The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 734 The troubles caused by gold (three more)

"My lord, my subordinates will immediately call all the 33 branches to transport gold to Youzhou. We must find a way to overcome this difficulty." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.

"All this is just a drop in the bucket. We want to tide over this difficulty. The gold in our hands must be at least twice as much as it is now, otherwise it may be difficult for all the families to join forces." Li Tai said with a sigh.

"My lord, can I say hello to the emperor about this matter? Let's see if the emperor can send some gold to my lord." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai.

"Father already took out 50 taels of gold last time, plus the gold that the crown prince sent us. Only then did we reach the amount of gold reserves we have now. If you want to ask Father for gold again, I am afraid that Father is also There is nothing I can do." Li Tai said after waving his hands.

"My lord, my Fanyang Lu family can give me 20 taels of gold to support my lord through this difficult time." Lu Wanda got up and said to Li Tai.

Li Tai never expected that at this critical moment, Lu Wanda would step forward. 20 taels of gold is not a small amount, I am afraid that even Fan Yang and Lu's family will have cleared everything.

"My lord, although my Gongsun family is not as good as Fan Yang's Lu family, I can still take out [-] taels of gold to help my lord overcome this difficulty." Gongsun Tian then said to Li Tai.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was willing to take out the gold in their hands, and in a short time they raised nearly 40 taels of gold.This was something Li Tai never expected.

With the support of 40 taels of gold, although it may not be able to overcome this difficulty.But at least it can barely support it for a while.That's enough time for Li Tai to buffer.

"I thank you all for your support, but I will not use the gold in your hands unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, I can't bet on your wealth selfishly." Li Tai said to everyone.

"My lord, if my lord first came to Youzhou a few years ago, my subordinates would not have made such a bold decision. Now my lord has managed the entire Yan Kingdom in an orderly manner. This is definitely something that everyone can see."

"So please don't refuse, my lord. Even if I, Fan Yang, and Lu's family belong to the country of Yan, I can make a little contribution to the people of the country of Yan." Lu Wanda said to Li Tai again.

Then everyone stood up and expressed the hope that Li Tai would give them a chance to contribute to the people of Yan.This made Li Tai extremely grateful.

So Li Tai said: "Since this is the case, everyone can prepare the gold. When it is absolutely necessary, this king will speak to everyone."

At this time, Xu Liang, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "My lord, we can deliver gold to Youzhou with great fanfare during this time. The larger the delivery volume, the better."

"Is your head caught by the door? If a large amount of gold is brought in, why should you worry so much, my lord?" Cheng Tieniu said after glaring at Xu Liang.

But Li Tai didn't think like Cheng Tieniu, but smiled and said to Xu Liang: "This is a way, at least let those nobles of the family see that this king has a sufficient amount of gold in his hands."

"This is a feasible method, but these fake gold must be made to be fake. Only in this way can we deceive those nobles from aristocratic families." Liu Rengui said.

At this time, Cheng Tieniu finally understood where the gold Xu Liang was talking about came from.It turned out that they were going to bluff with fake gold.So Cheng Tieniu naturally kept his mouth shut.

"My lord, leave this matter to my subordinates. I guarantee that the gold produced can be faked." Shen Yunfei got up and said to Li Tai.

"It's the most suitable thing for Yunfei to do this. You go to Zou Fengchi to get 5 taels of gold. Start making fake gold right away." Li Tai said to Shen Yunfei after nodding.

"My lord, this is actually a good opportunity. We can use our tricks and let those nobles from aristocratic families support the implementation of Tang Yuan." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"I don't know what the military division can do to make them cocoon themselves." Li Tai asked Xu Liang after hearing this.

"These aristocratic families want to complete this conspiracy, even if they use all the family assets, they may not be able to complete this conspiracy."

"So they will definitely unite with the big families in the Central Plains. And these families are likely to be the other families of the five surnames and seven clans. Because only with the support of such a big family can they successfully complete this conspiracy."

"So the lord can take advantage of this opportunity to gather as much wealth as possible to Youzhou. As long as the money is exchanged for Tang yuan at the lord, there is no way to leave Youzhou again."

"At that time, those noble families will not be able to explain to those five surnames and seven sects. And taking refuge in the lord is their only way out." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"Don't forget that they used the Tang Yuan in their hands to exchange all the gold in the Lord's hands. At that time, they will pay back with the gold in their hands. Isn't it a reasonable explanation for others." Cheng Tieniu asked Xu Liang.

"If the lord introduces legislation at a critical moment, gold transactions will no longer be allowed within the country of Yan, and gold will not be allowed to flow out of the country. Do you think they will dare to export the gold in their hands at that time?"

"At that time, in order to express their loyalty to the lord, they will definitely use the gold to exchange Tang Yuan with the lord again. At that time, the gold will return to the lord's hands again. And Tang Yuan will also be implemented smoothly in the territory of Yan State." Xu Liang said. Said.

"The military strategist's method is wonderful, but if you want to follow suit, you must have a sufficient amount of gold. It is absolutely impossible to sustain it for a long time by relying on those fake gold."

"That's why we have to mine gold. After all, this king owns the mining right. So there is no need to report this matter to the imperial court." Li Tai nodded and said.

"My lord, it is not difficult for our Shen family to mine gold mines. But where there are such huge gold mines, it is not easy to find." Shen Yunfei said to Li Tai.

"Originally, during the process of conquering the Khitan Kingdom, I got a map of a gold mine. Originally, this king didn't intend to mine this gold mine, but now we can only mine him." Li Tai said to Shen Yunfei said.

Li Tai didn't get any map of the gold mine, but Li Tai, who has the memory of later generations, naturally knows where the Jiapigou gold mine is.

And this Jiapigou gold mine is at the junction of Khitan Shiwei and Goguryeo.The exact location is near Fuyu City, which now belongs to Li Tai's vassal state.

"My lord, I don't know where the gold mine map shows. If it's not in our country of Yan, then we have the right to mine. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to mine." Liu Rengui asked Li Tai.

"Don't worry, Liu Xiang, the location of this gold mine is in Fuyu City. And this Fuyu City is in our vassal state. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in mining this gold mine."

"The problem lies in the speed at which we mine and refine gold. If the speed of refining is too slow, I'm afraid we won't be able to quench our thirst." Li Tai said.

After all, the process of gold refining in ancient times was very simple, and it was difficult to achieve a large amount of purified gold.So the refining speed of this gold will definitely not be very high.

Li Tai still clearly remembers that during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty, the daily gold output of Jiapigou reached more than 6 taels.During the heyday of Jiapigou, [-] taels of gold could be mined a year.

If you follow this mining speed, you will not be able to meet your own needs at all.However, as for the extraction techniques such as amalgamation and cyanide extraction, there is no way to realize them now.

Just when Li Tai was in trouble, Shen Yunfei said: "As long as the lord can find the gold mine, the lord doesn't need to worry about refining the gold. As long as the gold mine is handed over to his subordinates, the lord will have a steady stream of money to keep it." gold."

"Okay, then I will hand over the map to you later. Then you start to arrange the mining of the gold mine." Li Tai nodded and said.

……

Li Tai, who returned to the inner mansion, sat alone in the study and kept thinking.Although he knew many ways to refine gold, he didn't know if it was applicable now.

While Li Taiming was thinking hard, Li Tianming came to report to Li Tai: "Your Highness, Mr. Mo is seeking to see you outside."

Although Li Tai didn't know about Mo Tiannan, why did he come to see him at this time.But at this time, when Mo Tiannan came to see him, he definitely had something important to discuss with him.So he immediately ordered Li Tianming to invite Mo Tiannan into his study.

After Mo Tiannan came to Li Tai's study, he first saluted Li Tai, and then said, "Your Highness, even if we have found a gold mine now, it may be unrealistic to own a large amount of gold in a short period of time."

"Even if the Shen family boy is good at alchemy, refining tens of thousands of taels of gold every year is the limit. Unless His Highness can spend a lot of manpower and material resources."

Hearing what Mo Tiannan said, Li Tai couldn't help sighing and said: "This king is also worried about this matter, but now I really can't think of any better way."

"Your Highness, if there is really no other way, His Highness can try to open the Hidden Spirit Palace. The gold there can definitely help His Highness get through this." Mo Tiannan whispered to Li Tai.

Li Tai never expected that Mo Tiannan would suggest that he open the Hidden Spirit Palace.Although Li Tai knew that in the hidden mansion, the gold he owned was not just a few million taels.

But Li Taike really never thought about using the wealth there.After all, Li Tai knew very well in his heart that it was not the time for him to move to the Hidden Spirit Mansion.

So Li Tai shook his head and said: "The Hidden Spirit Secret Mansion is the foundation of my Mo sect, and this king will never touch it unless it is absolutely necessary. So please don't mention this again, Mr. Mo."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Mo Tiannan felt an unknown excitement in his heart.After all, not many people can refuse the temptation brought by the hidden house.

Although currently in Li Tai's hands, he only has eight maps of the Hidden Spirit Mansion, and he still lacks the map of Gongshang's family.But with Li Tai's current power, it is not impossible to open the hidden house.

But Li Tai never had the idea of ​​using the hidden talisman.This shows that Li Tai is not using Momen, but sincerely wants to promote Momen.How could this not excite Mo Tiannan?
