e Mu Yinghua's face, but they could see this enormous Qingluan carriage, and they also knew that it represented the Great Qin Dynasty!The squad continued to advance along the avenue. This particular p...From dawn, people gradually started to fill the streets of Fei Long City.
Life always goes on, even with so much unknown.
But the common people on the street, from their initial fear, eventually all became doubtful.
"I don't feel any difference. Maybe it was just a dream last night"
Some people were puzzled and scratched their heads. Then, they took their bags to the square to receive grain. Only those with sharp eyes noticed that unlike usual days when shops and restaurants would be open, all of them were closed today.
In Xuelin Garden, Zhang Liyang was somewhat distracted at the moment. Cai Ning was here now, and if he left, he was afraid that Mu Yinghua would be at a disadvantage.
"Your Highness, with the three great families gone, this Fei Long City can be said to have been completely absorbed into the dynasty."
Cai Ning's smile remained on her face.
After taking out the three powerful families, all Cai Ning needs to do is implement his policies well. He's guaranteed to achieve a great political achievement. When he returns, who knows, maybe he can even move up in rank.
"Master Cai, you mustn't be careless." Zhang Liyang reminded Cai Ning a few words. "Not to mention anything else, the grain transportation channels still need to be established as soon as possible. With just Xue Family's reserves, it won't last for long."
A right minister of the Ministry of Rites was talking with Princess Dynasty, and they were still discussing official business. Eunuchs were not allowed to interrupt, but here, Zhang Liyang speaking was perfectly normal in the eyes of both Mu Yinghua and Cai Ning.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Zhang Gonggong." Zhang Liyang was an eunuch, but Cai Ning treated him with great courtesy. "I have already started contacting the people in Liangzhou City in the rear, to see if we can reopen the trade route and transport food."
Cai Ning is not an incompetent person, and Zhang Liyang only gave a suggestion. Cai Ning will handle the rest himself and do it well.
The only important thing is that Cai Ning came today. These issues aren't the main concern; others are.
"Your Highness, please look!" Cai Ning took out a booklet from her bosom and placed it before Mu Yinghua. "This is a list of all the assets under the three prominent families. Please have a look, Your Highness!"
Looking at the booklet Zhang Liyang passed over, Zhang Lixiang's eyes lit up slightly. This booklet was the highlight of today!
“Xue's family had a total of 100,000 mu of arable land, 1.6 million mu of grassland, and about 700,000 jin of grain!”
"The Jia family's shops numbered one hundred and seventy-six, including the goods inside the shops, an approximate estimate of their value was nearly four million taels!"
Cai Ning licked her lips and continued to report the next family's situation to Mu Yinghua, "The Bai family doesn't have much assets. Most of them are silver. Over seven million taels of silver notes were found in the Bai family vault!"
Over seven million taels!!!
According to Cai Ning, even the wealthiest city in the Great乾 Dynasty only collected 30 million taels of taxes in a year. In this remote border town, a single family could hoard over seven million taels of silver!
It can only be described in four words: breathtaking!
Evidently, Mu Yinghua was also a bit stunned by this massive number.
"Your Highness, how would you like to distribute these assets" Cai Ning addressed Mu Yinghua, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Liyang.
Cai Ning had long understood that although this Li Yang was his servant, the real power lay with him.
In the case of any prince, Cai Ning would certainly report the matter to the Emperor of Dayan. However, if it happened to a princess, Cai Ning would simply turn a blind eye.
"Thirty thousand mu of fertile land, four hundred thousand mu of pastureland, fifty shops, and two million taels of silver!"
This was a number Li Yang reported after a slight pause, Cai Ning nodded and smiled in response with a "good" word!
How much did Mu Yinghua take
Not much, not at all!
The Three Great Clans were destroyed by Zhang Liyang. Even if Zhang Liyang took everything, what could he do
But Zhang Liyang only took about one-third!
This single act deepened Cai Ning's impression of Zhang Liyang, and her eyes shone with approval.
Before he came, Cai Ning had already prepared for Zhang Liyang to take away three-quarters or even four-fifths of the shares. After all, Feilong City still needed to operate, and he Cai Ning also needed funding.
Capable, knows their limits, and still young...
Looking at Zhang Liyang once more, Cai Ning sighed inwardly, "It's a pity he's a eunuch!"
Mu Yinghua was still stunned beside him, this time because of what Zhang Liyang had just said. She knew that from the moment Cai Ning nodded, these things all belonged to her!
A few months ago, she was a caged goldfinch within the imperial palace. Now, she has become a wealthy magnate who owns vast tracts of land and silver shops!
"Master Cai, I have one more request."
"Master Zhang, please speak."
"Later, when Cai the Official distributes land or other policies, I think it would be good for the Princess to represent the Court and announce them. What do you think"
No problem!
Isn't it fame that you want Cai Ning naturally wouldn't refuse. Still, the same words apply: as long as Mu Yinghua isn't a prince, Cai Ning doesn't care about how much fame there is.
"Then, many thanks to Lord Cai!" Zhang Liyang smiled and bowed towards Cai Ning.
Cai Ning left contentedly, although Zhang Liyang took one-third of the fortune, two-thirds remained in Cai Ning's hands. With this vast asset, it would be a piece of cake for Cai Ning to make Feilong City completely submit to him.
After Cai Ning left, Mu Yinghua finally came to her senses, “Zhang Liyang, are these things appropriate”
Knowing that Mu Yinghua was afraid of being questioned by the imperial city, Zhang Liyang suddenly smiled. "Your Highness, I dare not speak about anything else, but the assets of those princes are at least ten times more than yours!"
"So many"
Before Mu Yinghua knew that each prince had his own estate, but she didn't have a concrete understanding of how large those estates were.
Now that she was in possession of a vast fortune, she discovered that the princes possessed at least ten times more than her. She felt a shiver of fear run down her spine.
Without explaining much to Mu Yinghua, Zhang Liyang just asked her to think about how she planned to use the land and money in the future before rushing off to retreat.
"Beep, system task complete, reward: a blood dragon fruit!"
Dragon Blood Fruit, the fruit of heaven and earth, contains great dragon's blood!
Looking at the void, that fruit with a surface covered in purple scales, Zhang Liyang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
In the realm of mountains and seas, the essence of heaven and earth is thick. Some exotic creatures of heaven and earth can automatically absorb the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies, thus giving birth to spiritual fruits!
Every Spirit Fruit that appears is accompanied by a struggle, either for money or for life!
Phew!
Returning to his own room, Zhang Liyang organized his emotions and then took out the spiritual fruit from the void and swallowed it in one gulp! period of military and political separation in the Daqian Dynasty, he held 30,000 elite garrison troops.Just like now, traces of the traitor were found outside the city. This is something He Houde di...
