"How much?" Zhu Qizhen returned to the palace, and in less than two hours, he received a report from Wang Jinchang, and heard that from the Guo Rui Mansion in the Xuan Mansion, a total of more than 9,870 taels of gold and 231,540 taels of silver were found.

"More than nine thousand eight hundred and seventy taels of gold, and two hundred and thirty-one thousand five hundred and forty taels of silver, all of which are converted into silver, are three hundred and thirty thousand taels. Listening to what Master Wang and Guo Rui said, there were originally more than 130,000 taels of silver here, because they heard that the Xuanfu was going to open a border trade, so this time, they brought nearly 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. Wang Jinchang's expression was very strange, the muscles on his face twitched from time to time, like the early lesion of a hemiplegic stroke patient, and his eyes were a little red, as if he had just gone to play two all-night mahjong. It seems that how much gold and silver is also a big stimulus for Wang Jinchang.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a dignified court official, facing the gold and silver piled up like a hill, he might have the mind to rob with a knife and a mask.

"This is not counting the antiques and utensils in the house, Weichen really doesn't understand these things, so he can't estimate the value for the time being. However, his big mansion alone, in this part of Xuanfu, does not have thousands of taels of silver, I am afraid that he will not be able to take it. ”

"So many ......" Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but touch his forehead, your sister's, more than 9,870 taels of gold, when converted, isn't it nearly 500 kilograms of gold? Coupled with the more than 230,000 taels of silver, how much yuan is this worth, how many dollars?

At this time, the price is not comparable to the later generations, one or two silver, in the past few years, even able to buy four stone rice, the Ming Dynasty one stone of rice weighs one hundred and twenty catties, but the Ming Dynasty's "catty" can be much heavier than the later generations of the "city catty", the Ming Dynasty one catty is close to the later generations of one catty six taels, converted, one stone is almost equal to more than one hundred and eighty catties, four stone rice, that is almost equivalent to seven hundred and fifty catties of rice, enough for an adult to consume a year's rations.

According to the purchasing power of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty today, this is equivalent to the net worth of a moderately rich man in the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he thought of this, the fire in Zhu Qizhen's stomach went straight up again, and then he lay down in the groove, this is just Guo Shun, the eunuch of Datong Town, is located in the courtyard of Xuanfu, this guy has been in Datong for about the same time as Yan Shun, thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen's eyes also turned red, as if someone had thrown fire coals into his eyes, and it was scorching. "It's your subordinates who went to raid it?"

-------------------- "Your Majesty, rest assured, it is all under the hearts and minds of the ministers, as well as the brocade guards of the Xuanfu." After all, it's really a bit ...... for the border army to do this," Wang Jinchang scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.

Zhu Qizhen nodded, beckoned Wang Jinchang to come to him, and instructed in a low voice: "You have done a good job, you can think of this stubble, so let's take 10,000 taels of silver to the Jinyi Wei of Xuanfu, 10,000 taels to the prefect of Xuanfu, and for the rest, you leave another 10,000 taels of silver for you and your brothers, after all, they have contributed a lot today." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Wang Jinchang hurriedly bowed: "How can this make your majesty, how dare you take these treasures." ”

"Since you are my subordinate, you still listen to my words, let you take it, you will take it, I will not send hungry soldiers, you know?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but raise his face and shouted. Yuan Bin next to him smiled and helped Wang Jinchang and said: "General Wang, you still listen to His Majesty, after all, the brothers have also made great efforts, and they have found so much silver, Your Majesty's reward is what the soldiers deserve, understand?" ”

Hearing Yuan Bin's words, and seeing Zhu Qizhen's face with disgust, Wang Jinchang bowed down again to thank him. "Thank you for the favor of His Majesty, and when the minister returns, he will definitely explain His Majesty's kindness to the soldiers, so that the soldiers will feel Your Majesty's grace."

"Okay, get up quickly, Yuan Bin, you go with General Wang, and send these silver collected from Guofu to the Jinyiwei of Xuanfu and the yamen of Xuanfu, which can be regarded as appeasing their hearts, saving them from worrying about their old accounts after the autumn, and in addition, let them also do things for me to verify what kind of Guo Rui has done in Xuanfu. Do you understand? ”

Yuan Bin nodded understandingly, pulled Wang Jinchang and left, and Zhu Qizhen patted the case as if venting. "Guo Shun, Yan Shun, look at the name given, but I don't think anyone is the one who makes Lao Tzu happy."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ......" Qian Yiniang, who was stepping into the hall with a tray, heard Zhu Qizhen's words, and was so frightened that she almost threw away the tray in her hand, and her beautiful eyes widened. You've lost your honor. ”

Zhu Qizhen touched his nose a little embarrassedly, laughed dryly and said, "It's a loss of etiquette, and it's not all about making those dogs angry." You should know that Guo Shun's stepson Guo Rui I caught today is. ”

"By the way, what's wrong? Could it be that he annoyed His Majesty again? Qian Yiniang nodded, and after putting the tray away, she picked up the bowl of chilled white fungus lotus seed soup and handed it to Zhu Qizhen's hand, with a curious expression.

"How much silver was found in the mansion alone? If you knew, I am afraid it would not be much better. Zhu Qizhen took it and took a sip, the slightest coolness through the bones made the irritable body a little more cool, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed happily, although there is no refrigerator in this era, but who in a big family does not have an ice kiln?

In the summer, he relied on those ice to cool off, although this kind of refrigerator couldn't move like that, but at least Zhu Qizhen enjoyed the coolness like ice cream in the 21st century.

After listening to what Zhu Qizhen said, Qian Yiniang couldn't help but be taken aback. "So much? He is a eunuch in Datong Town, no matter how rich he is, how can he be rich to such a point. ”

"Hmph, how to say it, in a word, this money will definitely not be clean." Zhu Qizhen smiled coldly. "I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know what kind of surprise these five town guards and garrison eunuchs in Xuanfu Border Town can bring to me."

-------------------- Yan Shun sat in his back hall, his eyes looked at everything around him with a little stagnant, this is a hall decorated to the extreme, and it is also his favorite place to stay in Xia Yu, the curtains in it, or other silk cloths, are the best, and those hooks are all gold and silver, as for his favorite couch, it is made of the most top-of-the-line sandalwood, and the lines on it are also decorated with gold and silver, in a word, this is not a small flower hall, The gold and silver used for decoration alone are thousands of taels each.

Not counting those exquisite furnishings, the dishes inlaid with gems and agate, and even the jade pillow used for napping, is also the top Hetian jade, carefully carved by famous craftsmen, just this exquisite jade pillow, to the market, can be said to be worth a thousand gold is not an exaggeration.

Usually, Yan Shun will feel extremely satisfied when he sees all this, even if he stays here for a whole day, he will not get tired of it, for Yan Shun, a eunuch who has lost his penis, can no longer have children, and does not even have the ability to have sex, he can only completely transfer his ** to his obsession with money.

climbed up step by step, until he became the town guard eunuch on the side of the town, Yan Shun spent nearly twenty-five years, and in Xuanfu Border Town, it was only a few years, and the wealth that Yan Shun had accumulated, I am afraid that if he didn't look at the account books, even he didn't know how much silver he had.

But one thing is for sure, there are at least five or six hundred thousand taels, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Hong was too powerful in Xuanfu, coupled with the prestige of the dragon, no one could resist, so Yan Shun didn't dare to be as unscrupulous as Guo Shun in Datong, but even what, he was still able to accumulate these five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as a skill.

And in the past half a year, after the old guy Yang Hong left, Jiang Fu was a good old man, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and was pinched to death by Yan Shun, at least that Luo Hengxin, it was difficult to support alone, Yan Shun also thought that he wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to show his strength, and strive to be like his predecessors, earn enough money to support the elderly, and by the way, build some temples, so as to cultivate blessings for himself in the next life.

But who would have thought that Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, would actually come to Xuanfu, and stay here and not leave, and a few days ago, he made up a trading company, which made Yan Shun very unhappy, so he secretly instructed everyone not to participate in the trading company, at least to let the emperor retreat.

Things seem to be going quite smoothly, and since these days, none of the officials present in the Xuanfu Land have declared that they are willing to invest in the trading company, which makes Yan Shun feel very relieved.

However, since Emperor Taishang announced that he would allow Xuanfu Zhuwen and Wu to freely participate in the shareholding trading company, no official has stood up to respond, and he actually seems to have no reaction, which really makes Yan Shun a little unpredictable.

And yesterday, Zhu Qizhen, the dignified Emperor of the Emperor, didn't know which tendon he smoked, and played a private interview with Weifu, but as a result, he happened to meet Guo Rui, who had just arrived in Xuanfu, and what happened next was so dazzling that Yan Shun could hardly react.

By the time Yan Shun came to his senses, Guo Rui and the master Wang and a cadre of Guo Mansion had already been taken out of prison, and Guo Shun's mansion in Xuanfu was also ordered by His Majesty the Emperor Taishang to raid the Jinyi Wei and Wang Jinchang.
