Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s almost summer.⊥,

Liu Che was lying on the bed in Yinu's palace, holding a copy of Xiuyiwei's report and looking through the recent events in Chang'an, Guanzhong and the world as reported by Xiuyiwei.

The little boy, who was just one and a half years old, held up the peach and made noise in his arms.

After a while, she felt that the imperial seal on the emperor's waist seemed very funny, so she stretched out her little hand and tried to pull it off.

As a result, it couldn't be moved no matter how hard it was pulled.

Perhaps because she felt bored, or perhaps she had discovered a more interesting new world, Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the Han family, muttered twice, climbed onto her father's chest, and reached out to grab her father's beard.

Then, she was suppressed.

"Don't make trouble, Taotao..." Liu Che grabbed this naughty little cutie's little hand, held her in his arms, pointed at Liu Bingji, who was crawling all over the palace, and said: "Go play with your emperor brother...

"

Liu Che is now the father of several children.

But what he loves most is always his eldest daughter.

I don’t know if it’s due to genes, but the Liu family has always had the tradition that the eldest daughter is the most valuable.

Liu Bang had the eldest princess Lu Yuan, and Taizong had the eldest princess Guantao. In Liu Che's generation, because Liu Che himself had no biological sister, there was no such thing as an eldest princess.

But after Liu Che himself had a child, he inevitably doted on his eldest daughter.

Taotao was only one and a half years old, and Liu Che had already issued an edict to make her Princess Wanyi.

In terms of specifications, it is only slightly worse than the original Princess Lu Yuan, Empress Lu's treasured heart. It only has 3,500 households in Tang Mu's settlement.

Not to mention that Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County. It is also the future base of Han Dynasty heavy industry.

Just from the tax commission, I am afraid that in the future it will be a place where the annual income is tens of millions.

Liu Che now has two sons and three daughters.

Yi Nu gave birth to twins Liu Taotao and Liu Bingji.

Xia Rouge of the Xiongnu gave birth to the second son of the emperor last year. In addition, Cheng Zhengying's daughter Cheng Zhengxuan also gave birth to a daughter not long ago. The beauty Zhao who was once in the prince's palace also gave birth to a princess.

Originally, other concubines also gave birth to princes and princesses.

But unfortunately, due to the poor medical standards and maternal and infant assistance standards in this era, even the royal family cannot guarantee 100% that the mother and child will be safe.

One corpse and two lives are common.

Even if he is born, it is unknown whether he will live to be five years old.

I think back then, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in Daiguo, Liu Che's father and Liu Wu were not the only sons.

But the other sons, especially the three eldest sons before Liu Che's father, did not see the day when their father would sit on the throne and rule the world.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Emperor Liu likes ******** mature women, regardless of raw or mature women.

The reason is very simple, it is safer when giving birth.

Among these five children, Liu Che's eldest daughter Taotao was always the most beloved and treasured one.

Not only because Taotao is the eldest daughter, but also because this little Gongju is so cute.

Among the remaining four, Liu Che followed the educational philosophy that girls should be raised rich and sons should be raised poor.

Princesses will not be able to really hold power in the future, so they can be pampered as much as they can. In this way, at least when they get married in the future, their husbands will not dare to bully them, let alone raise a mistress.

As for my son...

In theory, everyone has the qualifications to become a prince.

Therefore, the educational plans Liu Che formulated for them were all aimed at cultivating the country's ruling class and protagonists.

But now, these plans are all just words on paper.

Because even the eldest son of the emperor is only one and a half years old...

However, when Liu Bing reached four years old, Liu Che had already planned to put him in Shanglinyuan to attend classes, study, activities, and play with the orphans in Linyuan. At the age of sixteen, he would change his surname and join the Northern Army.

Or serve in the Southern Army, and at the age of twenty, he will be sent to a certain county in Guanzhong to serve as a concubine or a traveling payer.

Other scholars also arranged this.

At the very least, the future prince will not be too useless.

Holding Taotao in his arms and placing her on the ground, the little Gongju soon discovered his younger brother, Liu Bingji, who was crawling all over the ground.

"Brother, dear brother..." the young master yelled, his little feet spread out, and he ran towards Liu Bing.

This made Liu Che feel a little sad. Even though it was his most precious and beloved Princess Taotao, he had only been with her for more than ten days in the past six months.

To Taotao, his father might be just a somewhat familiar stranger.

However, this is the price that one must pay as an emperor.

Just squatting like this, watching the two brothers and sisters play, Liu Che enjoyed the rare joy of family love.

However, this time is destined to not last long.

About half an hour later, Wang Dao, who had been waiting at the entrance of the palace, walked in, walked to Liu Che, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty... Xinhua Eight Hundred Miles has urgently reported..."

Liu Che casually took the sealed memorial handed over by Wang Dao, opened the seal, and took it apart. After just one glance, Liu Che stood up and waved, and immediately the maid and wet nurse came in, holding the prince and princess in their arms.

Go play outside the temple.

"Immediately send word to Marquis Fenyin to enter the palace, and also order Zhijinwu to enter the palace..." Liu Che immediately issued the order: "Let them wait in the side hall of Xuanshi Hall..."

"No!" Wang Dao accepted the order and left.

Liu Che walked into the inner hall and said to Yi Nu, who was busy picking vegetables with his maids and eunuchs: "My beloved concubine, I have government affairs to deal with, so I won't have dinner with my beloved concubine. In the evening, I will come to accompany you again."

Concubine!"

Yi Nu was a little disappointed when she heard this. She had been preparing for today for a long time.

However, she has the traditional virtues of Chinese women. When she heard this, she was only slightly respectful and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about state affairs. Although I am a woman, I understand that military affairs are more important than anything else. Your Majesty, please go down. I am here."

Waiting in the palace..."

"Thank you for your hard work, concubine..." Liu Che nodded. The good thing about Yi Nuo is that he never gets obsessed with her. Whenever Liu Che has something to do, she will never act cute or coquettish like other concubines.

For a man like Liu Che, such a woman is truly worthy of pampering.

He left Yinu's palace with his hands behind his hands. After getting on the carriage, Liu Che went straight to Xuanshi Hall.

Along the way, Liu Che took the memorial jointly sent by Bo Shi, the governor of Huaihua County and the captain of the Yi army, and brothers Chen Xu and Chen Xi, and carefully read it countless times.

"A river full of gold sand..." Liu Che held his cheek and fell into thought.

Liu Che's memory started to tumble.

He remembered, it seemed, before he traveled through time, he had watched a TV series called "Crossing the Guandong", which reflected the people who rushed to the Guandong to pan for gold and compete for gold in the late Qing Dynasty.

In fact, gold mineral reserves in the Northeast and Far East are very rich.

Liu Che once had a classmate from the Northeast. He once heard him brag about the Laogou Gold Mine in his hometown. It was said that when the gold mine was first discovered, half of the river sand fished out was gold.

foam.

Even in modern times, gold can still be found after the local sand has been panned dozens of times.

Later, Liu Che checked online and found that it was indeed the case. In the history of Laogou Gold Mine, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold were stolen by tens of thousands of gold diggers from home and abroad in just two years, 1883 and 1884.

Among other rivers in the Northeast, there are also many river sections where gold can be mined.

Especially in this day and age.

Humans have never conducted mining activities in this area. The local mineral resources have almost completely maintained their original ecology.

The various mines that have been formed since the beginning of the earth's formation, as well as the resources erupted from the ground through billions of years of geological changes and various plate activities, have also been completely preserved.

As for the Far East of Russia in later generations?

Liu Che raised his head and murmured: "This is a region that occupies the Soviet Union and accounts for more than 80% of Russia's gold output..."

"And it's also a production area mainly dominated by placer gold mines..."

Placer gold deposits and primary gold deposits are the two main deposits of gold reserves on the earth.

Placer gold is more popular than primary gold deposits.

The reason is that placer gold mines are open-pit, all-weather gold deposits.

In later generations, gold mining boats were densely packed in large and small rivers, specifically for placer gold.

As far as Liu Che knew, the Northeast and Far East, including the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains and the Liaohe River Basin, Heilongjiang, Tumen River, Atair River, and Yalu River, are all placer gold deposit areas.

The discovered gold sand river reported by Bo Shi this time, Liu Che deduced based on the content and description of his report, should be the Laogou Gold Mine, the hometown of the Northeastern classmate who once boasted to Liu Che.

The Laogou Gold Mine is located at the northernmost point of Later World, which is within Mohe County.

This was calculated by Liu Che based on the departure time and journey time of the Han cavalry reported by Bo Shi, and the location of Xinhua City.

If that were the case, it would be a bit funny.

I don’t know how that classmate will brag two thousand years later.
To be continued...
