Chapter 144: Gold Mine
After saying that, Fan Li explained to him why she gave him a large amount of gold ingots at both meetings.
"I found a gold mine somewhere in Tianfu County!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Zhang immediately changed color.
"Gold mines?"
Fan Li nodded, lay down on the chair as if resigned, and began to preach to him:
"That's right! Our Fan family's business in Wucheng is very miscellaneous, there are inns, wine shops, and mountain groceries. Not long ago, the barbarians hadn't come over, and Uncle Wen heard that there was a rare mountain goods on the side of the Second Sister Mountain, and he wanted to try his luck to see if he could find this kind of mountain goods and enhance the reputation of the Jixiang Chamber of Commerce. ”
What Fan Li said had nothing to do with the gold mine, but Huang Zhang didn't interrupt him, but let him continue.
"Uncle Wen arrived at the second sister mountain, it rained in the mountain for a few days, and he didn't see this kind of mountain goods after looking for a long time, just when he was about to come back, the road collapsed, and the carriage fell into the ditch on the side, Uncle Wen fell into it with the carriage, and injured his hand, and when he came out of the river, he didn't find a little yellow mud in the wound. Uncle Wen didn't care about it at that time, and when he came back to bandage Uncle Wen's wounds, he found that there was a little golden sand mixed in the yellow mud! ”
Speaking of this, Fan Li looked excited, and it could be seen that he must have been even more excited when he found this golden sand.
"Later, Uncle Wen and I rushed to the ditch of the second sister's mountain, and after digging for a long time, we found a lot of golden sand! Uncle Wen has lived for decades, and he can conclude at a glance that there is a gold mine here! The gold ingots for His Highness were made from the gold ore mined from there. ”
After Huang Zhang listened, he glanced at the dreamer, and before he could speak, the dreamgirl took out a map from his arms, which was the map of the mountains and rivers of Sunan that Huang Zhang bought from Fan Li.
Now all of Huang Zhang's maps are kept on the girl, and when he got the map, there was also the temperature of the girl, but Huang Zhang didn't pay attention to this, and he immediately started to find out where the second sister mountain was on the map.
"Your Highness, you don't need to look for it, the second sister mountain is not marked on the map, it is just a small hill in the northeast of Tianfu County, and the location is relatively hidden, so no one has found it."
Hearing Fan Li's words, Huang Zhang put away the map and returned it to his wife.
He looked at Fan Li, the matter of the gold mine just now was enough for Fan Li to be killed.
According to the law of the country, private individuals are not allowed to mine metal ores, if anyone dares to mine privately, according to the preciousness of the minerals, iron ore will be imprisoned for more than 20 years, and the heavy will be beheaded, the whole family of copper ore will be exiled, silver ore will be directly beheaded, and gold ore will be beheaded all over the house, the circumstances are serious, and even the three tribes will be wiped out.
Now Fan Li's private gold mine is not reported, and he should be questioned and beheaded according to the law of Su Guo.
But Huang Zhang knew that since Fan Li dared to tell himself about this kind of beheading, then he should have his own plans.
"Say, what conditions!" Huang Zhang said.
Hearing Huang Zhang's words, Fan Li's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn! Before, there was a strong sense of sadness, but now it is a look of happiness, exhaling, and constantly beating his chest, looking like he has survived the catastrophe.
"I knew I was right!" Fan Li rejoiced.
The reason why he dared to tell Huang Zhang about this kind of copied and beheaded thing was that he would not do anything to Huang Zhang even if he knew his secret, on the contrary, he even had the possibility of cooperating with Huang Zhang.
Sure enough, when he saw that Huang Zhang did not leave directly angrily but asked himself about his conditions, he knew that he had made the right bet: Huang Zhang was short of money!
"Don't be too happy, if I'm not satisfied, I'll still do it according to the law!" Huang Zhang said with a cold face.
However, at this moment, Fan Li didn't take this seriously, and hurriedly said: "That is, please rest assured, Your Highness will be satisfied with this condition!" ”
"Say!"
"Illegal mining of gold ore, but if it is in the name of His Highness, mining gold for the construction of Linjiang City, this is not considered private mining, so it is not illegal in theory. When the gold ore is refined, the proceeds will be divided into the ninth highness and I will share it, what do you think? ”
Nineteen points? Fan Li's is tantamount to breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters, although this success will not necessarily be less, but the gap is inevitably too big.
Huang Zhang shook his head directly, and when he saw Huang Zhang shaking his head, Fan Li's face immediately looked bad.
"Your Highness, you're not right, you can't let me work hard in vain, this up and down labor costs, material costs can cost a lot of money, you can't not make no money at all, right?"
I saw Huang Zhang stretch out three fingers.
"Sanqi, I'm seven, you're three!"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Li jumped up directly.
He said before that when he was nineteen, his heart hurt so much, but helplessly, he knew Huang Zhang's methods, if he really had to be ruthless, he didn't want it, but now, Huang Zhang directly gave him thirty percent!
Thirty percent! What is the concept? This thirty percent of the gold income is enough for his Fan family and his auspicious chamber of commerce to extend its influence to the entire Su country, and even the surrounding countries.
Fan Li couldn't wait to kowtow to Huang Zhang directly on the ground, and finally a thousand words turned into a thanks.
I saw Fan Li bow deeply to Huang Zhang, this bow was for him and the Fan family.
"No, I have to thank you for this great gift, but it has solved my urgent need! Now I don't have to worry about the lack of funds. ”
After Huang Zhang finished speaking, Fan Li suddenly touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.
"Your Highness, this ...... Yes...... So a small question! ”
"Huh?"
"It's just that after this second sister mountain, I want to cross Wucheng!"
As soon as these words were said, the meaning was obvious, they were just discussing how to divide it now, but in order to really ship, they had to take Wucheng down.
In other words, Huang Zhang's current problem is still not solved,
At this moment, Huang Zhang's face turned black directly.
The girl on the side looked like this, she had already guessed that Huang Zhang must be in a hurry for funds, but she didn't say it, and what she said just now directly exposed his embarrassment.
"Otherwise, how much money Your Highness needs, I can cushion it for Your Highness first." Fan Li said.
"If you are the first chamber of commerce in Wucheng, you can say so, but with your current strength, it is difficult to pay for a dock, and you don't have to think about it later, you can't afford it."
As soon as he said this, Fan Li was quite embarrassed.
Indeed, the scale of his auspicious chamber of commerce is not large, and it is difficult to vigorously support Huang Zhang.
"You had concerns about this before, why didn't you tell me?" The girl suddenly spoke.
Hearing the girl speak, Huang Zhang smiled, fortunately Hu Yi'er didn't follow, otherwise it would be a big shame.
"I can carry these things one by one, and there is no point in having one more person working hard!"
"Stupid!" The girl suddenly scolded: "Why are you so tired alone, I can help you!" ”
Huang Zhang doesn't want to put pressure on the people closest to him, whether it is Hu Yi'er or a long-time girl, one is a maid who has always accompanied him, and the other is a sister he cares about, and he has the responsibility and obligation to protect them.
Huang Zhang smiled bitterly: "Help me? How can you help? ”
