Chapter 255 The Qu family’s shocking gift package
Xie Chengan didn't have the ability to retrieve things out of thin air, so he had to ask Su Mulan for a bag to put the twenty bundles of banknotes on the ground.
He handed the bag to Qing Niu to carry, while he personally carried Qu Yuanwai's account book in his arms. After thinking about it, he felt unsafe again and told Su Mulan to put it in space.
Su Mulan felt a little hungry after seeing the two of them off. Before she could give her orders, Ye Yu had already gone to the small kitchen to bring food and serve her.
After eating and drinking, Su Mulan was no longer sleepy thinking about the large amount of wealth in the space.
She ordered Ye Yu and Ye Wu to guard outside the main room door, while she happily took stock of the supplies in the space.
There are so many things that I might have to check them for several hours, which can be considered a happy worry.
Eight thousand taels of gold; 400,000 taels of silver notes; 140,000 taels of silver in cash; 18,000 taels of treasure notes; and 36,000 taels of copper coins.
There are 400,000 acres of land deeds; 35 red deeds and 16 white deeds for shops; 18 house deeds, two houses in the capital, two houses in Fucheng, four houses in Anlan County, and ten houses in the countryside;
In addition, there are 18 long-term lease deeds for forests, lakes, rivers, etc.; 565 deeds to sell oneself; 620 deeds for loan sharking; and 892 deeds to lease land.
Five hundred and thirty pieces of jewelry; 952 pieces of silver, copper, tin, porcelain, pottery, etc.; 1,300 pieces of silk and satin, cotton and Gebu, etc....
The more Su Mulan looked at it, the more shocked she became. Although these belongings actually belonged to Guo Xuan, it was still shocking. How much money is this worth?
In terms of hard currency, including the 100,000 in silver notes that Xie Chengan took away, there were approximately 850,000 taels. As for the land deeds, she didn't know whether they were all good and fertile fields. Even if they were middle- and low-grade fields, they were worth two million taels of silver.
If they were all high-quality water and fertile fields, they would probably be worth more than four million taels of silver!
In addition to the land deed, various documents and deeds are conservatively estimated to be worth one million taels of silver.
Other jewelry, utensils, cloth, etc. are also estimated to be worth one million taels of silver.
According to rough statistics, the goods obtained from Guangqu Family Village are worth five million to seven million taels of silver!
According to Xie Cheng'an, there are statistics in the account books that Guo Xuan's selling of official positions in recent years has involved one million taels of gold, which is equivalent to 20 million taels of silver.
Qu Yuan's wealth here only accounts for a quarter.
This is just Guo Xuan who is greedy for so much money. It would not be surprising if there are a few more greedy people, probably hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
No wonder the state treasury always cannot make ends meet and the people are always in extreme poverty. The wealth of the country was concentrated in the hands of civil servants, as well as lords, landlords, powerful men and gentry in various places.
With such accumulated disadvantages, even if one Guo Xuan is defeated, another Wang Xuan will appear, this imperial pill!
Not to mention other things, just the tax exemption for scholars and scholars with meritorious status is an unsolvable problem. This is a problem of the design of the underlying social system, and it cannot be solved by a few corrupt officials.
This Guo Xuan is so rich, I am afraid that if his treasury is plundered, the national treasury will be full for a year or two. If we use the Tongzi space to empty out the Guo family's warehouse, how much money will be gained?
However, Su Mulan just thought about it. The opportunity to empty Qu Yuanwai's warehouse was all because he had been raided by the county government once, and he was extremely tired and restless.
In addition, the bankers and male servants had not returned, so she took advantage of the situation and entered. This kind of thing can happen but cannot be sought. If you dare to go to Guo Xuan's mansion to do this, you may turn into a mouse and not be able to crawl out.
Su Mulan took the eight thousand taels of gold as her own without any hesitation. Those literary contracts are difficult to deal with for the time being, and they will become ownerless when Guo Xuan is really overthrown.
There are nearly 600,000 taels of hard currency such as cash, bank notes, treasure notes, and copper coins that can be used directly. Su Mulan planned to spend one hundred thousand taels to buy grain.
The price of rice in Anlan County is not high, but it is six hundred and twenty-five cents per stone. One stone is worth ten buckets, each bucket is worth ten liters, and each liter is worth 1.25 kilograms.
One stone is one hundred and twenty-five kilograms, so the price of rice per kilogram is also five cents.
But if Sumulan buys a large amount of grain, the price of grain will inevitably rise sharply, or even double.
So one hundred thousand taels of silver can probably buy one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand shi of grain.
So that's six to seven thousand tons of grain.
It is used for disaster relief, but it is enough to feed 180,000 people in Anlan County for two to three months!
Of course, she never thought about being able to afford food for the people in the county, but it was just used to relieve the emergency shortage.
But to buy so much grain, transportation is a big problem.
There is a famous saying from a military perspective, war is about money and food.
In fact, money and food are not the essence, but the underlying logic is the transportation of food. The army often performs unexpectedly in defensive battles, but it is easy to overturn in field battles.
The main reason is the transportation of logistical baggage. The defender has often hoarded enough money and food, and it is easier to win or defeat the opponent by waiting for work.
In field operations, it depends on the length of the supply line and the safety of transportation.
Moreover, transporting civilians and guards also requires food consumption. Often, less than 50% of one stone of food is transported to the front line. The army and civilians are both consuming money and food, and how can the national treasury survive?
The three generations of the early Han Dynasty were governed by inaction, and the accumulated money and food were all used up in the reign of Emperor Wu. This is the reason.
Moreover, these 100,000 shi of grain cannot be purchased in this province. Originally, the rains will be late this year, although it seems that it is just a poor harvest. But what about next year?
If all the local food is harvested, there will really be a famine next year. Wouldn't that be a man-made disaster?
To buy food, you have to go to the Taihu Plain area.
That's a grain-producing area, and grain is plentiful and cheap. Although the price of food in Anlan County is not high, there is not that much free food among the people.
Just do whatever comes to mind. Su Mulan has money in her hands and courage in her heart, so she naturally acts resolutely.
But she didn't want to do this herself. In her mind, finishing writing the Chronicles of Stone is the most important thing.
There is still more than a month left for the autumn harvest. Let Xiaobai and Li Fan take half a month off then. She planned to let the two of them take a trip to Taihu Lake.
It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books.
Reading is not literacy. Some truths need to be understood suddenly. This cannot be understood by just reading. You need to accumulate experience and insights to increase your wisdom.
However, these two people are young after all, and a large transaction of one hundred thousand taels of silver is not something they can afford.
You also need to hire someone to help.
Su Mulan then set her sights on Xie Chengan.
Did she know that Xie Chengan invited Master Qian Gu? He said that it was actually an old relationship with the Jiang family. Another Master Xing Ming was recommended by his teacher.
Master Qian Gu is naturally good at mathematics and proficient in grain and fodder matters. With him in charge, Su Xiaobai and Li Fan are not afraid of suffering.
The three Wang brothers are suitable for the rest of the entourage.
In addition, she was worried about the safety of this trip, and planned to ask Lin Xu to bring a few reliable government guards to protect her.
Although Taihu Lake is not far away, it still has to go beyond the provincial border, so it is necessary to rent a few carriages.
However, unlike in the past, with so much money in hand, renting is worse than buying.
