In the underground vault, not only gold is stored, but also the best jade, Tianhuang, and bloodstone collected through various channels are also stacked on the shelves against the wall according to different sizes and types.

In addition, there are some simple and elegant objects, which belong to antiques even in the era of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why it has not been obtained in modern times is that it is afraid of trouble, and secondly, there is a technique called carbon 14 detection in modern technology.

With this technique, although it is not possible to specify the existence time of the item to a small range, it is still very useful within a certain range, so it has become a very effective scientific method for identifying the authenticity of antiques.

After inspecting his harvest during this period of time, and asking Wang Youde to divide half of the output of the gold mine to Chang'an City, Li Anran took the other party back to the ground, and then transferred to another warehouse.

Compared with the "fortress" that was divided into above ground and underground just now, the warehouse I went to this time was obviously much more normal. Except for the larger scale, larger capacity, and the use of a steel frame structure, there is nothing unusual about it.

In the semi-open storeroom on the floor, there was neither gold, silver, jewelry, nor household goods, but wood. Thick and long timbers are stacked in different areas depending on the type.

Some of the timber was cut directly from the Taibai Mountains, while others were collected from timber dealers and official sources. The variety is not much, but the quantity is put there. And the diameter and length of the breast are large enough.

When the trees were cut down, all the ordinary timber was disposed of and used for the development of the shopping street and the seowon. What can be left behind are varieties with more economic value such as yew.

As for the timber bought through official channels, the value is naturally higher. What red sandalwood, sea sandalwood, flower plough, etc., have all been brought in by Li Shimin's light, but they have not been sent to modern time and space.

Li Anran plans to sell these timbers through his own registered leather bag company, offshore company, transit warehouse and trading company, and take the right channels to sell in China. Moreover, the business of selling timber will be somewhat of a regular business for trading companies.

Compared with the previous items such as gold, jade, antiques, Tianhuang, and bloodstone, the sensitivity of wood is obviously much lower. Anyway, the amount of similar wood imported from abroad is very large every year, so as long as you are careful, there will be no problem.

Just after Li Anran inspected the timber that had not yet been accumulated enough for a cargo ship to transport. asked people to invite Cheng Chuhei to him.

"Young Master. What are the commands? Cheng Zhihe, who is accustomed to the current identity of the nursing home, bowed his hand and said.

"Come, sit down." Pointing to the upholstered stone bench opposite, Li Anran said.

This wooden pavilion was built outside the lodge. Most of it has been blocked by screens from the lower people. At the same time, a fire was lit in the pavilion. Although it is far less comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room. But for Li Anran, who has an excellent physique, and Cheng Chuhei, who has rolled on the battlefield, such conditions are already very good.

What's more, on the stone table, there are not only wine and food. And there is also a hot pot that has already boiled the soup. Even if it is in the cold season of spring, it is enough to make people want to enjoy the scenery in this mountain wilderness.

"That's the case, I'm going to ask to take over the job of Steward Wang, I don't know what Cheng Huyuan thinks." After sending the people away, after personally pouring a cup of scalded sake for the other party, Li Anran said.

"Take over the job of Steward Wang?" Cheng Zhihei, who was stunned for a moment, asked.

As for what kind of work Steward Wang's eldest lang is engaged in, one of the tasks is to observe the entire movement of Xiaoyao Villa, Cheng Chuhei naturally will not be unclear. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to let me take over the job.

You must know that after Lu Dao discovered the gold mine in Zhouzhi County before, it didn't take long for the news to be discovered by the secret spies below. As a member of Cheng who is in charge of affairs on the surface, he only learned about this matter after the fact.

As for this gold mine, Li Shimin, who is under the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has no intention of nationalizing it at all. At the request of the Knowing Minister, the decision was retained that the land had been given to someone and that the mine belonged to the other party.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing that Li Anran used the magical machines and means of the upper realm to make the process of mining and refining gold much easier, and even the output was much higher, no one dared to do anything crooked.

But now the other party proposes to let him be in charge of the affairs over there, does this mean that he wants to return the treasury to the saint, or does he want to use the grace of the saint to instruct himself and those internal guards to work for the other party?

"That's right, it's to take over the stewardship of Steward Wang Dalang there, and after you take over, all the things such as mining, refining, and accounting will be handled by you." Li Anran, who had somewhat guessed what the other party was thinking, nodded and said.

"I don't know what the young master is doing?" Knowing that this matter is not something that he can call the shots, Cheng Chuhei asked.

"My idea is very simple, although this vault is in my cover, but as the old saying goes, under the world, it is not the king's land. I think that after Cheng Huyuan took over this job, half of the gold generated each month would be handed over to the inner treasury as taxes. Li Anran, who knew that it was useless for the other party to nod his head, said.

"Half of the gold produced each month shall be paid into the treasury as a tax?" Cheng Chuhei, who thought that the other party would hand over the gold mine directly, couldn't help but be a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

Since the other party has even thought of a reason to hand over the gold, why should he be this villain. Anyway, I can't make the decision on this matter, so it's better to report it directly and let it be decided by the above.

"Young master, it's a matter of life, and you have to think about one or two." I almost can't be the master and write Cheng Chuhei directly on his face, Zhengse said.

"It's okay, Cheng Huyuan can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, if you take over one day late, you can pay this tax one day later, and if you don't agree, I can save this money, which is not a bad thing. Li Anran, who knew what the other party's so-called consideration meant, said with a smile.

"In that case, please let me think about it first." After drinking the wine in front of him in one gulp, Cheng Chuhei, who didn't move his chopsticks, said.

"Go, go, let's go, remember to come back for a while, think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was going to send a letter to Chang'an, raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.

Just a few minutes after Cheng Jiji left this wooden pavilion, he saw a fast horse carrying a big man who was also dressed as a courtyard guard galloping in the direction of Chang'an City.

When this latest news was sent to Li Shimin, Li Datianzi, who had read the contents of the secret report twice, couldn't help but show a smile on his lips. Then he asked people to call the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde.

"Let's take a look." After everyone arrived, Li Shimin, who had finished approving some of the folds, passed on the previous secret report and said with a smile.

Although he didn't know what was said in the secret report, looking at the smile on Li Shimin's face, the four courtiers led by the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"What do you Aiqing think about this matter?" After the four of them read the secret report, Li Shimin asked.

"The minister thinks this matter is very good." As the head of the civil officials, the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Oh? Auxiliary, let's talk about it. Li Shimin, who was noncommittal, said.

The minister thought that although this pure yang real person did not hand it in at the first time when he discovered the gold mine, he did not hide it. And it is also explained that this gold is mined for the purpose of refining magic weapons for the sect. Now that he is willing to hand over half of the total amount of gold, and has offered to pay taxes in the name of taxes, the minister really can't think of anything wrong with this move. "Although he has always been wary of someone, this time the eldest grandson Wuji failed to see what disadvantages this matter had for the Tang Dynasty.

"Well, Xuan Ling, what do you think?" Li Shimin, who nodded, asked again.

"Holy Lord, the minister also feels that there is nothing wrong with this matter." Fang Xuanling, who finished expressing his opinion, had a look on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Xuan Ling, what's the matter, but it's okay to say it." Li Shimin, who knew the temper of this courtier, said.

"Holy Lord, the minister has something to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Keming's body is getting worse day by day, and the minister wants to ask the saint to let Chunyang Zhenren diagnose and treat Keming." Fang Xuanling, who got up directly and made a big salute, pleaded. (To be continued......)
