If Li Changkong agreed to such a request today.
With Princess Changping's writing, it will spread throughout Jin Dynasty tomorrow!
Over time, it will spread to all the countries in the four directions!
After one month, if the money is still not available, Li Changkong must become an official in the Jin Dynasty and become a minister of the Jin Dynasty!
Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined and you will become a notorious breach of trust!
In this era, people often place great importance on credibility and reputation!
Otherwise, those scholars would not think hard about becoming famous all day long. For this reason, he is not even afraid of death.
"Cough, cough, cough." Zhen Jian pretended to choke on his food and coughed, signaling to Li Changkong to refuse Princess Changping's request.
However, contrary to expectations, Li Changkong smiled and nodded, saying: "Just do as Her Highness the Princess said."
"After one month, if I fail to repay the fifty thousand taels of silver, I will become an official in the Western Jin Dynasty and pay off the debt with my own life!"
When Princess Changping heard this, she burst into laughter and said, "Okay! Once a word is spoken, it's hard to catch up!"
"Caiyun, go get some silver quickly!"
When Caiyun heard this, he couldn't help but curled his lips.
She even wondered if the transaction was a loss.
It’s hard to say whether it’s profitable to use a full fifty thousand taels of silver to work for someone who can betray his own country.
After all, he, Li Changkong, could betray Da Qian today and become an official in Da Jin. You can betray the Jin Dynasty tomorrow and become an official in another country!
However, in front of outsiders, she still did not refute Princess Changping, but went to collect the silver.
After a while, Caiyun came over with five banknotes worth ten thousand taels and handed them to Princess Changping with a serious expression.
Princess Changping didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Li Changkong.
After Li Changkong took it, he also put it away without looking at it.
Then he stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness Princess. Changkong will take his leave now."
Princess Changping heard this and nodded with a smile: "Don't forget the one-month period."
Li Changkong nodded when he heard this, then turned and left.
After Li Changkong completely left, Caiyun couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why did you give him fifty thousand taels?"
"If he can betray Da Qian today, he could betray me, Da Jin, in the past!"
Hearing this, Princess Changping smiled and shook her head, and asked something strange: "I want to ask you, what kind of consequences will there be after one month after he takes the money?"
"Of course there are two types, either you have to pay back the money or you can't pay it back."
"That's right! If the money can be repaid, it means that Li Changkong has been hiding his clumsiness these days!"
"It looks like you are digging for gold, but in fact, digging for gold is just trying to hide your eyes from others!"
"After all, you can't make any money from gold mining. How can he get 50,000 taels of silver to repay me after one month? It means that he must have done other things! These things are the channels for him to make money!"
"If the money is still not paid, it means that I have thought too much and misunderstood him."
"In this way, one worry can be solved, and he can be promoted to an official position. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"Besides, what will happen after becoming an official? Will he betray the Jin Dynasty? That is a matter for later. There is no need to make a conclusion now."
When Caiyun heard this, he nodded immediately, with a hint of enlightenment in his heart, and said with emotion: "So that's how it is."
…
Just as Li Changkong expected, within a day, the news that he asked Princess Changping to borrow money spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Jin capital.
Even the content of the bet between the two was passed on word for word.
From this point of view, it is really clear whose handiwork it is!
For this reason, the public's criticism of Li Changkong became even more intense!
But it was just some incompetence, asking a woman to borrow money, being embarrassed to be with her, and other innocuous remarks, Li Changkong never took it to heart.
In addition to using the 50,000 taels of silver to maintain the operation of thirty exploration teams, he also spent a lot of money to hire three more exploration teams.
It’s just that these three exploration teams are all composed of Gan people!
Although Da Jin and Da Qian had friction with each other all year round, they never really started a war.
Therefore, in the past, many cadres came to Dajin to make a living. Although not many of them were engaged in gold mining, it was definitely impossible.
As Li Changkong searched carefully, he quickly gathered three exploration teams, and with a monthly salary higher than that of the Jin exploration team, they set off towards the Canglan Mountains!
In the eyes of the Jin people, this move was tantamount to Li Changkong not trusting the Jin people and thinking that the Jin people had deceived him, which was why he had explored so many places but could not find the gold mine!
As a result, people's scolding of Li Changkong became louder again.
No one thought that the results would be any different after Li Changkong added three more teams of cadres.
It shouldn't be found, but it still can't be found, no matter how many people are added, it will be useless.
However, almost at the same time, everyone in the city was mocking Li Changkong openly or secretly.
An accident happened!
Five days later, one of the three Ganren survey teams came back!
And all the members' faces were full of excitement, as if they were encountering a golden mountain in the wilderness!
This matter also spread, and some people said that this team had found a gold mine.
But most people sneer at this!
There are so many Jin people who can't be found. How can they be found by someone else? Do you really think Qianren is a god?
However, next, something unexpected happened to all Jin people in the capital city of Jin!
Li Changkong disbanded all the survey teams, leaving only the manned survey team that came back yesterday!
The next morning, someone saw the team heading towards the Canglan Mountains again!
However, this time the team seems to be carrying no more exploration equipment, but excavation equipment!
Another three days and the team is back again!
Moreover, everyone's backpacks were bulging and made a swaying sound when they walked.
This scene was witnessed by almost everyone in the city!
So the news that Li Changkong finally found the mineral vein spread further and further, becoming more and more impressive!
However, most people still think that this time is just like the last time, it is just a small vein.
However, there are a few who are clear-headed and realize that something is wrong!
If it were the same small vein as last time, the Daqian envoy wouldn't have to be so secretive at all!
Apparently there was a big gain!
I just don’t know how big this gold mine is!
You know, there is a large gold mine right out of the Canglan Mountains, the scale of which far exceeds that of Dajin!
The small mineral vein that Li Changkong and the others discovered last time was actually a special case.
However, just when everyone in the capital of Jin was itching, they went to the post house day and night to inquire about the news.
However, Li Changkong invited some of the biggest cash collectors in the city to go to the post house to discuss the matter!
No one knows what exactly was discussed.
I only knew that a few days later, someone would come to the posthouse to transport gold, the kind pulled by a horse-drawn carriage!
It was only then that the people of Jin Capital finally realized that Li Changkong had really found a large gold mine!
