Chapter 134 Gold Mine
Time is coming to night. {
All the temple blessings have retreated. Although the temple blessings were a little lost, they were also erected by the temple blessings, and there was no trouble.
Li Dazhuang held the fire and stepped forward to light the oil lamp.
The sparks as big as beans are uneven and illuminated, and they all feel a little dim.
At this time, there were only Li Dazhuang and Wu Xinling in the hall.
"The niece of the Wu family, this time, you have really suffered!" Li Dazhuang and Wu Xinling were in the same village. When they were young, they still received the favor of Mr. Wu. Looking at Wu Xinling, they looked like their own daughter. Now, they couldn't help but say it.
"What's the matter? For the great cause of the City God, I will be grateful to the people. Xinling is still unwilling to break into pieces!" Wu Xinling said firmly, and as he said, there seemed to be a strange luster in his eyes.
"Oh! Well, since the City God has settled, I, Old Li, have nothing to say. Xinling's niece, in the future, if I am bullied in the Song family, even if I come to me, I, Old Li, will fight for this life and support you!"
Li Dazhuang looked at Wu Xinling with a very sincere tone.
"In this way, I'll thank Uncle Li!" Wu Xinling gave a slight politely and said.
After a pause, he said, "The governor of Song is a wise and decisive person who is as careful as a person. I believe that there are few such things in the house, so uncle doesn't have to worry."
"What's more, he has a lot of emphasis on our Chenghuang Temple blessings, so he probably won't make things difficult for him..."
"Oh! I've started talking to my husband before I even passed the door!" Li Dazhuang said with a big mouth and joking.
Wu Xinling was stunned and then remembered Song Yu's face. In my impression, the young man was heroic and handsome.
Her face couldn't help but blush. She pulled the corner of her clothes lightly and said non-stop: "Uncle Li, don't joke with her..."
Li Dazhuang was stunned. At this time, Wu Xinling was as if she had been knocked down from the world. Although she had lost the awesomeness of being outspoken, she saw the girl even more shy.
I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Old Li originally saw that you were all thinking about the City God. Even the marriage was delayed, so I was really anxious."
"Now I see you like this, but I feel most relieved..." A faint tears flashed in my eyes.
"Thank you uncle!" Li Dazhuang treated Wu Xinling almost as his own daughter, and was closer than her elder brother and sister-in-law. Wu Xinling's voice couldn't help but choke.
...
In the study of the Jieduan Mansion.
Song Yu held the book, but his attention was not on it, and asked, "How are you prepared for taking a concubine?"
The two below, one is Shen Wenbin and the other is Meng Zhu, are both trusted and trusted and first-class butler.
"You are the lord, everything is complete. Just wait for the lord to choose an auspicious day!" If you are formally married, it is not so easy. I will give you instructions in the morning and do it in the evening.
Three books and six rituals, and wedding books back and forth, which one does not require time?
But marrying a concubine is different. If you are casual, you don’t even have to hold a wedding banquet. If you don’t even have to take a sedan chair, you can just go to the mansion to serve you.
To outsiders, concubines and slaves are really first-class.
But Song Yu is not a person in this world after all. There are still some barriers in his heart, so he wants to do it a little more solemnly and make up for it.
He asked, "Which is the auspicious day?"
Meng Zhu stepped forward and replied: "This month's fifteenth and the ninth day of next month are all auspicious days. It is suitable to travel and marry..."
Song Yu pondered slightly and said, "Then let's reunite with the fifteenth month of this month, and the two men and the moon will be together. This town will be on this day, marrying two daughters to the family..."
"No!" Meng Zhu and Shen Wenbin looked at each other, and still felt that something was strange, but the lord didn't say it, he could only bear it.
Seeing this, Song Yu felt scheming in his heart. He didn't say it for now and asked: "It was just a trivial matter just now, but it will only be related to the rise and fall of the town. Don't be careless!"
When she said this, Song Yu's face was extremely solemn.
"Please make an announcement!" Shen Wenbin and Meng Zhu quickly bowed and said.
"Meng Zhu, how are you doing as a consultant to the household department of this town? "Song Yu asked first.
"Report to the lord! The town's household registration has been counted. There are a total of 100,000 households and more than 500,000 people. Of course, this is just the number of people on the list, servants from aristocratic families, and refugees, not included..."
Meng Zhusu was talented and worked as a consultant of the household department in Xin'an Mansion. He said that these data were casually available without any stagnation.
Song Yu nodded. It was the end of the dynasty, with serious land annexation and the population concealed by the aristocratic families was at least 200,000.
There is no land but little land, and the number of people who have become refugees is almost the same.
Although there were wars before, it was mostly limited to one place and did not affect the entire palace, so the household registration loss was not large.
By this calculation, Song Yu was already the lord of millions of soldiers and civilians at this time!
This is also consistent with luck. In Song Yu's view, the green energy gathers on his head and also forms a shape.
This green energy is not an ordinary rank. In an official position, it must be a great nobleman. When you go in and out of the car, you will have a canopy on it and your power is extremely powerful.
"It seems that this world's green spirit must be under more than one million people."
Song Yu was talking to himself in his heart.
"My actual position is just a fourth-rank, and my luck is also mixed with golden and green."
"If you want to be lucky, or even... to have a glimpse of the king's career, you must take over the entire territory of Wuzhou!"
Song Yu thought secretly.
Then he said: "This town wants to set up a new recruit camp and recruit soldiers under his jurisdiction. This time, in order to fight in the future, it must recruit 20,000 people!"
Below, Shen Wenbin and Meng Zhu couldn't help but take a breath.
This limit is very large, almost reaching the limit of people's power.
Shen Wenbin left the list and asked: "Lord! Twenty thousand new soldiers, the training consumption is tens of thousands, I'm afraid..."
There are 20,000 people, and the food consumption is calculated based on tens of thousands of stones, but now Song Yujiedu Mansion cannot be taken out.
On the other side, Meng Zhu also frowned. He knew that the lord never made any false statements, racked his brains, thinking about how Song Yu was going to solve the problem.
Song Yu didn't keep it a secret and said, "Should you wait and see this!"
He handed a document to Shen Wenbin and Meng Zhu.
When the two took it, they looked at it and said with no time to think: "This is the Lord of Heaven!"
It turned out that Song Yu showed the two of them a piece of information, and a gold mine was discovered in Linjiang!
This gold mine is located on the border of the river, in a small mountain range. It is almost half open-air and is extremely convenient to mine.
This is a fortune from heaven.
Thinking of this, Song Yu smiled bitterly.
This fortune was not for him, but for the heavens, who prepared Li Rubi, the hidden dragon.
By the way, Fang Ming, as a city god, has worked as a land, and has a sense of earth energy. When he is distracted, he wants to enter the world to compete for dragons. How could he not think about this?
As early as when Song Yu was still a child, Fang Ming secretly inspected the Wunan Mountains, hoping to discover gold or silver ores, and prepare for the future battle for hegemony.
Unfortunately, in Wenchang, Xin'an, I found almost nothing.
Even if I was lucky enough to find a few jade ore and silver ores, it was too far away from people, buried very deeply and had a low content. It would be a waste of money to mine.
You must know that in this world, there are many evil spirits in the deep mountains and old forests.
However, many mineral veins are located in the mountains and rarely visited. If rich mines are found, each time the imperial court needs to take action, launch a large army to suppress ghosts and recruit tens of thousands of civilians to mine smoothly.
Song Yu did not meet these conditions at that time, and even if Fang Ming secretly helped him, he would have to lose money.
Even now, with the power of Song Yu, this cannot be done.
However, the Linjiang gold mine is different. It is not only rich in content, but also not far from the city. It is extremely convenient to mine and transport.
According to Fang Ming's estimate, this content is about 100,000 taels of gold.
Having this is the capital to fight for the world in the future!
Thinking about the mine that comes from Linjiang, it is clearly the capital God gave Li Rubi the starting lineup!
Fortunately, the Li family was not in a stable position and was defeated by Song Yu.
If the Li family temporarily rested and received the help of the gold of the ore veins, then Song Yu would have a huge means, and would have a disaster of overturning!
Shen Wenbin and Meng Zhu also thought of this and said it was Tianyou.
"The town has sent Song Hu to take Yidu to block the mine veins. He also ordered Sun Miao to summon craftsmen and go to mining soon! The gold mine has a very abundant reserve, which is enough to support the army for several years."
Song Yu said with a faint smile that he replaced Qianlong's position, and this gold mine has become his support. In this way, a large gap in early development will be filled.
"This is a great blessing for the lord!" Meng Zhu stepped forward to congratulate the gift, but advised him: "But in troubled times, the price of grain will rise! The lord can send his confidant out of Qinglong Pass to make more preparations..."
When there are floods and droughts, food is expensive and the number of merchants is hoarding, the price of grain continues to rise, and sometimes even reaches a situation where there is a price but no market.
Gold cannot be eaten as food, it is just a pile of dead objects. It must be transformed into strength as soon as possible to be useful.
Unexpectedly, Song Yu just smiled and waved his hand and said, "This batch of gold is intended to be used as military pay or to purchase military equipment, but it is not ready to purchase grain."
"Besides, if you buy it from Qinglong Pass, it will easily reveal traces, but then you will fail..."
After leaving Qinglong Pass, it is not Song Yu's territory. Such a large-scale grain transaction would be strange if it did not attract the attention of other forces. If Song Yu intervenes at that time, it would be beyond the reach of Song Yu.
Shen Wenbin and Meng Zhu looked at each other and said immediately, "The lord must be confident and has good ideas. Please tell me!"
"Haha... I can't hide anything from you!" Song Yu said with a laugh.
Then he looked a little strange and asked, "Wait, can you tell the yield per mu of Anchang?"
Shen Wenbin took the list and said, "I have heard of the humble job. I heard that the people of Anchang are in a strange style. As long as I worship the City God and pray sincerely, I can maintain a bumper harvest in the coming year and increase the yield by nearly 10%!"
"The red scarf under the lord's command is mostly a blessing to the City God Temple!"
What ancient agricultural society paid the most attention to was the land output. How could such a scene in Anchang not cause jealousy to the neighbors?
The Song and Shen families also had investigations before, but at that time, Fang Ming was determined to keep his low profile and did not show his strength.
