Chapter 438: Copper Vein

The corners of Jun's mouth smiled, he also knew a little about the legend of Jinling, the Jin people suppressed the king of Nanjing City and spread very widely, I am afraid that even a seven-year-old child has heard of it, but the Jin people of the Qin period, in fact, they are just bronze people, for example, it is said in the Qin Treatise that 'the way of the first king, burn the words of a hundred schools, and foolish heads; ~ Famous city, kill heroes, collect the world's soldiers, gather Xianyang, sell the blade, cast as the golden man, and weaken the people of the world. For a long time, the word "gold" actually refers to the color of copper, not gold.

Copper is also called red gold, and it was called copper in later generations: "What is the old gentleman talking about this allusion for?" ”

Lao Xiucai said solemnly: "The old man has been studying miscellaneous studies and rummaging through historical books, but he has discovered a big secret from it. ”

Oh Jun saw that Lao Xiucai was serious, and he looked like he really had such a thing, and he couldn't help but be moved, not that he was interested in any treasure, but that the five words 'big secret' aroused his curiosity, people have curiosity, and Zhu Jun was no exception: "Please continue to speak, sir." ”

"Lao Yu once read such a record in a history of the Western Han Dynasty." Lao Xiucai talked about Jinling's ruddy face and demeanor, and he looked more than ten years younger: "Qin Shi Huang's fifth and last tour to the east. He was alive and well in the clouds, floating the river to the east, and saw the kingly Jinling in the sunshine from a distance. When the royal caravan arrived at Jinling, Qin Shi Huang was very excited and attracted by the momentum of the tiger and dragon pan here.

Along the way, accompanied by the highly advanced monks Changsheng and Immortal Dao, they have been cultivating for decades, proficient in the art of feng shui, and also proficient in the art of longevity, they have been talking happily and talking about the feng shui of the capital. Qin Shi Huang was very strange that after arriving in Jinling, these two monks were surprisingly silent. Looking at the topography of Jinling and the shape of the mountains and rivers, their eyes were still full of worries.

Qin Shi Huang asked: "Jinling is victorious, the weather is thousands, why are the two of them silent?"

Fangshan is located in the southeast of Jinling, the top of Fangshan is flat like an official seal, also known as Tianyin Mountain. The two alchemists looked at each other, worried, and wanted to stop talking.

Qin Shi Huang said: "Within the four seas, it is not the king's land." The world is the emperor's world, what is there to fear! But it doesn't hurt to say, and you are not guilty. ”

Fang Shi Changsheng whispered: "The terrain of Jinling is dangerous and magnificent, it is not a mediocre place, it is not trivial!"

The immortal guide approached Qin Shi Huang. solemnly attached his ear and said: "Jinling is the terrain of the dragon vein. Tiger in the dragon pan. The terrain is steep. The king is extremely angry. In 500 years, there will be the Son of Heaven! ”

Qin Shi Huang thought he was the first emperor. Future generations. The royal lineage continues. One surname empire for thousands of years. Endless. How can there be a son of heaven in other places besides the surname Ying? How unreasonable! Qin Shi Huang was shocked. Quickly asked, "What's the best idea?"

Standing on the dragon boat and living on the ground. Glance at the topography of Jinling. Pointing at Fang Shan, he said, "Cut off Fang Shan."

Wearing a square scarf, the earth immortal guide saw Qin Shi Huang's puzzled face. He said calmly: "Fangshan is located in the southeast of Jinling. You see. The top of Fangshan is flat like an official seal. It is known as Tianyin Mountain. Celestial Seal. Naturally, it is the official seal of heaven rewarding the earth. It determines the rise and fall of the land of Jinling and the auspicious fate of the king. Broke the dragon vein of Fangshan. It is to block the royal spirit of Jinling. Then lead the Huai water through Jinling. Access to the Yangtze River. Let this Qinhuai River wash away the king's spirit. Your Majesty can rest easy. The emperor's throne has been thousands of years and eternity! ”

Qin Shi Huang shouted: "Good!"

Qin Shi Huang took a look at Lion Mountain and Ma'an Mountain in the north of Jinling City. Commanded: "These two mountains." Also broken mountains! "Thereafter. Jinling was renamed Moling. Moling? Isn't it a forage field for horses? The two alchemists listened. I couldn't help but laugh. Praise the emperor for his wisdom and generosity. It is a thousand years old, and the king of heaven and earth is bestowed.

After that, Jinling was changed to Moling, Qin Shi Huang still felt uneasy, so he sent people to cast gold twelve, buried in the ground, but when burying gold, he found an unexpected thing. ”

Lao Xiucai said this endlessly, and his tone paused: "When the craftsmen were digging, they found that the entire underground was full of copper veins......

Lao Xiucai said that he will not say it anymore, although the gold man is a copper land, but in the current sense, the value of the red copper land is not low, and now the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty are officially exchanged for silver coins is ten to one, but because a large amount of copper needs to be put into industrial production, the copper coins on the market are often very small, so that on the black market, some people are willing to exchange one or two silver for seven or eight copper coins.

If you dig up the copper man or the copper vein, the value is lower than the value of the gold mine on the surface, but the copper vein is often more gold vein, so its value is not more than the gold mine.

Zhu Jun was a little interested in the so-called copper vein, but what Lao Xiucai said was based on the so-called history of the earth, so he didn't believe it very much, so he just hummed and stopped talking.

Lao Xiucai said hurriedly: "I'm afraid my lord doesn't believe in the old words, in fact, at the beginning, the old man just looked at it casually, and then he began to involve the books of the geographical chronicles, and a few foreigners."

have been discussed, for this reason, the old man also deliberately went to the mountain to explore a few old Xiucai and said: "Sure enough, there is red copper, continuous peaks are everywhere, and the old man has recently researched the place where the gold is buried, just below the restaurant, but unfortunately the shopkeeper and the guys of the restaurant are vulgar people, and the old man intends to point them to a wealth and wealth, and they actually ......" Lao Xiucai said this, and sighed heavily.

Zhu Jun was excited, if you can find copper ore in Nanjing, not only can you save a lot of trouble in transportation, local materials, the whole Jiangsu, Zhejiang can benefit, now is in the stage of capital accumulation, all kinds of facilities need to be built, with a copper mine, the circulation of copper coins in the imperial court has greatly increased, the mint has worked overtime for twelve hours, plus the use of copper in industry, many things have been solved naturally. More importantly, if what the whole old Xiucai said is true, then with his ability to detect the mineral veins, he is also a talent, in fact, the entire Daming mountain peaks are thousands, and the various minerals buried in it are innumerable, and the development of industry makes the demand for minerals in the Ming Dynasty extremely high, and there are very few proven ore veins, the biggest constraint is because of the lack of exploration talents, and now, this old Xiucai is a very knowledgeable look.

"Can you really be sure that there are veins? Where is the vein located? ”

Lao Xiucai's mouth trembled for a moment, and he stopped talking, and after a moment of delay, he said: "My lord, although the old man is repaying his kindness, but if the adult discovers the copper mine and mobilizes manpower to mine, can you give the old man a little share, hey, the old man is not a lover of money, but he still has a few grandchildren under his knees, if he can't leave them something when he kicks his legs, this ............"

Zhu Jun can naturally understand, after all, he found the veins, but these ores are still raw ores, there is no way to refine, and they cannot be transported in large quantities, so it is equivalent to guarding an empty mountain and not being able to excavate, so he wants to find someone to cooperate.

Zhu Jun said: "If you can really find the vein of the copper mine, it will naturally not be a problem, you are indispensable, dare to ask Mr. your surname, where are you from?" ”

Lao Xiucai forgot that he didn't report his name, and said with a cramped face: "Lao Yu's surname is Fang, his name is Shijin, a native of Nanjing, he has been a Xiucai before, and he has worked as a bookkeeper in the Nanjing Mansion, specializing in sorting out local chronicles, and later the Qing army fought in Jiangnan, and Lao Yu lost his livelihood and went home to study for fifteen years." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and Lao Xiucai was about to ask Zhu Jun's name, when the carriage stopped abruptly, and Xiao Guizi's voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, it's here." ”

Lao Xiucai's eyes were confused, at this time Zhu Jun had already gotten off the carriage, and boarded the carriage with the support of Xiao Guizi, and when Lao Xiucai came out, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: "This is ............" I have never eaten pork, nor have I seen a pig walking, at least I should have heard what a pig looks like, although the rumors are different, but Lao Xiucai immediately saw where he was.

"The villain is dead, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offended the emperor......" Fang Shijin suddenly came to his senses and knelt down on the stone bricks paved with white marble, with a miserable face.

Zhu Jun was in a very good mood, and hurriedly helped Fang Shijin up: "Those who don't know are not guilty, get up, I have a place to borrow you, Xiao Guizi, go and change Mr. Fang's clothes, take a bath and take it to the Qinzheng Palace, I want to talk to Mr. Fang."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After Zhang Shijin took a bath and changed his clothes, he seemed to be a lot more energetic, and was led to the Qinzheng Hall by Xiao Guizi, and hurriedly worshipped, after all, he was just a showman, and he even blushed and panted when he saw a third- or fourth-grade official on weekdays, not to mention that in front of him was the Ninety-Five Honor, the lord of a country.

Zhu Jun asked people to move Jindun and asked Zhang Shijin to sit down, Zhang Shijin finally calmed down his excitement and was about to speak, but Zhu Jun had already spoken: "Does Mr. Zhang have research on detecting minerals?" ”

Zhang Shijin first nodded, and then shook his head, in front of the emperor, how dare he say that there is any research: "Micro technology is the end of learning, not to talk about any research, just the past study of geography, a little study of geography, since the rest of the home, I have more leisure time, sometimes I will follow the records of the county chronicles, the government records to take a look, so I have some experience, some miscellaneous studies also have exploration records, although it is only a few words, but together together, it will benefit a lot." ”

Zhu Jun drummed and said: "That being the case, I plan to set up an exploration academy, and you will be the bachelor of the exploration academy, how about it?" ”

Zhang Shijin was stunned, he didn't expect to be able to be an official with this kind of side branch skill, or a bachelor, in charge of an exploration institute, although he may not have the power, but it is also prominent enough for him.
