"It seems to be called Mr. Honglian. According to our investigation, Mr. Honglian became famous five hundred years ago. He came from a mysterious force. At that time, Sanqingshan sent people to suppress the chaos in Kyushu, and this Mr. Honglian and
The disciples of Sanqingshan who were powerful in Kyushu had a great battle. After that, although Mr. Honglian was defeated, it was only a narrow defeat. The disciples of Sanqingshan were also injured. However, I thought Sanqingshan would be angry afterwards, but the matter was ignored. There were rumors in the world,
There is a force behind Mr. Honglian that can compete with Sanqingshan, so that is why he is like this."
Xiaoqi's words made Fang Hao frown: "Is this the mysterious force behind Shenming Sect?"
When talking about this, Xiao Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
"Say." Fang Hao said seriously.
"A few days ago, people from Jiuzhou Tonghao and Sitong Pavilion came to pay their respects to His Majesty. However, since His Majesty was not around, they did not come. However, they said they would wait for His Majesty's return in the city before paying their respects again."
This news surprised Fang Hao: "Why did they see me?"
Immediately, Fang Hao's eyes flashed and he showed a bright smile: "Tell them to come to see me, uh... come one by one!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in rich clothes stood in front of Fang Hao with great dignity, slightly bowed his hands and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor, Ouyang Yuan, the general manager of Jiuzhou Tong Qingzhou."
"Excuse me, I heard that you want to see me, why?" Fang Hao said calmly.
Ouyang Yuan said with a warm smile: "Our Jiuzhou Express has been doing business in Daqin. Originally, Qingzhou and Youzhou each had a general shopkeeper. After His Majesty unified the two states, I was fortunate enough to trust you, so I temporarily took over as the general shopkeeper of the two states.
Of course, this visit is to express greetings to His Majesty the Emperor on behalf of Jiuzhou Express."
As he spoke, Ouyang Yuan spread his hands, and a treasure bag appeared directly. He offered it with both hands: "These are some of His Majesty's wishes."
When Fu Fu saw it, he immediately stepped forward and took the treasure bag to Fang Hao.
Fang Hao took a look at the contents inside, and his eyes suddenly lit up. At a glance, he saw that it was actually a bag of countless purple gold.
Ouyang Yuan smiled enthusiastically and said: "Your Majesty, this is ten million taels of purple gold, which is considered a meeting gift for Your Majesty."
Even Fang Hao can be regarded as a person who has seen a lot of things in the world, but at this moment, his heart is pounding.
Ten million taels of purple gold is equivalent to one hundred million taels of gold, which is a huge amount for the Qin treasury.
He secretly swallowed, but calmly placed the treasure bag in front of the desk, and said calmly: "Since you Jiuzhou Express have such a heart, I can't help but brush off your kindness."
Ouyang Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened and he smiled broadly: "This is what our Jiuzhou Express should do."
Fang Hao sneered in his heart, this guy was so attentive for nothing, so naturally it was not as simple as just giving gifts.
But Ouyang Yuan didn't say anything. He really didn't want to ask. Of course, Fang Hao, a beast like him, had no embarrassment at all about not being rewarded for his merits.
Seeing that Fang Hao was silent, Ouyang Yuan seemed to be unable to wait any longer and said proactively: "Your Majesty, I, Jiuzhou Express, have come in to develop some mineral deposits in Daqin. However, the court procedures are cumbersome, so I came here to pay homage to Your Majesty and hope for Your Majesty's approval."
Fang Hao raised his eyelids and his eyes flashed: "Oh? What kind of mineral deposit?"
"Our Jiuzhou Express is ready to explore Daqin's mineral resources, which of course include iron ore, gold mine, silver mine, copper mine, etc."
Hearing this, Fang Hao laughed and said: "Could it be that your ship has already explored where there are large mineral deposits?"
Saying this, Fang Hao's mind became active. He had always ignored this problem. Daqin is vast and has a vast land, and naturally there are various mineral deposits in it.
It's just that he hasn't paid attention to it, but the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministries, is in charge.
But no matter what, these mineral resources should belong to the Qin court. How can Fang Hao get a share of the pie for guys like Ouyang Yuan.
After hearing this, Ouyang Yuan was still smiling: "Your Majesty, we haven't received your Majesty's approval yet, how dare we investigate without authorization."
Fang Hao took a look and realized that this guy didn't mean what he said. He must have known about the huge mineral deposits somewhere, so he came to give him a generous gift.
"If not, then you better not waste your efforts and money. This mine is so deep that even martial arts masters have difficulty exploring it. So, come back to me when you have discovered any large mines."
After saying that, Fang Hao closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the chair, and seemed to be squinting for a while.
When Fu Fu saw this, he immediately said: "Back off."
The smile on Ouyang Yuan's face disappeared, and he looked at Fang Hao, who had his eyes slightly closed, in shock and confusion.
When he heard Fu Fu's words, Ouyang Yuan looked a little sad. One hundred million taels of gold didn't even make Fang Hao nod. The key was that Fang Hao looked at it with peace of mind.
Ouyang Yuan had no choice but to retreat.
After a while, Fang Hao opened his eyes and said to Fu Fu: "Let Yu Chou come in."
Fu Fu shouted to the outside: "Xuan Yu and his wife are here to see you."
Soon, a fat man in a robe walked in. He knelt down to worship as soon as he came in. Fang Hao waved his hand. Naturally, Yu Chou could not kneel down, but she immediately clasped her fists and bent down to salute respectfully: "Shopkeeper of Tianzihao, Caomin Sitong Pavilion.
Yu Chou pays homage to His Majesty."
"Excuse me, Yu Chou, what are you doing here?" Fang Hao leaned on the chair with a calm expression, looking a little lazy.
"Your Majesty, the common people would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me, Sitong Pavilion, to open a mineral resources development workshop in Daqin."
After hearing this, Fang Hao frowned slightly. The two largest companies in Kyushu came to seek mineral resource development. This had to make Fang Hao wonder, had these guys found a huge gold mine somewhere?
Otherwise, these two people wouldn't be so eager to come to see him.
Fang Hao just said one word in confusion: "Oh?"
But he neither agreed nor denied.
In fact, Fang Hao was thinking that Ouyang Yuan in front of him gave him 100 million to bribe him. Didn't this guy know that he wanted to give him a gift?
Yu Chou bowed to Fang Hao again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our Sitong Pavilion hopes to cooperate with the imperial court. The mineral resources developed by then will be divided according to a certain proportion, and our Sitong Pavilion will bear the initial investment.
"
"Divide? How?" Fang Hao looked at Yu Chou with an indifferent expression.
"Your Majesty, how about our Sitong Pavilion and the imperial court's three and seven? We are three and the imperial court is seven."
After hearing Yu Chou's words, Fang Hao's expression suddenly became strange, and he really started to measure this guy's conditions.
The court can get 70% without doing anything. This is actually a very cost-effective deal.
But Fang Hao didn't even want to give the 30% to these merchants. Everything on the land of Daqin belonged to him, or in other words, it all belonged to his Daqin! (To be continued)
