There is a Shu gold mine in Luzhou Mountain, except for more than ten generations of Tong San's fat ancestors, almost no outsiders know, this is the secret of the Tong family, of course, you can't say it casually, if it weren't for Tong Sanfat's drunken gaffe, Nan Jiyun would not have known about it.

Before dawn, the stars in the sky were still hanging high, Nan Jiyun rode a fast horse, left Hulu Valley, and ran towards Luzhou City.

Thirty miles is not very far, but it is not too close, when Nan Jiyun rode his horse to the gate of Luzhou City, the sky has begun to brighten, and the sound of bells and drums in the city also happens to be heard.

This means that a new day has begun, and the gates of the city gates and the squares in the city have been opened one after another, and the people who were waiting outside the city gates have entered the city one after another.

Nan Jiyun had no intention of appreciating this scene, so he rode his horse into the city and went straight to Tong Sanfat's residence.

At this moment, Tong Sanpang has already gotten up, businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, as the shopkeeper of three wine stores and five copper shops, he has too many things to take care of personally, and some core things, such as finance, are handed over to anyone, he is not very relieved, only he can rest assured that he personally controls it.

The copper mines outside the city had not been there for a while, and it was time to go over and supervise them, and he was also planning to build a brewery, so that the three breweries he opened would not have to be restocked from other people's workshops, which would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

People's greed is endless, the poor who have no money want to have a rich life, and the rich people who have money want to be richer, everyone is constantly chasing interests, and life is kidnapped by greed unconsciously, and Tong Sanfat is obviously such a person, he is full of thinking about how to get rich, how to grab more benefits.

"Ah Lang, Nan Jiyun is here."

Tong Sanfat, who was thinking about how to open a brewing workshop, was suddenly startled and said in surprise: "Nan Jiyun? What is he here for? ”

As soon as he thought of the fifty times he had forgiven Nan Jiyun's debt a few days ago, his heart ached inexplicably.

"Ah Lang, Nan Jiyun seems to be in a hurry, I'm afraid there is something big?"

Tong Sanpang was shocked again, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, tell him that I will be there soon." ”

As an image-oriented businessman, Tong Sanpang must tidy up his clothes before he can meet customers, and it would be rude to go out to meet customers in white underwear.

"Nan Jiyun, what a rare guest! Serve tea! ”

Tong Sanpang was apprehensive, but on the surface, he was full of smiles and polite.

"Tong San Fat, you got up quite early."

Nan Jiyun has a relatively straight personality, and when he saw Tong Sanpang coming out to meet guests so soon, he obviously got up a long time ago.

Tong Sanpang looked helpless: "I'm born to worry about my life, three wine shops and five copperware shops have to worry about me, I can't help it!" Isn't it all about survival? ”

Nan Jiyun looked disdainful: "Tong Sanfat, you are rich enough, you don't have to pretend to be poor in front of me." ”

Tong Sanpang pursed his lips and smiled wryly.

Nan Jiyun took a sip of tea and said straight in: "Tong Sanfat, you have worked hard enough to run so many wine shops and copperware shops, if you mine the gold mines that your ancestors once mined, you will definitely earn more money than now." ”

"That is, the profits of the gold mine far exceed these, if you can find the gold mine, why do I have to work so hard to get up early and be greedy for darkness." Tong Sanpang replied casually, suddenly stunned, and looked at Nan Jiyun in surprise: "Gold mine? What gold mines? How did my ancestors ever mine gold? ”

Looking at Tong Sanpang's wandering eyes, Nan Jiyun looked disdainful: "Tong Sanpang, you don't have to hide it from me, you told me these things personally, when you were drunk." ”

"When you're drunk?"

Tong Sanpang looked crying, folded his hands, and prayed: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the descendants are not ......."

"Okay, Tong Sanfat, clean up and follow me to Hulu Valley, General Li wants to see you?"

"General Li wants to see me?"

Tong Sanpang thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and said with a light in his eyes: "Gold mine, is it a gold mine?" ”

Nan Jiyun didn't hide it: "That's right, I found it, and it's in Hulu Valley." ”

"It's actually in Hulu Valley, where people have always lived before, there are hundreds of households, why hasn't anyone found a gold mine?"

Tong Sanpang regretted greatly, because Hulu Valley has always been inhabited, he never thought that it would be where the gold mine is, and he has not gone to explore, at this moment, although the gold mine has seen the light of day, but it is not he found it, at least, it is impossible for him to swallow it alone, which makes him feel a little regretful.

With a rather complicated mood, Tong Sanpang followed Nan Jiyun to leave Luzhou City and march towards Hulu Valley.

"Nan Jiyun, General Li is looking for me, do you want me to be in charge of gold mining?"

On the way, Tong Sanpang couldn't help but ask.

"The general just asked me to come to you, and didn't say anything else, but you can try for it."

Tong Sanpang nodded, and secretly made up his mind that he must win the mining rights of the gold mine, this is a gold mine! The gold that comes out of mining is worth more than copper.

Thirty miles away, for horseback riding, it didn't take much time at all, and soon, they entered the gourd valley and went straight to the direction of the cave in the east valley, Nan Jiyun knew that Li An must be near the mine at this moment.

"Where's the general?"

Nan Jiyun looked at the Longwu Army General who was guarding outside the mine cave and asked softly.

"Nan Jiyun, you're back so soon."

Li An was walking towards the outside of the mine with a few generals, just in time to hear Nan Jiyun's voice.

"General, Tong Sanfat brought it."

"The grass people have seen the general in three fattens."

Tong Sanpang had a smile on his face.

"Tong Sanpang, what's your real name?"

Tong Sanpang was stunned for a moment: "General, the grass people call Tong Sanpang, Ye Niang has called me that since I was a child." ”’

"Huh! It's a good name, too. ”

Li An smiled and looked at Tong Sanpang: "I heard that your ancestor is the captain of the Shu Kingdom, and he is mining gold in the Luzhou area, is it true?" ”

"General, this matter has been passed down from generation to generation by the grass people, and it can't be wrong."

Tong Sanpang patted his chest and promised.

Li An nodded: "There are some things, Nan Jiyun has already told Ben General, but he doesn't know too much, Ben Jiang still has a lot of doubts that can't be solved, I hope you can tell Ben General the whole situation of this gold mine." ”

"Yes, General, the grass people dare not hide it."

Tong Sanpang didn't dare to refuse, and told all the stories about the gold mine.

As the Si Jin lieutenant of Shu State, Tong Sanfat's ancestor Tong Tie can be said to be extremely competent, he carefully mined gold mines, and provided a steady stream of wealth for the Shu court, so as to ensure that Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and Jiang Wei Jiu invaded the Central Plains, had enough financial base, and made great contributions to the Shu State.

But with the fall of Shu, their fate changed, after Jiang Wei surrendered to Wei, he wanted to revive Shu Han, and concealed the matter of the gold mine, so that Tong Tie continued to increase mining efforts, so as to provide him with a wealth base for reviving Shu Han, Tong Tie also followed Jiang Wei's request, and fantasized that the Shu Han Empire could have a day of revival, but Jiang Wei did not succeed, his efforts failed, and died in the chaos.

As soon as Jiang Wei died, there was no hope for revival in Shu, how to dispose of the large amount of gold hoarded, and what to do with the mines? Whether to take refuge in the Wei State, or to fall into the grass from now on and continue to oppose the Wei State.

For a time, the 300 yuan crossbowmen and the 1,000 miners were all panicked, and everyone had any kind of ideas, but everyone persuaded anyone.

Some loyalists believe that as the people of Shu, they should be loyal to Shu, and should not take refuge in Wei and swear to defend the dignity of Shu, but there are also surrenderers who feel that the unification of the world is the trend of the times, the first emperor Liu Bei and Prime Minister Zhuge have passed away for many years, and the later lord Liu Chan is a villain Yuanxianchen, and the number of people in Shu is exhausted, and there is no need to compensate for the Shu regime, after all, even the emperor Liu Chan knelt down and surrendered and went to Luoyang to enjoy happiness, what are they still tossing around?

People are patriotic, but at the same time they are also afraid of death, this is human nature, in the case of the Shu regime has no hope at all, most people are unwilling to accompany the burial of Shu, they prefer to take refuge in Wei, continue to live a worry-free life.

Of the three hundred Yuan Rong crossbow soldiers, less than 100 of them are the diehards of Shu Han, and a thousand miners are all eager to live forever, to be the people of Shu or Wei, for them, it doesn't matter at all, as the lowest people, they don't care about this, they just want to be able to live.

Most of the people demanded to join the Wei state, which was necessary for their continued survival, and the voices of the few die-hard factions seemed very small, and although they were angry, they were helpless.

Tong Tie, the captain of Si Jin, was a die-hard faction of Shu Han, and the fall of Shu made him extremely hateful to Wei, and he would rather destroy the gold mine with his own hands than let Wei get this wealth.

After careful consideration, he found nearly 100 Shu Han diehards and hatched a cruel plan, he would take more than 1,300 of his subordinates and disappear with the gold mine, so as to completely cut off the possibility of Wei obtaining the gold mine here.

The die-hard faction was extremely resolute, vowing to keep the gold mine secret rather than death, and decided to start the operation the next day.

That night, Tong Tie told his wife and children to leave quickly, go as far as possible, and never come back, thus making his wife and children the only survivors.

His wife and children walked halfway and had a premonition that Tong Tie might do something stupid, so they immediately rushed back, and when they returned to the mine, they only heard a loud bang, and the entrance of the mine collapsed.

The woman and the child could not afford to move so many boulders, so they had to cry outside, and at the same time, they faintly heard the sound of weapons clashing inside, and then puffs of smoke drifted from the cracks in the rocks at the entrance of the cave, and there was a smell of burnt corpses.

As for what happened inside, only the more than a thousand corpses inside knew.

In order to make Tong Tie die, the women and children never leaked the matter of the mine, and even did not tell their descendants the specific location of the mine, only said that it was in the mountains near Luzhou.

After listening to Tong Sanpang's introduction, Li An and others suddenly realized that Tong Sanpang's ancestor was actually a loyal minister of Shu, which made Li An quite admired.

However, there are still some questions in this, so Ang Lee has to continue to ask.

For example, the all-copper Zhuge repeater and all-copper crossbow arrows, in addition, why are the arrows made of copper.

Tong Sanpang also explained these problems, the all-copper Zhuge crossbow was given to Tong Tie by Zhuge Liang, and told him that if the Yuanrong crossbow soldiers dared not listen to the order, they could shoot them with a golden crossbow, first cut and then play, which is a symbol of power, however, Tong Sanfat's ancestors have been circulating the 'golden crossbow and golden arrow' but he didn't expect it to be copper, and the gold is too expensive, which is obviously unrealistic.

As for a large number of arrows, why is it a copper cluster head, Tong Sanpang also said, this is because of the lack of resources in Shu, almost all the pig iron has been transported to Hanzhong to create the Northern Expedition weapons, there are a lot of copper mines in the south, and copper is not easy to rust, in places that do not need to be used often, the use of copper cluster heads is more cost-effective.

Figuring out a series of problems in the gold mine, Li An finally breathed a sigh of relief, although these things did not have much impact on the mining of gold mines, but after all, there were so many corpses in it, and Li An was uneasy if he didn't figure out the reason.

"Tong Sanpang, there are more than a thousand corpses and bones in this mine, your ancestors should be in it, although you can't tell who your ancestors are, but these people all died here because of your ancestors, and they are all your ancestors' subordinates, all of them are your predecessors, so it's better to bury them all together!" Build a large tomb in the East Valley. ”

Tong Sanpang nodded excitedly: "I didn't expect that the grass people could still see the bones of the ancestors, thank you to the general for building the tomb, the grass people will **** the sacrifice, for the ancestors and his subordinates." ”

Li An looked at a Longwu military captain: "Immediately dig a big pit there, move all the bones in the mine, and build a big tomb." ”

"Yes, General."

Captain Longwu received the order and immediately mobilized his officers and men to start working.

Removing the bones in the cave, the next step is naturally to mine the gold mine, Li An looked at Tong Sanpang beside him, and said softly: "In the early hours of this morning, Ben will ask his subordinates to find the owner of the Li mine, he said that the cost of mining gold is at least half of the price of gold, and the rest of the profits, he is willing to share it with the imperial court, he has four shares, and the imperial court has six shares." ”

Tong Sanpang chuckled violently in his heart, it seemed that someone had taken the lead, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the Li mine owner in the south of the city?" ”

"That's right, it's him."

"General, his heart is too dark, the gold mine is not as good as the copper mine, the mining cost is at most two percent of the price of gold, maybe not even two percent, he actually said that he wants half, this person is not sincere, you must not hand over the gold mine to him."

Tong Sanpang pouted and said bad things about the owner of the mine.

Li An grinned and said softly: "In this way, the cost is only twenty percent, and the imperial court gets thirty percent, and he Li Mine Master actually gets fifty percent, which is more than what the imperial court gets." ”

"That's right, the one surnamed Li is too dark, and he actually has more than the imperial court."

Tong Sanpang said affirmatively.

Li An was completely happy, he was a little suspicious of Tong Sanfat's IQ, no matter how he dug a pit at will, he could be blinded.

"Tong San Fat, thirty-seven shares, in addition to the cost of twenty percent, the remaining profit part, you divide it into three parts, and the Tang Dynasty court divides it into seven shares, okay, it's decided, you go to find someone, ready to start work at any time."

Tong Sanpang suddenly looked confused. (To be continued.) )
