Chu Qing marked the location of the iron ore on the map and also named it: Xinghai Mining Area, because this mining area was found because a piece of malachite was discovered in Chu Xinghai.

As for how big the mining area is and whether there is a copper mine, further exploration is needed.

But it is certain that there are iron ore. Those iron ore are not difficult to identify, and there are probably some that the Chu boy can recognize.

As for more professional exploration knowledge, Chu Qing does not have it, so he cannot give any suggestions.

Chu Qing is tight in time, and the traffic is all about your legs, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days.

We must quickly return to the sweet potato base, tell the plan to the Chu family, listen to suggestions and improve it.

After the New Year, Chu Qing will return to Daxuan, and Daxuan still has many Chu family members.

In fact, the Chu family is still safe for the time being, because the court received news that the Chu family was spending money, food and people to rescue the disaster while searching and rescuing Chu Qing, making it impossible for the court to say too ugly things.

Although the so-called "food delivery" is just a cover, the real grain was transported to the island by Chu Yuan, and only the vermicelli transported from the island was taken to support the disaster area.

However, there was no noise at all.

The cause of this noise was that the Chu family sent someone to contact Hu Hengqiu and sent 800,000 taels of silver notes to the emperor, saying that this was the harvest this year.

Five years ago, Chu Qing could pay the emperor a million taels of silver. Five years later, even if Chu Qing didn't double it, it should have at least exceeded one million taels, right? Why is it only 800,000 taels?

Now is the time to use the money, but I just donated 100,000 taels! - This is the emperor's idea.

But Hu Hengqiu told the emperor the original words of the Chu family: "Chu Qing resigned from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue and lost the income from cotton and wool textiles, which is a big deal;

In addition, Chu Qing’s salt field was designated as the salt supply area of ​​the court, and Chu Qing did not gain much profit from the salt field;

Therefore, Chu Qing can only make profits by relying on her warehouse and a few shops in Kyoto, and the rest is the income from soybean oil."

The emperor really wants to say, don’t she still have cement and glass? Those are more profitable!

But it cannot be said that those are not within the tax payment scope agreed by the emperor and Chu Qing, and the cement and glass are not hung under Chu Qing's name, and they are the joint ventures of his workers.

The emperor only gave Chu Qing certain privileges in terms of salt and iron, but no else.

Chu Qing's warehouse mainly deals in grain, daily necessities and iron products, among which iron sales are not mainstream. However, Chu Qing wants to share the overall income of the warehouse to the emperor in proportion, which is already very exploited.

Because the emperor received less money from Chu Qing and would not have more money in the future, he felt more sorry for the 100,000 taels he donated.

It is said that the emperor has collected money from Chu Qing a lot over the years, but there is nothing left in the emperor's private treasury.

For the emperor, the rewards given to the royal family do not account for a large proportion of his private treasury. The real big expenditure lies in the subsidies to the royal family.

Nowadays, the royal family is becoming more and more greedy. If the emperor does not give them real power and official positions, they will ask for money and land.

Everyone is the same ancestor. As the saying goes, if one person becomes the emperor, you will not care about your uncle, uncle, aunt, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, and granddaughter? If you don’t care about your nephew, nieces, nieces, nieces, and granddaughters?

Theoretically, the treasury only cares about the expenses of the royal family in daily life and ceremonial supplies, but it cannot stand the people taking concubines and having children when they are fine.

Every time the royal family gave birth to a child, as long as they had the emperor's surname, the court had to give him a portion of money. Although the emperor had a bunch of wives, they only produced about twenty children, and only half of them were boys.

However, the royal family had much higher "output rate" than the emperor, especially after the war with Donglun Kingdom, Daxuan was very peaceful for several years, the economy also improved a lot, and the royal family was even more "prosperous".

In this way, the treasury is overwhelmed and refuses to pay extra silver. It is almost like your royal family finds some serious things to do, and don’t make people just by being idle.

But for the royal family, creating people is making money, and making money is doing business.

The court officials strongly opposed the increasing year-on-year expenditure on Zonglu, so the emperor had to subsidize from his own private treasury.

Now it’s time to use money again, and it’s still a long-term use of money. How can the emperor not be in a hurry?

The disaster caused by the "Eight Winds" has become so serious that it has become worse now - plagues have become popular in many inland areas in the south.

Disaster relief is just a small amount of money. After the disaster, it also faces large-scale project expenditures such as building dikes and dams, cleaning rivers and canals, and tax exemptions are required to reduce taxes for several consecutive years. This means that the treasury will not be able to make ends meet in the next few years.

In order to guard against the invasion of the State of Vos, another large expenditure on military expenditure was made.

In this way, the emperor inevitably proposed to solve the problem of silver at the court meeting.

With such a large funding gap, the court officials naturally could not make feasibility suggestions, so someone remembered Chu Qing-

"Your Majesty, the salt field is completely submerged and the losses are huge. The guardians shall not resign their responsibility!"

"That's right! If it weren't for negligence and laziness, how could the salt field be gone in an instant!"

"If you are loyal to your duties and take good care of the salt field, perhaps not only will the salt field not suffer losses, but you can also prevent problems before they happen!"

"I agree! I believe that the person responsible for the salt farm must bear all losses 1"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

The comments were heard endlessly. Hong Liang endured it again and again, but couldn't help it and shouted: "Bafeng, can you prevent problems before it happens? You must have this ability, I think Bafeng was the one you brought to you!"

Chu Qing is still missing and has a life or death unknown. Even if he is not worried, he should be a person, so he will not frame the situation like this, right?

Although he was trying to stand up for Chu Qing, Hong Liang's words led to new tricks—

"The words of Mr. Hong made no sense! We don't have this ability, but others don't have it..."

"Yes, although I haven't heard of anyone who can attract Bafeng, I heard of someone who can make Bafeng turn!"

"Yes, I heard that, too, why did the evil wind not enter Linyang County... that's what I said?"

"No, the original saying is 'Someone is conquering Linyang County, and the demonic wind cannot be blown'!"

The strong and bright air is ripped off.

He has never heard of this news, but it is still not as good as the information channels of these guys!

"Is there still no whereabouts of Linyanghou?" the emperor asked.

Hu Hengqiu immediately appeared from behind the pillar: "Not yet."

"Didn't you run away when you see the situation is not good?" said a court official. "It seems that his son has not moved."

Hong Liang immediately retorted: "The eight winds are blowing into your mind? Linyang Hou's huge family business is worth running away?"

Court officials: "Then I said, why didn't she show up after these days?"

Hong Liang: "Didn't it be said that she was eager to rescue disasters and went out to sea by boat and was swept away by the wind and waves?"

Court officials: "Why are you lying? Who said this? Is there anyone who proves it?"

Hong Liang immediately looked at Hu Hengqiu. Before Hu Hengqiu could speak, the courtier spoke again: "Even the Secret Investigation Department, it was nothing more than the news from the people in the Linyang Marquis' Mansion?

In addition to their family, there are other personal and physical evidence?"
