But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
Even Qin Shihuang was so domineering that after unification, he gathered all the weapons from the world to Xianyang and cast them into twelve bronze men. It is understandable that Li Er did not want uncontrolled weapons and armor to appear among the people.
As a result, Su Chen became a little worried.
He exchanged the smelting method for aviation aluminum in order to arm the Tang Dynasty's cavalry so that they could better conquer the world and expand their territory.
But if the armor can't be sold, then isn't it all in vain?
"What should we do about this matter..."
Su Chen walked to the window, sat on a chair, poured himself a pot of tea, and began to think about this matter.
After thinking for a while, Su Chen didn't have any better ideas for the time being, so he lowered his head and wrote back on the paper.
When Su Chen came out of the study, it was already midnight.
After a busy night, his face showed a hint of tiredness, but he couldn't go to sleep directly yet.
Because according to the previous plan, the ship of gold will be transported back to Sujiazhuang at midnight today.
Calculating the time, it's almost time to arrive.
Su Chen stretched, stood up and walked towards the entrance of Zhuangzi.
Not long after, the sound of carriages was heard on the distant road, and it was the old housekeeper who was walking in the front!
Su Chen hurried up to greet the old housekeeper and asked: "Old Xu, how is the situation?"
The old butler lowered his voice and replied: "Don't worry, young master, there is no problem at all. We move very quickly and can finish loading all the gold into the truck in half an hour!"
"According to the young master's request, the carriages went their separate ways and did not gather together. They did not join together until Wannian County."
"Old Zhao and the others have also been observing secretly, and there is nothing unusual."
After listening to the old housekeeper's report, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He felt very at ease when these people were working.
Then, he spoke quickly: "These things don't need to be put into the treasury. They can be sent directly to the blacksmith workshop in the back mountain so that Lao Chen and the others can start working."
After saying that, he jumped on the carriage and walked with the team towards the back mountain.
The main reason why this matter is so troublesome is because the system cannot directly exchange raw ore.
Although the purity of these gold mines is very high and the accurate value can be estimated, if you want to exchange them, you have to melt them into gold nuggets.
For this matter, Su Chen made sufficient preparations in advance. He built dozens of new and enlarged carriages regardless of the cost. He also set aside a separate piece of land on the back mountain and built a new iron smelting workshop. Waiting for these
As soon as the gold mine arrives, work can begin immediately.
After the smelting is completed, the manufacturing process of aviation aluminum must be figured out.
The matter is of great importance, and Su Chen must pay attention to it all the way.
According to his estimate, he would have to stay in seclusion for at least a month this time.
Time flies so fast, fifteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these fifteen days, Su Chen was so busy that he lived in the iron smelting workshop in the back mountain for food and accommodation almost every day.
Since this matter is of great importance, even the people of Sujiazhuang should not let too many people know about it.
Therefore, Su Chen only arranged for the old housekeeper, Lao Zhao and more than a dozen people to help.
More than ten people were divided into two groups, working in shifts during the day and during the day.
The furnaces used to smelt gold were almost never stopped.
Even so, only half of the gold mine was completed in half a month.
According to the current progress, it will take at least ten days to finish everything.
While Su Chen was busy, Chang'an became lively early in the morning.
Millions of people in the city were all immersed in a sea of joy.
Because according to the previous announcement, today is the day when foreign countries come to Chang'an to worship and express their surrender!
Today, in the Tang Dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, materials are abundant, people's lives are prosperous, culture has reached its peak, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.
Therefore, the public sentiment has been condensed to an extremely exaggerated level.
This grand ceremony made all the people of Tang Dynasty feel extremely proud.
Everyone is very satisfied to be able to live in such a powerful country!
The emperor is enlightened and benevolent, the officials are proficient in integrity, the army is invincible in all directions, and there is a mysterious Lord Protector who makes all the people no longer hungry. How can the people not love such a country?!
Therefore, on this day of national celebration, all the residents of Chang'an City and people coming from all directions took to the streets.
Vendors and shops on the road also closed their stalls in advance and stood on both sides of the streets planned by the court in advance, waiting to watch the procession of envoys who came to worship.
"Hey, have you heard? It is said that the treasures paid tribute by the dissenting countries this time are no less than a dozen cartloads, which are priceless!"
"Really? It seems that these foreigners are sincerely surrendering, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with so many treasures."
"Yes, this is all due to Your Majesty's meritorious service in governing the country, otherwise we would not be in the current situation."
…
For a time, everyone was discussing with gusto, proud of being a member of the Tang Dynasty!
Just as all the people were looking forward to it with excitement, a carriage quietly set off from the side gate of Taiji Palace, traveled quickly along Zhuque Street, and soon disappeared outside Chunming Gate.
Judging from the direction the carriage left, the destination seemed to be Wannian County.
And this time the person inside cannot be His Majesty Li Er.
Because at this time, he was waiting for the arrival of envoys from various countries in the main hall of Taiji Palace. There was still a long list of procedures to go through, so how could he still have time to go out.
And ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others who often go to Wannian County are also busy with things. From this point of view, the answer is obvious!
Sitting in the car were none other than His Majesty Li Er's two precious daughters - Princess Changle and Sizi.
After leaving Chang'an City, a soft and nervous voice suddenly came from the originally very quiet carriage.
"Sister, if we sneak out like this, Dad will be angry if he finds out."
This is Xiao Sizi's voice.
At this time, her two little hands were nervously twisted together, and there was a hint of timidity in her big eyes, and Princess Changle sitting next to her was not much better.
Princess Changle sat upright in the carriage, her body slightly stiff.
Hearing her sister's words, she pretended to be calm and patted Si Zi's little head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, dad is very busy today. I'm afraid I won't have time to go home to the palace until evening."
"As long as we get back before dark, everything will be fine."
Naturally, the purpose of the two sisters' trip this time was to go to Wannian County to find Su Chen.
They haven't seen Su Chen for several months since he left for Japan.
After finally waiting for Su Chen to come back, Princess Changle immediately went to beg His Majesty Li Er to go to Wannian County.
