Section 446 The General Guarding the Mining Area [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

Cheng Huaimo still sat there quietly, not moving.

What kind of person is Lao Cheng, that is Cheng Motou, an expert in making trouble, how can his son be an honest person.

Cheng Huaimo sitting here does not mean that his heart does not move.

Before coming to Qin Wangzhuang, Qin Qiong had an explanation to let Cheng Huaimo listen to him, if he didn't let him move, he would never move, and if he didn't let him speak, he would never be able to speak, if he couldn't even bear this, then Qin Qiong, the general of Tongguan, would naturally ask Li Yuanxing to change him.

Speaking of substitutions, Cheng Huaimo was naturally nervous.

Let's not talk about the military department, just say that among the old generals of the Qin Palace, those who are qualified and capable of being the guards of Tongguan can at least line up from the Suzaku Gate to the Mingde Gate if they are lined up.

It was his turn to be able to do so, this was a great creation, so Cheng Huaimo gritted his teeth this time to abide by the rules.

However, in general, Cheng Huaimo is much stronger than Huailiang, and being on an errand in the royal forbidden army has made him improve a lot in abiding by the rules.

Li Yuanxing sat back on the main seat and did not rush to speak.

As soon as Wu Bin and Du Shuangyu came to the small living room, Li Yuanxing spoke.

"Sit down, this king has two tasks!" Listening to Li Yuanxing's words, Wu Bin and Du Shuangyu hurriedly sat down on the cushion at the bottom.

"Let's talk about a small town in the Qinling Mountains first, a small town in the mountains." Li Yuanxing sat there and began to speak unhurriedly: "Continue to the south of the Qinling Mountains from the Shennong Palace, there is a small town called Zhashui Town!" ”

The Zhashui Town mentioned by Li Yuanxing is the Zhashui County of later generations.

But in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the population here was not large. It's just a gathering place for dozens of villages in the mountains, and then there is one more town in the mountains.

The population of the town is less than 100 households, which is considered a very small town.

"There are things there that the king thinks are very important, so they must be guarded by those who gain money. In other words, the vigilance there in the future should be at the same level compared to Qin Wangzhuang. ”

"Gorou, what's it?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask.

"Copper Mine!" Li Yuanxing opened his mouth with a smile, and then stretched out a slap: "Every day, if you can dig 500,000 catties of copper ore." Wait for Du Pisces to have his grandson born. I can't dig up the copper mine. ”

What is Copper? Putting copper in Datang is money, and Datang has official money and private money.

At Li Yuanxing's level, he has the right to mint money. It only needs to be reported to the household department. Reporting. That's enough.

Du Shuangyu stood up as soon as he straightened up, but was held down by Wu Bin with one hand, and then Wu Bin gave Cheng Huaimo a look. That means that if you look at the son of General Cheng, he is as stable as Mount Tai.

You monkey fart!

Du Shuangyu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and sat down in a straight position.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Shubao, the copper mine is actually just a trivial matter. This king needs to transfer troops to guard because there is a silver mine, and if he can dig a million catties of silver ore a day, Pisces's grandson will run all over the street, and naturally he will not be able to dig it all. ”

How much is a million catties.

In later generations, it is actually a daily output of 600 tons.

In fact, the Quercus Mercury Mine can be regarded as one of the largest silver mines in China, with the capacity to produce 1,000 tons of ore per day, and the purity of silver ore is good, and there are many associated ores, making it a real bonanza.

Porphy, Cheng Huaimo fell to the ground, stretched out his hand to support the floor, and slowly raised his head: "I can't hold it, I can't help it." Your Highness, Huai Mo can't stand it. Don't speak, don't move, you're going to die. Whimo would rather be punched a few times by His Highness, but he couldn't stand it, he couldn't stand it. ”

Qin Qiong hahadaxiao, and then knocked Cheng Huaimo to the ground with a slap.

"You bastard, you don't even have this patience, if you dare to rest assured, let you guard a pass!"

Qin Qiong's tone was stern, and Cheng Huaimo just blackened his face and lowered his head, ready to be slapped again.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Brother Shubao, I asked Huai Mo to guard the Tong Pass, in fact, it is not to guard the pass, I have another task." Brother Shubao will choose someone as his deputy, and his personality will be calmer to supplement! ”

"As it should be!" Qin Qiong glared at Cheng Huaimo, and the frightened Cheng Huaimo couldn't help but take half a step back.

Li Yuanxing put away his smile and said in a much more serious tone: "This silver mine is estimated to be huge, and this king has already discussed the usefulness of this mining area with the imperial brother, so this mining area is not included in the national treasury, but only for Qin Wangzhuang." Of course, the household department knows how much this king adds to the treasury in the Zhuangzi every year, so the household department will not have any trouble. ”

"Your Highness, you have an order!"

Wu Bin got up to salute, and Du Shuangyu also hurriedly stood up.

"Silver mining is one thing, it's the minting that matters. We'll talk about this later, but for now, build the road first. At least the coal can be transported in, and the king has other arrangements for the construction of the road. Wu Bin, your task is the silver mine, if there is a problem in the silver mine, it is your responsibility, among the twelve guards, you can only select a maximum of 1,400 elite soldiers, and you have to give Du Pisces 600. ”

Speaking of elite soldiers, Li Yuanxing walked up to Du Shuangyu: "Du Shuangyu, you are responsible for training six hundred archers and inspecting the surroundings. ”

"Your Highness, who will the Lord be?" Wu Bin asked in a low voice.

"It's you, Wu Bin. This king transferred Xi Jun to buy it as your deputy, and as soon as the silver mine starts to be produced, there will be countless people staring at it. The king is not worried, what the king cares about is a spy from a foreign country. ”

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Wu Bin Shili asked, "Wu Bin doesn't understand." ”

"That king teaches you, what happens if silver ore is stolen, that is, stones, one person can't carry much. The silver was stolen, that is, some silver. But this king minted coins, this coin will play a great role in the future, this king told you that you will not understand for a while, but what this king wants to say is that the original coin, impression, and coinage machine, this is what you really want to protect. What will happen if you find that you can't protect it? ”

Li Yuanxing asked seriously.

Wu Bin took a step forward: "A certain death battle, anyone who wants to come and grab something, step on the corpse of a certain first!" ”

Li Yuanxing picked up a stack of papers on the table and prepared to put it on Wu Bin's face.

But after thinking about it, Wu Bin is this kind of straight person, and being able to fight to the death for himself can be regarded as an attitude.

Wu Bin saw that Li Yuanxing was going to hit him, but he didn't dodge, he didn't dodge, and his expression didn't change.

Qin Qiong was surprised, Wu Bin's answer should be correct in his opinion, but His Royal Highness King Qin would not be satisfied.

Li Yuanxing sighed: "Wu Bin, you are too real. If you can't beat it, destroy it! ”

"Ruined?" Wu Bin didn't understand a hundred times.

Du Shuangyu stood up at this time: "The young general understands, there are some things that he himself is a secret." Only by destroying can we keep the secret, just as when we attacked Liaocheng, the brother who entered the city first said that if he was discovered, he would commit suicide to prevent the Goguryeo people from asking him something! ”

"Yes, things can be rebuilt, but secrets must be kept!"

Qin Qiong also said, and then asked Li Yuanxing: "Wulang, could there be anything special about this coin?" ”

"Uncle Bao, don't ask, I will tell you in detail in the future!"

"If you don't ask, you will forget about it immediately!" Qin Qiong is also a shrewd person, knowing that there are some problems that he doesn't know, but it will be a good thing.

He just felt that Li Yuanxing might have some kind of very big jihua, so big that it would affect the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing naturally can't say it, he will use the coin molds of later generations, as well as the alloy formulas of later generations, even if it is pure silver and pure copper, in fact, other things will be added when minting coins.

The first is the difference in materials. Then there is the difference in the degree of refinement, zuihou is some simple anti-counterfeiting methods.

Li Yuanxing believes that within five years, the entire Datang private money will basically disappear, because whether it is used or stored in his warehouse, he will choose exquisite new coins instead of old copper coins.

Of course, those who have a large piece of gold will still have a large piece of gold. At that time, it may be time for the emergence of a social necessity such as a bank. The economy is no joke, and it is not a joke.

China is a poor silver country, but Li Yuanxing knows that there is a place where there is 30 percent of the world's silver reserves, and when the military strength is reached, Li Yuanxing will not let go of it.

"Wu Bin, this king trusts you, if you have any questions, any ideas can come to this king immediately. Let you do things, and you will do things well. ”

"Your Highness!"

"Recently, the three of you have spent half a month going to the Security Department of the Tang Empire to learn the experience of guarding!" After Li Yuanxing finished instructing, he said to Qin Qiong again: "Brother Shubao, I have been working for half a month. ”

"Naturally, I will choose excellent instructors and teach them with heart."

"Wymer!" Li Yuanxing walked in front of Cheng Huaimo again and patted Cheng Huaimo's shoulder gently: "What's in Tongguan?" There are gold mines there, don't ask the king how many mines, you just need to know that the gold mines are surrounded like iron barrels. Then the coarse gold was stored, and every month the king would arrange for someone to pull the coarse gold back to Chang'an. ”

"Gold, gold mines!" Cheng Huaimo's eyes widened.

Li Yuanxing walked back to his position and sat down: "Tongguan is not as good as Qinling, there are many people, and it is not easy to guard the mint, so it is placed in Qinwangzhuang." Fortunately, this king is still dominated by copper coins and silver coins, so the number will not be too much, and the place in Qinwangzhuang is barely enough! ”

Gold mines, silver mines, copper mines!

This is said to be a mining area, but in fact it is money, and digging these mines in Datang is equivalent to digging money.

Without Li Yuanxing's detailed instructions, Cheng Huaimo and the other three knew the seriousness of this matter.

"Alright, you three stand down!" Li Yuanxing waved his hand.

When the three of them went out, Li Yuanxing motioned for Qin Qiong to follow him to the desk, then turned on the computer and called up a picture.

"Brother Shubao, this is the approximate location of Liaodong Jingou. Around the small city occupied by Lao Cheng, the king speculated that the amount of gold mines was enough for the king to build a new palace for the imperial brother! (To be continued......)
