take the system to escape

Chapter 80 The Empress Dowager's Library
The things that happened in the court soon spread, spread to the harem, and spread to the court and the public.

To Ran Yue, it was like meeting a pillow while dozing off.

Ran Yue guessed that those who owed a lot of money would not want to pay back the money. Even if there is no interest on these loans, they are not small amounts. I am afraid that it will take a long time for any family to take them out.

And Fang Yuan wanted to clean up the group of nobles, and also wanted the money accumulated by the nobles. I am afraid that bloody means would be indispensable in the end.

For Ran Yue, it was very convenient whether she bought it at a low price or copied it directly. Anyway, she didn't want the real thing, but only energy points.

But all of this takes time to ferment, just wait now.

Ran Yue searched for a few days, and went to several book collections in the palace respectively. She didn't gain much, only 6000 energy points were credited, but it was better than nothing.

However, the reputation of the queen mother's good books has spread again. Before that, Ran Yue was flattered by a lot of flatterers because she liked obedient books, but now she just enjoys the same treatment for a while.If she wasn't a high-ranking queen mother who didn't get involved in the harem struggle, I'm afraid there would be other rumors coming out.

Ran Yue's guess was correct, although the person in charge of urging this matter was Hubu Shangshu Yao Chuan who held Shang Fang's sword, but those nobles were not easy to mess with, and few of them were willing to pay back the money, even if Yao Chuan had already come to the door, Most of those people were crying for poverty, some even sold their pots and pans on the street. Every day, there were a lot of people watching the excitement and talking about it. It can be said that they were quite disrespectful to Yao Chuan. In other words, it was to give Fang Yuan face.

One month has passed, and the household department has only received 10,000+ taels of silver, which is very different from the vacancy of 8000 million taels.

So Yao Chuan, holding Shangfang's sword, took action, and took a declining founding mansion as the "chicken" to kill chickens and monkeys. In fact, Yao Chuan didn't know what happened to this mansion, which was obviously even more declining than the Weiguo mansion. Have the courage to dare not return the money from the treasury.Tsk tsk, with the blessing of Shang Fang's sword, don't take it too easy to find evidence, and quickly copied more than 50 taels of property from this mansion. Of course, there is not that much silver, most of them are jewelry and furniture decorations , antique calligraphy and paintings and the like.These things are not silver that can be circulated directly. Someone will auction these things, and some of the proceeds from the auction will go into the national treasury, and the rest will naturally go into the emperor's small treasury.

Ran Yue also sent someone to the emperor to spread the word, saying that she planned to organize and build a library outside the palace and open it to scholars for free. However, buying books requires a lot of money and energy, so she is going to sell the books of these fallen nobles. Books are used.

At first, Fang Yuan was curious about Ran Yue's frequent visits to several book collections in the palace, but now he understands that the Empress Dowager is getting old and wants to ask for a name, and pass the spare time by the way.

Regarding Ran Yue's plan, Fang Yuan certainly raised his hands in favor of it.The queen mother is old, and her family is in decline. Her newly built library is open for free and has cultivated a group of students. In the end, the emperor Fang Yuan is the only one who is cheap.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help admiring Ran Yuelai in front of his confidant eunuch Liang Donghai, "The queen mother is worthy of being a queen mother. She really thinks far-reaching. Compared with those gold and silver treasures, books are the most valuable. I know many people from poor families. Although the students are motivated, they suffer from poverty at home and cannot afford to buy books. Now the Empress Dowager is using these copied books to give these students a chance to study. I must help the Empress Dowager to clear this collection of books. The pavilion was built."

Liang Donghai also praised Ran Yuelai, saying: "The Queen Mother really has a bodhisattva heart. She gave students who can't afford to study a chance to make progress. Students all over the world should remember the kindness of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If there is no Queen Mother and the Emperor , how many poor people may not be able to read books."

It's not enough to just flatter the Queen Mother, at least the Emperor should be brought along.

Everyone loves to hear good words, let alone the words from the heart of a confidant. Fang Yuan couldn't help but beam with joy. Thinking of the help the Queen Mother gave him time and time again, he secretly made a decision in his heart that he must use it in the Queen Mother's lifetime. Respect her old man well and fulfill her wish as much as possible.

Fang Yuan said seriously: "Liang Donghai, turn around and help me see if there is any suitable place to build a library near the capital, so the money doesn't have to go from the household department. It’s out, anyway, there’s been a lot of progress recently.”

Liang Donghai smiled obsequiously, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old slave will definitely handle this matter beautifully, and I'm sure you will be satisfied with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

Fang Yuan sighed, and said: "It doesn't matter if I am satisfied or not, the most important thing is that the queen mother must be satisfied. You know, the queen mother is already over 60..."

Liang Donghai bowed his head and said: "I understand, I must find a good place and decorate it as soon as possible. As for the books that enrich the library, do you want to read it, Your Majesty?"

Fang Yuan pressed his furrowed brows, and said: "This book is based on the confiscated books according to the queen mother's wishes. Anyway, no matter if you are a nobleman or an official, books are indispensable at home. You have to assign someone to take charge of this work." , protect those books, but don’t spoil the Queen Mother’s wishes.”

Liang Donghai nodded and said, "I understand."

Fang Yuan continued: "Also, I kept this matter from the Queen Mother, and I plan to surprise the Queen Mother."

Liang Donghai smiled and said: "The servant must keep his mouth shut. If the queen mother knows the emperor's filial piety, she will be very moved."

So, without Ran Yue's knowledge, a library belonging to her is about to be built, and she doesn't need to pay a tael of silver. If she knew, Ran Yue would definitely praise her son for being so obedient and witty. The more the son, the better.

But obviously Ran Yue didn't know that a certain son had already planned to give her a library. The main reason was Fang Yuan's ignorance all the time, which made Ran Yue feel that Fang Yuan was a heartless person who treated her own mother like that. Cruel, how filial can you be to your aunt.

So Ran Yue has already calculated her family's belongings to see if she can afford to build a library. If she can afford it, it will be great. If the money is not enough, then she will owe it first. Can the creditor go to the palace to collect debts? ?
Fortunately, Zhou Wanqiu has been in the palace for many years, and her savings are still very rich. Ran Yue has made an inventory. In addition to a large amount of gold and silver, there are also a lot of jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are also many shops, manors, and land. The market price is at least several million taels of silver.Zhou Wanqiu is really rich, but the money is hers now.
