"That's it?"
Tang Ping looked at the so-called three artifacts of Fuso inside several boxes.
The first thing he knew about these three things was actually playing a very popular fighting game at the time - The King of Fighters - when he and Mr. Gou and the others were hanging out in the arcade.
The source of the protagonist Kusanagi Kyo's power comes from the Kusanagi sword, which is also the Amancongyun sword.
Then there are Iori Yagami and Kagura Chizuru, which correspond to the eight-foot magatama and eight-foot mirror respectively.
He remembered that there were still Hong Kong comics with related stories at that time. At that time, three people rented the comics in the comic shop and read them fascinatedly.
So he always felt that the prototypes of these three artifacts should be relatively awesome.
But now that I have seen it, I am really disappointed.
Then think about it again, this thing is said to be hundreds of years old now. What can things made hundreds of years ago be made with the productivity at that time?
These so-called three artifacts are not really handed down from the God Realm.
When I think about it, I feel relieved.
He took out the Amazong Cloud Sword from the box, looked at it, and threw it back casually. Emperor Shotoku was frightened to see it.
"Be careful, don't break it!"
Although he said this, he felt a little relieved in his heart. Looking at Tang Ping's appearance, it seemed that he really didn't take these treasures seriously, so there was no need to worry about him really being greedy.
"Okay!" Tang Ping covered the box, hugged it and said to Li Bai: "Make a contract for Emperor Shotoku. These three artifacts will be used as collateral for the 8.6 million guan owed. When will the debt be paid?" When will the money be returned to Emperor Fuso?"
Emperor Shotoku felt bitter, but he had no place to say it.
Who told him not to dare to owe a debt if he couldn't pay back the money temporarily?
Fortunately, Datang will soon hand over the rent of this year's concession, which is the iron ore, to them. After getting the iron ore, he will turn them all into mining pickaxes, and then go to Hokkaido to dig gold mines.
At least he must pay back the debt and redeem the three artifacts while he is on the throne. Otherwise, when the throne is passed to the next emperor, without the three artifacts, he is afraid that he will be written up in the history books.
And Tang Ping returned with a full load. He himself got the canonization document of Mount Fuji, and Datang got the concession treaty of Mount Ishimi and Mount Sado. He also took away the three artifacts of Fuso and an IOU worth 8.6 million guan.
When he returned to Chang'an the next day, it happened to be the imperial meeting in Chang'an. After Tang Ping woke up, he came to the palace with the concession treaty.
"Ping Guo Gong, the court meeting is already halfway through." A servant followed Tang Ping inside with a smile.
Tang Ping was probably the only one in the Tang Dynasty who was late for court meetings. Even Li Shimin was never late because of his diligence.
"Has anything big happened recently?" Tang Ping asked, yawning.
He didn't plan to be late today, but Emperor Shotoku was not convinced yesterday and found a group of people at the banquet to compete with people from his convenience store for drinks.
The two drunkards, Lao Cui and Lao Du, were both drunk, and he was not spared. It was good to get up this morning.
"If it's a major event, it's really nothing. Now all the countries around the Tang Dynasty have surrendered. The world is at peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. This is all thanks to Duke Ping and all of you."
The chamberlain's speaking skills were very high, and his flattery without any trace made Tang Ping feel comfortable.
Entering through the gate, Tang Ping quietly walked to the last row and found a pillar to lean against.
"hey-hey……"
Just as he was about to close his eyes and lean in for a while, a voice suddenly came from beside him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young man beside him, calling him softly.
"What's wrong?"
"Which department do you belong to?" The young official looked at Tang Ping's official uniform curiously, feeling that he had never seen such official uniform before.
"Me? No department. What about you?"
"I'm from the Ministry of Industry. I used to manage a mine in Henan Province. Today I'm here to attend the meeting for the first time."
"Awesome! It's your first time attending a court meeting, and you dare to talk to me?" Tang Ping said with a smile.
The young official also secretly smiled and said: "We are standing so far away. Who can see us? Moreover, for us as junior officials, His Majesty will not directly explain things to us. Our superiors will naturally make arrangements when we return." ."
Tang Ping shook his head gently: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe there will be a good job for you today."
Then Tang Ping asked some questions about the Henan Dao Mine and found that although this young official was a bit frivolous, he was still very proficient in business.
The two were having a lively chat when Li Shimin asked, "Where's Tang Ping? Didn't you say you were coming to a court meeting today?"
When other officials heard that the rare Tang Ping had arrived, they all looked around to find where they were.
A chamberlain trotted up to Tang Ping and whispered, "Mr. Ping, His Majesty is calling you."
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Tang Ping smiled and said to the young official, "Let's talk later."
Then he walked forward.
The young official was stunned, and then asked the chamberlain: "Is he Duke Ping?"
The chamberlain nodded and thought to himself, if it weren't for Duke Ping, how many people would dare to sleep against the pillar? How many people were chatting behind here and the waiter saw them but didn't come to warn them?
Do you really think that anyone can chat under the Great Chao Meeting?
Tang Ping walked to the front and made a gesture of worship, but was stopped by Li Shimin with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, okay, I just came back from Fuso. Thank you for your hard work. Didn't you say you have something good to give to me?"
Tang Ping dug out a few pieces of paper from his pocket. When he saw that they were a little wrinkled, he smoothed them out with his hands before handing them over to the chamberlain.
"Tang boy, didn't you say that you went to look for gold and silver for His Majesty? Why did you just bring back a few pieces of paper?" Cheng Zhijie, who was on the side, teased him.
"Yes, our Anxi Army wants to change its uniform this year, but the Ministry of Revenue keeps saying that there is no money. You should think of a way." Niu Jinda also joined in and said.
"That's a mountain of gold and silver." Tang Ping pointed to the paper in Li Shimin's hand.
Li Shimin had already read the above content at this time, shouted hello three times, and then said: "Where are the officials from the Mining Bureau of the Ministry of Industry? They all came up to talk."
The young official who started chatting with Tang Ping and several other Ministry of Works officials carefully came to the front.
Officials at their level attended the meeting for the first time today and saw Li Shimin for the first time.
Li Shimin said: "The information about Fuso Sado Jinshan is here. I require that after it is completed, it will produce 400 kilograms of gold and 40 tons of silver per year."
"Then here is the information about Fuso Iwami Ginzan. It is required to produce 40 tons of silver per year after it is completed. Can it be achieved?"
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to send information about the two minerals to the mining officials below, but other officials had already exploded.
"Forty tons plus 40 tons, can we produce 80 tons of silver this year?"
"Isn't it possible? A small fusang can produce so much silver in a year?"
