"Even if it's a dowry from your kid! …… Otto Tingjian! Your dowry is very heavy, a full 200 million! In our country, I'm afraid you are the first person to give such a generous dowry. ”

"Dad......"

Xia Mengqi's face was thin, and she sneered at her father Xia Zhengjiao, causing Xia Zheng to laugh "hehe".

Xia Zheng accepted a Ruyao teacup with satisfaction, and then said that he was going downstairs to find the packaging box, so he left, maybe Xia Zheng didn't want to be a light bulb for the two.

As soon as Xia Zheng left the corner, Yang Tingjian picked up Xia Mengqi again, put it on his lap, and began to chat with Xia Mengqi.

"Brother Tingjian, the antiques and jade you sent last time are very good to sell, and the price is good, but they are basically antiques from the people, so the value is not particularly high, I helped you sell more than half of them during this time, a total of more than 50 million, after deducting handling fees and taxes, you should have about 40 million, now do you need money?"

The antiques and jade brought by Yang Ting were all robbed by thieves and gentry, and they were definitely not from the palace, and fifty pieces could be sold for more than 50 million, which was already very good.

"Mengqi, I'm not in a hurry to use the money now, you can send 10 million to my card, which is the card you gave me."

Xia Mengqi asked Yang Tingjian if he needed money, which showed that this girl wanted to manage Yang Tingjian's money again, anyway, Yang Tingjian also needed Xia Mengqi to help buy some materials, so there was nothing wrong with Xia Mengqi having money.

Yang Tingjian was chatting with Xia Mengqi while loving Xia Mengqi in his arms with one hand, don't look at Xia Mengqi is only nineteen years old now, her figure is quite material, and her smooth belly is extremely elastic.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

This voice is also Xia Mengqi understands what Yang Tingjian means, maybe it's coquettish!

"Mengqi! You helped me import 50 German-made steam engines, each weighing less than three tons, and the more powerful the better. ”

"Brother Tingjian, why did you buy a steam engine! There are no restrictions on buying this stuff. ”

"A friend needs it and asked me to buy it for me."

Yang Tingjian also wants to buy a domestic steam engine, but Yang Tingjian will only repair it generally, if the steam engine brought to Daming is broken in three days, isn't it life? That's why Yang Tingjian thought about buying a German steam engine.

In addition, Yang Tingjian will definitely imitate these steam engines in the future, and if he wants to imitate them, he must imitate the German steam engine!

Xia Mengqi and Yang Tingjian waited until the afternoon, Yang Tingjian got up to say goodbye, and on the street, Yang Tingjian went alone to buy a solar charging panel, with an area of about one square meter, and there was no problem at all to charge mobile phones and high-voltage electric rods, and he also bought dozens of telescopes.

This time I went back, Yang Tingjian planned to download Baidu Encyclopedia to his mobile phone, and there were also all the textbooks from elementary school to university, and these knowledge would definitely have a heavy effect on Yang Tingjian, otherwise Yang Tingjian would not have bothered to download these things.

……

Yang Tingjian hurried back to the Ming Dynasty after staying in modern times for three days, and Yang Tingjian was really relieved, especially the recruits recruited by the Jinyi Guard.

Yang Tingjian, who returned to the Ming Dynasty, listened carefully to a nagging, that is, of course, the Red Lady reported to Yang Tingjian how to dig up treasures in the Forbidden City, and within three days, the Red Lady explored the Forbidden City, and found out a total of more than 7 million silver, more than 200,000 taels of gold.

At this time, Daming's annual expenses were about fifteen million taels, and these silver were just enough for Chongzhen's expenses this year.

Now the Ming Dynasty only has 4 million taels of tax revenue a year, and 15 million annual expenditures, what a big gap! I don't know how Emperor Chongzhen in history worked hard for seventeen years.

It won't be long before Chongzhen's silver will be snatched away by those Wenchens who divide it by three, five by two, there is no doubt about this, no matter how Chongzhen tightens his money bag, those Wenchen will dig out Chongzhen's internal currency.

As for the gold inlaid jade, he also deeply realized his mistakes, and should not have a strong desire to control, in this ancient period of three wives and four concubines, this kind of thinking of gold inlaid jade is unacceptable, that is to commit the seven out of the rule.

Yang Tingjian did not punish Jin Jianyu, but just said euphemistically Jin Jianyu, after all, Jin Jianyu is in charge of Yang Tingjian's Intelligence Department, the importance of this department is self-evident, and in the future, Jin Jianyu's help to Yang Tingjian is incomparable.

When Yang Tingjian was about to take the Red Lady and his party to Tongzhou, Duan Jinsheng, who was sent by Yang Tingjian to Huairou to prospect, came back, because Yang Tingjian was not in Nanzhen Fusi, Duan Jinsheng took more than a dozen craftsmen who came back from prospecting to the "Dragon Gate Inn".

As soon as Yang Tingjian heard the doorman's report that Duan Jinsheng was coming, he hurriedly asked the doorman to invite Duan Jinsheng in.

After a while, Duan Jinsheng carried a cloth bag on his back and Rarity came to the living room of Zheguiyuan uneasily, and before he entered the door, he knelt at the door and trembled:

"Artisan ...... Segment...... Kim Sheng...... Ask to see Lord Yang......"

Yang Tingjian understands very well the Dousheng Xiaomin at this time, which kind of psychological state is afraid of the powerful:

"Duan Jinsheng, come in! Tell me how the errand assigned to you by the official is doing. ”

Duan Jinsheng hurriedly lowered his head, and walked into the living room of Zheguiyuan in fright, and after walking a few steps through the door, Duan Jinsheng knelt on the ground again, and reported to Yang Tingjian tremblingly:

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Yang, little ...... has found iron ore in Qian'anling, Huairou, and the taste is very high, and the small belt is ...... Came back with a very fast sample. ”

"Duan Jin is alive! If you do a good job on this errand, then the official will raise your craftsman's small flag! Now help the official estimate how much silver it will cost to build a mine with a daily output of 5,000 catties of steel. ”

This stumped Duan Jinsheng, but Duan Jinsheng thought about it and said a rough idea:

"Returning to Lord Yang...... The villain has never operated a mine, but the villain has heard his ancestors say that when he became an ancestor, the little ancestor also helped Grandpa Cheng build a mine, and a daily output of 10,000 catties of iron requires three iron-making furnaces, which cost about 30,000 taels of silver, and the mining workers and charcoal are not easy to calculate. ”

At that time when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty was strong, and it was not difficult to build a mineral with a daily output of 10,000 catties of iron, a furnace could smelt two furnaces a day, and each furnace produced about 1,500 catties of iron, which was already a medium-sized iron-making furnace at this time.

"Have you heard of the hearth?"

This open hearth only came out in 1864, of course Duan Jinsheng would not know, Yang Tingjian thought about it, so he said to Duan Jinsheng with a pleasant face:

……
