The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 916 This is a surprise
Mo Wen happily said: "A silver mine was indeed discovered in Lianhua Mountain! There is also a cave for smelting silver."

"En," Dongming Ziyu replied lightly, which was expected.

Mo Wen was a little disappointed and said: "But our people discovered it together with the border guards."

This shows that silver mines cannot be taken for themselves, at least they must share a share with the border guards.

Dongming Ziyu thought of this when he asked the border guards for support.

All his private soldiers have gone to defend Yuan City, and if they want to use other people's soldiers, they have to pay a price.

Of course, he also considered that the Sun family would not just ignore his monopoly of the silver mine, and would definitely provoke the emperor, so he gave up the idea of ​​monopolizing the silver mine.

Of course, Dongming Ziyu would not give anyone a chance to criticize him, saying: "Count the smelted silver, give half to the border guards, and move the rest back to the palace. In addition, send people to guard the silver mine and report it to the court."

Even if you report to the emperor, the silver mine is on his territory, and the mining and management must be entrusted to him.

That little silver should be rewarded for discovering the silver mine and reporting it to the imperial court.

Even if the emperor knew that there was such a problem, he would turn a blind eye to it. After all, the mining was entrusted to him, and he wanted to play tricks, so the money was nothing.

If it is handed over to other officials, on his territory, can the officials not respect him?
Of course, the emperor will also send people to manage and supervise the silver mines, and will also let people survey the silver mines, estimate the output, and hand it over to the treasury in proportion.

Mo Wen asked again: "What about the private soldiers who dig and smelt silver mines?"

If the prince wanted to take the silver mine as his own, those people would simply silence them, but now it is difficult.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Take care of them first, and wait for the emperor's imperial decree and people from the court to come down."

At that time, they will go home if they want to go home, and those who are willing to stay and work will be paid.

"Yes!" After Mo Wen finished speaking, he went to deliver Dongming Ziyu's order.

Shangguan Ruoli took the cloth towel from Dongming Ziyu's hand and wiped his hair, with a playful look in his eyes, "Isn't it heartbreaking that the silver mine was not found?"

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes, enjoyed her service, and responded lightly: "En."

Who doesn't like silver?Although he is not short of money, he still spends money like running water every day.

Besides, what is better than opening a silver mine to get silver?

Shangguan Ruoli was also heartbroken, sighed, and said, "I do know that there is a large silver mine on an island in the South China Sea. However, I don't know what's going on on the island, and whether the original residents are very powerful."

Dongming Ziyu raised his eyebrows: "Tell me!"

At the beginning, Shangguan Ruoli pointed out Yizhou Island on the map, and now it has not only become a trade center, but also discovered many mineral deposits, so it is not wrong to call it a treasure island.

Shangguan Ruoli gave the cloth towel to Dongming Ziyu and asked him to wipe his hair.

I took out a pen and paper from the drawer, drew the approximate shape of a map, and circled the Malay Archipelago.

"At this location, there are many islands. Around this location, there is an island about the size of Yizhou Island. The climate on it is hot and rainy, and most of it is mountainous. It is not only rich in silver mines, but also iron ore and jade mines. In later generations, The island nation is also very rich."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes were bright, "I will send someone to check it first, and then make plans."

It depends on whether there is a country on the island, whether those mineral deposits have been developed, and the military strength of the country.

"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli marked the approximate latitude and longitude and the approximate distance from Peach Blossom Island on the map.

Going to Malay Island is a secret operation, and it must start from Peach Blossom Island.

"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli put away the map, "Now, take me to see those weapons!"

Dongming Ziyu said with a smile: "You have to teach me and Anyi how to use them. I also found a lot of small things, I don't know if they are weapons."

Three days later, Dongming Ziyu discovered that the secret package of the silver mine arrived at Yuqian as quickly as possible.

It was Dongming Ziyu who used his own special channel to present it to the emperor before the Sun family or someone with a heart.

"Sure enough, there are silver mines." The emperor smiled lightly.

The silver found in the underground tomb, he saw, was all newly forged, which meant that either the official silver was re-melted and forged, or there were silver mines.

Not to mention Yue County, even in the national treasury, the official silver cannot be saved in five years, so he is sure that there must be a silver mine nearby.

He thought that Dongming Ziyu would not report the silver mine to the imperial court, which was a surprise.

"Officials from the Xuan Cabinet, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately enter the palace to discuss matters!"

"Observe the decree!" A eunuch who passed the decree took the order and left.

The eunuch at the door came in and reported: "My Majesty, the Empress Dowager has hosted a banquet and someone will invite you to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to celebrate your birthday in advance."

Tomorrow is the Longevity Day, and there will be a banquet every day. It will be rare for the Empress Dowager to talk to the Emperor, let alone talk about relationship.

The emperor said indifferently: "I have important matters to deal with. I just announced the entry of the ministers into the palace. I'm afraid the meeting will be very late, so I won't go."

"Yes!" The little eunuch replied, bowing his waist and exiting the imperial study.

The emperor glanced at Duofu, and asked indifferently: "Today, who did the Empress Dowager invite to the Palace of Compassion and Peace?"

Duo Fu shook the Buddha dust, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, there is Princess Liya, the granddaughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the youngest daughter of the prime minister, and the great-granddaughter of General Dingyuan..."

The emperor smiled helplessly, "The queen mother really took great pains for my life-long event!"

Duofu's eyes flickered slightly, hesitant to speak, pondered for a while, and chose to shut up.

The emperor glared at Duofu, and said: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate."

Duofu's face changed, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor loses the redemption!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "You didn't say anything, but just shouted for mercy, did you do something that I'm sorry for?"

Duofu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has never done anything to offend the Emperor. I just feel...you..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the emperor cautiously, and seeing the emperor motioning him to continue, he continued: "The servant thinks that the emperor should appoint a concubine, not only to stabilize the court and balance the forces of all parties, but also to give birth to a concubine as soon as possible." Prince, consolidate the country and the country!"

The emperor sighed softly, and said lightly: "Get up, I know it well."

My heart is very small, that person is already full, and there is no room for another person.

Duofu saw that the emperor did not have the same meaning, and persuaded him earnestly: "You can find a girl you like as your queen, if you don't, you can find it slowly, but it doesn't prevent you from accepting a few concubines first, maybe you will show affection Otherwise, if you are in the palace, you will not be able to leave the palace easily, and you will see either eunuchs or palace maids, where can you find a woman who is like you?"

After saying this, Duofu saw that the emperor showed no sign of anger, so he got up and stood there bowed.

The emperor frowned in distress, finally sighed, and said: "Forget it, we will discuss this matter later."

Duo Fu also sighed, if the Emperor doesn't go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager will be in vain to have a fight, I don't know what will happen.
