Chapter 540 Reminder from Tang Mo
As soon as the word "silver mine" was uttered, the eyes of those present lit up. They had a lot of everything except gold and silver mines. Some were discovered over the years, but they were not considered big mines.
Xin Chang continued, "There are also mines that produce gemstones. It is said that there are also gold mines. When the sun shines on the rocks, you can see tiny pieces of gold. But they can't protect them. The neighboring tribes are already fighting for them."
Eunuch Zhao stepped forward, took the silver ore from the envoy and presented it to the emperor, who narrowed his eyes slightly.
If we have mines, then that’s easy.
The emperor felt like he was just sleeping and had a pillow.
One moment I was thinking about how to make the country rich, and the next moment someone was crying and shouting to give me gold and silver mines. If it weren't for my years of self-control, I would have almost laughed out loud.
But I also feel that this is too unrealistic. How could such a good thing happen? The court officials who had calmed down were also thinking about this problem. There was nothing they could do. They had to think more about unexpected fortunes.
The emperor raised his hand, and Tang Gang stepped forward to lead the Xin father and son and the envoys out of the hall. The emperor and his ministers inside wanted to discuss the matter.
While the discussion inside was lively, the envoys outside the hall looked at the Xin father and son, and spoke to them in low voices, strongly expressing their desire to curry favor with them. They also wanted to give benefits to the father and son, hoping that they could persuade the great Emperor to agree to their request.
The father and son's lips twitched slightly. Did they convince the emperor?
Hehe~ This wait lasted for half an hour. Tang Gang came out and sighed for a while. He told the envoy that the great emperor of our dynasty was very sad to hear about your plight and wanted to help you, but to help you, I would have to build a large ship and deploy the mighty heavenly army, which would cost a lot and be laborious. "I'm afraid I can't help you."
Xin Chang translated truthfully, but the envoy didn't understand what he meant. Tang Gang winked at Xin Chang and told him that in negotiations, it was natural to squeeze all the oil out of the other party at once.
Xin Chang, who often does business, had no idea what was going on. He pulled the envoy aside and chattered for a while. The envoy finally understood and bowed to Tang Gang. He took off several large gold rings on his wrists and stuffed them into Tang Gang's arms. Then he chattered again. Tang Gang: "The emperor said in person that he wants you to be interpreters for the court? He also wants you to go to sea with him to check the mineral veins in Nanluo in half a month?"
The first thing the Xin father and son did after leaving the palace was to look for Xin An. The court officials felt that the mineral vein falling from the sky was unreal, and they also felt that the sudden mission was unreal?
"It's like a dream. I still can't believe it."
Xin Chang pinched his thigh hard, grimacing in pain. Xin An laughed out loud, "The opportunity has come and it cannot be stopped. So, how about we go together or just one person?"
Xin Chang wanted to ask her opinion, Xin An thought for a moment, "Let's go together, we still have to go out to sea, and we don't know what Nan Luo's situation is, it will be easier to take care of him with more people, so bring more people with you."
"If there is any business that is suitable for our Xin family, we can arrange it."
Xin An told them that they didn't need to think about making money all the time. Opportunities were rare, so the most important thing was to do the job. "Tell me about the situation in Kyoto City. With Manager Fang here, nothing will go wrong."
Xin Chang said that he also meant that, "Your second aunt has two younger sisters who can also help. Your second aunt knows everything about business."
"We need to prepare some manpower, and the court will also send troops to go with us, so safety shouldn't be a big problem."
He already had a plan in mind, so Xin An stopped worrying about it. "I was thinking that if there really is a gold and silver mine, and if it is not small, the court will rush to mine it, and you guys won't be back too soon."
Some things have to be thought of in advance, and we can't wait for the people above to arrange them. "I think we should still invite a retainer, so that we can think more about Second Uncle. There is nothing much to say about the job, but what about outside the job?"
"No matter how big or small the job is, there is a lot of knowledge in it."
Xin Chang thought this was a good idea. He was good at business, but how could he understand anything else? "I'll have to trouble you to help me with this matter. I'll come again tomorrow and we'll discuss some things. Also, do you think it would be better for the Marquis to give him some rare items or some silver bills?"
Today, Tang Gang has already indirectly reminded both father and son.
Xin An smiled and said, "Give them all. My father-in-law values fame over profit. It would be best if Second Uncle came to visit with the gifts tonight. I must thank him and express my determination to follow him."
“The things don’t need to be too many or too expensive. Tell him that I will do good deeds in his name to make him famous.”
Xin Chang laughed. Tang Gang's thoughts were completely understood by her niece.
When Tang Mo came back in the evening and learned about this, he was also happy for the Xin family, but he suggested that Xin An should not plan anything for the Xin family for the time being. "Brother Huan is still helping Prince Jin with charity fundraising, and his future is still uncertain. Now that Second Uncle is going to Nanluo, the benefits brought by these two parties are enough to keep the Xin family busy for a long time. Taking too big a step is not a good thing."
It is difficult for a family to gather strength if it is torn apart.
Xin An was stunned. Her family treated her well, and she always hoped that her family could be better. When she encountered a good opportunity, she subconsciously wanted to fight for it, but she forgot that too much is as bad as too little. "Thank you for reminding me."
Tang Mo smiled and said, "Just don't mind me being nosy."
"Am I such an ungrateful person?"
Xin An asked him, "Do you want to promote a few people from the clan without your father's permission?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tang Mo sat next to her. "No need. The people in the clan follow the Marquis's lead, and the old man won't allow it. I don't need them to do anything."
He doesn't want to get involved with people from his clan right now, mainly because people from his clan don't think highly of him.
"How was your day? Did your child listen to you?"
He smiled and leaned forward to touch Xin An's belly, "Did they kick you? Do you need me to teach them a lesson?"
"How do you teach me a lesson? Pat my belly? Please don't do that."
Xin An raised her hand to cover the back of his hand and looked at him sadly, "I really wish I could give birth tomorrow. It's too difficult."
I still remember that in my previous life, I had to take care of many things when I was pregnant, and it seemed that I didn’t feel that pregnancy was that difficult. Now that life is better, I have become much more pampered.
Tang Mo put his ear to her belly and mumbled something. Xin An smiled and said he wanted to teach her a lesson, but in fact he was just promising her benefits.
The weather was getting colder day by day, but the huge capital city was bustling with new excitement every day. The busiest day was the day when Pingshun Bo and others were executed in the prison. It is said that when the prison van came out of the prison that day, rotten vegetable leaves were flying all over the sky, and shouts and curses followed all the way. The sun was particularly bright when the execution was carried out, and the officials supervising the execution looked particularly solemn.
Pingshun Bo is dead, but the evidence he left behind is in the hands of the emperor. Who knows if the emperor will wait for the right time to deal with them?
By the beginning of October, the weather had turned completely cool, chrysanthemums could be seen everywhere, teahouses and taverns were still as busy as usual, and people with nothing to do could always find fascinating topics to talk about.
It was a day off today, and Zhao Tong sat in his usual seat on time, with a pot of hot tea and a plate of salted beans. As a member of the Censorate, his duty was to supervise all officials. A teahouse was indeed a good place, with a lot of good and bad news.
Several people dressed as businessmen entered the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of fennel beans, and lamented the bustle of the capital. (End of this chapter)
