From these materials, Chen Sheng was pleasantly surprised to find several products that could make huge profits. Among them, Chen Sheng was most pleased that he had discovered several silver mines. You must know that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, silver has been popular among the great vassal states. However, the circulation of silver is very small, and it is rare in the world to hear of any princes' state-owned silver mines, and many of them are exchanged from the grassland peoples outside the Guan. Because of the small amount, silver only appeared on the ornaments of the upper noble ladies, so the price of silver has remained high. Although the texture of silver is not as good as gold, it is rare and expensive, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for ten taels of gold. Because of the extreme scarcity of silver, it did not become one of the circulating currencies of the Qin State.

Seeing the silver mine markers on the map, Chen Sheng was overjoyed. Although there are silver mines in Ouyue, due to the lack of sufficient technology, the mining conditions are extremely low, and thousands of slave miners are used to work, and they are often only able to collect a few hundred catties of crude silver a year. They didn't even have much purification technology, so the royal family could only hand it over to the merchants in the Central Plains and let them help with smelting and purification. In this way, the selling profit is also greatly reduced, and the annual income is only a few thousand gold, if you count the slaves lost in the mining process, maybe it is still a loss. So after several generations of kings, these silver mines were gradually abandoned, and only the original recorded map was left on the current Ouyue king, and he did not know that there were such rich resources under his rule.

Chen Sheng took a deep breath. When the silver is dug up, it is white silver and gold and gold. It's easier to earn money than to make a living. He immediately marked the records, prepared to pick an appropriate time, organized a team to verify them, and then organized some prisoners to go to these places for labor reform and continue to contribute to society.

"Tuk Tuk ......" The door was knocked three times, and the dragon pushed the door in. My lord, there are guests outside the house who want to see him, and he has been led into the living room by his subordinates, and I don't know if my lord is ready to meet him. Qian Long knew that when Chen Sheng was in the office, he was very disgusted with others interrupting his work. Therefore my heart is also very worried. However, when the guest arrived at the door, he gave the guard a voice fee of ten gold, and the guard did not dare to snub the distinguished guest, and this thing could not be done, so the word was passed to the ears of the dragon.

After the dragon saw the guest, the guest hurriedly greeted him, shook his hand enthusiastically, and then stuffed a bag of heavy gold coins into the sleeve of the dragon, and begged the dragon to inform Chen Sheng.

"Is there a name on it?" Not entertaining guests when it is dark is Chen Sheng's criterion. Of course, these guidelines are only for most people.

"What is the young master of the Longxi Wu family...... "Qian Long thought about it, and then remembered the origin of the generous gold master. After saying this, he quickly took out the small money bag that the visitor had handed him. Chen Sheng made a rule that no one in the house was allowed to accept guests' property, and every time he received it, he must also hand it over to his superiors in time, and return it to the guests when he went out.

"Longxi Wu family?" Chen Sheng frowned. "That's a big family alongside the Ling family! What are they looking for me for? With a turn of his mind, a flash of joy suddenly appeared between Chen Sheng's eyebrows. After taking the heavy money bag, Chen Sheng said "yo", and said with a smile: "Yes, there are as many as fifty gold, which is worth a year's worth for you, the captain of Dongye." Keep it to beg for a daughter-in-law. He threw the money bag back to the dragon.

Qian Long suddenly panicked, and said hurriedly: "My lord, don't dare to be humble, but you have a rule that you can't accept the property of visitors in private." ”

Chen Sheng smiled faintly and said: "This regulation is invalid for this young master of the Wu family, they have a lot of money, and they are not bad for money." "Chen Sheng turns a blind eye to some things, he knows that when the water is clear, there are no fish. If you want your subordinates to be serious and obedient, discipline and official authority alone will not work. It is always the interests that drive people. Only by attaching equal importance to grace and power, and even rain and dew, can the soldiers under him work hard.

"Tell the young master of the Wu family, the official will change his clothes and go out to meet the guests, and he will serve tea and wait, this is the big money owner who came to send money." Chen Sheng said with a smile.

The Wu family can be listed as one of the richest people in the world alongside the Ling family, and their keen sense of wealth will definitely not be lower than that of the Ling family's Ling Suyun. The emperor approved the opening of salt farms and tea mountains in Minzhong County and the implementation of other businesses, which seriously stimulated the majority of businessmen, and made Minzhong County a huge gold panning field on the spot, and they all wanted to come here to get a piece of the pie. After the Wu family's principal in Xianyang learned the news, he immediately reported the news to Shaowu Shaohai, who was working in Jiujiang County.

Wu Shaohai learned that the Ling family had injected more than 500,000 gold into Minzhong County, almost monopolizing the merchants of Minzhong County. The investment in the industry shocked Wu Shaohai. They are both super-rich families, and the details of each other are clear. Wu Shaohai naturally knew that the Ling family's various investments had already invested all the family's available funds in Minzhong County. Such an act is extremely risky and unwise. At the beginning, Wu Shaohai still felt that the head of the Ling family was crazy. But soon after he heard that the Ling family had obtained the monopoly rights of salt and tea in Ba County and Qianzhong County, he found that the Ling family was almost close to gambling this time, and the investment bet was in the right place! The emperor let go and let Chen Sheng, the county guard of Minzhong County, toss this place in Minzhong as he wishes! The business opportunities here are endless! Although Fujian is barren, the abundance of resources is staggering. So Wu Shaohai also rushed over, wanting to get a piece of the big cake in Fujian!

The Wu family was able to stand tall in the empire. Nature has its reasons. Although the Wu family is a businessman, there are also supporting forces in the court behind it. In addition to getting the family's request, Wu Shaohai also brought the cordial care of a nobleman in the court to Chen Sheng. As for whether Chen Shengling does not accept this nobleman's affection, it is also an important reliance related to whether Wu Shaohai can compete with the Ling family in Fujian.

The dragon brought good news to Wu Shaohai. The county keeper is taking care of government affairs and asks the guests to wait for a while. Although Wu Shaohai was anxious to see Chen Sheng, he also calmed down at this time, thinking back to the careful advice in the secret letter given to him by someone in Xianyang, a feeling of boredom flashed in his heart. Although Chen Sheng is the official of Minzhong County, he is just a teenager after all, how can he be his opponent? Will Chen Sheng not agree to the conditions he offered?
