After receiving Fang Langzhong's letter, the waiter of the Ministry of Works was very relieved, and inadvertently, saving one person could bring such a great benefit.

It is absolutely impossible for you to swallow it privately, and there are many eyes and ears in the court, and if you swallow it privately, it will be ruined.

Lord Shangshu has been out of business lately, so he can only report to His Majesty tomorrow morning.

The squire walked back and forth in the hall, while thinking, the court has increased its use recently, and the household department has obviously been stretched, if this matter is completed, then the status of the Ministry of Industry will naturally be greatly improved in the eyes of His Majesty! The squire's eyes shone brightly, and he looked extraordinarily energetic.

The next day, on the temple, the second child of the Li family asked the household department again about the various uses of the western expedition to the Turks and how they were prepared.

The head of the household waiter replied: It's still preparing.

"The preparations are reported all day, and there is also half a year, and today the household department must give me a clear answer."

The household servant hurriedly bowed down: Your Majesty, this year, disasters have been reported in various places, disaster relief must be provided everywhere, and the major halls in the palace still need to be repaired.

Seeing the embarrassment of the household servant, Li Lao Er couldn't fight if he was angry, and he was helpless! Tobe Shirou has almost become a two-skinned face, no matter what he says, that is, he has no money.

"Don't always stress the difficulties, you have to think of a way.

Fang Xuanling came out and said: Your Majesty, the world's corporal agriculture and industry and commerce, after experiencing the exploitation of the former Sui, it is really miserable! I am fortunate that my Emperor Gaozu dominates the country and is beneficial to others.

However, in the Gaozu Dynasty, His Majesty was fighting in the east and west, and the court was also stretched! It wasn't until I was chaste and watched the dynasty that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment! I collect taxes according to the number of people, until the age of last year, the investigation and verification of the people is complete, and the household department is indeed in difficulty. “

"Every time it's a cliché, I haven't come up with a real solution, I need to use troops, if we don't solve the hidden dangers in the west, how can the world be stable."

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister has a play!" When the waiter saw that the fire was coming, he should have stepped forward.

"Do you have a solution?" The second child of the Li family looked at the waiter of the Ministry of Works with a suspicious expression.

"Your Majesty's grace, the temporary solution, the minister can't do anything."

"Then what are you going to say!" Li Lao Er almost got up and cursed, and there was no way to say anything.

"Chen received a report from Fucheng yesterday that Tomson had discovered a large gold mine in Tongguan under his rule."

"Gold mines? Whether what is said is true. ”

"Tomson has brought the golden sands here."

"Bring it on!" Li Lao Er looked extremely excited, this was too unexpected, if there was such a good thing every day, his dream of being a Khan would not be far away.

The second child of the Li family looked at the yellow golden sand, and his eyes kept shining.

"I just said where the gold was found!" I just heard the word gold mine, but I didn't hear the specific place clearly.

"Tongguan, the Tang County Order has arranged for people to guard the local area."

"Tongguan!" The second child of the Li family fell into deep thought.

When the second elder of the Li family went eastward, he once passed the strategic place of Tongguan, and as the east gate of Chang'an, he was too touched! The boat at the Fengling Ferry, the wind on the Yellow River, the neighing of war horses, the brightly armored warriors, and the ambition to cross the Yellow River all lingered in Li Laoer's mind one by one.

Hearing the words of the Ministry of Works, the eyes of the head of the household department also lit up, this is a sleepy person handed a pillow, and he has a headache all day long, isn't there a solution to this, why don't you have such good luck.

"Your Majesty, listening to what Tang County said, gold mines generally have derivative ores, such as silver, iron, lead, etc., and even coal mines are produced in many places."

"This Tang County seems to be still able to be an official, I have such knowledge, the Ministry of Officials, why didn't you report the assessment in previous years?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Fucheng Tang County, in the assessment of previous years, is also in the forefront, diligent and loving the people, the people under his rule are simple, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials have all been recorded."

"Tang County has made great contributions to the imperial court, and the officials will observe it, if there is a vacancy, they will be promoted and appointed, and people like this who are worried about the imperial court need to be reused."

"Ma Zhou, didn't you propose that the assassin history in August should be personally selected by me, and the county order should be recommended by officials above the fifth grade in the capital, does anyone recommend Fucheng Tang County?"

Ma Zhou listened to it, how could he still have his own affairs, and hurriedly reported: Fucheng Tang County, has served in the county order for five years, and he is really a capable official, and the officials have reported in previous years, but in the past two years, there is really no vacancy, so there is no promotion.

Ma Zhou is worthy of a good brain, the history of the counties around Chang'an, and the resume of the county order are remembered so clearly.

"Such capable ministers, if it were not reported by the Ministry of Industry today, I would have almost neglected to overlook, and I would have returned to the Ministry of Officials to carefully examine them, and if there is a suitable position, I would immediately promote and appoint them."

"The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War immediately organized people to mine the Tongguan Gold Mine as soon as possible, and this matter was planned by the Minister of Housing."

Fang Xuanling was napping there, there wasn't much to do about himself today, plus he got up too early, so he was really sleepy! Hearing that Li Lao Er put him in charge of this matter, he hurried back.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what is involved in mining, I'm afraid I will live up to Your Majesty's holy hope!"

The old slippery head, the second child of the Li family thought in his heart, when it comes to asking for money, these people are always pushing back and fighting, afraid of making mistakes. Also, in recent years, I have asked for money a little more, and the emperor's family has no surplus food, and the days without money are really difficult.

"Fang Xiang, involving the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, it is still up to you to plan it uniformly, I only need to progress! Ministry of Works, you have to follow up on the specific matters with all your might, and give me an answer as soon as possible. ”

"The squire of the Ministry of Works, the prime minister, stay for a while, I have something to discuss, and retire from the court."

It's all said and done, and Fang Xuanling can't push it anymore!

Lang Lang and Fang Xuanling of the Ministry of Industry followed Li Lao Er to the back hall, and the Li family's second child couldn't wait to ask: Lang Qing, has Fucheng Tang County explained how big the scale is?"

The surname of the Ministry of Labor is Lang, the life is eternal, and the word Shichang.

"Back to Your Majesty, they have just begun to investigate, and they feel that the matter is important, so they immediately reported it to the ministry, and the specific needs to be inspected by the Ministry of Industry to know the specific scale! However, I heard that someone once picked up a dog's head gold on the riverbed. “

"Doghead gold, did you pick it up this time?"

"Not really, but the golden sand on the riverbed is very common, and we can start panning for gold from the riverbed and then mine the gold rock."

"Lang Qing is responsible for the specific matters, and I won't ask in detail."

"Fang Xiang, involving various ministries, needs Fang Xiang to mediate, build a road to the mining area, who to appoint, the number of mining, and transport to the imperial court, this matter needs to be done by Fang Xiang."

His Majesty is in the eyes of His Majesty, so he looked at each other and replied: It is within my share of worries for Your Majesty.

Li Ming continued to recuperate in the county, he didn't know that the waiter of the Ministry of Industry transferred this matter, and almost all the credit was given to this Tang County.

Li Ming thought that if he wanted to gain benefits in the gold mine, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky, Tang County, and the squire did not dare to make a profit from it, let alone himself! After reporting to the imperial court, the Ministry of Industry will take over directly, and local officials are not allowed to intervene.

I just waited until I was healed.

Li Ming asked Tang County to notify the Xiao Bo family in Lujiazhuang, saying that he still had something to do in Fucheng! I'll be back soon.

After Fang Langzhong and Tang County received the reply from the Ministry of Works, they immediately arranged for people to start their gold panning journey according to the map drawn by Li Ming.

The waiter of the Ministry of Works has his own ideas, what is the benefit, of course, he has to give himself first, Li Ming is a country boy, even if he operates like this, he will not have any ideas.

Killing people and killing people, that's not it, Li Ming's status is too low, just a farmer, this person still can't look down on it.

When the gold mine is found, the saint is happy, then there is no need to say anything.

Tang County Ling is forty and seven this year, which is the age of the officer, although there is no retirement in the feudal era, but Feng Tang is easy to get old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal things still happen from time to time, and when the court wants to use you, you are older! So when I was still young, I ran more relationships, and if I could, I hurried up.

Officialdom has always been heavy on profits, although the local officials' income is not high, but they can't stand other aspects of income, they want to be promoted and make a fortune, they need capital, so there are three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes and silver. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of officials was relatively clear, but the matter of flies and dogs also happened from time to time.

With the map drawn by Li Ming, Tang County quickly found Shajin, there were still many people with great strength, they went up from below, and intermittently found many small streams flowing through and accumulating shallow water beaches, which did have Shajin in them.

Tang County and Fang Langzhong did not dare to slack off, and immediately repaired the book, and sent it to the Chang'an Ministry of Industry for six hundred miles.

After Lang Shilang received the letter, he didn't dare to slack off, and after discussing with the monk, he reported to the minister together.

Fang Xuanling is more cautious about this kind of news, and his years of political career make him not sad for himself or happy for things.

"Lang Shilang, let's plan first, and then report to Your Majesty."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sand gold has just begun to be discovered, and the specific content has not yet been discovered, whether there are still gold veins in the mountain, and these can only be reported to the saint after these ascertainments.

Otherwise, just this little bit of sand gold will not solve the urgent needs of the imperial court. “

"Fang Xiang, the Ministry of War needs to impose martial law around the Tongguan Gold Mine, and the Ministry of Household also needs to assist from the side, which is mediated by the Minister of Labor and Fang."

"It's okay, I'll arrange it."

Tongguan is located in the north of Tongguan County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, bordering the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south. "Notes on the Book of Water" contains: "The river flows south of Tongjiguan Mountain in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan. ”

In the Qinling area of Tongguan County, there are many minerals such as gold, silver, lead, graphite, marble, vermiculite, etc., which are widely distributed and rich in reserves. According to today, the stone carvings of the mine cave of the Northern Song Dynasty "Chongning three years" were discovered!

Li Ming thought in his heart, future generations should not complain, he advanced the mining time of Tongguan gold mine by more than 400 years.
