Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 54
After a moment of silence, Zhao Kuangyin finally opened his mouth slowly: "These are all my orders, the king of Tianshui County is only following orders, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhao Guangyi raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly in his heart: "My son is my own son. The elder brother is protecting the calf. He wants to block the knife for my son!"

Tang Jixian deserved to be the censor Zhongcheng, and immediately grasped the key point: "Is the decree issued by the sage only to allow the king of Tianshui County to accompany his servants to deal with Chi Jianxin, or does it also include the permission of the prince of Tianshui County to plunder his family property and keep it for himself? "

If the content of the Holy Majesty's decree is only the former, and the King of Tianshui only plays the role of supervising the implementation, then it is barely justified;
But if the latter is included, it means that the emperor took the lead in destroying the court system and system, which is not a trivial matter.

"It's all!" Zhao Kuangyin replied slowly with a livid face, "It's because I thought that Wang Zhongqin of Tianshui County was serving the country, so I authorized him to search for property at will in the late-built new house as a comfort. This move is indeed against the imperial court. The system and system, all of this is due to my whim, so that I didn't think carefully."

All the ministers were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this the sun coming out from the west?With His Majesty's usual strong and vigorous style, he publicly admitted his mistake today!
After a moment of silence in the hall, an even louder sound came.

Since the Holy Majesty has admitted his mistakes, no matter how much he spouts, it is safe and harmless, and he can flaunt his upright style, so why be polite?
Therefore, the censor officials and the Qingliu civil servants stepped forward one after another to give loyal advice to the Holy One. Since it is a loyal advice, it is naturally not pleasant to the ear. Can it be called loyal advice if it is not offensive?
Zhao Kuangyin suffered a blast and couldn't get angry. After retreating from the court, he went back to the bedroom full of anger, picked up a jade ax and smashed the things on the imperial case. He used to have a violent temper. On the contrary, the Empress Dowager restrained herself a lot, but occasionally she couldn't help but burst out.

After venting his anger a bit, Zhao Kuangyin ordered his servants to call his son into the palace immediately, intending to scold this lawless boy face to face, and then kick him a few times, so that he will know that this is the descendant of our old Zhao family. rule!
But after thinking about it, if this kid is summoned right away to give him a serious lesson, then everyone will guess the truth of the matter, and the censors will still have to point their finger at their own son. Isn't it just for nothing to save face in court to protect this kid?
Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to give up for the time being, and he decided to endure it and see what happens later - if his son can handle the deed tax well to make up for his mistakes, then he will be punished with small punishments and big punishments; Public and private accounts are settled together, and his title of county king must be taken away!

……

While Zhao Kuangyin lost his temper in the Funing Palace bedroom, Wang Xiuzhi walked into the bedroom in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in Tianshui County, which was far away from the imperial city, and shook Zhao Dezhao out of his sleep, and handed him a thin booklet.

"Sir, the inventory is over. There are a total of 53 land deeds, house deeds, and store deeds. There are 160 antiques, 32 calligraphy and paintings, 48 ​​boxes of gold beads and jewelry, more than 1000 pieces, and other miscellaneous gold and silver pieces totaling more than 60 catties. It's all in this booklet."

Wang Xiuzhi is very capable of housekeeping and has a good memory. He only reads it once and remembers everything clearly.

"What's the total price?" Zhao Dezhao took the brochure and didn't bother to look through it. He only cared about the total price.

"According to your instructions, let the old accountant who worked in Dianpu estimate the price of each piece according to the lowest market price. The sum of all items is 280 million yuan. If you really want to sell, you will only get a lot more money! "

"280 guan?! Fuck me!"

Even though Zhao Dezhao was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by this number, and couldn't help swearing a curse word from his previous life.

Although Zhao Dezhao in his previous life had a rough knowledge of the history of the Song Dynasty, he had not studied the economic history of the Song Dynasty in depth, and he had not been in this world for a long time, and he had never had the opportunity to go to the market to buy in person, so he had no idea about the price level of the Song Dynasty.

But he is very familiar with "Water Margin", and he clearly remembers the birthday gift "Birthday Outline" that Liang Zhongshu gave to his father-in-law Cai Jing in "Outwit the Birthday Outline". Yang Zhi was sent as a guard to escort it, but its total value was only one hundred thousand guan of gold and pearls, less than one-twentieth of the figure reported by Wang Xiuzhi!

Besides, at the court meeting a few days ago, because of the question of whether to levy a summer tax of half a bucket per mu in Henan Province and Xijing Prefecture, the Household Department and Yushitai were tearing up at each other, wishing to dig each other's ancestral graves , In fact, it's just because of how much money they made to make a fuss like this?

But it's only 100 million guan, which is almost a third of the money!

With these basic understandings, the shock of the number "280 million" to Zhao Dezhao was greater than the shock of knowing the presidential suite of 5 yuan a night for the first time in his previous life.

Wang Xiuzhi is indeed a well-informed noblewoman from a well-known family. She is well aware of the dark background of the powerful and powerful people in the Song Dynasty, but she doesn't seem surprised.

"It's not surprising, is it? The surname Chi has been in charge of the Internal Treasury Supervisor for many years. In what year did the Internal Treasury Supervisor not have nearly ten million yuan of money? His level of profiteering can only be regarded as mediocre."

She curled her mouth and snorted with some disdain: "Master, you have never seen a really powerful one!"

The meaning is obviously to say that our Song Dynasty will make a lot of money if he is really rich. He Chi Jianxin is just a small fish, what is it?
Zhao Dezhao jumped up from the bed, pushed Wang Xiuzhi down on the edge of the bed, scolded with a straight face:
"What's your attitude? Are you still Zhao's daughter-in-law?"

"This Chi is poaching the corner of our Zhao family!"

"The higher the level of those who are corrupt and pervert the law to make money, the more powerful they are at poaching the corners of our Zhao family!"

"No! I am heartbroken for my husband, and I am very angry. I have decided to punish you!"

……

After the "punishment" was over, the anger rising in Zhao Dezhao's body was finally eliminated, so he took advantage of the time when Wang Xiuzhi was dressing himself, picked up the register book and glanced at it, and was about to put it in his arms Suddenly, he remembered something.

So, Zhao Dezhao took out the thin registration book from his arms, estimated the thickness, tore off about half of the book and threw it back to Wang Xiuzhi: "The items on it are put into storage, and the rest should not be moved for now."

Wang Xiuzhi was dumbfounded when he heard that, he had finally made a huge fortune, how could half of it be lost out of thin air in the blink of an eye?
