"Phew." Seeing that Wang Han didn't ask any more questions, the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Han's question was indeed difficult to answer. If it weren't for the Emperor's tacit approval, they wouldn't have dared to openly give gifts like this. Afterwards, the two of them simply exchanged some ordinary words while responding to the ministers' greetings.
As the bright moon hung high in the sky, the ministers all returned home one after another. King Han finally had time to take stock of the gifts the ministers had sent.
Upon taking inventory, Wang Han was speechless once again. The estate alone comprised over 130 mu of fertile land, along with eight oxen for plowing, and more than ten large shops in the capital, all located in bustling areas. There was only one carriage, but it carried at least twenty-five or twenty-six horses, all fine steeds, some even military horses, plus two donkeys for pulling millstones, and two stone mills. There were at least a hundred birds for viewing, over a hundred ornamental fish in the pond in the backyard, more than ten dogs, and a cat for catching mice.
There were over three hundred vases alone, and the potted plants and flowers were brought in by the truckload—over thirty truckloads, nearly six hundred pots in total, all of them carefully selected top-quality pieces. There were also many calligraphy and paintings; Wang Han estimated that even after decorating the entire Shenwei General's Mansion, there would still be plenty of these things left over.
Six hundred dan of grain, and over one hundred thousand taels of silver in gold and silver, not even counting the various priceless treasures. More than a hundred bolts of silk and satin, and over a thousand bolts of cloth, were also sent, making them the most abundant gifts, appearing on the gift lists of a quarter of the ministers. Many of these fabrics were not high-end, clearly intended for Wang Han's servants, and all were uniform in color. Besides these, there were also artificial mountains, condiments, and a whole host of other miscellaneous items.
What left Wang Han speechless was that more than 120 maids were sent over, none of whom were unattractive. Some of them were even daughters of disgraced officials, and each of them was exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, these maids were not just pretty faces; they all had a skill or were even multi-talented. There was not a single servant.
The doctor was alone, carrying a lot of medicinal herbs, even a medicine cabinet and shelves. Although he was an apprentice, he must have already achieved a certain level of skill.
After completing the statistics, Wang Han concluded that, apart from hiring more guards and protectors, the entire Divine Might General's Mansion would hardly need to make any purchases for a year. The officials had already provided all the necessary supplies for the year, and some items could even last for three years.
After completing the tally, Wang Han instructed his steward to arrange the remaining matters and then went to sleep. Although a great deal of gifts had been sent, Wang Han didn't care much for them. Compared to the daily consumption of his Divine Might Space, these things were nothing, not even a drop in the ocean. Even the wasted items amounted to tens of millions of times more. After all, Wang Han's Divine Might Space housed billions of people, not to mention countless monsters and other creatures. Instead, Wang Han was considering how to recruit guards for the next day.
People from the Divine Might Space aren't suitable to be brought out. They're too obsessed with their own mythology; they might ruin things. Using people like Gai Nie as bodyguards would be overkill. Tianming and Shaoyu would be good, but Tianming isn't very bright, and Shaoyu is too heroic; let's forget about that.
