Chapter 473 [Wuyue First Mineral Vein]

Young Master Shun was once very frustrated. The captain didn't let him do it, but he asked him to be a mouse drilling into the ground. I don't know what Bai Zi thought. △ He is an expert in tomb robbing, but he is not an expert in mining and vein search. Isn't this kind of work supposed to be done by someone like Ou Yeliang? Ou Yeliang is a world-famous iron smelting swordsman? Is this young master still a noble family, and I really don't want to do such a dark work anymore...

Look at what mountain this is? Stone Mountain! What kind of holes are all dug? Stone Cave! I don’t know how far I went, but I found a relatively soft land, but I have been dug up for seven or eight feet. Where did I see the kind of rock Bai Dong said? The old brothers under my command have long been complaining, and he is almost crazy. Now whenever I can’t hold on, I can only think about Bai Dong’s promise to him, ‘Find the ore I want, and the output will be one for you and these old brothers in the future. In the future, you will have your own sea boat and be the captain! This ship is called the 'Prince Shun'. Go wherever you like to go. In the future, you will be willing to be a robber on the sea. As long as you don’t rob us Chinese, I will pretend that you didn’t see it…”

"I heard it right? You are the Wenzong of the world, the contemporary Baizi, the Count personally named by the emperor, and a famous wealthy man. You... do you actually support me as a robber on the sea? I... I am a nobleman." That day, Gongzishun showed great character and stood up straight in front of Bai Dong.

"Stop talking nonsense with me. You are a dilapidated person. What aristocrat? If you really believe in a noble family, you should follow the etiquette and become a tomb robber? If you can't continue to be a tomb robber, you will run to become a water bandit? But what's the future of being a water bandit? Looking at the sea is what a real man should do! Do it well. As long as I help me find the ore I need, I will never break my promise. I will give you a two-story boat, covered with iron armor, full of food, bows and arrows, and equipped with sailors. With these conditions, you can become the greatest robber on the sea..."

"Bai Zi, are you sure you haven't gone crazy? Pirates can be great?" Gongzi Shun's eyes were straightened. Since he was sensible, he knew that anyone who was involved in the words "thief" and "thief" was the most humble person. Even the old slaves were not as good as those of the old days. Bai Zi actually said that robbers could become great? If Bai Zi didn't go crazy, he must have heard it wrong. This matter was too subversive.

"If you want, that's fine! When the Age of Navigation begins, China will need a pirate king very much. If you want, go and be this king..."

"I don't dare, others don't know, but I know how miserable Pang Juan was being cheated."

"You should keep your eyes open and then take a closer look. Is Pang Juan really miserable now? Now in the Western Regions, he is like a war god. In the days to come, he will also create unprecedented great careers. He has been very satisfied since he came to Qin. Now even if Wei Ying changes his mind, he can't pull him away."

"Isn't it really a cheat?"

"Don't worry, I'm not lying, but to get the best sea boat and my support, first do your part. Jurongshan is handed over to you, don't let me down."

I remember Bai Dong took out a stone piece from his arms and handed it in his hand. This was actually a very ordinary stone piece. You can find it anywhere, just a few steps away. However, on the section of the stone piece, Bai Dong used ink to draw some black lines, as if a dragon and snake were winding, directly into the stone: "Go, look for a place where you can dig this kind of ore in Jurong. If you see this rock under the ground ten feet deep, you will succeed, because it is not an ordinary rock, but your 'Prince Shun' number..."

As a professional tomb robber, Gongzishun and his old brothers could dig a cave enough to accommodate small troops from the cracks of the stone as long as they were willing. As for how big the cave was, it depends on how much he wanted to do. The declining nobleman stimulated by the "Gongzishun" has now fully figured it out. He acted like a model of labor. Under his painstaking management, the cave expanded on all sides and downwards. Under the illumination of torches, he and his skilled team could find the softest soil every time they swung the shovel, and expanded his underground "kingdom" every moment.

Ten feet!

It was ten feet deep, and the young master Shun, who was a little disappointed, suddenly heard a surprise scream: "Ore is the kind of ore we are looking for!"

The young master rushed to the old brother like a madman. At a glance, he saw an ore vein that was bulging out of the surface. It was exposed on some of the stones outside. It was indeed the black stone vein drawn by Bai Dong.

It was successful, and the excavation day and night was dug for more than a month, and countless failures were finally found by them! At this moment, in the eyes of these men covered in mud, these were not stones, but golden red gold and white silver, and the two-story boat "Prince Shun" on the towering sea!

***

Ou Yeliang and Mo Shi looked at Gongzishun, who was protruding from the ground, and they didn't feel a sigh of relief. Is this still a human? They were wrapped in thick linen from head to toe. No matter how they looked, they looked like a monster suddenly popping up from the ground. Finally, the guy's eyes were quite agile, proving that he was a smart creature with a clear mind. He shouted at the two of them: "I am Gongzishun! I found the mine vein that Baizi wanted, and that was my ship..."

What a mess? Ouyang Liang and Mo Xian shook their heads, and at the same time felt a coldness behind their necks. Who is Gongzishun? A former descendant of aristocrats, who had been a ruthless person for tomb robbers and water bandits, but it was such a ruthless person. See what Bai Zi was tortured to? The two of them followed the direction indicated by Bai Dong. There were countless such holes on the road. It can be seen that Gongzishun had not seen the sun of the day several times in more than a month! When he took off the cloth towel used to cover his mouth and nose, his face was pale and like a living dead person.

"Come here, come and bring the wine." Ou Yeliang sighed, took the wine bag from the guard and handed it to the young master. At the same time, he took the ore from the young master, took a few closer glances, and sighed: "What a pure silver mine."

"You can change my big ship!"

Gongzishun was helped by a few old brothers and suddenly felt weak under his feet. He couldn't stand any longer. He simply lay on the ground like a mouse and cheered: "What a big ship. From today on, I will be the captain of the 'Gongzishun'! Let Maqiao be my first mate, hahaha!" The "quirky" title of captain's first mate is naturally derived from Bai Dong's creation. Sailors who received maritime skills training in Yue Kingdom have already been familiar with it.

Ou Yeliang and Mo Xun looked at Gongzishun and shook their heads secretly. This guy was already crazy...

"The command brigade entered Juyu Mountain and raised the Baizi banner. Although this is the territory of the temple district, I would not dare to offend Baizi."

Ou Yeliang and Mo Shi were both energetic. This trip to Juyushan was right. The rumors in the world were indeed true. Follow Bai Zi and you can eat meat!

Juyushan seemed to be full of vitality overnight. In the eyes of Xijun Baizi, the sacred mountain is a treasure land with rich mineral resources. If you put the flag on it, you will be put into your own pocket. This is not that Baizi bullies the weak and bullies Yueguo. The prince Wuzhuan, who represents Yueguo's orthodox prince, will not only not object, but will also strongly support it. Guiwei even wishes to send troops to help. Juyu is now in the sphere of influence of the temple district family. He was just hoping that the temple district would still anger Baizi. At that time, it was not only the 30,000 troops of Qi, but also the richness of the enemy country of the Bai family.

The most rampant and fierce nobles in the Yue Kingdom were completely prepared to pretend to be stupid this time. Even if Wu Zhuan's king flag and the Sanqian Guiwei Army were stationed at the foot of Juyu Mountain, even if the Bai family craftsmen entered the mountainous area under the guidance of the Mo family and the Gongshu family, even if countless gold and silver might be excavated here, he made up his mind to pretend to be dead and swallow it in his stomach. Bai Dong always believed that only those who could tolerate could achieve great things. Si Qu Shang was really a talent. If it weren't for his own students to be King Yue, if it weren't for the deep grudge between the Yue Kingdom and the Monastery family, he would be a little unstoppable. However, all this was just if, it would be fine if Ju Yushan had not discovered the silver mine. Now that it has been discovered, the Bai family would have absolute control. Helping Wu Zhuan Saoping, the biggest opponent, was already a must.

Bai Dong is standing on the hillside, behind him is his military tent, and his black background and white flames are erected in front of the tent. The scenery here is pretty good. Under his feet is a rare wood of the Jurong Mountains, which seems to have absorbed all the beautiful earthly atmosphere of this area. Each of them is surrounded by two people. Gongshun and the craftsmen of the Mo family have already set up a shed nearby and are taking these trees with craftsmen recruited from Qin and Yue. The veins that Gongzishun discovered were indeed very large. According to Ou Yeliang's judgment, he was afraid that it would surpass all known mines of this era! However, if you dig along the veins, the veins will gradually go deeper into the ground, and you have to build wooden frames all the way. Gongshun and Mo family craftsmen have experience in opening coal mines in Lao Qin, which is indeed difficult for them.

In addition to the three thousand Guiwei Army, the Qin elites who came with Bai Dong were also responsible for the safety of the mine veins. They were usually the old army of the Bai family, and half were Yongqi's elite soldiers who had been placed under the command of Xijun. Among them were the Bai family and the soldiers of the Meng family and Xijia. Looking at these elite soldiers armed with iron armor all over their bodies, Tian Yinqi's eyelids twitched and couldn't help asking Bai Dong: "When you leave Qin, you will definitely be able to find such a huge silver mine in Juyu Mountain?"

Even if most of them are on the water route, mobilizing thousands of elite soldiers like this, and countless craftsmen of the Mohist and Gongshuoists are also very expensive. If they are lost, it is nothing to consume some military rations in the Bai family. The craftsmen of the Mohist and Gongshuoists will waste several months in vain. Now the Bai family is building a lot of construction everywhere, and these craftsmen are treasures. Tian Yinqi is just strange. Bai Dong has received any help from the great gods, why is it not unsuccessful for what he wants to do? Silver mines are easy to find? From the Shang Dynasty to now, it has been hundreds of years. There are only a dozen silver mines discovered by the world. It can be seen how difficult it is to find a silver mine. This kid has never been to Yueguo several times. He can find the mine veins by just giving some advice?

Tian Yinqi is a perfect combination of reality and romanticism. He is the greatest monarch in the history of Qi. He is also a brain-dead fan with imagination. In his opinion, there is really a magical person like Laozi and Liezi. There must be a country of immortality on the sea. The way of immortality is only a layer of window paper. If it is pierced, it is next door. If it is pierced, it is thousands of miles away. How old is Bai Zi in front of him? Why can he have all kinds of magical expressions? Is the dream of China really in his dream? Is it because there are gods and men in the dream that he can find the silver mine thousands of miles away by simply moving his fingers?

Thinking of Bai Dongdali's fleet developing and teaching navigation knowledge to the world without any selfishness, Tian Yinqi suddenly felt a hot heart... Qi State must become stronger, but what will happen after being strong? If he cannot be a complete man in his life, if he cannot pursue the immortal path that he has admired for many years, what is the meaning of this life? Now it seems that if someone in this world can find the legendary illusory path, then he must be the Baizi in front of him! This thigh must be held tightly!

"I am not an immortal god, so I can't have this ability, it's just good luck." Bai Dong smiled slightly: "And how I found the silver mine does not matter. What's important is that if you lose, you have to admit defeat if you are willing to bet. When will your 30,000 army enter Yue Kingdom? I calculated that Yue Kingdom has been in chaos for many years, and even the strongest Shiju family has been seriously injured. It is not very difficult for the 30,000 Qi army to destroy Shiju family city within one month."

"The temple area is still too miserable. If anyone is bad, I shouldn't mess with you... Well, I will immediately rectify the army after returning to China. One month? You look down on Qi too much. Half a month is enough. If I have to deal with a doctor from Yue State for a few months, what kind of face do I have? I just hope Bai Zi will not forget your agreement..."

The discovery of the Yue Kingdom silver mine greatly increased Tian Yinqi's confidence in Bai Dong. Once Bai Dong had enough silver in his hands, what would China be like? After all, he is the king of a country, and his perspective on the problem may not be under Xu Gong and Fan Ti. Naturally, he understands how great benefits it will bring once he masters the world's currency. Moreover, Bai Dong promotes the "silver standard". Once all the old silver mines in China are collected by him, the lifeblood of the world's economy will be in the hands of the Bai family and his partners. If Bai Dong can still find a few large silver mines like today, he will become the true ruler of China! So what if you have strong soldiers in Wei State and Chu State? Can you still fight without money? With the emergence of Wei Wuzhang, all countries are following and establishing similar armies. These armies are different from garrison troops. Although the combat effectiveness is amazing, they need to be maintained by the country and sent out their troops...

Bai Dong was not as optimistic as Tian Yinqi. Before the establishment of Xinhua Kingdom, China was still a country dominated by agricultural economy. Although silver and money had an important position, even if you control the wealth of the world, you may not be able to become a true ruler. Before Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, those of the six kingdoms were not as prosperous as the rich and the economy was developed? Should they be destroyed or destroyed! Unifying the world's currency and launching new silver were actually just the first step he took, and he didn't want to be a true ruler. He just hoped that China could break away from the pure agricultural economy as soon as possible, and began to race against the Western world two thousand years ahead of schedule, and he would also win at the starting line!

"Of course I will not forget it, but please don't forget it. After defeating the temple district family, your Qi army will leave Yue. Also, after returning to Qi, treat Ying Shu and his son well. If their mother and his son are not doing well, it will probably affect your cooperation."

"Haha, Bai Zi, don't worry, although I am not a genius like Bai Zi, I will not lose my big deal because of the small. In my eyes, the interests of Qi are above everything else."

"Miaoji, I feel relieved. When the Duke of Qi was Li Yue, Bai should have sent him to see him in person."
