"There is copper in Nanzhao?" Xu Jingzong did not hear what Yun Ye said after that. He only heard Yun Ye say that there is copper in Nanzhao. There are very few copper mines in Datang. There is a little in Longyou, a little in South Jiangxi, and recently in
Iron ore was discovered in Liaodong, along with a few copper mines. Ngee'an and Yongxing counties were the places that produced the most copper ingots in the Tang Dynasty, but they still could not meet the huge empire's demand for copper. The Central Plains has been in need of copper since ancient times.
Copper has a deep feeling, and its color represents nobility. The most noble thing about the tripod used for sacrificial rituals is not gold or jade, but copper. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States and even the Han Dynasty, the metal that represented the word gold was copper.
"Yes, the copper mine in Nanzhao is very large, even exceeding the sum of all the copper mines in our dynasty, and its production area happens to be in the territory of Mengshelong. There is another advantage there, that is, the roads are ready
Yes, the road opened by Zhuge Liang when he crossed the Lu River is still in use today. The ancients said it well, an elephant dies for its teeth, and a man is guilty of carrying a jade. With such a huge copper mine, Meng Shelong will not attack
He must attack the Tang Dynasty, he will not survive because His Majesty wants copper."
After the Yun family's caravan came back from Nanzhao, they said that copper was extremely cheap in Nanzhao recently. They hoped that the family owner would allow the caravan to buy some back. The ritual utensils at home needed to be replaced with larger ones. After the shopkeeper reported the news
, Yun Ye immediately thought that the copper mine there had been known to the court. Li Er wanted to kill Shelong and did not allow surrender. The purpose was to dominate the copper mine. He did not want to share his interests with anyone, nor did he want to share his interests with anyone.
no need.
"In that case, you should invite those big guys over. What are you going to do with these young people? They know nothing."
"Old Xu, please pay attention to your demeanor. You are a scholar. Don't become vulgar when you hear about a few pennies. You don't even think about it, can those old guys show it? When you get to my house, eat and drink for free and then leave.
Man, this is not how a meat bun fights a dog.
Furthermore, I really want to find out who gave His Majesty the idea. You see, after the copper mine is discovered, it will be mined immediately. The imperial court will use the copper ingots stored in the national treasury to start minting a large number of copper coins, and the price of copper will be raised.
When the battle comes, those who exchange copper coins at high prices will suffer big losses, and the only one who will benefit is the court. Therefore, my family exchanged all the copper coins at home for silver. Your Majesty eats meat, let's drink some soup.
There was a shortage of money in the bank, so the Yun family deposited all their own money in the bank. This was called sharing the country's worries. As for whether I saved silver or copper coins, it didn't matter. What mattered was the heart. The Yun family has always been so patriotic.
"
Xu Jingzong wiped a handful of spittle that was sprayed on his face by Yun Ye, held his hands in admiration and said: "Marquis Yun's patriotic heart is astonishing to the sun and the moon, please allow the Xu family to follow him all the way."
Yun Ye chuckled and said, "While His Majesty hasn't given me a gag order, I can still tell you. When His Majesty reacts and gives me a gag order, I won't say a word."
Xu Jingzong thanked him again, pointed to Duan Hong, who was looking around for someone, and said: "The gag order is here.
I went there to bring some food back, but my wife hasn’t had a bite yet. Poor..."
When Duan Hong saw Yun Ye, he immediately came over and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, are you not talking nonsense?" Let's go.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been explaining to my brothers all night that I'm not as good as Long Yang. Isn't this nonsense?" Duan Hong turned around and saw prawns. This was his favorite thing. He found a plate and put a big plate on it.
Then he said to Yun Ye: "Your Majesty said, if you dare to discuss things in Nanzhao carelessly, just wait until you go to Nanzhao to be a mine supervisor. Anyway, you have stayed in Nanzhao for a long time and have adapted to the climate there."
"Your Majesty's words have been brought here. This servant needs to eat something well." After saying that, he took his plate and found a deserted place and started chewing.
Xu Jingzong walked home singing a ditty with his hands behind his back. The old servant was holding a huge food box in his hand. When he arrived at the door, Ma Jiuhu rushed out and called out in a low voice, "Uncle."
"Uncle, my nephew has seen that you and Marquis Yun have been chatting for a long time. If it is about making a fortune, can you give me some support?
"We are all important ministers of the country, so how can we care about mere money? You are just messing around all day long, but you don't know how to serve the country wholeheartedly. It's in vain that you are still a noble son, and you don't have the slightest sense of loyalty.
"
Ma Jiuhu's hot face felt like it was cold buttocks. He held his hands in front of him and hurried back to the banquet. Xu Jingzong snorted sarcastically. Why didn't I see you, my nephew, when I was unlucky? Now I'm here.
The less one person knows about this, the safer it is. Why should I tell you?
The people who can give the emperor this idea cannot be those old ministers, they can only be young people. The old people have not yet learned to use economic leverage as a weapon to deal with those greedy old thieves. The most likely reason is that they come from their own circle of friends and are young.
Even if you are young, you will be reused by the emperor, even if you don’t have some talent, who is this catfish?
Yun Ye liked this question now. Di Renjie put a cup of hot tea into his master's hand and whispered: "I haven't found such a person. The disciple went through the students in the academy who like money banks and circled four people, Shen Gonghai,
Yuan Jia, Zhu Zong, and Yao Si were all outstanding students in the third class of the academy. They used to serve as trainees in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but they disappeared two years ago. These four people are
Friends who share life and death, they once entered Baiqisi's eyes in Yanlai Tower. With your token, the disciple accessed the sealed Baiqisi files and finally found that they appeared in Yaozhou and Rongzhou.
They are all experienced officers, and they are the most suspicious ones."
Yun Ye laughed, very proudly. He planned to ignore this matter from now on and treat himself as an outsider. He would watch the development of the situation with a cold eye. Whether they succeed or fail, it all depends on their methods. Di Renjie
Since it is said that they appeared in Rongzhou and Yaozhou, it is 100% certain that it is these four guys who are making trouble. Their methods are much better than those of people like Ma Zhou. They hide in the dark and come forward.
It is the emperor who silently plots against those rich people who are rich and unkind. Li Er has a very accurate eye for people. He will not sacrifice such a person rashly.
Since it is your own students who are taking action, let me, your husband, evaluate their abilities. Should you create some difficulties for them?
"Renjie, you can use the money in the bank at home. If you feel it's not enough, just borrow the Niu family's money and see if you can earn enough money for yourself. Xiaowu's expenses can't be reduced. What do you want?
To support her, you need to earn a lot of money. This is an opportunity for you brothers to have a game. All the money you earn this time is yours."
"Master, do you want to destroy their plan?" Di Renjie looked at his master in confusion. He also believed that those who are unkind for the sake of wealth need to learn a painful lesson.
"I'm not trying to destroy it, I'm just making it a little more difficult for them. It's best for you to operate in a secretive way. You should be familiar with the bank's tactics, right?"
Di Renjie laughed, bowed to his master, and happily found a plate to find something to eat. Adding Xiao Wu to the table, he couldn't believe that he couldn't play with those four idiots.
The dance on the desert was adapted by Tian Mo Ji and became passionate and unrestrained, less lewd and more rigorous. Accompanied by the fierce tambourine, the Orchids shook their buttocks and bellies in ten thousand ways.
The Tang Dynasty natives were mesmerized by the sight. The charm and mystery of the snake dance made them even more jaw-dropping. A woman's body could be so soft, as if she had no bones.
It was not just the male guests who exclaimed, but the female guests on the other side of the screen were the main ones making the yelling. Xue Wanche's face turned red when he saw it. Snake dance is the best way to tease a man's primitive desires. He has been doing this since he returned to Chang'an.
Being in a state of abstinence, and now being seduced like this, it was a torment for a young man like him.
Fang Yiai also had a dark look on his face, because he heard Gao Yang commenting loudly on the dance on the other side of the screen, and it seemed that Yun Ya was still angry. No matter what moves the dancer made, he always asked Yun Ya if she could do it.
"Oh my, it's so shameless. Yunya, look at it. She's got her ass and head fucked. Can you do it? You practiced this skill in the academy. Why don't you try it too?"
"Gao Yang, shut up and watch the song and dance. Such a beautiful dance can't stop your mouth." It was Xiangcheng who spoke, and Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief. With Sister Xiangcheng here, it is estimated that the two of them will not
Fight again.
Many dignitaries cast angry glances at Yun Ye. What the hell? With such a good thing, why would you bring your wife here? There is no way a man would be better off watching in a circle than pretending to be serious like he is now.
The Yun family has long made it clear that the dancer in the family is only responsible for dancing for fun, and will not entertain other people. Everyone does not understand that Hu Ji is just a plaything. Anyone who is familiar with Yun Ye knows that he cannot take it as his own.
Darling, this is not the right thing to do in such a wasteful way.
With the improvement of the national power of the Tang Dynasty, foreigners did not have much status in the eyes of the Tang people. Hu Ji was equal to a plaything, equal to gold and silver. This concept has been engraved in the bones of the Tang people. Only by treating them as a person can
is weird.
When a man goes out and brings home one or two beautiful orchids, it is like buying two pet cats. If there are fierce wives at home, their bodies will appear in mass graves in a few days, and they will be killed by wild dogs.
Share the food, and when the male host finds that the orchid is gone, he will go to the market to buy one or two more, and then the cycle starts again.
In the Tang Dynasty, the death of one person was a big accident. If Hu Ji died, no one would care about it. In fact, no one would care about the life or death of one or two pets.
