"Milord, after the calculations, there are a total of 1,600 silver notes and 830,000 taels of silver. There are a total of 120 large wooden chests, all of which are filled with gold, totaling 630,000 taels.
There were twenty-eight luminous pearls, countless pearls, agate, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.”
"Sir, these have already been registered.”
"Milord, this is a golden soft armor.”
The sky was getting dark. The general brought the book to Yuan Ye and reported to him.
After saying that, he moved closer to Yuan Ye and quietly took out a golden soft armor.
Borrow flowers and offer Buddha to show filial piety to Yuan Ye.
"The six kings are the richest in the world. How can they have sixteen million taels of silver?
That was 8,830,000 taels.”
Yuan Ye took the book and said to the general.
"This…"
After the general heard this, he was shocked.
He thought to himself, Good heavens, this Yuan Ye is too greedy.
He could directly eat half of it.
"Huh?"
Yuan Ye glared at the general.
"Yes, yes. Look at this general. His calculations are not even correct.
This was clearly eight million taels, how could it be sixteen million taels!”
The general immediately reacted to Yuan Ye's glare and slapped his forehead with a smile.
"Mm, that's right. When the time comes, take out five hundred thousand taels and keep the rest for yourself.
And the person in charge of the inventory this time…"
Yuan Ye nodded in satisfaction and promised to give this general 500,000 taels as hush money.
As for the person in charge of the inventory, Yuan Ye made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Yes, sir!"
"Milord, please rest assured. This time, this general will definitely be decisive.”
Hearing Yuan Ye's words, the general was instantly pleasantly surprised.
This guy was originally scolded for his lack of ability and carelessness.
However, who knew that he would get 500,000 taels of silver for free?
He naturally knew what the 500,000 taels of silver were for.
This was hush money.
Although Yuan Ye had the most money, he was content with 500,000 taels of silver.
This 500,000 taels of silver was not enough even if all of their family's assets were added up.
This trip was not in vain.
………
"800 taels of silver, 600,000 taels of gold, and countless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, gold, silver, and jewelry.
There were all kinds of precious medicinal herbs and treasures.
Very good.
He is really my good brother. The wealth in his residence is even richer than the annual tax revenue of our Dayu Dynasty.”
Beijing…
In the palace, Emperor Taikang looked at the form that Yuan Ye had sent over.
He could not help but fly into a rage.
"Your Majesty, it's better to convert the eight million silver notes into silver to fill the treasury.
The national treasury is almost empty."
Yuan Ye said.
"That's right. Eight million taels is enough to fill up the deficit of the Imperial Court.”
Emperor Taikang nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that the silver should be added to the national treasury, while the gold, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, rare treasures, and precious medicinal herbs should be added to the Internal Affairs Office.
According to my observations, many places in the Imperial Palace need to be repaired.
Many of the officials 'homes were more luxurious than the Imperial Palace, and the rules of eating and drinking were not inferior to the royal family.
His Majesty has worked hard for the country, so he should treat himself better.”
Yuan Ye cupped his hands towards Emperor Taikang and said with a face full of heartache.
"It's still my beloved minister who knows how to feel sorry for me!”
Hearing Yuan Ye's words, Emperor Taikang was touched.
How many officials could think of him like this?
Every time the officials went to court, they would say that they were too fond of Yuan Ye, but they did not think about why they were so fond of Yuan Ye.
He was efficient and satisfied with his work. He was always thinking for the court and himself, and he did not form cliques for personal gain.
He felt at ease and comfortable using it.
Most importantly, this person was especially capable and talented.
"How about this, dear minister, you're tired from the journey.
I ordered people to copy all the copies and send them to the beloved minister's residence.
As for the rest of the beloved ministers, they could choose ten antique calligraphy and paintings at will and bring them back to play.”
Emperor Taikang waved his hand and rewarded Yuan Ye.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yuan Ye showed a happy expression as he thanked Emperor Taikang.
Although Yuan Ye didn't like it now, he still had to show his surprise and gratitude even if he didn't like the Emperor's gift.
After all, he was richer than the emperor now.
He should give the emperor some face.
One couldn't be too arrogant.
"En, this time when your father-in-law returns, zhen will let him recuperate first and confer him the title of Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor.
I'll let you get married as soon as possible."
After thanking him, Emperor Taikang spoke again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yuan Ye was pleasantly surprised.
He thanked Emperor Taikang again.
The Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor was one of the three teachers who taught the Crown Prince. He was in charge of teaching the Crown Prince's literature, but he had no title. However, he was an honorary official of the first rank.
The rest of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor was responsible for teaching the Crown Prince martial arts, and the Crown Prince's Grand Protector was responsible for the Crown Prince's safety.
However, Emperor Taikang had been on the throne for three years now, and his children weren't very old, so he didn't have a crown prince.
However, it could not stop the honor of being conferred the title of a trusted minister.
In fact, many officials held multiple positions, so the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor was an honorary official.
…
After reporting everything, Yuan Ye was brought to choose about ten pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings to decorate his study.
As for his father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, Emperor Taikang was worried about his health after Yuan Ye returned from Yangzhou, so he sent someone to summon Lin Ruhai back to the capital to report on his work.
However, he didn't mention his official position.
This time, Taikang Emperor told Yuan Ye alone, which showed his trust in Yuan Ye.
"Mm, not bad, not bad!"
"Yuan Yi! Bring a few people to buy the four books, The Analects of Confucius, The Doctrine of the Meanings, The Great Learning, and Mencius, as well as The Book of Songs, Records of the Historian, Zuo Zhuan, Zi Tong, and Fang Yan.
Master, I'm playing decorating the study."
"Oh right, buy more of the Four Treasures of the Study.”
When he got home, Yuan Ye brought the antiques and calligraphy to his empty study.
After placing them one by one, he felt extremely satisfied.
However, it still seemed empty.
Hence, he instructed Yuan Yi to buy some books for him.
"Yes, Master."
When Ape One heard the order, he immediately went out.
"Yuan Er, bring some people out to buy some potted plants and all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs. Let Shaoyao be in charge of decorating the mansion.”
Then, Yuan Ye instructed Yuan Er.
"Yes, Master."
Yuan Ye replied and left.
"Yuan San, bring 50,000 taels and secretly make a trip to the Minister of Justice's house.
Tell him that Li Shuncai, the Yin of the Yingtian Prefecture of Bian Prefecture, is loyal to the court. Li Shuncai asked me to pass this to him.
Remember to tell him the names of Old Master and Li Shuncai.
When the time comes, if he has anything to say, bring it back to me word for word.”
Yuan Ye instructed Yuan San.
"Yes, Master."
Yuan San took the 50,000 silver notes from Yuan Ye and left.
"Yuan Si, you are the same as Yuan San. However, secretly go to the Supreme Court's Qing family.”
Yuan Ye said to Yuan Si.
