In Yongzheng dynasty, after Yin Gui was robbed of money, why could he still give home12 million taels of silver?

As a prince, he took advantage of his position and received many benefits. He has many sources of income.

Ginza is the eighth son of Emperor Kangxi, and his biological mother is a princess. Anyone who has watched TV knows that the Eight Emperors Yin Gui was the main competitor of the princelings at that time. Nine princes, ten princes and fourteen princes all belong to one party of eight princes. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, they ended tragically.

Ginza is smart since childhood, knows the way of the world and is friendly to others, so the reputation of the Eight Kings is highly respected outside. This also made Kangxi like it very much. At the age of seventeen, Ginza was canonized as Baylor and given a mansion. It was the youngest prince to be knighted at that time.

As the son of the emperor, he is paid, and Baylor's annual salary should be above 22,000. You know, the annual salary of the minister at that time was only over 200. Accordingly, Baylor's annual salary can cover the total salary of the minister's life.

But as a prince, he also spends a lot of money, and power corrupts desire. Yin Zuo supervises the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and everything can only be implemented after his approval, so there will definitely be such a thing as taking bribes and taking kickbacks. In fact, in ancient times, as we are now, money is always easy to handle affairs, which seems to have become the unspoken rule of the industry.

As the leader of the Eight Ye Party, there are bound to be many people who want to curry favor with and get official positions. Mainly because Yin Gui also has this right, so on the one hand, she can make a lot of money.

At that time, it was sometimes difficult for businessmen to develop without the backing of the imperial court, because the status of ancient businessmen was not high, and scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce were at the end. So if you want to develop well, you must climb up the relationship with people in the court. At that time, a large part of Yin Gui's money came from this.

These odds and ends add up to make his strong capital chain.
