"Meet His Royal Highness!"

At this time, Wang An came to worship.

Qin Wei bowed slightly, and said, "The prince has something to do with this king?" ”

"What His Royal Highness the King of the County ordered the old slave to do before, the old slave did not complete it, and please punish His Royal Highness!" Wang An bowed his head and said.

Qin Wei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did this king tell you to do?" ”

He didn't remember what he had told Wang An before, he just asked Wang An to be in charge of contacting the Imperial City Division.

"It's about looking for the Ancient Sword Gate Xuanhuang." Wang Andao.

Qin Wei patted his head and suddenly remembered this.

It's no wonder that he has a poor memory, at that time he just wanted to meet Xuanhuang on a whim and learn about the ancient sword gate, so he ordered Wang An to find Xuanhuang.

Afterwards, because of the affairs of the Chengguo Mansion, he left this matter behind.

If Wang An hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten Xuanhuang.

"He left Kyoto?" Qin Wei asked.

"Well, yesterday the people of the Imperial City Division found their whereabouts, but they knocked out the people of the Imperial City Division and ran away!" Wang An explained.

After seeing what happened to the Chengguo Mansion, Ding Ruoheng and Xuanhuang were like frightened birds, eager to fly out of Kyoto City immediately, and they didn't want to see anyone at all.

So after they saw the people of the Imperial City Division, they ran away without saying a word, and they didn't give the people of the Imperial City Division a chance to speak at all.

"Are the people of the Imperial City Division alright?"

"It's okay, the other party didn't do it ruthlessly." Wang Andao.

Qin Wei nodded, thoughtful.

"If you can run, the monk can't run the temple. They can run, but the Ancient Sword Gate can't! ”

"Forget it, wait in advance, you go to the Imperial City Division first to borrow the dossier of the Tianzhou Sect forces."

Next, Zhenwu Si was going to Tianzhou, but before going to Tianzhou, Qin Wei had to find out the situation of the Tianzhou sect's forces first.

As for Xuanhuang and Gu Jianmen, since they have a relationship, they may have to be close to each other in the future.

That's right, Qin Wei wants to be close to Gu Jian Sect, as for Gu Jian Sect is willing or not, it doesn't matter.

……

Time flies!

The raid of the Chengguo Mansion lasted for half a month.

And when the wealth of the Chengguo Mansion was exposed to everyone's vision, everyone was shocked.

Ten million taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, and countless other jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings.

It may be an exaggeration to say that the Chengguo Mansion is rich and rivals the country, but the inner treasury of the Lihuang Emperor can't take out 10 million taels of silver, which shows how rich the Chengguo Mansion is.

In addition to these, Chengguo Mansion also has millions of acres of fertile land, hundreds of shops, and all aspects of the industry.

Imperial City, in the Imperial Study.

Emperor Lihuang looked at the folds sent by the Criminal Department.

There is no emotion on the wrinkled face.

"The Four Great Mansions shocked me!"

"Lu Sheng, do you think the other three national mansions will be the same?"

When Gonggong Lu heard this, he trembled.

"The old slave doesn't know, but the Yasukuni Mansion should be far inferior to the Chengguo Mansion."

"Oh! Is it? "Lihuang Road.

Father-in-law Lu bowed his head and said: "The private property in the Yasukuni Mansion is only one million!" ”

Emperor Lihuang raised his head, looked at him with Gujing Wubo's eyes, then nodded, and asked, "What about the palaces?" ”

Gonggong Lu's head was lower, "The Pingwang Mansion and the Anwang Mansion should be no worse than the Chengguo Mansion!" ”

"Where's the East Palace?"

"The East Palace has its own treasurer!" Gonggong Lu said in a deep voice.

Emperor Lihuang bowed slightly.

The East Palace has its own treasurer and officials appointed by the court, so there will not be a large amount of private property, but the Changshi Division of the Ping Wangfu and the Anwang Mansion have already become the retainers of the two princes, so naturally there will be a lot of private property.

"The Imperial City Division's ability is still a little worse!"

Gonggong Lu's body shook slightly, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a low voice: "It's the old slave who is incompetent, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him." ”

The Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of Emperor Li, and is not only responsible for helping Emperor Lihuang find out civil news, but also responsible for monitoring court officials.

The Chengguo Mansion has so much private property, and the Imperial City Division has never mentioned it before.

"Get up, they're all half-cut people in the ground, can I still cut you down!" Emperor Lihuang waved his hand casually.

When Gonggong Lu heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This time it is indeed the dereliction of duty of the Imperial City Division, but this cannot be blamed on the Imperial City Division.

After all, the Four Great Princes Mansion has existed for hundreds of years, and the wealth accumulated is innumerable, and although the Imperial City Division's ability to search for intelligence is very powerful, it is not easy to figure out how much wealth the Chengguo Mansion has.

Besides, Emperor Lihuang has always had no intention of targeting the Chengguo Mansion, and the Imperial City Division naturally will not spend a lot of energy on the Chengguo Mansion.

"Check the Duke of Ning and the Duke of Rongguo, and there are several other palaces, as well as the palace of Xin'an County!" Emperor Li said softly.

"The old slave commands!"

Father-in-law Lu hurriedly responded.

……

Takeshi Zhen.

Qin Wei also received news from the Criminal Department.

Since reaching a settlement with Wei Rong, the relationship between the Criminal Department and Zhenwusi has become much closer. The Zhenwu Division has places where the Criminal Department needs to cooperate, and as long as it is reasonable, the Criminal Department will cooperate.

For a trivial matter like this to deliver news, there is no need for Qin Wei to ask, Wei Rong will take the initiative to send someone to Qin Wei to send a copy.

Looking at the letter sent by Wei Rong, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

"This Chengguo Mansion is really rich enough!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

Not to mention anything else, these 10 million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold alone made Qin Wei feel like he couldn't reach them.

His county palace is also considered wealthy, not only has his own land, but also receives a very rich salary from the Zongren Mansion.

Qin Wei had estimated before that the county prince's mansion would probably be able to earn 50,000 to 80,000 taels of silver a year, and there were some miscellaneous things, but it would not reach 100,000 taels anyway.

After subtracting the annual expenses of the county king's mansion, as long as Qin Wei doesn't mess around, there should be twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver left.

Of course, Qin Wei can also embezzle, there are still nearly two million taels of silver in the treasury of the Zhenwu Division, if Qin Wei wants to, he can bring it back to the county king's mansion.

"It's a pity, I knew that the Chengguo Mansion was so rich, and this king would definitely go to rub the oil!"

Qin Wei said a little depressed.

Now it's time for the town to use the money.

As the number of soldiers in the town martial arts increased, the money consumed increased.

In addition, Qin Wei also plans to go to Tianzhou to establish a branch of the Zhenwu Division, which will definitely require a large amount of silver.

"But it's not like there's no chance now!"

Qin Wei's eyes lit up.

After that, he came to Li Ru's office study.

"Your Highness!" Li Ru, who was busy, saw Qin Wei and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Excuse me, this king has something to do for you." Qin Wei said.

"Your Highness, please." Li Rudao.

"Write a note and ask for silver for the town martial arts." Qin Wei said.

The silver copied from the Chengguo Mansion will definitely go into the inner treasury of Emperor Li, and will not enter the pockets of the household.

"Ask for silver!" Li Ru was slightly stunned, "Your Highness, we are not short of silver at present. ”

"How can there be no shortage? Now we are recruiting soldiers, and it won't be long before we have 8,000 soldiers in the Zhenwu Division, plus the scribes, there are as many as 10,000 people in the entire Zhenwu Division. ”

"10,000 people, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be distributed every month, plus other expenses, at least two million per year."

"And this king also plans to establish a town martial arts division in the thirteen states, how can he build it without silver?"

Qin Wei said with a wink.

The salary of the ordinary soldiers of the Zhenwu Division is thirty percent more than that of the soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion, and the 12th Regiment Battalion itself is the elite of the elite, and their salary is much higher than that of other soldiers.

The monthly salary of the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division is about five taels of silver, and the monthly salary of more than 8,000 soldiers is 40,000 taels.

Coupled with the salaries of other officials, the monthly expenditure of Zhenwu Si alone is about 50,000 taels.

There were also horses, bows, crossbows, armor, grain, grass, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and so on, all of which cost a lot of silver.

"Well, the Criminal Department copied out ten million taels of silver in the Chengguo Mansion!"

The previous words are all nonsense, and the key is the last sentence.

Li Ru instantly understood Qin Wei's meaning.

"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will write a recital!" Li Ru said with a smile.

Qin Wei coughed lightly, "Apply for five million taels first." ”

If you want money, you must also pay attention to strategy, and when it is time for the lion to open his mouth, he must not be soft.

Applying for five million taels was the bargaining space left by Qin Wei to Emperor Li.

As long as Emperor Lihuang can give half of it, Qin Wei will be satisfied.
