Chapter 248: Seize the largest gold mine in Liaodong

Han Yue laughed and shouted, "Yes, go grab it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Goguryeo has gold, let's go and grab Goguryeo, Baekje has gold, let's go rob Baekje, Silla has gold, let's go rob Silla......"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and a soldier below shouted: "Master Hou, your fifth concubine is Princess Silla, let's even rob her house?" "Not long ago, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo confronted each other across the river, and the soldiers all knew that Hou Ye had another Silla princess.

Han Yue laughed and said, "Then Ben Hou will discuss with everyone, how about we spare Silla?" Only Goguryeo and Baekje were grabbed, and Silla was spared. ”

"We listen to Lord Hou, only grab Goguryeo and Baekje, and don't move Silla, we must give Mrs. Hou a face." The soldier shouted again, causing countless soldiers to follow in unison. When the whole riverbank was shouting 'rob', the soldier quietly retreated.

Li Tao watched coldly, and it was only at this time that he finally understood, bowed his head and said to Cheng Yanjin: "In the past, Shang Ying changed the law, and he was rewarded with a wooden pole, but now he only used two pieces of gold to turn the soldiers into evil wolves, this kid is more ruthless than Shang Ying." ”

Lao Cheng looked at Han Yue's figure in front of him with a strange expression, and suddenly grinned: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzubai is worried, this kid dared to turn his face and resist hard for the sake of high drinking, how can I believe that he is a loser?" ”

Lao Cheng sighed, he turned his head to Li Tao and sighed: "Two pieces of gold add up to two thousand guan, but two thousand guan has turned all the soldiers into evil wolves, you are known as the smartest general in the Tang Dynasty, can you do this kind of thing?" ”

Li Tao groaned, shook his head slowly, and said: "I can also stimulate the blood of soldiers, but I will never be able to make him so beautiful, and I can't even think of using two pieces of gold to pry the morale of the three armies." ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said proudly: "Lao Tzu is still smart, he let his own children worship him as a brother early on, this son's forehead has shown a magnificent posture, and the world will be his in the future." Hey, hey, Lao Tzu is favored by His Majesty, and my son is favored by His Majesty the next generation, and my Lao Cheng has a long-term vision......"

This product is purely cheap and well-behaved, Li Tao dislikes him for being too disgusting, pouts and leaves this goods.

At this moment, Han Yue suddenly shouted again, shouting: "Soldiers, if you want gold, you can't just grab a road, we can also go to open a mine, but gold mine is a place that is coveted by all countries, once it is mined, there will be wars, do you have the confidence to help this marquis defend it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked again, and Li Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and shouted: "It turns out that this is his original intention, I still look down on him." ”

A figure appeared in the camp in the distance, and it was Li Shimin who came in a hurry, and the emperor grabbed Han Yue and said in a trembling voice: "Stinky boy, you tell me clearly, is there a gold mine here?" ”

Li Shimin's voice was slightly nervous, even if he was a talented emperor, he would be excited when he heard the word gold mine.

Han Yue smiled, suddenly stretched out two fingers, and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, there are not only gold mines here, but also two places, a mountain mine and a water mine. ”

"Two gold mines, and a water mine?" Li Shimin's eyes were green

Mountain ore is a rock containing gold, which is not easy to mine in ancient times, but water ore is different.

What is Water Mineral?

The water mine is the natural gold sand collected in the river, and the gold nuggets can be minted by a little smelting, which is how gold generally came from in ancient times.

In the past five hegemons, Qi Huan discovered the Jinsha water mine in Shandong, called on the soldiers to collect for three years, and obtained 500 pieces of gold, and the national strength suddenly took off, and since then he has dominated the world. Cao Cao Tuntian of the Three Kingdoms, accidentally discovered the Jinsha water mine in the territory, emptied a river in eight months, obtained 2,000 gold ingots, and rose with the hero.

There are many more examples in history, many monarchs stumbled upon the Jinsha water mine, and the national power suddenly increased by leaps and bounds, and all became the masters of the time, and most of the gold mines they collected were small mines, most of which only had an output of one or two tons.

……

……

"Boy, what about the two gold deposits you mentioned, can you collect ten thousand gold?"

Ten thousand gold, that is, 10,000 catties of gold, is equivalent to 100,000 taels in later generations, which is only a few million yuan in Datang. However, gold is generally not converted according to copper coins, because it is the cornerstone of national strength, if there is 100,000 taels of gold to suppress the treasury, Datang's national strength will suddenly rise to a higher level.

There is gold in the treasury, and the waist pole is naturally hard.

"Say, is there any ten thousand gold?" Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and his face was urgent. "If there is no ten thousand gold, is there five thousand gold?"

Han Yue smiled, he didn't directly answer how much the emperor produced, but instead raised his hand and pointed forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a cross of the Liao River and advance two hundred and twenty miles to the east and north, where there are mountains and ravines, and there is a Qingshui River in the middle. That place is where two gold mines are located, and there are mines in the mountains, and mines in the water......"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of surprise: "Two gold mines are actually in the same place?" ”

"Not bad!" Han Yue nodded, he glanced at the emperor, and lied: "The minister wandered in Liaodong a few days ago, and accidentally discovered these two mineral deposits, because the terrain is very similar to two mountain peaks with a navy blue fur, so the minister named it Jiapigou." Those two gold mines may as well be named Datang Jiapigou Gold Mine in the future. ”

His words are simply shameless, if later generations of geologists listen to them, they will immediately jump up and spray him with spittle. Jiapigou Gold Mine is one of the top ten gold mines in China, when Japan invaded Northeast China, it was mined by violent methods for more than ten years, and the veins were not exhausted at all, and it can still be mined until after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"It's only two hundred miles from here?" The emperor became more and more surprised, chased after Han Yue and continued to ask, "Have you explored the veins, can you roughly estimate the output?" ”

"What's the output...... Han Yue groaned, he didn't dare to tell the true reserves of this mine, lest the emperor hear it, and said cautiously at the moment: "The minister roughly estimates that it should be no problem to mine three or four hundred catties a year." ”

In fact, this is greatly discounted, Jiapigou gold mine is a super rich mine, and it can be mined at least 1,000 catties a year. Even so, Li Shimin still gasped and muttered: "Three or four hundred catties, three or four hundred catties can be mined in a year......

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly came out of the crowd, this Tang Hubu Shangshu was more concerned about the sustainability of the gold mine, he also grabbed Han Yue's arm, and asked eagerly: "I don't know how many years this mine can be mined?" ”

Han Yue scratched his head, he really didn't want to tell the truth, but not to mention that everyone would find out in the future, so he could only grit his teeth and say loudly: "This mine is a long river sandwiched between two mountains, and the amount of reserves is incalculable, anyway, the minister will definitely not be able to mine it in his life." If the future minister marries and has children, and the children have grandchildren, and the grandchildren have grandchildren, my great-grandson will still be able to rely on this mine to eat and drink. ”

The implication is that this mine can be mined for several generations.

The eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded and muttered: "You are only sixteen years old this year, and your great-grandson can continue, so wouldn't the gold mine be a hundred years?" Even if the output is calculated according to 300 catties a year, it will be 30,000 catties, 300,000 taels ......."

The Tobe Shangshu's eyes were straight, and his beard was trembling with excitement.

Han Yue snickered in his heart, and said secretly: "Where are you going for 30,000 catties?" An emperor plus a Tobe Shangshu, his eyes were glazed with shock. If you know the true deposits of the Jiapigou Gold Mine, I'm afraid you will be scared and faint. ”

Later generations have statistics, Jiapigou gold mine is known as the cradle of China's non-ferrous metal industry, since 1845 began mining, a total of hundreds of tons of gold output, if converted into the Tang Dynasty of Jin Liang, it is tens of millions of taels.

Han Yue didn't dare to say this number, he was afraid that the emperor would go crazy, and he was even more afraid that the Liaodong Kingdoms would go crazy when they heard the news, after all, that place now belonged to Goguryeo, and if they wanted to mine gold, they had to seize that place first.

Although he tried his best to cover up the true output of gold, it was a pity that he still underestimated the attraction of gold, Li Shimin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the emperor showed a hideous posture in front of him for the first time in history, and said viciously: "Fight, no matter what country that place belongs to, I must beat it down, even if it is half of the Tang Dynasty, I will fight ......"

Han Yue cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, that gold mine was discovered by the minister, and the minister just now kept mobilizing the soldiers' military spirit, which mine he wanted to open himself. ”

Li Shimin gave him a vicious look.

The eldest grandson Wuji jumped up and kicked it, and scolded: "Stinky boy, this time you don't want to eat alone, no matter how much Your Majesty and the queen love you, I won't let you." ”

He is Han Yue's uncle, and he is qualified to fight and kick. The eldest grandson Wuji is actually kind-hearted, ostensibly reprimanding Han Yue, but secretly persuading.

Such a huge gold mine must be in the hands of the emperor, he was afraid that Han Yue would commit a taboo, and when the time came, the father and son would definitely turn their faces again.

Mandatang not only recognized the eldest grandson Wuji as smart, Li Tao was not stupid, and Cheng Biting Jin was not stupid, the two princes walked to Han Yue's side one after the other, and said in a low voice: "Jingyang Hou, gold mining is a major matter of the country, you can't be fat and forget your public when you play." ”

"Then what should I do to develop the Northeast? This place has been uninhabited for thousands of years, and if you want to develop, you have to invest a lot of money, and without the gold produced by the gold mines, how can I have the money to develop here? ”

"I will give you the treasury, and 20 million yuan of national protection funds will be given to you for nothing, okay?" Li Shimin snorted angrily, he really loves Han Yue very much, this kid is good at everything, but he is too greedy for money.

"Twenty million guan ......" Han Yue gasped, he really didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, but he immediately reacted, and said a little unwillingly: "No matter how much dead money you have, it's dead money, and it's gone when you spend it, and the gold mine that the minister found is living money, and it can be mined for hundreds of years." ”

Li Shimin laughed angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Then how about I make you the lord of the vassal state again?" Liaodong is huge, as long as you can fight down, I will allow you to build a country and call you the king of Bohai......"

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the audience was silent, and everyone was stunned except for the eldest grandson Wuji, who had known about the matter for a long time.

Datang, there has never been a vassal state!
