing else, donate, it can't be less, otherwise it will make people think that they are officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and when these officials think of the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is really a faint pain in their necks, and they don't want the Tiandihui gang of thieves to enter the capital, in case it is Li Zicheng's kind of stunned, and now he doesn't take out the money to recruit the dead to retreat from the enemy, and when the time comes, what if the other party tortures and plunders the military salary, It's not all thieves.

However, some of these civil officials have been in office for a long time and have a lot of savings, while some have been in office for a short time and have little savings; Some are corrupt and have high incomes, while others are clean and have low incomes. It is difficult to reach a uniform standard for a while.

There is a product of the big man took out 30,000 taels, this is interesting, when Chongzhen wanted to collect donations from the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the standard set was "30,000 as the best", as a member of the first grade in the court, of course, to take this superior, the following according to the grade can be 20,000, 10,000 taels, to those seven-grade sesame officials, give a few hundred taels of meaning to it.

In addition to a few departments, there are actually no local officials in Beijing, but as long as they know how to operate, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver for officials like first, second and third grades, not to mention anything else, their grades, and tens of thousands of incorruptible silver every year. Coupled with the ice and charcoal respect of the local officials in summer and winter, a three-grade Qing official, save some, and you can also take out 10,000 taels.

But someone really can't take it out, Chu Pengling, who was born in the imperial history and has just been promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Works, can't take it out, but he doesn't complain, and directly sells the house rewarded by the emperor. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen asked the minister to raise donations, and there were also those who sold houses at that time. At that time, a group of Ming magnates, some took their pots and pans to the street to practice stalls, and some posted "This house is for urgent sale" on the door of the mansion, and now they are exhausted, just to prove that they really have no money. But Chu Peng Ling really sold the house, did not list it, and directly found a colleague with money in the family, asked for 15,000 taels, and then threw down the deed and left, and then moved to the post house where the petty official lived.
