Chapter 540: Senior Brothers Meet

The death of the fifth prince, Xiang Yuyuan, many royal children with special thoughts died down, at least for a short time, and even the crown prince did not dare to make any transgressions.

But no one expected that there would be another big event next.

How rich the Tan family is, this question is actually a doubt in the minds of many people.

However, many people didn't expect that the answer to this question could really be revealed, or almost no one expected that the answer to this question would be revealed so quickly, when Tan Yuanshang was still alive.

The fact that the Tan family donated almost all of their property to the imperial court was, to some extent, more sensational than the death of the fifth prince, Xiang Yuyuan.

Of course, in the end, the emperor did not accept Tan Yuansheng to completely hand over everything of the Tan family to the imperial court, at least some of the shop business chains in all walks of life are still in the hands of the Tan family.

Because it is no longer the emperor's own or Tan Yuansheng's business to move these things, it may cause turmoil at the entire Dayong economic level.

But at least the main assets that can be handed over have been handed over, including but not limited to various fields and real estate, and even the luxurious Tan Mansion mansion in Chengtianfu City has also been handed over.

The officials of the household department of the imperial court did their best to count the assets handed over by the Tan family, and it took more than half a month to figure out a basic idea, and it took another month to calculate it clearly, but the work has just begun, mainly because the reconciliation is extremely cumbersome.

But for some of the basics, it's clear.

The Tan family's assets are indeed very exaggerated, but they seem to be somewhat surprisingly few.

From the perspective of the current money, the donation is estimated at 2.4 million taels of gold, more than 9 million taels of silver, and more than 10 million taels of copper.

Of course, this is an extremely large amount of money, but compared to the Tan family, it does not seem to be so exaggerated, which seems to be very contradictory, but it is the idea of many household officials and even many officials in the DPRK and China.

You must know that when Chengxing was 12 years old, Tan Yuanshang once donated more than 900,000 taels of gold, and Dayong's annual income was more than 90,000 yuan.

Now that more than 40 years have passed, the population of Dayong has doubled, and the annual income has reached nearly 20,000 yuan, which can be called the largest in history.

The Tan family must have reservations for themselves, does that keep a lot?

Not really.

Because the Tan family handed over not only assets, but also accounts, so many accounts that made many officials in the household department tremble.

Tan Yuansheng's accounts are extremely detailed, ranging from the monthly revenue of each store, to every wave of profits of the fleet going to sea, and of course, where to spend a lot of money.

Just by looking at this account, you can understand that the Tan family definitely makes a lot of money, but it is also spent quickly, and a lot of it is spent in the court and on the people of the world.

Judging from the accounts, it is true that no effort has been spared in the donations of money and materials in the years of disaster and military use, not to mention the fact that there are also measures to curb prices and cooperate with the government in implementing local decrees, and even to collect some improper land and return it to the people at a suitable price.

The accounts are not only in the Hongxing years, but also throughout the last years of Kangding, the Chengxing years, and the current Hongxing 20 years, of course, the household accounting is already the beginning of the 21st year of Hongxing.

Of course, in fact, the Tan family's own assets are still very large, after all, the existing gold and silver are not counted, and the donated mansions are all over Dayong, there are more than 300 houses, and the existing land is more than 230,000 mu, and dozens of mines, forests, ponds, gardens, etc.

There are more than ten mansions in the Chengtian Mansion alone, which are all owned by the Tan family, not only the Tan family's mansion as the world thinks.

If all these things were converted into gold and silver, it would be impossible to count.

What about the Tan family? How do they deal with themselves?

With the permission of the Son of Heaven, the Tan family can still live in the Tan mansion, even if the Tan family himself doesn't want to live, he can't move.

In the spring of the twenty-first year of Hongxing, Tan Yuanshang drank himself alone in the study room warmed by charcoal fire with side dishes, in addition to wine and food, there was also a piano on the table, and from time to time a simple melody would be played, which could be regarded as self-entertainment.

"Alas, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can I not think about myself as a person who has enjoyed it?"

Although the accounts are very clear, with Tan Yuansheng's ability, if you want to hide something, isn't it the same as playing?

In Tan Yuansheng's eyes, the Son of Heaven is still benevolent, but this is what he likes about this junior.

Although the Tan family's assets have been donated, the Tan family's business foundation has not moved, and the reason is also very legitimate, which will shake the livelihood and economy of Dayong.

But now Tan Yuanshang no longer holds the power alone, although the Tan family's business foundation is still there, he doesn't bother to ask anymore, let the Tan family children go to work by themselves, love to fight, love to fight.

In the days to come, I will enjoy life.

——

In the early summer of this year, Qi Zhongbin and Gray Mian came to Mingzhou.

After so many years, the ancient city of Mingzhou has already expanded several rounds outward, after all, the population is over there, how can it be done without expansion.

However, Mingzhou is still full of familiar feelings for Qi Zhongbin and Gray Mian.

They also went to see Yi Shuyuan's former residence, the relationship between the mound and the woodland over there, the focus of the expansion of Mingzhou City was not over there, there were already forests and grasses, but the house was actually very well preserved, much better than when Yi Shuyuan left, and there were even special people to take care of it.

However, Qi Zhongbin's former residence has long since collapsed, and now new houses have been built in that area, and a large number of residential houses have been planned, as if it is already a new residential area.

Walked through the various scenes of Mingzhou, went to the Niangniang Temple where the incense is still burning, tasted all kinds of snacks, and finally came to the door of Mofu with a mink.

The Mo Mansion has also been renovated a long time ago, at least the door looks slightly different.

Ash Mian sat on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, and stuffed the last small bun on his paw into his mouth, the mouth was like a little squirrel stuffed with a big acorn, and the whole thing bulged, but it didn't affect its chewing.

patted Qi Zhongbin on the shoulder with his tail, and the gray barely meant to let him call the door, but it hid itself, as if it was planning to surprise Shi Sheng.

"I don't know how my senior brother is doing now!"

Qi Zhongbin said this with a smile, and then walked to the door of Mofu, just gently knocked on the door and made a "bang" sound, and soon there was a footstep sound from inside.

The side door opened in the "gurgling" movement, and the door was opened by two young people who were completely strangers, they looked out left and right, and found Qi Zhongbin, and they didn't dare to slack off when they saw this appearance.

"What is the matter with you, old man?"

One of them came out to ask, and Qi Zhongbin bowed.

"Oh, this little brother, I'm tired of reporting, so I said that Qi Zhongbin came to visit."

The porter nodded, leaving a "Please wait!" One of them hurried in, leaving one to accompany him.

The person who stayed behind was looking at Qi Zhongbin at the moment, and at the same time frowned.

Qi Zhongbin? Sounds familiar.

The guy who went in to report actually felt that the name was a little familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while, but instinctively quickened his pace, after all, the old man had an extraordinary bearing at a glance, and it was definitely not ordinary.

When he arrived in the inner courtyard, a young man was playing chess with a pretty woman in the small courtyard by the porch, and suddenly saw the family running by in a hurry, and immediately shouted curiously and asked.

"Ah Jiu, what's the matter?"

The family responded as he ran.

"Second young master, there is a visitor named Qi Zhongbin outside, I'll go tell the master-"

The young man who played chess nodded, but still muttered.

"Why is Qi Zhongbin familiar?"

The young man turned his head, but saw that the woman playing chess with him had her mouth slightly open.

"What's wrong?"

The woman suppressed her astonishment.

"Isn't this the name of the old heavenly master, you forgot, at the end of last year, when the news came from Chengtian Mansion, you also came to my house to tell me about it, saying that it was a pity that you were not in the capital, otherwise you must go to Tianxuguan to visit the living immortals!"

The young man suddenly realized.

"Oh! I remembered, I said how familiar it sounded! But this. It should be the same name, right? No, I've got to check it out!"

"I'll go too!"

In the backyard, although Master Mo is old, most of his hair is still black, although he is not as bejeweled as Tan Yuansheng, but he is also very young.

"Who do you say?"

"Master, it's an old man, he said his name is Qi Zhongbin!"

"Hurry up, please, please, no, I'll go in person!"

Old Man Mo trotted to the front yard with the family, and an elderly family member who happened to be next to him was also excited to go with him, and the young man and woman just now had already run over.

It's just that there is one person who arrives before anyone else.

In front of the gate of the Mo Mansion, the family member suddenly got out of the way.

"Big Young Master"

Shi Sheng nodded towards the family, and then stepped out of the door directly to look at Qi Zhongbin who was waiting in front of the door.

"Senior brother!"

When he saw Shi Sheng, Qi Zhongbin was slightly stunned, but he immediately bowed to Shi Sheng, and the latter also returned the salute.

"Senior brother! Hehe, Lingjing City can make a lot of noise! ”

"Hahahaha, let the senior brother laugh!"

Qi Zhongbin laughed, and the gray voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the senior brothers.

"Oh, Shi Sheng, you are actually like this!"

Because Shi Sheng at this moment is actually a middle-aged person, he is obviously also doing it with the method of change.

"Gray Senpai?"

Shi Sheng was pleasantly surprised, only then did he find that Gray Mian had come out, and he subconsciously looked out again.

"Don't look, sir isn't here."

"Oh"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was two young people running up, and Shi Sheng smiled at Qi Zhongbin and Gray Mian.

"The Mo family also wants to pass on the ancestry, and my father and mother also want to hold their grandson."

Gray Mian nodded.

"Understand and understand, but it is to return to life, hidden in mortal life, it seems that we should not come!"

"Senior Gray, it's too late for me to be happy that you're coming!"

Shi Sheng smiled, and there was already a voice over there.

"Big brother? Big brother, I heard that there is a person with the same name as the Celestial Master here! ”

"Uh-huh, yes"

Shi Sheng responded, raised his eyebrows at Qi Zhongbin, and then looked back at the young man in front of the door, and at this time, Master Mo, who was only a little slower, also arrived.

Although he was old, his voice was a little more hearty than before, and the laughter came.

"Quick, open the door! Mr. Qi, after many years, are you okay? ”

Master Mo didn't come out of the side door, but asked the family to open the main door and strode out, bowing to Qi Zhongbin.
