Chapter 248: The old man is more slippery than you

There is no doubt that King Kim Baek-jeong of Silla lost all initiative in the face of the powerful Tang Dynasty.

Under the threat of annihilation, Jin Baijing was very unwilling to hand over the already proven Silla resource distribution map to Fang Xuanling, and at this time he didn't even dare to put forward any more opinions that were beneficial to him.

Of course, the Tang army will help him suppress all unstable factors.

Although it seems that all this is fair, but Jin Baijing's heart is called a sorrow, this taste is really who experiences who has feelings!

At the same time, Fang Xuanling, who got the resource map, couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Does the king of Silla have any reservations?" Pushing the resource map in front of Li Yuanjing, Fang Xuanling's face was pale.

Facts have proved that in front of this resource map, either the king of Silla is lying or Lee Wonkyung is lying.

"Wouldn't you send someone to investigate in the future? Minerals are not something you can get clear about after staying for a long time, and it is already very good to get three gold mines, three silver mines, and five copper mines. Li Yuanjing shrugged his shoulders indifferently, what else is there to be dissatisfied with this result?

The only thing that I was not satisfied with was probably the annotation that the king of Silla marked on the map.

The output of these mines is not high, the total annual output of gold mines is estimated to be about 1,000 catties, the output of silver mines is higher, but it is only about 3,000 catties, and the output of copper mines is less than 20,000 catties a year.

"Do you know how much money Datang can get in the end according to these marked outputs?" Fang Xuanling's heart was broken, although he didn't calculate carefully, he knew that this transaction might be a loss.

"According to 20,000 catties of copper, one catty, six catties and four taels, about 3,125 guan, according to the exchange ratio you set, one or two introductions are consistent, 3,000 catties of silver is about 48,000 guan, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten guan, one thousand catties is about 160,000 guan, and you can earn more than 200,000 guan a year!" Li Yuanjing pouted and patiently counted the account.

Maybe he didn't believe it himself, 50,000 troops went on an expedition to Silla, and as a result, he could earn more than 200,000 guan a year?

The food and drink of the army alone is more than this money, in order to maintain the survival of these 50,000 people, the imperial court is even likely to have to put nearly one million yuan a year.

But the cost is not calculated in this way, and the mining costs, smelting costs, transportation costs, etc. are also considered, so the actual amount will be less.

No wonder Fang Xuanling was so angry, the imperial court thought that he had found a golden pimple here, but he didn't expect that his own golden pimple would not be enough to fill in.

Li Yuanjing scratched his head slightly embarrassed and explained, "How can the mining efficiency of the Silla people be compared to that of the Tang Dynasty? This king has a few suggestions, Brother Fang, you can consider it, the first one is to mobilize some experienced mining talents from the country, let them be responsible for the mining here, and the workers will use Silla people, which is cheap and easy to use, and the status is slightly higher than that of prisoners of war.

The other is to keep sending people out to find out the news to see if they can find new mining areas.

As for the last one, it is very likely that Silla's investment will be lost, but this is not the case, as far as this king knows, Goguryeo is the real fertilizer, even if the minerals of the entire Silla are combined, it may not be as good as the output of a gold mine in Goguryeo......"

"I think your guts are fatter than the gold mines of Goguryeo!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Yuanjing angrily.

Of course he understood the meaning of Li Yuanjing's words, but for this idea, he could only shake his head speechlessly, if he really did this, Datang's appearance would be too ugly.

"Hehe, this king is just a suggestion, whether you say it or not, whether you listen to it or not, of course, from the perspective of cost, 50,000 people may not be enough to protect the entire Silla, but 50,000 people can protect the entire peninsula, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, that's not a problem that this king should consider!" Li Yuanjing responded with a smile.

After doing so many things, do you have to work in vain?

Of course not, Li Yuanjing can give most of the benefits to the imperial court, but he will never allow himself to rejoice.

He casually pointed to the three mines closest to the port and said, "This gold mine, this silver mine, this copper mine, this king wants it!" ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Yuanjing.

"It's impossible and possible, is the court giving the cost of this king's going to sea?" Li Yuanjing said directly.

"This can be given!"

"Then give it this time first, this king doesn't want much, two million guan is always worth it, right?" Li Yuanjing smiled, he had long been familiar with Fang Xuanling's routine, so he didn't feel angry, just scared.

"Okay, don't say these official words, the old man is playing better than you!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Yuanjing with a cheap smile.

Is he really interested in money?

Not necessarily!

If Li Yuanjing is really for money, then why can he let go at a critical moment when he is in Chang'an?

Coupled with the fact that he had previously revealed to himself that he would search for other places as a feudal country, Fang Xuanling vaguely felt that Li Yuanjing's purpose for these three mines was not so simple.

"Training!" Li Yuanjing said directly without hesitation.

"Training? You are crazy? Fang Xuanling was taken aback, training, can you say this casually? Even this sentence alone can give you a charge of rebellion.

What are you doing as a prince training soldiers? The court didn't let you practice, and you didn't need to practice, what is it if it's not a rebellion?

Fang Xuanling hurriedly continued: "You know, Your Majesty is very important to military power, and this piece is Your Majesty's reverse scale!" ”

"If the Tang Army is really available, why bother with this? Isn't it good to use the soldiers directly? I have to worry about when you will be accused of rebellion! Li Yuanjing complained weakly.

"Why can't Tang Jun be available? The Tang Dynasty men can fight well, and the Turks who fight will directly destroy the country, not to mention the far, just say the ones in front of them, hundreds of soldiers who were deceived into going to the Japanese country can quickly exterminate the Japanese who came to attack them after a long voyage, why can't this work? The more Fang Xuanling spoke, the more anxious he became, but he didn't want to watch Li Yuanjing die like this.

"You have a very good image in the military now, and once these words get out today, do you know what the consequences will be? You can learn Cheng Zhijie's bastard's routine appropriately, but you can't do too much than him, you have to take a good scale! ”

Li Yuanjing could feel Fang Xuanling's concern, he was still a little moved, no matter what the ultimate goal was, but from his own point of view, his statement was not wrong.

But it's a pity that Fang Xuanling doesn't understand his perspective on the problem and doesn't understand his own thoughts.

"No, it's not good, it's not that you can win a few battles, although the Tang army is strong, there are still a lot of problems on the body, and the king also knows that these words are very offensive to people, so I asked for these minerals, try it here to see how to change, and become a reference to the court, if you lose, it is the king's own business, and it has nothing to do with the court." Li Yuanjing thought about it, organized the language, and said seriously.

"Isn't the two thousand sailors that Your Majesty gave you enough? Say 1,000 to 10,000, don't you still want military power and minerals? ”
