"Silver mine?"
Gu Qingcheng said a lot, and Mu Xiu only paid attention to this one point, apart from noticing the obvious disgust in Gu Qingcheng's attitude.
His pupils contracted and he stared at Gu Qingcheng intently: "Aqing, you said there is a silver mine on that island?"
Could an outsider like him easily hear this top-secret information that should be kept strictly confidential?
Does Aqing still have the slightest bit of caution and vigilance?
Silver mine!
That's a silver mine!
Although the currency in circulation at present 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 so scarce that they are more valuable.
The Celestial Empire is short of silver mines.
And what did Aqing say?
She said that there was the world's largest silver mine on a small island in the ocean!
This, this... Such a secret should only be kept within the family and passed on orally among the heads of the family.
Not to mention someone 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, her mind full of 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 per year in its heyday, and dozens of tons on ordinary days. It has been mined continuously for 400 years!
Gu Qingcheng felt that owning such a large mine would not only provide the military expenses needed for maintaining the army and unification, but would also provide the Celestial Empire with money for 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 Aqing would believe him to such an extent.
Mu Xiu is no longer just "a scholar will die for his friend", but, but -
"Aqing, 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 for years.
Perhaps before this, Mu Xiu still had a hint of hesitation deep in her heart, and wanted to make 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.
Troublemaker: ...
Attack the heart first!
What a good way to win the hearts of the people!
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 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 really trusted him, but because she had the intention of taking advantage of him.
Come to think of it, even if Mu Xiu knew that there was a silver mine on a certain island, what would it matter?
Does he have a specific sea chart?
Does he have a treasure ship that can ride the wind and waves and sail deep in the sea?
Does he have enough strong soldiers who are familiar with water?
You have to know that at this time, Neon already had its own native inhabitants.
Although those people are similar to savages, bah, they are not as good as savages. At least in terms of physique, they cannot be compared with savages.
They were short and small, and with primitive tools, they were only slightly better than monkeys.
However, no matter how "primitive" they are, they are not real monkeys and they still have certain fighting capabilities.
If we don't have enough military force, we may not be able to successfully seize the silver mine even if we travel across the ocean to the island.
But sea charts, treasure ships, soldiers, weapons, food, medicinal herbs... Mu Xiu doesn't have them, but Gu Qingcheng has them all!
Therefore, even if Mu Xiu knew about the silver mine, he could not get the silver.
Gu Qingcheng, on the other hand, was able to use this "flashy but impractical" news to completely capture Mu Xiu's heart!
Just after returning from the beach, Mu Xiu had an "oyster feast" in the main courtyard of Gu's Wu Castle. Without even bothering to savor the grilled oysters, oyster vermicelli, garlic oysters, oyster porridge and other delicacies, she rushed to work like a slave for Gu Qingcheng.
Oh no, Mu Xiu is going to pursue her career!
He wished he could split himself into several people, not only continuing to manage Gu's various businesses, but also being responsible for the projects of expanding the dock and building a lighthouse.
Even the treasure ship project in cooperation with Huang's Shipyard was given to Mu Xiu by Gu Qingcheng!
Mu Xiu: ...Aqing, you treat me as a national hero, I will never refuse even if it means death!
It's just a little tiring. Back 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.
Aqing is different. In her heart, I am no longer an equal "peer", but a confidant whom she trusts and relies on!
So, even if he was even more tired, so tired that he didn't even have time to sleep or eat, he was still happy to do 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 you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them". She said she would hand over the property to Mu Xiu, but she really left it alone.
