Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 220: One hundred thousand gold, really rich
"Sir, how many days has your Majesty given us?"

There was a shrewd person among them who looked deeply at Zhang Wei and asked.

If the time is long enough, they can operate in secret and move assets out without anyone noticing.

Anyway, they don't just take the bright line route.

To preserve wealth.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the court.

In order to allow the Zhang family to continue to develop.

They had already moved some of their property into the dark.

This money was the foundation of their Zhang family at the time of their disaster.

Generally not used easily.

After decades of accumulation.

The Zhang family still has a certain amount of wealth.

These things on the surface are just for outsiders to see.

Just afraid of something happening.

just now.

Since Liu Che wanted to confiscate half of their wealth, they would definitely not be able to fight against the royal power.

We can only race against time.

See if you can move most of your possessions to a dark location.

As long as you do it properly, you can still be unnoticed.

The people around looked at the speaker, their eyes flickering slightly.

They think the same thing as this person.

All of a sudden.

Everyone's eyes stayed on Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei naturally knew what they were thinking.

Seeing that these people were able to take charge of their own affairs, Zhang Wei was naturally extremely happy, but he did not accept their opinions.

"Since His Majesty intends to confiscate the family property, he must have a certain understanding of Zhang Jiaming's accounts. If he violates the rules, the punishment may be more severe."

"You go back and make preparations first, hand over all the revenue from Jizhou and Jingzhou, and then hand over half of the businesses on Zhang Jiaming's side to the treasury to show the Zhang family's loyalty."

"I'm afraid that a smarter person will ask him to go to court and hand this thing over to His Majesty."

Zhang Wei gave a vague reminder.

As long as you have so much money, you have to plan something for yourself.

It would be a good thing if the Zhang family could become imperial merchants.

Originally, he wanted to put this matter aside for the time being.

We’ll talk about that later.

But others couldn't tolerate their continued development. In this case, he naturally had to make plans early and tie the Zhang family and Liu Che together before the other party took action.

As long as the Zhang family becomes an imperial merchant.

That is to do things for Liu Che.

No matter how much the revenue is, it belongs to the state treasury.

He wants those people to draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.

Look at the faces of those people.

"Here!"

The people below nodded.

They didn't understand Zhang Wei's purpose.

But it does not prevent them from carrying out Zhang Wei's orders.

After learning Zhang Wei's opinion, the people in the commercial bank did not hesitate and immediately began to organize all the assets in their hands.

When they were dealing with assets on the surface, Sang Hongyang actually sent someone to supervise them.

Sang Hongyang is now a popular person in front of Liu Che, and he is also the imperial censor of the Han Dynasty.

He has the power to supervise all officials, and he is proficient in farming and mulberry.

The policy of suppressing business was most likely proposed by this person.

This man's talent is indeed outstanding.

With him here, Dahan's economy will definitely develop rapidly.

When Sang Hongyang learned that the Zhang family had begun to count their assets, he immediately sent people from Yushitai to supervise them.

The people at Yushitai were stunned as they watched boxes of gold and silver being moved out of the warehouse.

They knew that Zhangjia Trading Company was very wealthy.

But I didn't expect to be so rich.

How much is this box of gold?

No wonder His Majesty wants to take action against the Zhang family.

Even they couldn't help but be a little jealous, even very moved.

"Gone."

When the people at Yushitai saw that Zhangjia Trading Company had moved all operations out of the warehouse, they frowned slightly and prepared to let people go to investigate.

"What are you doing?" When the people from the Zhang Family Trading Company saw that the officials in front of them wanted to enter the inner palace to check, there was a hint of coldness in their eyes.

Stand directly in front of this person.

"We've taken out everything we have to take."

"Don't bully others too much."

"The Minister and the Prime Minister are not vegetarians, so don't take things too far."

Behind them are Zhang Wei and Zhang Wangjing.

How could these two people tolerate them in their territory?

The people at Yushitai were stunned.

They looked at the people from Zhang Family Trading Company.

Surprised at their attitude.

interesting.

They didn't expect that this man would dare to confront them.

Thinking of Sang Hongyang's instructions, the people at Yushitai did not press forward step by step, but asked people to count the belongings on the spot.

The counting was done in front of all the people.

This matter could never be hidden.

There is no way to hide it.

The surrounding people couldn't help being shocked when they saw the gold and silver moved out by Zhang's Trading Company.

“My God, there’s so much gold!”

"It is said that the Zhang family's businessmen have a wealth of millions. This is not just a fortune of tens of millions, but it is clearly tens of millions."

"That's a lot of money, I've never seen so much gold in my life!"

"What do those rangers do for a living? The Zhang family is so rich in business, but I haven't seen them robbing the rich and giving to the poor!"

"Hush, you dare to say such a thing. The court law has been issued. Anyone who breaks into a private house and commits theft will have his hands and feet cut off and be exiled. Do you want to be a gangster?"

"..."

The onlookers around looked at the wealth of Zhang Family Trading Company with burning eyes.

They had never seen so much wealth in their lives.

It was an eye-opener for them.

The people who came here to collect property were also very shocked.

They had all the boxes containing their belongings loaded onto carriages.

A total of twenty carriages were rented.

Then these things were successfully sent to the imperial city.

Liu Che had been waiting outside the imperial city.

Watching box after box of gold and silver being delivered to the treasury, Liu Che didn't know what to think.

It wasn't until Sang Hongyang came to report that Liu Che came back to his senses slightly: "How much gold is there?"

Liu Che's voice made Sang Hongyang gasp slightly.

Although he comes from a wealthy businessman's family.

He also knows the methods used by wealthy businessmen to make money.

Maybe compared to the Zhang family business, his family is simply dwarfed.

Not greedy at all.

"Your Majesty, the property handed over by the Zhang Family Trading Company has been sorted out, totaling one hundred thousand gold!"

"hiss!"

Even though Liu Che was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

One hundred thousand gold.

Nowadays, a big sum of money can feed a person enough.

Not to mention one hundred thousand gold.

This can completely arm yourself with an army of 100,000 people.

And more than enough.

The Zhang family really gave him an unexpected surprise.

"Where is the person who contributed the property now?" Liu Che asked.

Sang Hongyang looked at Liu Che and asked people to bring people from Zhangjia Trading Company over.

This man must follow him back to the imperial city.

There was nothing he could do.

He had just handed over half of his net worth, so it would be a fool's errand for him to refuse.

I really didn’t dare to say anything.

You can only bring people into the imperial city.

Now, Liu Che wanted to see the other party, and Sang Hongyang naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only have people from Zhang's Trading Company brought over.

"Zhang Xingfu, a common man, has met your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"

Zhang Xingfu came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Before he even saw the hem of Liu Che's clothes, he bowed his head directly.

Make a great gesture. Liu Che looked at Zhang Xingfu who was kneeling on the ground, and then winked at the attendant next to him.

The attendant nodded and entered the inner hall directly, calling out Zhang Wei from behind the screen.

"Master Shangshu, Your Majesty is affectionate!"

"Thank you for your service, my lord." Zhang Wei nodded to the attendant, turned around and left the hall.

"Keep your head up."

After Liu Che saw Zhang Wei come out, he said to Zhang Xingfu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xingfu raised his head.

He lowered his eyes and did not dare to look directly at Liu Che.

"My dear, your Zhang family is really full of talents. This person can become the person in charge of the Zhang family business at such a young age. The Zhang family really impresses me."

When the person kneeling below heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Wei beside Liu Che.

When he saw Zhang Wei.

A hint of admiration clearly appeared in Zhang Xingfu's eyes.

Then he quickly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang family's motto is, as long as you have the ability, you will not recognize anyone. Regardless of their age, as long as they are talented, they can be in high positions!"

"presumptuous!"

When Sang Hongyang saw that Zhang Xingfu had answered before His Majesty even asked, he raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at him, and scolded him loudly.

"No defense." Liu Che waved his hand to stop Sang Hongyang's move, and then looked at Zhang Wei: "Ai Qing, what do you mean?"

He made it very clear before.

Zhang Wei was asked to take the initiative to hand over half of his net worth.

Zhang Wei was not allowed to take this person to Weiyang Palace.

This person is just here to force me into the palace.

Liu Che hated this kind of behavior the most.

If Zhang Wei couldn't explain clearly, he might ask for guilt again. Even if the other party handed over half of his net worth, it would still be difficult to eliminate his guilt.

Zhang Wei saw this.

Bowed slightly towards Liu Che.

He said with a respectful face: "Your Majesty, the reason why I let this person come to the imperial city is because I deeply reflected after returning home and felt that it was very inappropriate to hand over only half of my wealth, so I did this. I hope Your Majesty, forgive me.”

"Oh?"

Liu Che immediately became interested.

He looked at Zhang Wei with deep eyes and asked Zhang Wei to continue.

Sang Hongyang next to him looked at Zhang Wei, then at Liu Che next to him, and sighed helplessly.

No wonder Zhang Wei could become the great minister of the Han Dynasty and Liu Che's right-hand man. His speaking skills were so profound that even he could not match them.

Zhang Wei was calm and composed under Liu Che's questioning.

Still able to deal with it calmly.

"Your Majesty, after I returned home, I thought about it day and night, and finally came up with a complete plan."

"The reason why I formed the caravan is for the sake of the Han Dynasty and His Majesty!"

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't mention it, I will hand over all the wealth I get to the national treasury and use it to benefit the people."

"In order to make the best use of the people of the Zhang Family Trading Company, I came here to see you. I want the Zhang Family Trading Company to become an imperial merchant, serve the royal family, and benefit the people!"

The words "Huangshang" did not appear in this era.

Now that Zhang Wei mentioned it, neither Liu Che nor Sang Hongyang could react.

They looked at each other.

They all saw a trace of doubt in their eyes.

Sang Hongyang knew something about this. He looked at Zhang Wei deeply and explained it literally.

"What does Lord Shangshu mean, is that the Zhang family business bank should be used by the royal family, and all the wealth earned should belong to the royal family?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Wei nodded.

hiss!
When Sang Hongyang saw this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He looked at Zhang Wei steadily.

I think this person is a lunatic.

Does he know what he's talking about?

After handing over half of their net worth, they still have the energy to rise again.

But if they become imperial merchants, all the wealth they gain will have to be returned to the national treasury. What is their purpose in doing this?
Don't talk about Sang Hongyang.

Liu Che was also a little dazed.

He just wants to hit business.

Let those people stop being opportunistic.

Let them keep their feet on the ground and cultivate mulberry trees.

But Zhang Wei's words made him a little unresponsive.

The treasury is indeed short of money.

Zhang Wei's doing this can indeed fill the treasury. As long as the treasury has money, they can benefit the people and be exempted from corvee.

This is one of the things he wants to do.

He not only likes to fight in the north and south.

He also likes to benefit the people.

He wanted the people under him to live and work in peace and contentment.

Thinking about it, Liu Che looked deeply at Zhang Wei, and then focused on Zhang Xingfu.

"Is this person the emperor's merchant you selected?"

Zhang Wei nodded again: "Your Majesty, this man is already familiar with everything about Zhang Family Trading Company, and he is still young, so he can definitely serve your Majesty."

"If His Majesty agrees, the Zhang Family Trading Company can now change the plaque and hang it in the name of the royal family. All future income will belong to the royal family."

"allow!"

Liu Che responded immediately.

Are you kidding me?
This is pie from heaven.

If he doesn't pick it up, he will be sorry for Zhang Wei's hard work.

Sang Hongyang looked at Zhang Wei deeply and sighed helplessly.

This move of retreating into advancing is really clever.

Not only did it dispel Liu Che's suspicion of the Zhang family, but it also allowed the Zhang family to go one step further.

Previously in the court, Liu Che did have doubts about the Zhang family, so he advocated his policy of suppressing business and even suppressed business.

He did not hesitate to issue an edict.

The purpose is to defeat the Zhang family.

But what the Zhang family did was simply wonderful.

Not only did he resolve the crisis without bloodshed, but he also made the Zhang family irreplaceable in the minds of those who went out.

The Zhang family is really full of talents.

He felt a little greedy now.

The Zhang family has a foothold both in the army and in the court.

What they say already matters.

Now this is proposed again.

As expected, His Majesty will praise the Zhang family vigorously in the court tomorrow.

Zhang Wei will even be given a reward.

Zhang Wei is really cunning.

There is no difference between him and the old fox.

He was obviously several years older than Zhang Wei, but looking at Zhang Wei's appearance, he felt inferior.

Zhang Xingfu, who was kneeling on the ground, had a smile in his eyes.

Their adults' decision was successful.

Now that the Zhang family has become Huangshang, they have more room to control.

Now there is a royal brand.

It will be much easier for them to do things.

There will also be many more businessmen working with them.

And they can control every industry.

Even has absolute pricing power.

What kind of right is this?
Although they promised on the surface that all the proceeds would be returned to the national treasury.

But who knows whether they will be willing to do so or not?

At Zhangjia Trading Company.

There are ways to make false accounts.

Anyone who comes from Zhangjia Trading Company, even if they make false accounts, no one will necessarily find out. This is what Zhang Wei specially taught them.

Even if Liu Che sends a special accounting clerk.

They can also fish in troubled waters.

You can use this name to make a lot of money for the Zhang family.

As a result, they may earn much more than before.

After the matter is over.

Zhang Wei and Sang Hongyang left the imperial city together.

When they were about to leave, Sang Hongyang said quietly: "Master Shangshu's move of retreating into advancement is really clever. He is worthy of being an important minister of the court. I admire you!"

Zhang Wei was too lazy to talk to him.

So I said a few perfunctory sentences.

Then he got on the carriage.

On the carriage, Zhang Wei closed his eyes and meditated.

It wasn't until they left the imperial city and reached the corner of the main alley that the coachman was asked to stop the carriage.
