Chapter 10 Huge amount of property of unknown origin
Gong Daming is full of confidence in Du Yidian's technical level. It is said that this guy has worked in seven or eight companies, and the industry involves electronic and chemical machinery. Every time he arrives at a company, he is a technical backbone. When he leaves the company, no one can compete with him in terms of technology. Du Yidian later simply became the boss himself. Not to mention, he made a small profit. Later, he sold the factory and was determined to engage in "ball lightning", and he was all done with a few money. Unfortunately, Du Yidian gave up the pursuit of being an excellent entrepreneur. Otherwise, Du Yidian might have Du Yidian in the case of "Success Science". This is a pity, but Du Yidian's technical talent is unquestionable.
The "Du version" black gunpowder grenade that Du Yidian is about to launch, but I don't know what the effect is. The power of the black gunpowder is too small. When the anti-Japanese war, the mines made by the Eighth Route Army with black gunpowder were not very powerful. They often only had two or three pieces of blown up, and there was no fragmentation, which was only the effect of blowing up the arms and legs, which had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction.
However, Gong Daming, who is almost superstitious about Du Yidian's technology, believes that the "Du version" grenade will definitely work!
Chongzhen and Wang Chengen thought for a long time and spent a lot of thought on how to spread the grenade technology to Li Zicheng without any trace. You can't say that we were the technology we used in later generations! You can't make Li Zicheng think that Chongzhen is too capable.
The next day, Wang Chengen was writing and painting for his "Du version" grenade, and soldiers from the Dashun Army arrived and took Wang Chengen to the Bixiang Town and Fu Office. The so-called Bixiang Town and Fu Office was a new yamen specially established by Li Zicheng to recover stolen money and help the money. This yamen cannot be a permanent institution. If the stolen money and help the money and the money can be chased on a large scale every year, it can always be a big family. Then Li Zicheng doesn't have to do anything. Will he create a myth of "never collecting fu"? Well, this is a fool!
After arriving at the Bixiang Fushun Office, a servant brought Wang Chengen to a room. In the room was a leader who looked like a general, with a clamp stick and a torture instrument hanging on the wall. The servant replied: "Grandpa Wang bring it." When the leader saw Wang Chengen, he made a gesture of invitation and said: "Grandpa Wang please sit!"
Wang Chengen was not polite and sat down as he said. It seemed that these people would rather kill them by mistake than let them go, and they would not escape the disaster.
Sure enough, the leader looked at Wang Chengen with his eyes: "Eunuch Wang is loyal and righteous, and he is also very respectful! However, someone reported that Eunuch Wang had collected some ill-gotten wealth in the past. According to the rules of the Dashun Dynasty, these stolen silvers must be collected. The latest stolen money must have been heard of. Mr. Liu was particularly concerned and should take care of Eunuch Wang. Just donate 6,000 taels and subscribe to 4,000 taels of "Pingliao Public Debt" and pass the customs. This "Pingliao Public Debt" is used to pacify the Tartars. It is an 8-year loan borrowed by Dashun from you. The principal and interest will be paid in 8 years. The interest is 100 to pay 6, and every 100 taels of silver is 6 taels of annual interest."
Wang Chengen originally suggested half of the donation and half of the public debt, but when Liu Zongmin came to the June 4th Incident, the annual interest rate rose to 6%. Wang Chengen thought to himself, it was really a geese to pull out the hair. At least I gave you the idea of Pingliao Public Debt, and he had the face of Chongzhen, and he actually forced out the silver. As we all know, there are no eunuchs who don’t like to hold silver. The pursuit of others is not as colorful as ordinary people, and only this hobby. Wang Chengen is finally a clean eunuch, but the silver comes to his door and there is no reason to return it. Wang Chengen despises the eunuchs’ bad habit of holding silver. Thinking about it, it’s useless to keep it. When he runs away, he is a burden. If he wants to open this layer, he answered happily:
"You're welcome! I'll go back to the house and take the money."
"Okay, somebody will send you to go with you."
Wang Chengen's living place in the palace was simple, and the house he bought outside was a two-in-one courtyard. Wang Chengen has been in the palace these days, so he really doesn't know how his family is.
When I got home, I felt a little relieved when I saw that my mother was still good.
Later, he went to the place where the silver was hidden and asked the butler to count the silver. Even the butler didn't know the silver hidden in the wall. Wang Chengen remembered that it was about 15,000 taels of silver and 400 taels of gold.
Du Yidian roughly calculated that this property was about 17,000 taels of silver. Calculated that the monthly salary of an ordinary servant in the Ming Dynasty was about one tael and six cents, and the minimum salary of the lower-class civil servants in the 21st century was 1,200 yuan. Conversion was that one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 750 yuan in the later generations. If converted according to the price of rice, a normal period of the Ming Dynasty could buy two stones of rice. A stone of rice in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 120 kilograms of rice (Ming Dynasty kilograms), and a kilogram of rice in the Ming Dynasty was about 1.57 kilograms of rice in the later generations, that is, two stones of rice, that is, 188 kilograms of rice. Calculated based on 4 yuan in the later generations, the purchasing power of one tael of silver was equivalent to 752 yuan. Therefore, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to more than 700 yuan.
If the labor wage is relatively more, the wage for a strong laborer in the Ming Dynasty was 5 cents of silver, which is 0.05 taels of silver. The daily wage of migrant workers in the 21st century in the later generations was more than 50 yuan. So if calculated based on the labor wage, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 1,000 yuan.
The above 17,000 taels of silver can be converted to about 12 million yuan, and a little higher can be converted to 17 million yuan. His uncle's! This is really a huge asset! If it is based on his normal income of Wang Chengen, it is better to calculate 10 taels of silver per month. If you don't eat or drink, you will have to work for 140 years to earn enough of this. His uncle's! Is this considered honest?
Ten thousand taels of silver are not a small amount. One pound in the Ming Dynasty was 16 taels, while one pound in the Ming Dynasty was 1.57 pounds in the later generations, so one pound is equivalent to one pound in the later generations. 20 taels are one pound, and ten thousand taels of silver is 500 kilograms. So this silver was carried back by the horses of the Fufu Department of Xiang.
After receiving Wang Chengen's silver, the staff of Bixiang Town and Fuyuan ordered 240 taels of silver to return it to Wang Chengen, explaining that this was the interest of the 4,000 taels of "Pingliao Public Debt" this year. Then they issued a donation ticket of 6,000 taels of silver, and then issued a "Pingliao Public Debt" of 4,000 taels of silver, and gave it to Wang Chengen, instructing: Get it, this "Pingliao Public Debt" cannot be lost. At this time of year, go to Bixiang Town and Fuyuan to receive interest.
Wang Chengen looked at the "Pingliao Public Debt" note in his hand with the seal of "Bisheng Town and Fushi" and thought that it would be popular in any era. Did people like Li Zicheng really think about what to use to repay the "Pingliao Public Debt"? It is really hard to say. Li Zicheng is a bandit, and he ran away after eating. He has never had the concept of construction. If he doesn't build, how can he get money to pay off his debts without construction! Li Zicheng lost and ran away. This "Pingliao Public Debt" is a piece of waste paper. If the Ming Dynasty got it back, or a group of people might really cry and shout for reimbursement.
At this time, two servants helped one person out. The man's face was pale and his hands were covered with white cloth. Blood was oozing out of the white cloth. Wang Chengen recognized that this was the eunuch of the Dongchang seal. It seemed that this guy was suffering a lot from recovering the stolen money and helping the money. The accountant greeted Wang Zhixin and his group of people: "The 90,000 taels of donation from the king, the 60,000 taels of "Pingliamentary Liao Debt" and the 60,000 taels of interest for the year 3,600 taels, all of which are here, please come and receive it."
There was a big cart waiting at the door, and Wang Chengen hurried over to appease Wang Zhixin: "Eunuch Wang has suffered!"
Wang Zhixin opened his eyes and looked at Wang Chengen. Seeing that there was no damage except for the red mark on his neck, he immediately said angrily: "I heard that the prince is very favored by the great sushi Dynasty! Alas! He was so cruel to me! He chased me for 150,000 taels of silver I had worked hard to save! First, someone reported that I had owed 200,000 taels of silver, and then he served me with a stick. Oh! It hurts so much! He tried to persuade me to pay 150,000 taels, and then let me go. Oh!"
Li Zicheng has rich experience in recovering stolen money and assisting the money. According to the report, he made a list in advance, which people are rich and unkind, and who are levied heavily. If the report is reliable, there will be different rewards. For example, the eunuchs who are in charge of the seal of the Dongchang Eunuch, who use any means to make money, are listed as the key care of the Bisheng Town and Fufu Department.
Wang Chengen wanted to try the king's heart, so he said, "Eunuch Wang doesn't have to worry too much about the money. The interest per year is enough. Besides, the 60,000 taels of silver will have to pay you 7,500 taels every year. In 8 years, you will have to pay 80,000 taels of silver, and you will still be a rich man!"
Wang Zhixin grinned but couldn't figure it out: "What should I do if I can't figure it out! Public debts and public debts, there is still a thought. Who the hell came up with this unethical idea! What huge property is unknown! What is the "Pingliamentary Debt"? Is there such a forced donation and borrowing! It almost took my life. I was forced to pay the money, and I have to ask my Buddha's blessing every day, bless them not to collapse. Who should we look for if the collapse is over!"
Wang Chengen thought to himself that the interest on your public debt is equivalent to the income of 200 strong men who work hard for a year, so why are you complaining about! Your Wang Zhixin has won 150,000 taels of silver, which is at least 100 million yuan. You still have so many manors and shops. If these real estate properties in later generations are worth billions or billions or tens of billions, you are a eunuch and even billions or tens of billions of property, what is the pain of suffering? If the Tartars come, you will not be able to lose a single child!
Thinking of the housing prices in later generations, Wang Chengen said it was really unreasonable. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Fu Shangzhi, a resident of Zhengyangmen Street in Beijing, sold a house. A small courtyard, two southern houses, two northern houses, and one wing room, and the selling price was only 33 taels. The courtyard he bought himself was only 400 taels of silver, and the luxury house of a prince was only a few thousand taels of silver. The courtyard on Zhengyangmen Street was 100 million in later generations, that is to say, based on housing prices alone, the courtyard of the Ming Dynasty with 33 taels of silver was worth 100 million yuan in later generations, and one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 3 million yuan. Wow! The bubbles in later generations were really powerful. No wonder the government was not short of money, and it was selling the house at a higher price, so it was a big deal.
The money was put into his pocket, so he could spend 900 billion yuan by just treating guests to dinner a year. If Chongzhen, a child, had a group of Wenzhou real estate speculation groups, speculating on land and selling housing, he would probably not be short of money. Therefore, the ancient emperors suffered losses that were too real, and there were no civilized robbery methods such as financial and real estate in later generations. The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were all at the bottom. The emperor did not make much benefit, but officials colluded with evil gentry and were greedy, and the wealth was taken over by corrupt officials. If the bottom was paid 200% of the tax, the emperor would only get 60%, and 140% was lost in the middle. Therefore, the emperor always had to spend money on insufficient military salaries to save disasters, and these corrupt officials would spend their money in their lifetime.
Wang Chengen was really sad for Chongzhen. If Chongzhen had sent factory guards to fight corruption early, he would confiscate the criminals' wealth for the crime of unknown origin. The national treasury was sufficient, so nothing was difficult to deal with!
On the other hand, the Chongzhen book to Wu Sangui has been handed over to Song Xiance. The letters quoted a large number of classics from later generations, including Mr. Jiang’s speech on Lushan, Mr. Mao’s discussion on protracted war in "On Protracted War", and the incisive sentences of "Yugong Moves Mountains":
···If the war starts, it means that there is no distinction between the north and the south, no distinction between the years and the young. No matter who is, everyone has the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the war, and they should all be determined to sacrifice everything...
In short, the general idea is Wu Sangui. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was fighting against the Qing Dynasty and pacified Liao. Now Dashun inherited the Ming Dynasty and continued to pacify Liao. Although the Qing army now has the upper hand, now we have no distinction between north and south, age, age, and young, and the whole nation has the same resistance to the Qing Dynasty. Grandpa cannot defeat the Qing Dynasty, and there are sons, sons, and grandchildren cannot defeat the Qing Dynasty, and grandchildren will still be defeated. If you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you will be punished by the sinners for the ages. If you don’t say anything about the sinners of the ages, you will not have a good ending, and your descendants will not have a good ending. Think about it carefully, don’t be as infamous as Qin Hui for thousands of years.
