Chapter 2519 There is no one million taels, how can you be so embarrassed to call Jinshan?
Hearing his father-in-law muttering in a low voice, Cheng Sanlang continued the calculation very cooperatively.
"Yes, one hundred thousand taels a year, one hundred and eleven million taels, ten million taels a hundred years, and ten million taels a thousand years.
After all, it is Jinshan. If you don’t have ten million taels, how can you be so embarrassed to call it Jinshan?”
"Moreover, there are not only Jinshan Mountains, but also Silver Mountains, and the silver reserves of Yinshan Mountains are dozens of times that of Jinshan Mountains."
"...Count, dozens of times."
Li Shimin fell into a trance again. Fortunately, this time, Li Mingda, a small cotton-padded jacket, stepped forward in time.
I supported my father and asked him to sit in front of the desk. He picked up the tea and gave my father two sips slowly to prevent my father from actually drawing away.
After Li Shimin grinned at his daughter, he stared blankly at his virtuous son-in-law who was standing there. He was no longer shining with gold, but seemed to be inlaid with gold and silver.
A ten million tael of gold is equivalent to a hundred thousand guan, and a silver reserve of dozens of times requires hundreds of thousands of guan...
How much tax revenue did Datang receive last year? It seemed to be less than 4 million yuan.
And the gold and silver on that Yellow Bird Island alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Isn't that equivalent to the total tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years?
"... Third brother, is it true or false?" Li Zhi on the side couldn't help but asked in a low voice towards Li Ke beside him.
Li Ke chuckled and looked at the ninth brother with a wise expression on his face.
"If it's not true, Cheng Sanlang has now committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you think he dares to joke about such a thing?"
Li Zhi looked over there and saw Cheng Sanlang, who had already sat down and still looked high-spirited, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"...Well, this Han and Tang Dynasty business firm is so lucky, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Li Ke smiled meaningfully. Were the merchants of the Han and Tang Dynasties so lucky? Haha...
It also depends on who is at the helm of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses. The so-called Yellow Bird Island was basically designated by Cheng Sanlang, and he insisted that there was a treasure, okay?
The reason why everyone is willing to believe in Cheng Sanlang is because he has a mouth like a golden crow.
Whenever he says there is a good treasure somewhere, as long as you listen to him, you will definitely find it.
However, there is no need to let the little kid Li Zhi know about such a thing. After all, Li Ke also knows very well that this adult ninth brother is not a simple person.
Until he regained his senses, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang with burning eyes.
"Is there any evidence?"
"My father-in-law, last night, the first batch of one hundred thousand taels of gold was shipped back from Huangniao Island.
We have already landed at the pier and stopped in the warehouse of Hantang Trading Company at Luodong Pier."
"In that case, seeing it is believing. Erlang, are you interested in going with me to have a look?"
Li Yuan walked over with a smile and asked Li Shimin.
#####
The female relatives such as Empress Changsun and Li Mingda stayed behind, while Li Zhi continued to shamelessly follow the team and go together.
Cheng Chubi didn't care. After all, this was his father-in-law's biological son. It would be inappropriate to drive him away by himself if his father-in-law didn't say anything.
Of course, I am not bragging that there are not only gold mountains but also silver mountains on Huangniao Island.
It's just that Cheng Chubi really boasted about the reserves of gold and silver.
But the problem is that only he knows what he is bragging about, not others.
After all, even if it takes one hundred thousand taels of gold to be mined a year, let alone three to five hundred years, there will definitely be no problem even if it takes three to fifty years.
After all, the Sado Gold Mountain was mined for hundreds of years in later generations, and it must have weighed a thousand kilograms every year.
As for the silver reserves on Nasado Island, Cheng Chubi was very confident that he was definitely not cheating.
The reason why he remembered it so clearly is that the Japanese nation, which had a good life in their early days, also wanted to list the Nasado Island Jinshan as a World Heritage Site in later generations.
Such an action naturally angered a group of passionate young people. It was at that time that Cheng Chubi began to search for gold and silver mineral information in Japan.
Then I was shocked to discover that the originally small Japanese island had quite a lot of gold and silver minerals.
What's more, the most important thing now is to seduce the Emperor of Tang Dynasty with the greatest benefits.
Let him acknowledge this matter, willingly include Yellow Bird Island into the broad embrace of the Tang Dynasty, and confirm the international practice of first come, first served.
In the future, we will be able to lay a solid foundation for Han and Tang dynasties to obtain more good treasures and discover more territories.
Today, Luoyang City is very lively, and the number of pedestrians outside the city has naturally become relatively rare. After leaving the city, the speed of the team has become much faster.
Luodong Wharf is the largest wharf in the suburbs of Luoyang City, handling a huge amount of cargo every day.
And after Cheng Luoyang renovated the entire plan, it now looks much more orderly than before.
Especially the rows of brand new large houses near the dock area, which are dock warehouses specially used to store goods.
The Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Banks rented nearly one-third of the warehouse. In a short time, the team arrived in front of the most heavily guarded warehouse.
The people responsible for guarding here are the elite soldiers sent by each government. After all, it is one hundred thousand taels of gold. If you don't watch it closely, you really can't worry.
#####
In the warehouse, everyone had left. At this moment, Deng Chengxin quickly opened the locks on the neatly arranged boxes one by one.
Cheng Sanlang followed closely behind, picking and lifting with his big hands, and the box of golden gold bars dazzled everyone's eyes.
One box, another box, one box after another. Every time Cheng Sanlang opened a box, all the Li family members would subconsciously squint their eyes.
Even though the entire Lao Li family is well-informed, they have never seen such a simple and crude way of showing off gold.
One hundred boxes were all opened by Cheng Sanlang, revealing the golden gold bars inside.
Seeing the eyes of the four members of the old Li family shining with dumbfounded expressions, even in the end, they all came closer and picked up strips of gold bars in their hands.
Jiaba looked at these gold bars one by one, as if they were professional appraisers.
Cheng Chubi waved his hand proudly, feeling very accomplished.
"One box weighs one hundred kilograms. There are a hundred boxes here, totaling one hundred thousand taels of gold..."
"This is just about a year's mining volume. As for the reason why silver is not mined, the main reason is the lack of manpower."
"Otherwise, at least hundreds of thousands and two hundred silver can be placed here."
With a grunt, Cheng Chubi heard several swallowing sounds, and then heard his father-in-law's obviously concealing cough.
Apparently, the father-in-law was also included in the act of swallowing saliva just now.
