Chapter 762 "Salt Bid"
"Silver mine?"
Gu Qingcheng said a lot, and Mu Xiu only paid attention to this one point, apart from noticing that Gu Qingcheng's attitude was full of obvious disgust.
His pupils contracted and he stared at Gu Qingcheng: "Ah Qing, there is a silver mine on that island you said?"
How could an outsider like him easily hear this kind of top-secret information that should be kept strictly confidential? Did Aqing still have the slightest bit of caution and vigilance? Silver mine! That's a silver mine! Although the currency in circulation now is not silver, but copper coins.
But this is not because gold and silver are not valuable enough.
On the contrary, it is precisely because gold and silver are too scarce that they are more valuable.
The Celestial Empire lacks silver mines.
What did Ah Qing say? She said that on a small island in the ocean, there was the world's largest silver mine!
This, this... Such a secret should only be kept within the family, passed down orally among the heads of the family.
Not to mention a person from another family, even people from the same clan, who are not direct descendants or heirs, are not allowed to be told.
Ah Qing, but...
"Yes, there are silver mines! And gold mines and copper mines!"
"Even if we keep digging for our entire lives, we may not be able to dig it all out!"
Gu Qingcheng looked towards the sea, his mind filled with information about the Neon Silver Mine.
The world's largest silver mine, accounting for one-third of the world's share.
The most famous silver mine in Neon produced 200 tons of silver every year during its heyday, and dozens of tons every year on normal days, and it has been mined continuously for 400 years! Gu Qingcheng felt that with such a large mine, not only would they be able to afford the military expenses needed for the maintenance of troops and unification, but they would also be able to afford the future projects such as digging the Grand Canal and building the capital.
Mu Xiu: ...
Well, Aqing, this is not the point!
The point is, how could you tell such a big secret to me, a stranger?
Mu Xiu looked a little disheveled.
He knew that Aqing trusted him and regarded him as his confidant.
However, Mu Xiu still didn't expect that A Qing would believe him to such an extent.
Mu Xiu is no longer just "a gentleman dies for his friend", but, but -
"Ah Qing, don't worry, I will follow you and be loyal to you forever!"
This feeling of being valued and trusted is absolutely fatal for someone who has been looked down upon all year round.
Perhaps before, Mu Xiu still had a hint of hesitation deep in his heart and was thinking about making preparations for both scenarios.
But, at this moment, facing Aqing who is so "sincere" and trusts him so much, Mu Xiu will no longer hold back.
Trouble: ...
Attack the heart first!
What a good idea to win the heart!
After being with Gu Qingcheng for so many years, it is no longer just a little idiot.
Its CPU stores a large amount of information about Gu Qingcheng's language, behavior, etc.
Through the aggregation and analysis of these data, we have gained a certain understanding of Huoshui as a high-end AI.
It may not be able to simulate or infer Gu Qingcheng's behavior, but it can still get a glimpse of it.
The source of the trouble was extremely certain. The reason why Gu Qingcheng was so frank with Mu Xiu was not because she truly trusted him, but because she wanted to take advantage of him.
Come to think of it, even if Mu Xiu knew there was a silver mine on a certain island, what would it matter? Did he have a specific sea chart?
Did he have a treasure ship that could ride the wind and waves and sail deep into the sea? Did he have enough strong and skilled soldiers who were familiar with water? You have to know that at this time, Neon already had indigenous people.
Although those people are similar to the savages, bah, they are not as good as the savages. At least in terms of physique, they cannot be compared with the savages.
They were short and small, holding primitive tools, and were little better than monkeys.
However, no matter how "primitive" they are, they are not real monkeys and they still have a certain fighting ability.
If we don't have sufficient military force, even if we travel across the ocean to the island, we may not be able to successfully seize the silver mine.
But sea charts, treasure ships, soldiers, weapons, food, medicinal materials... Mu Xiu has none of them, but Gu Qingcheng has them all!
Therefore, even if Mu Xiu knew the news about the silver mine, he could not get the silver.
Gu Qingcheng, on the other hand, was able to completely capture Mu Xiu's heart with this "flashy" news! Just after returning from the beach, Mu Xiu had a "full oyster feast" in the main courtyard of Gu's Wubao. Mu Xiu didn't care about savoring the grilled oysters, oyster vermicelli, garlic oysters, oyster porridge and other delicacies, and rushed to work like a slave for Gu Qingcheng.
Oh no, Mu Xiu is going to start a business! He wished he could be several people, not only continuing to manage Gu's various businesses, but also responsible for expanding the dock and building the lighthouse.
Even the treasure ship project in cooperation with Huang's Shipyard was given to Mu Xiu by Gu Qingcheng! Mu Xiu: ...Aqing treats me as a national hero, I will never refuse even if I die!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It's just a little tiring. When he was in the Northern Dynasty, he worked like a slave for the Mu family.
However, the Mu family could not even treat them equally, let alone respect them.
Ah Qingque is different. In her heart, I am no longer an equal "peer", but a confidant whom she trusts and relies on! Therefore, even if he is more tired, so tired that he doesn't even have time to sleep or eat, he is happy with it.
What's more, he was not passively exploited, but was extremely active and proactive in helping Gu Qingcheng solve her problems.
"…Is this 'Shiobiki'?"
Gu Qingcheng adheres to the principle of "trust people when employing them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them", and she said she would hand over the property to Mu Xiu, but she really left it alone.
She didn't even send a "supervisor", the main focus was on "trust".
Mu Xiu: ... He had already said so many touching words that he was too lazy to say any more.
He will only prove himself through actual actions.
A Qing trusts him and will not ask or interfere, but he will take the initiative to report to Gu Qingcheng.
With the arrival of hurricane season, strong winds blew at the seaside, and the treasure ship had to take shelter in the harbor.
Maritime transport was forced to stop.
However, the war on the river bank was still intense, and Chen Duan's tens of thousands of troops also needed food and other logistical supplies.
The imperial court will definitely not transfer the funds, and Chen Duan’s greatest reliance is Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
I have food and fodder, but transportation is a problem.
Guangcheng is relatively better, but Luozhou, Yuezhou and other places are all located south of the Five Ridges.
The sea route is blocked and there is almost no land route. We have food but it cannot be transported in time.
Gu Qingcheng regards Chen Duan as the "vanguard general" who is building her own empire, but she will never really show the intention of "using" him.
The most important thing is to win the heart, and the main point is "sincerity".
The way Gu Qingcheng treats Chen Duan, anyone who sees her will have to praise her for being sincere and virtuous! Chen Duan is not stupid, even if he is stupid, he still has staff and counselors around him.
If Gu Qingcheng showed even the slightest falsehood, she would not be able to gain the trust of Chen Duan and everyone in Prince Liang's Mansion.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng really, really, really stood in the position of the future Princess Liang, and devoted all her efforts to planning for Chen Duan.
As Mu Xiu, who has already been "conquered" by Gu Qingcheng, will naturally give her full support to the things that Gu Qingcheng cares about.
In order to solve the food problem, Mu Xiu, as a top profiteer, came up with an excellent solution...
