Chapter 2971 The Han and Tang Dynasty firms have achieved new achievements: the discovery of rice in Lucheng
After experiencing the previous painful lessons, all the important military officials of the Tang Dynasty have understood a truth.
Now that Goguryeo is at a disadvantage, everyone just takes the opportunity to make great achievements and relax.
As for Cheng Sanlang, let him continue to stay in Liaodong City and play with the gang of Goguryeo surrender soldiers. If something happens, don't let Cheng Sanlang get involved, otherwise, he will be the protagonist.
As for the group of civil servants, they had no objections to Cheng Sanlang taking over the Liaodong City, which was still on the verge of war.
After all, there are still raging wars around here, and no one would be willing to come over to this place of four battles to suffer hardship even if they tried to persuade others.
Of course, for Cheng Sanlang, he is not an ordinary person. For him, this land in Liaodong is a good place with great potential.
Not to mention that this was the black land that would later be called the granary of China. There was even a saying about beating roe deer with sticks and ladles to scoop out fish, as well as countless delicacies and game, as well as countless precious Chinese herbal medicines.
Similarly, the countless minerals here have made this place a paradise for heavy industry for a long time.
It can be said that in Cheng Sanlang's eyes, this is definitely a geomantic treasure land.
Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou, the two generals who surrendered, eventually Li Shimin took away Gao Huizhen, leaving Gao Yanshou in charge of the 100,000 surrendered soldiers.
Gao Yanshou's eyes turned red when he heard that his immediate boss was Cheng Sanlang, who had kept him awake for several days.
It's a pity that he is just a surrender, how can he still raise opinions and express objections? Haha...
In the next few days, Cheng Chubi began a new round of work behind closed doors and splashed ink in the house. Soon, the "Liaodong Prefecture's First Five-Year Development Scale Outline" was released.
Of course, this thing is for you to see, not for others.
The Han and Tang Commercial Banks immediately purchased most of the entire street here, making it the important stronghold of the Tang Dynasty and Han Tang Commercial Banks in the Northeast region and the location of the Liaodong Prefecture Branch of the Datang and Han Tang Commercial Banks.
Pigeons, fast horses, and light boats all headed in all directions.
After Li Shimin made Cheng Sanlang the governor of Liaocheng Prefecture, Cheng Sanlang never appeared again.
This made the elder Li Shimin very distressed, so he could only take the initiative to come to the door. Only then did he realize that Cheng Sanlang had hardly even left the house in the past few days.
Cheng Sanlang, who was having an in-depth exchange and discussion with the two shopkeepers who had rushed here in a hurry, heard that his father-in-law had sneaked over, so he could only quickly put aside his official duties and go to receive the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Then I saw that Li Shimin was not sitting in the hall sipping tea. Instead, he was standing with Zhao Kun on a map filled with all kinds of strange symbols. However, it looked similar to the map currently used by the Tang Dynasty.
In front of the big picture.
There he pointed and whispered.
"What are these things? Zhao Kun, can you tell?"
Zhao Kun also shook his head in confusion. "Your Majesty, I don't understand what these weird and weird symbols represent."
It's not Zhao Kun's fault, nor Li Shimin's fault. The symbols used on the map compiled by Cheng Sanlang are currently only known to the professional prospectors of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin couldn't help but start to make associations and began to think. Zhao Kun on the side gave his own guess in a smart way.
"Is this where those Mohe tribes are? Each sign represents a tribe?"
Facing Zhao Kun's conjecture, Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Hey, after hearing what you said, I think that's what happened. After all, there are many barbarians and tribes here, but..."
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Li Shimin paused and turned his head, raising his hand to greet Cheng Sanlang.
"My dear son-in-law, you are here. Come here, I look at this thing. It looks a bit like a map, but there are so many strange symbols on it. Could it be that they mark the locations of the Mohe tribes?"
"I met my father-in-law. This map is the distribution map of various mineral resources in Liaodong and the Goguryeo Peninsula."
Zhao Kun: "..."
"...Mineral resources?" Li Shimin grinned and looked at these weird symbols.
"Well, dear son-in-law, tell me, what kind of mineral is this black rectangle?"
"My father-in-law, this is a copper mine. Look here, on both sides of the Yalu River, this large area is full of copper mines, and it is also accompanied by gold mines. According to the prospectors of our Han and Tang Commercial Bank, this area of copper mines
The reserves are equivalent to..."
Next, Li Shimin and Zhao Kun saw Cheng Sanlang bending his fingers one by one.
After all ten fingers were bent, it seemed that Li Shimin was still unfinished, so he straightened Li Shimin's hair.
"What are you doing? It's just copper mine reserves. Just say no and that's it."
"No, no, no, father-in-law, it's not that my son-in-law doesn't want to say it, but he has to first convert it into kilograms to calculate.
Let's put it this way, the value of the copper reserves here is equivalent to the 30 million guan of my Datang..."
"..." Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang with a dull expression, always feeling that this boy was talking nonsense.
But facing Cheng Sanlang's expression that seemed to say that my son-in-law was serious, he couldn't find any flaws.
After all, he couldn't dig out all the copper ore, weigh it and put it back again.
In fact, Cheng Chubi didn't know anything about it. He only knew that the copper mine in that area would be called the largest copper mine in Asia in later generations, and its reserves were astonishing.
As for how amazing it was, he didn't know, so he could only talk nonsense, and his father-in-law would only listen to half of it anyway.
But even if you only listened to half of it, haha, that’s still 150 million yuan. How many years of tax revenue did the Tang Dynasty need to collect?
In addition to the copper mines there, there is also iron from Anshan, and coal from Benxi and Fuxin, not to mention the outrageously rich mineral resources on both sides of the Yalu River.
Li Shimin and Zhao Kun stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang, whose eyes were shining with excitement as he poked his fingers around on the huge drawing paper, which was full of various symbols.
Following Cheng Sanlang's chirping, in short, Li Shimin also felt his heart pounding.
The important thing is that Cheng Sanlang made it very clear that there are a large number of coal mines and large iron mines just around Liaodong City.
Many ordnances no longer need to be transported from Luoyang, and can be produced and manufactured locally, and the weapons in the hands of soldiers can also be maintained in a timely manner in Liaodong.
In addition, the land here is quite fertile, and the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants have already obtained the kind of native rice in the Lucheng area of this land through their own channels, which is later known as Lucheng rice.
