Talk about the world of mortals in detail

After the death of the fifth prince Xiang Yuyuan, many of the royal family members who had special thoughts ceased their activities, at least for a short period of time. Even the prince did not dare to make any overstep.

But no one expected that there would be another big event immediately afterwards.

How rich is the Tan family? This question is actually a doubt in the minds of many people.

However, many people did not expect that the answer to this question could actually be revealed, or almost no one thought that the answer to this question could be revealed so quickly, while Tan Yuanshang was still alive.

The fact that Tan donated almost all his property to the imperial court was, to some extent, more sensational than the death of the fifth prince, Xiang Yuyuan.

Of course, in the end, the emperor did not accept that Tan Yuanshang completely handed over everything of the Tan family to the court. At least some of the business chains in various industries were still in the hands of the Tan family.

Because doing this is no longer the emperor's or Tan Yuanshang's business, it may cause turmoil in the entire Dayong economy.

But at least all the major assets that could be handed over were handed over, including but not limited to various real estate properties, and even the luxurious Tan Mansion in Chengtian Mansion City was also handed over.

All officials from the Imperial Household Department came out to count the assets handed over by the Tan family. It took more than half a month to figure out a basic clue, and it took another month to get it clear, but the work had just begun, and the main reason was that the reconciliation was extremely cumbersome.

But some basic things are clear.

The Tan family's assets are indeed very exaggerated, but they seem to be somewhat unexpectedly small.

From the perspective of current money, the donated gold is calculated as 2.4 million taels, more than 9 million taels of silver, and more than 10 million taels of copper coins.

Although this is an extremely huge sum of money, compared to the Tan family, it does not seem to be that exaggerated. This seems very contradictory, but it is the thought of many officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs and even many officials in the DPRK.

You know, in the twelfth year of Chengxing, Tan Yuanshang donated more than 900,000 taels of gold. At that time, Dayong's annual income was more than 90 million taels.

Now more than forty years have passed, Dayong's population has doubled, and the annual income has reached nearly 20 million yuan, which is the highest in history. The Tan family only has this amount of cash. It would be normal to have several times or even ten times more. ?

The Tan family must have their own reservations. How many reservations do they have?

Neither.

Because the Tan family handed over not only assets, but also accounts, so many accounts that it made many officials in the Ministry of Accounts tremble.

Tan Yuanshang's accounts are extremely detailed, ranging from the monthly revenue of each store to every wave of profits from the seagoing fleet, and of course the whereabouts of various large and small expenses.

Just looking at this account, you can understand that the Tan family definitely made a lot of money, but they also spent it quickly, and a lot of it was spent on the court and the people of the world.

Judging from the accounts, we have indeed spared no effort in donating money and materials during disaster years and military years, not to mention suppressing prices and cooperating with the government to implement local government orders. We have even collected some illegal properties and returned them to the people at appropriate prices. measures.

The accounts are not only for the Hongxing period, but also for the last years of Kangding, the Chengxing period, and now the 20th year of Hongxing. Of course, the accounting time of the Ministry of Household Accounts is already at the beginning of the 21st year of Hongxing.

Of course, in fact, the Tan family's own assets are still very large. After all, the current gold and silver are not counted. There are more than 300 donated houses all over Dayong. There are more than 230,000 acres of existing land, mines, forests, There are dozens of places such as ponds and gardens.

In Chengtian Mansion alone, there are more than ten houses under the name of the Tan family, not just the Tan family mansion as the world thinks.

If all these things were converted into gold and silver, they would be incalculable.

What about the Tan family? How do they deal with themselves?

The emperor granted permission, and the Tan family can still live in the Tan mansion. Even if the Tan family doesn't want to live there, they can't move.

In the spring of the 21st year of Hongxing, Tan Yuanshang was alone in the study warmed by charcoal fire, warming wine and drinking side dishes. In addition to the wine and dishes, there was also a piano on the table, and from time to time he would play a simple melody, which was considered Amused myself.

"Oh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, as someone who enjoys me so much, how can I not think about myself?"

Although the accounts are very clear, with Tan Yuanshang's ability, hiding something is not the same as playing?

In Tan Yuanshang's eyes, the emperor is still kind, but this is what he likes about this younger generation.

Although the Tan family donated most of their assets, the emperor did not touch the Tan family's business foundation, and the reason was very legitimate, which would shake the people's livelihood and economy of Dayong.

But now Tan Yuanshang no longer holds the sole power. Although the Tan family's business foundation is still there, he no longer interferes and lets the Tan family's children do their own work. They love to fight and fight.

In the days to come, I will enjoy life.

In early summer of this year, Qi Zhongbin and Hui Mian came to Mingzhou.

After so many years, the ancient city of Mingzhou has been expanded for several rounds. After all, the population is there, how can it be done without expansion.

However, Mingzhou is still full of familiar feelings to Qi Zhongbin and Hui Mian.

They also visited the former residence of Yi Shuyuan. The relationship between the mounds and the woodland there was not the focus of the expansion of Mingzhou City. There were already forests and grass, but the house was actually very well preserved, even better than Yi Shuyuan's. It was much better when Shuyuan left, and there was even someone to take care of it.

However, Qi Zhongbin's former residence has long since collapsed, and new houses have been built in that area, and a large area of ​​residential buildings has been planned, making it look like a new residential area.

After walking through various sights in Mingzhou, going to the Niangniang Temple, which is still popular, and tasting various snacks, finally one person and one mink came to the door of Mo Mansion.

Mo Mansion has been repaired a long time ago, at least the door looks slightly different.

Hui Mian sat on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder and stuffed the last small bun on his paw into his mouth. The mouth was like a squirrel stuffing a large acorn, which bulged up without affecting its chewing.

Hui Mian patted Qi Zhongbin on the shoulder with its tail. Hui Mian probably meant to ask him to call the door, but it hid it itself, as if it planned to give Shi Sheng a surprise.

"I don't know how my senior brother is doing now!"

Qi Zhongbin said this with a smile, and then walked towards the door of Mo Mansion. He just lightly knocked on the door and made a "bang bang" sound, and soon there were footsteps coming from inside.

The side door opened amidst the commotion, and it was opened by two young servants who were complete strangers. They looked outside and saw Qi Zhongbin, and they didn't dare to neglect him after seeing his appearance.

"Old man, what do you want?"

One of them came out and asked, and Qi Zhongbin bowed his hands.

"Oh, little brother, please tell me that Qi Zhongbin is here to visit."

The concierge nodded and said "Please wait!", and one of them hurried in, leaving one person outside to accompany him.

The person who was left behind was looking at Qi Zhongbin and frowning at the same time.

Qi Zhongbin? Sounds a bit familiar.

The servant who went in to report actually felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he didn't think of it for a moment, but instinctively quickened his pace. After all, the old man had an extraordinary bearing at first glance, and was definitely not ordinary.

When they arrived in the inner courtyard, a young man was playing chess with a pretty woman in the small courtyard beside the corridor. Suddenly he saw a servant running past in a hurry, and he immediately shouted out of curiosity.

"Ajiu, what's going on?"

The servant responded while running.

"Second Young Master, there is a visitor named Qi Zhongbin outside. I'll go tell him-"

The young man playing chess nodded, but still muttered.

"Why does Qi Zhongbin sound familiar?"

The young man turned his head and saw the woman playing chess with him with her mouth slightly open.

"What's wrong?"

The woman suppressed her surprise.

"Isn't this the name of the old Heavenly Master? Have you forgotten? At the end of last year, when the news came from Chengtian Mansion, you came to my house and told me about it, saying that it was a pity that you were not in the capital, otherwise you would have been I want to go to Tianxu Temple to visit the living gods!"

The young man suddenly understood.

"Oh! I remembered it, why did it sound familiar to me! But this... must be the same name, right? No, I have to go and have a look!"

"I'll go too!"

In the backyard, although Mr. Mo is old, most of his hair is still black. Although he is not as evil as Tan Yuanshang, he still looks younger. When he heard that his servant came to report, he suddenly felt happy.

"Who did you say you were?"

"Master, he is an old man, his name is Qi Zhongbin!"

"Please come quickly, please come quickly, no, I will go in person!"

Mr. Mo trotted to the front yard with his servants. An older servant who happened to be nearby also walked away with excitement, while the young man and woman just now ran over.

It's just that one person got there first than anyone else.

In front of the gate of Mo Mansion, the servant suddenly stepped aside.

"Young Master"

Shi Sheng nodded towards the servant, and then walked directly out the door to look at Qi Zhongbin who was waiting in front of the door.

"Brother!"

When he saw Shi Sheng, Qi Zhongbin was slightly stunned, but he immediately bowed to Shi Sheng and saluted, and the latter returned the same gesture.

"Junior brother! Hehe, you are making a lot of noise in the capital city!"

"Hahahaha, I made senior brother laugh!"

Qi Zhongbin smiled, and Hui Mian's voice suddenly sounded in the brothers' ears.

"Oh, Shi Sheng, you actually look like this!"

Because Shi Sheng at this moment actually looks middle-aged, and it is obvious that he also used the method of change.

"Senior Gray?"

Shi Sheng was surprised, and then he realized that Hui Mian had come out, and he looked outside subconsciously.

"Don't look, sir is not here."

"oh"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was two young people running over, and Shi Sheng smiled at Qi Zhongbin and Hui Mian.

"The Mo family also wants to continue the family line, and my parents also want to have grandchildren."

Hui Mian nodded.

"I understand, but we just return to life and hide in the mortal world. It seems that we shouldn't be here!"

"Senior Hui, it's too late for me to be happy when you come over!"

Shi Sheng smiled, and there was already a sound coming from the other side.

"Brother? Brother, I heard that someone with the same name as the Heavenly Master is here!"

"Oh, yes"

Shi Sheng responded, raised his eyebrows at Qi Zhongbin, and then turned back to look at the young man in front of the door. At this time, Mr. Mo, who was only a little slower, also arrived.

Although he is old, his voice is more hearty than before, and laughter can be heard now.

"Quickly, open the front door! Mr. Qi, how are you after so many years of separation?"

Mr. Mo did not come out from the side door, but asked his servants to open the main door and stride out, bowing to Qi Zhongbin.
