Chapter 420
"The son is the son of the adoptive father."

Jing Yu couldn't understand what he said, but he felt relieved.

Didn't he do so much to protect Yinxuan and Chaosi?Since Jiang Han said so, no matter if he is sincere or not, it is worthy of her reassurance.

Jiang Han stood up: "I'll go first, take care."

He picked up the umbrella leaning against the foot of the pillar in the lobby and went out, passed the gate and disappeared.

The yamen was quiet again, and the old yamen servant was still leaning against the door and dozing off, as if no one except Jing Yu knew that Jiang Han had been here.

She sat down in a daze, thinking about what Jiang Han said just now.

What he meant was actually pretty much the same as he had guessed.

If it wasn't because he was just a adopted son, he couldn't justly take over the power left by Han Runwen, and if it wasn't for Yinxuan being young and no one but himself could step forward, he would never have been pushed to the front of the stage by Jiang Han.

He regards himself as a tool to keep power, but he can't bear to use himself as a tool.

Jing Yu sat down, full of disappointment because she thought too clearly, and could only hold the purse tightly in her arms, reassuring herself that no one was caring for her.

She gave the Chenzhou prefecture government three days to collect the silver, and they really did. Su Yu had no idea how much 300 million taels of silver was. For this reason, it was rare to follow Jingyu to watch on the day when the silver was put into the warehouse. .

Twenty or so carriages were filled with boxes. Once they were unloaded, the lobby in front of the treasury was full. When a box was opened, the silver ingots inside were neatly stacked. Eye.

Jing Yu walked over, picked up an ingot, weighed it, and then smiled: "It's quite a lot."

The state government immediately stepped forward and smiled apologetically: "Yes, the lower officials dare not fool the female monarch."

When Jing Yu reconciled the account books, they really scared them. Who would dare to fool her with too much adulterated inferior silver. For this reason, these silver ingots were cobbled together by them and the merchants below. After all, everyone has not lost the benefits these years , They have all discussed, take out the money first, put it in the treasury in front of Jingyu, and take out the silver after she leaves.

Jing Yu casually picked up a few boxes, weighed them, dropped the silver ingots, and said, "Rong Zhan, ask someone to count."

"Yes."

Rong Zhan had already prepared a large scale. He tried several times and it was accurate. He also took a basket and weighed the basket first, then poured all the silver ingots in the box into the basket and weighed it. .

They are not stupid, who can count the 300 million taels of silver one by one, and with so many silver ingots, who can guarantee that the upper and lower silver ingots are all enough?
Jing Yu watched them from the side and said, and the others also watched carefully.

After all, the money is pooled. If anyone wants to fish in troubled waters and use bad silver to make good money and lose their money, who will they turn to for reasoning?

It took a long time to grind 300 million taels of silver, and Rong Zhan sat directly on the box containing the money in the end when he was tired, and the guards who were pulling the abacus and counting trembled a little before finally finishing the silver.

The guards were counting the total, and the others were also silently counting in their hearts.

Jing Yu looked around them, put down the teacup in his hand and laughed: "Don't forget, it's only 2909 million taels after deducting the change, which is 1 taels short."

"what?"

Those people were shocked, and immediately looked at the guard holding the abacus. The guard checked it carefully and said, "The total is 290 taels, which is less than 150 million taels."
