Chapter 70: Confiscating the house
"What's wrong? Wouldn't it be better to go back to the capital?"
Zhao Heng thought for a long time and still looked at Zhao Gang in confusion.
Zhao Gang glared at Zhao Heng angrily, waving his hands and counting: "You said that we used to give daddy coupons, but when did dad agree so quickly? When did he not reprimand us in the coupons to be honest and do a good job as a vassal?
The king's duty is to govern the people in the fiefdom and provide benefits to the people.
But now?
We didn’t say anything, but dad himself wanted us to come back?
Why do you think this is?"
"Dad, he misses us."
Zhao Heng said subconsciously.
Zhao Gang rolled his eyes: "Miss you? Or do you miss me? You don't even think about it, are your three melons and two dates worthy of our father's concern?"
"Hmm~~~That's what you said."
Listening to Zhao Gang's words, Zhao Heng's brows also completely wrinkled. He looked at the still heavily guarded Yangxin Hall in the distance, and then thought about what Zhao Chongyuan had done in the past few days, especially the direct sending of people to kill Zhou.
Li, Chen, and Sun's four families, including their two sons, sent people to warn them secretly.
Suddenly, I seemed to understand a lot.
Looking at Zhao Gang, he said: "Second brother, we are completely finished by dad this time."
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Gang looked at Zhao Heng with narrowed eyes.
Although he felt something was wrong, he didn't know exactly what was wrong. He just felt that Zhao Chongyuan was abnormal.
Zhao Heng said with a gloomy face: "Dad, you think we are getting in the way in Qingzhou and Yizhou, so you deliberately staged this show for us. When we return to Beijing, the forces that are attached to our sect will naturally have nothing to rely on, especially
It’s my father who now owns the Zhou family, the Li family, the Sun family and the Chen family, the four major families.
When the time comes, those aristocratic families who are attached to our sect will not be allowed to be dealt with in whatever way dad wants to deal with them?"
"Hiss~~~~~"
Zhao Gang took a breath of cold air.
Why didn't he think of this?
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang felt nervous again and looked at Zhao Heng hurriedly: "Second brother, you mean that the power we have accumulated in Qingzhou and Yizhou over the years is going to..."
As he said that, Zhao Gang was a little scared and made a wiping gesture on his neck.
"Huh~~~~"
Zhao Heng took a long breath.
He grinned, looked at Zhao Gang as if he were looking at a fool, and then strode outside the palace.
Now that Zhao Chongyuan said he would let them come back.
If you don't come back, you are rebelling.
That's a mind-boggling thing.
From this time, Zhao Chongyuan's manpower to clean up the Zhao family, Li family, Sun family, and Chen family were all drawn from the capital, instead of letting the two vassal kings take action. A lot of things can be seen. If they continue to resist at this moment
purpose.
Maybe their vassal status will come to an end.
It is impossible to resist the decree now.
The only thing they can do is to let the forces attached to their sect clamp their tails between their legs and behave themselves. This is what they have to do.
Watching Zhao Heng leave.
Zhao Gang also had a cold look in his eyes.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he understands.
But I have to say that I am still taller!
First, they were fooled by a bitter drama, and then they were offered a temptation they couldn't refuse, asking them to return to Beijing. But in the end, they just thought they were getting in the way of Qingzhou and Yizhou.
What a great plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
But the problem is that they have to eat the bones that are thrown out now, even if they don't want to eat them, and they have to eat them even if they can't eat them.
Otherwise, I will not show mercy to them!
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang could only walk outside the palace.
And just after the two left.
Zhao Chongyuan's figure appeared again at the gate of Yangxin Hall.
Looking at the backs of the two of them.
I don't know what I'm thinking in my eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the statistical results are out."
Not long after Zhao Chongyuan lay on the dragon couch.
Wang Lishi ran over in a hurry.
"How many!"
Upon hearing Wang Lishi's words, Zhao Chongyuan immediately sat up from the dragon couch and looked at Wang Lishi eagerly.
Wang Lishi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the total profit from the sales of the things we brought from His Highness King Yan this time is 2.2 million taels."
In fact, it's not that much based on the original price.
But later, seeing that there were too many people snatching it, Wang Lishi followed the trend and raised the price under Zhao Chongyuan's instruction.
With this mention, profits will naturally increase by a small amount.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Wang Lishi said three words in a row.
At present, the treasury is empty. With these two million taels of silver, it can be said that it has completely brought back a wave of blood to the treasury.
However, when Zhao Chongyuan thought that these things could be sold out so quickly, he still felt angry and itchy in his heart.
This group of princes and nobles all cry out every day that they have no money.
But when it comes time for them to buy these things, they are quite willing to do so!
"What else?"
After listening to Wang Lishi's report, Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi again and asked.
Looking at Zhao Chongyuan's eyes, Wang Lishi naturally understood, and quickly and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, the four families of Zhou, Li, Chen, and Sun were copied this time. The total amount of money copied was one thousand two hundred and seventy-eight."
Thirty-six hundred and forty-two taels of silver. This is excluding the antique calligraphy and painting. If the antique calligraphy and painting are included, it will be about 20 million taels of silver."
"More, more, more, more?"
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Chongyuan was stunned.
Twenty million taels of silver, how much tax does it cost to work for a year?
"Your Majesty, it is indeed about twenty million taels of silver."
Wang Lishi said with a wry smile.
He didn't believe it at first, but later when he saw the head of the accounts department personally bringing up the account books, he finally believed it completely.
As he spoke, he took out a ledger from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chongyuan respectfully.
After opening it a little, Zhao Chongyuan was immediately furious: "Damn it, they are all a bunch of moths!"
The four families of Zhou, Sun, Chen, and Li have been established in Daqian for many years, and they have minions both in Daqian and Nanchen.
The time of starting a family was long before Daqian.
It can be said that the tree is big and has deep roots.
If it weren't for this time, Zhao Ding killed Wen Liang, causing Yuan Jia to take action against Wen Ziheng, thus causing civil strife in Nanchen.
He will not find an opportunity to uproot these four families.
Now, in the blink of an eye, almost a year's worth of tax money was taken out.
This point really surprised him, Zhao Chongyuan.
"Seal this money in the treasury and no one can touch it. The rainy season is coming soon, and I don't know how many people will be displaced."
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyuan sighed again.
Floods occur every year.
Almost every rainy season, dams are about to burst.
Before, he was worried about getting the money to suppress the disaster this year, but now he finally doesn't have to worry about it.
