Chapter 487

Not only Gao Feng, but all the people present were very curious about how much property could be recovered in this large-scale raid.

After all, it can be said that it is almost the first time since ancient times that the homes of hundreds of nobles, powerful, officials, and gentry have been raided like this. Almost [-]% to [-]% of these nobles and powerful are located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is known as prosperous and prosperous. land.

It can be imagined that in this raid of the house, an astonishing amount of property must have been confiscated.

If you really want to have a general impression of these confiscated properties, except for Li Huan, they don't know much about them.

After all, although they can be regarded as Li Huan's helpers, they don't control the overall situation like Li Huan, so at most they know the general situation of the things they are responsible for.

Even so, they were shocked by the numbers they knew, so seeing all the property statistics coming out soon, they were naturally extremely curious.

Li Huan saw the reactions of several people's expressions in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "If you want to know, you might as well wait here with Li, or the final number will be announced soon. If the statistics are calculated, then the big guys will know how much property was not found during the ransacking of the house."

Originally thought that a number could be known from Li Huan in advance, but Li Huan didn't tell them directly, but they were not too anxious.

I have been waiting for such a long time, and I am not in a hurry to wait for a while. Besides, Li Huan also said that the results will come out in a short time, so the few people sat there patiently and whispered. speak up.

Of course, what the few people said is naturally inseparable from the convicts whose property was confiscated and sent to prison.

Many of them were old friends and colleagues who had known each other in the past, but now they were involved in the big case of King Ning's treason because of a mistake, and ended up in the end of ransacking their family and exterminating their clan.

Talking about these old friends, several people couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, not to say that they sympathized with these people, but just felt that these people were too unlucky.

He obviously chose King Ning to place a bet, but the result was that he didn't know who he was. King Ning's performance was too disappointing. With so many troops, all of them were ruined in World War I, even himself was captured alive.

Xu Yu and the others could even imagine that the people who were raped and exterminated by King Ning were probably cursing King Ning in the prison at the moment.

As time passed, the officials in the several halls next door became more and more busy. Finally, when the sky was getting dark, a clerk hurried into the side hall with an account book in his hand.

When the clerk saw Li Huan and the others sitting there, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute them and said, "Your Excellency, I have seen some adults."

When the clerk entered the side hall, the eyes of several people naturally fell on the other party, to be precise, on the account book he was holding in his hand.

Li Huan put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at the clerk and said, "But there is already a result?"

The clerk took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, after more than a month of statistics, the confiscated property has finally been counted. Please take a look at it."

Speaking of which, the clerk handed the account book to Li Huan respectfully, Li Huan took the account book, opened it and slowly checked it, gradually a smile appeared on Li Huan's face.

Xu Wu, Feng Tai, and Gao Feng on the side stared at the account book in Li Huan's hand. If it wasn't for the account book in Li Huan's hand, they might have already stepped forward to snatch it into their hands. Watched.

Xu Wu waved his hand at the clerk, signaling the clerk to back down.

Here, Li Huan finished reading the account book, and raised his head just in time to notice the eyes of Xu Chu and the others.

Li Huan chuckled and handed the account book to Xu Chu and said, "Duke Wei might as well take a look."

Xu Yu reached out to take it, his eyes fell on the account book, and he subconsciously said softly: "There are 300 million taels of silver, 850 million taels of gold, and more than 780 pieces of jewelry and jade. There are more than 3000 seats, 840 million mu of fertile land, more than [-] shops, and about [-] million shi of grain..."

Gao Feng and Feng Tai on the side are definitely well-informed, they have seen all kinds of big scenes, but now listening to the data that popped out of Xu Yu's mouth, they still couldn't help it. His eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Hey, can't this be true, how come there are so many!"

Even if the taxes collected by the Ming court every year include food, silk and other objects, as well as gold and silver, the value is only about 3000 to [-] million taels per year.

But if you count all the properties confiscated this time, if you really want to make a rough valuation of these properties, it would be a bit scary, at least it can be worth more than ten or twenty years of Daming taxes.

It is said that the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and extremely rich. In the past, there was no clear concept. However, this time the house ransacked and confiscated so much property at once, which really amazed the few people present.

However, Li Huan was not surprised at all. This number is indeed amazing, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable to be able to confiscate so much property.

You must know that it has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, especially the land in the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and it is already prosperous and rich. I don't know how much wealth I have accumulated and absorbed.

In this era, it can be said that almost [-]% of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of nobles, clans, tyrants, gentry, and officials.

According to the statistics of later generations, in this era, even if the overseas silver has not flowed into Daming in large quantities, the silver accumulated by China for thousands of years is at least five or six billion taels, plus the gold accumulated for thousands of years, In fact, the gold and silver stocks in the entire Ming Dynasty are quite astonishing figures.

It's just that most of these gold and silver properties are concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people. Here, Li Huan's family raids are precisely the people who have mastered these wealth.

Then it is normal to find so much property from these people.

It can even be said that if only tens of millions of taels of property were confiscated, Li Huan really wondered if the people below colluded to give the confiscated property to Tanmo.

With a grunt, Gao Feng couldn't help swallowing, turned his eyes to Li Huan, forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Champion, this... When are we going to transport so much gold and silver property to the capital for His Majesty's disposal? "

All eyes immediately fell on Li Huan, obviously they were also waiting for Li Huan's handling of these belongings.

Although it is just a simple calculation of a rough figure now, once this account book is submitted to the court and the emperor, then they must ensure that there is no error in the account book, otherwise, then It is the crime of deceiving the king.

Of course, before that, if they had any thoughts about these properties, there was nothing to worry about.

Li Huan coughed lightly, took a look at the few people and said slowly: "You guys have worked hard these days, today I will let Mr. Li make the decision, each of you pick a box to take away, I don't know what you think? "

Xu Wu, Gao Feng, and Feng Tai couldn't help squinting their eyes, and naturally there was a flash of emotion in their eyes.

Li Huan asked them to choose a box of things instead of any specific objects, obviously leaving the decision to them.

After all, that box of things can be priceless gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, or it can be said to be a box of grain. Compared with the two, the value is tens of thousands of times different.

This is quite a test of the character of Xu Chu, Gao Feng, and Feng Tai.

So after hearing Li Huan's words, several people couldn't help but froze there, with struggling and hesitant expressions on their faces.

No one is a fool, Li Huan said so in front of them, leaving the choice to them, the few people present can almost guarantee that today's matter will definitely appear on the emperor's desk.

If they really picked a box of gold and silver belongings one by one, maybe the emperor will not do anything to them for the credit they have made this time, but they will definitely stay in the heart of the emperor. The next extremely bad impression.

Xu Wu took a deep breath and glanced at Li Huan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "My Xu family has been favored by the royal family for generations, but I don't lack any property. Since the champion said so, I will take a box of food. That's fine."

After Xu Wu's words fell, Feng Tai couldn't help but look at Xu Wu with a complicated look, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's choose a box of silk."

Xu Wu chose grain, Feng Tai chose silk, and Li Huan's eyes fell on Gao Feng.

Gao Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Our family has been with His Majesty all year round, money is just something outside of us, and our family doesn't need it, so let's choose a box of refined salt!"

After several people made their choices, their gazes fell on Li Huan, and Xu Chu laughed and said: "The champion has worked hard, since we all made the choice, then the champion is no exception."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said: "That's natural, Li has already thought about it."

As he said that, Li Huan looked at several people and said, "Are you sure to choose these few things?"

The three nodded and looked at Li Huan, as if they wanted to see what choice Li Huan would make.

From Xu Wu and Feng Tai's point of view, Li Huan is loyal to the emperor, and he will definitely not pick any rare treasures. He is expected to randomly pick some less precious things like them, and pass them on to the emperor's ears in the future. It can also win the favor of the emperor.

However, Li Huan said with a smile: "Li is really too poor, there are so many people in the family to support, it is not easy to miss such a good opportunity."

Hearing what Li Huan said, Xu Wu and Feng Tai couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Li Huan with a bit of astonishment, obviously they didn't expect Li Huan to say that.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Li Huan say: "Ms. Li can choose gold, jewellery, jade calligraphy and painting, etc. to fill a box!"

Fortunately, Xu Chu just drank a sip of tea at this moment, otherwise, he might spit out the tea in one gulp.

Both Xu Wu and Feng Tai looked at Li Huan with unbelievable eyes.

You must know that the gold, jewelry, jade calligraphy and paintings chosen by Li Huan are all priceless items. If it is really piled up in a box, the value may not be easy to estimate. Anyway, it must be worth at least a hundred. Thousands of giants.

As he spoke, Li Huan glanced at several people and said: "If you have no comments, I will revise and copy this account book later, and you and I will sign and seal it and send it to the capital for presentation to His Majesty."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wu stroked his beard and looked at Li Huan with a smile, saying, "Of course the old man has no objection."

Feng Tai and Gao Feng on the side also nodded slightly.

Li Huan got up suddenly and said: "It's so good. Tomorrow, we will start to count all the belongings and ship them to the capital."

While speaking, I saw Li Huan's expression turned solemn, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and an awe-inspiring murderous intent pervaded, which only made Xu Yu and Feng Tai feel cold all over.

Immediately afterwards, Li Huan said coldly: "As for those officials who committed the crime of treason, in Li's opinion, except for dozens of chief criminals who were taken to the capital, the rest were all beheaded." Killing, using the canonical punishment, what do you guys think?"

Feng Tai's complexion changed. Li Huan's words were light and light, but there were tens of thousands of people involved. According to what Li Huan said, only dozens of people with unusual identities needed to be escorted to the capital. , the remaining tens of thousands of people will be killed, which means that at least tens of thousands of people will lose their lives.

Thinking of this, even Feng Tai, Xu Wu and the others, who are so lofty and who can be said to be indifferent to life, can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

I heard Feng Tai subconsciously say: "It involves the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. If you don't ask Your Majesty for such an important matter, I will make decisions on my own. I only arrange that the court will be full of excitement..."

Li Huan said with a bit of disdain: "Your Majesty gave me the right to kill first and report later, and to supervise the case of King Ning's treason with full authority. Then I will kill all the people involved in the case first, and no one will be able to comment."

Xu Wu and Feng Tai looked at each other, they were really frightened by Li Huan's murderous nature, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Huan waved his long sleeves and glanced at the two of them and said: "This matter is settled like this. If there is any accident, the consequences will be borne by Li!"

Watching Li Huan leave, Xu Yu and Feng Tai slowly left the yamen of Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, and they got into a carriage together.

In the carriage, Xu Yu and Feng Tai sat facing each other. With the creaking sound of the carriage slowly driving, Feng Tai looked at Wei Guogong and couldn't help but confront each other: "Old Duke, Li Huan actually slapped ink in front of us." At least a million taels worth of property, this Li Huan's food is too ugly!"
