After Yu Wenshu told Yu Wenhua and clarified the stakes, Yu Wenhua and Wan Ran woke up, only then did he realize how ignorant his thoughts were, and he didn't find out about the great opportunity in front of him.

Yu Wenshu asked worriedly, "Have you shown a disgusted attitude in front of Your Highness?" ”

"No, absolutely not."

"Fortunately, it's not a stupid person, you listen to me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not a person, we have followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the beginning, he has remembered the old love and knows how to seek benefits for his subordinates, whoever follows him is a little guard around him, who is not making money and earning fame, His Royal Highness will definitely not treat you badly, you just follow honestly, there is a father."

"Father, the child understands."

"Father, what should I do now?"

"You don't have to worry about what you need to do at all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to do things on a whim, and often he has already thought of a specific plan, you can go to the door tomorrow and ask His Highness what to do."

"It's still my father who understands His Highness."

The next day, Yu Wenhua came to Yang Guang's mansion again, and the two didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked straightforwardly: "Your Highness, I went back and thought about it all night, I didn't have a clue about going to Nanyang before, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it myself, so I came to ask Your Highness, what should I do?" ”

Yang Guang asked rhetorically: "Tell me what you thought of last night?" ”

"I don't know if I'm right, but since I'm going, I'll take our cloth and other items with me first, and when I arrive, I'll go to their royal family in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty, give gifts to show friendship, and then start trading activities to purchase their grain and other special items at low prices."

Yang Guang nodded: "There is nothing wrong with this, but before we leave, we have to carry out a ceremony, and I want you to bring some of the gentry in Daxing City and Luoyang City." ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

Yang Guang stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and on the map of the Great Sui that he had made before the expedition to Goguryeo, he stretched out his finger and drew a line from the Great Sui to Jiaozhi on the map and asked: "Your trip from the Great Sui to Jiaozhi and back, plus the time of trade and diplomacy, even if the wind and rain are smooth, how long do you think it will take?" ”

"Your Highness, I haven't traveled by sea, and this is really not accurate."

Yang Guang replied himself: "I estimate that it will take more than half a year, maybe about eight months, and if you encounter something uncontrollable on the road, it is not impossible to do it in a year." ”

"For such a long time, many things will be too slow to wait for you to return and start the next step, and the use of time is too poor, so I have to let you take someone with you this time."

"I don't understand what Your Highness means."

Yang Guang explained: "Choose those big trading houses in the two cities that deal in clothing, porcelain, and other commodities that are unique to us, and let them send people to Nanyang with you, this time let them negotiate with the people of Nanyang, and directly start to cooperate, so as to lay a good foundation for future trade." ”

This is actually the same as many modern heads of state visiting other countries, they have to bring their own business teams to go, professional people do professional things, mutual benefit.

Of course, in modern times, because of the development of communications, in fact, many of them are negotiated online, that is, they come offline to sign a contract and give enough face, but the Sui Dynasty is different, and you have to go in person.

Therefore, Yang Guangcai plans to let Yu Wenhua and bring people this time.

"But Your Highness, if you want to take someone like this, I'm afraid it's very difficult."

"To tell you the truth, it's naturally difficult, but I'll solve this matter, anyway, there is nothing to do in Daxing City recently, I'll just deal with it."

Yu Wenhua nodded: "Then thank you, Your Highness." ”

"Just say thank you, it was originally the task I gave you."

Yang Guang continued: "There is also this route that we have not taken, so we need sailors who are familiar with the route. ”

Yu Wenhua hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I will handle this matter as soon as possible." ”

"No need, I will explain to Li Yuan when I left yesterday, he is in charge of the Eagle Yangwei, he knows a lot of people, and there are many people who were arrested from the Southern Dynasty, especially the southernmost group, who are more familiar with maritime affairs, see if you can find some people to come out."

Yu Wenhua was stunned, and sure enough, as his father said, Yang Guang generally thought about the important part of the matter, as long as he followed it.

……

In the next few days, a report suddenly appeared in the newspapers of Daxing City and Luoyang City for a long time.

[There is a big gold mine in Nanyang, and those who get it are rich and rival the country]

At first, everyone didn't think it was a big news, but even the newspapers had it, and it was still publicized, so they slowly began to believe it.

There are more and more people discussing, and in today's Changle Fang, a treasure map suddenly appeared in the auction room.

【Treasure Map of Nanyang Gold Mine】

The news of this treasure map shocked everyone, including everyone who thought that the Nanyang gold mine was a fiction, and it was believable.

Because the reputation accumulated by the auction house over the years is very reliable, everything that goes out through the auction house is true, and if there is an auction house that pays full responsibility, it means that the auction house is responsible for this treasure map.

On the same day, everyone received news that the crown prince Yang Guang personally went to the auction house to appreciate this treasure map, which undoubtedly made the credibility of this matter rise sharply.

Changle Fang is the largest distribution center for true and false news transmission in Daxing City, and the most intense discussion today is the matter of the treasure map.

In the lobby of Xinghualou, two young people were drinking and chatting.

"I've heard about it, the treasure map of the Nanyang Gold Mine seems to be real, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to ask for it in person."

"The inexplicable appearance of the Nanyang gold mine, why do I not believe it so much?"

"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, forget it, you won't be able to eat hot pie in the sky. ”

"Why are you still in a hurry? You won't have any gossip, your family is on an errand in the Tang State Mansion, is there any news, share it. ”

The man smiled, drank a full glass of wine and said: "A few days ago, when Tang Guogong chatted with the old Duchess of Guo, he said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is forming a fleet in the South Seas, and he also named Yu Wenhua and the team leader, although we don't know much, but these big people must know more than us, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really forms a fleet, then this news should be true." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already set out to assemble a fleet?"

The man exclaimed, and the rest of the people in the hall also looked over, and his companion hurriedly grabbed him, and said reproachfully, "You are trying to kill me, but this news has not been announced to the public." ”

The hustle and bustle fell silent, but everyone close to them listened intently to what the two men had to say next.

The people from the Tang State Mansion noticed this situation and glanced at their companions reproachfully: "If this news leaks out, I will be killed by you. ”

"Brother, don't worry, absolutely not, then do you think the matter of this Nanyang gold mine is true."

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, I think so, now the auction will say that there is a treasure map, if this treasure map is true, then today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down, this treasure map will not appear in the auction 100%, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely take it directly, if it is still kept, I think this thing is likely to be true."

I don't know why the news is almost the same, and the news continues to spread all over Changle Fang, and there are many speculations about whether the treasure map is true or false.

Yang Guang, who holds the two lines of public opinion at the same time, wants to guide public opinion so simply, it is not too simple.

The newspaper is in the Ming Dynasty, and the continuous reporting of the newspaper will strengthen the memory, and the subconscious will continue to think about this matter, and the more sworn and true it is, the more people will believe.

Ying Yangwei was in the dark, and Li Yuan asked Ying Yangwei to disguise himself as a vendor, a servant, a diner, and so on to spread the news, so that the people around him knew some of the inside story of this matter inexplicably.

The news spread was not limited to the prince's fleet preparing to go south, and the prince would directly take down the treasure map and so on.

And these news will be verified one by one in the next time, and with these events like the pre-news being verified, then everyone will be extremely sure about the matter of the Nanyang Gold Mine.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

The emergence of a super gold mine that can make people rich and unrivaled can make speculators and adventurers crazy at the same time.

And the next day, the first news was verified, and the auction announced that the treasure map of the Nanyang gold mine had been bought by a mysterious buyer.

The mystery buyer doesn't have to guess to know who it is.

Yang Jun, the king of Qin, found Yang Guang by the canal in the evening of the same day.

"Second brother, you really have a sense of leisure, are you here to play on the edge of the canal?"

"Third child, why are you here, and how do you know I'm by the canal?"

"I went to the mansion first, and then I found out that the second brother was on the edge of the canal."

"Since you're here, take a walk with me?"

"Second brother, please."

The two got on a small boat, and Yang Guang asked: "Third brother, have you walked the canal and waterway from Daxing City to Luoyang, what do you think?" ”

Yang Jun felt that Yang Guang was going to start flaunting his merits by asking this, who didn't know that this canal was Yang Guang's idea, and it was reasonable to show off his exploits without saying anything.

At this time, although Yang Jun was unhappy, he also had to compliment and said: "I have traveled back and forth between Daxing City and Luoyang City many times, indeed, after this canal, the speed is several times faster, and now the merchant ships on the canal are also extremely prosperous. ”

Yang Guang looked at the canal at sunset and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the trade driven by the canal is so huge, even I didn't expect it at the beginning." ”

"By the way, what are you looking for me today?"

Yang Jun was a person who couldn't hide his words, so he asked, "Second brother, have you heard about the Nanyang Gold Mine?" ”

Yang Guang turned his back, put his hand behind his back, faced the setting sun, smiled slightly but sighed and said: "Alas, you are thinking about my Nanyang gold mine treasure map, yes, the thing is in my hand." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yang Guang said: "This thing is boiling outside, I think it has too much impact, I am afraid that there are ignorant young people who believe it and really go to the South Seas, and the wind and waves on the sea eat people without spitting out bones, so I took it back first, so as not to harm others." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Jun firmly believed in three points.

Yang Guang knows Yang Jun's character very well, if he says that this thing is really useful, he doesn't believe it, in his eyes, he must be pretending, he won't share anything with him, he hides it and thinks it's real.

Yang Jun immediately followed: "It is rumored outside that the second brother is going to form a team to go to Nanyang to explore the treasure of the gold mine, and the rumor is that there is a trouble, so I said that it is impossible, is the second brother the one who is greedy for money?" ”

"How did you get me out there?"

"Let's just say that the second brother is greedy for money and asks for treasure, but the second brother has someone under me who is well versed in the navigation of the southern seas, if the second brother thinks he can trust me, it is better to give me the treasure map, I will help the second brother study and study, and when the time comes, it will be a lie to publish it, so as not to talk about the second brother outside."

Yang Guang asked suspiciously: "Is there anyone under your command who is familiar with maritime affairs?" ”

"Over the years, I have walked north and south, and I have met many people, and there are always a few capable people."

Yang Guang shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's all fake, what is there to study, and the matter will pass after a while." ”

Yang Jun lowered his voice and asked, "Second brother, do you think it's possible that this treasure is true?" ”

"How is it possible, how can such an unsubstantiated thing be true."

Seeing that Yang Guang refused to reveal any news, Yang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Guang who was standing at the bow of the boat with his back to him.

"Second brother, we are brothers, so we don't hide it, if the matter of the Nanyang Gold Mine is true, I want you to talk to me, I don't have any big ideas, I just think that if the second brother is willing to take his brother to get a piece of the pie, my brother is grateful, I am not the fourth, I think about some conspiracies all day long, I am willing to follow the second brother you to mix."

Yang Guang felt that Yang Jun had made a lot of progress compared to before, and he knew that through this kind of unsuitable thing, he had come here to show his loyalty.

There has been progress, but only a little.

Of course, Yang Guang knew Yang Jun's words, and he couldn't believe a word, he and Yang Xiu were now a community of interests in the true sense, and he was the biggest roadblock in front of them.

But Yang Guang stopped Yang Jun with some hesitation before he left.

"The third child, it's not that I want to hide it from you, in fact, the matter of the Nanyang gold mine, I inquired about it from many channels, I want to try it, you said this to me today, I have it in my heart, I do plan to go to Nanyang, if I really want to do it, but it is impossible to hide it from you, it is better to tell you earlier."

"Second brother, is this Nanyang gold mine thing true?"

Yang Guang nodded with some hesitation: "I have been researching with Li Yuan for a long time, and I think it may be true, it is worth trying, if you want to go, I will take you, but don't tell others, especially the fourth." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, you can trust me, I will never spread the word."
