Chapter 120: Dig up the world's number one copper mine first

Wei Zheng is a very smart person, and so is Fang Xuanling.

Moreover, these two people are very flexible. Since Chen Ying, under the banner of building Chidao, started to build a railway called "Chidao" before the steam engine train was invented. Whether there is or not, Chidao's advantage is unparalleled in the official road of this era.

Especially for transportation efficiency, with the assistance of the Chidao, the four-wheeled heavy-duty carriage can carry 6,000 kilograms of cargo and can be transported along the Chidao at a speed of 300 miles per day. With the full line of the Chang'an to Luoyang, the efficiency of transporting grain from Luoyang to Guanzhong has increased by more than ten times. The continuous four-wheeled heavy-duty carriage can be transported from Luoyang to Guanzhong every day from Luoyang to Guanzhong up to 220,000 shi of grains every day. Even if the Guanzhong particles are not harvested, Guanzhong will no longer cause turmoil due to grain hunger.

It was not only about transporting food and grass, but especially military transportation. The Tang Dynasty did not say that it was comfortable or uncomfortable. A carriage of the same size as a heavy carriage was stuffed into a group of fully armed soldiers in this space of only ten square meters. Ten thousand troops only needed a thousand four-wheeled carriages to march for 300 miles a day. The key was that there would be no fatigue. Let the saying "A person who is interested in a hundred miles is despairing the general" completely sweep into the old paper pile.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling looked around the Tang Dynasty map for two hours and came to a conclusion that once Li Shimin attacked from the Fusang continent, from Liaodong, to Linhai, Qiongzhou, and Jiaozhou, there were almost landing places everywhere, and the long coast would be Li Shimin's natural landing ground. When he was guarding the Eastern Turks north, there were traces to find, because the Great Wall had been built by dynasties and could be used for the nomadic people to go south. Even if he was guarding, there were traces to find.

However, the coast is so long and there is no danger to guard, which is a very headache.

Could it be to build a coastal Great Wall?

Even Wei Zheng was shocked by this crazy idea. The cost of building the Great Wall was so great that even Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng could not imagine it.

A vein gradually formed in Wei Zheng's head. It is not advisable to build the Great Wall. So what about building a storm? Once a strategic storm is built along the coasts of Youzhou, Dingzhou, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Runzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou? Armed troops stationed in Youzhou, Guangzhou and other coastal states, once Li Shimin's army is discovered to attack, they can quickly rush along the strategic storm and block Li Shimin from this strategic storm around the sea.

Of course, this is also a strategic project that is no less than the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. For example, how many farmlands, mountains, rivers and rivers are required to be passed through to build this road. It makes people feel that dogs bite hedgehogs and have nowhere to start.

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this road must be repaired. The focus is on building Yuezhou, Yangzhou and Runzhou first."

Li Shimin's biggest weakness is that there are no war horses in the Fusang continent. Even though Zhang Zhongjian tried his best to carry war horses to the Fusang continent, he didn't know whether it was because of the disagreement or other reasons. Anyway, the war horses in the Fusang continent, whether it was Xianbei horses or Hequ horses, would all be destroyed without exception. They were not as big as donkeys or as fast as cows. Even so, Li Shimin's millions of troops had only less than five thousand cavalry, and they were mainly scouted cavalry.

Once Li Shimin chose Youzhou or Hebei as the landing site, the Andong Army or Hebei Army would let Li Shimin know what the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was. The only thing Li Shimin could use was the mountains or wetlands of Yuezhou and Runzhou or Fuzhou, and the Tang Dynasty did not arrange many cavalry in the three states.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's good, then build the Chidao first."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has no money in the national treasury!"

A penny stumped the hero, not to mention that what Li Jiancheng lacked was not a penny, but a huge number in units of millions of guan.

Wei Ting looked at Li Jiancheng with a headache and said carefully: "It's better to compromise with the aristocratic race..."

Before Wei Ting finished speaking, Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "It's impossible!"

However, the money problem is still unsolvable.

Under the same sky, Chen Ying was also worried.

What Chen Ying was worried about was not that he had no money, but that he was the opposite.

Too much money.

If Yang Rong should be born with wealth, Yang Rong returned to the Wu family business since Ye County and Chen Ying separated. However, when he was in Kucha, a caravan of Yang Rong got lost. Even Yang Rong thought that this small caravan with about 100 people would be buried in the desert. Who knew that this small caravan arrived at Green Stone Mountain by chance and discovered a very large copper mine.

Without the reminder of this caravan, Chen Ying had obviously forgotten that in the territory of Baodege County, which borders China in Mongolia (actually China), it is the world's largest copper mine, Oyutauregee gold and copper mine.

Chen Ying knew about this great discovery. After all, the world's number one is easy to remember. The storage capacity of the Oyutauri gold and copper mine has been proven. It was initially proved that the copper reserves were 31.1 million tons, gold reserves were 1,328 tons, and silver reserves were 7,600 tons.

Not counting the value of silver and copper, the value of gold alone is as high as more than 464.8 billion. If copper is included, the value is the most amazing, reaching more than 2 trillion yuan.

Of course, the guy from Yang Rong's business also discovered the 300-mile coal mine northwest of the Oyutauri gold and copper mine. The coal mine here is amazingly large. It ran for three days and was all in the open air. Even the sand with grass was not more than one foot deep. Yang Rong did not find out how big the gold, copper and silver mine was, but she was already scared after preliminary investigation.

Yang Rong rushed to Shule without stopping to report to Chen Ying about this.

When Chen Ying heard this news, he quickly thought about what this place was. In later generations, this place no longer belonged to China. It had a gold, silver and copper mine of up to 2 trillion yuan, and a coal mine of up to nearly 2 trillion yuan. Even the United States, which had a wealthy future, would not remain indifferent to the wealth of 4 trillion yuan.

As Marx said, if there is 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 100% profit, capital will dare to risk it; if there is 300% profit, they will dare to trample on all laws in the world. Of course, Chen Ying is facing wealth of up to 4 trillion yuan now.

Even if it is converted into Guan in the Tang Dynasty, this wealth is equivalent to 93,479 trillion Guan. I am afraid that the treasury income of the Tang Dynasty would not have that much money in the 289 years.

No one thinks that there are too many things in their homes, and no one is unhappy to get other people's things into their homes. Especially for time travelers like Chen Ying, who likes to visit forums in his previous life, and at least knows some things that are not very confidential at all.

In later generations, many countries had quite a few domestic resources, but these countries often chose to spend money to import abroad and did not intend to mine them from their own country. Just like rare earth resources, such metal resources that play an extremely important role in military, metallurgy, chemical industry, agriculture, etc. Everyone shouted that the rare earth content of the flower grower is the best in the world, and some little rabbits in the flower grower are proud of this.

But in fact? Rare earths themselves are sold at a low price as a scarce resource. When they were sold at a bargain price, they were not as expensive as pork. In the past, China's total reserves accounted for 88% of the world, but now only 52% are left. This is Chen Ying's biggest heartache as a shit...

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to Yang Rong: "You can organize people to dig that coal mine, and you can dig as much as you can. Anyway, I served as the Great Protector in Anxi for only five years. As the saying goes, tea is cold. Once I leave, it is hard to say whether you can keep the coal mine..."

Speaking of this, Chen Ying organized a speech and said: "You can also organize manpower to bid for these coal mines and copper mines from major aristocratic families!"

In later generations, the little Japanese crazily bought Chinese coal to reclaim the sea, and of course they bought rare earths to hoard them, and then sold them back three to five hundred times.

Chen Ying planned to learn something. Anyway, the steam train has been invented. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will enter the industrial revolution, and the consumption of coal will definitely be endless. So let's consume the world's number one coal mine first...

Thinking of this, Chen Ying picked up a pen and gave Li Jiancheng the memorial.
