Yang Chaodong smiled faintly and said: "I will run the army with integrity, and I will do what I say in front of ordinary soldiers, let alone Master Su Tian?"
If you keep your word, you are evil, Su Hao sneered in his heart. Previously, Yang Chaodong had promised Su Hao through Wang Qifeng that as long as Su Hao presented a large coal mine, he would unconditionally release He Benzheng and others. Now that the coal mine has been found,
Something new happened to Yang Chaodong. However, Su Hao was not surprised by this. In contrast, he knew more about Yang Chaodong's details, and Yang Chaodong had been completely blinded by him and really regarded him as an explorer.
The teacher is here.
"General Yang Shen is naturally a man of his word. The student made a mistake." Su Hao said pretending to be embarrassed.
"Since Su Tianshi believes in me, can you tell me what else you can see from this immortal talisman?" Yang Chaodong asked.
Su Hao whispered: "General Yang, the student was sent by Eunuch Hu to look for gold in Bozhou. However, after looking at the geological conditions of Bozhou, the student determined that there is no gold mine in Bozhou."
"Oh..." Yang Chaodong responded with disappointment. He originally thought that Su Hao was so mysterious because he had the secret of a big gold mine, so he tried desperately to win over Su Hao. If there is no gold mine in Banzhou,
Yes, then all his efforts will be in vain.
"But..." Su Hao changed the topic and said with a smile on his face: "The student would like to ask General Yang whether he knows cinnabar?"
"Cinnabar!" Yang Chaodong was stunned, "You mean, there is also cinnabar in Banzhou?"
The so-called cinnabar is the natural mineral of mercury sulfide, which is the raw material used to extract mercury. Although the value of mercury cannot be compared with gold, it is still considered a precious mineral. In the market, a pound of mercury can be sold for nearly 1
Two silver coins, while a pound of copper can only be sold for 1 silver coin. Comparing the two, you can know the high value of mercury.
Although Yang Chaodong is a playboy, he is not a loser. He has been nurtured by his father Yang Yinglong to be ambitious since he was a child, so he has worked hard in all aspects of studying literature and martial arts. Over the past ten years, he can be regarded as an all-rounder in both literature and martial arts. For Cinsha
He knew the value, and because of this, when he heard that there was a cinnabar mine in Banshu, his eyes brightened.
Su Hao showed a confident smile and said: "I, the Yuhua Mountain Taoist Sect, still have this kind of Taoism. I dare to say that there is cinnabar in Bozhou, so I can find it naturally. Don't General Yang Shen still believe it?"
If Su Hao had said these words a day ago, Yang Chaodong would have just regarded him as a charlatan, and it would have been better if he was not beaten dozens of times. But after witnessing Su Hao finding a large coal mine out of thin air, Yang Chaodong had no idea about Su Hao.
The view is completely different.
"Su Tianshi, as far as Yang knows, cinnabar has always been produced in Sizhou and Tongren Prefecture, especially Dawanshan Division of Tongren Prefecture. Could it be that Su Tianshi got it wrong?" Yang Chaodong asked tentatively.
Said, in fact, his heart was already pounding, expecting Su Hao to give him an answer that would surprise him.
Guizhou is the region with the richest mercury mineral resources in the country. The province's mercury mineral reserves account for more than 40% of the country's total. Guizhou's mercury minerals are mainly found in northeastern Guizhou. This area was divided into Sinan, Shiqian,
Sizhou, Tongren and several other prefectures.
Mercury mining in Guizhou has a long history, and the earliest records can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the Wanshan Mercury Mine in Tongren Prefecture was already very famous, and the so-called "Bright Cinnabar" it produced has always been a royal tribute. By the Ming Dynasty, Si
Mercury mines such as Wanshan, Tongren, Danzhai and Sandu in Tongren Prefecture have been exploited on a large scale, providing a large amount of income to the local area and making the Yang family in Banzhou, 500 miles away, salivate.
As a later geologist, Su Hao knew the distribution of mercury resources in this area very well. He knew that at the junction of Bozhou and Sinan Prefecture, there was a place called Wuchuan at that time, where a person from later generations was buried.
The reserves of the very large mercury mine that had just been discovered even exceeded that of the most famous Wanshan mercury mine at the time. He believed that as long as he revealed this situation to Yang Chaodong, he was not afraid that he would not be tempted.
"What does the cinnabar mine in Wanshan mean? If a student takes action, he will find at least twice as much ore as the Wanshan mine." Su Hao said in an arrogant tone.
"Really? Can Su Tianshi teach me where this mine is located?" Yang Chaodong asked eagerly. Seeing that Su Hao remained silent, he quickly added: "Yang promised that the mining income will be 30% to 70% with Su Tianshi, absolutely.
Never break your promise. If you violate it, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Yang Chaodong also knew that he had poor credit and could not persuade Su Hao. In desperation, he had to swear. The ancients took swearing very seriously and did not dare to break their oaths easily. In Yang Chaodong's heart, he felt that if Su Hao really
If we can find him a large-scale cinnabar mine that is twice the size of Tongren Wanshan Mine, even if he gives 30% of the profit to Su Hao, what will it mean?
Su Hao shook his head and said: "General Yang Shen has misunderstood. The student does not dare to doubt the credibility of General Yang, but the student is not sure where the cinnabar mine is located at the moment. The student's judgment comes from the celestial phenomenon, and the aura of cinnabar is reflected in Banzhou
Hoshino. But where the talent is in Banzhou, we still have to rely on earth energy to know. The student sent a hundred apprentices to survey the country in Bozhou, also to determine the location of this cinnabar mine, but there is no choice..."
Speaking of this, Su Hao drawled a long tone, leaving the rest of the words to Yang Chaodong to figure out.
How could Yang Chaodong fail to understand what Su Hao meant, which clearly meant that if he wanted to find this cinnabar mine, he must allow his people to continue surveying in Bozhou without interfering. Otherwise, the cinnabar mine would not be found.
.
"This matter is of great importance. Master Su Tian allows Yang to think about it." Yang Chaodong said with a frown.
"Haha, what the student just said, General Yang Shen can just regard it as the student's nonsense. There is no need to worry about it. The student has determined that there is no gold in Bozhou. When Mr. Wang brings the student's apprentice, the student will leave Bozhou immediately and will never dare to return.
Adding trouble to General Yang Shen." Su Hao hugged Yang Chaodong and said with a smile.
"Master Su Tian doesn't have to leave in a hurry. Whether the deal is successful or not, we can still be friends. Regarding the cinnabar mine, Yang just doesn't dare to make any independent decisions. For such a big matter, I still need to ask my father to make a decision.
, Master Su, how about you wait patiently for a few days?" Yang Chaodong heard that Su Hao was retreating in order to advance, so he quickly handed Su Hao a ladder.
"Forget it, the student will be here to harass General Yang Shen for a few days." Su Hao said, "However, the student's servants also asked General Yang Shen to allow them to return to Chongqing. If they are needed in the future, the student will not
Just write a warrant to summon them."
"Just follow Tianshi Su." Yang Chaodong agreed happily. Since Su Hao himself is willing to stay, there is no need for those men who detained Su Hao. He is now fully convinced that Su Hao is indeed a surveyor.
, there is no harm to Bozhou, so why bother detaining these useless servants to offend Su Hao?
After the matter is settled, there is no need for everyone to stay in this deserted place. The Dongjiawan coal mine has been surveyed, and the next step is how to arrange the miners for mining. This kind of thing does not require Yang Chaodong
Go and experience it yourself.
The group got on their horses and walked along the official road to Bozhou City. They met Wang Qifeng and He Benzheng and others he had brought back. Seeing Su Hao and Yang Chaodong walking side by side, He Benzheng and others hurriedly knelt down.
He shouted to Su Hao: "Thank you, proprietor, for saving me!"
What He Benzheng and others did was not just for fun. Wang Qifeng had just told them that it was Su Hao who came to Bozhou City in person to plead with Yang Chaodong, and Yang Chaodong agreed to release them. Of course He Benzheng and others knew that Su Hao came to Bozhou.
What a risk they were taking, and precisely because of this, their hearts were filled with emotion. This kneeling could be said to be a completely heartfelt move.
"Brothers, please get up." Su Hao rolled off his horse and held his hands, "Brothers are frightened. Come on, come on. Let's first thank General Yang Shen. He is so generous and will not care about your offense."
This time, He Benzheng and others were all acting. They bowed to Yang Chaodong one after another and expressed their gratitude. Yang Chaodong didn't pay attention, and just said casually: "There were some misunderstandings in the past, which made you suffer for a few days.
I would like to apologize to you all."
Everyone said some polite words such as "How dare you", and then He Benzheng asked Su Hao: "Proprietor, where are you going?"
Su Hao said: "Yang Shen will invite me to stay in Bozhou for a few days. You will go back to Chongqing with Taoist Chen first. I will go back soon."
"How can this be done?" He Benzheng's face changed suddenly, "Proprietor, let me stay in Bozhou. You can just take the brothers back."
Based on He Benzheng's thinking, Su Hao must have been taken hostage to replace them. To put it bluntly, this matter was originally caused by soldiers like them acting secretly. Even if he was not responsible, he could not let the general stay.
In the enemy's camp, he ran back. Hao Tong and Deng Kui once told them repeatedly that if the soldiers were afraid of death in front of the battle, and the enemy would be killed or injured, they would be beheaded even if they ran back.
Su Hao's eyes widened and he said: "What the hell, General Yang Shen invited me to Bozhou as a guest. How can you and others replace me? Do you know your identity?"
"This..." He Benzheng was speechless. He really didn't know what Su Hao and Yang Chaodong said. However, judging from Yang Chaodong's attitude, he seemed to respect Su Hao quite a bit, unlike the group who sent troops to arrest him before.
The situation was completely different. He thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, let the brothers go back with Daochang Chen, and the subordinates will go to Bozhou with the proprietor to serve them. What does the proprietor think?"
"Master Su Tianshi, please leave two people to serve you." Yang Chaodong became impatient and said immediately.
"Forget it, let's do this. He Benzheng and Xiong Minyang, you two will stay and follow me to Bozhou. The rest of the people will follow Daochang Chen back to Chongqing to wait for orders. Do you understand?" Su Hao ordered.
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
