Chapter 200 Don't say that you don't expect it!
As he said that, Chen Ding looked righteous: "This time I went to meet General Manager Chu with Lord Jiao. I didn't have much hope, but I never thought that His Majesty had already made arrangements for the confiscated property!"
Everyone stared at Chen Ding in unison. The emperor had made arrangements. Could it be that they were all filled in the emperor's private treasury as they thought?
With a sigh, Chen Ding said slowly: "My lords, this time, the total income of 35 million taels of silver from Lu Wenyang's family was confiscated. Your Majesty has decided to fill more than 20 million taels of silver into the national treasury, and the remaining jade and jewelry into the emperor's private treasury. Your Majesty is really a wise king!"
"What!"
"More than 20 million taels will be charged into the national treasury?"
Suddenly, the pavilions were stunned and looked at Chen Ding in surprise. If this was not what he said from the old-fashioned Chen Ding, they would have doubted whether Chen Ding was deceived.
Chen Ding snorted coldly and said, "Did Chen dare to randomly pass on the emperor's will? Now more than 20 million taels of silver are at the ferry. General Manager Chu has only transferred hundreds of taels of carriages, but it is not enough to transport all the property back to the capital. So, sirs, think about how to transport those silver into the silver treasury of the Ministry of Revenue!"
A cabinet master immediately shouted: "Import the Ministry of Works immediately and ask the Ministry of Works to find a way to draw chariots and horses, and no matter what, the silver in the ministry must be transported into the Ministry of Revenue's bank in the shortest time."
"The Ministry of Works may not be able to draw so many cars and horses in the first place. We can temporarily rent cars and horses from several businesses in the name of the court!"
Everyone, just say something, I will soon find a perfect and feasible method.
Chen Ding nodded slightly and said, "Give orders immediately and send people to collect chariots and horses immediately. Before dark, be sure to transport all the patterns into the Ministry of Revenue's bank treasury."
That was more than 20 million taels of silver. At this moment, several cabinet masters were shocked. When did the imperial court have so many silver patterns?
To be honest, once the court is running, the power it can mobilize is very strong. Whether it is the Ministry of Works or the renting of civilian chariots, it was almost less than an hour after the orders of several cabinet masters were issued. Hundreds of carriages, led by Chen Ding and other cabinet masters, heading straight to the wharf outside the city.
As for Chen Ding's proposal to visit the emperor, the cabinet masters unanimously agreed that it would be better to wait until all the money was put into the warehouse to pay homage.
It took a cup of tea to leave the city gate. Such a huge noise was even greater than that of Chu Yi's previous coaching carriage, and even attracted a lot of attention from the people.
Originally, Chu Yi's carriage recruitment had already attracted many people's attention. Now several cabinet masters personally took out the horse carriage recruitment, which made people even more concerned.
In the teahouse, many people watched the long convoy leave the city gate and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, if I read it correctly, there should be hundreds of carriages!"
"The cabinet has taken the carriage to snatch confiscated property with Chu Yi!"
Some people already know that at the wharf outside the city, several large ships that returned from Tianjin Wei were parked, and the large ships were loaded with confiscated property belonging to Lu Wenyang.
In everyone's consciousness, the confiscated property naturally needs to be filled into the emperor's treasury. Now seeing several cabinet masters leading the caravan out of the city, it doesn't seem like helping Chu Yi, it seems like he is going to snatch gold and silver with Chu Yi.
"Hahaha, if this is true, there will be a joke to watch."
"Come on, come on, someone hasn't gambled. Let's bet whether General Manager Chu is powerful or the cabinet masters are more powerful!"
When hundreds of carriages came slowly, Chu Yi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the situation: "I really didn't expect that the court would move, and the effect was so high."
Jiao Fang smiled bitterly when she heard this. It was not that the court could not do things, but that most of the people spent their thoughts on how to engage in and fight. There were too few people who were willing to calm down and do things. Otherwise, with the resources controlled by the court, once they were mobilized, it would be very terrifying.
More than a thousand years ago, Emperor First Emperor was able to mobilize manpower to build the Great Wall, and Yang Guang was able to build the Grand Canal of Thousand Miles. These were the power of the court. If the court had not mobilized manpower, how could such a miraculous project appear in this world?
Chen Ding and a group of cabinet members were all present. Because Chu Yi gave him in advance, under the guidance of the soldiers in the army, the carriages drawn from the cabinet slowly moved forward one by one.
"I've met General Manager Chu!"
Several cabinet masters greeted Chu Yi. Even if they had any objections to Chu Yi, they would not dare to show it in front of Chu Yi. Even if they wanted to die, don't provoke this god of killing.
At most, people kill people, but this person always kills a family. If you don’t want to live, don’t involve your family.
Chu Yi glanced at the several masters, nodded slightly and said, "All masters are here, so Chu can convey His Majesty's will."
As he said that, Chu Yi said, "I think you should have heard from Lord Chen Ding that His Majesty meant to fill more than 20 million taels of silver into the national treasury, and I have no objection."
When the few people heard this, they immediately looked happy on their faces. Everyone was still a little hesitant before coming. Now, after Chu Yi said this, he can finally feel at ease.
Chen Ding would not lie to them, and Chu Yi would not lie to them.
Seeing the expressions of the cabinet masters in his eyes, Chu Yi sneered: "Everyone, this is more than 20 million taels of silver. I don't think I can say anything. You can also think that wealth is moving. After these silvers are filled in the treasury, if anyone dares to make the idea of these silvers, don't blame me for not making any mistakes. I won't mind slaughtering a few more families at that time!"
Several cabinet masters couldn't help but shudder, and the greed that had not yet arisen in their hearts disappeared. The money is indeed tempting, but in comparison, life is still important.
Although some people want money but not life, they all cherish their lives. The key is that they were stunned by the murderous aura on Chu Yi. This person can really say that he can do it. If he says that he will kill a family, there will be one missing, and it will be guaranteed that the whole family will be reunited.
Since the cabinet had transferred enough carriages, Chu Yi naturally ordered Han Kun to order the soldiers to load the boxes containing gold and silver on the carriages.
As for Chen Ding and others, they took the account books and checked the numbers on the boxes one by one.
With so many boxes, it is naturally unlikely to check one by one, but it involves tens of millions of taels of silver, so it is naturally not negligible. Each of the cabinet masters pulled out a box every now and then to open it to check it out.
In front of Chen Ding, a large box slowly opened in front of several Jinyiwei, and the face of Dongchang Monkey was suddenly dazzling.
This box is a neatly arranged golden ingot, each of which is the same size, arranged neatly, with golden light flashing, which makes people feel moved by it.
This box is a full tens of thousands of taels of gold. If everyone hadn't monitored each other, someone would have been unable to help but pounce on him. It would have been really touching gold and silver.
Even Chen Ding couldn't help but breathe tightly, but Chen Ding was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Seeing that there were too many gold and silver in the Ministry of Revenue's silver treasury, he had no less determination. He immediately reacted, checked it intently, nodded slightly, and then sealed the box again.
The other cabinet masters were like Chen Ding, and they randomly selected a box to check. It can be said that they randomly checked dozens of boxes, but none of them had any problems.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that unless Han Kun, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and even the personal army of the emperor are united, there will definitely be no problem with this batch of gold, silver and wealth.
Under the heavy siege of the army, it would be strange if someone could touch the gold and silver.
When big boxes were loaded into carriages and arranged in neat rows, there were even a soldier in front of him holding weapons and guarding him.
He was busy until the afternoon, and finally removed all the gold and silver items. Compared with the account book, the number was accurate. Han Kun, who was responsible for escorting these items, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time and his heart fell down.
Otherwise, if there is any error in the amount of property, his guard commander would probably not be able to withstand the consequences.
The carriage started slowly, and it was obvious that deep ruts appeared on the ground immediately. Obviously, the boxes on the carriage were extremely heavy.
Teams of soldiers guarded the surroundings. When they got on the official road, cavalry opened the way and the martial law was everywhere. When pedestrians on the official road saw this situation, they didn't even need the soldiers to drive them away. They all hid aside and avoided these soldiers like wolves and tigers.
Everyone looked at the long carriage, and then the traces left by the covered carriage, leaving behind. Many people were amazed.
It is no secret that these carriages contain gold, silver and wealth. Although the official road is far away from the pier, hundreds of carriages can't hold back together to transport gold, silver and wealth. The movement is so great that even fools can notice it.
Scream, squeak, carriages drove safely into the capital, and some of them were escorted to the location of the Ministry of Revenue Bank’s bank treasury. After entering the capital, although the martial law was as strict as the long street, everyone could watch from afar and stare at the hundreds of carriages divided into two, hundreds of them heading towards the palace, and hundreds of them heading towards the Ministry of Revenue.
"Hey, can the masters really grab the confiscated property from that man Chu Yi?"
"It's strange. With Chu Yi's usual strength, how could he allow these property to enter the Ministry of Revenue's bank treasury?"
