Datang first village

There were several seals on Li Er's desk, then several newspapers, and finally a seal in a wooden box with a seal, which came from the Security Department of the Tang Empire and was privately printed by Qin Qiong.

Li Er waved his hand: "Let's all go out!"

The eunuchs and maids all retreated, and the imperial guards closed the door outside.

There were only Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji in the study.

"These few seals are meaningless. This business invitation makes me feel very fresh, but I don't know what the result will be?"

"I don't know, and I can't guess it." Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly.

Fang Xuanling also followed up and said: "My lord, I remember that when His Highness King Qin first mentioned the royal silk, all the chambers of commerce held a wait-and-see attitude. It has been nearly a year, and the several workshops with the royal title have expanded far beyond Ten times, the exquisiteness of silk is beyond imagination!"

"It will be very lively!" Li Er said with a smile.

In fact, Li Er knew about the matter of attracting investment. Li Yuanxing was the one who manipulated it, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was the one who finally collected the money.Li Er only needs to know one number.

Li Er slowly opened the wooden box, and there were two seals inside.

After reading the first copy, Li Er didn't have any words to say, so he directly lit it on the candlestick next to him, and then threw it into the copper basin.This is a report from Qin Qiong about Qin Wangzha's mercury mine, copper mine, and Tongguan gold mine.

Li Er had discussed with Li Yuanxing a long time ago, so he burned his watch.

At least before Li Yuanxing's coins came out, Li Er would definitely not mention this matter, and Li Er also believed that Li Yuanxing would keep it absolutely secret, because it involved a lot.

Before opening another copy, Li Erxin said that Qin Qiong had heard something from Li Yuanxing again.

But as soon as he opened it, Li Erteng stood up immediately.

It was written on the seal that there are several big golden trenches in Liaodong, and if all the gold is dug out, a new palace can be easily rebuilt.

Li Er knows how much it will cost to build a new palace.

According to Li Chunfeng's site selection, Li Yuanxing's design prototype, and Yuan Tiangang's and Li Chunfeng's improvements.Not to mention building houses and gardens, just using gold for decoration requires thousands of catties.

The huge gold-covered pillar above the main hall will definitely shock the nations of the world.

"I have to think about it, think about it, you should step back first!" Li Er waved his hand.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were the people he trusted the most, but Li Er was a little confused about this matter. He had heard Li Yuanxing say that there was gold in Liaodong, but what Li Er did not expect was such a huge amount.

The gold in Liaodong is different from the gold in Tongguan.

If the gold from Tongguan is dug out and brought back to Qinwangzhuang, it will be no different from putting it in your own pocket.

But Liaodong is different, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is three thousand miles away from Chang'an. Then, how to deal with these gold mines, even a decisive person like Li Er hesitated.

Gold mine!A gold mine out of control!

Li Er started to turn around in the study room, and he began to think about how to deal with it.

A full half hour passed, and Li Er was still spinning around in the study, walking in circles.

An inspiration suddenly popped up in my mind: "Come here!"

Eunuch Gao entered the study in response, Li Er saw Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were still waiting outside the door through the crack of the door, and immediately said to Eunuch Gao: "Please come in, both of them!"

"My lord!" Fang Xuanling and grandson Wuji saluted.

"The China Merchants Association still has two newspaper issues, and then it will start in the morning of the third day?

After hearing this, Eunuch Gao bowed and replied, "Exactly. It was originally planned to be held in Qinwangzhuang, but it was later placed in the Chamber of Commerce Street. Originally, the Cui family had some property in the Chamber of Commerce Street. So we gave up a newly renovated building.”

Li Er nodded and said to Changsun Wuji: "Wu Lang discovered a huge amount of gold mines in Liaodong. I thought, let's invite investment together. We can mine gold after getting the gold mining permit, otherwise we will be severely punished."

"My lord, is this buying mines first and then digging for gold?"

"Exactly!" Li Er put the map of the gold mine on the table.

Fang Xuanling didn't go to get the map, but said, "My lord, who has so much money to buy a gold mine?"

"What's the best way?"

"Sell it for a sum first, and then collect it every year, and promise that if you can't dig out gold in three years, your seniority will be refunded. But those who cheat will be severely punished!"

Compared with the cruelty of the whip dynasty in the later generations, the severe punishment of the Tang Dynasty is already very kind.

Luo Yi's rebellion is an absolute felony, but in fact, even if Luo Yi didn't surrender at that time, he and his son would have been killed, and basically he would have been exiled or enslaved.

After Luo Yi surrendered, his subordinates arrested hundreds of people, but only three were actually beheaded.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty are still very benevolent, and there will be no beheading scenes where blood flows into rivers.

For example, what Lao Lang often said, kill his whole family!

This whole family, placed in the whip dynasty, is the Zhujiu Clan. Put in the old wolf of the Tang Dynasty, it means that if he kills himself and then kills his son, this is the whole family, not even the elders in the family.

Regarding Fang Xuanling's proposal, Li Er agreed.

"Let's do it! I personally wrote a business invitation order on the Datang Daily. The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War. The three departments jointly attract investment. This is the location..." Speaking of the location, Li Er smiled: "Just put it on the Chamber of Commerce Street That Belvedere building that is about to open!"

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji saluted together, and then retreated.

Leaving the study, Changsun Wuji heaved a long sigh of relief, and Fang Xuanling also heaved a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads with some rejoicing. Fang Xuanling said, "Fortunately, there are soldiers matter!" Changsun Wuji also said: "Yes, fortunately there is no need to fight, these two years, it is not appropriate to lightly use weapons!"

Neither of them cared much about the gold mine.To put it bluntly, it's just that Li Er turned the distant money into cash.

"Does Fang Gong want to try the gold mine?"

"Of course I want to give it a try. A certain family spends a lot of money, but has no property. Once the luxury tax is increased, the family will have to wear common clothes, so naturally I have to give it a try. How about the eldest grandson Pushe? I didn’t look closely, but looking at it from a distance, the gold mine seems not too small, but it’s not too much either!”

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "Fang Gong is not as good as several families working together, so I won't participate."

It's not that Changsun Wuji doesn't want to participate, but he can't participate, because his sister is the queen, and it's better for him not to get involved in things like gold mines. Sometimes, he just avoids them.

Datang Newspaper, which is the official policy newspaper, and Chang'an Newspaper, which is the largest private newspaper.

The two major newspapers are completely out of stock. Even if the family has no money, they want to buy a newspaper because of the business promotion order, and they will buy one just to watch the fun.

Overprint!

It will never be reprinted. Datang Daily is an official newspaper, and there are as many copies as there are every day.Unless the overall printing volume is increased, but this is calculated on a monthly basis, and there will be no temporary additional printing.

The Chang'an Newspaper will not reprint, because if you print three more copies, you will lose a penny.

Chang'an News is a newspaper that loses money to print, and the difference in the price paid is earned back from advertising fees, but the advertising fees are collected monthly, so there are no special circumstances, and Chang'an News will not reprint.

It's hard to find a report!

The investment invitation order in the newspaper is the ticket for admission. Without the investment invitation order, you can't even enter the door.

The next day, 48 hours before the start of the Merchants Fair, the two newspapers printed [-] extra copies each, and [-] extra copies were printed for the surrounding counties.

Steel workshop, cement workshop, coke workshop, lime workshop.Merchants order!

The whole of Chang'an exploded in an instant. Less than half an hour after the newspaper was sold, people running wildly could be seen everywhere in the city of Chang'an. The running people all had one thing in common, that is, they were not of high status, not big families. The entourage is the side branch of a certain family.

If we talk about the investment invitation order on the first day, it is only for agriculture and business.Even if it is very attractive, it is not enough to make people crazy.But the business invitation order on the second day was written by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the steel workshop and the cement workshop, what does this represent?Within a few months in Yaozhou, there was a million catties of fine steel. This fine steel made the entire Datang crazy in terms of quantity and quality.

Although the members of the Seventh Family had already heard about it, they were still shocked when the real investment invitation order appeared.

"To participate or not to participate?" When Wang Jishan, the head of the Wang family, was speaking, he was holding Danshen Dan in one hand.He was really afraid that his heart would break suddenly.

"Participate or not, it's up to you, and it's up to us old people." Wang Jiasu shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued: "Our Wang family now owns [-] coal mines, of which nine are rich mines and large mines. The brochure I got from Yaozhou, some juniors in my family have tried it, and there are five coal mines that can be used for coking. The iron mines around Taiyuan don’t need to buy the mining area map of Prince Qin’s Mansion, they are mastered by themselves, and there are more than a dozen small mines. , there is also one in the big mining area.”

Wang Jishan nodded: "Yes, this iron and steel workshop can really be opened at any time, sending craftsmen to study in Yaozhou for three months, or half a year at most. I dare not say 30 jin of fine steel a month, but [-] jin will always some!"

"The eyes of the juniors in the family are all bright. The master doesn't eat meat, and won't let them eat meat. I'm afraid there will be trouble!"

"Don't worry, it's not too late to ask for a strategy. One million catties of fine steel is made into knives a year. I'm afraid the twelve guards can change their outfits once, so it's better to be careful about the steel workshop. "

Wang Jishan was very thoughtful, but in other words, steel was a strategic material in Datang.

"Uncle is going to visit several other houses!"

The Seventh Family's thinking is correct, money can be earned, and power can be increased.But there must be no items that stimulate the royal family, and steel is one of them.

But in fact, Li Er and Li Yuanxing really didn't care, because wanting to rebel didn't depend on having enough weapons. (To be continued.)
