One of the richest places in ancient China was the bank, which was equivalent to the present bank, and the other was the national treasury, which was in charge of all the money in a country. In everyone's impression, the treasury is naturally full of gold and silver, all of which are money. So, after Xuan Tong abdicated and the Qing Dynasty perished, where did the money in the national treasury go?

As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Although it is difficult to return it in the Qing Dynasty, the treasures accumulated from the Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty should not be underestimated.

In ancient times, although the emperor was the king of a country. However, the state treasury cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and it needs to go through complicated procedures to obtain the approval of the court ministers.

Then I can't help asking, how much money is left after the demise of the Qing Dynasty?

After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, the real ruler of China became the government of the Republic of China. The government of the Republic of China had a huge gap in military expenditure and wanted to use the national treasury.

When Sun Yat-sen took stock of the national treasury, although he was psychologically prepared, he never expected that there was only 10 silver left in the national treasury.

What is the reason, so bleak?

In fact, it is not difficult to find that the money in the national treasury has been declining slightly during the Xianfeng period.

In modern times, the kingdom of Tian Ping was attacked in 10, after several times of land cession and reparations, wars among great powers.

Among them, the two Opium Wars cost 38 million taels of silver, the treaty of shimonoseki cost 230 million taels of silver, and the Xin Chou Treaty lost 450 million taels of silver. Not counting interest, it is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Great Qing Dynasty for 20 years.

The most distressing thing is the incompetence of those in power. Empress Dowager Cixi has been in power for decades, and she has the time and ability to reverse Gan Kun, even if the losses are minimized.

In order to satisfy her personal desires, she spent her life with military pay regardless of the country's peril. It also accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

After Puyi abdicated, there were still a large number of eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting stealing in the palace. When Puyi was about to liquidate, the eunuch actually set fire to the treasure house.

Finally, in order to maintain the daily expenses, Puyi began to sell the jewels and jade articles left by her ancestors.

After experiencing war criminals, Puyi returned to China again and handed over 486 cultural relics to the country.

At this point, the treasury of the Great Qing Dynasty was completely clean and will become history forever.
