Chapter 691 We Turks also have copper?
"Don't worry, I won't get angry and threaten to attack your Eastern Turks for this little thing." I waved my hand and smiled disapprovingly, returning all the words of the Eastern Turkic envoy to Kang Shuoli. This guy's face turned pale and black, black and white, and finally he could only squat there and drink a silence.
Well, with the idea of understanding, I seemed much more kind and asked about Kang Shuoli's situation over the past year. Only after the last time I attacked Hancheng due to Wang Shichong's design, the danger of Hancheng was solved. When I inspected the border, I met this guy, and more than a year has passed.
Kang Shuoli is worthy of being a businessman. He talked about many interesting stories about the trade between the two sides. Of course, there were conflicts. However, these conflicts were all under the restraint of both sides, and the big things turned into small things. Because both sides knew very well that now, it was not the time to tear apart, which was why Kang Shuoli, the old acquaintance, came to Chang'an by Je Li Khan.
What does this mean? It means that the confrontation in the previous round has ended. Both sides have tested each other's trump cards. Then, they wiped their faces and restored their respective politician smiles, as close as a family.
"But to be honest, Your Majesty, should you consider opening more types of trade with our Eastern Turks?" Kang Shuoli said, and suddenly said this.
"This one can be found, but some things really don't work." I thought about it and made a decision. "We can sell some iron ingots for you, but you have to exchange them for copper."
"Director Your Majesty, you should know that there is a lack of smelting technology on the prairie. Even if we, the Eastern Turks, have obtained many craftsmen from the hands of the Han people, but we, the Eastern Turks, really don't have such a thing as copper." Kang Shuoli frowned and thought for a while, finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.
I raised my finger and said, "Wrong, you have it, and there are many, but my Chinese copper is very scarce. If your Jie Li Khan is willing, then I am willing to exchange iron for copper with your Eastern Turks one by one."
"Are you sure that?" Kang Shuolli asked unconfidently, afraid that he himself did not understand where there could be copper under the Eastern Turks. As for what I said about changing iron one to one, this was too early. I am afraid that it would be not too late to consider this issue when it really happened.
"Will I still deceive you for this?" I said with a smile. The reason I know is because before I was reincarnated? Well, the county where I was before my soul traveled was a large smelting county. Many smelters with strong pollution discharge endless pollutants into the sky every day.
My direct leader and town secretary were once invited to visit Oyutaureg, Mongolia with county industrial and mining entrepreneurs, to check the famous large mining areas of Outer Mongolia, Suprague and Erdenshi. These three mining areas are the three largest copper ore production areas in Mongolia.
The Erdant copper-molybdenum mine, which was established in the 1970s alone, produces 400,000 tons of copper concentrate annually, ranking among the top ten copper mines in the world. The Oyu Tolegei gold-copper mine, which is only 100 kilometers away from the border of later China, is known as one of the world's large gold-copper mines, and has initially proven that the copper reserves exceed 30 million tons.
The young master remembers it very clearly because I am an angry young man, and I am an outstanding young man who likes ancient history. The reason why I am very clear about the Ayutauri gold and copper mine is due to the fact that what happened to large mining companies such as Rio Tinto and Billiton in China that year, and I know more about this gold mine.
At that time, I was discussing with people online that when Mao divided Outer Mongolia, he had cut hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. In that case, China would not have been so poor that it would have imported various mines everywhere and was restricted by large foreign companies everywhere.
As for Oyu Toddge Gold Copper Mine, I know his location very well. Hehehe, because I specially asked a veteran who was a gatekeeper at the Yeju Factory. The old man was almost seventy and scolded people more capable than a shrew who sold vegetables on the street. He was one of the people who guarded the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia back then.
From what he said, the Oyutaudgai gold and copper mine was walking north from the top of the Hetao, walking up three hundred miles, and then walking westward less than a hundred miles, where was the huge gold and copper mine.
During this period, I took advantage of the opportunity that Han vendors could enter the grassland and sent several prospecting teams to investigate the area. Finally, in five months, I received news that there was indeed a large copper mine in that area. However, they were really unable to achieve how big the copper mine was. I only knew it was very huge.
This is why I am now thinking about using iron to trade. If I use weapons to trade, I will not be able to fight. However, using iron ingots to trade is equivalent to using cold weapons to exchange heat weapons. Why don’t I have such a good thing?
What is important is that in the future, the cannons cast with these brass will be used to deal with alien races like the Eastern Turks. I believe that by then, Jie Li Khan may wish to chop off his fingers. When I think of Jie Li Khan's angry look, I can't help but feel happy from other places.
"...Well, your majesty, what's wrong with you?" Kang Shuolli stood up because of my smile. He looked around nervously, as if he was about to see which place could escape the fastest.
"It's nothing, but will you, Jie Li Khan, agree to my suggestion?" I waved my hand, suppressed the mood that was so clear that it was almost refreshing, and asked Kang Shuoli.
"Your Majesty, are you not kidding? Are you really sure there is copper in the Turkic territory?" Kang Shuoli sat upright, thought for a while, and asked carefully at me.
"This is naturally, I won't tease you in this matter." I nodded.
Kang Shuolli fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said solemnly to me: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important. No matter Kang can make the decision, but Your Majesty rests at ease. Kang rushed to the golden tent and informed Khan."
"Well, go ahead, don't forget, don't let me wait too long."
"Don't worry, your Majesty, it won't be too long." Kang Shuoli replied firmly, and then his figure, which was as round as a bucket, rushed out with unexpected agility. Looking at the guy's back, the corner of my mouth raised an evil arc. I hope that Jie Li Khan would not disappoint me.
"Husband, look at Kang Shuoli's appearance, it's like he picked up some treasure in our house. Even when I saw me, I just said hello and ran away. Husband, what good did you promise that fat old man?" Yao Guang, wearing a brand new and handsome military uniform, appeared at the door of the flower room. The dark and shiny boots made her beautiful legs look even longer.
"Hehe, your husband, I did give the Eastern Turks a great benefit." I put the wine cup on the table, hooked my fingers at the girl, and gave me a cute roll of eyes. However, Yaoguang still walked lightly and came to me and sat next to me on the couch.
"What's the big benefit? Tell me, according to your attitude towards the Turks, I'm afraid I've put a big condom on them. I'm right?" Yao Guang curled his lips, stretched out his hand and gently pinched my face and said angrily.
"I am worthy of being my wife. I know so well the husband's temper and style of doing things." This young master couldn't help but laugh out loud, touching the smooth little hands of the girl Yaoguang and said proudly.
After I told Yaoguang the whole story, the girl Yaoguang could only look at me with a very speechless and helpless expression. "What, do you think you did something wrong for your husband?" I was curious about why Yaoguang had such an expression.
"It's right, but if Jie Li Khan knew that you cheated him like this, would he be mad by you?" The girl Yaoguang shook her head and said with a laughing and crying expression.
"This is a bad statement. The idea of Jie Li Khan's Chinese Empire proves that he is a madman. He will make him crazy again for his husband, just to be positive and make him have a normal mindset." I smiled while holding Yaoguang's shoulders.
Yaoguang shook his head and smiled and leaned in my arms. "Husband, are you really sure that China will no longer build the grassland like the dynasty of the past, but cannot defend the grassland?"
"Don't worry, once I occupy the Chinese Empire, I will never give up. In the past dynasties, they didn't even understand the essence of war, so they failed. Naturally, I will not repeat their old path." I sighed lightly, looked at the colorful flowers and the green leaves in the room, and said leisurely.
Saying a thousand or saying ten thousand is interests. Interests drive people to start wars again and again, but in the end, people will always forget the reason for starting wars. Or deliberately forget them in order to embellish the rationality of wars.
But I don't. I deeply remember the nature of war and understand even more that when the benefits are large enough, even a saint will tear his face a ferocious and greedy face.
"Well, I believe you, husband, you will definitely give our descendants a new future." Yaoguang's eyes also looked into the distance. The trees outside the glass had already revealed mottled yellow, which meant that the strong autumn had arrived.
"It's really good. I said Wuyi. You are painting pretty well now, and you have a good look like Brother Wei back then." I looked at the portrait that Lao Wuyi had just drawn with relief. The portrait was painted in the portrait with an extremely handsome and unparalleled side face of this young master who was very thoughtful.
"But you haven't drawn this expression yet. Now you can only draw the shape, but you still can't achieve both spirit and form." Praise first, and then give a stick. The Wu Wuyi can't be too proud, so that he can't think that painting is an extremely relaxed and simple thing.
