Until he returned to the palace, Brother Kong Fang was still all in Zhao Xu's mind.

Three to five million dollars!

"My father worked hard and saved the sealing pile library for nineteen years...it is only more than 60 million, less than 70 million!"

Zhao Xu recalled the pile-sealed warehouses he and Queen Mother Xiang saw in the palace.

There are thirty-two treasuries in Xining and twenty treasuries in Yuanfeng.

Those sealed warehouses filled with silk, copper coins, gold, silver, and spices.

Real cash, hard currency, is probably only half.

The rest are all in kind, including silk, spices, ivory...

Except for a few items such as ivory, the rest will actually decay, deteriorate, and then depreciate in value.

For example, last year, the Fengzhuang Warehouse sold off a batch of silk and cotton items that had been stored for too long.

Each horse is worth only three hundred coins.

As for the normal market price, a piece of silk cloth is usually 300 yuan, and a piece of gauze is usually more than 600 yuan.

Therefore, the silk and silk damasks in the pile storage must be cleared out regularly.

This is also Zhao Xu's consistent operation these days.

Whether it is taking advantage of the opportunity to recover arrears from market transactions, or the Song and Liao trade.

They are all trying their best to clear out and seal these commodities in the warehouse.

Now Wen Yanbo's family can afford at least three million coins, gold and silver.

What does it mean to be extremely wealthy?

This is!

If Wen Yanbo is like this, what about Fu Bi? What about Han Qi?

How many should there be in these two families?

I'm afraid it's just the same as Wen Yanbo.

If you play a lot of stud games, you should be able to collect three to five million coins.

"That's the case..." Zhao Xu whispered: "Wang Gui, the official, has done almost a million..."

"How can these elders be inferior to Wang Gui?"

Last year, after Wang Gui died suddenly, his descendants carried the coffin and returned to their hometown. There were more than ten ships carrying gold, silver, copper, coins and silk.

One million strings, whatever you want.

This is the Song Dynasty!

A dynasty in which the emperor, civil servants, nobles, military ministers, and relatives all lay down to suck the blood of the common people.

A bureaucratic monopoly economic society.

This was something that the Song Dynasty had already decided before the founding of the country.

The root of the disaster was laid even before the Anshi Rebellion.

so……

Zhao Xu sighed!

Wen Xunniang, who had been standing next to him, heard Zhao Xu sigh and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone, what are you worried about?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "I'm not worried!"

"On the contrary, I am very happy!"

Everything has two sides!

While the Song Dynasty desperately squeezed the people, it was also the dynasty that was most closely tied to the scholar-bureaucrats and military ministers.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty did not establish a land system and did not suppress mergers!

Therefore, the Song Dynasty respects private property, and before that bastard Zhao Ji messes around, even if it is demolished, reasonable compensation must be given.

As a result, there were countless civil disputes and lawsuits over property.

Therefore, the common people have a very rich sense of private property.

As a result, the entire society focuses on money.

What does this mean? Zhao Xu, who has studied abroad in modern times, knows it clearly.

Therefore, the so-called struggle between the new party and the old party is essentially a struggle around the redistribution of social property and resources.

Not all the old parties are conservative.

Among them were a large number of property owners who fought against the New Party purely to protect their property.

For example, those relatives, nobles and local dignitaries.

The New Party may not all be reformists, there are countless speculators among them.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is actually happy.

The situation he faced was much better than that of the later Ming emperors.

The resistance will be even less!

What he is least afraid of is that scholar-bureaucrats, military ministers and nobles love money.

I like money well!

It’s better if we all make money together!

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and his whole body became excited.

Wen Xunniang watched from the side, although she didn't know why the official family suddenly became so happy.

However, it is a good thing if the official family is happy!

Yu Xun soon arrived at Funing Hall, and under the service of Wen Xunniang, Zhao Xu stepped off the Xun car.

Then he saw it, and Empress Dowager Xiang came out with Shang Gong Zhang and others.

"Mother!" Zhao Xu stepped forward and saluted: "My son is back."

"Okay!" Queen Mother Xiang chuckled, helped Zhao Xu up, and held his hand: "My son is back, and Queen Mother will feel at ease."

…

"The Emperor is so grateful to the Grand Master's residence... The Grand Master will receive guests again tomorrow..."

In Taichung, the censor, whispers are spreading.

Lu Tao sat in his official office a little restless, his hair wet with sweat.

"For the current plan, I'm afraid we can only go to the table to ask for information!" Opposite him, the supervisory censor Zhu Guangting sighed: "The chess is just one step away!"

They wrote a letter last month, talking about the Grand Master Wen Yanbo and begging to honor the Imperial Master. In fact, they just wanted to get into trouble.

Touching porcelain is an art.

It was a good encounter. When I met the Prime Minister, I was very upset inside the palace.

The board was raised high and finally fell gently.

It's amazing that after being away for a year or two, you can come back in glory.

Has Wen Yanbo lost his rivals over the years?

impossible!

Therefore, as long as you do well, you may be able to grab a big help and rise to great heights from then on.

Even if you don't succeed, it's not a loss.

It can establish an image of being strong-willed and serving the country without fear of the powerful.

After all, they are officials and this is what they eat.

But how did you know that things would turn out like this?

The initial memorial was forgotten once it entered the palace.

Just when they thought there would be no response to this memorial.

But he was stabbed out.

Then, within just one day, the whole city was in uproar.

The whole Bianjing capital knew about it - there was a letter from the imperial censor, requesting that Wen Yanbo, a veteran of the four dynasties and a hero in making policy decisions, should abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

Especially Hu Feipan from the Bianjing Newspaper, who was jumping up and down on this matter, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Finally, this matter was transformed from a simple matter of government affairs to a widely discussed gossip among the people.

Therefore, the emperor personally visited the Wen Mansion and expressed his condolences to the elders.
