Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 102 The King of Shu is richer than all kings! [Eighth change, asking for a monthly ticket]

"Immediately control all personnel, all accounts, and all treasuries in the Shu Palace!"

When Auntie Zhu rode into the palace of Shu Palace, Li Yan said this to a kind of subordinate behind him.

He has been in charge of the logistics, documents and other matters of the Red Lady Department for a long time. He brought his family into the Red Lady Department at the beginning. Over the past few years, he has trained a group of experts who are good at handling logistics accounts.

Therefore, on the way, he had already instructed these subordinates that once they entered the Shu Palace, the soldiers would cooperate with them to control the wealth of the Shu Palace immediately.

The wealth of the Shu Palace, except gold and silver treasures, is not necessarily in the Shu Palace, but mostly in various Wangzhuang.

In order to obtain the money, food and other materials of these Wangzhuang, mastering the relevant accounts and controlling the relevant personnel became the key.

On the way from Qi County to Chengdu, Zhu Wei and others estimated the property of the Shu Palace based on some information Hao Guangming found there.

During the Hongwu period, when Zhu Chun, the first king of Shu, was established in Chengdu, there were more than 300 Wangzhuang attached to it.

In addition, the Ming court also set an annual tribute for the king of Shu: 5 stone grains, 2.5 guan banknotes, silk, salt, tea and other miscellaneous items.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the salaries of the vassal kings and clans had become the financial burden of the Ming Dynasty, so the annual tribute to the vassal kings was reduced to 1 shi.

But even so, the total salary for the clan of the King of Shu at that time was still as high as 30 to [-] shiliang.

Note that this is only the salary given by the court to the Shu Palace, not the income of the Shu Palace.

In fact, the salary given by the imperial court is not worth mentioning compared to the annual income of the Shu Palace.

How rich is the king of Shu?
During the Jiajing Dynasty, Yan Shifan once made a list of the richest men in the Ming Dynasty, and the top of the list was Zhu Rangxu, the contemporary king of Shu.

"Of all the palaces in the world, Shu is the richest."

"The wealth of Shu Mansion is the best in the world."

"Shu Fan is richer than all the kings, and the tax bank of a province is borrowed for the Shu Mansion, which is not inferior to the reserves of the world."

"Shu Fan owns a lot of money and is named for the world."

Similar written records describing the wealth of the Shu Palace appear in various historical materials.

In addition, some people have calculated that during the Wanli period, the common people accounted for only [-]% of the fertile land in Chengdu Mansion, the army accounted for [-]%, and the Shu Palace exclusively occupied [-]%!

The Shu Palace mostly relied on people's donations and sales to obtain land.

During the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, there were more natural disasters in Sichuan than in previous years, and taxes such as Liao's payment were added. People would sell their land and donate more. Therefore, the Shu Palace occupied more land in Chengdu.

Therefore, before coming to Chengdu, according to the estimates of Hao Guangming and Zhu Wei, the Wang Zhuang of the Shu Palace must be thousands of.

As for the total amount of food, it is difficult to estimate.

Thinking about it, even if it is calculated based on [-]% of the total income of money and food for the year in Chengdu, it is still not gone.

It's only for one year.

The Shu Palace has been passed down steadily for more than 260 years!

Li Zicheng only robbed one Fu Wang, and he was immediately rich in money and food.

But even if King Fu, who has only been handed down for one generation, has the great love of Emperor Wanli, what is his wealth compared to that of the King of Shu?
Nouveau riche.

Having said that, the gold and silver treasures of the Shu Palace are mostly hidden in the Palace.

But most of the food and other materials are in the Wangzhuang below.

Therefore, if you want to obtain food and other materials from the Shu Palace, you must not only control the accounts and warehouses of the Shu Palace, but also control many people in charge.

Otherwise, the many industries of the Shu Palace and the harvest in recent years may be cheaper than the stewards and heads of the palace below.

···
Aunt Zhu rode past the marble gate archway engraved with the three characters of "Shu Wangfu" on the lacquer, and further ahead was the south gate of Shu Wangfu, the Lingxing Gate.

Shu Palace is a palace city with double high walls, the outside is the Xiao Wall, and the inside is the palace wall.

Lingxing Gate is the south gate tower of Xiaoqiang, which has a certain defensive function.

But at this time, the Lingxing Gate was wide open, and Zhu Zhishu, the contemporary king of Shu, and his son were all held hostage by Hong Niangzi's subordinates. No matter how brave or not, the guards of the palace above and below the Lingxing Gate could only watch Zhu Aimee ride his horse through. .

There are five door openings in Lingxing Gate.

In the middle is the main gate with one big and two small ones, which will only be opened to welcome distinguished guests, and there are two passing gates to the two sides.

The east and west gates are connected with a wide corridor that goes straight to the palace wall. Walking in it will neither be rained nor exposed to the sun.

Between the two corridors is a wide stone road that can accommodate ten carriages in parallel.

Aimee Zhu quickly ran across this section of road with a hundred riders, crossed the moat-like imperial ditch, and came to the second south gate of Miyagi.

This gate is called Duanli Gate, and it is also a city gate, and its defense system is stronger than that of Lingxing Gate, but there are only a small team of guards on both sides of the gate.

Seeing the hundred and ten riders rushing towards them, the two small groups of guards immediately dispersed in a hurry, and no one even closed the city gate.

So Aimee Zhu was able to enter the real palace city of Shu Palace smoothly.

As far as the eye can see, the palaces and pavilions are row upon row, resplendent and resplendent.

Aimee Zhu subconsciously reined in her horse and was in a trance for a while.

She thought of the Forbidden City.

···
Hao Guangming has also been watching the Shu Palace, which only remains in ruins, through the mobile phone camera on Aimee Zhu's chest.

In later generations, the Shu Palace was also known as the "Little Forbidden City".

But in fact, the Shu Palace was built in imitation of the shrinking regulations of the Forbidden City in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, and it was built before the Forbidden City in Beijing.

According to relevant information, its outer wall, that is, the Xiao wall, has a circumference of 8.2 miles and is known as nine miles.

The inner wall, that is, the palace wall, has a circumference of 5.4 miles.

Miyagi, which is covered by the inner wall alone, covers an area of ​​38 hectares!

Therefore, there is a reason why the King of Shu is known as the richest vassal king in Ming Dynasty - the mansion of King Shu is the richest mansion in Daming!

When Auntie Zhu came back to her senses and continued to walk in with a hundred riders, other buildings of the Shu Palace gradually appeared in front of Hao Guangming.

On the north-south central axis of the Wangfu, after the Duanli Gate is the Chengyun Gate.

Behind the Chengyun Gate are the three main halls of the palace, namely the Chengyun Hall, the Yuan Hall, and the Cunxin Hall.

Going north from the Cunxin Hall, and passing through a forbidden gate in the palace, you will arrive at the harem of the King of Shu.

In the middle are two spacious bedroom halls.

There are nine palaces on the left and right, namely the East Sixth Palace and West Sixth Palace where the princess is housed, and the East Three Palaces and West Three Palaces where the heirs of the vassal princes are housed.

After passing the north gate of the palace wall, and then going north, you will find the north gate of Xiaoqiang——Guangzhi Gate.

As for the east and west walls, the gates were naturally opened, and they were called Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate respectively.

In addition, there are other buildings such as Shizi Mansion, Guangbei Library, Jishan Institute, Liangyi Institute, Flattery Department, and Code Department...

When Auntie Zhu rode around the Shu Palace roughly, and then returned to Chengyun Hall to sit down and rest, it was already half an hour later.

Auntie Zhu sat down and took a sip of the water she brought with her. After a short rest, Li Yan brought Fang Zhenghua and Liu Xiaolian over.

After several people saluted, Li Yan said: "We have already controlled the relevant personnel, accounts, and warehouses of the Shu Palace, but the statistics may still take a lot of time."

"I understand." Aunt Zhu nodded.

The king of Shu is so rich, his wealth must not be counted clearly in a short while.

Li Yan said again: "I came here this time to ask Your Highness to send cronies to be in charge of statistics and in charge of the money, food and other materials of the Shu Palace."

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "Isn't Mr. Li just my confidant?"

Li Yan said sternly: "Your majesty's confidant is indeed, but since you are in charge of the military's money, rations, documents and other affairs, you should no longer be in charge of the money and rations related to the entire Chengdu."

Auntie Zhu frowned when she heard this.

At this time, Hao Guangming said from the other side: "Li Yan is right, it is good for everyone to divide the financial rights as soon as possible."

So Auntie Zhu thought about it for a while, then looked at Liu Xiaolian, and said, "In this case, let Liu Xiaolian assist Mr. Li in counting the money and grain of the Shu Palace.

After statistics, it was divided into two parts, internal and external. The internal part was temporarily in charge of Fei Zhen'e, and the external part was in charge of Liu Xiaolian. "

When Fang Zhenghua and Liu Xiaolian were called by Li Yan, they mentioned the matter of dividing the property rights, so they were psychologically prepared.

Especially Liu Xiaolian.

Those people left by Chongzhen to Aimee Zhu have jobs to do now, but he doesn't have one. Even though he is better at nourishing his energy, he feels a little impatient to wait.

Hearing Aimee Zhu's words, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked: "May I ask your Highness, in what name should the Caomin be in charge of this part of money and food?"

He is an important official, but also for the sake of justice.

Auntie Zhu pondered for a while and said, "This palace is planning to set up the Jian Guo Fu, so you can take charge of the Jian Guo Fu, you are the Seventh Rank."

As she said that, Auntie Zhu looked at Fei Zhen'e again, and said, "Sister Zhen'e should be the Secretary of the Palace next to me."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"
