Chapter 1267 Raising Money
"Master Zhao, please stay!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, then left calmly with her people.
Zhao Mu grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it to the ground. "How ridiculous! How ridiculous! Damn it! It's too abominable!"
Butler Zhao lowered his head, wishing he could disappear right there.
The master suffered a great loss this time, no wonder he was so angry. But then again, if he hadn't let his wife down, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
This is really a case of what goes around comes around!
Zhao Mu was panting heavily and had a big outburst. He turned his head and looked at Butler Zhao with a dark face and an unhappy expression.
Butler Zhao shuddered and forced a smile: "Master..."
"Go check the accounts to see how much can be moved. Take inventory of the farm and the villa, and then look in the storeroom to find a few valuables."
Butler Zhao felt heartbroken for his master when he heard this. "Yes, Master."
How many things have to be given away at once!
He didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that his master would be angry with him, so he ran away in a hurry.
Zhao Mu cursed for a while, let out a long sigh of relief, and then slowly walked back to the study.
He needs to think carefully about what to do in the future.
Without the Zheng family, he would not believe it. Doesn't he know how to run a business and make the Zhao family continue to prosper? The Zhao family can be what it is today because of his ability, not anything else.
As for Zhao Shu and that Mrs. Shao, he would seek revenge on them in the future.
No one has ever made Zhao Mu suffer such a great loss.
Just three and a half million taels of silver, can the Zhao family afford it?
The Zhao family was indeed wealthy. Within half a day, the housekeeper Zhao came back to reply. There were 800,000 taels of silver on the books. The two farms in the south city had 20,000 mu and 6,000 mu of good farmland respectively. In Yangzhou, one mu of the best farmland cost 13 taels of silver. The 26,000 mu, together with the farms and people, was worth about 400,000 taels of silver.
In addition, the Zhao family has several farms, but they must be kept.
There are quite a few good things in the warehouse.
Just the purchase of a jade cabbage that was over a foot tall cost him 400,000 taels, so now it could easily be worth 500,000 taels.
There is also a pair of red coral ornaments that are taller than a person, and their value is also around 400,000 taels.
There was also a complete set of Yue kiln tea sets, a pair of mutton-fat white jade vases, a crystal screen, a box of South Sea pearls as big as longans, and so on. There was also 100,000 taels of gold hidden in Mr. Zhao's cellar. It was not difficult for the Zhao family to collect 3.5 million taels of gold.
However, looking at this long list, Mr. Zhao still felt extremely painful.
These are the accumulation of two or three generations of his family, especially the things he bought in the past ten years. All of them are carefully selected fine products. Now he has to give them away all at once. How can he not feel sad?
But he forgot that these priceless things should not have belonged to him in the first place. The Zheng family's silver belonged to the Zheng family, and he had taken it for nothing. Now he was just asked to return part of it!
Zhao Shu didn't take advantage of him in the slightest.
Zhao Mu made such a big fuss at home, so Zhao Zhai and Zhao Ye naturally knew about it.
Even Zhao Ye, who was always good at pretending, couldn't sit still when he heard that his father was going to give away such a huge sum of wealth, not to mention Zhao Zhai.
"Too much! That little bastard is too much! Dad, this is not a small amount, three and a half million taels! How many families in Yangzhou City don't have that much in their entire property? How dare that little bastard ask for such a huge sum! Isn't he afraid of being stuffed to death?"
Sisters, please give me monthly tickets!
