In the upper study, Guan Xuqing was looking at the telegram sent from Yunnan. The French aggression against Vietnam was being reported. Guan Xuqing frowned and didn't say a word. At this moment, Wang Shang hurriedly ran in.

"The slave greets the emperor." Wang Shang knelt down and said.

"Well, what's the matter?" Guan Xuqing continued to lower his head and look at the folds.

"Your Majesty, the family properties of the rebellious Li Lianying, Gui Xiang and other henchmen have all been investigated and sealed. It has been collected and deposited into the state treasury by Mr. Li himself at the household department. Now Master Li is out asking to see him. Wang Shang knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh? Let him in. Guan Xuqing raised his head and said.

"Chirp"

After a while, Li Zhen ran in excitedly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look......"

"Look at your little bit of interest, and make you like this by copying a house?" Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

Li Zhen suddenly realized something and hurriedly knelt down. "The minister knocks to see the emperor"

"Life, there are not so many rules in the study here." Guan Xuqing stepped forward to help Li Zhen.

"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be forgotten anywhere, the minister has just lost his temper." Li Zhen said ashamedly.

"What makes you like this?" Guan Xuqing turned around and returned to the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just collected the property of Li Lianying, Gui Xiang and other rebel henchmen confiscated by the Imperial Forest Army. Look at ......," Li Zhen said excitedly.

Guan Xuqing took the account book and looked straight at it. Good fellow, just a eunuch. There are actually three houses in the capital, with 5,000 taels of gold and 6,000,000 taels of silver. There are countless kinds of jade jewelry.

"The minister made a rough estimate, and Li Lianying was alone. After the auction of all the real estate, pawnshops, and jewelry, it is estimated that it will be equivalent to more than 30 million taels of silver. All the rebellions were confiscated in total, which was equivalent to 100,300,560,000 taels of silver. Li Zhen continued.

"Damn, that's a lot...... Hahaha, what a timely rain. Guan Xuqing laughed loudly. This is probably the thing that has made Guan Xuqing the happiest recently.

"Your Majesty, there is so much more silver in the treasury. Do you still need to issue any national debt? Li Zhen said.

"Hair, of course. The more the merrier. Now the most scarce thing in the Qing Dynasty is silver, and no matter how much silver you give me, I will have a place to use it. Moreover, the people kept their money in the banks of the Qing Dynasty, and their interests were tied to the interests of the state. You said that with the support of the people, I am like a tiger with wings. Since ancient times, the military and the people have been one. Guan Xuqing said.

"Actually, I have a lot of resources. There is nothing lacking, as long as the officials are united and law-abiding. In less than two years, the treasury will be full. Li Zhen told the truth.

"You're right, if it's a lion, you say it's fat. But if you change it to a sheep or a pig, you say it's fat. Not a good sign. Guan Xuqing picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and continued: "Besides, my Qing officials are far from reaching the point where everyone is clean and honest and law-abiding. Even so, the treasury was rich in silver. I just did the job of a transport captain, collected the silver and handed it over to the foreigners. ”

Li Zhen frowned and nodded as if he didn't understand.

"So, I want to develop the military. Only when the Qing army was strong could it resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Foreigners want to take advantage of my Qing Dynasty? Don't! I am a lion, not a lamb to be slaughtered! Guan Xuqing looked into the distance and said indignantly.

"Emperor Shengming" Li Zhen couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

"You go down first, Daqing Bank has to prepare quickly, I will give you a month. At least near the capital, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations should open a few semicolons first. Guan Xuqing commanded.

"Oh, the minister must live up to his mission." Li Zhen knelt down and said.
