Chapter 163



This was really an ocean of gold.

Even Shen lang had never seen such a scene before. He had only seen it in movies.

“Young master Shen, look at these gold coins.”

Shen lang took the gold coins and shone them under the light. He immediately noticed something different.

This was a gold coin without any patterns. It was shiny and very new, as if it had just been cast.

although we don’t know what your plan is, I think you probably need a batch of newly cast gold coins, ” said Huang Tongdao, the emissary of the heavenly Dao Association. in order to avoid overdoing it, we didn’t add any words or pictures on them.

Shen lang was once again amazed.

This heavenly Dao’s ability to see through people’s hearts was really strong.

This batch of gold coins without any labels would make Shen Lang’s plan flawless.

In this world, there were many organizations that had the right to make money. For example, in ancient China, for a long time, many people could make money. It was not until the middle and late stages of the game that the power of making money was taken away by the state.

Then in Yue country, who could make coins?

The control of copper coins was the strictest. Only the Ministry of Revenue of Yue State could make coins, and no one was allowed to make them privately. The local authorities were the most strict in cracking down on copper coins.

This was because copper coins were the easiest to fake, and the amount was insufficient.

The most important thing was that he was facing the general public, who had no ability to resist the low-quality copper coins. Once there was chaos in the copper coins, the entire country’s finances would be in great chaos.

Therefore, there were only two types of copper coins that could be circulated in Vietnam, Great Yan copper coins and great Yue copper coins.

All the imitators were killed. As for those who imitated Great Yan’s copper coins, their entire clan would be exterminated.

There weren’t many silver coins in circulation in the market, so there were about five shops in Yue State that could forge silver coins.

The State of Yue’s Ministry of Revenue, the mighty Duke’s mansion, the Western Garrison Marquis’s mansion, the hidden faction, and the heavenly law faction.

However, the yin Yuan Association and the heavenly Law Society entrusted the coin-making organization to the mighty Duke’s mansion and the West Garrison Marquis ‘mansion to make coins for military expenses.

The format of the silver coins in the country had to be unified. However, the silver coins of the mighty Duke would have an additional ” Bian ” on them, and the silver coins of the Zhenxi Governor would have an additional ” Zhong ” on them. This was a great honor.

As for the gold coins!

Other than a few money-squandering caves, there was no gold in circulation on the market at all. It was completely used for large transactions.

Moreover, those who could exchange gold coins with each other were either rich or noble, and their ability to distinguish between real and fake gold coins was already very strong.

Therefore, there were many organizations that could forge gold coins.

The monarch could, the Ministry of Revenue could, the yinyuan Association could, the heavenly Dao Association could, and even all the old aristocrats could.

As long as you had a gold mine, or even if you didn’t, it didn’t matter. You could melt the old gold coins and forge your own family emblem.

The so-called gold coins were actually equivalent to the weight of gold, which was easy to calculate.

Gold itself was a currency.

Currently, a gold coin was about seven maces of gold, with about 95% purity and above, which was about 35 grams in modern units of measurement.

When both parties used gold coins to trade, they first had to weigh the gold coins, then check the purity of the gold coins, take out dozens of gold coins, cut them open, and even measure the density of the gold using the drainage method to get the purity.

In short, gold coins were a transaction between the rich and powerful organizations, and it was basically very difficult to fake.

However, in order to avoid the trouble of inspection, people still preferred to use the four types of gold coins: the great Yan Empire’s gold coin, the Yue state’s gold coin, the hidden faction’s gold coin, and the heavenly Dao faction’s gold coin.

All the gold coins had been counted and weighed.

Not a single one was missing, and the purity was very high, even higher than the stipulated 95%.

Next, Jin Hui, Jin Zhong, and the others would personally lead an Army to transport the 20000 Jin of gold to gaze Cliff Island.

The emissary of the heavenly Dao Association, Huang Tong, wanted to speak but stopped.

“You want to negotiate about the glass, right?” Shen lang asked.

“Young master Shen, you’re really good at predicting things,” Huang Tong said.

“Mr. Huang, please follow me to my secret workshop,” Shen lang said.

......

Under Mulan’s protection, Shen lang brought Huang Tong to a secret workshop in the mountains of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

He wanted him to see the mirror-making process for himself.

Then, Huang Tong was completely shocked.

It was actually so simple?

It was just a thin layer of silver on the glass.

But on closer look, it wasn’t that simple.

This was because the purity of the silver required was extremely high. If there were impurities, the mirror would be full of holes and not as clear and bright.

And the process of silver plating was also very particular.

Huang Tong scooped up a spoonful of the melted silver liquid and looked at it carefully.

The purity was shocking. It actually felt like water.

This craft was very difficult!

Shen lang handed a thick book over and said, ” “These are all the techniques for making glass mirrors. Every process is written clearly, and there’s even an operation manual. How to make silver brighter and increase its purity, it’s all written clearly.”

Huang Tong took the book. There were more than two hundred pages, and there were more than a hundred pages of illustrations. It was really detailed.

Just a 200-page book like this could earn him a million gold coins.

Huang Tong couldn’t help but sigh. Knowledge was wealth.

“I’m amazed. I’m really amazed by young master Shen.” Huang Tong said.

If it was someone else, they might be indignant. You’re just plating a layer of silver on glass, and you actually dare to ask for a million gold coins.

It was like a very compact machine that was broken, and many people couldn’t fix it. An old master came and knocked on a certain part of the machine with a hammer, and the machine was immediately repaired. So he asked for 5000 Yuan as a reward. Many people were indignant. You asked for 5000 Yuan just for one knock. You’re extorting money.

It was indeed worthless to knock on it. He knew where to knock on it.

“There’s another piece of good news for you, young master Shen. Thanks to you, I’ll be able to enter the Council of substitute elders in the next term,” Huang Tong said.

“Congratulations,” Shen lang said.

Huang Tong took a step back, bowed, and said seriously, ” “From now on, I am willing to form a strategic alliance with young master Shen.”

This was a huge promise.

It meant that on many levels, Huang Tong would represent the heavenly Dao.

This was a truly great ally.

“I can’t ask for more,” Shen lang said.

Then, the two of them extended their arms and shook each other’s. This represented the contract.

After that, Huang Tong wanted to say something but stopped.

“It’s about the right to supply glass, right?” Shen lang asked.

“He’s not as smart as young master Shen,” Huang Tong replied.

Shen lang said, ” five years. The heavenly axiom will purchase glass from my family for five years. In five years, I’ll transfer the glass-making process and even all the workshops to the heavenly Dao Association. However, I want a 3% commission for every glass product that is produced and sold.”

This scene was very familiar.

When Qualcomm provided SoCs solutions to mobile phone manufacturers, in addition to the money from selling the CPU, they also had to collect a patent fee, which was 3 to 5 percent of the mobile phone’s price.

Of course, while earth had patent laws, this world didn’t. They were all about the spirit of the contract.

As for the so-called spirit of the contract, the key was whether you were strong enough.

If you, Shen lang, are strong enough, then you will be a strategic partner of the heavenly Dao Association, and we will definitely abide by the contract.

“Deal!” Huang Tong immediately nodded.

......

There were only three days left before he had to pay off the debt of the yin Yuan Association!

The world’s public opinion quieted down.

Countless imperial censors no longer sent any memorials to attack the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

It was like the darkness before dawn.

No, it should be the silence before a bomb was detonated.

All the public opinion attacks and emotional foreshadowing had already been in place.

Now, everyone’s appetites had been whetted, and they were all eagerly waiting for that scene.

It was the scene of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu collapsing.

She watched as his building rose, his friends were invited, and his building collapsed.

It was the destruction of a hundred-year-old family.

It was really a big show.

It’s something that you won’t be able to see once in a hundred years.

The last time was at the palace of the Earl of Dongjiang, but it was too sudden. It ended with an armed conflict.

This time, the destruction of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was the real show. It had been laid out for more than half a year.

How wonderful would that be!

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was like a dying elephant. It was on the verge of collapse and could collapse at any moment.

Dozens of vultures were circling in the sky.

They were waiting for the elephant to die so that they could dive down and tear the elephant’s body apart to grab its meat.

In the past few days, many wealthy and Noble families had come to Xuanwu city.

And more and more!

Marquis Jingan’s residence, zhenbei Marquis ‘residence, Zhenyuan Marquis’ residence, count of Jinhai’s residence, count of wuan’s residence, the new political party, the Childe of the Spice King Chi family, the young master of raging tide city, and so on were countless.

All the Inns in Xuanwu city were booked.

The price of meat, vegetables, and meat rose one after another.

There was nothing wrong here, the price of both meat had risen.

These jackals were guarding the nearest place to ensure that they could rush over at the fastest speed and bite the fat meat.

......

There were still two days to go before he had to pay his debt!

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu welcomed a guest, the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Wu an, Xue Pan.

Compared to Xue Li’s arrogance, they were two completely different people.

This Xue Pan appeared to be extremely calm, almost expressionless, as if he was born without the ability to smile, his face like it was cast from stone.

He wasn’t pretending to be cold, but he was expressionless.

my younger sister suddenly contracted a secret illness and we don’t know when she will recover. In order to not delay the rest of Prince Jin mucong’s life, we have to call off the previous engagement!

The engagement had finally been officially called off.

What secret illness? Wasn’t it just that it was rotten? moreover, it would heal in ten days at most. At that time, a layer of skin would be shed and a new tender skin would grow. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to use?

For some reason, Shen lang felt that when Xue Pan was talking about The Secret Illness, he glanced at Shen lang.

What are you looking at? It’s none of my business.

Lady su Peipei took out the marriage contract and lit it in front of Xue Pan.

Xue Pan also gently tore the marriage contract in his hands.

Su Peipei couldn’t help but say,”I hope that the Xue family won’t regret it one day.”

“Hehe.” Xue Pan said, ” Madam must be joking. I heard that uncle Black Tortoise’s health is not well. I want to visit him on behalf of my father.

“I’m not dead yet.” no need, ” su Peipei said. I don’t want to feel disgusted.

Hearing this, Xue Pan remained expressionless.

Shen lang said from the side, ” mother-in-law, ancestor Jin Lu was really a busybody back then. We should have killed the entire Xue family. Otherwise, we would have raised a bunch of ungrateful people who came to bite us today.

Xue Pan still acted as if he didn’t hear anything as he bowed and left.

......

The Earl of Wu an’s son had just left when someone came to visit!

It turned out to be Zhang Jin’s new fiancée, the king of spices in the North, the daughter of Chi Shanren, who was extremely rich.

She bowed to Shen lang and Jin Mulan meticulously, and there was no gloating expression on her face.

“Lin Mo is dead, Zhenzhen.”

“It’s none of my business,” Shen lang said.

Why did he keep saying this today?

Chi Yu said,’he was Wang Shang who replaced Xu Guangyun. Now, the Xu family and the Lin family have been destroyed.’ As a result, half of the silkworm farmers in Tiannan province suffered, and half of the farmers in Xuanwu city relied on silkworm breeding for a living. If there’s no one to collect the cocoons, it would truly be a disaster.”

Shen lang said, ” it will be the new year in less than a month. There are still a few more months before the spring silkworm. There’s no rush.

the Chi family can’t bear to see the tragic fate of hundreds of thousands of silkworm farmers, ” Chi Yu said. so we are willing to accept Xu Xiu and the silk Pavilion’s workshop, all the shops, and the entire silk industry.

Waa!

What a big move.

It was really the Xu family and the Lin family who fell, and the Chi family who ate their fill.

You were originally the king of spices in the North, and now you’ve directly dominated the silk Market in the South. You’re basically taking control of both the North and the South.

Shen lang said, ” your family has taken over the silk business. You don’t have to tell us anything. The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is busy with many things and can’t take care of you. Did you come to inform me because you want me to send a few flower baskets over? ”

Chi Yu said, ” the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu has tens of thousands of mu of good mulberry fields. If you are willing to sell them, the Chi family is willing to pay the highest price. This is because your family might be in need of money.

He was here to eat meat again.

It turns out that you’ve taken a fancy to my family’s tens of thousands of mu of mulberry fields.

My family hasn’t fallen yet, and you’re already so impatient?

However, being Zhang Pu’s fiancée was amazing. She had the right to share such a big piece of fat meat.

Originally, this banquet had nothing to do with the Chi clan.

Now, after this marriage, Chi clan had taken over the silk Market in the South, and now they were going to take over tens of thousands of mu of mulberry fields.

Chi family had really earned a lot from this marriage.

......

He had just sent Chi Yu off.

Soon, they welcomed another guest. This time, the guest came from an even bigger background.

He was the sixth Prince of the king, Ning Jing.

He was also Su Fei’s son, and Ning Zheng’s biological brother.

He was only seventeen years old and was shockingly handsome, but he was also the most frivolous one.

Her eyes were actually peach blossom-shaped, and she was in high spirits.

The clothes he was wearing were even more luxurious than Shen Lang’s.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Su Peipei brought Jin mucong, Jin Mulan, and Shen lang and bowed to the sixth Prince, Ning Jing, respectfully.

“Greetings, Yimu.”

The sixth Prince, Ning Jing, cupped his hands casually, but his eyes were looking at Jin Mulan at the side.

She was indeed very beautiful. Most importantly, her figure was too devilish.

It’s a pity that she’s been targeted by the Crown Prince, or I would have gotten her no matter what.

“I learned that uncle was seriously ill, so Ning Jing came to visit.” As the sixth Prince spoke, his eyes were looking around.

His gaze landed on Shen lang, and his eyes turned cold.

You’re just a little live-in son-in-law. How dare such a lowly person like you dress so luxuriously?

It seemed like the rumors were true.

You’re from a lowly background, so you should have been Living a Good Life, but you’re actually enjoying wealth in peace.

“Your Highness, what’s the matter?” su Peipei asked.

Ning Jing said, ” I heard that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu has been in a financial crisis recently. They owe the hidden origins sect an astronomical debt. They will have to pay it back the day after tomorrow. I am really anxious, so I came here to send money to Yimu.

Su Peipei could not help but be stunned.

He had heard of the sixth Prince before. Because of his young age, he was doted on by the king. The Marquis of Zhenyuan, su Nan, regarded this grandson as a treasure and could not wait to give him all the good things.

Therefore, the sixth Prince had been domineering, selfish, and flamboyant since he was a child. He had never left.

But now, he was actually so kind as to send money over? It was too strange.

“Someone, bring the money in.”

Then, dozens of Warriors came in carrying dozens of boxes.

Su Peipei was even more shocked.

Dozens of boxes of money was not a small amount.

But after he opened it ...

Shen lang and su Peipei were about to explode.

Of the dozens of boxes, other than two boxes containing silver coins, the rest were all copper coins.

In other words, these dozens of boxes of money were only a few thousand silver coins and a few hundred thousand copper coins.

It was less than a few hundred gold coins in total. Was he trying to send off a beggar?

“I’ve already spent all I have on this sum of money, please kindly accept it, Yimu.”

Who doesn’t know that you, the sixth Prince, are extremely greedy and have no intention of fighting for the throne? that’s why everyone Pampers you. All these years, you’ve been making a lot of money outside, who knows how rich your family is.

Now, you’re carrying dozens of boxes of silver coins. What are copper coins if not disgusting people?

Su Peipei said,”I don’t deserve it.”

The sixth Prince, Ning Jing, said, ” I am a relative of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. You are my aunt. Xuanwu city is not far from the sea and the scenery is good. I like this place very much. Moreover, the Jin clan’s Castle is well built. It’s located on the top of a mountain and overlooking all living beings. I’m going to be given this Castle after I become an adult. I like this Castle very much, and I want my father to give it to me. Aunt, don’t worry. We’re relatives, so I’ll definitely take good care of this century-old castle for you.”

Su Peipei almost exploded in anger.

Although you, the sixth Prince, are the son of the king, you should not be so arrogant and despotic.

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu hasn’t even collapsed yet, and you’re already eyeing my Castle?

Yin Yuan Association is planning to buy this Castle with hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but you want to take away my hundred-year-old castle with only dozens of boxes of silver and copper coins.

Such arrogance and despotic behavior was unheard of.

Shen lang looked at this domineering young man and started to plan.

This person would be a good thing in the future. If he was used properly, many people would die.

Of course, it would be a headache for parents to have a naughty child.

But as an enemy, I’m afraid your child isn’t a bear. The more a bear you are, the more you’ll harm your parents.

aunt, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll come back the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow would be the day the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would pay off their debts. There would definitely be a good show to watch. How could Ning Jing miss it?

......

There was still one more day before the day of repayment!

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was especially quiet today!

No one came to harass her anymore.

Xuanwu city was already packed with people.

All the greedy vultures were waiting in silence.

He stared at the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu with his greedy and bloodthirsty eyes.

Many people who did not have the power to divide the banquet also came.

They were here to watch a show.

It would be a pity to miss such a rare show.

Countless eyes were fixed on the Jin clan’s Castle, waiting for the arrival of the next day.

There would be a big show tomorrow!

......

The deadline for the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to repay their debts had finally arrived!

The weather was gloomy today. There was no sun and no rain.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

The group of people entered the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

An elder of the yinyuan Association, Shu botao, was the leader, and there were dozens of members.

The governor of Tiannan province, Zhu Rong.

He was the Minister of Revenue of Yue country, the Imperial Censorate of Yue country.

Each of these big shots was more important than the other.

In the end, uncle Wang, Ning Qi, was still in charge of this battle.

The castle Gate of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu slowly opened!

The show was officially on!
