The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 164 Rich in Pill Mine, Arguing? (2)
"How is the layout of Su City?" Chu Qing asked again.

After Fusu considered his words in his mind, he replied: "At present, everything is proceeding according to Miss's plan. If there is no accident, three days later, the oldest silk shop in Suzhou City will change its course and become the name of Jiuming Company. sign."

This result was clearly expected. When she planned this merger and encroachment plan a month ago, she knew that this day would come.However, when the victory was right in front of her eyes, there was still a faint smile on her beautiful lips.

Curved fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.Chu Qing didn't speak, and the other three present could only keep silent, even their breathing became weaker, not daring to disturb her.

After a while, the clear and quiet eyes fell on Fusu again, and said with a smile like a spring breeze: "Do you know what I mean by recruiting you here?"

Fu Su answered truthfully: "I heard that there is a major event involving the government in Jianning City. I don't know if Miss's trip is related to this."

"You are well informed." Chu Qing smiled approvingly.

Fu Su smiled modestly: "The source of this news, my subordinate, is more dependent on the intelligence organization of our Gold and Silver Building. But I only vaguely know that this important event in Jianning City is very important and has attracted many big fish. But what happened, I don’t know.”

Chu Qingshui's eyes were cool, dazzling, like a star, and the bright red lips uttered two words: "Dan acupuncture point."

"What! Pill point!" Fusu lost his composure and bounced off the stool.

His face was full of shock, these days with Chu Qing, he had experienced a lot of wind and waves.On weekdays, he encourages himself to study with Chu Qing's calm and breezy attitude, and rarely shows such an appearance.

"Miss, are you talking about... pill acupuncture points?" Fusu bit the last two words hard, and the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly obvious in the room.

At this time, not only him, but You He and Xing Rong behind Chu Qing were also shocked by the word 'Dan Xue', they looked at Chu Qing dumbfounded, even their necks became a little stiff.

Chu Qing nodded, confirming that the three heard correctly.She kept this secret until now, before she revealed it.But You He and Xing Rong didn't understand the purpose of coming to Jianning City until now.

"Danxue... Be good, now we are really going to make a fortune!" Xing Rong looked at You He with dull eyes, and lightly covered her upper lip with her hands in disbelief.

You He opened her mouth, but couldn't make any sound, she could only look at Xing Rong with the same eyes, and nodded vigorously.

As Chu Qing's most powerful and closest assistants, how come they don't know what the pill point is and what it means?
Fusu swallowed hard, tried his best to control the shock in his eyes, looked at Chu Qing, and asked cautiously: "Miss, I dare to ask, how big is the pill point?"

Chu Qing smiled even more, and his eyes were full of determination: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, according to reliable information, the scale of this pill point can be exploited for a hundred years."

hiss--!
In the room, there was the sound of gasping from the three of them.

It can be mined for a hundred years, at least a hundred years. This sentence directly shows that this pill cave is not a small mine, maybe it is the main vein ore, so the amount of cinnabar is stored so abundantly.

"How could the imperial court be willing to release such a big hole?" Fusu was a little puzzled.

You must know that the mines in Nanchu are almost all in the hands of the royal family. Even if some of them flow out, they are all small mines with little profit, or old mines that have been exploited for many years and are about to be exhausted.

Dan point, also known as cinnabar mine.It produces cinnabar ore.

What can cinnabar do?
In fact, cinnabar represents wealth in this era, and it is something that only rich people can use.It is a good medicine for saving people on the battlefield, a key mineral for extracting mercury, and an indispensable medicine in the formula of elixir for those who are addicted to alchemy.

It is also a thing to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate demons.

Whether it is the folks or the court, the demand for cinnabar is very large.

What's more, cinnabar mines are very rare, and the price of one tael of purified cinnabar is almost the same as one tael of gold. Such veins are no different from gold mines.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there was a family that became rich with pill acupuncture. People in the world described this family as "the richest man in the world, with thousands of children and servants".At that time, in the era when wars were raging and many countries existed side by side, such a family was able to rely on the ancestral alchemy to support a huge private army, maintaining a peace in the troubled times, and no country dared to disturb it easily.

The splendor and history of this family lasted until 500 years ago, when the alchemy points were exhausted, they became lonely and finally disappeared in the long river of history.

It can be seen from this that the astonishing wealth represented by the pill point.

Why did the imperial court release it?

"Because the imperial court is unwilling to take the risk of mining." Chu Qing explained the secret.

Fusu was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood: "The alchemy point has not been mined yet?"

Chu Qing lowered his head slightly, and said the information described in the letter Zhao Shenghao sent Alu that day: "It is said that this pill point was accidentally discovered by an alchemist when he was searching for points for the royal family to build a mausoleum. Underground, no one knows about it, let alone exploit it.”

"Why didn't the imperial court mine it themselves? Just hand over this great wealth to others?" Fusu still couldn't figure it out.

Chu Qing stood up, walked slowly to the window, supported the window lattice with both hands, looked at the scenery outside the window, said nothing, and the look in her eyes was unpredictable.

Fusu and the others stood behind her without disturbing her, just waiting quietly and patiently for her answer.

After a long time, Chu Qing said lightly: "I also want to know the answer."

She didn't doubt Zhao Shenghao's information, but she couldn't figure out the intention of the imperial court's choice.No money to mine?In today's peaceful and prosperous age, the local area of ​​Southern Chu is rich in material and resources, so naturally there will be no shortage of money.

Manpower and material resources?Just kidding, if a country cannot mine mines, what ability do private businesses have?
The clear answer made the three people behind him peek at each other, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.Since the establishment of the Jiuming Company, every step has been carefully calculated and designed, and every step has never been wrong. Therefore, in just one year, it has become one of the first-class companies in Nanchu, and it is mysterious and unpredictable. .

However, right now, something happened that even Chu Qing couldn't see through.

This made the three of them not only a little suspicious, but whether they will face monstrous wealth or a conspiracy trap this time when they come to Jianning City.

"Miss, the imperial court's intention is not clear, if we join in so rashly, will we..." Fu Su expressed the worry in his heart, although he didn't finish speaking, he knew clearly what he meant.

Chu Qing shook his head slowly: "Whether it's a trap or a cliff, this time, Jiuming must participate in the competition." The temptation of wealth is part of the reason, and Chu Qing hopes that Jiuming's company can make the world famous in this competition. Everyone knows.
