Chapter 882 885. Headache
Huazhang sat in the imperial study with a dazed expression, not even aware that the ink on the pen tip stained the rice paper.

The court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting by the side did not dare to remind them, and lowered their heads, trying to minimize their sense of existence.

Huazhang came back to his senses again, lost the pen in his hand, and led people directly to the harem to find the Queen Mother Zhou.

"Why is the emperor free to come here today?" The Empress Dowager Zhou fiddled with the bonsai on the table, pruning away the excess branches and buds.

"Mother..."

"This is another thing that I can't figure out." Zhizi Mo Ruomu, upon hearing the emperor's hesitation, Queen Zhou pointedly asked, "But there are ministers looking for trouble?"

Huazhang, "Queen, must the Hua family's private treasury be separated from the national treasury?"

In his opinion, this is all the world of their Hua family. The Supreme Emperor used to guard the private treasury tightly, but now he still doesn't want to use it for the people.

The Empress Dowager Zhou put down the scissors in her hand, and a court lady came to wash her hands with water, and after she wiped her hands dry, she said slowly, "Your father did a good job in this, no matter what you do, you have to hold the trump card in your hand.

When the late emperor passed away suddenly, what was left to your father was a big mess.

Your father wanted to deal with the ministers, while slowly gathering military power, but it happened that natural disasters continued. At that time, your father dared not sleep at night, fearing that the mob would riot, and the people would live in distress.

Fortunately, with God's blessing, these difficulties gradually subsided.

But what was left behind was also a court full of holes.

Being an emperor is not as simple as everyone thinks, I believe the emperor has a deep understanding these days. "

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the silent emperor, and then went on to say, "The first emperor conquered the country, but all the treasures he got were put into the state treasury, and there was no private treasury. All the expenses in the palace had to be appropriated from the state treasury. In the face of national crisis, can you imagine how difficult it was in the harem?
But Huang'er, you have never suffered since you were a child, and it's all because your father set up this private treasury, and there were courtiers participating in the performance back then, so that your father would not compete with the people for fame and fortune.

What this group of courtiers said is nice, but which one of them has business outside?

Speaking of this, your father is better than you in one thing. When you are an emperor, don't take your face too seriously. Sometimes, like him, sometimes..., the courtiers will take him for granted.

In this way, your father's private treasury has been enriched bit by bit, these people have something to say, they always want to merge the private treasury into the national treasury for various reasons, your father persisted. "

Huazhang, "Then why did Emperor Father...?"

"Why didn't you hand over the private treasury directly to you?" Seeing Huazhang's expression, the Queen Mother Zhou guessed right again, "Your father is also doing this for your own good.

Private treasury, to put it bluntly, is your father's private possession. If that day really comes, do you think you can take over it?
Not to mention the courtiers, just those brothers under you, don't you want to get a piece of the pie?

Even if it is an ordinary family, there is a certain proportion of distribution, let alone a prince. "

Huazhang was ashamed, because he was greedy.

"You have to remember your father's love, he has arranged all these things now, and you will have fewer disputes in the future.

Besides, his use of the private treasury for the people is also helping the royal family to establish a good reputation, and your throne will be more stable. "

Huazhang was ashamed but also a little curious, "...my son is taught, mother, have you ever entered the private treasury of the emperor?"

Empress Dowager Zhou, "...my mother does not have such a blessing..."

Huazhang, "..."

Blessed Gu Wenheng didn't want to be treated like this. Looking at the overcrowded warehouse, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.

The Supreme Emperor doesn't have the ability to keep accounts, and he likes to do it himself, to see what is messed up and things are not straightened out.

Besides, even if you are busy with government affairs, the eunuchs below can order you around, right?

With such a random pile of things and locking the door, is it considered over?
Among the piles of lists, that box of gold and silver is the easiest to liquidate.

I don't know what the Supreme Emperor thinks?The whole world belongs to him, and he still doesn't believe the banknote number at the bottom, so he gets all the banknotes and converts them into gold and silver and piles them in the treasury.

Gu Wenheng rubbed his nose. This is a bit similar to the couple. They kept banknotes in their hands to make emergency transactions, and everything else was exchanged for cash.

"Eunuch Le, how many warehouses like this are there?" Gu Wenheng turned his head and asked Le San who accompanied him.

Le San has long been used to the mess in front of him, it's really not that they are slaves wanting to be lazy, but that the emperor forbids them to get involved.

Every time the Emperor Taishang was in a bad mood, he would come and have a look, and he would feel much happier.

"There are five more, big and small, and most of them are rare things that Haimao has collected over the years," Le San said. Constantly sending things into the palace.

Except for some rewards used by the Supreme Emperor, everything else is piled up here.

Although these are all imported products, they are very sought after by the nobles of the Rong Dynasty. What's more, these things sent to the Supreme Emperor are the most precious.

Gu Wenheng naturally knew the value of these things, "Isn't it a little too much to place them randomly like this?"

Le San pointed to the innermost corner and said, "For the batch that was sent into the palace at the beginning, the Supreme Emperor specially prepared the shelves to display them, but there are more and more things in the back, and the Supreme Emperor is busy with affairs, so I really can't take care of them. Arrange it at will first, and then you won’t be able to take care of it later.”

There are some words that Le San is not easy to choose Tai Ming, he has also said it before, but Tai Shang Huang is very persistent.

Gu Wenheng, "..."

"Master Gu, why don't I ask some little eunuchs to help you tidy things up?" Le San looked at the mess inside and felt a little headache, and felt a little sympathetic to Gu Wenheng.

Gu Wenheng, "That's it, please trouble Eunuch Le, after we put all these things together, we need to do some valuation."

The most troublesome thing for him is to realize these as soon as possible. It would be okay if it was just this warehouse, but just now Eunuch Le said that there are several others.

If such a large quantity is sold at the same time, it will seem a bit cheap.

Judging by the posture of the Supreme Emperor, he is planning to clean up all the private treasury in a short period of time. This is simply a big problem for him.

If it was placed a few months ago, he could persuade his wife to accept these first, and with the shops in various places, he could sell them out quickly.

But now, apart from restaurants and escort agencies, the industry has already been closed, and it really can't help.

"I would like to ask Mr. Le to find someone who is careful and patient." Gu Wenheng pointed to the dust on these objects, and said helplessly, "It needs to be cleaned up again, and it has to be arranged according to the category. They are all precious. Things, don't bump into them."

The more I thought about it, the more headache I got, Gu Wenheng summoned the household officials who followed behind, "Several of you are divided into groups, and every item must be registered in detail."
