After listening to my introduction, the third prince and Xie Ren were quite satisfied. However, after a while, Xie Ren suddenly asked: "If we build it, we will definitely need a lot of silver. We are far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty now. It is difficult to go back and forth." The trip takes a lot of time, and we can only buy these materials and other things in Shadow Sea Country, and we didn¡¯t bring much silver this time!¡±
I smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about the silver tael problem, because I have already found a solution. I can guarantee that we can guarantee the construction of this base without taking a tael of silver from the treasury!"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I asked you why you are getting better and better at joking now. We all know how much money you bring when you go out. Now you say you want to build a base without paying a penny. Isn't that right? What a joke? Will money rain down from the sky again?"
We can't blame him. After all, he didn't know about the treasure when we found it. Moreover, this is at sea, unlike on land. If there is any situation, we can immediately call people back to report. Moreover, we found the treasure and it is only a matter of today. Apart from the fleet's No one else knows about it, so it's normal for him not to know.
I laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "There may not be gold falling from the sky in this world, but there are quite a few gold buried in the soil, and we are very lucky, and we happened to meet it!"
Seeing my serious look, the third prince could not help but be stunned and said: "What you said is not true!"
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm really sorry. What I said is really true. Moreover, this treasure is enough to pay for the construction of our base. But our current problem is how to turn this treasure into silver, and how can we turn it into silver?" The silver traded in the Sea Kingdom, you must know that these things are probably the things of the Silver Sea Kingdom back then!"
The guide we hired is a man with a wide range of knowledge. We picked out a few things from the treasure and asked him to identify them. As a result, when he took a look, he recognized that these things belonged to the Kingdom of Shadow Sea, and they were very powerful in terms of performance. It may be something belonging to the royal family of the Shadow Sea Kingdom, but it has been a long time ago. When I learned this answer, I was really in a dilemma. If it is really something from the Shadow Sea Kingdom, if it is sold, it will definitely be sold by the people of the Shadow Sea Kingdom. If we recognize it, then they are likely to ask us for it back. Then it will be difficult for us to make a reasonable introduction to the origin of this treasure. But if it is not sold, then we don¡¯t know where the money for this building came from.
Fortunately, part of this treasure is made up of utensils, and the rest is all gold and silver. Comparing it with the currency in circulation in the Silver Sea Kingdom, we found that these things are all the same in shape, but the words engraved on them are different. That¡¯s all. This reassures me a lot: I only need to melt these currencies that were originally in circulation and cast them into the gold and silver they are now! And the silver ingots and gold ingots cast are not fake banknotes!
The third prince was obviously doubtful about my words. After listening to my words, he said carefully: "You really picked up the money, right? It looks like it's true from the way you look?"
"What does it mean to look like?"
I smiled and said, "It's true! If you don't believe it, you can ask Nu'er if I'm deceiving you, my third brother-in-law?"
The third prince looked at Zhou Nu doubtfully and asked, "Is everything he said true?"
Zhou Nu smiled slightly and said: "Third brother, he didn't lie. Just a few days ago, our men discovered a treasure while surveying this area. There was a large amount of gold and silver stored in it, which lasted several days. Ten boxes, we have arranged a lot of people to clean them in the past few days, and they have not been completed yet, but based on current estimates, the cost of building the base should be enough!"
The third prince stood up suddenly, with a happy face, and said: "Then take me to see it quickly!"
Zhou Nu and I looked at each other and smiled, and then I said: "Let's go, I'll take you to see it too, lest you say I lied to you!"
After saying that, I took the lead and walked in front. After passing through the passage that was strictly protected by soldiers for a few days, I came to the door of a room. Then I smiled and said: "Before that, I have to give you two some advice." Awake!"
The third prince was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you trying to remind me of!"
I smiled slightly and said: "Then prepare your handkerchiefs, I'm afraid your saliva will flow out after a while!"
Then he laughed and opened the door!
Inside the gate is a room specially reinforced with steel plates. This room is now filled with jewelry. Several clerks and soldiers are registering and inventorying the separated jewelry, gold and silver and other items! Due to the illumination of the light, the whole room flashed with colorful light.
The third prince and Xie Ren¡¯s eyes widened.?Looking at dozens of boxes of jewelry piled in front of him, he remained silent for a long time. Then the third prince softened his eyes hard and said, "I'm not looking at the flowers, am I?"
Then he turned to look at Xie Ren and asked again: "Are all the jewelry in front of you real?"
Xie Ren nodded vigorously and said blankly: "This is all true. If it weren't for this on the ship, I would have thought that I had entered our Great Zhou's treasure house! My eyes were dazzled by what I saw! I have never seen this in my life. I have never seen so many gold and silver jewelry!¡±
The third prince shook his head and said: "Don't tell me it's you, as the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have never seen so many jewels! How many are there?"
¡°Perhaps he was too surprised, the third prince seemed a little incoherent.
After saying this, the third prince turned to look at me, looked me up and down, and then said: "I understand now, you are really not very lucky, even on this small island in the sea. Can you find treasure? I'm thinking about suggesting to my eldest brother that I send you out to search for me on these islands one by one. Maybe I can actually find more treasures!"
I quickly shook my head and said, "Don't say that. It's just a fluke that I found the treasure this time. I don't have the ability to dig out the treasure just by digging there. At the same time, this is not my luck. My best All my luck is spent on finding a wife, and this luck is the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty! It means that God wants me to have good weather and good weather in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"
The third prince shook his head and said: "Don't say those high-sounding words to me. Without you, Dazhou would not be what it is now. So, with you, Dazhou is what it is now. And Da Zhou¡¯s best luck is having you!¡±
I quickly said: "Third Prince, what you said is wrong! I, Deng Long, am from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am proud of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The third prince chuckled and said: "Okay, okay! Let's not argue anymore. Anyway, it is right that Zhou has become what it is now because of you. The question we have to ask now is, how to deal with these treasures Lose!"
I nodded and said: "Building a base requires a lot of money. Now these gold and silver are the coins of the Shadow Sea Kingdom. If we use them rashly, they will definitely attract their attention, so I plan to melt all these gold and silver and other objects into casts." It looks like my silver from Dazhou. At the same time, those precious utensils and jewelry are brought back to Dazhou and auctioned in Dazhou. With the workmanship of these jewelry and utensils, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to sell them for a good price. What¡¯s more, now we There are a lot of wealthy people in Dazhou, so it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to sell these things!¡±
The third prince nodded and said: "When we received your news, we also brought a lot of silver. There should be no problem in supporting early use. We can also use the money to buy some smelting equipment, which is on the island. We can recast the gold and silver, and then send a ship to transport the jewelry and other items back to support later construction and use!"
The words of the third prince are good. Once the construction of this base starts, a large amount of silver will be used. The silver they bring is enough to pay for the early stages of the project, such as purchasing materials, etc. When purchasing materials, we can also purchase some smelting. Equipment, then recast all the gold and silver with the Yinhai Kingdom's mark in these treasures, then the Yinhai Kingdom will naturally not be suspicious when we use these silver taels, and they don't know how much silver taels we have brought! It will take a lot of time to transport the remaining jewelry back, sell them all, and then exchange them for silver and bring them back. During this time, the gold and silver left here should be able to meet our needs!
After listening to the words of the third prince, Xie Ren also took up the topic and said: "This is a good idea. The only thing I am worried about now is whether Yinghai Kingdom will fulfill their promise!"
"snort!"
I snorted coldly and said: "They have to fulfill it even if they don't fulfill it. I have taken a fancy to this place. If they are really unwilling, we might as well help their neighbors. I believe they are very interested in Yinghai Country." Are you very interested in the land?"
??
"There is nothing good or bad!"
I shook my head and continued: "What is in front of us now is not about good or bad, but everything is based on the interests of the Great Zhou. As long as we can win the interests of the Great Zhou, let alone help the neighboring countries of the Shadow Sea country to attack the Shadow Sea. Even if I personally lead the troops to attack the country, I will not hesitate to do so!"
Xie Ren looked at me blankly and said curiously: "I'm a little strange now. Didn't you hate war in the past? Why do you seem so warlike now!"
I shook my head, then smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I'm belligerent, it's that everything about meThe starting point is always the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is true for not fighting, but also true for war! "
