Qian Huang's manor in Fengqiu is not large, covering an area of only two hundred acres, but it has excellent feng shui. It is surrounded by low hills and looks like a bowl, with a small river running through it like a jade belt in the middle.
The royal manor of the Song Dynasty was originally called Jubai Garden, but now it was renamed Sericulture Garden.
Currently, only Qian Huang's son's family and a few servants live in the manor.
Before dawn, Tang Qian led a thousand cavalry to the sericulture garden. The soldiers rushed into the manor and imprisoned Qian Huang's son, his family, and several servants.
The coachman Lao Ding took Tang Qian to a lonely wooden house, pointed at the wooden house and said: "Last time I saw, the master sent dozens of boxes into the wooden house, and then I don't know, every time I send him
When I came here, he sent me to Pan Town."
Tang Qian waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed in. The wooden house was not large, more than forty square meters at most, and was filled with old furniture and other debris. The soldiers cleared out the debris and soon found a piece of debris underneath.
Open the stone slab, and there is a cellar underneath.
"Found it!" the soldiers cheered.
Tang Qian's brows gradually furrowed as one after another large wooden boxes were brought out. There were forty large boxes in total, all of which were full of copper coins. A box of hundreds of coins was only four thousand coins. This was treating others like monkeys.
Oh! It’s simply the nature of a miser.
Tang Qian then ordered: "Bring Qian Hou, his wife and children!"
Not long after, a thin man came with his wife and children. Qian Huang's son was called Qian Hou, but he didn't look thick at all. He was very thin. From the back, he looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, even older than Qian Hou.
His wife is shorter.
Qian Hou's family of three were frightened by these ferocious soldiers and they all crowded together. Qian Hou held his son tightly in his arms.
Tang Qian stepped forward and said to the three of them: "We are all here. I believe you know why we are here. I will give you a chance to reveal the entrance to the buried money. My Highness promises to leave you a house and two shops. Again.
It’s not bad to leave more than a hundred acres of land and be a small landowner for the rest of your life.”
After a pause, Tang Qian's tone suddenly became very ferocious, "If you still refuse to tell me, I will cut off your son's ears first, and if you don't tell me, I will gouge out his eyes, then your wife, and finally I will take turns.
When it comes to you and castrating you, I won’t believe you if you don’t tell me. You only have this chance, and I don’t have the patience to wait any longer. I will count three now, one or two.”
Tang Qian raised his hand and was about to give an order when Qian Hou's wife suddenly said: "It's in the left wing of the back hall. Move the bed and you'll see it!"
"You" Qian Hou glared at his wife.
His wife pulled her son over, hugged the child tightly and said, "You are afraid that you will not be able to explain to your father. Don't you care about your son's life or death?"
Qian Hou was not as stingy as his father, he was just afraid that he would not be able to explain to his father. He looked at his only son, suddenly sighed, took a key from his waist and handed it to Tang Qian, "What my wife said
That's right, there are no mechanisms inside, but there is a very thick iron door. This is the key. I just hope you will keep your word!"
"If you haven't concealed anything, there will definitely be no problem. This is not what I said, but His Highness King Yong's order. He sticks to his word."
"My wife's jewelry is too thin to count!"
"Personal belongings within the normal range can be taken away."
Tang Qian waved his hand and rushed to the left wing of the back hall with his soldiers.
This time, Qian Hou did not disappoint Tang Qian. They discovered a huge underground space and dug out more than 2,400 large boxes containing gold, silver, copper coins, jades, bronzes, and various silks and satins.
number.
Looking at the piles of boxes, Tang Qian finally understood why it was called Qian Sanhuang. If these boxes were shaken, they would really crush someone to death.
"General, look at this!"
The soldiers handed over the two thick inventories they found to Tang Qian. Tang Qian couldn't help but be startled. One of the inventories was written as an inventory of the Qian family's wealth, and the other was written as an inventory of the Qian Liu family's wealth.
"Bring me the money!"
Not long after, Qian Hou was brought up. At this time, he was already very calm, and the mountains of large boxes in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"General, what do you want from me?"
"Let me ask you, what's going on with these two inventories?" Tang Qian asked, holding up the inventory.
"The Qian family's inventory is my father's wealth. The other one was given to us by my sister for safekeeping. At first I thought it was her wealth. Later, my father told me that it was actually Liu Yu's wealth. It was half a year before Liu Yu's collapse.
, he entrusted my father to keep five hundred large boxes for him, and another hundred boxes were my sister's personal property, so the Qian Liu family had a total of six hundred boxes."
"What's the sign?"
"There's just black paint on the box."
Tang Qian nodded, "Tell me everything you know!"
Qian Hou sighed and said: "I actually don't know much. My father told me that the wealth Liu Yu used to transport northward in more than 300 carts was basically copper coins and cloth. It was a cover-up for the Jin soldiers.
His real wealth is actually with us. He sent 3,000 soldiers to dig the underground palace in the manor, and later sent 500 close soldiers to transport the wealth by ship. I heard that these soldiers were all dead, and my father still
Every day I hope that Liu Yu will die in the north, but in the end, his efforts are in vain."
Tang Qian thought for a while and asked: "Do other high-ranking officials of the Pseudo Qi still have wealth?"
"Of course there is. If you are a high-ranking official in the Puppet Qi, no matter how hard you plunder, you will be extremely rich!"
"Does your father know?"
Qian Hou hesitated and said: "He knows that he is most interested in this kind of thing. General, if I convince my father to report and expose, can I keep more?"
Tang Qian nodded, "If your father has made great contributions, His Highness King Yong will consider it as appropriate."
"Well, I will go back to Bianliang now to persuade him!"
Tang Qian immediately sent someone to escort Qian Hou and his family back to Bianliang in a carriage. At the same time, he sent someone to inform His Highness King Yong that he would need hundreds of ships to transport the wealth back to Bianliang.
Tang Qian wrote another text message to King Yong Chen Qing, reporting their harvest. In Fengqiu's manor, there was not only money and wealth, but also part of Liu Yu's wealth, which were all high-value gold and silver jewelry. Tang Qian
A rough estimate shows that Liu Yu's wealth alone is over 20 million yuan.
On the second day after the Song Army captured Bianliang, Bianliang City began to gain some vitality. Many shops were opened, including grocery stores, snack shops, food stalls, medicine shops, restaurants, teahouses, inns, brothels, etc. Dulu
They opened one after another.
Of course there are customers, among whom soldiers are the main consumers. Two hundred thousand troops take turns to take vacations, and tens of thousands of soldiers go shopping every day. Their spending power is strong, especially restaurants and brothels, which do the best business.
Chen Qing also began to implement the first step of Bianliang's business recovery plan. He took out a large amount of materials from the captured loot and sold them at low prices to shops and restaurants in Bianliang. The most popular among them was wine and meat. The first batch gave out 50,000 yuan.
Only frozen mutton and 200,000 jars of wine are sold to restaurants in Bianliang, as well as tea cakes, rice noodles, soybean oil, honeycomb briquettes, etc., which are all raw materials needed by restaurants and teahouses.
At the same time, farmers outside the city began to sell vegetables in the city. They had meat, rice, noodles, vegetables, fuel and other supplies. More importantly, the curfew was cancelled, and all business taxes were exempted, which gave merchants great confidence. From the afternoon
Since then, more and more restaurants have resumed business.
In addition, Changping stores have also appeared, selling coarse grains, coarse salt, and coarse cloth at very cheap prices. Twenty Changping stores have appeared in the city, and there are long queues in front of each Changping store. There is no point in hoarding these three coarse products.
Especially for limited purchases, people at the lowest level are basically queuing up.
The government also set up a stall to help collect wheat before the exchange started. The reward was originally three liters of wheat per day, but Chen Qing changed it to fifty cents per day. This is a great thing, fifty cents.
You can buy a bucket of coarse grains and a pound of coarse salt at the Changping store. This news immediately made the whole city rejoice. Almost 30% of the families went to participate in the wheat harvest, and a small paper ticket was issued every day with the official seal on it.
There was a queue of three miles long in front of the government office. The crowd was surging. More than a dozen civil servants were busy collecting tickets and distributing money. Behind them stood two officials in official uniforms. One was Li Ji, the general magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the other
One is Fuhong, the newly appointed magistrate of Bianliang County today. Fuhong works calmly and is answering people's questions in an orderly manner.
