"What are you guys shouting about, Your Highness is the reincarnation of a god, what is this bit of gold?"

Zhang Xingsan said proudly, in his eyes, it is not uncommon for Liu Yuetian to turn stones into gold.

"Masters, that's right, these are ores rich in gold, and when I return to Tianshui, I will trouble you to get these gold out, and I will have a heavy reward at that time."

"Your Highness, don't worry, we can't do anything else in our lives, we will tinker with stones, but we haven't seen so much gold in decades! Guys, it's a privilege to see so many gold mines in our lifetime! ”

"Yes! Your Highness, rest assured, we promise to sift out all the gold that is not left behind, you can take a look! ”

The stonemasons all said excitedly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, masters!"

In this era, there are many ancient methods that can be used to refine gold, and the purity can reach up to 80%, but it will be very troublesome, and these ores need to be milled, then washed, diverted, etc., but these stonemasons are familiar with it.

In the next few days, Liu Yuetian led everyone to collect hundreds of thousands of catties of ore, and the system showed that these ores contained nearly 1,000 taels of gold, which was converted into silver and was 10,000 taels, and this ratio was the best bonanza that could not be compared.

It only took half a month, in Liu Yuetian's "government" under the strong execution of Tianshui City to regain its vitality, those firms originally thought that this Liu Yuetian "came to power" after the loot, this kind of thing often happens when the change of power, especially those very famous firms, such as the Shenglong firm, are said to be the owner behind it is the world's richest man Fan Li, although the branch in Tianshui is not large, but there are also hundreds of taels of silver liquidity, it is better to be robbed, if even people are killed, it will be a big loss, So for so many days, these businessmen were trembling and hiding at home and didn't dare to come out, but the newly appointed "Taishou" didn't pay attention to them at all, and judging from the news from the people, the other party's means were very clever, and they restored order to Tianshui almost within a day or two.

After a short wait-and-see period, they finally put their minds at ease and opened their doors one after another, and the shopkeepers of several commercial houses also came to see Liu Yuetian.

"Everyone, I heard that you were all closed a few days ago, I must have been afraid, and I have been a little busy recently, so I didn't explain to you, just when you came, then I will tell you, although you can do business with confidence, the bigger the better, I will do my best to support you."

This era is an agrarian society, commercial behavior has not been fully recognized, heavy agriculture and light business is the mainstream, so although most of the businessmen are rich, but the social status is not high, even compared with those homeless beggars, but Liu Yuetian knows that if ordinary people want to be rich, it can only be done through the circulation of money, that is, commercial behavior, only when business is developed, the living standards of the common people can really improve, otherwise even if you have silver, but there is no commodity trading, what is the difference between silver and stone.

"Oh? Do you really think so, Lord Wang? ”

A person asked cautiously, Liu Yuetian knew him, it was Sun Decheng, the shopkeeper of Shenglong Commercial Bank.

"Shopkeeper Sun, why don't you believe it?"

Liu Yuetian waved his hand and motioned for the other party to drink tea.

"No, no, it's just that Liu Yuan ......... before!"

The other party was halfway through his words, and it seemed that he still had some scruples.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Liu Yuetian smiled.

"Liu Yuan thinks that we business houses are making money from Tianshui, so he is very ...... to us It's very unfriendly, and you have to pay 60% of your profits as taxes every month......... Of course, paying taxes is what it should be, I don't know what the prince's attitude is .........? ”

The other party said cautiously, and looked at Liu Yuetian from time to time.

"Sixty percent profit! Good guy, Da Zhou legal merchants pay fifty percent of their profits, and the sky level is white for no reason, and this Liu Yuan is really black, so from today on, you will only pay thirty percent of the tax every month. ”

"Oops! It's true? ”

Everyone jumped up happily when they heard this, what businessmen are pursuing is profit, and now Liu Yuetian has increased them by three percent with one mouth, of course, they are ecstatic.

"Everyone, business lies in circulation, you can do business in Tianshui, and the people of Tianshui can also go to other cities to do business, and we also have some items in Tianshui, such as food, such as .........."

Liu Yuetian said casually, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing else in Tianshui except for some white rice.

"That's right!"

Liu Yuetian suddenly took out an iron short knife from his side, startling everyone.

"Guys, look at it, how much is a knife worth?"

"Knives?"

Everyone was relieved when they saw that they were not dealing with them, and they came up one by one, only to take a look at them and exclaim again and again.

"This knife should be a Shu weapon, and it is the best Shu weapon, looking at this handiwork, it is likely to be the handwriting of those masters."

One exclaimed.

"I think it's stronger than Shu, you look at this steel mouth, it's just a sharp blade!"

"Well, that's right, I'm afraid this knife has reached the level of a treasure knife."

The other person kept stroking the blade of the knife and couldn't put it down.

"Guys, how much is this knife worth?"

Liu Yuetian asked.

"Silver? If it is a Shu weapon, a dagger is worth ten taels of silver, and such a short knife will cost at least fifty taels of silver, but if this knife is a treasure knife, it is difficult to say......... but I have not seen what the treasure knife looks like, so it is difficult to draw conclusions. ”

A pawnshop shopkeeper said.

"I don't know if the sword is a treasure knife or not, but I don't lack such a short knife, and I can have as many as I want."

"What? As many as you want? ”

Everyone shouted.

This iron short knife Liu Yuetian only needs to spend five merit points to get a handle, but it only needs twenty pounds of pig iron, two pieces of silver can theoretically buy fifty pounds of pig iron, if it is so calculated, it will be as a fifty taels of silver for an iron short knife, then it can be exchanged for a thousand pounds of pig iron, of course, this is only in theory, because salt and iron are the state monopoly, the common people are not allowed to buy and sell, even the tools for farming are specially provided by the government, if it is damaged, it will be subject to certain punishments, Nowadays, all forces need a large number of weapons, and in many cases it is very difficult to buy pig iron.

Tianshui does not produce iron, all of them are purchased from various forces, and the weapons used by Liu Yuan before were purchased from Daqin at a large price, and they are not enough, so to speak, the taxes of the people of Tianshui are not only to buy weapons is to buy war horses.

Now Liu Yuetian wants to build an elite army, the first problem is weapons, he wants all soldiers to use iron short knives, just the pig iron needed is a huge amount, these pig iron alone may not be able to buy with silver, but if this sharp weapon is exchanged, those forces will probably scramble.

After all, charging to fight, the quality of a weapon directly determines the battle situation, my knife is sharp, a few strokes will cut off your knife, then this battle is still a fart, Shu weapons are like this, it is said that when the two thousand Shu army went deep into the barbarians to exterminate the Yi people, the other party thought that the mountains and forests could be blocked, but the Shu army held the Shu weapon long knife directly in the dense forest to cut a way, and finally the two sides fought, the Yi people were defeated, no weapon on the battlefield was intact, all were cut off by the Shu weapon, even the corpse was torn apart, since then the Shu weapon has become famous, All forces want to get and imitate, but Shu artifacts rarely flow out, even if they flow out into the hands of other princes, they can't be imitated at all, and now Liu Yuetian has a large number of weapons in his hands that can be comparable to Shu weapons, once the news comes out, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of other princes.
