Needless to say, the preciousness of maritime resources.

But there are two disadvantages. With the current smelting technology, it is quite difficult to extract the vein gold and the companion mines separately, and it will cause a lot of waste and complicated procedures. Of course, it is much better than slowly crawling in the river sand, and the vein gold is saved large, even for small vein gold mines, they are gathered together.

In addition, urinary gold mines are mostly accompanied by uranium, thorium, potassium, and radon, which are highly radioactive elements, and are often very high in content.

However, this is also easy to solve, allowing miners to wear masks and gloves, and adopt the method of taking turns to reduce the mining time of each miner.

But it doesn't mean that Zhang Quanzhi will go back soon.

After finally coming to Beijing, Wang Ju also lacked helpers. There are many talents in Beijing who can serve as customers, but not many people can be trusted.

You can send someone to notify you. With the last ship, the other side will receive various precautions in a few months.

Wang Ju thought of another kind of mineral deposit.

The mineral resources on the other side are rich, just like Luzon Island, which has a large amount of copper ore, and there are more mineral resources on the Australian continent. But now it is still mainly gold, silver, copper, iron and tin.

There are also various jade ores.

The narrow jade in China's jade ore is Khotan jade, and the broad meaning includes Nanyang jade, Xiuyan jade, agate, crystal, etc., and jade, but now jade is still hidden in Tengchong Mansion and no one recognizes it. Finally, there are various gems, pearls, and pearls are not the pearls that were later artificially bred, but real sea pearls. Gems include all-encompassing, red sapphires, night pearls, emeralds, etc. If divided by the material color of the origin, thousands of kinds can be divided into.

However, the latter is not produced in China, and most of them are imported products from overseas.

The other side has a rich mineral deposit, especially a novel gem Opal. Wang Ju was worried that the Song people would not accept it, but the facts were better than he expected. As long as the color was pure and bright, they could be sold at a good price.

This is also a major source of income on the other side.

However, after receiving the news of bribery gold, Wang Ju thought of a very brightly colored ore. That is uranium ore. This ore is not only bright in color and colorful, but also has various beautiful figures. What’s so bad is that the reserves of this ore on the other side account for more than two-fifths of the world, and many are shallow ore!

If you encounter this kind of mineral, craftsmen will definitely think it is a novel jade, then mine it and then process it carefully...

Well, everyone will be sad.

Therefore, Wang Ju used pen and paper to write down this dangerous mineral form and also drew some appearances. Maybe it wouldn't be touched, but that's best. What if it touched?

Don't mess with them...

This is just a small note. It is indeed very dangerous, but compared with copper and iron resources, and even gold and silver resources, the storage capacity is too small, and the chance of encountering it is even slim.

So after Wang Ju finished writing, he began to ponder how to use this good news.

The second day king continued to be on duty.

It was very comfortable to be a Beijing official in the Song Dynasty. In addition to attending court, you must enter the court hall at 5:00 am (equivalent to six:00 am). Then you must leave at home at 5:00, wash and change clothes, and then arrive at the waiting-out courtyard waiting for the eunuch to pass the order.

However, the morning court only takes several days every few days. When on duty, it will leave home only when it is bright and it will be paid early in the afternoon. Moreover, there are many holidays in the Song Dynasty. If you are uncomfortable or have something to do at home, it is convenient to take leave. Therefore, the actual working hours of officials are often only four or five hours a day. In these four or five hours, half of the time they are chatting and drinking tea.

On that day, Wang Ju "stole" a lazy person, and handled the matters early, and said to Lao Wang and the other two: "My husband, there is something else in my family."

Lao Wang said, "If there is anything, go back."

So Wang Ju almost had lunch and then paid the price.

But Wang Ju did not go back, but came to Zhao Niannu's mansion.

"Zi'an, why are you here?" Zhao Niannu was surprised and happy. He was naturally very happy when he came. However, Wang Ju, as the Minister of the Secretariat, ran to a widow princess's house. This is very bad...

"Come and sit down."

"Then let's sit down, beloved, make tea for Wang Xianggong."

My lover went down to prepare tea.

"Wang Ju, it just so happens that I want to say something."

"What's the matter?"

"The official asked me to find out how many ships you have in your hands."

"Ah, how did you answer?"

"I didn't refuse, nor did I agree."

"Your Highness, if your Majesty asks again next time, you will say there are about a hundred ships."

"good."

"Actually, the government is really thinking too much. If it is on land or transportation conditions, the court can still manage it. But so far overseas... how can the court govern it?"

This is really my true words. If you really want to hand it over to the court, it may be ruined. Besides, Wang Ju intends to promote another system. If it succeeds, it will be the best mirror in the Central Plains. However, it is impossible to promote this system in the Song Dynasty, even if Wang Ju becomes the emperor, many conservative ideas and relationships are deeply rooted.

In this way, it is better to let go and then the two will work together and benefit each other.

But can Wang Ju say these words?

Zhao Niannu didn't think much about it and said, "Wang Ju, you have promised this princess..."

"You really want to go?"

"I want to see it."

"Your Highness, wait a little longer. If you are really willing to give up the prosperity of the capital, then go and take a look. In fact, some areas on the other side have developed well, and some real small towns have begun to appear. Some small towns have almost reached more than a thousand households. However, I came today because I asked for something, and I would like to ask Your Highness to invite the official family to discuss something."

In fact, it is not impossible for Wang Ju to ask for a direct meeting. There are two reasons why Zhao Niannu asked to speak out.

I just have an ambiguous relationship with your aunt, so what about you?

But there is really not much problem, Zhao Xu had known it a long time ago. Besides, people have seven emotions and six desires, so Zhao Niannu is not a saint.

So when Zhao Xu came to Zhao Niannu's mansion, he saw a hint of flushing on his aunt's face, and he didn't know what to say.

Secondly, Zhao Xu has a somewhat suspicious personality.

So later, the attack on Xia and let Gao Zunyu be the head coach. Zhao Xu really didn't know the talents of the generals in the northwest? Even without Wang Ju's promotion, the wars of Song Xia over the years and Wang Shao's management of Xihe. Many generals had already fought.

There was also the later dispute between Xu Zong, why did Xu Xi gain the upper hand? One was a civil servant, and the other was that Xu Xi was one of Zhao Xu's confidant ministers.

OK, we are also related.

Also, some things are easier to say when it is at Zhao Niannu's home. At least they are not as solemn as in the palace.

Finally, it is for the arrangements for next year, but it also depends on it. If Zhao Xu can truly trust him 100% and give him rights, there is no need to implement his plan.

Zhao Xu was still suspicious, and Zhao Niannu said shyly: "Official family, Wang Xianggong, you are talking, I have stepped down."

"Wang Ju, you...!"

"Your Majesty. I ask Your Majesty to come. This is an important matter." Wang Ju immediately told the story of the vein gold mine.

As soon as he heard so much gold, Zhao Xu was immediately distracted.

"I should have sent officials to settle in long ago." Zhao Xu said regretfully.

"Your Majesty, then I will lead the navy south at this time."

"navy?"

"How to get to the other side without a fleet loading a large army."

Zhao Xu was stupid. Didn’t he reach the other side of Liaodong from Dengzhou, only a few hundred miles away, and the wind came when the wind blew. He used a fleet to carry a large army to attack such a distant other side?

“Why?”

"Your Majesty, why can't you implement the equitable business tax? Why don't all the powerful people truthfully report their hidden fields? The nature is the same. Besides, it's the distant other side, where everything is developed by those maritime merchants and the people. Unlike our dynasty, it is a country that the ancestors have built. If it is just because a gold mine is discovered, the court will take it back. Those maritime merchants are willing to expel officials and soldiers, and the court will inevitably send officers and soldiers to suppress it. However, except for ministers, who has the ability to reach the other side of more than 10,000 miles?"

"Where are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold a year?"

Wang Ju did not talk about the specific storage volume. Besides, with current measurement technology, the data obtained is also very unstable. The storage volume may be only a few hundred thousand taels in the end, and may be a few million taels in the end. Therefore, he only said that about 200,000 taels of gold may be produced in a year.

But if it is broken into a pen, it will be more than 5 million pens. Even if the smelting and transportation costs are abandoned, it may exceed the income of Qingmiao Loan. How could Zhao Xu not be moved?

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be tempted by it. In fact, there are two ways in my opinion. One is to exchange them with our court's commercial goods. A process of exchange, various commercial taxes, and the withdrawal of the Maritime Bureau are actually equivalent to the court recovering one-fifth of the profits. However, what the court paid was only the investigation of some clerks and the hard work of officials. Second, the court can relax the migration of the people. What the other side lacks the most now is the population. I believe that after they get this news, they will definitely donate a batch of gold. As long as these two measures are implemented, I believe that most of the gold will be included in the treasury by Your Majesty."

And it won't take long.

This time, Wang Ju suggested that officials from all prefectures and counties will thoroughly investigate the number of households in the country. At most, the court will know how many people in the country and how many poor people are.

I believe that the total number of households after this concession will surprise all officials.

When the real population increases so quickly, everyone is not under pressure? Besides, Wang Ju repeatedly talks about its harm.

In addition, there is another data that has been checked by various prefectures and counties, which is the price indexes in various places and the output of various commercial goods.

Wang Ju and Li Chengzhi jointly listed more than 200 prices related to people's livelihood, and then asked officials from various prefectures and counties to send clerks to verify the fluctuations of these prices in recent years.

With these data, the legal allocation and purchase of each prefecture and county can be completely rectified, and it will also help the reasonable adjustments of each transshipment department. If the court really agrees to reset the Southern 12th Road Shipping Department, then it will be even better with these data.

It is also conducive to rectifying ministerial money.

A simple example is like Su Dongpo from Huangzhou to Ruzhou to take office.

There are two routes, one is to go directly to Ruzhou from land, then hand over to Ruzhou officials, and Ruzhou governor. The other is the route he chose, from the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal, then from the Bian River to return to the capital, and then to Ruzhou.

When officials exchanged, the court allocated ministerial money, but how far could it be to Ruzhou from land? And Su Dongpo was guilty at that time, so how much ministerial money could he allocate.

However, because Su Dongpo might want to be comfortable, or Su Dongpo wanted to return to the capital to be familiar with him, but because he didn't know the price index, he chose the water route. He had to hire a boat on this route. Not to mention hiring a boat, he had to eat and drink on the road. In addition, he had no savings in his hands, so he almost used the money halfway through the road. In addition, the cold weather was cold and the whole family was cold and hungry, and his son died of illness. He had to let the boat stop and write to the court for help.

In fact, Da Su had another chance. Liu Shiyan, the prefect of Sizhou, admired Da Su's talent very much. He heard that Da Su came and was entertained by good wine and vegetable fields, and took Da Su around to play. Then the two came to Sizhou City to the Huaihe floating bridge between Duliang Mountain. Da Su wrote a poem with great enthusiasm:

Looking north at the plains, wild waters and deserted bays, we look for spring together, and we are flying and we are weak.

The gentle wind blew the sleeves, and the fragrance fog lingered at the maid. When the wine was drunk, people were laughing, among the white clouds.

The flying geese are shining, and the picture is about to return. The light and the jade is leisurely.

Who is fine? Sitting on the empty mountain. Looking at the long bridge, the lights are chaotic, and the messenger returns.

Taishou Liu was shocked after seeing it.

Because this floating bridge is not allowed to pass casually, for the sake of city defense and safety, if the people cross the bridge at night, they will be fined two years of hard labor. However, the Jianghuai period has been in peace for a long time, and Liu Shiyan does not want to disturb the people, so he turned a blind eye to the people crossing the floating bridge at night.

However, the word Da Su was heard, which was Liu Taishou's dereliction of duty.

The more Liu Shiyan thought about it, the more right he was. Needless to say, Da Su's talent, look at how well this poem is written. However, he really cheated his friend with his mouth. So he had a treat and immediately sent Da Suda away.

If this poem was not available, with Liu Shiyan's admiration for him, he would have a little help, how much tragedy of losing his son in a few days?

Of course, as a bold and romantic talent, you will not be too petty about spending and can understand it.

But if this statistics were obtained, then Dasu would see the expenses of two roads, and would he continue to choose to take the water route?

So some people think it’s troublesome, and Wang Ju said, “Without investigation, there is no right to speak! (To be continued.)
