The first volume of the rich family in the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhou Prefecture. The gathering of the wind and clouds, Volume 4, Chapter 125, the national treasury suddenly became full. How much money did Yan Song greedy?

It should be said that real money and silver are not much, or Yan Song replaced almost all real money and silver with other things.

For example, calligraphy and paintings, the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters of all dynasties copied from Yanfu were at least worth more than tens of millions of taels.

There are also antiques, so it is difficult to estimate this thing, because it is worth it if someone offers a starting price.

In fact, these are not the main assets of the Yan family. Later, Jinyiwei made amazing discoveries when counting various treasure chests and property.

They found not many things, only a few boxes, but the value of these things is quite amazing.

So, what are these things? They are more valuable than gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.

These things are actually very common, and it can even be said that they are available at home by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

These things are really common, they are just land origin deeds.

However, the Yan Mansion’s land deeds are scary. The Yan family has embraced as many as millions of acres of fertile land alone, and there are also tens of thousands of houses and thousands of shops of various types!

These are amazing. Take fertile land as an example. One acre is at least twenty taels, and a million acres are worth more than 20 million taels!

Yang Cong was shocked when he saw these land deeds. Yan Song was really greedy!

His arrest of Yan Song and his punishment really scared all the corrupt officials in the court. Yan Song can be said to be the ancestor of corrupt officials in the Jiajing Dynasty. He was punished so miserably, who dared to be corrupt casually?

Even if you are greedy for money, you have to have the life to spend it. Yan Song has all three tribes destroyed!

After this big rectification, the corrupt officials in the court became honest for the time being. However, Zhu Zaiwen had a headache because most of the things he copied from Yan Song's house were not gold and silver, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and land origin deeds. What is the use of him holding it?

He really didn't know how to deal with this question, so he could only ask Yang Cong.

In the imperial study, the master and apprentice sat opposite each other again. Zhu Zai Di said helplessly: "Mr., how can you deal with the property copied from Yan Song's mansion? Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, land deeds, etc., can't be eaten or spent as money. It's really a headache to keep it in your hands."

He has been the emperor for a while now. He still pretends to be more majestic in front of outsiders, but in front of Yang Cong, he still feels a little bit talking to his family, and he is not majestic at all.

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but smile. This question is easy to deal with.

How to deal with these things? He actually had a long time ago. He just didn't want to overstep his affairs and make decisions on Zhu Zai's behalf, because that would damage the majesty of the imperial power.

Now that Zhu Zaiji asked about it, it would be easy to deal with it. He said without hesitation: "Weichen has some ideas about these things. Weichen feels that land, houses, shops, etc. can be sold now and exchanged for cash silver. As for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they can be shipped slowly and sold at one time, so that they can earn more money."

Zhu Zaiji is really not good at doing business. Just kidding, he is the emperor and learns how to do business.

He said a little embarrassedly: "Mr., this land, house, shop, etc. is worth more than 20 million taels. Who can afford it? There are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, why should we ship it slowly?"

Yang Cong said confidently: "Don't worry about land. Those officials, landlords and gentry favorites are land. They can buy as much as you have. The houses are included, because when you buy land, you have to arrange people to farm. Most of the houses under Yan Mansion are near the land, which is cheaper and sold to others. As for the shops, if the emperor feels troublesome, the Wei minister can buy them all."

Zhu Zai Di said in surprise: "That's more than one million acres. Can anyone afford it?"

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This emperor can be completely relieved. The so-called family of officials is not a blow. If there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, I feel embarrassed to say that I am a family of officials. However, the family of officials of the Ming Dynasty is calculated based on the several families in each county, and that is also thousands or tens of thousands of families. This amount of land can be eaten by them alone. For landlords and gentry, it would be good to drink some soup."

Well, Zhu Zaiji really didn't expect that these so-called families of officials were so rich. You know, even an emperor had no money. His father Jiajing was almost old. He had not much taxes collected every year, and he didn't have much left in the salary of officials and the food and salary of the border troops. In addition, his father's cultivation was at all costs. When he took over, the national treasury and the internal treasury were basically empty. If he hadn't copied Yan Song's millions of taels of silver and tens of thousands of taels of gold, he wouldn't even be able to get ten thousand taels of silver!

Since these officials and families can eat, let them eat hard. You know, just sell the land, he can earn more than 20 million taels. He never dared to think about such a lot of money before.

As for shops, forget it. Thousands of shops are worth more than one million taels of silver at most, which is nothing compared to land.

He said generously: "Mr., if you want those shops to be given directly to you, it will not be worth much anyway. I have made so many merits and have not given me any rewards. Just so I will give you all these shops."

Yang Cong quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not allowed. Public is public and private is private. This must be clearly distinguished. If you reward all the shops to the Wei ministers, I am afraid that those straight and advisers should gossip again. Wei ministers should pay for it, as much as they are."

Well, Zhu Zaiji also knows that the master's family is rich, and he is quite rich, about one million taels, which is really nothing to the master.

He was not pretentious and nodded directly and said, "Then I would like to thank my teacher. By the way, my teacher, why should those antiques, calligraphy and paintings be shipped slowly? Can't I sell them in one hand?"

Yang Cong shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, business is not done like this. It is said that things are expensive because they are rare. If you put a few or dozens of pieces at a time, they can still be sold at a time. If you put a few thousand pieces out at a time, then these things are not worth much. There is also a saying that the gold in the prosperous era, which means that antique calligraphy and painting are only valuable in the prosperous era. But now the Ming Dynasty has not yet entered the prosperous era and sold them all, and then it will be a huge loss."

Zhu Zai-die really doesn't understand this business story. No matter how Yang Cong explains, he still doesn't understand it.

He simply waved his hand and said generously: "Otherwise, my teacher, you can just estimate the price. I will sell all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings to you. Then you can ship them slowly. I am really worried about putting these things in the inner warehouse. If you don't keep them well and destroy those calligraphy and paintings, it would be a pity."

Yang Cong thought about it, then nodded very simply and said, "The emperor has said all his words and words. How dare I disobey? If these antique calligraphy and paintings are calculated at the time, they should go up to 10 million taels. If you want to get a bargain, you will pay 10 million taels. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

This relationship is good. The land deed and antiques are more than 30 million taels, and the national treasury is filled with all the time. OK!
