serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 295

In the distance, Zhao Zixun hurriedly walked towards Qianqing Palace.

Dai Quan followed out of breath.

As Zhao Zixun hurriedly walked, he asked, "What happened in Liaodong? Why didn't the Ministry of War receive any news?"

Dai Quan gasped: "It's the miscellaneous family who didn't make it clear. The major event that the miscellaneous family said was not the Liaodong war, but the imperial tombs of the Manchus."

Zhao Zixun's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he looked at Dai Quan angrily: "What happened to the imperial tomb of the Manchus?"

Dai Quan: "The Liaodong army dug up the tomb of Emperor Kangxi of the Tartars."

Zhao Zixun's eyes lit up: "How much property was dug up?"

Dai Quan: "A lot."

Zhao Zixun hurriedly stepped forward: "Let's go!" He strode towards Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Emperor Jianwu seemed extremely excited and agitated. On the imperial desk in front of him were two urgent deliveries from Li Chengyang placed side by side.

In his eyes, these two urgent deliveries are not ordinary official documents, but two golden mountains.

He never dreamed that Tartar would leave him such a great gift!
He looked at the two express deliveries carefully again, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he placed the two express deliveries in the palm of his hand and patted them twice, then stood up and walked back and forth quickly.

Get rich!
Zhao Zixun walked in quickly: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianwu smiled all over his face and said to Dai Quan, "Show Mr. Zhao Ge the urgent delivery from Marquis Ningyuan."

Dai Quan: "Yes." He walked to the imperial desk and handed the two urgent deliveries to Zhao Zixun.

Zhao Zixun took the package and looked at it. As he watched, his cheeks flushed and he looked extremely excited. While flipping through the pages quickly, he murmured to himself: "Get rich, get rich."

Emperor Jianwu and Dai Quan looked at each other and smiled.

After reading the last line, Zhao Zixun was even more delighted, and said loudly: "As long as we have this money, the imperial court will not have to worry about money for at least two years."

Emperor Jianwu smiled and nodded.

Zhao Zixun went on to say: "No wonder Duke Ning always said that war is the way to get rich! Only now have the tombs of Yongzheng, Kangxi, and Shunzhi grandchildren been excavated, and property worth 2000 million yuan has been confiscated. It shouldn’t be a problem to copy tens of millions of mausoleums.”

After a pause, "If you confiscate all the belongings of the Manchus, how can you get tens of millions! Deducting [-]% of the Liaodong Army and Jizhou Guards, and counting the belongings in the mausoleum for eight months, it is worth eight Monthly tax!!"

Emperor Jianwu smiled. What Zhao Zixun said was a bit exaggerated. The reason why so many belongings were copied from the three tombs was thanks to Kangxi. He contributed more than half of it by himself. Millions of copies can be made.

Just now, he had already figured out how to dispose of these belongings. The gold and silver were melted directly, and all the jewelry and jade articles buried with him were shipped to places other than Nanyang for disposal.

There are also those Manchus who confiscated all the property of the nobles, and then drove them all to North Korea, and handed over this hot potato to the Tartar emperor.

They are all big families that have been around for hundreds of years, no matter how poor they are, they must have a net worth of millions.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jianwu became even happier, and said to Zhao Zixun, "It's time for the household department to build a new warehouse."

Zhao Zixun nodded excitedly.

At this moment, the chief eunuch on duty at the Meridian Gate hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, he is from Shandong, and he is in a hurry for six hundred miles." Then he handed over a military report with three feathers attached to it.

Dai Quan took the military newspaper and forwarded it to Emperor Jianwu.

Emperor Jianwu tore open the cover to look at it, and then blushed with excitement: "We have won! We have won! Marquis Zhongjing pursued the rebels to Laizhou Prefecture, wiped out the last rebels near Gaomi, beheaded three More than ten thousand. The battle in Shandong is finally over!"

Zhao Zixun was excited: "That's great! As long as Jiangxi completes allotment of land and land, the New Deal can be vigorously promoted across the country."

Emperor Jianwu nodded. People have money and food, so they will naturally consume it. The scene that happened in Suzhou last year will spread all over the country, and the country will be strong and the people will be rich.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from the outer hall, and then the deputy general manager of Qianqing Palace appeared outside the door, panting: "Wake up, wake up. The concubine is awake."

Emperor Jianwu was overjoyed: "Really?"

Deputy Chief of Qianqing Palace: "Yes."

Zhao Zixun: "This is the sincerity of the emperor who has moved the heavens!"

Emperor Jianwu gave him a blank look: "It was Ning Guogong who found the prescription from ancient books."

Zhao Zixun smiled awkwardly.

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Relying on the emperor's virtue like heaven, good things happen one after another. As long as the big guy has the emperor in his heart, pretends to be the country, and works hard, my Great Zhou Dynasty will still be in full swing!"

"That's exactly what the inner minister said."

Zhao Zixun nodded in agreement, "Taking Liaodong, the Tartars will only be half breathed. According to the military's plan, the waterways will go hand in hand, and it will take only half a year to completely wipe out the Manchu Tartars! My Great Zhou not only regained the former Ming Dynasty's lost The land has been expanded once again! Your Majesty’s achievements will be second only to Emperor Taizong who reopened the Han family!”

Emperor Jianwu burst into laughter and said after laughing: "I don't want to expand the territory, I just want the people to live a better life, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and no longer suffer from hunger and cold."

Zhao Zixun was stunned, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty is kind and wise!"

Emperor Jianwu laughed again: "You learned this from Shoufu?" Then he turned to Dai Quan: "Today is Jia Hu's birthday, right?"

Dai Quan: "Yes."

Emperor Jianwu thought for a while, walked to the imperial case, picked up a pen and began to write, and said: "It was also Jia Hu's idea to dig the tomb of the Qing royal family, and he cured the old concubine, so I should reward him with something. "

After writing, Emperor Jianwu picked up the ink pad and blew it, and said to Dai Quan, "Send these things to Jia Hu."

Dai Quan: "Yes." He took the ink note and walked out.

Emperor Jianwu said to the deputy general manager again: "If you go to the Daming Palace to serve the Queen Mother, please tell me that I will come over later to pay my respects."

The deputy head of Qianqing Palace replied: "Yes."

Emperor Jianwu picked up the two urgent deliveries and the military newspaper, and said to Zhao Zixun, "Let's go to the cabinet to check the room."

Under Jia Hu's command, Xichun's birthday banquet was held at Ouxiangxie. Of course, Lin Daiyu and Youshi were in charge, and Qin Keqing helped.

Lotus Lotus Pavilion is a complex of buildings, not a single water pavilion. This complex is composed of water pavilions, small pavilions, curved corridors and zigzag bamboo bridges.

Xichun's residence, Nuanxiangwu, is not far from Ou Xiang Pavilion. Jia Hu has to pass by Ou Xiang Pavilion every time he goes to Xichun's place.

In the end, Jia Hu did not arrange opera, but asked the civil servants and others to perform the music in the small pavilion, and listened to it with the sound of water.

Xichun is a generous person and insists on letting Yuanyang, Amber, Zicuckoo and others attend her birthday banquet. With a wave of her little hand, her sister-in-law is exhausted.

Lin Daiyu and Youshi hurriedly arranged two birthday banquets to be placed on the porch.

At this time, Yuanyang, Hubo and others were eating happily when they suddenly saw Jia Rong leading Dai Quan and several young eunuchs. They quickly stood up and ran to the water pavilion.

The group of people quickly reached the water pavilion. Jia Hu was already waiting by the pavilion, while Jia Mu and others were standing in the pavilion.

Dai Quan passed Jia Rong and walked forward, said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family is here to pay respects to the Duke's birthday."

Jia Hu hurriedly came out and said with a smile: "I can't afford it. The manager will invite you in for tea."

Dai Quan leaned forward with a smile, told about Liaodong and Shandong, then took out the ink note from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Hu: "This is a birthday gift from His Majesty." After speaking, he waved his hand.

Two young eunuchs walked over with two boxes in their hands. Dai Quan lifted the lid of the first box, and saw ten Dongzhu as big as thumbs lying in the box.

Jia Hu was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't have been picked out from the pile of dead people!

Dai Quan seemed to have read through Jia Hu's thoughts and said with a smile: "This is a tribute from the Wu Ya family to the royal family." Then he opened the second box lid, and there was a neatly arranged ingot in this box. The gleaming gold ingot has the Chinese character "Shou" printed in seal script on each ingot.

Dai Quan continued: "This is a specially cast gold ingot, two ingots, a total of twenty ingots. Other birthday gifts are placed in Ning'an Hall."

Jia Hu bowed in the direction of the imperial city, and then glanced at Jia Rong.

Jia Rong understood, took out a silver ticket from her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, please have a cup of tea with this silver ticket." Saying that, he stuffed the silver ticket into Dai Quan's hand inside.

Dai Quan was not polite, wiped it directly into his sleeve, and said to Jia Hu with a smile: "I won't have any tea. The Za family will give Madam a greeting and go back. Alas, I almost forgot, the old lady woke up. Madam Madame will be glad to know." Then she leaned into Jia Hu's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty already knows about Lin'anbo."

Jia Hu was slightly startled, and said: "Please." He walked into the water pavilion with Dai Quan
