Wu Yuanqing reported many things, all of which were related to the Japanese.
At the end, a sentence suddenly came: "Your Highness, Princess Mingyue sealed three mountains by the order of King Qin without giving any reason to the local prefectures and counties. She also called on the experts from the Security Department of the Tang Empire and mobilized 3,000 elite people to
There are a thousand people on each mountain, and the mountain is sealed so that no one can come near it!"
After saying that, Wu Yuanqing held up a simple map with both hands. Then there was a box: "The Emperor Xian sealed it with his own hands. The general will not know what is inside."
Looking at the map, Li Yuanxing completely understood what these three mountains were.
"I understand, Mingyue didn't send a telegram just because she didn't want unnecessary people to know. You can go to Qinling Mountains and take charge of it for a while as the on-site supervisor of the Changyi Railway." Li Yuanxing ordered in a calm tone.
Wu Yuanqing thanked him and sat down.
Li Yuanxing then asked: "Mr. Wu, what do you think about the fiefdom?"
Li Yuanxing didn't believe that Warrior Xun came here without thinking. When he asked, Warrior Xun said: "Your Highness, my Wu family wants to live in peace and prosperity."
"Bring the envelope!"
Warrior Xun took out the gold-rimmed scroll with both hands. The envelope was blank, but it had a standard format. Only the most critical part was blank. Li Yuanxing checked his computer and wrote the location.
A string of numbers that ordinary people cannot understand.
This is the global coordinate in Chang'an as the standard.
For the fiefdom given to the Wu family, Li Yuanxing chose Santiago in South America.
"The first year is tax-free, and then every year there are 300,000 tons of refined copper." When Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, Wu Yuanqing almost jumped up.
You must know that the copper mines in the entire Tang Dynasty cannot dig out so much copper in a year, and what Li Yuanxing wants is refined copper, not ore. Can the Wu family come up with such a large amount of copper?
Warrior Xun did not move. He knew that if Li Yuanxing dared to speak, he would never talk nonsense.
"There is as much copper as there is in the world, and that one piece is one-third of the world. And your Wu family's fiefdom is not even one-ninth, but it must be within one-twentieth. Your family may not have as much copper in the entire Tang Dynasty.
There are many fiefdoms, 300,000 tons, which may not increase in the future. The rest will follow the rules of the mountain!"
What Li Yuanxing said about opening mountains meant mining.
The mining area requires investment in advance, and the mine may not be opened that year. Moreover, the output of the initial mining area will not increase.
The rules for opening a mountain are to send professional personnel from the Tang Dynasty there, and after surveying, list the reductions and increases for the first three years. Three hundred thousand tons, according to later modern calculations, is the standard of two hundred thousand tons.
You know, Chile’s annual copper production is more than five million tons.
When Li Yuanxing gave it to the Wu family for four years, it was not too much to meet the standard of turning over 200,000 tons. You must know that all the remaining parts can be converted into money. Copper is the real hard currency of the Tang Dynasty.
"Thank you, His Highness the King of Qin, but can I give you one or two more small titles?"
"Okay, go ahead and choose."
Xiaofeng refers to the small nobles who belong to the dukedom. The samurai Yu knew that the Wu family alone would not be able to develop there.
Wu Yuanqing boldly asked at this moment: "Your Highness, do you know how much copper there is in the mining area?"
"That large area has a total of 300 million tons. The copper in the world is about 850 million tons." Li Yuanxing said it in Tang tons. Later generations said that 550 million tons, Chile has 200 million tons.
ton.
The number Li Yuanxing mentioned is that Datang has the ability to mine it. The undersea copper mine will not be mined by Datang within fifty years.
There are 850 million tons of copper in the world.
It was originally rumored that His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty knew everything in the world and underground, and now he even knew how much copper there was. Warrior Xun did not doubt it, but he was a little nervous about such a thing. He immediately said: "Your Highness, copper is under the control of the official family
, someone plans to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
"Okay, by the way, bring a letter for me."
Li Yuanxing wrote a letter immediately. This letter had nothing to do with the copper. He just told Li Er that if he was free, he would bring Yu Shinan and several other master-level writers to Qin Wangzhuang. If Li Er was busy, Li Yuanxing would go to Chang'an and stay in the palace.
, but the palace is not as quiet as Qin Wangzhuang.
Quietness does not mean true tranquility, but that there are few idle people.
That night, Li Yuanxing did not wait for a reply from Chang'an. After taking a shower, he went to the study to practice calligraphy and get ready for bed. There were many aristocratic families waiting for Li Yuanxing to sell them development plans these days. Each family's situation was special.
The time given by Li Yuanxing was to wait a month before picking it up.
Therefore, Li Yuanxing still plans to take another look at world geography, global politics and other literature.
But just as he reached the door of the study, Pei Xi trotted over: "Your Highness, His Majesty is here in Mr. Yu's carriage."
"Ah!" Li Yuanxing was a little surprised. But he turned around immediately and ran towards the entrance of the village.
The carriage entered Zhuangzi directly. After closing the door of the village and there was no more people around, Li Er got off the carriage. When he saw Li Yuanxing, he smiled: "Wu Lang has hidden some treasure this time, and he is so careful."
"Brother Huang was joking. It's not that he was afraid of being stolen. It's just that he is currently developing overseas and doesn't want to interrupt the enthusiasm of the sea for this kind of thing." Li Yuanxing told the truth.
After entering the study, Li Ercai asked: "What is it? It can make people not be tempted by overseas wealth."
There were only six people in the study room. In addition to Li Er and Li Yuanxing, they were Yu Shinan, his disciple Zhu Suiliang, and the younger brother of the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Xiaohua Sheng Yan Liben! The last one was not familiar to Li Yuanxing, but he was also a scholar.
A truly famous scholar was Ouyang Xun. His "Thousand-Character Essay in Running Script" was not only famous in the Tang Dynasty, but also became famous in the following hundreds of years.
Li Yuanxing first took out a map: "Grandpa asked Mingyue to borrow my Qin Wang Ling to circle three mountains."
"It's just three mountains." Li Er didn't care at all.
As the wise emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is it a thing to ask for three mountains? So Li Er didn't care.
Li Yuanxing opened the box and took out a stone: "This thing is not too precious. But it is one of the three major seal stones, called chicken blood stone. Grandpa originally liked seals and had carved seals himself. But he was different from Mr. Yu in the carving process.
, Mr. Ouyang is naturally very different. When used on seal stones, this bloodstone is no worse than jade."
The first use of chicken blood stone was in the Song Dynasty. No one had used it in the Tang Dynasty, or it had not really entered the upper class society.
The four of us, even the two younger ones, know very well what a good stone is.
Immediately, he took a piece of stone and tried the knife, and Yu Shinan was unwilling to let go.
"Grandpa is very thorough in his work. Now that he has found the chicken blood stone, he will never let go of the second best seal stone, Shoushan Furong Stone. Mr. Yu and Mr. Ouyang will naturally know how good this thing is once they try the knife.
.Grandpa sealed this mountain, this thing will make the literati go crazy."
Good or not, Li Yuanxing doesn't need to say more, let alone Yu Shinan, even Li Er can feel the extraordinary quality of this stone after holding it in his hand and trying it twice.
Not only is the color good, but it also feels better.
A stone with a hardness of only three, a soft stone. It is very suitable for carving seals. The hard stone will not affect the shape of the knife, and it will double the power of calligraphy.
"The last one was transformed from a phoenix egg when Nuwa was patching up the sky in the ancient legend. Therefore, this stone is 'pristine without roots and has no veins to find'. It is the king of seal stones. In my grandfather's eyes, it is also the best jade.
It’s just ten times the price of gold. But the best Tianhuang stone dares to cost a hundred times the price of gold. Of course, this is really popular, otherwise it is just a stone in the countryside. No matter passers-by step on it, they may not think it is gold.”
"Your Highness is wrong!" Yan Liben actually retorted.
Li Yuanxing was very interested, and even Li Er supported Yan Liben to continue talking.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, a piece of gold is in the field. Passers-by don't know it and just think it is a stone. But what is precious and what is precious? Jadeite like jadeite was first seen in the Tang Dynasty. Who can recognize jade?
It is said that this thing is an ordinary thing. Tianhuang appeared in the world, and the three gentlemen only scratched it lightly with a carving knife, and the seal passed down from generation to generation appeared. Why not it is a treasure?"
After all, Yan Liben was still young, so naturally he did not dare to compare himself with these three.
Li Er laughed loudly: "You're right, Yan Qing's painting is also an extraordinary work. When Emperor Xian returns to Chang'an, I will give you a piece of Tianhuang so that your paintings can be passed down to the world!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But Li Yuanxing said very abruptly: "Brother Huang, it's easier to wait this time."
"No?" Li Er didn't understand why Li Yuanxing said he had to wait for a long time.
"There are no veins to be found in Tianhuang stone, just like finding century-old ginseng in the deep mountains. It requires a certain amount of luck. From what I know about my grandfather, he went to the place of origin in person. If he didn't get back a few pieces of Tianhuang jelly from the King of Stones,
If there is a stone, he will definitely not come back. With any luck, he will waste a few months there. And he will not necessarily use sergeants to find it. He will definitely search for it slowly by himself. For him, the process of finding the stone is
It’s also a kind of fun.”
Li Yuanxing originally wanted to say that the stone matter could be left alone and there was no need to rush.
But when Li Er listened, he had another thought in his mind.
"How about Wu Lang supervising the country?" Li Er said suddenly.
"No, absolutely not." Li Yuanxing refused without even thinking: "Brother, it would be better for you to find a son to supervise the country. I can assist you, but I will definitely not supervise the country." Li Yuanxing said this to avoid suspicion and wanted to
Knowing that he is now so powerful, any word or action will affect the national policy of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Erzheng was about to persuade him again.
Li Yuanxing did not give Li Er a chance to speak: "Brother Huang, have you tried Datang Royal No. 1?"
"What's the use of this!" Li Er didn't understand why Li Yuanxing mentioned this.
"Brother Imperial, you have already built the flying boat, and it is almost unused. There are bedrooms and a study on the flying boat. There are also rooms for thirty officials and two hundred followers. There is a telegraph machine, Brother Imperial.
You can bring the main officials with you, and you can still handle government affairs in the sky. You can give orders very grandly, and Tianying Pavilion will supervise the country!"
