Chapter 13: The Elders' Surprise

Have a good night's rest, and the next morning, Yun Yi sent people from the Yun Mansion to send a message to the third uncle Yun Yuankai and the five clan elders of the Yun clan, inviting them to discuss important matters in the Yun Mansion in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Yun Yuankai, Yun Zheyan and others came to the door together, Yun Yi bowed to the six elders, and then the seven people came to a room in the Yun Mansion, and the subordinates of the Yun Mansion were driven far away and were not allowed to approach this room.

In the room, seven people sat opposite each other in two rows.

"Jiuxiao, how did you get from this trip? It doesn't matter if you don't have a harvest, it's okay to go out and walk around. Yun Zheyan stroked his beard with his right hand, and asked Yun Yi with a smile.

Yun Zheyan is Yun Yi's third grandfather, although Yun Zheyan is the youngest of the five clan elders, but Yun Zheyan is an acquired ninth-order martial artist, the strongest martial artist in the Yun clan, and Yun Zheyan's status in the Yun clan is even greater than that of his second brother Yun Zhehan.

Yun Yi went out to travel within Yunhua County to find a new way of wealth for the Yun family, all the elders of Yun Yi knew about it, but everyone's opinion was similar to Yun Yuankai, thinking that the possibility of Yun Yi being able to open up a new financial road for the Yun family was very small, after all, the ancestors of the Yun family had not changed the status quo of the Yun family for more than 200 years, and the new financial road opened up did not bring much benefit to the Yun family.

Everyone believes that it doesn't matter whether Yun Yi finds a new way to make money, the most important thing is that Yun Yi becomes an innate martial artist as soon as possible, which is the greatest contribution to the Yun clan, no matter what problems arise in the Yun clan, as long as the Yun clan has an innate martial artist, the Yun clan's bloodline is not easy to break.

Yun Yi could roughly guess what the six elders were thinking, but he didn't care, after all, the elders didn't know that Yun Yi had memories of his previous life, and his vision and thinking were not comparable to those of this era.

Yun Yi smiled and said: "Third grandfather, this trip is not without harvest for grandchildren, grandchildren's gains are unimaginable, third grandpa guess what this thing is?" ”

As he spoke, Yun Yi stretched out his right hand, and a stone the size of a child's fist with a metallic luster appeared in the palm of his right hand.

"What is this?" Yun Zheyan looked at the stone with some doubts, and reached out to take the stone in front of him to take a closer look.

"This is silver ore? Jiuxiao, have you found a silver mine? Yun Zheyan hadn't seen the bottom of this stone yet, but Yun Zhehan, who was sitting next to Yun Zheyan, said in surprise.

"Silver ore? Silver? Hearing Yun Zhehan's surprised voice, the others were also very surprised, and the voice in their mouths unconsciously became louder, but everyone quickly noticed their volume and lowered their voices, even if they were in Yun Mansion at this time, they had to be careful not to leak this news easily, although the silver mine was not as good as the gold mine, but its importance was also very high, if there was a silver mine in the hands of the Yun clan, it would be equivalent to an extra cash cow in the hands of the Yun clan.

The other five elders of Yunyi took the stones one by one and looked at them carefully, as if they wanted to see the flowers.

"Yes, second grandfather, my grandson found a silver mine on the way to travel, and this ore was brought back from there." Yunyi replied.

"How big is this silver mine?" As soon as Yun Zhehan's words came out, he felt that he was wrong, it would be good for Yun Yi to find a silver mine, how could he know the silver reserves of the silver mine.

Yun Yi also replied: "The scope of this silver mine is very large, and Sun Er estimates that the total value of the silver mine is more than 1 million gold, and if it is mined, the income will be more than 500,000 gold (without paying taxes)." ”

In fact, the number of Yunyi is also low, according to Yunyi's calculations, the silver reserves of this silver mine will exceed 3,000 tons, but according to the current mining technology, Yun's annual income can have thousands of gold, even if it is thousands of gold income, it is still very important for Yun's, and it can become Yun's pillar industry.

"Shhh

1 million gold, 500,000 gold, these two let the six elders take a breath of cool air, for the Yun family, who now has a net income of only more than 10,000 gold per year, this is a very huge amount, equal to the sum of the Yun family's income for decades, can you not be surprised.

The new beating of the six elders was violent, and the things that the ancestors of many generations had not completed were about to be realized in their generation, but the hearts of the six elders quickly calmed down, after all, these two figures were just the "guesses" of Yunyi who they thought they knew nothing about minerals, even if these two figures were more consistent, it did not represent how much income the Yun clan could get every year in the end.

First of all, mining, mining, smelting, road repair, etc., a large amount of money is needed, and secondly, various labor costs also need funds, and the speed of mining is unknown, and then the empire will pay a heavy tax on the mining of silver ore, if the Yun clan mines this silver mine, it is unknown how much income will be made every year.

No matter how much profit the Yun clan will get from mining this silver mine, as long as the final income is positive, it is worth mining, Yunyi's six elders looked at each other a few times, and finally made a decision: first send someone to take a look at the field, the situation is similar, and the silver ore can be mined.

"Jiuxiao, where is the location of this silver mine? We have to quickly send someone to investigate on the spot, if this silver mine can really bring huge benefits to the family, Jiuxiao will make a great contribution. Yun Zhehan asked.

Yun Yi took out a roll of animal skin from behind him unhurriedly, Yun Yi opened the animal skin wide, about two feet square, but a closer look is the map of Yunhua County, this map is much more comprehensive than the map of Yunhua County in Yun's hand, of course, there are many blank places, after all, Yunyi did not go to all the places in Yunhua County, leaving a large blank space is normal, and the map of Yunhua County in Yun's hand is mainly three points and one line: the terrain of the three cities and the nearby areas.

The animal skin map that Yun Yi took out had various lines drawn on it, and various marks were made, which only Yun Yi could understand.

Yun Yi spread the animal skin map on a table, everyone stood in a circle in front of the table, Yun Yi pointed to a small city mark on the map and said: "This is Yunhua City, the silver mine is in the northeast of Yunhua City, the straight-line distance is about 120 miles, and the silver mine is about 70 miles away from Chenyang City. ”

"Jiuxiao, what are these other markers?" Yun Zheyan asked, looking at the various markings on the animal skin map.

Yun Yi then pointed on the animal skin map: "Sun Er found an iron mine here, there is a copper mine here, and here, this is also a silver mine, but Sun Er thinks that it feels that the silver reserves of this silver mine are very small, and it is troublesome to mine and refine, so I didn't mention it, here, Sun Er found a strange black stone that can burn ......"

Every time Yun Yi said a word, everyone's hearts beat faster and faster, even if the silver ore does not have mining value, the iron ore and copper ore veins can become the pillar industries of the Yun family, and in the surprise, everyone forgot to ask Yun Yi how Yun Yi discovered these ore veins.

"Land is the greatest wealth left to us by our ancestors!" A plausible exclamation appeared in the hearts of everyone.
