Before coming to Jiangnan Road, Lai Junchen had already informed Ying Yuan of the current situation.
So he knew about the so-called Twelve Clans of Jiangnan.
The patriarchs of the twelve families came to the governor's mansion with countless boxes of all sizes and asked to see Ying Yuan.
Xie Yi went to report.
After Ying Yuan knew about this, he was speechless.
One of the purposes of the Southern Tour was to spend money.
However, after experiencing the situations in Dengzhou and Xuanzhou, this company not only did not fail but also succeeded.
On the contrary, I became a lot richer.
Especially after clearing out the underworld forces in Xuanhe and two states.
The amount of gold, silver and treasures seized was countless.
So, Ying Yuan really doesn’t lack money anymore, nor does he want money anymore.
Otherwise, when you have too much money, you will have nowhere to spend it.
How can the national strength be weakened when the national treasury and the internal treasury are full?
So, Ying Yuan summoned the patriarchs of the twelve families and said earnestly:
"The annual tax revenue of our Great Qin is only about 60 to 70 million taels.
This one move of yours is worth 100 million taels of silver, which really surprises me."
Hear the sound.
The twelve family heads looked at each other, and finally the head of the Xie family bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, all we have taken is the wealth accumulated by various families over the past hundred years. We have never plundered a single cent of the people's wealth. I hope Your Majesty will understand this."
Ying Yuan pretended to be serious and said, "If that's the case, then I cannot accept this money.
It's not easy for your twelve families to earn this much money in more than a hundred years.
If I take it, I'm afraid the descendants of your twelve families will poke me in the back."
He really didn't want the 100 million taels of silver.
Otherwise, how should I spend it?
If the money cannot be spent, it will sooner or later go into the national treasury or the internal treasury.
It will be even more of a headache then.
After hearing the emperor's words, the twelve family heads suddenly felt the unfathomable might of heaven, so they knelt on the ground one after another and bowed in unison:
"We, the common people, have absolutely no such intention."
Then, the head of the Qian family clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this silver is our filial tribute to you.
After all, last year the imperial court went to war to protect the people of Qin from foreign invasion.
As old Qin people, this is what we should do."
In their eyes, if the emperor did not accept the silver, he might be hostile to the twelve families.
After all, throughout history, has there ever been an emperor who didn't love money?
Ying Yuan was a little depressed and said sternly: "I said, I don't want your money.
Take all the 100 million taels of silver. I don't want to see those vulgar things."
The twelve family heads immediately looked troubled.
In fact, if Ying Yuan were in Xuanhe State, he would definitely want to deal with the Twelve Families.
If this happens, it will definitely cause chaos in Jiangnan Road.
But now he has changed his mind.
If the twelve families were really raided, how much silver would be confiscated?
With so much money, I’m afraid it will take several years to spend it all!
You must not copy!
Therefore, we must not accept the 100 million taels of silver!
Their homes must not be raided!
