According to historical records, when Heshen ransacked his house, there were more than 3,000 houses. If totaled, there were more than 100,000 square meters! What a concept! Nowadays, when people buy a house, it only costs about 100 square meters, but He Shen! More than 100,000! ! Besides, there are more than 8,000 hectares of land. At that time, the landowners re-lent the land to the peasants, and then collected rent and grain. It is hard to imagine how many farmers need to rent more than 8,000 hectares of land and how much rent they can harvest!
Not only that, he also owned 42 silver shops and 75 pawn shops. In that era, pawn shops were an extremely profitable place. Many people had to go there in order to maintain their lives and were in a hurry to use money. Pawnshops, and pawnshops have seized on the people's need for money, and have repeatedly lowered the purchase price, but the goods are still good and can be sold at high prices! The pawn shop is really a profitable place!
Let’s talk about working capital directly! There are 60,000 taels of gold, 100 gold ingots, 5.66 million taels of silver ingots, about 600 kilograms of expensive ginseng, 1,200 jadeite Ruyi, countless properties, and a total of about 1.1 billion taels of silver!
If we use current terms, Heshen's family property is equivalent to the total property in the 15 years of Qianlong's reign. Compared with today's society, Heshen's property is comparable to that of the British today. Compared with the GDP in 15 years, if you think about it, Heshen is really rich as a country! At that time, the country was during the Qianlong period, but now, isn’t this country the United Kingdom?
It was precisely because He Shen was so rich that everyone knew that his home was confiscated in the end, so everything is a double-edged sword!
