How much money the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties spent on the large-scale construction and expansion of Yuanmingyuan has never been counted in history.
According to the statistics of Jiaqing four years (1799), during the five years from 1793 to 1798, a total of1492,000 silver was spent on the maintenance of Yuanmingyuan.
According to the statistics of Daoguang four years (1824), during the five years from 18 18 to 1823, a total of10.82 million silver was spent on the maintenance of Yuanmingyuan.
Only the maintenance cost, Yuanmingyuan/KLOC spent 30-45 million taels of silver in 0/50 years.
Experts estimate that the cost is at least 10 times of the maintenance cost. At the same time, because Yuanmingyuan is a royal garden, where emperors work and rest, each palace is decorated with extremely valuable jewels, and its total value is incalculable.
