Chapter 64 The Huo Family's Property

As soon as Huo Shan arrived in front of the mansion, Huo An rushed to Huo Shan with his son Huo Ping and knelt on the ground:

"Servant Huo An, welcome the lord back home."

"Servant Huo Ping, welcome the lord back home."

Huo Shan hurriedly got off his horse, helped Huo An up, and took his hand:
"My family doesn't have to be like this."

Huo An can be said to be loyal to Huo Qubing and Huo Shan, he is an old man who followed Huo Qubing from Pingyang Houfu.

It was the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, not the Changping Marquis Mansion, who was considered to have watched Huo Qubing and Huo Shan grow up.

After Lao Huo moved out from the meritorious service, Pingyang sent him here because he was afraid that no one would take care of the Huo family. Lao Huo gave him a name, and now he is the Huo family.

For 30 or [-] years, the house has been run like a day without any complaints, and I have to go to the government treasury to check it every day.

If something goes wrong, he can’t sleep. He can’t sleep when he finds a mouse in the grain depot. In the middle of the night, a group of people catch the mouse with lamps.

The only time he crossed the border in more than ten years was two years ago, when his grandson fell ill, instead of looking for Huo Shan, he invited a doctor to go home for treatment.

Because of the lack of a medicinal material, there happened to be one in the treasury, so he took it and used it. After the little grandson was cured, he felt sorry for Huo Shan and was about to commit suicide, but his son found out and stopped him.

A very staunch and tough person, he couldn't be stopped, so Huo Ping had no choice but to tie him up and ran to find Huo Shan, so he knew about it.

Huo Shan comforted and relieved him for a while, and finally he got out of this hurdle!
It was the first time for Huo Shan to see this kind of person in two lifetimes, and there was no one who was so loyal to him, so Huo Shan respected him very much.

But this old man can't be free, he likes to find something to do when he is free, and his favorite thing to do is to watch the people in the house and work.

If you don't do a good job, he doesn't know how to scold, but just chatters with you, so the people in the house love, respect and feel helpless towards him.

There is a good housekeeper, but this housekeeper has a lot of things...

But being a good person doesn't mean he doesn't kill people. If his bottom line is touched, he will kill people. His bottom line is loyalty.

Huo Shan finds something for him to do, it is when he is the happiest, a very good little old man.

.........

Huo Shan brought Huo An and Huo Ping to the carriage and began to arrange things for Huo An.

"Mr. Huo, these things are all rewards from His Majesty, and some good things I purchased and obtained through my relationship with the trustees. Look at them and store them in the treasury. If you can't store them, put them in the freezer. Eat them quickly." , or it will be broken!"

"Here, this is the name of these things. How to store new things is also written in it."

Huo An laughed heartily, his gray beard trembled, and Huo Ping, who had just turned 35, was also very energetic.

"My lord, don't worry, this old man will definitely protect you."

Huo Shan smiled and nodded.

"Ah That's good."

The two of them greeted Huo Shan and entered the mansion through the main gate. After entering the mansion, Huo Shan thought about it, and said:

"Mr. Huo, take me to the treasury first."

"promise!"

As for Huo Shan returning to the mansion and doing nothing, why did he need to look at the treasury? This was because Huo Shan wanted to take a look at his own family property and see how much money he had.

The Shaofu's food delivery task has been completed, and some of the money has been recovered, and the hoho who passed by Old Zhao in the Western Regions has also calmed down a bit, which is a good time.

The matter discussed by Huo Shan and Gongsun He can be put on the agenda.

After this year is over and spring begins in another three or four months, the caravan can start, and preparations can start now.

So Huo Shan was going to take a look at his family fortune to see how much money he could spare to invest in it.

Although Huo Shan is not short of money, he still loves gold very much. All the way to the Western Regions, there is plenty of gold.

It's no use leaving them alone, it's better to bring them back to benefit yourself.

Under the leadership of Huo An, Huo Shan walked all the way to the depths of the mansion. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, he finally arrived at the location of the treasury.

Huo Shan looked at the rows of warehouses and found that they were no smaller than Shaofu's warehouses.

It's just that Shaofu's warehouses are scattered one after another, and there are many, and there are also large Shaofu warehouses in Ganquan Palace and Shanglin Garden.

As for the warehouse in Huo's mansion, only the mansion has it.

"My lord, the five warehouses here are grain depots, with a total of about [-] shi of grain, most of which have been replaced with wheat and rice."

There is not much food in the mansion, it used to be around 40 shi and [-] shi, but this time Huo Shan left [-] shi and sold the rest.

It is right for the country to store food. There is no need to store so much food in the government, as long as there is enough food for the family, if there is a disaster year, the 300 people will have enough food.

Moreover, the grain in the mansion is all good grain brought in from the feudal state, which is changed every five years, and once five years pass, it will become old grain and will be sold to the Shaofu or the big farmers.

The price is quite high, because it is mainly rice.

Huo An was explaining to Huo Shan, and other places were not idle, directing the people in Qimen and the mansion to move the flour and husked rice brought back by Huo Shan into the treasury.

After entering the warehouse and writing down the list, Huo An pointed to the opposite side of the grain warehouse.

"My lord, this is the icehouse, where meat and vegetables are stored."

Huo Shan walked over to look at these large ice storages that had sunk into the ground, revealing a door, nodded, and then walked forward.

Then the porcelain storehouse, jade storehouse, cloth storehouse, etc. in the back store some things that are relatively common compared to the Huo Mansion.

The rest of the more high-end ones, such as Liu Che's rewards, and the precious prices collected by the people, are all stored in the treasure house.

The next few are the highlights, the treasury, the silver treasury, and the money treasury.

"My lord, the gold inventory is Linzhi gold 710 seven, horseshoe gold five thousand two hundred and seventy-three, gold half twenty-seven boxes, ten thousand pieces per box, gold five baht thirty boxes, half money per box, ordinary gold cake 210 four pieces."

Huo Shan calculated very quickly in his mind, according to the official pricing, Linzhi gold is one gold and hardware, horseshoe gold is one gold and two point hardware, gold half tael is one thousand yuan, and gold five baht is one hundred yuan.

The golden half car and the golden five baht are just called this, and their weight is not half two and five baht, so it basically conforms to the proportion.

Adding these together, according to the official pricing, it is basically around 37 gold.

According to the black market or private exchange ratio, it can basically exceed one million gold. Among them, the official pricing of Linzhi gold, horseshoe gold, gold half tael, and gold five baht cannot reflect the value.

Especially the gold half-liang and gold five baht, the official casting was stopped, and the stock was very small. These were specially cast by Huo Shan, who took the gold cakes to Shaofu, found the templates that had been left in the corner to eat ashes.

The work of minting money was in Shaofu before, so it is not unusual to keep a few templates.

And the small amount of stock means his preciousness, so there is no problem with a million gold.

Huo An went on to talk about the bank and the money bank.

Gold was popular in the Western Han Dynasty, gold was popular, and China has been short of silver since ancient times, so the silver in the silver treasury is not much, basically around [-] gold.

As for the money in the treasury, three baht coins, five baht coins, and half taels are added together, and the value is more than 300 million five baht coins, more than 300 gold!
Counting the precious things in the treasury, the property of the entire Huo Mansion is basically around 160 million to 170 million gold.

Those that can be exchanged for money immediately are basically around 120 million gold.

These are not official pricing. If it is an official pricing, the property of the Huo Mansion is around 70 million gold.

The difference is that big, not to mention other things, just a Linzhi gold, there is basically a difference of four or five times between the official price and the private transaction.

As for the huge difference in price, why don't private individuals make it and make a fortune for him.

Of course they made it, but they found that what they made was only worth about three golds, and the craftsmanship was too complicated to be worth it.

Because this thing has a record in the Shaofu, and a knowledgeable person can know where your thing came from at a glance. It's really not true at a glance.

These kinds of gold are proper luxury items for a big man.

Anyway, just keep in mind that what is bestowed by the emperor and what is made by the people are not the same thing, they look exactly the same, and they are not the same thing, they have a symbolic meaning.

Enough, enough, enough money for dozens of caravans.

After Huo Shan checked carefully, he couldn't help clicking his tongue, and three thoughts came to his mind.

The first thought was that the Huo Mansion has so much money? !
The second thought, Liu Che is really too generous!

The third thought, Lao Huo is really good at making money!
It can be seen from this that no matter how generous Liu Che is, it is impossible to reward so much money, 160 million gold, that is more than 160 billion five baht.

And little Huo is different from old Huo. Little Huo is much more favored than old Huo, and the rewards are much bigger.

But that's it, Xiao Huo's rewards in the past ten years are almost one-fifth of the rewards here, where did the others come from?Lao Huo earned it.

Both father and son don't spend money, they eat, live in, and spend money in the palace, so they save it naturally.

As for the taxes in the feudal kingdom, this is a matter of careful calculation.

The champion Hou country has [-] households, with a population of around [-], of which about one-tenth are elderly and children.

It is indeed one tenth, and it is estimated that there is not so much. According to the law of the big man, a child is under 56, and an old man is over [-].

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the taxes of the big man.

Not to mention forced service, shift service, and military service, there are basically several types of money and taxes on the part of the people, such as agricultural tax, oral tax, and calculated tax.

The agricultural tax is [-]% of the [-]th tax, and sometimes it is tax-free. This basically has no money, and the focus is on the head tax, that is, the oral tax, the calculation tax, and the household tax.

The mouth tax is collected from children aged seven to 13, 23 qian per year, originally [-] qian, and [-] qian is the carriage and horse tax for the country to fight.

Suanfu is for people from 56 to 120. This is called Suanfu, and each person is [-] yuan per year.

The household tax is a household tax that a family needs to give the head of the country [-] yuan a year.

In addition to these, there are some miscellaneous taxes. For example, if a woman is 15 years old and not married, she will be charged five calculations, which is 30 yuan, and she will be charged at [-] years old.

Another example is when women give birth to children, they are divided according to age, and the age is stipulated. If you do not have enough children, you have to be fined.

Having a sufficient number of children has to pay a poll tax. The bigger the children, the more difficult it is to support them. Anyway, it is very hard.

The people of the feudal state are more miserable than the people of the Han Dynasty.
