Chapter 183 Good fortune comes with gold

Sun Fu actually didn't have to get money, but he was just angry that Zhao Jin could not exchange his promise. Now seeing Zhao Jin as a prince was so humble to him, he had enough face and face. Sun Fu snorted coldly, "I will go down like this, I just hope that the prince will not let the students wait too long!"

Looking at Sun Fu's back as he left, Zhao Qian couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Money! Where does this money come from?

At this moment, Zhao Jin could hardly help but take money from the treasury to build the Jixia Academy, but this matter is not better than winning the hearts of the people. Currently, there are more than 1,200 orphan students in Jixia Academy, plus those big families. If the Jixia Academy was built by Zhao Jin, these people would not have printed Zhao Jin's mark? Ten or eight Jinshis and dozens of Juren are enough to form their own schools, which makes people dare not underestimate them!

Will Song Renzong not be able to see it? Even if he can’t see it, Lu Yijian will use clever language art to remind Song Renzong. This pacifier’s life is not easy!

"Prince! I'm so happy!" Qian Yanyuan ran in from outside with an excited look on his face.

Zhao Qian was in a bad mood. After hearing Qian Yanyuan's words, he said that Qian Yanyuan teased himself and angrily said, "How is it so good to shout loudly in the yamen?"

Qian Yanyuan couldn't help but feel depressed. What happened to the prince today? I heard that women have that. Does men have this one? Although I was puzzled, Qian Yanyuan still wisely pushed it out the door and honestly reported: "Central Secretary Qian Yanyuan asked for a visit to the supplication envoy!"

"Come in!" Zhao Qian sat behind several cases with anger and said in a bad tone.

"Prince, a gold mine has been found in Luofeng Town!" Although Qian Yanyuan was scolded by Zhao Qian before, he was not in a good mood, when he said this, his happy tone was very leaping into his ears.

"What! Really?" Zhao Qian stood up suddenly, and I'm sorry! I won't be so good, right? If this one wants money, then the other one finds gold mines?

"It's the real prince! How dare the servant use this matter to make fun of you? The mining exploration craftsman said, "The gold mine is less than 1.6 million taels of gold!" Qian Yanyuan said excitedly.

One million taels of gold? The price of gold is very high now. One liang of gold can be exchanged for 18 guan official coins! What is the concept of 1.6 million taels of gold? Two thousand eight hundred million coins!

Because of the disaster this year, the tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty has dropped sharply. This year, no other materials, such as wine, is not counted, just cash, only four million guan! There are 800 to 9 million guan in the past year. According to the nine million guan, the gold is dug out, which is equivalent to the tax revenue of three to two years!

Of course, the calculation is not such a simple calculation. Gold mining requires manual labor to prevent miners from stealing, nearby bandits peeping, and soldiers need to be sent to guard and supervise. At the same time, refining gold requires ore dressing, building a mine furnace, cutting wood as fuel, and there will be a considerable amount of gold gasification, transportation costs, etc. During the purification process, it is impossible for the actual money to get one million and six million taels of gold.

Even so, it is not a problem with the total income of the Song Dynasty in two years!

"You immediately pick up your pen to write the memorial! By the way, how did you find that gold?" Zhao Qian had just ordered, and immediately remembered the passing, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Qian Yanyuan looked lucky and said, "According to the reports of the craftsmen, some stones fell and blocked the road because the snow water melted. They exploded with gunpowder. They didn't want to put too much gunpowder, and they killed three workers and also exploded a large pit about a meter deep. Unexpectedly, there were mineral veins below, and golden particles were scattered in the pit."

Speaking of this, Qian Yanyuan slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to give you the sample to the prince!"

As he said that, Qian Yanyuan took out a small cloth bag from his arms and carefully opened it, revealing seven or eight gold particles of different sizes. The large gold particles were as big as nails of the tail finger, and the small ones were only as big as three or four small ants. However, each one was quite purity and could be put on the market after a little refining.

"Please give someone a sandalwood box to put it on and give it to the prince! You can just write the memorial now and write it truthfully!" Zhao Qian said carelessly while packing up the gold particles.

"No!" I didn't expect that at this moment, there would be a voice of objection outside.

Zhao Qian was naturally upset and turned his head to look over. Seeing that it was Gongsun Xuanxu. Zhao Qian then suppressed his anger. If it were someone else, Zhao Qian would have been scolded by him. "What are you talking about sir?"

Gongsun Xuanxu stepped forward and explained: "I heard the news about the gold mine just now and rushed over. After hearing some, I heard that the prince said it was written on the memorial truthfully, but that's the case?"

"Yes! So what's wrong?" Zhao Qian said disapprovingly.

Gongsun Xuanxu stroked his beard and said, "How come I heard that a golden dragon hovered in the sky, and a thunderbolt fell down and the gold mine appeared?"

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but bow to Gongsun Xuanxu and said, "It's still the old man in this matter! I can make more demands from the official family in this way!"

Qian Yanyuan couldn't help asking, "Prince, this is not enough to write Ruixiang, why is this so?"

Gongsun Xuanxu explained: "There is a disaster when the government is in the new rank of government. Doesn't God think that the government is at fault? Otherwise, why would the government drive away all the old ministers who supported him in just half a month and use Lu Tanfu and others? The government heard that it was almost a crime edict! Now that auspiciousness appears and God gives gold mines, wouldn't it be like God treating the government? Can the government be unhappy?"

Qian Yanyuan has to admit that Gongsun Xuanxu is much more experienced in grasping the pulse of the officialdom than when he first came to Zhao Jin as an aide! He is indeed immature in this matter! I am not as good as that!

Zhao Qian couldn't help but nodded in his heart. An ordinary sentence immediately caused a drastic change!

However, in this mythical description, Qian Yanyuan's literary talent does not need Gongsun Xuanxu, who was a Taoist master. In fact, Gongsun Xuanxu is now pretending to be a charlatan and becoming an official. He never calls himself a rank in front of Zhao Jin, but speaks poorly and keeps silent.

The last memorial was solved by Qian Yanyuan and Gongsun Xuanxu. Qian Yanyuan wrote the beginning and end, and the end of the gold mine was found in the middle, and the passage of complimenting Song Renzong were all written by Gongsun Xuanxu. He is worthy of being a professional charlatan, and the horses are snapped, but they do not give people any sense of being tired of it.
