"Silver mine?"
Gu Qingcheng said a lot, and Mu Xiu only noticed this important point besides observing the obvious disgust in Gu Qingcheng's attitude.
His pupils contracted hard and he looked at Gu Qingcheng intently: "Aqing, you said there are silver mines on that island?"
Could he, an outsider, easily hear this kind of top-secret information that should be kept strictly confidential?
Is A Qing still cautious and alert at all?
Silver mine!
That's a silver mine!
Although the current currency in circulation is not silver, but copper coins.
However, this is not because gold and silver are not valuable enough.
On the contrary, it is precisely because gold and silver are so scarce that they become more valuable.
China is short of silver mines.
And what did Aqing say?
She said that on a small island in the sea, there was the largest silver mine in the world!
This, this... such a secret should only be passed down by word of mouth among the family members.
Let's not talk about a person with a foreign surname. Even a person of the same clan, who is not a direct descendant or a successor, is not allowed to be informed.
Ah Qing, but...
"Yes, there are silver mines! There are also gold mines and copper mines!"
"Even if we keep digging, we may not be able to dig them all out in our lifetime!"
Gu Qingcheng looked in the direction of the sea, with information about the neon silver mine in his mind.
The world's largest silver mine, accounting for one-third of the world's share.
Neon's most famous silver mine mined two hundred tons per year in its heyday, and usually dozens of tons. It has been mined continuously for four hundred years!
Gu Qingcheng felt that having such a large mine would only cover the military expenditures needed to raise troops and unify the country. Even in the future, the Chinese government would not be short of money for projects such as digging the Grand Canal and building capitals.
Mu Xiu:......
So what, Aqing, that’s not the point!
The point is, why did you tell me such a big secret to a person with a foreign surname?
Mu Xiu was a little messy in the wind.
He knew that Aqing believed in him and regarded him as a confidant.
However, Mu Xiu still didn't expect that Aqing believed him to such an extent.
Mu Xiu is no longer just a "scholar who died for his confidant", but, but——
"Aqing, don't worry, I will follow you and be loyal to you for the rest of my life!"
This feeling of being valued and trusted is absolutely fatal to a person who has been looked at in a different light all year round.
Perhaps before, Mu Xiu still had a slight hesitation deep in his heart and wanted to make two preparations.
However, at this moment, facing A Qing who is so "sincere" and trusts him so much, Mu Xiu will have no reservations.
Disaster:...
Focus on the heart!
What a great one!
Having been with Gu Qingcheng for so many years, it is no longer just a little mentally retarded.
Its CPU stores a large amount of information about Gu Qingcheng's language and behavior.
Through the collection and analysis of these data, Huoshui has a certain understanding of high-end AI.
It may not be able to simulate or predict Gu Qingcheng's behavior, but it can still get a glimpse of it.
Huoshui was extremely sure that Gu Qingcheng would be so honest with Mu Xiu not because he really trusted her, but because he wanted to take advantage of her.
Think about it, what if Mu Xiu knew that there was a silver mine on a certain island?
Does he have specific charts?
Does he have a treasure ship that can ride the wind and waves and sail deep seas?
Does he have enough powerful soldiers who are familiar with water properties?
You know, at this time, Neon already had aborigines.
Although those people are similar to savages, ah, they are not as good as savages. At least in terms of physique, they cannot be compared with other savages.
They are short and small, and carry primitive tools, which are better than monkeys.
However, no matter how "primitive" they are, they are not real monkeys. They still have a certain fighting capacity.
If you don't have enough force and travel across the ocean to the island, you may not be able to successfully capture the silver mine.
And sea charts, treasure ships, men and horses, weapons, food, medicinal materials... Mu Xiu didn't have them, but Gu Qingcheng had them all!
Therefore, even if Mu Xiu knew the news about the silver mine, he would not be able to get the money.
As for Gu Qingcheng, he was able to use this "gaudy" news to completely capture Mu Xiu's heart!
No, Mu Xiu just came back from the beach and had an "Oyster Feast" in the main courtyard of Gu's Uburg. Mu Xiu couldn't think of the grilled oysters, oyster vermicelli, garlic oysters, oyster porridge and other delicacies. He was so excited Go work as an ox or a horse for Gu Qingcheng.
Oh no, Mu Xiu is going to start a career!
He wished he could be divided into several people, not only continue to manage Gu's various businesses, but also be responsible for the expansion of the dock and the construction of the lighthouse.
Even the treasure ship project in cooperation with Huang's Shipyard was given to Mu Xiu by Gu Qingcheng!
Mu Xiu: ... Qing treats me as a nobleman of the country, and I will fight to the death!
It's just that he is a little tired. I remember that when he was in the Northern Dynasties, he also worked as an ox and a horse for the Mu family.
However, the Mu family could not even treat them as equals, let alone respect them.
A Qingque is different. In her heart, I am no longer an equal "same kind", but a confidant that she trusts and relies on!
Therefore, even if he was even more tired, so tired that he didn't even have time to sleep or eat, he was still content with it.
What's more, he was not passively squeezed, but extremely active and proactive in solving Gu Qingcheng's problems.
"...Is this Shiohiki?"
Gu Qingcheng adheres to the principle of "do not trust people when you employ them, and do not use people when you doubt them". He said that he would hand over the property to Mu Xiu, but he really left it alone.
She doesn't even send a "monitoring army", the main thing is "trust".
Mu Xiu: ... He has already said too many touching words, and he is too lazy to say any more.
He will only prove himself with practical actions.
Aqing trusted him and would not ask or interfere, but he would take the initiative to report to Gu Qingcheng.
With the arrival of hurricane season, strong winds are blowing on the seaside, and treasure ships have to take shelter in the harbor.
Shipping was forced to a halt.
However, the fighting on the riverside was still raging, and Chen Duan's tens of thousands of troops also needed food and other logistical supplies.
The imperial court will definitely not make arrangements, and Chen Duan's biggest reliance is Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:......
I have food and grass, but transportation is a problem.
Guangcheng is better, but Luozhou, Yuezhou and other places are located south of the Five Ridges.
The sea route is impassable, and there are almost no land routes. There is food, but it cannot be transported in time.
Gu Qingcheng regarded Chen Duan as his "vanguard general" to conquer the country, but he would not really show the face of "taking advantage".
The top priority is to attack the heart, and the main focus is "sincerity".
The way Gu Qingcheng treated Chen Duan, anyone who saw him would praise him as sincere and virtuous!
Chen Duan is not stupid. Even if he is stupid, he still has advisers and counselors around him.
As long as Gu Qingcheng is even the slightest bit false, he will not be able to gain the trust of Chen Duan and everyone in Prince Liang's family.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng really stood in the position of the future Princess Liang, planning for Chen Duan with all her heart.
Mu Xiu, who has been "attacked" by her for a long time, will naturally give her full support to the things that Gu Qingcheng cares about.
In order to solve the food problem, Mu Xiu, as a top female businessman, came up with an excellent way...
