Chapter 752: Definitely not a drag
The carriage sped along and stopped in front of the treasury.
Xiao Nuobao looked from afar and saw countless silver boxes waiting in line for her inspection.
Each silver box had its lid opened, like a "big-mouthed" gold-eating beast, all filled with long silver bars, each of which was heavy and quite a treat.
Xiao Nuobao quickly bent her waist and touched a few rows curiously, and her eyes were almost full of stars.
"Wow, it turns out that one hundred million taels is so much. If these are taken out and displayed, they can circle our Longxuan Palace ten times!"
Wu Que was a little eager to move.
There was a loud noise in the sky, and the old slave appeared on the stage. He really tried to display it for the young master to see!
Fortunately, Mu Yihan arrived at this time, pressed Wu Que's big head, and slapped his bad idea back.
Xiao Nuobao looked at it again, and couldn't help but tilting his head curiously, "Eh? Daddy, why is this silver a little different from the silver ingots I usually spend? It seems... the color is darker?"
Mu Yihan glanced at it and was not surprised, "This is the official silver of Japan. They have limited silver mines, so even if it is official silver, the quality cannot be excellent. However, to be able to achieve this level, for their small country, it has already been done its best."
Xiao Nuobao suddenly realized, she didn't bother, she waved her little hands and smiled.
"It doesn't matter. It's just these. It's enough for them to collect taxes for a whole year."
Ali couldn't help clapping his hands. "Haha, you're right. I guess those Japanese haven't changed their minds yet. They wanted to rip us off, but now, we've fleeced them first."
Xiao Nuobao looked at the many silver boxes on the ground. Even if he hired 20 strong men to move them, it would take half a day. How could this be more than fleecing?
A whole year's tax revenue, for a small country, can be said to be fleecing the skin!
Xiao Nuobao stamped his cotton boots and waved his fist happily, "This is just the beginning. Sooner or later, I will pull out all the hair of the Japanese king and make him restless and honest!"
Seeing the little guy's puffy cheeks and his unyielding look, Mu Yihan and A Li couldn't help but smile.
See what she can do!
However, there is still a problem.
That is, what should I do with the 100 million taels of silver in front of me.
Mu Yihan tilted his handsome face and looked down at Xiao Nuobao, "Silver has to be stored. Have you ever thought about where to use it?"
Xiao Nuobao actually had a plan long ago, so he almost blurted out, "Dad, I want to use it to buy winter supplies to help the poor people so that more people can spend this winter well. What do you think?"
In the past month, she has put
all the cotton in the tribute pile into the market in batches.
At present, the price of cotton has returned to normal, but the cold winter is hard to bear, and there are still many poor civilians who cannot spend the winter safely.
Seeing her so decisive and straightforward, Mu Yihan raised his eyebrows, "Okay, let's listen to our Nuobao."
"Ali, melt all this silver quickly and make it all into legal Nanji official silver, and then use it to purchase winter supplies and hand it over to the princess!"
The news of providing cold relief to the people spread faster than the winter wind and soon reached every corner of the street.
So, the Jiang family had something to do.
Little Nuobao wanted to provide cold relief to the people, so of course they couldn't hold back and had to contribute as much as they could.
Feng thought of the storehouse at home, where there were still many expensive gifts sent by others, so she took Li Qiqiao and Nanny Zheng to pack them up.
"Come here, these valuables are not very useful to our family. If they are kept in this room and gather dust, they will become dead things. It is better to take them out now and exchange them for silver to give to Nuobao. It can be regarded as a great use for them." Feng put on an apron and opened the storeroom.
Li Qiqiao and Zheng Madam were certainly not vague.
The two of them were nimble and stepped on the ladder to take down all the valuables such as antique vases, jade ornaments, rare calligraphy and paintings, and crossed them off the storeroom list.
Feng was halfway through and was so tired that she supported her waist for a while. When she turned around again, she saw Sun Chunxue came in without knowing when, and was helping Li Qiqiao.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, why are you here too? Don't you feel bad when you give away so many good things from our family?" Feng couldn't help but test her.
Sun Chunxue was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said, "Mother, look at what you said. In the past... I was a bit stingy, but after following your words and deeds for so many years, I should understand a little bit."
"Our family is no longer the time when we didn't have enough to eat. I heard the fourth child say when he was studying, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world." Now that our family has this million-dollar family fortune, we should take more responsibility and help other poor people. How can I feel bad?" Sun Chunxue became more and more involved in her speech, and even recited two lines of poetry.
Hearing this, Li Qiqiao and Zheng Mama turned back in surprise.
After the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and gave Sun Chunxue a thumbs up at the same time.
"Second sister-in-law/first lady, you said it very well!"
Sun Chunxue realized that she had made a fool of herself, and her face turned redder, "Oh, stop looking at me, let's work quickly, the winter money for the people can't wait."
Feng raised her eyes, her face full of relief.
It's great.
The children have grown up, and even the eldest daughter-in-law, who was the most clumsy before, has become sensible and more like a member of the family.
If the days go on like this, their Jiang family will have a prosperous life for a hundred years.
Soon, the Jiang family sorted out the first batch of property and exchanged it for silver, which was a full two thousand taels.
After the official silver was cast, Xiao Nuobao came to the street market, thought about it, and chose an empty space as the base camp for cold relief.
She first asked people to build a porridge shed. It
was specially used to help people in the city who were hungry.
In addition, Xiao Nuobao asked Fenghu to bring Dawen and Xiaowu to buy a large amount of rice, noodles, charcoal, and cotton-padded clothes and pants and other winter supplies with silver.
"Let's make some winter supply packages, each with 20 kilograms of grain, 5 kilograms of cabbage or potatoes, 10 kilograms of charcoal, and a set of cotton padded pants, all stuffed in one package."
Putting them in the same package is considered a winter supply package.
After everything was done, there were nearly 10,000 winter supply packages in total.
Xiao Nuobao looked at these and nodded, "That's all. Send them all to the city, small towns outside Beijing, Jiaodong, and several of the most impoverished small towns in the north. Send people to distribute them to the poor people there, and give each household a copy."
Mu Yihan sat not far away, watching the little guy commanding everywhere, his handsome face full of pampering and pride.
"Ali, listen to me, when you get married in the future, give birth to a daughter, this is the warmest little cotton-padded jacket in the cold winter."
After saying that, he deliberately curled his lips, "Why am I telling you all this? You and Cuicui's matter, I don't know when it will happen, let you envy for a while."
Ali, who was standing aside, did not say anything, but looked longing, his eyes fixed on Cuicui's belly not far away, which was not yet pregnant.
