Chapter 1442 The Executioner(1/2)

Wang Chengen stood there, bent slightly, and was reciting the booklet.

"Fifty-two large beds of mother-of-pearl colored lacquer, eight marble beds, one hundred and forty-five beds of colored lacquer carved lacquer, one hundred and forty-five beds of beech wood carved poetry and paintings, one hundred and thirty cold beds of gold-painted vines, one hundred and thirty cold beds of mountain screen north combing, forty cool beds of plain lacquer, and one hundred and twenty-six rosewood beds of various sizes..."

Zhang Chao couldn't help but breathe in.

The Han family's property in Nanyang was searched, including the fief of Ningbian Fort and the ancestral home in Nanyang, as well as industries purchased in Wujing, among which 640 beddings were added together.

These are not ordinary beds. Each bed is considered a piece of furniture, and even an important furniture that reflects the financial resources of the family.

Six hundred and forty beds, all kinds of colored lacquer, carving, carving lacquer, carving poetry and painting, gold-painting and wiping rattan beds, etc., not only are the craftsmanship top-notch, but also wood is good.

All the beds collected by the Han family can open a bedding shop.

"I don't need to read the small list. Let's talk about the total number." Zhang Chao waved his hand.

There are six hundred and forty beds, and then there are various chairs, couches, tables, cabinets, and kitchens. How long does it take to read?

"When you go back to your Majesty, there are 13,171 gold coins, and 3,180 pure gold vessels, and the weight is 11,033 taels and three cents."

"The gold-inlaid jewelry utensils weigh 1,802 taels and 7 cents and 2 cents, and the bad gold utensils weigh 253 taels and 4,303 taels and 9 cents and 2 cents."

‘There are twenty-three pairs of gold-inlaid pearls and jade jewelry, totaling 284 pieces………………………………’

The Han family also has amazing goldware.

Han Yuan is usually low-key. His gold likes to be melted and rebuilt, and cast into various pots, pans and other daily necessities, which is quite creative.

There are more than 13,000 gold coins alone, and the other gold utensils weigh more than 16,000 taels, which does not include hundreds of gold-inlaid pearls and jade jewelry.

These gold coins, gold jewelry, gold jewelry alone are worth nearly one million guan.

The Han family also stored many silver ingots, all hidden in the silver cellar. The silver ingots found were more than 200,000 taels, which was worth millions of guan.

There are also more than 1,000 pieces of various silver utensils, which are more than 10,000 or two.

Gold and silver alone are worth more than 2 million guan, but gold and silver are only part of the property of the Han family.

A fief of hundreds of miles of Han family, a castle with a circumference of about a mileage on the fief, there are dozens of properties everywhere, and tens of thousands of acres of land estates owned in various places, even if some of the land in the border areas are still quite large.

There are many shops, workshops, etc. in their house.

According to Wang Chengen's calculations, all the property obtained by confiscating the Han family was equivalent to about 10 million chunks, which was only a lot.

"So, I've made a surprise profit?"

Ten million coins, that's really a lot.

Especially the Han family's property is mostly high-quality assets, such as the gold and silver of their family, which are all hard currency and are not afraid of depreciation.

Their real estate, shops, and houses are all good assets, and even their factories and workshops are good.

It is also worth a lot of money just by an underground black army workshop of the Han family.

Although the Han family was only considered a second-rate family in the past, it was considered first-class in Nanyang. After the imperial court moved the capital to Dengzhou, the Han family in Nanyang actually took advantage of many advantages. Many of their land, industries and other fields have greatly appreciated, and they made a fortune like the second generation who broke up in later generations.

During the 20 years of the Tang Dynasty, the Han family and his son also took the Changsun family's car and entered the upper floor of the court. There were people in the court who climbed high in their own positions, and then they were local tyrants. In addition, they also took advantage of the new policy of the Zhenguan year to invest in industry and trade.

Standing at the vent of the wind, even if the Han family was a pig, they did fly very high.

With the past few hundred years of family accumulation and rapid expansion over the past decade, the Han family has a good foundation.

Although there are tens of millions of assets, even the top 100, the Han family is indeed the current situation of many nobles, with power, power and money.

He is both aristocrat, capitalist, and bureaucrat.

However, ten million is nothing to Zhang Chao. Last time he enfeoffed seven brothers and ten sons, Zhang Chao took out nearly 30 million at once. Moreover, those tens of thousands of slaves are actually worth millions.

Even the imperial court now collects more than 100 million yuan a year.

There is only one salt sale, and the imperial court collects more than 40 million a year.

Chengqian turned all salt, tea, wine, porcelain, sugar and other items into special tax items last time, but the tax revenue for the imperial court's tea, wine, sugar and porcelain was no less than 40 million yuan in the year.

These few things alone can collect more than 80 million yuan a year, not to mention related taxes, industrial and commercial taxes, two taxes, etc.

"Register all these in detail, and then conduct an auction, and deposit the proceeds from the auction into the national treasury."

Think about it, in ordinary self-cultivated farmers, the important property is farmland, cattle, horses, farm tools, houses, etc. There are actually very few real savings, and maybe not one family must have a 23-ton chunk of money.

But aristocrats like the Han family often own millions and tens of millions of property. Although this is not much compared to those famous corrupt officials in history.

Yang Guozhong embezzled 30 million pieces of silk, and Prime Minister Yuan Zai occupied three yards in Chang'an, and even later collected 800 stones of pepper from his home.

It is said that Liu Jin, the family of nine thousand years old, was confiscated millions of taels of gold and silver.

The Heshen family's property in the Qing Dynasty was worth 800 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty for ten years.

The powerful ministers, nobles and powerful men are indeed rich.

Of course, no matter how rich they are, no one of them is more rich than Zhang Chao.

However, this time, many problems were found when raiding the Han family.

For example, although the banking industry is now emerging and saving money is of interest. In addition, the industry and commerce are booming, and you can buy bonds and stocks, or even invest in businessmen, many people still like to hoard money.

The Han family cast gold into various vessels, and a large amount of silver was melted into silver ingots and stored underground.

The imperial court was very short of gold and silver as currency, but there were these powerful families here who would rather bury the money underground than take it out for circulation.

What annoyed him even more was whether a family like the Han family lacked money?

They are not short of money, they have fiefdoms, farms and even many workshops and shops. They can only eat for ten or eight generations, and even rely on rent and interest to earn.

But they still have shortcomings.

The Han family also had to make fake accounts, evade taxes every year, and even risked the arms smuggling business, creating arms for sale to the Hu people in Mobei.

In fact, the money they earned from smuggling armies was not used, and they were settled in gold and silver, and then buried.

What is this not sick?

Even according to the interrogation of the Han family, the Han family has always had a tradition of burying burial objects for their ancestors. Not to mention pottery people, stone horses, various gold, silver, utensils, jewelry, jade, and many other gold, silver, utensils, jewelry, and jade are buried. Sometimes they even secretly kill slaves to bury them.

Human sacrifice has long been forbidden.

Nowadays, many powerful families have the custom of burying a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and a large amount of wealth is buried underground.

Zhang Chao really wanted to send someone to dig up the Han family’s ancestral tomb.

But think about it and forget it.

In the future, an edict would be issued to let the world bury the poor and frugal, but the direct digging of the grave would still have a bad impact.

More than a dozen other families were also convicted, and basically they all ended up with Han Yuan, but the dozen ranks were lower, and the highest one was just an earl with a fiefdom of fiefdom.

However, tens of millions of houses were confiscated.

"Which day is the execution?"

"tomorrow!"

If the death penalty is normal, it is rarely executed directly. It must be reported to the Ministry of Justice for review by Dali Temple, and even the death penalty must be signed by the emperor.

Many death row prisoners were even taken to the capital for review and inspection and sentenced to the capital.

Even if you want to kill, you have to wait until the autumn is over.

However, Zhang Chao would not let Han Yuan and the others live until after autumn. If you want to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, of course you have to take advantage of the situation and make a move.

While everyone is paying attention to this matter now, kill it if it should be.

"Prepare it to the Nancheng Vegetable Market and behead it."

"Let all officials and congressmen go to watch the execution!" Zhang Chao explained.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, how can you do it if the monkey is not there?

········

The newspaper has long announced the news that Han Yuan and thirteen princes who committed serious crimes of treason and treason today.

Nancheng Vegetable Market was originally very lively every morning, but there were no people here in the middle of the morning. But today, it was almost noon, but there were more and more people.

"Here's here, the prison car is here."

The person who had been waiting to see the behead shouted loudly, so everyone became more and more lively.

It seems that no matter when, beheading has become the most interesting and lively event.

Killing and beheading is not something you can see every day.

What's more, today the thirteen real princes were killed.

The one who cut down is the lord who is usually high and superior.

A wooden platform has already been built in the vegetable market.

The censor Zheng Yuanshu, the noble dean Wei Zheng and others were responsible for the execution of the beheading.

The prison car approached and finally squeezed out a way from the crowd. In order to ensure the safety of the court, the Jinwu Guard even sent hundreds of imperial guards to maintain order.

"Take a prisoner!"

"Test the right person!"
