Zeng Yutong arrived home, took off his makeup, and rested, at this time, the prince Qin Guosong came back, Zeng Yutong was busy serving her husband to change clothes, clean his face, and was busy, and the husband and wife sat and talked.

Qin Guosong asked: "How is the dowry of my sister in the family?" ”

Zeng Yutong said: "Hey, speaking of which, I prepared for the marriage of our national teacher's sister, and the time and energy I spent was not as much as the energy spent by the aunts who got married. Everything is ready-made. My sister is full of people who have to be used, and they have money and power, so they directly took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and went to all parts of the Great Zhou to buy them, of course, not only the things of the Great Zhou, but even the good things of the surrounding Wumen Three Kingdoms, as well as the good things of overseas countries, all of which were bought, and the mansion of King Qin and my sister's own mansion were beautifully decorated. I don't even have to meddle, I just wait for them to buy things back, and go over to check with Mama Liao and Mama Ma. ”

"You also know that this Mama Liao and Mama Ma are the ones who have been following their sister for the longest time. One is the most shrewd and capable old lady in our house, and the other is from the palace who has served the Queen Mother and Master Shen Tianshi. That's a great way to do it. So, I don't have anything to do with it at all. ”

"However, we still have to repair the inside of our own mansion, although our mansion has been newly decorated in recent years, but when the time comes, the national teacher will marry from our mansion, and our mansion will also be neat. Especially the Piaoxiang Courtyard where my sister lives now, it has to be perfect. ”

"Actually, I don't have to worry about these things, they all have stewards to do them. It's the decorations and curtains, gold, silver and jade, and antique toys that are all her own, but Mama Ma took them out of the treasury and asked me to look at them and give an opinion. ”

"There is also a big head is the dowry on the day of the marriage of the national teacher. The most important thing in this dowry is the dowry list. Other people's dowry list is just a piece of paper, that is, I, who was known as ten miles of red makeup, was just a few pieces of paper, but the national teacher's is actually a thick book. ”

"I had to flip it open and take a look, it was really scary, all kinds of rare treasures, I am afraid that the emperor's treasury in the palace is just like this. Not to mention the industries in the capital and other provinces worth more than three million taels. By the way, there are really not many industries of national teachers in other provinces, that is, there are some in Ba Province and Hu Province, as well as Jiangnan, Lingnan and some other courtyards and granges. The main industries are concentrated in the capital. The grange in the best area and the shop on West Street are all rare good industries. This income alone in a year, I calculated, it was enough to spend on the National Teacher's Mansion. ”

Qin Guosong nodded and said: "Although I don't know what the specifics are, but the prince is a Taoist platform, and later, the emperor cleaned Xiao Xi's line, how many nobles in the capital have fallen, and the family property has been confiscated and sold by the emperor. What's more, it's the bright moon. It is said that the emperor took out all the best properties for Mingyue to choose first. Mingyue didn't take the opportunity to buy a good property? This is still Mingyue's lightheartedness, with Mingyue's current financial resources, it is not a problem to take down all the industries of these two families. ”

However, Mingyue said that everything is left in a line, and it is good to meet later, and you can't swallow it alone, besides, this family produces silver and the like, just enough to spend, and it's useless to have more. Speaking of which, I'll tell you a letter, in fact, the bigwigs in the court know it. I just didn't tell ordinary people. ”

"Didn't I get an errand and go to the entire Great Zhou to cultivate the official road? This matter was supposed to start this year, but because of Mingyue's marriage, the emperor asked me to let my subordinates do things first, and I will go out of the capital next year. This is a big thing of 10 million taels of silver, and if it is done, it will be a big thing for the benefit of the Great Zhou and the future generations. That's a lot of silver, you know? It was all Mingyue alone, so the emperor ordered me to take care of this matter. ”

As soon as he said this, Zeng Yutong was taken aback: "Oh my God, this is more than 10 million taels of silver?" So much? Our Fuchunhou family has accumulated for so many generations, and there is not a fraction of this? ”

Qin Guosong said: "This is nothing. I didn't know before. At the beginning, when my sister became a disciple of the national teacher, I just felt honored. Now I know that if this becomes a national teacher, the power will naturally be monstrous. However, there is no need to worry about this silver from now on. Not to mention that every national teacher in all dynasties is a rich man. Let's just talk about the former national teacher, and now Master Shen Tianshi, who has become a monk. ”

"When he became a monk, the money of the world was of no use to him. Therefore, he took out all the remaining property in his hand, the money, and distributed a part of it to his descendants, and most of the rest was invested in the Daomen. All of them were used in the construction of Taoism. I heard that there were 30,000,000,000 taels of silver. ”

Zeng Yutong already felt that his brain was not enough: "Thirty million taels of silver? How much silver does our Great Zhou court only earn in a year? ”

Qin Guosong said: "The Great Zhou court, in the hands of the first emperor, only had more than 10 million taels of silver every year, but in the hands of the emperor, he worked hard to make the country prosperous, and then it was restored to 20 million taels of silver. Sometimes it's a little worse. However, in the past few years, Da Zhou's situation has become better and better, although he has fought several small battles, but Da Zhou still earns almost 245 million taels of silver every year. It's not enough for Shen Tianshi to take out more silver. ”

Zeng Yutong smacked his tongue: "Oh, this national teacher is all monstrous wealth." In the past, our family and the Shen family interacted, and when we saw the wealth of the Shen family, we already felt that it was at the top, and now that we look at it, it is exactly what it should be. ”

Qin Guosong said: "Hey, this topic is far away. Just as the dowry of the month, Mingyue has a lot of silver in her hand, and she doesn't know how to spend it well. You know, she actually sold all the recipes for the very profitable printed silk segments in her hand. ”

Zeng Yutong said: "Well, our family also bought a copy and used it in Dongyang Province, the province where the clan is located, and I have sent people back to the clan to set up a weaving and dyeing workshop." There should be a profit next year. In addition, my sister-in-law's mother's family also bought one from one province, and my eldest brother also bought one and sent it back to our Zeng family's hometown to run a workshop. ”

"We are all ordinary provinces, and I have spent more than 200,000 taels of silver. I heard that those wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and Lingnan spent nearly a million taels of silver to buy formulas. I don't know how much silver does this add up. It's really a sea of gold and silver. ”
