"What's going on with Li Changkong recently?" Princess Changping asked Caiyun in the princess's mansion.
"Yes. It is said that this Uncle Anbei was quite honest the week before. He didn't go out or take any steps towards the second door. He just stayed at home and did nothing!"
“It’s just that the second week was completely different!”
"Make friends with people everywhere, and recently there are rumors that you like to dig for gold!"
"And it is said that a lot of money was spent to find someone to dig the gold mine, but the fact is that if there was a gold mine, it would have been dug by us Jin people long ago. How could we get him in his turn, so naturally we found nothing."
Caiyun told the story vividly.
"Gold mining?" Princess Changping couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this: "What about other things? Is there any other news?"
"This...has never happened before."
Hearing this, Princess Changping frowned even more tightly.
To be honest, she expected that Li Changkong would not be honest after coming to the Western Jin Dynasty.
Something would definitely happen, but she didn't care.
With her reputation in the Western Jin Dynasty and her father's support, she was confident that she could handle it no matter how much disturbance Li Changkong made.
However, the reality was somewhat beyond her expectation.
Li Changkong did not communicate with the powerful officials of the Jin Dynasty. Instead, he entertained some wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families every day.
I even fell in love with gold panning.
"I'm afraid there's something fishy here." Princess Changping said with a slight frown.
"Your Highness, are you worrying too much?"
"Gold, naturally everyone likes it. Uncle Anbei came to our Western Jin Dynasty and wanted to give it a try. There is nothing wrong with it." Caiyun said.
However, Princess Changping shook her head again and said: "People like Li Changkong often have big plans, so how can they care about mere money."
"There must be something fishy in this. In the next few days, you should keep an eye on it and don't let any rumors go."
"promise!"
…
In the next few days, Li Changkong continued to search for gold mines.
However, I don’t know if it was because of his bad luck, or if all the gold mines in the Western Jin Dynasty were really mined by the Jin people.
All in all, nothing was gained!
But Li Changkong not only didn't stop, but got even more aggressive!
Spend more money, hire more people, and explore more gold mines.
This kind of move made Jin people sneer at him!
Because they couldn’t be more familiar! This is clearly a case of digging for gold!
In the past, there were many gold diggers in Dajin, but in the end, only a few people found gold mines and became famous!
The rest of the people, just like Li Changkong now, made mistakes and ended up with their families and families destroyed!
After the wave of gold mining calmed down, people in Jin realized that gold mining was a different kind of gambling!
However, the price is far beyond ordinary gambling!
Once you lose the bet, your family will be ruined!
After all, not everyone is as wealthy as Li Changkong and can explore mineral veins many times.
Ordinary people, in a lifetime, can only scrape together enough money to explore a mine!
Once you hit the mark, it will be a windfall!
But if he misses... the consequences can be imagined. Death of family and life is trivial. The most common one is to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
And Li Changkong's current state is almost exactly the same as that of the gold diggers above!
Therefore, some people soon concluded that Li Changkong would lose all his fortune sooner or later and lose everything.
And if this happened, it would naturally spread to the royal family!
The eldest prince Zhou Xing and the seventh prince Zhou Mingzheng gathered together to cook wine and enjoy plum blossoms.
"Brother, have you ever heard about Li Changkong's gold rush?" After a few glasses of water and wine, Zhou Ming became interested and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Of course I heard about it." Zhou Xing nodded.
"Then what does eldest brother think of this matter?"
"What do you think of this matter? You want to ask me what I think of this person?" Zhou Xing said with a smile.
"I still can't hide it from my brother! Changping is thousands of miles away, and the talents obtained with a hundred thousand troops don't seem to be very good." Zhou Ming frowned.
"It's not just bad, it's just superficial!"
"Chang Ping calls him a national scholar, but have you ever seen a national scholar who was greedy for money and almost lost everything in the end?"
"Judging from this point alone, he cannot be called a national scholar!"
"Even if he is talented, he is just an ordinary talent who is greedy for wealth." Zhou Xingyan said firmly.
"Brother is right. It seems that Chang Ping finally took a shot." Zhou Ming said.
"Humph, what kind of vision can a female class have? It was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse before. It was just good luck." Zhou Xing snorted coldly, and his words seemed to be extremely disdainful.
Hearing this, Zhou Ming felt a little embarrassed to answer, so he could only cough twice to relieve the embarrassment.
He knew that his eldest brother had always been dissatisfied with Changping.
Because it was Chang Ping's existence that led to his delay in being crowned prince, even when his father's health was deteriorating!
However, some things can be said in private, but they must not be said in public.
Zhou Ming looked around, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting aside, and said, "Everyone, please go down."
After seeing that everyone was gone, Zhou Ming said: "Brother, brother, you should be more cautious."
"If these words reach the ears of my father, I might have to call you and me in for a scolding."
"Hmph! I have this mouth, so of course I can say whatever I want, for fear of what she will do!" Zhou Xing snorted and complained a few times, but in the end he stopped and stopped criticizing Princess Changping. .
However, the anger and unwillingness in his eyes were growing crazily.
…
Princess Mansion.
"What? Are you still digging for gold?" Princess Changping's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was getting more and more unexpected.
The dignified Uncle An Bei, in the heart of Emperor Daqian, was almost inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
If you want money, you only need to say a word from him, and a lot of money will be delivered to your door.
Even now that I have arrived in the Western Jin Dynasty, I live in a post house.
But under his own instructions, the food and clothing expenses of the post house were almost as high as those of the royal family!
Moreover, a salary is paid out every month, and the level of salary is almost equivalent to that of a second-grade official in the current dynasty!
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Li Changkong should not be short of money!
Why is this so? Do you have to dive into the bottomless pit of gold mining?
According to her understanding, Li Changkong is extremely intelligent and has many ingenious plans!
He is a man of great wisdom!
However, the other party's current behavior was beyond her expectation.
"It shouldn't be like this. Did you find out anything else?"
Princess Changping still felt that Li Changkong must be planning something. The reason why she didn't understand it was because she lacked some key details!
"There is indeed some other news. It is said that... Uncle Anbei is about to run out of gold."
"Even the rare objects, gold, silver and jewelry brought from Daqian were sold off one by one and exchanged for silver."
Caiyun said.
