"How much, how much? Say it again." At this moment, Ye Sanlang opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was shocked because he was unable to prepare himself at this moment.
What is the concept of more than ten million taels of silver? For example, An Lushan once offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold for Ye Sanlang's head. Because Ye Sanlang learned that he was secretly training the army and hoarding grain, the thousand taels of gold caused countless people in the world and various religions to take action. , but after that, Ye Sanlang's reputation became very high, especially among the three sects and nine schools, who were impressed by him, so the reward was nothing.
One thousand taels of gold can be converted into ten thousand taels of silver, which is ten thousand guan. In the past, rich people were often described as having huge wealth, so 10,000 guan can be regarded as the starting line for the rich for the time being.
Liu Zhao, the former governor of Yangzhou, hid more than a thousand taels of gold in his secret room. Counting his other properties, the final confiscated property totaled more than 500,000 taels of silver. This was because he was the dignified governor of Yangzhou, Shangzhou. , received a lot of money, and had a hand in the smuggling of cast iron business. If it were Li Daofu, his wealth would be one-tenth that of Liu Zhao, which would be enviable.
Nowadays, Datang's annual tax revenue is more than 30 million taels of silver. This is because the craze of the Kaiyuan era has not completely subsided. In other words, the Ye family is now regarded as the top Ye family in the entire Jiannan Road. Its family property can actually be worth 30% of the entire Tang Dynasty's annual tax revenue, which is amazing.
"Zhongcheng, the total wealth of the Ye family is approximately more than ten million taels of silver!" Zhou Hao said solemnly. Even if he was usually as calm as he was, he had never thought that the Ye family's wealth could be so huge.
"Have you ever reported it to your superiors?"
"This data has just been obtained. This is also the first time I have learned about it. It has not been available yet."
"Immediately report to Zhang Yu Jianqiong, the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan Dao, and Xian Yu Zhongtong, the interview envoy, and ask them to send a large army to escort them. At the same time, they block the news and prevent this matter from spreading out of Yizhou. Such a huge wealth is enough for the entire Tang Dynasty. If the horse bandits and bandits join forces, the consequences will be disastrous. That's more than ten million taels of silver!"
"Yes, Zhou will resign for the time being." After Zhou Hao finished speaking, he took several subordinates with him, quickly got into the carriage he came in, and made a furious report.
"Captain Chen, several hours have passed. I think the other sergeants who came to your Yizhou Zhechong Mansion to arrest people related to the Ye family should have been arrested. You quickly mobilize all the troops and horses in your Zhechong Mansion and rush to Nanshan to race horses. In the field, guard the finances confiscated from the Ye family day and night to prevent any accidents. You must know that this is wealth that even the emperor wants. The seizure of the Ye family has his permission. If you neglect your duty, I am afraid something will go wrong. In the end, At least, you have to keep an eye on the situation before Zhang Yu Jiedushi’s escort army arrives.”
Hearing the word "Emperor", Lieutenant Chen couldn't help but tremble. As he expected, the Emperor was also involved in this matter. If he hadn't obtained the Emperor's permission, even if Ye Sanlang was the dignified Yushi doctor in charge of the Yushitai, They did not check the power of the top family within the group, and Zhang Yu Jianqiong, Xian Yu Zhongtong, and even Li Daofu and Zhou Hao cooperated in this way. In addition, after Ye Sanlang finished the affairs in Yangzhou, he rushed directly to Shuzhong, which shows that Liu Zhao is indeed inseparable from the Ye family, and the emperor also intends to rectify the Ye family and confiscate the Ye family's property. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It was more than 10,000 taels, but he would never expect to get one-tenth of its huge wealth in his life. There were even boxes filled with the Ye family's finances nowhere in Yizhou City. So the Zhao family came forward and lent the Yizhou government office their Nanshan racecourse on the outskirts of the city. This gave them a large area of open space to pile up their finances, which was enough to show their exaggeration. If something really went wrong, he probably couldn't afford it.
"I understand that Ye Zhongcheng should rest assured. I will take care of the Ye family's property before Zhang Yujiedu's army comes." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Captain Zhao, stay." At this time, Ye Sanlang suddenly shouted.
Another Captain Guo Yi who was following Captain Chen stopped and looked at Ye Sanlang curiously, then at Captain Chen.
"Go ahead, whatever Ye Zhongcheng says, you can do whatever you want." Captain Chen waved his hand impatiently and hurried away. This Captain Zhao is a descendant of another aristocratic family in Jiannan Road, the Zhao family. Call Zhao Liuyang. He is the second son of Zhao Xin, the head of the Zhao family. However, unlike other sons of the rich family, this guy has been deeply influenced by border poets since he was a child. He yearns for a military career. He thinks that it is reasonable for a man to take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan. As expected, Zhao Xin couldn't defeat his son and spent a lot of money to get Zhao Liuyang a job as Captain Guoyi in the nearest Zhechong Mansion in Yizhou.
Zhao Liuyang originally came to Zhechong Mansion full of ambition and vowed to do something big, but after a few years, he couldn't stand it anymore. The overall lazy atmosphere of Zhechong Mansion and the gradually corrupt government army In order to control the situation, there would be soldiers escaping every once in a while, which made him not have any good impression of Zhe Chongfu. Duwei Chen also didn't like this rich kid, and couldn't stand his full ambition. Although they were in the same Zhechong Mansion, one was the chief and the other was the deputy, he didn't want to see Zhao Liuyang and make himself angry. If today was not about the Ye family, he would not be with Zhao Liuyang.
After Ye Sanlang came to Jiannan Road, he got a lot of information about many people, including Captain Guoyi of Zhechong Prefecture in Yizhou. In his subsequent interactions with Zhao Xin, he occasionally heard Zhao Xin talking about it. , he also saw the shadow of himself in Zhao Liuyang, who had an empty ambition to serve the country, but had nowhere to show it.
He knew that in as little as five years and as long as ten years, Anlushan would be defeated. Now he is not fully prepared, but ten years later, Anlu Mountain's troops will be well-prepared, and there will be Hu people from the north to help him. With the government army now collapsing, it may be difficult to withstand Anlu Mountain's perennial swords. By that time, the blood-licking Hu Army might only be able to compete with the Sixteenth Guards and the border troops, so he decided to give Zhao Liuyang this opportunity.
"Zhao Liuyang, do you recognize me?" Ye Sanlang asked with a smile.
"Before I came here, I heard my father mention it. My father admired Ye Zhongcheng very much, saying that Ye Zhongcheng was a rare young hero. When I saw him today, it was really extraordinary. Faced with more than 10,000 taels of silver, he didn't take any penny. This calmness, I’m afraid no one can do it.”
What Zhao Liuyang said was true. That was more than ten million taels of silver. Although he didn't know how much his family's wealth was, looking at the situation in which the Zhao family has been suppressed by the Ye family in recent years, I'm afraid it will be. Much worse than the Ye family. While Ye Sanlang was inspecting the Ye family, as a member of the Ye family, he did not spend any money. This would definitely make him, Zhao Liuyang, awe-inspiring. ;
