Chapter 500: let you mine
Chapter 500 Let you go mining
Xiao Guang turned to the first page expressionlessly, his eyes were so red that he almost stabbed his eyes. After turning a few pages, he was so happy that he threw the account book and said solemnly: "You Just show me these? If I remember correctly, the treasury should have been filled a lot!"
The Minister of the Household bowed his head, "What the emperor said is very true, but those things are only enough to fill some of the previous loopholes, and they are not enough for fighting. If the emperor intends to dispatch food and grass from the treasury, it is also possible. That is, next year, the national treasury expenditure will be reduced, and it cannot be mobilized in large quantities.”
The emperor was so annoyed by his words that he fell into deep thought.
The Minister of the Ministry of Housing became more and more uneasy, and waited hard to continue to talk to the emperor. He was ready to cry, make trouble, and hang himself with the emperor. He didn't think that Xiao Guang just waved his hand and took it again after being in a daze for a while. He put it lightly and said, "Go down, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Hubu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, as if he had been granted amnesty, he ran very fast, wishing he could grow two legs.
His appearance made Eunuch Liu stunned. He seemed to be uneasy with his legs and feet when he came over, and he would faint at any time. Why is he so vigorous now? installed?
Without waiting for Eunuch Liu to think wildly, Xiao Guang has already instructed: "Ji Guangyuan, the commander of Xuan An Camp, is in Dali Temple and Wen Yuanhong is entering the palace."
When Wen Yuanhong received the imperial decree, he was stunned. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly announced that he was such a small sixth-rank official. Even the Dali Si Qing was alarmed by this, and he specially called him over and looked him up and down. After a pass, he asked inexplicably, "What did the emperor announce to you?"
Wen Yuanhong shook his head, even more dazed than Dali Siqing.
The Dali Temple Minister paused and asked in another way: "Do you know the emperor?"
Wen Yuanhong thought of the origin of the emperor and his family, and shook his head uncertainly, "It doesn't count, I have nothing to do with the emperor."
"That's weird! Why did he follow you?" Dali Siqing couldn't understand, so he reminded him, "Be careful after entering the palace, be careful with words and deeds, and don't be aggressive, our new emperor can Incredible! Don't be easily targeted by him."
Wen Yuanhong nodded again and again, thanked him respectfully, and withdrew.
Because of Dali Siqing's reminder, he held his breath all the way, until after entering the imperial study room to salute and standing up, and seeing the old Jitou standing beside him, his breath was relieved. If you summon him, it will be fine if you don't become the center!
didn't wait for him to rejoice for a long time, only the emperor said in a low voice slowly: "You must have heard about what happened in the court today!"
What's up? Wen Yuanhong had a question mark in his head. He only knew that the messenger had entered Beijing and that the imperial envoy had returned. He hadn't had time to find out the specifics!
Old Jitou said, "I know."
"It's easy to do if you know it! The treasury doesn't have enough money to fight for me, but the Tubo and Xiongnu have to do it. Now I'm short of money, very short! You know, Wen Yuanliang, who was fighting on the front line, is related to the two of you. Great, helping me is also helping him!" Xiao Guang said very directly.
Old Jitou didn't say anything, but Wen Yuanhong was even more dizzy. Wen Yuanliang was his eldest brother, and everyone knew that he had a close relationship with him, but when did the commander of the dark camp have a close relationship with his eldest brother?
Could it be that there is something he doesn't know about here? Just like the uncle?
Wen Yuanhong's thoughts were turning around, but Xiao Guang didn't give him a chance to think wildly, and ordered quickly: "Now I want you to set off for Dizhou to do something!"
Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong both looked up at Xiao Guang.
I just heard Xiao Guang say slowly: "There are several stone mountains in Qing'an County, Dizhou that have been dug for many years. I want you to go there to find silver mines. Of course, it may not be silver mines."
Wen Yuanhong was stunned and blurted out, "What the emperor said was the stone mountains in my family's unknown village?"
Xiao Guang nodded slightly.
Wen Yuanhong shook his head subconsciously, "Those mountains have nothing, they have been hollowed out, they are all big stones, very desolate, the stone from those stone mountains was used to build the workshop in the minister's family. It's almost been moved. The small hills that were not very high were dug first and then moved by us. Now they are almost flat. Even if it is not flat, it is at most a slope, even mountains. Not enough!"
Eunuch Liu listened with his face twitching, and couldn't help but ask: "I take the liberty to ask, what kind of workshop did Wen's family build? It can empty a mountain of stones!"
Wen Yuanhong blinked and said hesitantly, "Almost a small town was built, because it's all made of stone, so there's a little more."
Eunuch Liu was stunned and looked at Wen Yuanhong up and down, no matter how he looked at it, he could not see that the Wen family was so rich!
Xiao Guang interrupted Eunuch Liu's exclamation and said, "I know what you said, those stone mountains were bought by the Wei family back then, and they didn't know where to get the treasure map, saying that there is a silver mine in that area. , because I couldn't figure it out, I bought the surrounding mountains and destroyed them. As a result, I worked for decades and found nothing. The Wei family was raided in Mobei. I got some clues from their family. Many people have been sent to inquire, and your uncle is one of them.
After summarizing, the conclusion is that silver mines really exist! But not in those few stone mountains, but in the deep mountains of Zhangjiagou, some distance from the stone mountains. It may not be a silver mine. However, no matter what it is, it can be regarded as a treasure, and it must be of great value. What you have to do is Lead people to find out the truth! "
To put it bluntly, let them go mining!
Wen Yuanhong and Lao Jitou looked at each other and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, mining cannot be accomplished overnight. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to point to your ministers to find ores to support Mobei's battle?"
This is not wrong, it's just nonsense! But he didn't dare to speak so bluntly.
Xiao Guang looked at the way his thoughts were written on his face, he was amused, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I know what you said, so I didn't tell you to make something for me right away, I just asked you to do this. That's all, of course, if you can't find something, you won't be able to come back!"
Wen Yuanhong choked, and he began to think about whether to bring his wife and children back together. After all, he had to go for so long, and it was equivalent to leaving the house. He couldn't leave his wife and daughter here alone, plus Dizhou. , I think Evian would be more willing to go with him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Yuanhong stabilized, and happily gave the decree to thank him.
After leaving the imperial study, the old Jitou saw that he was walking like a floating, speechless, and couldn't help complaining: "You don't intend to stay in the Governor of Di, right?"
"Huh?" Wen Yuanhong stopped and looked at Old Ji Tou suspiciously, "Commander Ji may wish to speak directly."
