Chapter 233 The World Shakes Again
Looking at the fallen people, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
You see, I have already reminded you, if you don’t believe it, you underestimate me and the prince too much, right?
At this time, Ying Zheng only felt that he was much younger, and he was not refreshed.
It took a long time for Feng Quji to react and said in disbelief:
"What His Majesty just said was gold?"
Fifty thousand catties of gold can be mined every year, and it can be mined for 20 years.
This is 100 million catties of gold!
The entire treasury of the Great Qin State does not add up to so much.
"It's not gold, is it still copper coins?"
Ying Zheng rarely joked:
"My dear friends, prepare first, the real surprise is yet to come!"
"and also?"
"I have copper coins and gold, so what's left is silver mines?"
"It's the biggest surprise to be ranked last, how much silver mine do you have?"
"It seems that the national treasury will be expanded several times!"
"hiss!"
This time, all the civil and military officials present gasped in unison.
You must know that Daqin had actually considered long ago to replace copper coins with silver as the main currency.
It has not been implemented. In addition to the inability to determine the specifications of silver coins, the biggest problem is insufficient reserves.
The silver mines that Daqin has discovered so far are either too small in reserves or too difficult to mine.
Therefore, it has not been able to become mainstream for a long time.
Now Daqin is really rich.
The civil servants are calculating how many new projects can be opened and how many projects can be accelerated.
The military generals are planning to train more elite soldiers and strong generals after they have sufficient military expenditures, so that they can continue to expand their territories!
This time, they really felt the benefits brought about by expanding their territory.
"Your Majesty, the minister is ready, so read it quickly!"
Nestern took a deep breath and said excitedly.
The rest of the officials are also looking forward to it.
Looking at the eager officials, Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"The biggest harvest this time is the discovery of a silver mine on Fusang Island. According to the Prince's estimate, its reserves are at least 2000 million catties!"
"Moreover, it is very convenient to mine. If it is mined day and night regardless of the cost, the annual output is likely to exceed 50 catties!"
"boom!"
Nestern was so excited that he couldn't help himself, then staggered, and actually passed out.
Fortunately, Xia Wuqie rushed to rescue Nei Shiteng quickly.
The rest of the court officials were not much better.
50 catties, according to 16 taels per catty, that is a full 800 million taels!
According to the ratio on the market today, one tael of silver can be exchanged for at least two hundred copper coins (Qin Ban Liang is much heavier than other copper coins, almost five times)!
Although after silver is produced on a large scale, this ratio will be reduced a little.
But at least it can reach one to one hundred!
This is a full eighty million yuan!
Enough to truly replace copper coins and become the mainstream currency of Daqin!
Daqin has become completely rich!
At least for a few years, there is no need to worry about running out of money.
And a few years later, with the ability of His Royal Highness, Daqin might fly to the sky.
For the first time, all civil and military officials showed greedy eyes together.
It turns out that great voyages and expeditions to foreign lands have such terrible benefits!
So what is Daqin waiting for?
All the courtiers have only one thought at the moment, that is, Great Qin must unify the world.
All wealth must be returned to Daqin.
......
At the end of the court meeting, the news that Ying Yu took Fusang Island came out, and the world shook again!
"Have you heard that His Royal Highness created a myth on Fusang Island again!"
Inside the restaurant, Mr. Storyteller knocked on the gavel and said with a smile on his face.
Nowadays, as the people of Daqin live better and better.
More and more people came to drink, make tea and listen to books, and their hands became more and more generous.
The income of these storytellers has also become more abundant.
They naturally supported and admired Ying Yu who changed everything.
And what the people of Daqin like to hear the most is the story about the crown prince Ying Yu.
Ying Yu's popularity and prestige in the hearts of the people is absolutely unparalleled.
"Isn't it normal for His Royal Highness to destroy Fusang Island? A mere Fusang barbarian is also worthy of being my Great Qin opponent?"
"That's right, what kind of myth is this?"
In the restaurant, several guests suddenly burst into laughter.
Today's Great Qin, after the continuous expansion of territory and the coming of all nations, the pride of the people is extremely high.
At the same time, the vision is also much higher.
Fighting the Maurya Dynasty and the Romans might make the common people nervous.
As for the barbarians on Little Fusang Island, the people really didn't take it seriously.
"That's right, His Royal Highness is the god of war in the sky, and destroying a Fusang Island is not a matter of moving a finger."
The rest of the diners also booed one after another.
"It's different this time. According to the information disclosed by the Insect Mansion, His Royal Highness not only conquered Fusang Island, but also found a super mountain of gold, silver and copper on it!"
The storyteller laughed and said, "The quantity will definitely scare you to death!"
"You're not making up a story, are you?"
Some diners were suspicious.
With the rise of the industry of storytellers, various fairy tales and novels became popular in Daqin.
In order to attract the audience, the stories made up by these storytellers are more or less related to Ying Yu.
"How dare I create rumors about His Royal Highness?"
"This time what I say is true!"
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly urged: "How about the specifics, tell me quickly!"
"Everyone, please be prepared first, so as not to be frightened later!"
Mr. Storyteller deliberately sold off the truth.
"Okay, I bought your wine today, if you don't tell me, don't blame me for cleaning you up."
"This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered the real mountain of gold and silver from Fusang Island.
By the way, there is also the Copper Mountain. It is said that the Copper Mountain alone has at least tens of thousands of catties! "
"There are countless silver mountains and golden mountains!"
The storyteller said in an astonishing tone.
"Thousands of catties? My God, how much is this!"
"If they are all cast into copper coins, they can fill the entire city of Xianyang, right?"
"Let's not talk about Xianyang City, it's probably not enough to add Hanzhong County!"
"Then isn't our Daqin sent out?"
No wonder in today's newspaper, the court has added millions of employment places.
I guess it's true!
"His Royal Highness, this has benefited us and the common people again. The drinkers all gasped."
"His Royal Highness said before that this great voyage is the future of Da Qin. I still don't believe that Ru Ling really wants to apologize to His Highness!"
A young man dressed as a scholar spoke with an unbelievable expression on his face.
Then he stood up and bowed in the direction of Yuxuan Pavilion.
"This...isn't this robbing a foreign country? Doing so is against the sage's tolerance and benevolence, and it is not the way of a gentleman!"
A Confucian scholar whispered with an ugly face.
"Sage, sir, His Royal Highness is my Daqin sage!"
"Your Highness said that tolerance is for one's own people, and kindness for enemies is cruelty for one's own people.
People who are not of my race must have different hearts, do you understand? "
"Hmph, I am annoyed by you Confucian scholars who chatter all day long, hurry up and get out of here, sir, I am in a good mood today, or I will make you kneel down and apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
This Confucian scholar immediately became the target of everyone's cannonballs.
After a frenzied bombardment, he could only run out of the restaurant in despair.
