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. (I estimate that the cost is not less than 600 million taels of silver)
