Chapter 183 Fortune Comes to Gold

Sun Fu actually didn't have to get the money, but he was not angry that Zhao Yu couldn't redeem his promise, and now seeing that Zhao Fu was so low to himself, and he had face, Sun Fu snorted coldly and said: "So the old man will go down, I just hope that the prince won't let the student wait too long!" ”

Looking at the back of Sun Fu leaving, Zhao Yu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, money! Where does this money come from?

At this moment, Zhao Yu almost couldn't help but take money out of the treasury to build the Jixia School Palace, but this thing was no better than winning the hearts of the people. At present, there are more than 1,200 orphans and students in the Jixia School Palace, plus those big families. If this Jixia School Palace was built by Zhao Yu at his expense, these people still don't bear Zhao Yu's imprint? Ten or eight jinshi, one hundred or dozens of people, enough to form a faction of their own, so that people dare not underestimate it!

Can't Song Renzong see it? Even if he couldn't see it, Lu Yijian would remind Song Renzong with ingenious language art. The life of this pacification envoy is not easy either!

"Lord Wang! Great joy! Qian Yanyuan ran in from outside with an excited face.

Zhao Yu was already in a bad mood, and after listening to Qian Yanyuan's words, he also said that Qian Yanyuan teased himself. He reprimanded angrily: "What kind of system does the yamen shout and scream for? ”

Qian Yanyuan couldn't help but feel depressed, what's wrong with the prince today? I've heard that women have that, but do men have this? Although he couldn't figure it out, Qian Yanyuan still pushed it out of the door very wisely, and reported honestly: "Clerk Qian Yanyuan begged to see and appease the envoy!" ”

"Come in!" Zhao Yu sat behind a few cases with a stomach full of anger, and said in a not very kind tone.

"Lord Wang, a gold mine has been found in Luofeng Town!" Although Qian Yanyuan was reprimanded by Zhao Yu before, he was not in a good mood, but when he said this, the pleasant tone jumped in his ears.

"What! Are you sure? "Zhao Yu Huoran stood up, I'll wipe it! My character won't be like this, right? This one wants money, and the other one finds gold?

"It's the real prince! How dare the lower officials use this to entertain you? The prospector said, "This gold mine is less than 1,600,000 taels of gold!" Qian Yanyuan said excitedly.

1,600,000 taels of gold? Now the price of gold is very high, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for eighteen official money! What is the concept of 1,600,000 taels of gold? 28,800,000 yuan!

Because of the disaster this year, the tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty has dropped sharply, and this year does not count other materials, cloth and wine! and so on, just the cash is only four million! There are 800 to 9 million guan in a normal year, and according to the calculation of 9 million guan, this gold dug up is equivalent to 3.2 years of tax revenue!

Of course, the calculation is not so simple, gold mining requires manual work, preventing miners from stealing, nearby bandits peeping, and sending sergeants to guard and supervise. At the same time, refining gold also requires beneficiation, building mining furnaces, cutting wood as fuel, and there will be a considerable amount of gold gasification in the process of purification, transportation costs, etc., and the real money and silver in hand cannot be 1.6 million taels of gold.

Even so, there is no problem at all that is worth the total income of the two years of the Great Song Dynasty!

"Pick up your pen and write it now! By the way, how was gold discovered? As soon as Zhao Yu gave the order, he immediately remembered what had passed, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qian Yanyuan looked lucky and said: "According to the reports of those craftsmen, it was because the snow melted, causing some stones to fall and block the road. They blew it up with gunpowder, but they didn't want to put too much gunpowder, killed three workers, and blew up a large crater a few feet deep. I don't want to see the veins below, and the golden particles are scattered in the big pit. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Yanyuan patted his head and said, "I almost forgot to show the sample to the prince!" ”

As he spoke, Qian Yanyuan took out a small cloth bag from his arms and carefully opened it, revealing seven or eight gold particles of different sizes inside, the large gold particles were the size of the fingernails of the tail finger, and the small ones were as big as three or four small ants piled together. However, each one is quite pure and can be put on the market after a little refinement.

"Let someone take a sandalwood box and put it and give it to the prince! You can write the fold now, just write it truthfully! Zhao Yu said casually while packing up the gold particles.

"No!" I don't want to be out there at this time.

Zhao Yu was naturally annoyed, turned his head to look over, and saw that it was Gongsun Xuanxu. Zhao Yu suppressed his anger at this time, and replaced someone else, and he had already been scolded by Zhao Yu for being a bloody dog. "What do you mean, sir?"

Gongsun Xuanxu stepped forward and explained: "I just heard the news of the gold mine and hurriedly came, and I heard that the prince said that it was written truthfully on the fold, but is it so? ”

"Yes! So what? Zhao Yu said disappreciatively.

Gongsun Xuanxuan stroked his beard and said, "Then how did you hear that it was a golden dragon hovering in the sky, and a thunderbolt fell and released the gold mine?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but bow his hand to Gongsun Xuanxu: "Mr. is still old in this matter!" This king can ask more of the officials! ”

Qian Yanyuan couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, you can't write Ruixiang like this, why is it so?" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu explained: "If the new relatives of today's official family encounter a catastrophe, doesn't God think that there is something wrong with today's official family? Otherwise, why would the official family drive away all the old courtiers who supported him that day in just half a month, and use Lu Tanfu and others? When the official family heard about it, they were almost about to make an edict! Now that Ruixiang has appeared, and God has given the gold mine, isn't it the same as God to the official family, and the official family can not be happy? ”

Qian Yanyuan had to admit that Gongsun Xuanxu was much more experienced in grasping the pulse of officialdom than when he first came to Zhao Yu as a staff member! I am really immature in this matter! I might as well too!

Zhao Yu couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, an ordinary passage immediately caused earth-shaking changes!

It's just this mythical description, Qian Yanyuan's literary style doesn't need to be Gongsun Xuanxu, who was born as a Taoist. In fact, Gongsun Xuanxu is now pretending to be a god stick and becoming an official, and he never claims to be an official in front of Zhao Yu, but opens his mouth and closes his mouth to be poor.

In the end, this recital was solved by Qian Yanyuan and Gongsun Xuanxu, Qian Yanyuan wrote the beginning and end, the end where the gold mine was found in the middle, and the part that complimented Song Renzong, all of which were written by Gongsun Xuanxu. It is worthy of being a professional magic stick, and the horses are snapping, but it does not give people a little greasy.
