Chapter 397
"I'll fight, I'll fight!"
Riding on Chu Baole, Tang Yu's fists fell like raindrops, the scene was extremely funny, and Chu Baole himself was quickly crushed into a pig's head by Tang Yu.
From the very beginning, Chu Baole volunteered to ransack the house. At that time, Tang Yu guessed that Chu Baole must be full of bad intentions during the process, but he never expected that Chu Baole would even dare to embezzle money from the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, what shocked Tang Yu the most was that the assets of this group of people headed by Tang Shuheng and Wang Lang actually reached 38.6 million taels of silver. Although Tang Yu had been mentally prepared before coming, he really didn't expect it. To think that people like Tang Shuheng would be so rich.
This much money is simply richer than the national treasury.
Tang Yu was filled with anger when he thought that before the war, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty could not even collect ten million taels of silver.
Corruption, these officials are all so fat, and they still hide it when the country is in trouble. It is really corrupt.
"Your Highness, the liquidation is basically completed!"
After Fatty beat Chu Baole, Meng Tian came to Tang Yu with a respectful expression.
Tang Yu took a sip of water and asked, "How is it?"
Remember https://m in one second.
"The Sixth Prince is right. Hong Leong Bank's silver totals 38.6 million. In addition to these existing assets, there are also a large number of jewelry, house deeds, and land deeds. I did some calculations. Apart from the silver, the remaining The valuation is at least 10 million taels of silver!"
"In other words, the total value of the entire Hong Leong Bank should be around 50 million taels of silver!" Meng Tianru Shihui reported.
"Fifty million taels of silver?"
Hearing this number, Tang Yu couldn't help but take a breath: "Why are there so many?"
Before coming here, Tang Yu thought that being able to find 10 to 20 million taels of silver in Fenglong Bank would be quite impressive, but he really didn't expect that the total value of a small Fenglong Bank could reach 50 million taels.
"Your Highness, Fenglong Bank is the largest bank in the capital. The real owner behind it is the third prince, and the owner on the surface is Wang Lang. Over the years, Fenglong Bank has been secretly managed by Wang Lang. In order to make profits, these people do all kinds of evil. , we can do things like loan sharking among the private sector, compound interest, etc.!"
"Not only that, there are many ministers in the court who are in favor of the third prince and those in power in various regions below. They bribe the third prince and basically send the money to Fenglong Bank. Of course, there are also some dignitaries in the capital who keep their money in Fenglong Bank. Long Qianzhuang wanted to increase the interest rate, but we didn't expect that we would take the blame!" Meng Tian said matter-of-factly.
Tang Yu was amazed: "How cruel, I didn't expect this bastard Tang Shuheng to have accumulated so many assets over the years!"
This time for the battle with Dachu, I had roughly calculated the silver required before the war started. If this battle was to be a protracted one, I estimated that it would cost at least 10 million taels of silver.
Just imagine, a protracted war with Da Chu would cost 10 million taels of silver, but Tang Shuheng actually had 50 million taels of silver. If all these 50 million taels were used to fight the war, it would be enough to support Datang in fighting Da Chu for several years. .
"Brother, I have a suggestion that I don't know whether to say or not!" Chu Baole stepped forward.
Tang Yu looked at Chu Baole: "You're a fat guy and you don't have good intentions. What suggestions can you make?"
"Brother, I see that the situation in your Great Tang Court is more complicated than that of my Great Chu Court. At least in Da Chu, I only have to fight Chu Yunteng, and big brother, you need to fight with Tang Long and Tang Shuheng at the same time. The difficulty is The coefficient is bigger than mine!”
"Since it is a political struggle, then political struggle requires assets. In my opinion, the eldest brother might as well hand over the obvious assets that can be found, and the remaining eldest brother will quietly transport them to his house for emergencies!" Chu Baole Hehehe smiled.
Tang Yu rolled his eyes angrily: "There are hundreds of people in Fenglong Bank. What if I dare to do this and I get reported?"
"Brother, kill them all. After you kill them, burn all the bank's account books. This way there will be no evidence!" Chu Baole suggested very professionally.
"He was killed? All the ledgers were burned?"
Hearing this, Tang Yu said angrily: "Do you think I am you? Am I the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately? Do I look like the kind of person who has no lower limit for corruption?"
"Brother!" Chu Baole looked shocked.
The next moment, Tang Yu looked at Meng Tian: "General Meng, these people in Qianzhuang are all my third brother's men, and they deserve to die. Over the years, they have cooperated with Tang Shuheng to help the tiger, and quickly killed all these people, and destroyed all the bank's account books, Remember, do it cleanly!”
