Chapter 81 Establishment of a county

Wenyi shook his head: "How is it possible, how can I be this kind of person?" Just a silver mine was discovered. ”

Li Shimin became interested at this time: "Go on." ”

Literature and art: "Our copper and silver mines in the Tang Dynasty are all owned by the imperial court, but this one in Dongying is our own!" And according to my rough investigation, the output of this silver mine is extremely high, and if it is fully mined, it is enough to be comparable to the entire silver output of Datang! Uncle, do you know how much I brought back from this trip? ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened and said, "Don't go around in circles, hurry up!" ”

Wenyi smiled: "I brought back four hundred and fifty tons!" That's 10.7 million taels! ”

Li Shimin was really shocked now! More than 10 million taels of silver! What a huge amount! Li Shimin stood there for a long time before he slowly came to his senses, and picked up the teacup tremblingly, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring the cup to his mouth. Wenyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he helped him hold the teacup steadily, Li Shimin drained it in one gulp, grabbed Wenyi with both hands and asked, "More than 10 million taels?" Silver? Pure or silver? ”

Wen Yi forcibly endured the pain in his arm and said, "Pure! I've refined it. It's the output of this half year, and when we went, Su My Clan hadn't shipped the silver away, so we picked up the ready-made! Uncle, you put me down first, I can't stand it anymore. ”

Li Shimin let out a stupid "oh", and then began to circle in the study, chattering incoherently: "More than 10 million taels, more than 10 million taels!" How do I spend it..."

After a long time, Wenyi was about to fall asleep, Li Shimin grabbed him again, hugged him and said: "Xiaoyi, you are my lucky general!" I'm going to reward you! By the way, Shu'er is all your person, and you don't need to see your family much, well, you can get married now! ”

Wenyi looked at Li Shimin, who seemed to be crazy, and was speechless for a while, and hurriedly comforted Li Shimin with a few kind words, and finally became normal. Li Shimin said: "This news is a bit fierce, I want to go back and digest it well, and I will talk about other things tomorrow, I will go back first." With that, he walked out the door.

Wenyi finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, if he drove the future Tian Khan crazy because of more than 10 million taels of silver, it would be a big loss! It's a pity that he rejoiced too soon!

As soon as Li Shimin turned around and took a step, he fell to the ground gorgeously because his left foot tripped on his right foot! Wenyi was shocked, and hurriedly helped Li Shimin to send him to the bedroom carefully. After personally handing over Li Shimin to the hands of his eldest grandson, he really left with confidence.

The next day, Li Shimin took a month-long vacation on the grounds that he was unwell. Pull literature and art to the dormitory early, why is it a dormitory? Because the eldest grandson was also crazy after hearing the news, the couple pressed Wenyi and asked in detail what happened.

Li Shimin then said: "Well, yes, since you are pretending to be a pirate, then we can rest assured that we can spend this money boldly!" ”

Wenyi said: "Now that our ship is parked near Dengzhou, how do you think we can quietly transport the silver back?" ”

Li Shimin was surprised: "Why don't you ship it to Shanghai?" ”

Wenyi explained: "There are too many helpers over there, I'm worried that there are spies from other families inside, not to mention the others, there must be a lot of people from the Xiao family, and it's not safe there." ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Yes, this is more secure, and the matter of transporting the silver will be handed over to me, which is a trivial matter." I'll go with you. ”

On the same day, Li Shimin put on the support of the King of Qin, and took Chang'an to pick up ten special combat trucks that were ready to go straight to Dengzhou near Meixian. Day and night, the news came out that Li Shimin heard that there were Kun haunts in the waters of Dengzhou, and wanted to catch one and come back to celebrate His Majesty's birthday.

After fifteen days of hurrying, Li Shimin and Wenyi finally arrived in Dengzhou, and when they found the docking point of the "Shu'er" overnight, Li Shimin couldn't wait to go into the cabin to see the silver. As soon as Wenyi got on the boat, he heard a wolf howl erupting in the cabin, and it seemed that Li Shimin was crazy again. I heard that people who get rich overnight will have several revenge impulse consumptions, and Li Shimin proves this sentence very well. Let Qin Wu and Qin Liu pick a basket of silver, the special combat team members lined up, Li Shimin grabbed a handful of silver and stuffed it into the arms of the team members, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "Hard work!" Take it to buy some clothes and good food for my wife and children. The team members knelt down on one knee to express their emotion, and on the surface everything seemed so good, especially those newly recruited team members who saw that the silver was all issued in baskets, and they were even more determined to follow Li Shimin with all their hearts. And the fifty veteran team members who came down from the boat thought to themselves that Boss Wen was reliable, how come many of you can send two baskets, but we are one basket for one person! Although we are loyal to Your Highness, Your Highness is really stingy...

Of course, Li Shimin didn't know all this, he was still immersed in the loyalty of his subordinates and the state of getting rich and couldn't extricate himself. After all the factors were packed into the car, Li Shimin followed Wenyi to the sea again, after all, the news had been released, and if he couldn't really catch a whale and go back, he wouldn't be able to lie.

After Li Shimin personally caught a whale with a crossbow from eight bulls, Li Shimin completely fell in love with whaling, which also caused Li Shimin to no longer look down on hunting activities, thinking that shooting rabbits and tigers was not exciting to hunt! (During the Tang Dynasty, the ocean was not developed at all, and the global population was very small, so there was no such thing as a protected animal.) Now whales are protected animals and cannot be killed, please don't try it if you have ideas! Doing so would be a bargain! )

In the end, Wenyi returned to Shanghai by boat, and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an with the spoils of war. After Wenyi arrived in Shanghai, he heard that the whales entered Chang'an, which was a sensation, from His Majesty Li Yuan to the octogenarians who went outside Chang'an to admire the whales that were too big to enter the city gate. Li Shimin took advantage of this to brush up on another wave of popularity, and the prince was so jealous that he couldn't do it, so he went out to catch a Dapeng and come back. Literary laughter no longer cares.

The shipyard with literature and art immediately reflects the unparalleled cohesion, and the shipyard with money is even more bursting with amazing potential. The number of workers has expanded to 7,000, and 10 docks have been built. Small traders and hawkers also flocked to the city, and soon a new town was on the scale.

Wu Jun Taishou Xiao Jingye politely came to Wenyi to discuss the establishment of the county. The name also thought of calling "Huating County", literature and art listened to the music, Huating County was originally Tang Tianbao ten years (751 years), Wu County Taishou was established, I didn't expect it to be advanced because of his arrival, but literature and art insisted on using "Shanghai" as the name of the county. Xiao Jingye was greedy for the merits here, and immediately agreed, and he reported the county affairs to the court, and then Wenyi selected officials from the Xiao family to serve as county commanders.

Although the matter is not big, the signal is extremely obvious, and the court is also a battle of forces, and finally the Xiao family led all ethnic groups in the south of the Yangtze River to completely join Li Shimin and successfully established Shanghai County. The strength of the prince's family was greatly damaged, and I heard that Li Jiancheng was so angry that he killed many eunuchs in the East Palace.
