Chapter 333 Li Dewu

"I don't know what is it?" Duan Lun sat down again and asked.

"There are not only iron and copper mines in the Zhashui area, but also silver mines. I hope that Duan Shangshu can send people to find out the location of the silver mines, and it is best to organize a group of people to try to mine them." Yue Shan said.

"So that's it. It's not difficult, just leave it to me." Duan Lun said with a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Yue Shan would propose other political exchange conditions, but he didn't expect that it was just mining silver.For him, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, this is just a matter of one sentence.

Then he couldn't help being curious: "Is Yuehou planning to sell accessories?"

No wonder he asked this question. Although silver is also a precious metal, it was not circulated as currency in the Tang Dynasty. Currency was made of money, which is what we often call copper coins and silk.

Copper coins are used for small transactions, and silk is used for large transactions. In order to avoid being exploited by middlemen, some people even carry grain directly to the street to exchange for shopping items, that is, barter.

At this time, silver was either used to cast jewelry or cast utensils, and basically had no other use.That's why Duan Lun asked Yue Shan if he wanted to start a silver jewelry business when he said he was mining silver mines.

"It's not me, it's the empress." Yue Shan gave him a mysterious smile.

"Your Majesty?" Duan Lun's eyes widened, showing an expression of sudden realization, and he nodded again and again: "Please tell Your Majesty, Marquis Yue, I will send someone to investigate the location of the silver mine to mine silver right away, and I will definitely not delay Your Majesty's important business."

"After the battle with the Turkic people, my mother will open a shop called a bank. At that time..." Yue Shan gave him a look that you understand.

Duan Lun nodded again and again, gratefully said: "Xie Yuehou pointed out, Duan dare not or forget."

"They are all doing things for saints, Duan Shangshu, you are welcome." Yue Shan said lightly.

Duan Lun's gratitude may be true, but it does not represent any problem.When it was time to attack Yue Shan, he would not have any hesitation, and the same was true for Yue Shan.

The two are purely a combination of interests, at least for the time being.

Mining silver was Yue Shan's own idea, he just borrowed Changsun Wugou's tiger skin, otherwise Duan Lun would not have cared about it.Now knowing that the empress wants to use it, I am afraid that Duan Lun dares to put aside the matter of iron and copper.

Which is more important, pleasing the queen or smelting iron and copper, the answer is different for different people.But obviously, it is more important for Duan Lun to please the queen.

As for whether the lie will be exposed... Yue Shan has never considered this issue.Wait a few days to talk to Li Shimin about the issue of currency reform, and all problems have been solved.

After bidding farewell to Duan Lun, Yue Shan went directly to the Marquis's Mansion. In order to avoid the war, his whole family moved into the city to live in the Marquis's Mansion.

The academies, medical colleges, and military academies are also on vacation. It should be said that almost all the families around Chang'an City have been relocated to the surrounding cities.

Xu Shanying had already returned home to deliver the letter one step ahead, so everyone in the Marquis Mansion knew that the backbone of the Yue family had returned.

The return of the backbone is naturally the whole family's celebration, the old and fourth couple of Yue hugged Yue Shan and wept profusely.From childhood to adulthood, this is the first time Yue Shan has left their side, and it has been such a long time.

For the two old couples who only had sons in their hearts, it was like a life-and-death farewell. The little alienation and resentment brought about by Yue Shan's identity had long since dissipated.

They also figured it out, as long as the child is alive and well, what else can they ask for so much.

Yue Shui'er hugged Yue Shan and jumped up and down... As far as EQ is concerned, her growth rate is a bit slow.

When Yue Shan first crossed, she was young but sensible, which made people feel distressed.In the past few years, the living conditions have improved, but they have become heartless. The hard days of the past are probably almost forgotten.

Yue Shan shook his head, it seems necessary to find her a teacher.

He can only protect her life's splendor and wealth, and the life after marriage is more up to her to live.

The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was open, but there were still restrictions on women. There were some etiquettes that Yue Shui'er had to learn in order to survive in the circle.

Even if she wants to be a domineering woman in the future, she must be a polite woman like Fang Xuanling's wife, not a cursing shrew on the street.

Mrs. Fang is a role model, and street shrews will always be shrews.

As for the candidate for the teacher, Yue Shan, Pei Shuying.She is the most suitable person to be Yue Shui'er's teacher among the people Yue Shan knows.

Yue Shui'er didn't know that her elder brother had already arranged her future after a face-to-face meeting.At this time, she was pulling Yue Shan and chatting about funny things.

When Yue Shan returned to Beijing, almost everyone who should know knew about it, and anyone who was convenient would send people over to send greetings and say hello.

He selected a few that were more important, such as Li Jingfushang, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Yuwen Shiji, Gao Shilian, Chen Shuda, Changsun Wuji, etc., and wrote replies one by one.

Well, Yuchi's family didn't send greeting cards.

Yue Shan knew the reason.

Yuchi Baolin has not been transferred back to Beijing yet, Yuchi led troops to guard Jingyang County, and his family lacks women who can take care of things, so it is normal not to be worshiped.

After asking people to send back the greeting stickers and picking out gifts of equivalent value, he began to think about how to write the plan for the northern front.

The draft was only halfway done, when the concierge came to report the visit of Mr. Pei Ju and Mr. Pei, Yue Shan hurried to the gate to greet him.

"Pei Gong, please stay safe."

"Old man, I'm fine. You look darker and stronger. You finally look a bit manly." Pei Ju looked at him up and down and smiled.

"Eh... You always say that, we have a good relationship, and I will throw you out if you change someone else." Yue Shan smiled wryly.

Isn't this just saying that he didn't look like a man before.

"Haha... I won't tell you about another person." Pei Ju laughed triumphantly, then turned sideways and said, "I'll introduce you to someone."

A 40-year-old strong man who had been standing behind Pei Ju stepped forward and said, "Li Dewu pays homage to Qing Shui Hou, and thanks Qing Shui Hou for saving his life."

"I can't do it." Yue Shan stepped aside and stepped forward to help him up.

"Without Qing Shuihou's guidance, I don't know when I can meet Shuying again. If you don't accept this gift, I won't get up." Li Dewu naturally bent over and couldn't get up.

"Brother Zizhao, we are family friends, we should help each other, you are too far-fetched." Yue Shan said.

Zizhao is Li Dewu's name.

"You deserve this ceremony, Cuilan, so don't postpone it. Let him finish the ceremony quickly and let's get down to business." Pei Ju said from the side.

"This... oh, okay, okay, since you have said that, Mr. Pei, I'll just accept it with the audacity." Yue Shan said helplessly.

In this way, Yue Shan received half a big gift from Li Dewu, and the matter was considered over.

Then Yue Shan asked about his situation.

Li Shimin's amnesty to the world, Li Dewu is indeed among the pardoned, but his family has no relatives in the Central Plains, and there are some things in Lingnan, so he has no idea of ​​​​the Central Plains in a short time.

In the end, he met the person Pei Ju sent to look for him, and when he learned that Pei Shuying had been widowed for him for 20 years, he was ashamed and excited, and at the same time very embarrassed.
