The Huainan Palace is like a treasure trove, and the silver coins that were not copied are really amazing. Qi Ning thought to himself that the methods of the Huainan kings to collect money were really good, but after thinking about it carefully, the Huainan kings have been gifted by the court for decades. The rewards obtained are not a few, and in addition to the search for grease, it is not abrupt to save this huge sum of money for decades.

But he immediately realized that the king’s family of Huainan was rich, and the common people didn’t know it, but the officials in the capital must know. Even if the officials in the capital didn’t know the details of the king of Huainan, Sima Lan must know.

A character like Sima Lan would of course not fight an uncertain battle. Since he listed the King of Huainan as his opponent, of course he was very clear about the investigation of the King of Huainan, and as a veteran of the three dynasties, Sima Lan had more seniority in the court than the King of Huainan. As one of the most important political ministers in the court, Sima Lan is naturally clear, so Sima Lan knows exactly how much property the Huainan Prince’s Mansion has.

Leaving aside the rare treasures in the treasure room of the Buddhist hall, the property found so far is as high as three or four million taels. Even if Qi Ning has a great appetite, he would not dare to swallow it. Going down, even if he opened his mouth and swallowed half of it, there would still be one or two million taels into the Treasury of the Ministry of Housing.

If this huge sum of money enters the Ministry of Household, then Qi Ning is most worried about the meat entering the tiger’s mouth.

Dou Kui frowned slightly when he saw Qi Ning. After all, he was also a cunning person. He understood Qi Ning’s thoughts and lowered his voice: “Master Hou, we are only counting the list of possessions. , we can’t move this cash. But how much money should be reported for other items, the lower official knows what to do, just…!” After hesitating, he whispered: “There are too many possessions, If the disparity is too large, someone will inevitably find trouble, and it is estimated that it is worth more than three million taels of silver.

“I have no experience with this kind of thing.” Qi Ning whispered, “Master Dou, what should you do?”

Dou Kui thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, “Master Hou, the lower official tried his best to make the accounts without too many flaws, and freed up two million taels of silver for Master Hou…!”

Qi Ning’s heart froze, thinking that Dou Kui was really brave enough, and frowned, “Is it too much?”

Dou Kui said softly: “Other officials in the DPRK do not dare to get involved. Even if the investigation is conducted, only the Sima family may be entangled. However, the Sima family has never set foot in the Ministry of Households. The Tencel that can do it is seamless, so they won’t let them see the flaws.”

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying: “Master Dou, I don’t know what to do, you can just figure it out.” Wei Wei approached and whispered: “Actually, there is a way that I think is good, too. I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not, Master Dou will help you to read the details.”

“Master Hou, please tell me.” Dou Kui said in a low voice, “The method that Master Hou thought of must be extremely brilliant.”

“As you know, the Emperor has always been very concerned about the reconstruction of the Black Scale Battalion.” Qi Ning sighed softly, “The Black Scale Battalion is not an infantry army. The Black Scale Battalion can’t even get a single warhorse.”

Dou Kui listened to his words and understood, and said, “This is the negligence of the lower official, and I am extremely ashamed.” A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Master Hou, the Black Scale Camp has a thousand people, and there are really good horses on the market today, young master. It is said that there are two hundred taels of silver per piece, and one thousand taels equals two hundred thousand taels, and the cavalry often needs two or three war horses to rotate in long-distance battles, and to equip the black scale battalion with good horses, it will cost five or sixty thousand taels of silver.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “If Master Dou can solve this matter for the Black Scale Camp, the Black Scale Camp must be grateful.”

Dou Kui said: “There are also weapons, and the camp of the Black Scales is too simple. It will cost a lot of money to train a brave and good cavalry.

The next official was going to take out 800,000 taels of silver from the silver taels seized from the palace and hand them over to the Black Scale Camp.

”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, “This is a matter of your household, and I will not interfere.” He added, “Yes, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty is fighting for the throne. After the emperor’s wedding, this matter will definitely be put on the agenda. The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will come first. Our Qinhuai Army may send troops to cross the Huai River at any time, so the food and grass troops on the front line must be well prepared, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Dou Kui was bright and cheerful, and said in a low voice, “When Lord Hou said this, the lower official will understand what to do.”

Qi Ning beckoned, Dou Kui came over, and Qi Ning whispered: “The confiscated more than 3 million taels of silver, 800,000 taels are allocated to the Black Scale Battalion, 1 million taels are allocated to the Qinhuai Army, and the remaining more than 100 taels. Ten thousand taels, free up one million taels of silver. After all, the emperor has given us a chance to make a fortune, and we can’t live up to the emperor’s good intentions. The one million taels of silver will be added to five, and Mr. Dou will go with that. .”

Dou Kui hurriedly said: “Don’t dare, Master Hou, the lower officials will never dare to move…!”

Qi Ning knew in his heart that if he wanted to let the horse run, he would always have to feed the horse, and if Dou Kui would be willing to do this job well, he would always have to let him get some oil and water: “You don’t need to talk too much, Ben Hou always does things. It’s all blessings and hardships, and since there is such a good opportunity to make a fortune, I will naturally not ignore you.”

Dou Kui cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty takes care of you like this, and a subordinate official will never be able to repay the death. But a subordinate official will never dare to add another five to your Majesty.” He said in a low voice, “Your Majesty is open-minded, and subordinate officials are bold, then the time comes. Keep 200,000 taels of silver, and the rest will be handed over to Lord Hou.”

Qi Ning sighed: “Since this is the case, I am not reluctant. It will take a long time to come to Japan. As long as Mr. Dou works hard, this Marquis will never treat you badly.”

Qi Ning planned ahead, knowing that such an arrangement was the best solution at the moment. The money was put into the household treasury and transferred out immediately. Of course, the money from the Black Scale Camp was bound to be obtained, and if it was allocated one million to the Qinhuai Army Two silver coins can not only make the front line ready, but even if Sima Lan wants to stop it, it will not be possible.

What Sima Lan lacked the most was military power. If he stopped the Ministry of Household from apportioning money to the Qinhuai Army, he would definitely offend the Qinhuai Army, and the military would be even more disgusted by the attitude of the Sima family.

The discussion was over, and the two of them didn’t talk too much. After more than an hour, the property of the palace was also mostly copied and recorded in the register. Dou Kui ordered a packing truck to transport the property of the palace one by one. .

After Dou Kui left with the last car of confiscated items, Chi Fengdian came over and said to Qi Ning, “Master Hou, today is a good day, when the humble approached, the emperor had an explanation, after the confiscated, Hou Hou The lord must have worked very hard, tomorrow is the emperor’s big wedding, and the emperor will not receive his ministers tonight, so the lord just needs to go back to the palace to rest, and the humble general will return to the palace to return to the emperor.”

Qi Ning asked, “Can the emperor arrange for someone to guard the Huainan Palace?”

Chi Fengdian nodded and said, “The emperor has explained everything, and everything is arranged by the marquis. If the marquis wants to call the Yulin camp to guard here, Bei will let him stay.”

Qi Ning looked up at the sky and said: “Tomorrow’s big wedding in the palace is extraordinary. Yulin Camp wants to protect the safety of the palace, so naturally the brothers of Yulin Camp cannot be recruited. Commander Chi, see if this is possible or not, send The people will go to the Kyoto Prefecture to transfer a team of officers to take over the guards of the Yulin Camp for the time being. The brothers of the Yulin Camp have worked hard today, and they will be on duty tomorrow, so go back and rest first. I will send someone to the Black Scale Camp tonight. Send a team of people over, and before the emperor has another will, let the people from the Black Scales camp guard the palace for the time being and protect the prince from being harassed.”

Chi Fengdian said: “Master Hou has arranged it properly. Brothers Gu Nian have worked hard, and I will thank Master Hou on behalf of the brothers.”

Qi Ning laughed and said, “I’m all under the emperor’s orders, my brother, but don’t say thank you.” After looking around, he said in a low voice, “Commander Chi, there is one small thing I want you to help with, can you help me? Talk somewhere else.”

Chi Fengdian raised his hand and said, “Master Hou, please!”

Qi Ning didn’t talk nonsense, and led the way. The two of them reached the outside of a house one after the other. Qi Ning opened the door and let Chi Fengdian in. Then he closed the door and turned to the side room. Chi Fengdian followed him. Beside him, he didn’t know what medicine was sold in Qi Ning’s gourd, but he saw that Qi Ning had walked to the corner of the room and raised his hand to lift off a black cloth. Under the black cloth, there were two boxes.

Chi Fengdian vaguely understood something, but still asked: “Master Hou, this is…!”

Qi Ning opened a box, Chi Fengdian glanced at it, but it was full of curios. All are top quality.

Although the antique treasures in this box are not as rare as those in the treasure room, they are naturally much more precious than other treasures outside. Qi Ning closed the box and said with a smile: “This morning, Commander Chi will start early in the morning. I brought my brothers from Yulinying to work. Everyone has worked hard this day. Before leaving, Mr. Dou mentioned to Ben Hou, saying that he can’t lose the brothers. After thinking about it, Ben Hou is indeed the truth. , so I left some gadgets, and Commander Chi will take them away later and give the brothers some wine money.”

Chi Fengdian has actually estimated in his heart that if these two boxes of treasures are really sold, there will be hundreds of thousands of taels at least. Although Chi Fengdian is the commander of the Yulin Camp, his position is crucial, but his annual salary is not much, hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two silver is undoubtedly an astronomical sum for him.

“Master Hou, this…isn’t it appropriate?” Chi Fengdian’s eyes twitched slightly.

Qi Ning said with a smile: “If someone wants to bribe Commander Chi, let alone Commander Chi will not accept it, even if Commander Chi is moved, I will stop Commander Chi from accepting it. But after all, it is a confiscated thing, and many are Even if the ill-gotten gains are handed over to the Ministry of Households, it will not be separated by the various yamen. It is better to get the moon first when you are near the water tower. Since there is an opportunity to let the brothers in Yulin Camp get their hands on it, everyone can drink a few more bottles of good wine. It’s not a bad thing, what does Commander Chi think?”

Chi Fengdian said with a smile, “Your Majesty takes care of you so much. If the humble general refuses, it will be hypocritical.” He saluted: “Thank you for your care, the humble general. Thank you for your brothers.”

“Don’t say things like that, or you’ll be seen outside.” Qi Ning patted Chi Fengdian’s arm: “Blessings are shared, this is a good brother, Commander Chi, isn’t that the truth?”

“Yes yes yes…!” Chi Fengdian also laughed, the atmosphere was harmonious,
