Liu An knew that there was a silver mountain in history.
The production of this silver mountain is amazing.
At a certain period, the silver production on the island of Japan was one-third of the world, reaching an annual output of 200 tons of finished silver. Liu An speculated that this silver mountain should contribute at least 30%, that is, it should have an annual output of 60 tons during its peak period.
In short, it is a million chunks of silver that can be refined in a year.
After the development of Yinshan, the fishing industry, timber, shipbuilding, etc. here were worth at least five million jin.
This does not count the copper, lead, gold and other returns of the accompanying ore.
More importantly, people here need to eat and drink. This industrial chain alone is based on Liu An's idea, and the GDP is still upwards by tens of millions of yuan.
The most important thing.
This mining area is not from the Song Dynasty. If it is poached, it is not worried that it will be left to its descendants.
but.
Liu An took Yinshan just to fool Wei Hao to go to Wudao to work for himself and manage the construction of the three-point land of Zidao. The development of Yinshan was Liu An's plan in at least two years.
Once Yinshan is developed, it will go to war with the lords of the Japanese island, and even the Japanese kings.
Liu An is not ready yet.
But who? Wei Hao, the evil wolf, has already dug a large piece of silver.
This is a piece of natural silver. If you don’t mention the reasons for being outspoken in Hangzhou, the bid for a wealthy merchant will definitely not be less than 50,000 jin. If it is financed into silver, it will not be so valuable.
Speaking of Bianliang City.
After a few more days, it was already the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated.
The bored Liu An gave the emperor another memorial.
The emperor was discussing the New Year in the harem. Liu Chenggui personally delivered this memorial to the emperor. After looking through it, the emperor ordered: "Call him here, call him here."
Liu Chenggui went there quickly.
Queen Guo asked: "Officials, An Ge'er is young and doesn't know how to speak more tactfully, if she is angry with him."
"If he is not angry, he cannot be idle, he will cause trouble when he is idle. You can see it yourself."
The queen took it and saw the contents of the commentary summarized in one sentence: "Emperor, let's not have this meeting or that meeting during the Chinese New Year."
The queen didn't quite understand.
The emperor thought to himself, if you want to save money, you can't save so much. What's the point of not holding a banquet when the New Year is so lively? How much money can you save? What's the difference between you is 50 million yuan, not the cost of hundreds of thousands of yuan during the New Year.
Therefore, the emperor was unhappy.
Even if the emperor and the queen are both frugal people, frugal does not mean that they can't even last for a year.
If you don’t make a big deal, you can’t make a small deal.
Now, I don't do it at all.
This is making trouble.
The emperor was unhappy.
However, the consequences were not serious. I just called Liu An to be scolded.
Soon, Liu An arrived.
The emperor looked stern: "Liu An, if you don't have any reasons, my uncle is going to beat you up." The emperor pointed to the side, and even the bamboo board was ready.
In terms of fooling, Liu An may not be the first person in the Song Dynasty, but in terms of fooling the emperor, even the peak flattery like Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty would be called teachers.
“I have three strategies.”
"The first strategy is to cancel the New Year banquet. My uncle prepares quilts, stove cakes, money, cloth, salt and grain to visit Bianliang. First, visit the nursing home, then Anjifang, and finally visit the imperial guards' home furnishing workshop in Beidaying and Xidaying."
The emperor was very angry. Not to mention that the winter was very cold and it started to snow. He only talked about what he wanted to run to such a place in the New Year.
Liu An continued without looking at the emperor's face: "With the funds from the New Year banquet in the palace, I bought winter clothes and some coal, and I estimated that I could still have some meat. Then I used the cakes for the Kitchen God to be sent to dozens of trucks. This matter is not complicated next. My uncle only needs to walk around."
"I!" The emperor did not call himself uncle, but called himself the emperor. "A reasonable explanation is needed."
In the harem, the emperor usually uses me to the queen.
This is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne that he used this self-proclaimed in the harem.
Liu An seemed stupid, and even Queen Guo hinted him to stop talking. The emperor was angry and wrote it on his face.
Liu An just pretended not to hear it and continued, "This is not over yet. Next, the New Year banquet will be cancelled. My uncle will go to sacrifice to heaven and earth. The sacrifice to Wen Lu Gong is writing. Although it is not for the New Year, it can be used after modification. I think about it. It is good to put it in the New Year. Then all the banquets in the first month of Bianliang City will be cancelled. This year... it is not the New Year."
The emperor was so angry that he laughed: "Come here, let my uncle see if you have a fever."
Liu An walked a few steps forward to the emperor. He had his own plans and wanted to take this opportunity to warm the soldiers' hearts, so that the subsequent things would be easier to handle.
If it goes well, the soldiers' status in the Song Dynasty can be improved a little bit.
The emperor touched Liu An's forehead: "Don't have a fever."
"Uncle, I haven't told you about something. There will be earthquakes in Bianliang City in the first month, which means earthquakes, and the scale is not small. Then until April, there will be earthquakes in the seven provinces of Beijing, Ji, Yi, Li, Ya, Xing, and Ying. To be terrible, I will scold myself for a long time if I don't go to the altar of heaven and earth. I will kneel for a whole day, and all officials will not let my uncle go."
"Earth, earth, earth move?" The emperor was really shocked.
"Uncle, Qu is taking the blame more and more. Duke Bi is already writing the manifesto of this matter. They are discussing the detailed plan, but no one dares to mention the earthquake, because this is what I said, without any evidence."
The emperor stood up and stared at Liu An: "Since there is no evidence, why are you so sure?"
Liu An was very calm: "Uncle, because I saw a snake in the Imperial Garden today."
"Snake!!!?" The emperor was so angry that he reached out to copy the bamboo board.
Queen Guo held the emperor: "Let An Ge'er finish speaking."
"Uncle, who has ever seen a snake in the winter north of the Yellow River?"
"It's really not." Queen Guo continued.
The emperor thought for a while: "What do you mean?"
"My uncle, there will be a big movement in the different directions of heaven and earth. Snakes north of the Yellow River do not come out in winter, and snakes run out in a different direction. Not only that, there will definitely be fish next, fish in the river or lake next. If the dog is barking, and the big mouse flees with the little mouse in his arms, the earthquake is near."
Liu An's words are half nonsense and half make sense.
People cannot hear it when it is below twenty Hz and above twenty thousand Hz, but animals may not.
The snake is hibernating underground. If there is an abnormal snake underground, it must be the first to react. Why is it fish? Liu An remembers that it seems that it was written in the miscellaneous book, but he doesn't know the details.
What is certain is that dogs barking, pigs run around, rats escape, weasels move, etc. are all words that are preached by the elderly.
The emperor still picked up the bamboo board, but Queen Guo struggled to snatch it away.
The emperor said angrily: "Can you consider the order of speaking next time? Let's talk about the earthquake first."
Chapter completed!
