Chapter 324 The house raid ends and the vocational college is acquired

Chongzhen held a piece of tripe in his hand and was about to boil it into the pot. Suddenly he paused with his chopsticks, looked at Zhu Yu'ao, then looked at Chen Ye, and smiled meaningfully.

"Shop owner, I'm not young anymore. I'm going to let her learn some business knowledge. In the future, there are some business affairs in Ming Dynasty that are not convenient for Cixi to manage, so she can be managed by her, such as women's federations or women's rights organizations. What do you think?

?”

"I think you put too much pressure on your children? My sister is only twelve years old. If you ask such a young child to study so much, it will destroy the child's childhood."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, Zhu Yurao's eyes darkened obviously, and she pouted and looked at her sister who was no longer allowed to eat spicy hot pot and could only eat desserts.

She is obviously a child, okay? She is already twelve years old. In Ming Dynasty, she can get married in two years.

The marriage management in the Ming Dynasty was still very strict. First of all, the age of fourteen was a hurdle. Lao Zhu stipulated that marriage was not allowed with fingertips, marriage was not allowed under the age, and marriage was not allowed without a matchmaker.

When Chongzhen heard Chen Ye's words, he was also very disdainful.

"Shopkeeper, the girls in your society can do child labor at the age of twelve, why can't the women of the Ming Dynasty do it? You see, the concubines are already over four and a half feet tall.

Besides, in the Ming Dynasty, I am already a girl waiting to leave the palace, so I just can’t bear to leave her, so I want to train her more and let her have the right to choose her own husband in the future."

"Since ancient times, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have no right to be chosen by themselves. The concubines have to rely on their fathers to make the final decision."

When Zhu Ya'ao heard Chongzhen's words, she quickly blushed, stood up and bowed to Chongzhen with her hands clasped together. Only then did Chen Ye realize that Zhu Ya'ao was growing very fast and was actually 1.5 meters tall.

"Okay, because you are so open-minded, I will give her some thought later on what course she should take.

If that doesn’t work, let him and Xiao Zhu take online classes and then bring them to my place to study for a few months to gain more knowledge.”

"This is the best, this is the best, then that's it, Auntie, do you have any opinion?"

"A daughter is completely dependent on her father."

Zhu Yasuo said with a red face. Chen Ye always felt something was wrong when he heard this. However, with Chen Ye's emotional intelligence, it was normal that he didn't react.

Cai Wei, Cai Die, Ju Tian Hezi could see it, but facing the always vacant head lady, the backgrounds of the three of them made them understand that it was impossible for them to rise to the top.

So I ate the food silently and served Chen Ye honestly.

"As for Ci Xing, he doesn't need to go. He has a very heavy coursework and still has a lot to study, so he doesn't have time."

Zhu Cixiang, who was on the side, was reaching out to fish for shrimps. Suddenly, he stopped with his chopsticks and looked at Chongzhen with a confused expression. Chongzhen glared at him and quickly looked away.

After dinner, Chen Ye routinely gave small gifts to Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yurao, and Zhu Yuli, which were a model general, a model princess, and a model puppy.

After letting the three of them do their own research, Chen Ye and Chongzhen hurried back to Qianqing Palace in the dark of night, because the preliminary results of the house confiscation had also come back at this time, and Chongzhen had to count the money.

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Banghua was waiting at attention in the palace with several lists automatically printed by telegrams. When he heard footsteps and found Chongzhen and his two men coming in, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Now, he is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of War who only knew clerical matters, but an all-powerful army commander.

"See Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, the Xuanfu Regiment Headquarters, the Datong Regiment Headquarters, and the Taiyuan Regiment Headquarters jointly sent congratulatory messages. The raids on the homes of Shanxi merchants are progressing very smoothly.

At present, General Sun has arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture in person to take charge, and at the same time, the Royal Army of the three prefectures has conducted a rough inventory of the Shanxi merchants' stolen property in Xuanfu, Datong."

"Well, what's the progress in Taiyuan?"

Chongzhen noticed that Li Banghua did not say that there was some confusion about the progress of the inspection in Taiyuan. Could it be that there was an accident in the progress of the Royal Army in Taiyuan?

"Back to Your Majesty, as of six o'clock in the afternoon, the work of the Taiyuan action teams was going smoothly. However, they have a lot of property and are involved in many disputes. They are too deeply involved with various classes in Shanxi. They are currently investigating and handling the disputes.

However, King Shen and the family members of King Dai were very dissatisfied with our actions. They occupied twelve hectares of civilian land in Taiyuan Prefecture and ten hectares of military land in Datong Prefecture respectively, and they were unwilling to return it."

When Chongzhen heard this, after finishing the hot pot, the heat of the chili peppers rose instantly. The people he sent to inform them were still on the way. This thief actually dared to go against him.

"Looking for death! Send a telegram to Sun Aiqing and send two battalions that have completed their operations to arrest King Shen and King Dai and escort them back to Beijing.

I was wondering if the two of them had become so bold that I really thought I didn’t know the bad things they had done.”

"yes!"

"Well, let's continue with the search results of the three houses."

"Your Majesty, the people inspected by Datong, Xuanfu and Taiyuan include Shanxi merchants with various household registrations, officials, generals of the guards, two county princes, and generals at all levels of the clan.

A total of 297 households and 2,744 people were involved, including 322 people over the age of 65.

There are 218 people under the age of fourteen, and there are 62 untitled princesses and generals.

A total of more than 3,273,000 taels of silver, approximately 602,000 taels of copper coins, and approximately 21,100 taels of gold ingots were confiscated.

The three prefectures have a total of 120,000 acres of rough land, 60,000 acres of shaded land, worth 1.7 million taels, and 621 houses and courtyards with land deeds worth 220,000 taels.

They hoarded countless goods, spices, treasures, household property and furniture, gold and silverware, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, with a total value of 14.27 million taels, and confiscated a total of 190,000 shi of grain, worth 190,000 taels.

During this inspection, a total of approximately 4 million taels of stolen money in cash were recovered, and the total value of goods, fields, and buildings was approximately 16 million taels. This amount may vary by approximately one million taels, and a detailed investigation is ongoing.”

When Chongzhen heard this quotation, everyone went crazy with joy. He could get so much money just by copying it. He was so happy that he went crazy.

"Okay, you all did a great job. Let me inform you that each member of the Royal Army who participated in this operation will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. Officers above the platoon leader will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the regimental commander alone will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

Those who stay in the capital will receive an additional two taels of subsidy next month. I will announce this news to everyone through the radio tomorrow morning, so that brothers can celebrate."

"Yes! On behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank Your Majesty for the reward. The Royal Army will always be loyal to Your Majesty and will always be His Majesty's sharp sword!"

Chongzhen was no longer stingy. Twenty million taels was enough. Thinking about this number, he felt like he was going to heaven, so he was not stingy with the reward. Anyway, it was only less than one million taels more.

And Li Banghua was also happy. As long as Chongzhen could give money, the army would be better managed, and he could make them do better, get more credit, and be promoted to a bigger official.

In short, a virtuous cycle is developing, and the next time the Royal Army raids a home, the spirit will be even higher.

Chen Ye was not surprised when he heard the figures reported by Li Ruolian. In other words, the assets of 20 million taels were the wealth of nearly one-third of the rich people in Shanxi.

After Li Banghua left, Chongzhen finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! Shopkeeper, 20 million taels. Even if you buy it with silver in the future, it will cost 3 billion."

"Are you so happy? The current silver is only more than three million taels."

"Shopkeeper, although they only have more than three million taels, are they really three million taels?

How much do you think those goods, with an estimated value of 14 million taels, would be worth in your place?

If I don't say anything else, the 190,000 shi of grain, which is equivalent to the 180,000 tons of grain that your association had, only estimated 190,000 taels of silver.

And 190,000 taels of silver only costs 30 million yuan, but 18,000 tons of grain will cost you at least more than 40 million yuan, right?

The rest are gold, silverware, and precious medicinal materials. Even a hundred-year-old ginseng is only a thousand taels of silver, less than two hundred thousand. But a hundred-year-old ginseng, in your day, could you buy it for one million?"

Chen Ye was shocked, not by the money, but by Chongzhen's arithmetic. Is his financial brain so strong?

"You're a person who gets two out of two, how do you do this quick conversion?"

"Shop owner, do you think I'm stupid? It's a conversion problem that even a child can understand."

Chongzhen rolled his eyes at Chen Ye and continued to have fun. Chen Ye instantly realized that no one in this world is really stupid. Fortunately, the original deal with Chongzhen was to support him.

"Okay, keep having fun, I'm going back. The rocket has been officially prepared over there, and it is expected to be launched almost tomorrow night. Please pay attention to asking the prince to power on the backup satellite command center.

As well as preparing for the docking of satellites in the past two days, Ming Dynasty is about to enter the era of global village. The distance in space is no longer the biggest obstacle to the development of the dynasty. Your voice will reach all corners of the world."

"I'm really looking forward to that day. Shopkeeper, please go ahead and do your work. When I make arrangements in the past two days, I will give you a detailed list of Shanxi merchants' homes. You can collect all the items that can be sold."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Chen Ye nodded and disappeared into the hall, returning to his real home.

"Hey, Lao He, I'm back."

"Okay, Brother Chen, you can go directly to the airport tomorrow. The private plane has been prepared for you."

"It should be a little later. I have to deal with the company's affairs tomorrow. Also, I need to get the livestock and specialties from both sides back."

Chen Ye's words made He Tao on the opposite side immediately write down the key livestock and special products in his notebook.

"Then you go to Special Warehouse No. 2 first. I'll dispatch a team for customs clearance and quarantine, as well as biologists."

"Okay, then I'll go down there tomorrow, Xichang, right?"

"That's right, don't worry about the road, you're not flying the plane."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ye looked at the display window. The samples were all frozen in the display window, frozen in time and space. This state made Chen Ye feel shuddering.

Early the next morning, Chen Ye simply packed up his clothes after getting up and changed the Hanfu into ordinary casual clothes so as not to be too conspicuous.

After having breakfast, we rushed to a special warehouse in the port area. The back door of this warehouse was the dock, and in front of him was a temporary customs inspection station.

The customs inspection station is composed of several prefabricated houses, which houses epidemic prevention stations, information collection, virus detection and other departments. Normally, only the information collection department is working. Today, because Chen Ye needed it, all employees were on duty.

After arriving at the warehouse, Chen Ye closed the door of the warehouse area, and then continued to ride his bicycle close to the warehouse at the dock. After confirming that no one was there, he began to release the large iron cages. After placing the iron cages, he began to release the iron cages brought from the Ming Dynasty.

of samples.

Free-range roosters, goats, cattle, wild deer, and all kinds of animals were all put into cages, and it instantly became a zoo scene.

Some of these animals were brought from the Three Kingdoms period, and some were brought from the Ming Dynasty. In terms of biological characteristics, they are mainly lean. After all, there was not so much feed in the past and all of them were obese.

In addition to animals, there are also medicinal materials, ancient spices, and pure ancient artificially grown rice, wheat, first-generation sweet potatoes, and potatoes packed in various small boxes. These agricultural products are all freshly picked.

In terms of yield, they are definitely not as good as improved varieties, and even the taste is not as good as modern ones, but the genetic information on them is very precious, and Chen Ye has not yet developed bananas.

After finishing the work and confirming that the status of all animals was OK, Chen Ye left the warehouse and took out his mobile phone to call the cattle and horse employees.

"Hey, I'm at the company's No. 2 customs clearance channel. The company's original ecological products have been unloaded and landed. You will have someone from our company contact the customs later to see when it is appropriate to come."
