Open the chest.But I saw more than ten coral trees standing proudly, the shortest of these coral trees were five feet, red as blood under the light, restrained porcelain, and actually a color of ox's blood red.In addition, there are several pink, pink, and orange coral trees, which are not as precious as oxblood, but they are also very valuable.In addition, there are several boxes of coral carvings, all of which are luxurious and atmospheric, and the carving and water head are excellent, which is a good thing at a glance.There are also fifty boxes of jade, Chinese love jade, so King Fu's collection of superb jade is also very much, what jade pei, jade belt, jade bracelet, jade hairpin, jade carving, jade plate, jade bowl, jade vase, Chongzhen's eyes can't see it.These jades are the finest Hetian jade, they are simply colorful, white as mutton fat, red as a cockscomb, yellow as steamed chestnuts, ink like pure lacquer, Chongzhen is almost angry when he sees it, and there is no such good jade in his palace.In addition, there are all kinds of glassware, rhino horn, ivory, crystal, cat's eyes, etc.!
In addition, there are dozens of boxes of various jewelry, what hairpin rings, bracelets, hairpins, step shakes, Huasheng, forbidden steps, palace silk is simply readily available, even the queen's jewelry is not so precious!
Chongzhen looked up to the sky and sighed.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so poor, Wanli spent more than 300,000 taels of silver to hold a wedding for this precious son, and he was almost scolded to death by the minister.When King Fu left Beijing, he only brought 40,000 taels of silver, and now!
Not to mention the real gold and silver, these jewels alone are more than a million taels!
This Fu Wang is really stupid, and he still wants to be an emperor?
The emperor is not as rich as you.Chongzhen fell into deep thought.The richest people in the Ming Dynasty were not the vassal kings, but the big capitalists in Jiangnan.In the Ming Dynasty, the commercial tax was originally low, and they also tried every means to evade taxes, or directly put the property in the name of the dignitaries and nobles, and did not pay a penny of tax.There is a record that the tax paid by a well-known commercial town is only a few dozen taels of silver a year, and it is just a big laugh, I am afraid that the merchants in that town will eat more than this amount of flower wine once, right?
There were so many social problems at the end of the Ming Dynasty!
In the future, it is necessary to vigorously rectify tax revenues, especially taxes on salt, iron, wine, and mines.By the way, why is there no jadeite?
This thing is expensive in modern society, and some jade jade bracelets are hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, which is much more valuable than Hetian jade.Chongzhen remembered that the jade thing was available in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, so it makes no sense that the Fuwang Mansion did not have a collection."
Emerald?"
Cao Huachun was depressed, is this thing jade?
Isn't it just a beautiful stone?
King Fu did collect a lot, but this thing was not the top jewelry, so he didn't present it, since the emperor liked it, Cao Huachun hurriedly selected a few boxes of the best and sent them up.Chongzhen chose a box of jewels to send to the queen, and he put the rest into his own small treasury and was managed by the black guard.This guy recently trained a group of guards, divided into two shifts, generally guarding the small warehouse, and one shift became Chongzhen's personal guard.Heiwei does have two brushes, and the guards he trained are not only strong in martial arts, but more importantly, they are disciplined.This day, after dinner.Chongzhen took this box of jewelry and set off in Kunning Palace."
Concubine see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed."
The queen saluted very dignifiedly, and her face was serious.But looking at her pink face, Chongzhen was full of lust, and he couldn't wait to immediately hold her in his arms and ravage her."
Queen, hurry up."
Chongzhen hurriedly approached her and helped her up."
Why did Your Majesty come here today and not go to see Concubine Tian?"
The queen was not used to standing so close to Chongzhen, so she stepped back quietly.It turned out to be jealous, no wonder it was so cold, Chongzhen was a little funny.He sat down with a golden knife and pulled the queen into his arms, "I brought some gifts for the queen today." ”The queen was frightened, hurriedly struggled out, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven, how can you do such a frivolous thing, and the concubine is not the likes of Nadaji." ”The queen's words were righteous and righteous.No wonder Chongzhen loves Concubine Tian, this queen doesn't understand any style, she goes online at every turn, and she doesn't know what it will be like to have sex with her?
The queen had a straight face, motionless, Chongzhen's routine was over, and when she thought of this scene, Chongzhen's ignition was extinguished.Alas!
This queen is too decent, and she doesn't know what kind of poison she has suffered since she was a child, Chongzhen secretly swore that she would get her three views back."
Ahem!"
Chongzhen smiled awkwardly, "The queen likes these jewels when she looks at them." ”After saying that, he picked up a string of pearl necklaces and prepared to put them on her.The queen tilted her head and dodged, and then respectfully accepted, "Concubine thank Your Majesty for the reward." ”After speaking, he didn't forget to kowtow.Chongzhen angrily threw all the remaining jewels on the table and left without looking back.Only the stunned queen was left.Your Majesty has been becoming more and more disobedient lately, what should I do?
It must be Concubine Tian's fox to charm the lord, this palace as the queen has the obligation to teach the concubines, and must warn Concubine Tian that as a concubine, she must not only serve His Majesty the emperor well, but also be dignified and courteous, and must not do anything that exceeds the etiquette system.Empress Zhou looked at the string of pearls in her hand again, these pearls were round and bright, and they were similar in size.The jewels on the table are even more brilliant, especially the jewel hairpin, the gem of the hairpin head is the Burmese pigeon's blood red, beautiful as blood, at least worth a thousand gold.Now that the state affairs are difficult and disasters are everywhere, how can Your Majesty be so extravagant?
But looking at these beautiful jewels, I like it so much.No, I am the queen, I want to take the lead in frugality, and I must not be extravagant and wasteful, these jewels are all things that have died in the country.Empress Zhou locked up all these things and refused to look at them again.Soon, Cao Huachun disposed of King Fu's property, and those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, silk and satin, spices, etc., were all sold in the Jiangnan area.In less than a month, it was sold cleanly, and with the previous gold and silver and other things, a total of two million taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold were obtained.Cao Huachun obeyed Chongzhen's will and used more than half of the gold and silver to buy grain.Chongzhen knew that the famine would be more serious in the next ten years, and food would sometimes be better than silver.Soon all the supplies were transported to Jingshi, and Cao Huachun was ready to do a big job.Although he is only a eunuch.But he also has the dream of serving the country and the world, if today's son trusts our family, our family will swear to the death to repay the king's kindness, and use this money and food to train a tiger and wolf army to guard Shenjing and His Majesty.
