Chapter 306: The Rush to the Sea
A cold snap from north to south put Chang'an City into winter mode overnight.
The crowd of people walking in a hurry on the street all put on thick winter clothes.
However, the spread of a piece of news filled the hearts of the noble people of Chang'an City with fire.
The fishing industry in the East China Sea has discovered a silver mountain in the Wa Kingdom!
As for Cheng Chumo's big mouth, such an important discovery, naturally after returning to Chang'an City, he followed the boasting of his family, and then came to the palace of the King of Chu to tell about everyone's great achievements.
In this way, the matter of Iwami Silver Mountain naturally spread quickly.
"Li Zhong, what happened to Shijian Yinshan, but is it true?"
The city of Chang'an has already spread the word, and Li Shimin naturally heard it.
"Your Majesty, it's true. The subordinates have just received a report from the Baiqi Division, this stone saw the silver mountain, it should have been discovered several months ago, it is said that when Cheng Dalang and they returned to Beijing, there was a daily output of more than three thousand taels of silver. ”
Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Li Kuan was really shit luck.
Randomly sent a group of people to look for it in the Wa Kingdom, and they actually found a super large silver mine.
Even I can't help but think about whether to send my son to Guanshishan Academy to study, maybe when I can follow some light.
"I always thought that Datang was rich in products and outstanding people. I didn't expect that a small country would have such a huge silver mine. It seems that the development of maritime trade that Kuan'er said before is really promising. ”
"Your Majesty, although the East China Sea fishery was established by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, most of the components have been given to His Majesty and the imperial court.
Li Zhong rarely took advantage of Li Shimin's happiness and also slapped a sycophant.
"That's what I said, but I also made an agreement with Kuan'er at the beginning, and he had the final say on the matter of the East China Sea fishery. Even if there is an innumerable amount of gold and silver in this account, as long as it is not distributed, it will not be able to enter the inner treasury. ”
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.
Li Kuan arranged it as if he was coveting the East China Sea fishery at any time.
Am I that kind of person?
……
Five-in-one.
In recent times, Guo Dezhi has been under a lot of pressure.
Diandu Deli overwhelmed Wuheju and became the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City, and even fewer people came to listen to Guo Dezhi's storytelling.
In the past few days, there has been news that the East China Sea fishery has discovered a super large silver mine in the Wa Kingdom, and Guo Dezhi's eyes immediately lit up, and he felt that he had found a very good subject.
This kind of story similar to treasure hunting, I have said it before, and the response is very good.
It's just that ordinary people don't easily exaggerate treasure hunting, so the subject matter is very difficult to find.
Now the legend of Iwami Silver Mountain is undoubtedly the story that Guo Dezhi wants the most.
It only took three days of hard work, and the story called "Treasure Hunt for the Wa Kingdom" has already been brewed in Guo Dezhi's heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a story that Xiao Lao'er wants to tell you today has a close relationship with the Iwami Silver Mountain that has been in a uproar in Chang'an City recently. Let's say that to the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, there is a country composed of many islands......"
Many guests who were eating in Wuheju unconsciously stopped their chopsticks.
As the most famous storyteller in Chang'an City, Guo Dezhi is very good at grasping the rhythm of storytelling, and he is very comfortable with how to arouse the emotions of his audience.
It's just two or three days of work, and Wuheju's business is actually 30% better than usual.
The storytellers of other restaurants, seeing that "The Treasure Hunt of the Wa Kingdom" was so popular, immediately launched similar "Iwami Silver Mountain Treasure Exploration Secret", "The Story of a Silver Mountain", "The Story of Iwami Silver Mountain and I Have to Tell"...... The content of the storytelling.
If there is a hot search list, then Iwami Silver Mountain is undoubtedly a well-deserved headline.
……
In the middle of the order, Guo Yang and Deng Feng sat happily in the private room and tasted the new dishes.
"Brother Guo, the sales of timber in the past few days are about to catch up with the whole month of last month, especially those giant trees, which were originally falling in price for two years in a row, and now there is a trend of rebound, which is really happy."
"The situation on my side is similar, in the past, several shipbuilding workshops that used to directly purchase timber by themselves suddenly began to ask me to buy wood, especially the kind of wood suitable for shipbuilding, almost as much as there were."
Since they suffered a big loss when they built Daming Palace, Guo Yang and Deng Feng can be said to have slowed down several times before they recovered.
If it weren't for the promotion of cement, and some people with old ideas didn't like to use it, Guo Yang and Deng Feng probably wouldn't have survived today.
"Actually, the people who come to me to buy timber are basically used for shipbuilding. In recent years, there have been a lot more shipbuilding workshops along the Weishui River, but I didn't expect so many people to be ready to build ships now. ”
As a timber merchant, Deng Feng is naturally very concerned about the changes in shipbuilding workshops, which are large users of wood.
According to his understanding, there have been a lot more shipbuilding workshops in Datang in recent years.
Under normal circumstances, in the next few years, there will be no new shipbuilding workshops established, who knows that the plan will not catch up with the changes, Iwami Ginzan's discovery has completely stimulated the enthusiasm of the noble family to participate in overseas trade.
This time it's the East China Sea fishery, and next time it might be me.
There is no need for a super large silver mine like Iwami Silver Mountain, as long as an ordinary silver mine is discovered, it is enough for a family to be excited.
……
Dengzhou Thorn Mansion.
"Chun Yu envoy, there have been a lot of strange caravans from the direction of Chang'an in the past few days, do you want to send Xu officials to investigate and see what these people are here for?"
Chun Yujia, as the head snake of Dengzhou, is very well-informed.
"Investigate what? What is there to investigate here. As soon as Cheng Chumo and his gang came back, I knew that the opportunity to make money had come. ”
Chun Yunan showed a smile of mysterious confidence.
"An opportunity to make money?"
Chun Yubo didn't reflect it for a while, and it was hard to say what Chun Yu meant.
"Yes, don't just be jealous of the discovery of a big silver mine in the East China Sea fishery, you have to think about everyone's reaction after the news spread."
"Could it be that you have frequently arranged for your subordinates to buy ships in various shipbuilding workshops during this time, and it has something to do with this?"
Chun Yubo is not stupid, and quickly thinks of the various actions of the family recently.
The shipbuilding workshops in Dengzhou Prefecture, but all the ready-made ships, no matter what kind of ships, were all bought by Chun Yuyi.
Tong Suo's price is not bullied, and no one can say what is not coming.
Even the boats that are still being built in some workshops, as long as they are willing to buy them, make people make a deposit.
Those noble families in Chang'an City, but if they want to go to sea as soon as possible, if they don't buy a boat for themselves, don't think about how many ships they can buy in a short time.
Chun Yu Nan couldn't help but smile, "That's right, for today." Remember, if someone wants to buy a recently bought boat, the price will be increased by 30%! ”
