Chapter 39: Hot Discussion


Chapter 39 Hot Discussion The next thing is simple, after the cave was wiped out, Cui Long first deceived and gathered all the core figures of the Blood Alliance in Lingnan, and then repeated the old trick, subduing most of them with the momentum of stealing the bell and ringing the bell with lightning speed, and after some cleaning and integration, it can be regarded as completely holding the Lingnan branch of the Blood Alliance in his hands, opening a good situation for the future hegemony of the Boling Cui clan.

However, Cui Long had just taken over the Lingnan branch of the Blood Alliance, and what he had done these days had already reached the headquarters of the Blood Alliance, and the Elders were furious about it, and they rebuked the Boling Cui clan one after another, asking them to hand over Cui Long and give an explanation.

It's a pity that this was originally instructed by the Boling Cui clan to Cui Long, and Cui Long successfully took over the Nanyang branch of the Blood Alliance, which perfectly provided the prerequisites for the Boling Cui clan to compete for the silver island.

Not to mention how the Boling Cui clan compromised with the rest of the family.

After a series of actions, the news of Silver Island was completely leaked, and then in less than half a month, it was completely spread to the world, and the whole world was shocked, and all the people who didn't want to close it began to accumulate discussions.

As the center of the world at this time, Chang'an has completely become the center of the whirlpool because of this news, and the discussion among the people is particularly intense.

"Did you hear that?

King Yue discovered an island in the South China Sea full of silver mines. ” "Hey!

This thing is not new for a long time, and no one in the whole Chang'an still knows?

” "Of course I know it's outdated, but I can't help but want to talk about it."

"Also, this is a whole silver mine after all, not to mention anything else, let me dig a few shovels, and I won't have to worry about money in my life."

"The beauty you think, the silver mine must be from the imperial court, how can it be our share?"

"The silver mine belongs to the imperial court?

Not necessarily, right?

” "What do you mean?"

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is not the only one in the imperial court, do you think those forces will let the imperial court swallow such a big cake?"

"Is there going to be war again?"

"It's hard to say......" “……” Not only the people, but as the rumors became more and more intense, there were even discussions in the court.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked down: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of Zhen'er's discovery of the silver mine has now spread among the people, and there have been signs of instability among the people, and even more so, the price of silver in some places has begun to fall, almost falling by more than three percent......

How do you think Aiqing should deal with this matter?

” "Your Majesty."

A representative of the family stood up and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know if this silver mine is true or false?"

” Obviously, this is just a person from a small family, otherwise it would be impossible to ask such a question.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and asked instead of answering: "Really?"

What about the fake?

” "What the minister means.

If the rumor is false, it will naturally be dealt with according to the rumor, and if the rumor is true......

If the rumors are true, it will naturally be attributed to the imperial court.

Obviously, the representative of the family was very entangled when he said such a thing, but even if he was self-aware, if he really dared to say that the silver mine was mined by the people, Li Shimin would immediately dare to call the guards and kill the killer.

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, and I mean the same thing."

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "As for the authenticity of the silver mine......

Although it is a little incredible, what I can tell you Aiqing is that this silver island really exists, Liu Renliang personally went to the island to investigate, and found that the entire island is made of silver ore, and even the stone skin on the outside of the ore is actually the product of the weathering of silver ore, and silver can still be extracted from it. ” "What?

It turned out to be true. ” "Sure enough, it's true, and now it's interesting."

"Hehe, I'd like to see how some people are going to open their mouths?"

“……” "Then, I don't know what the emperor is going to do with this silver mine?"

As a representative of the family, Wu Youde saw that Li Shimin no longer planned to hide it, so he stood up and asked.

Li Shimin glanced at him strangely and asked: "Wu Aiqing's question is so strange, the silver mine was discovered by Zhen'er, so it will naturally belong to Zhen'er, after all, he has a mineral exploration and mining priority."

However, Zhen'er was filial and knew that the treasury was empty, so she took the initiative to donate the silver mine to me to fill the treasury......

What a good boy, I don't even know how to reward him. ” "......"

Wu Youde was speechless, Li Shimin, you are really shameless. sighed, and praised Li Zhen by the way, Li Shimin continued: "Let's continue Wu Aiqing's question just now, the silver mine originally belonged to Zhen'er, but Zhen'er has been dedicated to me, so the silver mine naturally belongs to the Tang Dynasty."

Now that Datang has repeatedly fought foreign wars, and the treasury is empty, it is when money is needed, and this silver mine can just return a wave of blood......

Wu Aiqing, do you have any opinions?

” In the end, it was already a lot heavier, and Wu Youde, who was oppressed by the majesty of the emperor, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but for the benefit of the family, he still held his scalp and said: "Of course, the silver mine will belong to the imperial court, there is no doubt about this."

It's just that the minister thinks that the mining of silver ore does not require much technical content.

Therefore, what the minister means is that this part of the work can be outsourced to the people, and the court only needs to smelt it.

In this way, there will be two benefits, first, not only does it save the initial investment, we only need to build a smelter in the mainland, and we can harvest the silver in vain.

What's more, Silver Island is isolated overseas, and there are countless profits, it is inevitable that some bold water bandits and pirates will sneak attack Silver Island, for the sake of defense problems, it is necessary to station a strong naval fleet around Silver Island, this alone, will cost a lot of money.

This is also the second benefit of Silver Island outsourcing, who contracted Silver Island, then who is responsible for the specific defense, if something goes wrong, then we can directly find the contractor's trouble, do not have to bother to find pirates all over the world, this matter of the minister's plan to kill two birds with one stone, but also ask the emperor to judge. ” This is the family's plan, Yindao belongs to the imperial court, this is certain, although the major forces are rampant, but they have not yet dared to blatantly oppose the imperial court, let alone directly from the imperial court's bowl.

But watching the court eat meat, they can't even drink soup, which is naturally what some people don't want to see.

So they came up with a compromise solution, that is, the ownership of Silver Island naturally belongs to the imperial court, but the defense and mining work of Silver Island is taken over by themselves, and a certain amount of silver ore is mined every month and sent to the imperial court as filial piety - as for the rest, it is naturally their own.
