Yang Tingjian didn't want to get involved, this is all Chongzhen and the cabinet boss for money, in fact, this has no effect at all, as long as the tax system of the Ming Dynasty is not changed, it is the system of tax exemption for damn meritorious people, and the dilemma of the Ming court without money cannot be fundamentally changed.

Twenty percent of the gentry owned 80 percent of the wealth but did not pay taxes, while 80 percent of the common people owned only 20 percent of the wealth, but they had to bear all the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, plus the part that corrupt officials levied.

If the people are being heard, suppressed, and practiced, then there is still a way for the people to live! If you don't go back, you have to go back, so Yang Tingjian can't stand up and speak, this Liao Xiang is self-inflicted, he can't live, and Liao Xiang must not be levied.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this silver should still be handed over to the cabinet lords, now the thieves and the Tartars are indeed making a lot of trouble, and now the great disasters are continuous, and the people are extremely poor, as for the Liao Xiang, there is no need to levy it!"

"You ......"

After listening to Yang Tingjian's words, Chongzhen almost didn't choke to death by his own saliva, stared at Yang Tingjian with a pair of slightly red eyes, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Yang Aiqing, I still don't know how much silver is in this cellar! It was carried out of almost a million taels, and what if there were ten million taels of silver in this cellar? Shall I also hand it over to the Cabinet? ”

Chongzhen said the opposite, he was angry! I treated you Yang Tingjian well, personally promoted you to Nanzhen Fusi Zhenfu, and asked you to recruit Jinyi Wei Fanzi, and gave you the grace of the hereditary Jinyi Wei hundred households, and as a result, this is how your kid repaid me.

How could Yang Tingjian not know that Chongzhen was fighting with himself, Chongzhen at this time, in the final analysis, was just a twenty-one-year-old young man who had not gone far away.

"Hehe, don't worry, I estimate that the silver in this left ear room is at least more than two million taels, so it is better to allocate two million taels to the household department to deal with the current crisis."

This time, Chongzhen vomited blood even more, and the silver that he couldn't get was gone in a blink of an eye, and this Yang Tingjian kid, as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted me to allocate two million taels to the outer court, and this kid simply turned his arm out.

"No...... My inner library is also empty at this time...... I'm going to send 1,000,000 taels of domestic currency to the household! ”

When the cabinet ministers heard this, they immediately overjoyed and thought:

"This Yang Tingjian is good, I heard that it is still this new science and technology Xie Yuan, although this kid is willing to fall and become the emperor's minion, but this kid has not forgotten his identity as a civil servant."

Several ministers hurriedly stepped forward to thank the emperor for his generosity.

"The generosity of the countless victims of the disaster and the soldiers who defended the frontier for the Ming Dynasty."

Wei Guangzheng's high-sounding reason, in the mouths of those civil ministers, it came as soon as they opened their mouths, in fact, how much of this million taels of silver could reach the hands of the victims and soldiers, I am afraid that it is less than three layers, and the rest have gone into the pockets of officials at all levels.

Chongzhen was in a very unhappy mood, and he didn't want to answer the words of several cabinet ministers, but waved his hand and asked several cabinet ministers to leave.

After several cabinet ministers left, Emperor Chongzhen's anger still did not subside, and he stared at Yang Tingjian angrily and said with ill intentions:

"Yang Aiqing, you haven't made a name for yourself before you become a scholar, and you want to curry favor with a few cabinet ministers, it's very cool, right! But you know what? I'm very angry now, my one million taels of silver is gone, and you have to be responsible for helping me find one million taels of silver, no, it's two million taels, and nothing less. ”

This Chongzhen is really the temper of the second middle school boy, isn't it just that he allocated a million taels of silver, fortunately, Chongzhen did not blame Yang Tingjian, but let Yang Tingjian continue to find the silver out, which is really not a difficult thing for Yang Tingjian.

Because Wei Zhongxian not only hid this silver, the historical record is that there are more than forty cellars of silver, Yang Tingjian estimates that it is not so exaggerated, there should be several cellars, and the total amount should be about five million taels.

"Weichen obeys, let's find this place today! After tomorrow, Weichen will come to search for it...... The forbidden land in the inner court, let's let Wechen's flat wife bring Wechen to search! ”

In the palace, the harem where the special concubines live, Yang Tingjian is a big man, it is better not to run around, so as not to be impeached and disturb the court, then there is no place to die.

Although Yang Tingjian could easily escape, he also said that the mission of traveling to the Ming Dynasty to save the Chinese nation had failed. What's more, Yang Tingjian still has an important thing to do, which is to go back to his hometown, to see the grave of the little sister next door, and ask the people around him if the little sister next door Yan'er is dead.

Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan is exactly the same as her little sister next door, so Yang Tingjian suspected that Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan was the little sister next door who crossed over, but Yang Tingjian watched the little sister next door be buried! Yang Tingjian had to go back and see it in person to solve the mystery.

In the evening, all the silver in the left ear room of the Qianqing Palace was finally hoisted out, and after statistics, a total of more than 23.8 million taels and 100,000 taels of gold. excavated such gold and silver at one time, so that Chongzhen forgot about his previous unhappiness and praised Yang Tingjian repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, Yang Aiqing was able to excavate Wei Gelding's hidden silver from the left ear room of the Qianqing Palace this time, Yang Aiqing contributed a lot, how can Yang Aiqing reward you if you need me?"

This Emperor Chongzhen seems to be praising Yang Tingjian, and wants to give Yang Tingjian a reward, but why doesn't Yang Tingjian understand! In fact, this is Emperor Chongzhen testing himself, and Yang Tingjian doesn't need any rewards at all, except for antiques.

"Thank you for your kindness, if your Majesty wants to reward Weichen, then give Weichen a set of Ruyao porcelain!"

Ru porcelain with precious agate as the glaze, the color is unique, there is "agate for the glaze of the ancient" praise. With the change of light, look at its glaze color, just like the beauty of "rain after the sky and clear clouds", warm and simple. The surface of the vessel is a small opening piece with cicada wing pattern, and it is called "pear skin crab claw sesame flower". Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the court Ru porcelain utensils, the inner library is hidden, regarded as a treasure, and Shang Yi Zhou Ding is more expensive. It is called "even if you have a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of porcelain".

On April 4, 2012, Sotheby's Hong Kong held an auction of "Chinese porcelain and handicrafts", and the 900-year-old "Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Azure Glazed Sunflower Wash" was sold at a sky-high price of 207.86 million Hong Kong dollars after 34 bids, which was more than 3 times higher than the reserve price before the auction and set a new world auction record for Song porcelain.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty court collection of Ru kiln porcelain is still a lot, conservatively estimated no less than a hundred, at this time the value of Ru kiln porcelain is also very expensive, light is thousands of taels of silver, heavy is tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Yang Tingjian opened his mouth to ask for a set of Ru kiln porcelain, this complete set of porcelain that is worth even more, even in the Ming Dynasty.
