Section 11: Yunfu Night Banquet (4)
"Nanzhao has copper?" Xu Jingzong didn't hear what Yun Ye said behind him, he only heard Yun Ye say that Nanzhao has copper, Datang's copper mines are very few, Longyou has a little, Jiangxi South Road has a little, recently found iron ore in Liaodong, accompanied by a little copper ore, Yi'an, Yongxing County is the place where Datang produces the most copper ingots, still can't meet the demand for copper in this huge empire, the Central Plains has a deep feeling for copper since ancient times, thinking that its color represents the noble, sacrificial tripod, the most noble is not gold, jade, It is bronze, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even the Two Han Dynasty, and the metal that represents the word gold is copper.
"Yes, Nanzhao's copper mine is very large, even more than the sum of all the copper mines in my dynasty, and its origin happens to be in the territory of Meng Shelong, there is another advantage, that is, the road is ready-made, the road opened up when Zhuge Liang crossed the Lushui is still in use, the ancients said well, elephant died because of teeth, people are guilty of their crimes, with such a huge copper mine, Meng Shelong does not attack the Tang Dynasty, he must attack, he can't live, because His Majesty wants copper."
After the Yun family's caravan came back from Nanzhao, he said that Nanzhao has been very cheap copper recently, and hoped that the head of the family could allow the caravan to purchase some back, and the ritual utensils at home needed to be replaced with larger ones, after the shopkeeper reported the news, Yun Ye immediately thought that the copper mine there had been known by the imperial court, Li Er wanted to Meng Shelong's head, and the purpose of not allowing surrender was to monopolize the copper mine, he didn't want to share his interests with anyone, and there was no need.
"In that case, you should invite those big guys over and what are you going to do with these young people? They know a. ”
"Lao Xu pay attention to your demeanor, you are a scholar, don't become vulgar when you hear about a few pennies, you don't want to think about it, can those old guys come out? Arrived at my house. Eat and drink for nothing and then slap your ass and leave, and it's not such a way to beat a dog with meat buns.
Furthermore, I would like to find out who gave His Majesty the idea, and after you see that the copper ore is discovered, it will be mined immediately, and the imperial court will use the copper ingots stored in the treasury to start minting a large number of copper coins. It will be hard to bring down the price of copper, and when the time comes, those who exchange the copper coins at a high price will suffer a big loss, and only the court will benefit, so my family will exchange all the copper coins at home for silver, and your majesty will eat meat, let's drink some soup.
There is a shortage of currency in the bank, and the Yun family saves all their family's money in the bank, which is called worrying about the country. As for whether I save silver or copper coins, what does it matter, the important thing is this heart, the Yun family has always been so patriotic. “
Xu Jingzong wiped a handful of spittle stars that were sprayed on the face by Yun Ye, and arched his hand in admiration and said: "Yunhou has a patriotic heart that can show the sun and the moon, please allow the Xu family to follow all the way." ”
Yun Ye smiled and said, "While His Majesty didn't give me a gag order, he can still say it to you, wait until His Majesty reacts." After the gag order, I wouldn't say a word. “
Xu Jingzong thanked him again. Pointing to Duan Hong, who was looking around to find someone, he said: "The gag order is here, the old man goes over there to bring some food back, the old wife hasn't eaten a bite yet, poor ......"
When Duan Hong saw Yun Ye, he immediately walked over, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty wants the slave to ask you, you are not talking nonsense, right?" “
"What nonsense. I've been explaining to my brothers all night that I'm not as good as Long Yang, isn't that nonsense? Duan Hong turned his face and saw the prawns, which were his favorite things, found a plate and put a large plate on it, and said to Yun Ye: "Your Majesty said it." If you dare to discuss the affairs of Nanzhao indiscriminately, just wait to go to Nanzhao to be a mine supervisor, anyway, you have been in Nanzhao for a long time, and you have adapted to the climate there, right? His Majesty's words were brought, and the slave maid wanted to eat something well. With that, he took his plate and found a place where no one was around and began to chew.
Xu Jingzong walked home singing a little song with his hands behind his back, and the old servant was carrying a huge food box in his hand, and when he arrived at the door, Ma Jiuhu rushed out and shouted in a low voice, "Uncle." ”
"Uncle, my nephew saw that you and Yunhou have been talking for a long time, if it is a matter of getting rich, can you bring your nephew with you."
"What is the matter of making a fortune, my generation is an important minister of the country, how can I care about money, you are a fool of the horses all day long, you just don't know that you are dedicated to the country, you are still a noble son in vain, and you have no loyalty."
Ma Jiuhu's hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, and he hurriedly went back to the banquet, Xu Jingzong snorted sneeringly, why didn't the old man see your nephew when he was unlucky, and now he has come over, this kind of thing is less than one person knows about it, so why do you want to sue you?
The people who can give the emperor this idea can't be those old ministers, only young people, the old people haven't learned to use economic levers as weapons to clean up those greedy old thieves, the biggest possibility is from their own circle of friends, they were reused by the emperor at a young age, and they can't be successful without some talent, who is this catfish?
Yun Ye now likes this question, Di Renjie sent a cup of hot tea to the master and whispered: "I didn't find such a person, the disciple went through the students who like Qian Zhuang in the academy, and circled out four people, Shen Gonghai, Yuan Jia, Zhu Zong, Yao Si, these four people are all outstanding students of the third session of the academy, and they used to be in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, as a midshipman, but since two years ago, they have disappeared, these four people are friends who share life and death, and they have entered the eyes of the Hundred Horsemen Division in Yanlai Building, and the disciple holds your token, Only then did I check the archives of the Hundred Cavalry Division that had been sealed, and finally found that they appeared in Yaozhou and Rongzhou, all of them were experienced officials, and they were the most suspicious. “
Yun Ye laughed, smiling very proudly, he was ready to ignore this matter from now on, and treat himself as an outsider. Watching the development of the situation with a cold eye, whether it is successful or defeated, it depends on their means, since Di Renjie said that they appeared in Rongzhou and Yaozhou, then it is ten out of ten that it is these four guys who are making waves, their means are much stronger than people like Ma Zhou, they hide in the shadows, it is the emperor who comes forward, and silently calculates those rich people who are not benevolent, Li Er's vision of people is extremely accurate, and he will not sacrifice such a person rashly.
Since it's your own students who do it, let your husband evaluate their abilities, and do you want to create a little difficulty for them?
"Renjie, you can call the money of the family's savings bank, if you don't feel enough, borrow the money of the Niu family, and see if you can earn enough money for yourself, Xiao Wu's expenses are not small, if you want to support her, you need to make a lot of money, this is an opportunity, you brothers and sisters will play a game." All the money you earn this time is yours. “
"Master, you want to sabotage their plans?" Di Renjie looked at the master puzzled, he also thought that those who were rich and unkind needed to get a painful lesson.
"I didn't think about sabotage, I just made it a little more difficult for them, and you better operate in stealth. You should be familiar with the money bank's set, no problem, right? “
Di Renjie laughed, bowed to the master, and happily found a plate to find food, and with Xiao Wu added himself, he didn't believe that he couldn't play those four fools.
The dance on the desert was adapted by the Heavenly Demon Queen to become enthusiastic and unrestrained, with a little less obscene flavor. A little more rigorous, the orchids shook out 10,000 kinds of tricks on their buttocks and belly under the accompaniment of the vigorous tambourine, and the bewitching and mysterious snake dance made these even more jaw-dropping, and the woman's body could be so soft that it was as if there were no bones.
It is not only the male guests who are exclaiming, the female guests on the other side of the screen are the ones who shout, Xue Wanche is red-faced, the snake dance is the most able to tease the primitive desire of men, he has been out of abstinence since he returned to Chang'an, and now he is enchanted like this, which is simply a torment for a young man like him.
Fang Yiai also had a black line on his face, because he heard Gao Yang on the other side of the screen commenting loudly on this dance, and seemed to be still angry with Yunya, no matter what action the dancer made, he had to ask Yunya if she could do it.
"Oops, it's so shameless, Yun Ya, look at it, she put her ass on the head, can you make it? You've practiced this hand in the academy at the beginning, so why don't you try it too? “
"Gao Yang shut up, watch the song and dance well, such a beautiful dance can't stop your mouth." It was Xiangcheng who spoke, which made Fang Yiai breathe a sigh of relief, and Sister Xiangcheng was estimating that the two would not fight again.
Many nobles turned their disgusted eyes to Yun Ye, what are you doing, there is such a good thing, why do you want to bring your wife? The man's family watched in a circle, and it was better than pretending to be serious like now.
The Yun family has long stated that the dancing girl in the family is only responsible for dancing for fun, and nothing else will be entertained, everyone doesn't understand, the orchid is just a plaything, and those who are familiar with Yun Ye know that it is impossible for him to take over his personal pets, so it is not right to destroy the heavens.
With the improvement of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, foreigners really have no status in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, and orchids are equivalent to playthings, equivalent to gold and silver, this concept has been branded in the bones of the Tang people, and it is strange to treat them as a person.
If a man goes out to bring home one or two beautiful orchids, it's like buying two pet cats, if there are fierce wives in the family, their corpses will appear in mass graves in a few days, and be eaten by wild dogs, and the male owner will find that the orchids are gone, he will go to the market to buy one or two more and come back, and then the cycle continues.
The death of the Tang people is a major accident, the death of the orchid, no one will care, in fact, there is no care about the life or death of one or two pets. (To be continued......)
