Chapter 192 Qianjin buys horse bones
Chapter 192: Buy Horse Bone with a Lotto (One Update)
Being forgotten is the real original sin. Therefore, Chen Ying is afraid of being forgotten.
With him taking out his own pocket, the Western Regions quickly developed in just two or three years. Yang Rong was the first merchant in Guannei to arrive in the Western Regions. Yang Rong has now bought one million acres of cotton fields and has become a famous landlord in the Western Regions.
Yang Rong also bought a colorful stone mountain at the foot of Huoshao Mountain. This barren mountain is located on a desolate and water-deficient Gobi Desert. At the foot of this stone mountain named Caiyun Mountain by Yang Rong, Yang Rong is preparing to build Caiyun Castle.
Chen Ying actually didn't want Yang Rong to build a castle in Caiyun Mountain. Because it was water-deficient, it was so hot in summer and cold in winter that it could freeze the stones. This was a forbidden zone for life. As his own person, Chen Ying didn't want Yang Rong to suffer losses. However, Yang Rong liked this place very much. Yang Rong wanted to buy nearly 100,000 acres of barren mountain Gobi Desert near Caiyun Mountain in one breath. In order to dispel Yang Rong's plan to buy Caiyun Mountain, Chen Ying opened his mouth and asked for a price of 100,000 yuan.
You should know that at this time, the fertile land in Guanzhong was only seven or eight guan, and the poor land that could plant coarse grains was only two or three guan. As for wasteland, it was about the price of cabbage, about one or two guan. Chen Ying almost used the price of poor land in Guanzhong to sell 100,000 acres of barren mountains and Gobi Deserts.
No matter from which perspective, it was like being a culprit. But Chen Ying did not expect that Yang Rong did not hesitate at all and agreed in one breath.
Chen Ying hesitated at this time. If something goes wrong, there will be evil.
Although Yang Rong spent not much money, she could not grow crops after buying such a piece, and even the most drought-resistant camel thorn in the desert could not survive. Chen Ying really couldn't think of what Yang Rong wanted to do in such a place.
After seeing Yang Rong off, Chen Ying called Zhou Qing and said, "You immediately take a group of people to Huoshaoshan Mountain to see what is in this so-called Caiyun Mountain!"
Chen Ying felt something was wrong. Yang Rong was not a fool. With what she did, she could be called extremely smart. She could not spend money to buy such a useless barren mountain.
Although Chen Ying knew that a person could not finish the benefits in the world, even the emperor could not finish all the benefits. At this time, he should understand that it was sharing. Chen Ying was a person who knew how to share interests. He first distributed the interests of steel to Li Yuan, and then divided them into the King of Taiyuan. For Luo Shixin's marriage, he had another big benefit.
Although it seems like a very stupid behavior, eating alone will lead to hatred. If a person is to the point of having no friends, then he is not far from death.
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact it is. The emperors of the Song Dynasty knew how to share the world with the scholars and officials. With the Song Dynasty, the world was basically as stable as a mountain, and the scholars and officials were willing to share the benefits with the people. Therefore, there was basically no large-scale peasant uprising in the Song Dynasty.
Even if the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the Mongols invaded. The 300,000 soldiers and civilians jumped to their deaths in Yashan and became the country. It can be said that this has never been of such a scale in history.
The fruit tree in the Western Regions gradually ripened with Chen Ying's hard watering. Chen Ying was not afraid of being picked by others. No matter how many fruits they picked, the fruit tree was still Chen Ying. He shared the benefits with the nobles of the Tang Dynasty and the aristocratic families and the people. In this way, Chen Ying would be safer and more solid.
Now that Yang Rong is willing to develop and manage the Western Regions, this is something Chen Ying wanted.
From Chen Ying's own management of the Western Regions to now when someone is willing to manage the Western Regions, this is an essential difference and it is also a big step in Chen Ying's plan.
Chen Ying sat in front of the desk. At this time, Li Daozhen secretly changed into a blue-clothed silk skirt, which was the outfit of an ordinary maid in Duke Liang's mansion.
Li Daozhen pretended to be a maid and walked to Chen Ying's study with steaming tea.
At this time, Chen Ying was in a daze. Asuna Smoo was about to remind Chen Ying. Li Daozhen waved his hand to signal Asuna Smoo to withdraw, and he stood respectfully on the side and served the marquis.
A candle was burning to the end, and the candlelight began to turn light and dark. Chen Ying then got up to change the candle and suddenly found that Li Daozhen was standing by.
Li Daozhen respectfully greeted Chen Yingyi.
Chen Ying hurriedly sideways to avoid it, and invited Li Daozhen to sit down and said, "Don't be so polite, I can't bear it."
Li Daozhen's mouth twitched and she sat on the side with great embarrassment.
Chen Ying held his hands and looked at Li Daozhen and said, "Where are you making trouble?"
Because of Li Daozhen's lesson on Li Siye, she was taught a lesson by Chen Ying. In terms of skills, she was not inferior to Chen Ying, but in the battle on the bed, she really threw away her armor and became defeated. As she repeatedly begged for mercy, Chen Ying forced her to sign the alliance under the city with her uniform.
Li Daozhen murmured: "I believe Chen Lang also knows that I have a knot in my heart and cannot let go of it."
Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "That's just a joke. If there is any offense, please forgive me.
Li Daozhen smiled bitterly, shook her head lightly and said, "I am an unknown person..."
Chen Ying stood up excitedly and reached out to wrap his hand around Li Daozhen's shoulder, and covered her mouth: "Don't say anything more!"
Just then, a cough came from outside the study.
Chen Ying and Li Daozhen jumped up like frightened little rabbits. Chen Yingxun looked at him and saw Li Xiuning smiling outside the door, "It seems that I'm really the time to come..."
...
The desolate area that Yang Rong wants to buy is located on the south side of Karamari Mountain. It is a magical place with an area of about six or seven square kilometers and an elliptical shape. The landform here is unique, with a staggered and eroded hills, and is eroded by wind and rain. From a distance, it looks very similar to the lateral streets of many ancient castles. The soil layer on the cross section of the hills is blue, blue, red, yellow, white, purple, black, etc., which are colorful and dazzling.
After investigation by geological experts, it was originally a vast lake that was 80 million years ago. Various colors of minerals were precipitated in the lake. Later, due to the rise of the crust, various rocks were formed, such as red iron sandstone, gray marlstone, and black marlstone, and rocks exposed on the ground. After millions of years of water erosion and wind erosion, they were left hard and washed away softly. The magic of nature has created this colorful and unique landscape for mankind.
Zhou Qing led a team of elite exploration team members, looking at the large and small pieces of gravel, and said with confusion: "There is not even a ghost here, what can I pay attention to?"
A famous and experienced exploration craftsman smiled bitterly: "Zhou Tongjun, you didn't know that even if it was desolate in the Western Regions, there might be gold mines below!"
Zhou Qing kicked a reddish-brown stone and smiled disapprovingly: "Is there a gold mine here? I'll eat it when I have it!"
The stone raised a large stream of dust and smoke, and the dust filled the dust and smoke flew into the mouth of a member of the exploration team.
"Ah...bah..." The unlucky exploration team member spit out the dust that was raising into his mouth. It was different. His face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a duck egg into it.
Zhou Qing knew that he had made a mistake, so he picked up a water bag and handed it to the exploration team member: "I'm sorry, rinse your mouth!"
However, the exploration team member did not take the water bag at all. Instead, he lowered his head and grabbed a handful of dust and blew it slowly with his mouth. When the fine sand in his hand was blown away, revealing some reddish-brown crystals in his palm.
The old exploration team member showed a sudden look of enlightenment and said, "I understand, I understand!"
Zhou Qing said in confusion: "What do you understand?"
The old exploration team member smiled and pointed to a large depression at the foot of Caiyun Mountain and said, "If nothing unexpected happened, there was water here a long time ago, and it was probably a salt water lake. Now that the lake water has been dried, a considerable salt mine is left behind!"
Zhou Qing said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
The old exploration team member pointed at several young exploration team members and said, "It's here, dig quickly!"
Several members of the exploration team picked up folding engineer shovels and quickly dug out the gravel on the surface. The five or six exploration team members dug out a sand pit after a meal.
A member of the exploration team said: "Zhou Tongjun, it's the end!"
The old exploration team members used a chisel to make a white rock block at the bottom. They stuck out their tongues and licked it on it, saying, "That's right, it's the salt mine. You guys go to other places to see how big the salt mine is!"
...
Chen Ying was punished by Li Xiuning, and finally proved that there were only exhausted cows and no broken fields. In the past few days, Chen Ying was burned into dark circles, and Chen Ying was in pain and happy at this time.
Looking at the investigation report brought by Zhou Qing in front of me.
Chen Ying finally remembered this place. It was a famous scenic spot in later generations. The famous movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also filmed here. Not only does it have a large salt mine, but it also has a huge oil field. However, with current technology, it is probably impossible to mine it.
Chen Ying also knew that there was an agate mountain not far from that place, which must have been Yang Rong who had not discovered. Several years later, due to the earthquake, one of the red mountain buns was shaken and a huge gap was finally made to appear in the agate mountain.
Li Xiuning curiously picked up the exploration team's exploration team's survey report and saw that it was estimated that the salt mine would not be less than 10 million stones.
Li Xiuning said: "Yang Rong is quite cunning!"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's a blessing from heaven!"
Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Let's keep this piece of land!"
"No..." Chen Ying shook his head firmly and said, "It's better to sell it to her!"
As he said that, Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Notify Miss Yang and let her come over and sign the contract!"
Li Xiuning was very angry at the beginning, but then she thought about it and finally understood Chen Ying's intention. She tried to ask, "Are you buying horse bones with a wealth of money?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Not bad!"
Chapter completed!
