Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 311 Getting Rich
During the day, Wang Yan accompanied He Tengjiao and others, successively handed over the silver depot, grain depot, weapon depot, and every yamen, and handed over everything in Wuchang Mansion to He Tengjiao's hands.

This greatly changed He Tengjiao's feelings towards Wang Yan. The group walked around the city for a day, but they were all in a very happy mood and did not feel tired at all.

That night, Wang Yan lived in the home of governor He Mingluan. Although the thief had been killed, Wang Yan did not let his family members go, but asked the soldiers to lock them up.

At this time, in the courtyard, several soldiers were filling up a large pit, and then laying a layer of stone slabs, so that people could not easily see the traces of excavation.

Dai Zhifan and others entered the courtyard, took a look at the busy soldiers, walked past them, and went to meet Wang Yan inside.

The faces of several people were full of joy, Wang Yan put down the scroll in his hand when he saw this, and asked with a smile: "Generals, how is the harvest?"

Dai Zhifan first said: "It's a pity that the Duke doesn't want the treasury of Wuchang, but now it seems that the Duke Yinming, those high-ranking officials who are pure dogs, are all filthy rich. Only then did he accumulate a huge amount of wealth! The final general was ordered to search Tulai's mansion, and found 50 taels of silver alone, and there were two large boxes of other gold and jewelry. I don't know how many people this dog thief has robbed and blackmailed how many gentry! "

Wang Yan was also shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, "This thief is really greedy! Back then, the governor was trapped in Nanjing. In order to arrest the governor and attack Jinyiwei's forces, this thief allowed his subordinates to blackmail Nanjing. Common people, in just a few days, this thief has earned millions of dollars just by accepting filial piety from his subordinates. This governor understands the greedy nature of Qinggou, so he dared to give up the treasury of Wuchang to He Tengjiao!"

"The Duke is wise~" Dai Zhifan said with a smile, "He Tengjiao thought he took advantage, haha~"

Wang Yan also chuckled, then looked at the others and said, "How did you gain?"

Liu Fangliang immediately clasped his fists and said, "At the end of the day, 30 taels of silver and 1 taels of gold will be confiscated from the home of the governor of Hubei in the Qing court."

Li Guo went on to say: "At the end of the day, 40 taels of silver and a box of gold and jewelry will be copied from the backyard of the Governor's Mansion."

"In the end, 30 taels of silver will be copied from the home of the governor of Hubei Province~"

"In the end, 30 taels of silver will be dug out from He Mingluan's house~"

~~~

Apart from Dai Zhifan's own hands, other Shunjun generals such as Li Guo used to raid homes, and every time they broke down a city, the rich households in the city would have to be ransacked. No matter how deep they hide, they will find it.

In fact, the group of people did not disappoint him. This time Wang Yan deliberately used the treasury to hold He Tengjiao back to buy time for them, and what they gained was indeed worth Wang Yan's effort.

A group of generals reported numbers one by one, ranging from 40 million taels to 5 taels. Li Suiqiu next to Wang Yan kept recording the numbers reported by the generals with a brush.

After a while, he put down the brush, picked up the paper and read it several times, and then happily said to Wang Yan: "Duke, this time the silver alone is close to 200 million taels. Gold and jewelry can't be converted yet, but it is probably worth at least it." 50 taels of silver, this harvest is really shocking."

Li Suiqiu was in charge of the logistics for Wang Yan, seeing that the materials in his hands were getting less and less, and soon he would not even be able to pay the salary. Now that he had this money, he, the logistics manager, immediately felt relieved.

It is indeed shocking that such a small amount of money can be copied from a small Wuchang mansion, but it is not surprising if you think about it carefully. Wuchang is the capital of Huguang province. Conduct a scavenger hunt in the Abandoned Lands.

In the history of China, the gentry and common people have always had two habits, one is to buy land, and the other is to save money. This habit is still the habit of Chinese people even today when the commodity economy is developed. Officials, either with dozens of properties, or with hundreds of millions of cash hidden in their homes, the nature of local riches has not changed at all.

The Qing soldiers in the field cannot take it away, but the silver buried in the ground is easy to dig out.The dog officials of the Qing court robbed all these properties, but now they are all cheaper than Wang Yan.

After hearing Li Suiqiu's words, all the generals were overjoyed. They immediately reaped half a year's financial income from the Nanming court. How could they not be happy?

At this time, Wang Yan's face was also full of joy. He glanced at the crowd, but found that one person was missing, so he suddenly asked, "Where is Man Dazhuang? Why didn't he come?"

Yuan Zongdi said with a smile when he heard the words: "The Duke does not know. General Man has never seen so much money and jewels in his life. The Duke asked us to put all the property on his boat. He is now restless and dare not Get off the boat, for fear that something will be missing and be blamed by the Duke!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, but Wang Yan shook his head slightly, and said: "It's good that he is so careful, this more than 200 million taels of property is very important to the governor, you can tell him and leave 50 taels of money. Ten thousand taels of silver, let him transport all the rest to Changsha. The governor will let the civilian husband go back with him to cover his eyes and ears, so that He Tengjiao and Fu Shangrui must not know along the way, we have obtained more than 200 million taels of silver."

The Manda Zhuang tribe was on the Yangtze River, and the Ming army besieged the three gates, only the north gate was unguarded, so Wang Yan asked everyone to transport the money out of the north gate, and then directly loaded it on the warship. He Tengjiao never expected this a little.

"By the way, can you take good care of the officials and family members of the Qing court?" Wang Yan asked again after explaining the money.

Dai Zhifan immediately replied: "Don't worry, my lord, they have all been taken to the camp outside the city, and they will be guarded by soldiers. There will be no problem."

Now the battle of Huguang is not over yet, Wang Yan still has to send his troops northward to face Azig and Wu Sangui, he is really afraid that He Tengjiao will argue with him after he finds out that he has obtained a huge amount of money from the officials of the Qing court, and even whether he should borrow soldiers or horses He threatened to share the silver, so he must keep the money secret.

These Qing court officials and their family members were ransacked by Wang Yan, and they must be resentful in their hearts. If the current situation of money is spread, it will be very bad. An excuse to kill.

At this time, Wang Yan frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Before the governor has something to say first, within three days, those who do not surrender will slaughter the three clans. The governor must do what he says. Mingzhang will kill them all as soon as possible. Tulai, Tong Yanghe's head can be pickled for Ben Du, and Ben Du will be of great use!"

Killing these people will leave Wang Yan with a bad name, but it is also beneficial. Apart from keeping the money secret, it can also deter the Qing soldiers and tell them that Wang Yan said one thing, and if you ask you to surrender, you have to surrender. If you surrender, you will really kill your whole family.

Hearing the words, Dai Zhifan didn't dare to question, with a murderous look on his face, he saluted and said: "No~ I will do it tomorrow~"
