Needless to say, the preciousness of the vein gold resources is needless to say.

However, there are two disadvantages, with the current smelting technology, it is not easy to extract the vein gold and associated ore completely separately, which will produce a lot of waste and complicated procedures. Of course, it is much better than placer gold slowly panning in the river sand, and there is a large amount of vein gold deposits, even if it is a small vein gold mine, they are clustered together.

In addition, vein gold deposits are mostly associated with strong radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, potassium and radon, and the content is often very high.

However, this is also easy to solve, let the miners wear masks, gloves, and adopt the method of taking turns to mine to reduce the mining time of each miner.

But it doesn't mean that Zhang Quanzhi will go back immediately.

It was not easy to come to the capital, Wang Ju also lacked helpers around him, there are many talents in the capital who can serve as servants, but there are not many people who can be trusted.

This can send someone to inform, and with the last ship, the other side will receive various precautions in a few months.

Wang Ju had another kind of mineral deposit in mind.

The other side is rich in mineral resources, just like Luzon, which has a large number of copper mines, and there are even more mineral resources in mainland Australia. But at present, it is still dominated by gold, silver, copper, iron and tin.

The other is the various jade mines.

China's jade mine is Khotanese jade in the narrow sense, and the jade in the broad sense includes Nanyang jade, Xiuyan jade, agate, crystal, etc., and the other is jade, but now the jade is still hidden in Tengchong Mansion, no one recognizes it. Finally, there are all kinds of gemstones, pearls, pearls are not the kind of pearls that were artificially cultivated later, but real sea pearls, and the gems are all-encompassing, red sapphires. The pearl of the night. emeralds and so on. If it is divided by the color of the origin material. can be divided into thousands.

However, the latter is not produced much in China, and most of them are imported from overseas.

The jade deposits on the other side are also abundant, especially a novel gemstone opal, Wang Ju was also worried that the Song people would not accept it, but the truth was better than he expected, as long as the color was pure and bright, it could be sold for a good price.

It's also a major source of income for the other side.

However, after getting the news of Maijin, Wang Ju thought of a mineral deposit with extremely bright colors. That is uranium ore, which is not only brightly colored, colorful, but also has a variety of beautiful postures. What's worse is that the ore reserves on the other side occupy more than two-fifths of the world, and many of them are shallow ores!

If they come across this kind of deposit, the craftsmen will inevitably think that it is a novel jade, and then mine it and process it seriously......

Well, everybody will be sad.

Therefore, Wang Ju wrote down the form of this dangerous mineral deposit with pen and paper, and also drew some shapes. Maybe you can't, but that's the best. What if you run into it?

Don't mess with them......

This is just a small note, it is true that it is dangerous, but compared with copper and iron resources, and even compared with gold and silver resources, the reserves are too small, and the probability of encountering them is even more minimal.

So after Wang Ju finished writing, he began to ponder how to use this good news.

The next day, Wang Ju continued to be on duty.

In the Song Dynasty, it was very comfortable to be a Beijing official, in addition to the previous court, you must enter the court at three o'clock in the fifth watch (equivalent to six o'clock in the morning), then you must leave at home from five o'clock, freshen up and change clothes, and then arrive at the waiting courtyard to wait for the eunuch to pass the decree.

However, the morning dynasty only has one time every few days, and on duty in normal times, it is at dawn before leaving home, and in the afternoon, it is early to get on duty. Moreover, there were many holidays in the Song Dynasty, and it was convenient to ask for leave if they were not feeling well or had something to do at home, so the actual working hours of officials were often only four or five hours a day. For the past four or five hours, half of the time has been chatting and drinking tea.

On this day, Wang Ju "stole" a lazy time, finished the affairs in his hand early, and said to the three of Lao Wang: "Princess, I still have something to do at home. ”

Lao Wang said: "If there is anything, go back." ”

So Wang Ju almost had lunch and went off duty.

But Wang Ju did not go back, but came to Zhao Niannu's mansion.

"Zi'an, why are you here?" Zhao Niannu was surprised and delighted, and when he came, he was naturally very happy, but Wang Ju, as the ruler of the Chinese book, ran to the house of a widow princess, which was very bad......

"Come and sit down."

"Then sit down, concubine, and make tea for the prince."

The concubine went down to prepare to make tea.

"Wang Ju, just right, I still want to say something."

"What?"

"The official asked me to inquire how many ships you have in your hands."

"Ah, how do you answer?"

"I didn't say no, I didn't say yes."

"Your Highness, if your majesty asks again next time, you will say that there are about a hundred ships."

"Okay."

"In fact, the official family really thinks too much, if it is land, or the transportation conditions are convenient, the imperial court can still govern. But so far overseas...... How was the imperial court governed? ”

This is really the original word, if it is really in the hands of the imperial court, it may really be ruined. Moreover, Wang Ju intends to promote another system, and if it can succeed, it will be the best mirror of the Central Plains. However, it was impossible for this system to be promoted in the Song Dynasty, even if Wang Ju became the emperor. Many conservative ideas and relationships are deeply entrenched.

In this way, it is better to let go, and then the two help each other and benefit each other.

But can Wang Ju say these words?

Zhao Niannu didn't think much about it, and said, "Wang Ju, you also promised this princess ......"

"Do you really want to go?"

"I want to take a look."

"Your Highness, wait a little longer, if you are really willing to give up the prosperity of the capital, then go and take a look. In fact, some areas on the other side of the river have developed well, and some real small towns have begun to appear, and the population of some small towns has almost reached more than 1,000 households, but I have come today to ask His Highness to invite the official family to discuss one thing. ”

In fact, it is not impossible for Wang Ju to ask for a direct audience, and there are two reasons why Zhao Niannu asked him to speak.

I just have an affair with your aunt, what about you?

But it's really not a big problem, Zhao Ji already knew. Besides, people have seven emotions and six desires, and Zhao Niannu is not a saint.

So when Zhao Ji came to Zhao Niannu's mansion, he saw his aunt with a hint of flush on her face, and he didn't know what to say.

Secondly, Zhao Ji's personality is a little suspicious.

So later Vaxia. Let Gao Zunyu serve as the coach. Is it true that Zhao Ji doesn't know the talents of the generals in the northwest? Even if there is no Wang Ju to push. The wars of the Song and Xia dynasties and Wang Shao's management of the Xihe River. Many generals have already fought out.

There is also the later dispute between Xu Chong, why Xu Xi can have the upper hand, one is Wenchen, and the other is that Xu Xi is one of Zhao Xu's cronies.

Well, we're also related.

Also, there are some things, which are easier to talk about on the occasion of Zhao Niannu's house. At least not as solemnly as in the palace.

In the end, it is for next year's arrangement, but it also depends on it, if Zhao Ji can really trust him 100% and give him rights, there is no need for him to implement that plan.

Zhao Ji was still suspicious, and Zhao Niannu said shyly: "Official, Wang Xianggong, you speak, the concubine retreats." ”

"Wang Ju, you ......!"

"Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, please come to your majesty. It's about saying something important. Wang Ju immediately told the story of the vein gold mine.

As soon as he heard so much gold, Zhao Ji was immediately diverted.

"I should have sent officials in there." Zhao Ji said regretfully.

"Your Majesty, then I will lead the navy south at this time."

"Navy?"

"How to get to the other side without loading a fleet of ships."

Zhao Ji was stupid, it wasn't from Dengzhou to the other side of Liaodong, there were only a few hundred miles away, and the wind blew to arrive. Attack such a distant shore with a fleet of ships?

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, why can't you enforce the Qi Shang Tax? Why don't you let all the heroes truthfully report their hidden fields? Nature is the same. Besides, it is far away, where everything is all opened up by those maritime merchants with the people, unlike our dynasty, it is the country that our ancestors fought out of life. If just because of the discovery of a gold mine, the imperial court will take it back, will those maritime merchants be willing? If they are not reconciled, they will expel the officials, and the imperial court will inevitably send officers and soldiers to suppress it. However, apart from the ministers, who has the ability to reach the other side of the road more than 10,000 miles? ”

"Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold a year."

Wang Juwei did not say the specific amount of reserves, and with the current measurement technology, the data obtained is also very non-standard, and the reserves may only be hundreds of thousands of taels in the end, and may end up being millions of taels. Therefore, it is only said that it is possible to produce about 200,000 taels of gold a year.

However, if it is folded, it will be more than 5 million yuan, and even if the smelting and transportation costs are removed, it may exceed the income of the green seedling loan. How could Zhao Ji not be moved?

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it, in fact, in the opinion of the ministers, there are two ways, one is to exchange them back with the commercial goods of our dynasty, a process of exchange, all kinds of commercial taxes, and the extraction of the city's shipping department, which is actually equivalent to the court recovering one-fifth of the income, but what the court has paid is only the investigation of some officials and the labor of officials. Second, the imperial court can relax the migration of the people. What is most lacking on the other side now is the population, and I believe that after they get this news, they will definitely donate a batch of gold. As long as these two measures are implemented, the minister believes that most of the gold will eventually be collected into the treasury by His Majesty. ”

And it won't be long.

This time, at Wang Ju's suggestion, the officials of the prefectures and counties will thoroughly investigate the number of ordinary households in the territory, and at most one month, the court will know how many people are in the whole country and how many people are destitute.

I believe that the total number of households after this time will surprise all officials.

When the population is really growing so fast, there is no pressure in everyone's hearts? Moreover, Wang Ju repeatedly talked about its harm.

In addition, there is another data that is checked by various states and counties, that is, the price index of various places and the output of various commercial goods.

Wang Ju and Li Chengzhi worked together to list more than 200 kinds of prices related to people's livelihood, and then asked state and county officials to send officials to verify the fluctuations of these prices in recent years.

With these data, it will be possible to completely rectify the science and distribution of various states and counties, and it will also be conducive to the reasonable adjustment of the transit divisions.

At the same time, it is also conducive to the rectification of ministers' money.

A simple example, such as Su Dongpo's appointment from Huangzhou to Ruzhou.

There are two routes, one is to go directly to Ruzhou by land, and then hand over to the officials of Ruzhou, and Ruzhou is the governor of Ruzhou. There is another route, which is the route he chose, from the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal, and then from Bianshui back to the capital, and then to Ruzhou.

Officials come and go, and the imperial court allocates the minister's money, but how far can he go from the land to Ruzhou, and Su Dongpo was guilty at that time, so how much envoy money can be allocated.

However, because Su Dongpo may want to be comfortable, or Su Dongpo may want to go back to the capital to mix a familiar face, but because he doesn't know the price index, he chose the waterway, which requires hiring a boat, not to mention hiring a boat, you have to eat and drink on the road. In addition, he did not have any savings in his own hands, so the money was almost used on the way, plus the weather was cold, the whole family was cold and hungry, and his son died of illness, so he had to stop the boat and write to the court for help.

In fact, there was still a chance for Dasu, and Liu Shiyan, the Taishou of Sizhou, was very repressive of Dasu's talent, and when he heard that Dasu was coming, he was entertained with good wine and food, and took Dasu to play around. Then the two came to the Huai River pontoon bridge between Sizhou City and Duliang Mountain, and Dasu wrote a poem in high spirits:

Looking north at Pingchuan, wild water barren bay. Looking for spring together, flying and walking.

The wind makes the sleeves, and the fragrant mist lingers. When the wine is drunk, people are laughing and laughing, and the white clouds are among them.

Fei Hong falls and the photo will return. Light Juanjuan, Yuyu is idle.

Whoever has nothing to do, the banquet sits on an empty mountain. Looking at the long bridge, the lights are chaotic, so that the king returns.

Mrs. Liu was shocked when she saw it.

Because this pontoon bridge is not allowed to be crossed casually, for the safety of the city, if the common people cross the bridge at night, they will be punished with two years of hard labor. It's just that Jianghuai has been in peace for a long time, and Liu Shiyan doesn't want to disturb the people, so he adopts an attitude of turning a blind eye to the people crossing the pontoon bridge at night.

However, when the word Dasu came out, it was Liu Taishou's dereliction of duty.

The more Liu Shiyan thinks about it, the more right he becomes, it goes without saying that Dasu is talented, look at how well this poem is written. However, he is a real pit friend than his mouth. So he entertained and immediately sent the baking soda away.

If there is no such poem, with Liu Shiyan's admiration for him, a little help, then the sadness of losing a child a few days later?

Of course, as a bold and romantic talent, he will not be too calculating in spending, which is understandable.

But if there is this statistic, then Dasu can see the cost of the two roads, will he continue to choose the waterway?

So some people are troublesome, Wang Ju said, without investigation, there is no right to speak! (To be continued.) )
