Jing Jie led ninety brocade guards to count the Tian family's wealth, the Tian family is a family wealth, and after counting for two whole days, he finally counted the number.

The total wealth of the Tian family is 11,300 taels of gold, 237,500 taels of silver, 4,300 acres of land deeds, 75 house deeds, and countless jewels and jades, which are equivalent to about 400,000 or 500,000 taels of silver.

Fang Yuan was secretly surprised, together with the 40,000 taels of gold that had been confiscated before, Tian Hongyu's family fortune reached an astonishing 700,000 or 800,000 taels of silver.

It was the first time Qin Zhan had seen such a huge family property, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, what to do with the Tian family's wealth?" ”

Fang Yuan knew as soon as he heard that he was spending a lot of money, it was recognized that the most oily job in Jinyiwei was to raid the house, and these family wealth was overreported and underreported, which had no impact on the imperial court, but for these Jinyiwei with meager income, it was a considerable income.

How to distribute this money, Fang Yuan had already made a calculation, summoned the two brothers Qin Zhan and Jing Jie, and went to the pavilion in the remote part of Tianfu.

Fang Yuan sat at the stone table in the pavilion and said lightly, "Third brother, the old department of the Tianxiong Army you recruited is effective?" ”

Jing Jie arched his hand and said, "Boss, most of the old troops of some Tianxiong Army stayed in Datong Town to sell some illicit goods for a living, if I can pay enough money and armaments, I can train a strong force of 300 people in two months." ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Silver, armaments, you don't have to worry, I will provide the most sophisticated, third, you are only responsible for training well." ”

Jing Jie promised.

Qin Zhanba was looking at how to distribute these Tian family wealth and how much could fall on his head.

Fang Yuan took his eagerness in his eyes and said lightly, "Ten thousand taels of gold, twenty thousand taels of silver belong to me, and I will use it to train troops and build a new army." ”

"1,300 taels of gold, 150,000 taels of silver, and all the land deeds were handed over to Your Majesty, which is the result of this raid."

"Half of the jewels and jade, plus 50,000 silver, will be left to the Tian family."

"The remaining half of the jewelry and jade, I will give it to the celebrant."

"Ten thousand taels of silver will be left for you and the brothers of Jinyiwei; The deed was handed over to the Jinyi Guard for me, and the Luo Commander was sent to the envoys, and there were others. ”

He distributed it in an orderly manner, and Beijing City didn't know if it could be kept, and the real estate such as the deed could not be taken away, so he threw away bribes to the high-level people who had brocade clothes; As for the hard currencies of gold and silver, they naturally belonged to him, Chongzhen, the Tian family, and a group of brothers under him; The gold, silver, and jewels were given to the father-in-law of the celebrant of ceremonies.

Qin Zhan fiddled with his hands and began to calculate, "10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels for me and the third child, the remaining 8,000 taels, and 80 taels for all the Jinyi guards who participated in the raid, wow!" Boss, you've already done the math? ”

Fang Yuan smiled noncommittally, and then ordered Qin Zhan to revise the list of confiscated family assets that needed to be reported to Chongzhen, and Jing Jie was responsible for dividing the family wealth obtained from the robbery.

After Qin Zhan wrote a list, Fang Yuan reviewed it and there was no deviation, so he took this list and went to the palace to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

Qianqing Palace

Emperor Chongzhen saw the confiscated list handed in by Fang Yuan, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Fang Yuan couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, whether he could see the clue that he had made a fortune from it, so he could only stand silently.

"This Tian Guozhang, Tian Guozhang! I really believed in his crying poverty, but I didn't expect that he had a fortune of 40,000 taels of gold, 150,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 acres of land deeds. ”

Chongzhen slapped the dragon case angrily and said, "I'm really blind! ”

Fang Yuan was silent, Chongzhen's anger was real, it seemed that the constraints on hand over the years had completely limited Chongzhen's imagination, and he couldn't estimate how much money those powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were greedy for.

Chongzhen scolded angrily, Wang Chengen hurriedly went to bring him water, patted his back, and comforted him repeatedly.

Chongzhen's anger subsided slightly, he looked up at Fang Yuan, who was waiting in front of the dragon case, and showed a smile, Long Yan Dayue said, "Fang Yuan, you did a good job. With these 40,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver, they can distribute food and salaries to the officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi Zhuwei. ”

Wang Chengen said, "Your Majesty has owed three months of food and salary to the officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi Guards, and now you can finally make up for it, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Chongzhen stood up, stroking his palms back and forth in front of the dragon case and laughing, like a happy child, "Good, good!" Fang Yuan, I want to reward you this time. ”

This time, he had already made a lot of money, but in the face of Chongzhen's reward, he still felt a little guilty, and was about to excuse himself, but he heard Chongzhen continue, "Wang Chengen, go and get a reward of ten taels of silver." ”

"What's the situation? Ten taels of silver is also a heavy reward? ”

Fang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, this reward was not as much as that of his subordinate Jinyi Wei, while he was stunned, he felt irrepressible sadness.

The Chongzhen Emperor in front of him is really thrifty to the point of picking the door, and even ten taels of silver can be rewarded as a thing.

However, the silver he cut down was not used for personal pleasure, but was thrown into the bottomless financial hole of the Ming Dynasty.

Even though he was moody, even if he was stubborn and self-serving, even if he was ambitious and talented, he did his best to save the dying Ming Dynasty, fought to the last moment, and died in his life.

In any case, he was also a respectable emperor.

Fang Yuan's nose was sour, tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head to hide it a little, respectfully accepted the ten taels of silver handed over by Wang Chengen, and thanked him.

Chongzhen rubbed his hands again and said, "Fang Yuan, you can find out if Tian Hongyu still has any comrades, and the family wealth has also been confiscated, if you can get 150,000 taels of silver, you can maintain another one or two months of Gyeonggi military expenses." At least 100,000 taels must be copied, otherwise the next month will be in arrears, alas! ”

Fang Yuan secretly wiped away his tears, and then he arched his hand and said, "Obey the order!" ”

The little eunuch outside the palace in Qianqing came to report, and Tian Guifei asked to see her outside the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was obviously still angry with her father Tian Hongyu's bullying, his face sank, and he said angrily, "She still has a face!" I've pretended to be so good in front of me all these years! ”

He transferred his anger towards Tian Hongyu to Tian Guifei, Wang Chengen wanted to speak carefully several times, but he was worried that he would touch his head, so he stopped talking.

Chongzhen was still angry, half an hour had passed, and he neither let Tian Guifei enter, nor drink to make her return to Yonghe Palace.

Fang Yuan secretly thought, Tian Guifei was seriously ill, and it was not a way to hang outside the Qianqing Palace like this, Tian Guifei was still killing her relatives this time, or should she say a few good words for her, so she said bluntly, "Your Majesty, when the minister interrogated Tian Hongyu, Tian Hongyu had confessed all the times, and said that this case was all done by him, and Tian Guifei didn't know about it. This time, it is all up to Tian Guifei's righteous killing of relatives to successfully investigate the case of Tian Hongyu, and please ask Your Majesty to be gracious. ”

Chongzhen snorted noncommittally, Wang Chengen saw that he didn't scold Fang Yuan, and he also had the courage to kneel in front of Chongzhen to plead, "Your Majesty, Tian Hongyu is Tian Hongyu, Tian Guifei is Tian Guifei, the concubine Niangniang has accompanied His Majesty in the palace for more than ten years, Yonghe Palace has been thrifty, and even the number of eunuchs and palace maids is the least in the harem. These are not disguised, and I ask Your Majesty to be merciful and pardon Concubine Tian. ”

The two sang and pleaded for Tian Guifei, Chongzhen's anger decreased slightly, patted the dragon case and said, "Let people go and pass on my message, so that the concubine will return to Yonghe Palace to recuperate well, and then send two ginseng." After I have dealt with Tian Hongyu's case, I will go to Yonghe Palace to visit. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly went to pass on Chongzhen's message, and Fang Yuan also took the opportunity to retire.

When the two of them left the Qianqing Palace, Fang Yuan took advantage of no one and whispered, "Princess, this time I confiscated Tian Hongyu's family wealth, and I also left a generous gift for all the fathers-in-law of the celebrant supervisor." ”

Wang Chengen looked at him in amazement, nodded and said, "Fang Baihu, you still have a heart, I will inform the other fathers-in-law." ”

The two of them went out of the Qianqing Gate, and Tian Guifei was still dragging her sick body to guard outside the palace gate.

This is the first time Fang Yuan has seen Tian Guifei's true face, describing her thinness, bloodless face, and full of morbidity, but from her eyebrows, she can still see indelible charm and delicateness, and she can vaguely see the charming demeanor of the year.

Wang Chengen pronounced Chongzhen's message, and Tian Guifei said disappointedly, "Ahem, cough, why didn't Your Majesty see me?" If Your Majesty is gone, I will not leave. ”

Wang Chengen comforted and said, "Concubine Niangniang, Tian Guozhang is greedy for 500,000 taels of silver, Your Majesty is still angry, if it weren't for Fang Baihu to intercede for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have said this." Niangniang still went back to the palace to recuperate first, and after a few days, His Majesty's anger was gone, and then I thought of taking Your Majesty to Yonghe Palace to visit Niangniang. ”

Tian Guifei nodded frustratedly, and her gaze fell on Fang Yuan, "Fang, Fang Baihu, it's all up to you this time, otherwise, the Tian family will really be doomed." ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly said, "This time it is all about the righteous destruction of the concubine Niangniang, the minister is a promise, and he will definitely not break his promise!" ”

Tian Guifei threw a grateful look at him, supported by the palace maid Qiu'er, and got on the phoenix.

Fang Yuan caught up with her Feng Yuan and whispered, "Concubine Niangniang, please be relieved, I have left 100,000 taels of silver to the Tian family, which is enough for the national father-in-law, as well as the Tian family's use in Jiangnan." ”

Tian Guifei's tears slid down her cheeks again, and she whimpered and said, "Woo, Fang Baihu, cough cough, your kindness, this palace has written it down." ”

Fang Yuan watched Tian Guifei's phoenix chariot leave far away, and sighed secretly, this Tian Guifei seemed to be pampered and arrogant, but in fact, she was a woman who understood righteousness and valued love and righteousness. Fang Yuan copied the Tian family, and she didn't see any anger, and her gratitude was also from the bottom of her heart. If it is changed to a week later, the consequences this time are really unimaginable.

Cao Aweng's vision of people is really old-fashioned!
