Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's almost summer.

Liu Che was lying on the bed in Yiwu's dormitory, holding a report of the embroidered guards and looking at the recent events in Chang'an Guanzhong and the world reported by the embroidered guards.

The little man, who was just one and a half years old, lifted the peach and babbled vigorously in his arms.

After a while, she felt that the heirloom jade seal on the emperor's father's waist seemed to be very interesting, so she stretched out her little hand and tried to tear it off.

As a result, I can't pull it anymore.

Maybe she was bored, or maybe she had discovered a more interesting new world, Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Han family, muttered twice, climbed onto her father's chest, and stretched out her hand to grab her father's beard.

Then, she was suppressed.

"Don't make trouble, peach, don't make ......trouble" Liu Che grabbed this naughty little cute little hand, held her in his arms, pointed to Liu Aiji, who was crawling all over the hall, and said, "Go and play with your imperial brother......"

Now Liu Che is the father of several children.

But what he hurts the most is always this eldest daughter.

I don't know if it's because of genes, the Liu family has always had the tradition of the eldest daughter being the most expensive.

Liu Bang has the eldest princess Lu Yuan, Taizong has the eldest princess of Guantao, and Liu Che's generation, because Liu Che himself has no biological sister, so there is no eldest princess.

But after Liu Che had a child himself, he inevitably spoiled his eldest daughter.

Tao Tao is only one and a half years old, and Liu Che has already issued an edict to crown her as the princess of Wanyi.

In terms of specifications, it is only a little worse than the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, the baby heart of Empress Lu, and it is only the household of Tang Mu Shiyi, which is a full 3,500 households.

Not to mention that Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County. At the same time, it is also the base of the future Han heavy industry.

Just the tax commission, I am afraid that in the future, it will also be a place with an annual income of tens of millions.

Liu Che now has two sons and three daughters.

Yiwan gave birth to twins to him, Liu Taotao and Liu Ai.

Xia Rouge of the Huns gave birth to a second son to him last year. In addition, Cheng Zhengying's daughter Cheng Zhengxuan also added a daughter to him not long ago. and the beauty Zhao who used to be in the prince and palace also gave birth to a princess.

Originally, other concubines also gave birth to princes and princesses.

But unfortunately, the poor level of medical care and maternal and infant assistance in this era makes even the royal family dare not guarantee the safety of mothers and children 100%.

One corpse, two lives, that's a common thing.

Even if he is born, it is unknown whether he will live to the age of five.

Think back then, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in the country. It's not just Liu Che's father and Liu Wu's two sons.

But the other sons, especially the three eldest sons in front of Liu Che's father, all didn't see their father sit on the throne and reign in the world one day.

Therefore, Liu's son of heaven likes ******** mature women, and it is understandable that they are not taboo when they are raw and cooked.

The reason is very simple, when people give birth. Safer.

Among these five children, Liu Che's most favored and precious has always been the eldest daughter Taotao.

Not only because Tao Tao is the eldest daughter, but also because this little princess is so cute.

The remaining four inside. Liu Che pursued the educational concept that girls should be rich and sons should be poor.

Princesses can't really hold power in the future. So as much as you can be pampered, you can be as pampered. In this way, at least after marrying in the future. My husband didn't dare to bully, let alone raise a mistress.

As for the son......

Theoretically, everyone has the qualifications to become a prince.

Therefore, Liu Che's education plan for them is all aimed at cultivating the country's ruling class and the direction of the protagonist.

But now, these plans are all on paper.

Because even if he is the eldest son of the emperor, he is only one and a half years old......

However, when Liu Ying turned four years old, Liu Che already planned to put him in Shanglin Yuan to go to class, study, move, and play with the orphans in Shanglin Yuan. At the age of sixteen, he changed his surname and entered the Northern Army or the Southern Army to serve, and at the age of twenty, he was sent to a certain county in Guanzhong to serve as a husband or tourist.

The other sons are also arranged in the same way.

In this way, at least, the future prince will not be too wasteful.

Holding Tao Tao and putting her on the ground, this little public move soon found his younger brother, Liu Ai, who was crawling all over the ground.

"Brother, brother......" Xiao Gong raised his babbling and shouted, his little feet spread out, and he ran towards Liu Aiji.

This made Liu Che feel a little sad - even if it was his favorite and favorite Princess Taotao, he had only been with her for more than ten days in the past six months.

For Tao Tao, the father may just be a stranger who is somewhat familiar.

However, this is the price that must be paid as an emperor.

Squatting like this, watching the two brothers and sisters playing, Liu Che rarely enjoyed the joy of family.

However, this time is not destined to last long.

About half an hour later, Wang Dao, who had been waiting at the gate of the hall, walked in, walked to Liu Che's side, knelt down and played, "Your Majesty...... Xinhua 800 miles expedited report ......"

Liu Che casually took the seal handed over by Wang Dao, opened the sealing mud, opened it, and after just one look, Liu Che stood up, waved his hand, and immediately a maid and a nurse came in, holding the prince and the princess, and went to play outside the palace.

"Immediately upload the Marquis of Fenyin to enter the palace, and then order Zhi Jinwu to enter the palace as well......" Liu Che immediately gave an order: "Let them go to the side hall of the Xuanshu Hall and wait......"

"No!" The king took the order and left.

Liu Che walked into the inner hall and said to Yi Wu, who was busy picking vegetables with the maids and eunuchs: "Aifei, I have government affairs to deal with, so I won't eat here with Aifei, and in the evening, I will accompany Aifei again!" ”

When Yi Wan heard this, she was a little disappointed, for today, she had been preparing for a long time.

However, she has the traditional virtues of Chinese women, and when she heard this, she only bowed slightly, and sang: "Your Majesty worries about state affairs, although the concubine is a woman, she also understands that military affairs are more important than everything, Your Majesty go, the concubine is waiting in the palace......"

"It's hard to love the concubine......" Liu Che nodded, the righteous woman is good at this point, she is never obsessed, as long as Liu Che has something. will never be as cute and coquettish as other concubines.

For a man like Liu Che. Such a woman is truly worthy of pampering.

Leave the palace with her hands in hand. Riding the car, Liu Che went straight to the Xuanshu Palace.

Along the way, Liu Che took the note jointly sent by Bo Shi, the county guard and commander of Huaihua County, and the brothers Chen Xu and Chen Xu, and carefully read it countless times.

"A river full of gold sand......" Liu Che held his cheeks and fell into thought.

Liu Che's memory rolled up.

He remembered, as if, it seems, before the crossing. He once watched a TV series called 'Breaking into the Guandong', which reflected the content of the people who broke into the Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty to pan for gold and compete.

In fact, the Northeast and the Far East are very rich in gold deposits.

Liu Che once had a classmate, who was from the Northeast, and once heard him brag that in his hometown, there was an Laogou gold mine, which was said to be in the river sand that was fished up at the beginning of the discovery. Half of it is gold foam.

Even in modern times, the local sand has been searched dozens of times to find gold.

Later, Liu Che deliberately checked on the Internet, and it was indeed the case. In the history of Laogou Gold Mine, in just two years in 1883 and 1884, tens of thousands of gold diggers from home and abroad were used. Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold were stolen.

Among the other rivers in the Northeast, there are also many sections of rivers that can be used for gold.

Especially in this day and age.

Humans have never engaged in mining activities in this area. The local mineral resources are almost completely preserved.

From the beginning of the formation of the earth. The various mines that have been formed, as well as the resources that have erupted from the ground over the following billions of years of geological changes and various plate activities, have also been preserved intact.

As for the Far East of later Russia?

Liu Che raised his head and muttered: "This is a region that occupies more than 80% of the gold production of the Soviet Union and Russia......

"And it's also a gold placer mining area......

Placer gold ore and primary gold ore are the two main deposits of the earth's gold reserves.

Placer gold is more popular than primary gold mines.

The reason for this is that placer gold deposits are open-pit, all-weather gold deposits.

In later generations, the gold panning boats in the **** rivers were specially aimed at the gold placer.

As far as Liu Che knows, the Northeast and Far East regions, including the Greater and Lesser Khing'an Mountains, the Liaohe River Basin, the Heilongjiang River, the Tumen River, the Altaïr River, and the Yalu River, are all distribution areas of placer gold deposits.

According to the content and description of the report, Liu Che deduced that it should be the hometown of the Northeast classmate who once boasted to Liu Che - Laogou Gold Mine.

Laogou Gold Mine is in the northernmost part of the **** in later generations, that is, in Mohe County.

This was calculated by Liu Che based on the departure time and journey time of the Han cavalry reported by Bo Shi, and then from the location of Xinhua City.

If that's the case, it's kind of funny.

I don't know, two thousand years later, how that classmate will brag.

"The gold reserves of the Laogou Gold Mine are at least hundreds of tons, which can be mined ......for more than 100 years," Liu Che pondered in his heart: "Judging from the ratio of gold content to gold sand reported by Bo Shi, in the first ten years, it should be able to produce thousands of gold or even 20,000 gold placer gold every year......

This is still the reason for the backwardness of the current gold panning technology and level, if you are on the large machinery of the later generations, how can you be embarrassed to go out to meet people if you don't get a dozen tons or even dozens of tons a year?

In later generations, Maozi, however, produced seventy or eighty tons of gold every year in the Far East.

This is still the result of Mao Zi picking countless years later.

Even if it is thousands of gold, this is also a wealth that makes Liu Che a little restless. If it is tens of thousands of gold, it is enough for Liu Che to launch a large-scale expedition for this wealth.

There is no one who does not love gold.

Especially in the current era, as the only listed coin, the strongest general equivalent.

The value of gold is not just about its currency.

Rather, it is based on the health of the national currency that it determines.

A mineral deposit that can stably produce thousands or even tens of thousands of gold every year is enough for Liu Che to pay for the death of thousands of people every year.

Because, with this wealth, the economy of the Han family is very healthy.

It is also possible to rely on this wealth to carry out financial reform and even implement the gold standard.

This wealth was so tempting that Liu Che could hardly resist the urge to nationalize it and bring it into the hands of the Shaofu.

And doing so, at the moment, is completely cost-free.

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Theoretically, let alone the gold mine, the weeds and firewood in your backyard are the private property of Emperor Laozi.

Legally speaking, these things are just the old Liu family's mercy and approval of the people of the world.

However, Liu Che forcibly suppressed his impulse.

"Compared with the land...... Liu Che told himself in his heart: "Wealth, gold, what is counted?" Even the chief of Maudun knows that gold can be given up, women can not do without, and BMW can also be given away, but alone, the land cannot be negotiated, and there is no room for negotiation! ”

"How can I be as good as Maudun?" Liu Che took Bo Shi's report and persuaded himself in his heart.

In his eyes, this river valley that was discovered and suspected to be a gold mine in Laogou was the key to helping him digest and control the newly acquired thousands of miles of land in the shortest possible time.

"An Laogou gold mine is enough to make people crazy...... Liu Che knows very well, such as today, how crazy is the obsession with gold.

For example, Sima Xiangru's good friend, that is, the Linqiong County Ling Wang Ji who played a double reed with Sima Xiangru in history and deceived Zhuo Wenjun.

This person was active for a very long time in history, almost throughout the period from Emperor Wu to Emperor Xuan.

lived for a very long time, and even left the idiom of 'Wang Yang reigned, Gongyu played the crown'.

There is even 'the owner has a tree, Wang Yang's woman goes, the east family finishes the dates, and the woman goes to return it.' Such a good story.

However, when Wang Ji was young, his most famous stories were not these, but the stories of being watched by hundreds of rangers when he was in Chang'an.

Here's the thing.

At that time, Wang Ji was invited by his good friend Sima Xiangru to come to Chang'an to play.

At this time, Wang Ji was already famous.

The rangers of Chang'an also heard of his reputation, but why did they still watch him, and even make Jing Zhaoyi have to go out?

The answer is that the rangers feel that the legend of Wang Ji has always been an honest official, and his sleeves are clean.

However, the carriage he rode in was magnificent, high-end and high-grade, and the liehous were not as good.

The clothes he wore were gorgeous and extravagant, and even two thousand stones were not as magnificent as him.

So the question is - Wang Guitar is not corrupt, he is not playing, and his reputation is great, where does his money come from?

As the saying goes, 'the world obeys its incorruptibility and blames its luxury'...... and then 'it is commonly thought that Wang Yang can be made of gold'.

They all thought that Wang Ji had learned alchemy and could turn stones into gold.

Therefore, the rangers hope that Brother Wang will not be stingy, and be happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone, and take everyone to get rich together.

This story was recorded in the Book of Han and became a mystery through the ages.

Not only the people are crazy about gold, but the emperor Lao Tzu is no exception.

Historically, Emperor Wu Xi Fangshi, in addition to hoping for immortality, just wanted to rely on the alchemy of Fangshi to succeed.

The big liar Luan Da seized the psychology of Emperor Wu to fool him, and the master of the ministers said: Gold can be made, and the river can be stopped, the medicine of immortality can be obtained, and the immortals can be caused. Emperor Wu, who didn't know chemistry at all, was fooled by Luan Da and even married his daughter, becoming the first big wrongdoer in history. (To be continued.) )
