Chapter 155 Made a Fortune!
That black stone can actually be sold for money? And can it help them make money?
He didn't understand the meaning of some of the words the little princess said, but that didn't stop him from thinking.
Many things can't be delved into too deeply, as long as the general meaning is understood.
The little princess is really a kind person, and Niu Er is even more looking forward to it.
Maybe this mountain can really make them make a lot of money.
In fact, ordinary people like them don't have high requirements, and they are lucky to be able to have enough food and warm clothes.
"It's not far, Your Majesty, please be careful, the mountain road is not easy to walk on!"
Niu Er's attitude became more respectful, and King Yi just glanced at him indifferently.
What is this mountain road to him? When he went to the battlefield before, he had walked on roads that were more difficult than this. The one who had
the easiest life here was Yuan Baobao, she didn't even need to walk. Her
two big eyes like black grapes looked around, but it was a pity that everything was withered and yellow, without even a bit of green.
[I didn't expect the disaster here to be so serious! ]
[Fortunately, there is still water in the wells in the city, and everyone has water to drink! ]
Niu Er was also thankful. The old people nearby said that a long time ago, their county had also experienced a great disaster, but at that time, even the wells dried up. There
was only one well left in the whole city that barely had some water.
But how could a city full of people only drink this little water?
The final result was that many, many people died. Most of the people died of thirst, and some died very miserably because of fighting over the wells.
The key point is that people were very thirsty at that time. The people who were beaten to death were bleeding on the ground. Those who were extremely thirsty actually lay on the ground licking their blood.
The scene was quite bloody.
[I hope it will rain as soon as possible today! ]
[Don’t do this again in the future! ]
Yuan Baobao also prayed for the people here.
Niu Er was also praying in his heart.
"Actually, we usually have good weather and good rain, but sometimes there have been floods and occasional droughts. This year's severe one is the first time in my memory!"
Yuan Baobao's eyes turned.
[There have been floods and droughts? ]
[Wait a little later and see if we can build a large reservoir. If there is a large-scale reservoir to store water, can it be effectively alleviated? 】
Prince Yi's expression changed. He had to admit that his daughter's idea was quite tempting.
Niu Er was also very excited. A large reservoir? This would require a lot of money. But if the court planned it, it would not be impossible!
"Prince, look, that's it!"
Niu Er pointed to the mountain not far away. It looked pitch black from the outside, with some yellow stuff on it, which should be dead grass.
"There are some grasses on that mountain, but not much, and no big trees can grow. I heard from my grandfather's grandfather that the soil layer above is too shallow, and the trees can't take root at all!"
Yuan Baobao's eyes brightened.
【Money! So much money! 】
【It's all my own money! Prince Yi
patted her little butt, "Be quiet!"
The little girl was struggling to get down while thinking about the money. She didn't even think about what kind of road was below, nor was she afraid of falling.
"Bad daddy!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yi wanted to just throw the little guy down.
The little guy who didn't know how to be kind.
But who said she was his daughter? She's a little bit hypocritical, so just raise her!
Seeing that the little princess was anxious, Niu Er quickened his pace.
As for Prince Yi and the others, they were even faster, and each of them had martial arts skills. Walking this short mountain road was a piece of cake for them.
Soon, everyone finally reached the bottom of the mountain.
Yuan Baobao struggled to get down again, and this time Prince Yi didn't continue to hold her back.
However, he winked at the secret guards nearby, asking them to pay attention.
"Prince, these stones all fell from the mountain!"
Niu Er explained eagerly.
He also pointed to the exposed mountain on one side: "But this kind is too solid, and it is generally difficult to pick it down."
Prince Yi squatted over and raised his hand to knock.
He stretched out his hand, and Liu Quan hurriedly handed him a sharp dagger.
"It's really hard!"
Yuan Baobao also came over, and now her eyes were full of money.
Niu Er was right. This whole mountain is made of this kind of stone. What we don't know now is, what is under the mountain? If it is the same, then we will make a lot of money!
[Make a fortune! ]
[Such a big mountain, even if the stones under the mountain are not this kind, how much silver can we make from the top of the mountain alone? 】
【Oh, if it weren't for me, this mountain would be wasted! 】
【Even if the emperor doesn't give me this mountain, he has to give me a big reward, otherwise, I won't do it! 】 Prince Yi
picked up a stone and looked at it carefully: "This is not easy to refine, right?"
"Liu Quan, do you know how to refine this kind of stone?"
This is his butler, and he knows a lot of things.
Liu Quan also shook his head. He had never paid attention to it before.
【I know, I know! 】
【But I want to invest in technology, and I won't say anything if I don't get a share! 】
【It's very simple to get the gold out of it! 】
Prince Yi...
just knew that his daughter was a little money-grubber, and she wanted to invest in technology? Do you want a share?
But he really can't make the decision on this matter. He has to wait until he returns to report to the emperor.
Gold, silver and the like are all under the unified control of the court. Even if he is a prince, he cannot keep them all to himself.
Since the concubine said that she could get the gold out, there must be no problem.
Now, everyone in the city is idle and has nothing to do. Everyone is starving and has no farm work to do.
It is just right to organize those people and mine this mountain first.
As for how to transport the stones back, if it were in the past, Prince Yi would have considered it and made a good plan.
The main thing is that this kind of stone can be refined into gold in the future.
It takes a long time to get from here to the capital, and there are many small roads and places that are rarely visited along the way. If some people with ulterior motives take a fancy to it and want to rob it, it is not impossible.
But now it is totally unnecessary, as he has a concubine.
Let his concubine collect all the stones and take them directly to the capital.
Of course, she can also be trained here. But if the emperor does not speak and does not give benefits to the concubine, the little girl will definitely not tell him what to do!
Prince Yi rubbed his eyebrows irritably. It would be better to send a letter to the capital as soon as possible about this matter!
"Let's go back first!"
Having seen the general situation, Prince Yi went back to prepare to report first.
The little girl picked up two stones reluctantly. She wanted to collect everything she could see, but there were many people nearby. Daddy said that she could not tell others about her space.
The little girl was a little unhappy.
However, when they returned to the government office, Prince Yi took her to the prefect's secret room again.
