Lin Ruo always had a shallow smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze when they looked at it. treats the people she cares about, she always feels as gentle as water, and it seems that as long as she is there, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Second sister, has the gold mine been discovered now?"

Lin Ruo looked at Ji Junyang, and Ji Junyang immediately said: "The time has not come, so naturally people will not notice it." ”

Lin Qi blinked his eyes and asked, "Timing?" What timing? ”

Murong Chong smiled and looked at Lin Ruo: "Are you waiting for the autumn and winter season?" ”

"I can't hide anything from the prince's discernment."

Lin Qi looked at Wang Ye, who was originally like himself and didn't know anything about Uncle Ji and Brother Junyang's trip to the country, and actually guessed the second sister's intention before himself, and was a little discouraged. However, he also knows that in terms of intelligence, he can't compare with the second sister and Prince Rong at all, but he also has his own advantages: he is young, so he doesn't feel ashamed to get to the bottom of it.

"Brother-in-law, why are you waiting for the autumn and winter season?"

A "brother-in-law" made Murong Chong a little stunned.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of his uncle and Uncle Ji, Lin Ruo secretly pulled Murong Chong's clothes with his hands, Murong Chong came back to his senses and explained to Lin Qi simply: "Beiqi is a nomadic people, and they don't do farming, but they will do some trade with neighboring countries on weekdays, exchanging animal skins and horses for food. However, once winter comes, they will fall into the predicament of supplies, so taking advantage of raiding is their only way to survive. If at this time they knew that a gold mine had appeared not far from them, they would have wanted to take it for themselves in their greed. ”

"Oh! In this way, they will tear their faces with Daiguo and let our fishermen benefit. Lin Qi smashed his fist in his palm and concluded excitedly, and then thought of the gold that was melted into gold water, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Second sister, how much gold have you melted?" ”

"Not much, only 200,000 taels." Lin Ruo said lightly.

For Ji Hai and Ji Junyang, who had personally handled these two hundred thousand taels of gold, they clearly knew the weight of these two hundred thousand taels of gold.

According to today's algorithm, ten taels is one catty, and 200,000 taels of gold is 20,000 catties, which is a full weight of ten tons. It's a huge gold mine. The land of China has always been the main source of silver and copper for minting money, and one of the main reasons is the scarcity of gold.

200,000 taels of gold, for ordinary people, is an astronomical amount; But for the Lin family, the expenses are not huge.

For Lin Qi, the young shopkeeper who is the first to be in charge, 200,000 taels of gold is not much, just a gluttonous sea, and in less than a month, the income can reach this amount. Therefore, he pretended to nod steadily, and was not too distressed: "That's okay." ”

Murong Chong gasped.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold! That's four million taels of silver, or nearly 400,000 stone of grain!

It's okay?!

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, who was smiling lightly, and pulled the corners of his mouth: Sure enough, he is the richest man who spends money like running water! 200,000 taels of gold can only be regarded as a small amount of money......

"How are the supplies prepared near Danzhou?"

Ji Junyang replied: "It's almost mobilized." ”

Lin Qi asked curiously, "What supplies?" ”

Ji Junyang replied with a smile: "Of course, it is shovels, shovels, tents and the like prepared for gold diggers. The population of Danzhou is small, and the place we chose is relatively desolate, and all the necessities for sleeping and digging gold have been mobilized to hoard in shops near Danzhou. There is only grain and grass, and I have to wait for news from Ah Ruo. ”

"Uncle Luo has received the news and rented a sand boat, which can transport grain and grass to the north at any time. Yesterday, thanks to the blessing of the prince, the guys in the grain shop also followed the people of Jingzhao Mansion to the major grain farms to ask for debts. Next, it's up to you, the prince. ”

Murong Chong was a little agitated, the plan of revenge for the expedition to the north that had been described thousands of times in his heart had finally taken the first step. Then he nodded: "In the autumn, Beiqi will often harass the Donglu border, and I will use this to send more border garrisons to the emperor, and increase the northern garrisons when the Mid-Autumn Festival changes the guard, and it will not be easily detected by Beiqi and Daiguo." ”

Lin Ruo understood, and said to Ji Hai and Ji Junyang: "In this way, I have to trouble Uncle Ji to return to the country, delay it for some more time, take advantage of this time, be more prepared, and wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can start to spread some rumors." ”

Ji Hai nodded: "Young Miss, don't worry." ”

Lin Qi looked at the confident people, and suddenly thought of a question, so he blurted out and asked: "Second sister, what should I do with the gold mine when the armies of Beiqi, Daiguo and the prince are fighting?" ”

Lin Ruo said flatly: "Of course the winner wins." ”

Lin Qi exhaled: "That's good, brother-in-law, second sister and big brother Su all said that you have never lost a battle, and the gold mine will not be compensated, but it is all up to you!" ”

Hearing Lin Qi call "brother-in-law" again, Murong Chong was obviously much calmer than before.

However, the correlation between winning and losing the war and the profit and loss of the business made several people present a little embarrassed.

Lin Qi felt the sudden silence and asked cautiously, "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

Lin Ruo cleared his throat to relieve the embarrassment before speaking: "Of course the prince will win." However, the prince won the war, and this gold mine does not belong to us. ”

"Who's that?"

Lin Qian pulled his son's clothes and secretly explained: "Naturally, it belongs to the emperor." ”

"Huh?" There was a little frustration and unwillingness in Lin Qi's eyes, "Why-"

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. If Danzhou is included in the territory of Donglu, why is this gold mine not the emperor's? ”

Although Lin Qi doesn't understand politics, his brain is not stupid, and as soon as Lin Ruo explained it slightly, he understood the reason: although this gold mine was "created" by the Lin family, it can't let people know that it is the Lin family, otherwise, even if it is not a crime of bullying the king, it will make people jealous and not good for the Lin family if they are known for their ability to be so hand-eyed.

"Eh, the emperor finally exempted us from business taxes for a year, and the second sister sent a gold mine, and it was all returned......"

Looking at Lin Qi's wilting appearance, he obviously felt sorry for the 200,000 taels of gold. Lin Ruo beckoned to him, and although Lin Qi was dissatisfied, he still moved over.

Lin Ruo whispered a few words in Lin Qi's ear, and two golden lights suddenly flashed in Lin Qi's eyes, and he asked excitedly, "Really?" ”

"When did I lie to you?"

"Nope."

"Is that still distressing?"

Lin Qi tilted his head and thought about it, and replied honestly: "It's still a little distressing, but it's better." ”

Lin Ruo gently poked his forehead: "You! ”

Lin Qi smiled innocently and returned to Lin Qian's side to sit down again.

Small Theatre:

Ji Junyang: Ah Ruo, I buried the gold mine.

Lin Ruo: Brother Junyang is amazing! Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

Lin Qi: (*/ω\*) Huh? East wind? Touch!

Ji Junyang: (キ'゚Д゚ ́)!!

Lin Ruo: (▼Dish▼#) Lin Shaoai, you actually learned mahjong secretly?!
