Chapter 2769
"Although this diamond is not good, I will create a diamond necklace exclusively for His Majesty later, which will be unique in the world!"
After hearing what Tang Yu said, Empress Nihuang's expression softened a lot.
The next second, a smile appeared on the corner of Empress Nihuang's mouth, looking at the mining area all over the mountain. If it is as Tang Yu said, the diamonds can be made into diamond rings, necklaces and other items, it will be deeply loved by the majority of women. .
By then, the Daxia Dynasty will be the only one, monopolizing the diamond market, and filling the national treasury will not be a problem at all.
Empress Nihuang glanced at Tang Yu, and then said: "You are very good, Xiaoxue is not wrong about the person."
Hearing this, Tang Yu smiled lightly, knowing that he had passed the empress' test.
But at this moment, Wang Wenjing, the Prime Minister of Great Xia, rolled his eyes and made things difficult for Tang Yu again.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter. Although diamonds are very valuable, their cycle is too slow, and they also need to be made into diamond rings, necklaces, etc. Just processing them will take a lot of time."
"I believe that it is urgent to replenish the national treasury at the moment. Coupled with the Xiongnu raids on the Central Plains, I am afraid that we will not have so much time for us to operate the diamond market."
"To enrich the treasury, we need more convenient items, and collecting mining areas is not an easy task. It requires a lot of investment in material and financial resources. After all, we haven't made any money yet, but we have to invest a lot first. It’s really not worth it.”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil servants followed suit and thought that what Wang Wenjing said was very reasonable.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is urgent to replenish the national treasury. There is no time to waste on collecting mining areas. What the Prime Minister said is true. It will take at least half a day to transport it from the mining area to the Great Xia Dynasty. Going back and forth will consume a lot of financial resources. With the national treasury now The situation is really too much to bear.”
"This is just collection, and does not include subsequent processing, inlaying, etc. To put it bluntly, although diamonds are expensive, the prerequisite investment is too great, and each step requires a lot of silver."
"Yes, yes, I also think that diamonds are not suitable. We should need more convenient items. Small initial investment and high returns in the later period are what we need most. It is also the fastest way to replenish the national treasury."
Hearing this, Tang Yu's face suddenly darkened. He couldn't tell that this was Wang Wenjing and others deliberately making things difficult for him, deliberately suppressing him and saying that diamonds were not good.
"Small initial investment, high returns later? Do you think pie will fall from the sky?"
“If you don’t invest, how can you get anything in return?”
"If there really is a project like the one you're talking about, just tell me and I'll invest. It's really funny!"
Tang Yu sneered, and Zhao Zulong stood up to support Tang Yu.
Zhao Zulong sneered and said: "That's right, His Highness Tang Yu invented the value of diamonds anyway, and what about you? Apart from a bunch of talkative nerds, what else can you do?"
"Don't forget, it was His Highness Tang Yu who solved the problem of escorting supplies. Now you see His Highness Tang Yu solving the problem of the treasury, and then you stand up and say that diamonds are not good. What have you been doing?"
"If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, don't nag!"
For a time, all the civil servants and military generals held different opinions, and the two sides were quarreling.
Zhao Zulong and other generals supported Tang Yu, believing that investment was risky and that early investment was normal.
Wang Wenjing and other civil servants believed that with the current treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty, material and financial resources should not be used on this, and products with a short operating cycle that could be put directly into the market were needed.
Both parties are talking about what their mothers-in-law are saying. From the perspective of onlookers, both Zhao Zulong and Wang Wenjing are very reasonable.
