The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 83 Spectacular
Let's say that after Chang Feng attended the grand banquet, he filed out of the Qianqing Palace with the officials and nobles, and came outside the Fengtian Gate.

He did not ride home.Instead, they stayed and waited for Liu Xiaoyan and Tangtang.

Chang Lao Hou Ye came over: "Grandson, you have added honor to our Xing'an Hou family today!"

"Don't tell me about the jade jue bestowed by the emperor. Give it to Eunuch Huai'en to lead the horse and hold the whip."

Chang Feng said half-sarcastically, "Don't. I'm not even fit to enter the genealogy, so I dare not climb up the Xing'anhou family."

Chang Laohou had a bad nose and had no choice but to leave resentfully.

Not long after, Liu Xiaoyan and Tangtang finished the banquet from Kunning Palace and walked out.

Tangtang swung her two calves, and quickly rushed towards Changfeng.

Chang Feng picked her up and said, "My dear Tangtang, have you eaten a lot of good things from Eunuch Wynn this year? You've lost a lot of weight!"

Tangtang said, "I've gained five catties! I don't look like meat, I'm tall!"

Chang Feng kissed Tangtang, then turned around and asked Liu Xiaoyan, "How did you get here?"

Liu Xiaoyan pointed to a small sedan chair: "He came in a sedan chair."

Daming once had a strict sedan chair system.The Taizu stipulated that only officials of the third grade or above can ride in the sedan chair.

Officials from the fourth rank to the sixth rank can only ride horses when traveling.

As for the seventh-rank to ninth-rank officials, they can only travel by donkey or mule.

I'm sorry if the junior officials who have not entered the stream go out to do business, if they don't leave the city, they can only go on their legs.

The Ming Dynasty was established for more than 120 years, and the rules gradually broke down.First of all, senior officials who are not as high as the third grade can take a sedan chair.Later, the seventh-rank officials who evolved into adults can also take sedan chairs.

Up to now, wives of officials can also travel in small sedan chairs.

Chang Feng said: "Then you and Tangtang sit in the sedan chair. I will follow on horseback."

Tangtang acted like a baby: "I don't, I want to ride a big horse."

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Okay. Then you will ride with me."

Tangtang shook her head: "No. I want to ride my brother's big horse."

Chang Feng was helpless.I had to carry Tangtang on my back.Liu Xiaoyan asked the bearers to return home first.She led the horse, accompanied her husband and sister-in-law to the house.

The moonlight in late autumn gently shines on the whole family.

Chang Feng looked up at the moon.Although he didn't take on any major errands, he showed his face in front of the new emperor.

But now I am proud of myself in Jinyiwei, with the blue eyes of Emperor Hongzhi on the top, and the inner minister as my backer.

The wife and sister were also the guests of the harem master.

What is there not to be satisfied with?

Chang Feng is not a fortune teller.He definitely can't count, and he will take on a huge job in a short time.

That errand didn't break away from his line of work, and he ransacked his home.

It's just that the place to copy this time is a little bit special.It is not the mansion of any official, but the palace.

After returning home, Tangtang clamored to sleep with her new sister-in-law.

Chang Feng had no choice but to reluctantly give Liu Xiaoyan to Tangtang.I went to sleep on my side.

Early the next morning, he arrived at Dianmao of Jinyiwei as usual.

Sun Luan, the new governor of Beizhen, said with a smile: "Brothers, we have to let Chang Qianhu treat guests. He was rewarded by the emperor yesterday."

Fatty Xu booed: "The treat is not enough! I have to go to the Yihong Building anyway, and he will pay for it!"

Shi Wenyi smiled and said: "We Changqianhu are a bit of a slut. If we go to Yihonglou, I'm afraid we will make my sister-in-law punish me by topping the candlestick and kneeling on the stone slab."

The room was filled with joy and laughter.

Commander Zhu Ji suddenly walked into the duty room.

Such leaders have existed throughout history.As soon as he entered the office, the atmosphere in the entire office would become suffocating and depressing.

Zhu Ji belongs to this category.

Everyone quickly restrained their smiles.

Zhu Ji said: "Beizhen's Fushi is on duty at the house, which is an important place for confidentiality. What's the proper way to have a hippie smile?"

This time Jinyiwei changed its dynasty.Commanders and commanders are all replaced by honorable names, and they don’t care about their jobs.

The most powerful, the first is the commander, the second is the Beizhen Fushi, and the third is the Nanzhen Fushi.Further down is the Eight Great Thousand Households.

Zhu Ji ordered: "Others get out. Chang Feng stays."

Everyone left silently.

Zhu Ji asked, "Are the three brothers from the Wan family still honest in the mansion?"

Chang Feng replied: "Very honest. I almost washed my neck and waited to be beheaded."

Zhu Ji said: "Well, you will go to the Wanfu to pass the decree with Li Guang, the eunuch of the internal officer."

Chang Feng asked: "Should the three brothers of the Wan family be sent back to the imperial prison immediately after passing the decree?"

Zhu Ji shook his head slightly: "The emperor wants to forgive them. The decree says that they will only be sent back to their original places."

Chang Feng was a little angry: "What? That's too cheap for them!"

Zhu Ji said angrily: "This is an imperial decree, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Yes."

Zhu Ji said again: "The emperor still has an oral order. This oral order cannot be written in ink and paper. It is not in the imperial decree. It needs to be passed on by you. Come here."

Chang Feng stepped forward, and Zhu Ji whispered something to him.

Half an hour later, Wanfu.

The three elders of the Wan family hung three white silks on the beam of the eldest's study last night.

In order to escape the pain of Ling Chi, the three planned to hang themselves.

But they didn't have the courage to commit suicide.He looked up at the three dangling white silks eagerly, and passed the night.

Chang Feng followed Li Guang into the mansion to deliver the decree.The three brothers of the Wan family knelt down and listened to the order.

Li Guang said in a sharp voice: "There is a decree. Remove all official positions in Wantong, Wanxi, and Wanda. They will be sent back to their original places within three days. Hereby."

When Wantong heard the decree, he almost cried with joy.

Repatriation?Isn't it Lingchi?
God, earth!We three dying people came back to life!
The three brothers kowtowed and said "bang bang": "The grassroots lead the decree to thank you!"

Li Guang didn't bother to talk to the three of them.After the decree was announced, he left.

Chang Feng stayed behind: "Pass down the emperor's oral order. Wan Tong, when you were the commander of Jin Yiwei, there were many inmates who spent money to buy their lives, isn't it?"

Wantong was taken aback.There is no need to deny it now.He replied: "Respond to the emperor's words. Yes."

Chang Feng whispered to Wantong's ear: "The oral order has been delivered. There is no need to beat the drum with a heavy hammer. Wantong, you should know what to do, right?"

Wantong hurriedly said: "Understood. The three of us, the three of us, entered Beijing alone 23 years ago. Now we have to leave Beijing alone."

Chang Feng sat on the chair and crossed his legs: "You are my old boss. You should know what errands I specialize in."

"I advise you, don't expect to keep part of the gold and silver privately. Even if you don't hand it over, I have a way to copy it out."

Wantong cupped his hands: "Don't dare, dare not. I'll let the accountant write the property list, and let the servants carry gold and silver."

Two hours later, Chang Feng deeply understood the words "magnificent".

The servants carried boxes of gold and silver treasures to the front yard continuously.

Fatty Xu flipped through the property list, spit and sang loudly: "One box of gold cakes, totaling 820 taels; ten boxes of 20 taels of silver ingots, totaling 8000 taels; seven boxes of 50 taels of silver ingots, totaling 5000 taels; copper coins Six boxes of deposits, totaling 1 guan; sixty silver winter melons, totaling [-] taels"

"A total of 670 pieces of gold vessels; a total of 39 five pieces of pure silver vessels; 23 pieces of oriental pearls; [-] strings of pearl bracelets."

"Ten golden Buddhas; 480 top-quality tiger skins, white fox skins, and wolf skins; 68 pieces of ivory ornaments; 120 pieces of top-quality Song inkstones; 28 jade ruyi handles; [-] gold ruyi handles."

"Nine coral trees; 83 large gems; 90 yuan medium gems; 63 inferior gems."

"Fifteen boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings; 980 pieces of jewelry."

"There are 68 other house deeds; the total number of land deeds is 18 mu; [-] shi of pepper are stored in the warehouse of the user department; [-] shi of grain; [-] jin of somat wood"

Chang Feng's ledger general banner was busy making calculations.After two moments of effort, the total was calculated.

Chang Feng asked, "Approximately how much property does the Wan family have?"

The accounting officer said: "The gold and silver utensils are not weighed. They can only be estimated."

"The total net gold of Wanfu is about 600 taels; the total amount of cash silver is about 13 taels; the deposit certificate of copper coins is 7000 guan."

"Including the land deed, pepper, hematoxylin, and stored grain, these can be estimated. The total property of Wanfu is about 42 taels."

"Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, gemstones, corals, etc., the price cannot be estimated. We can only make another list."

Chang Feng took a breath: "42 taels?"

The fiscal and taxation of the Ming Dynasty was a combination of tax in kind and monetary income.

The major taxpayers in kind are rice, wheat, silk, silk, cotton, fodder, cloth, salt, and tea.

In terms of currency tax, all the currency revenue of the imperial court last year included about 55 taels of silver.

(Don’t spray the figure of 55 taels. Everything in this book related to the financial figures and prices of the Chenghua and Hongzhi years is based on the dry goods figures in historical books.)
The three brothers of the Wan family have been in power for 23 years, and the money they have amassed is more than [-]% of the imperial court's annual monetary income?
Chang Feng sighed in his heart: This is really a fall for Wanjia, Hongzhi is full!
　Regarding the total property of Wanjia, I made it up.But not making it up.After all, it has been 23 years when power has been in power.For reference, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, his subordinate Liu Zongmin copied the mansion of the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the silver taels copied out were as much as [-]% of the national silver inventory.Daming is actually a typical rich and poor country.
