I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

That being said, the number of times these people came to Huaizhen Square was much more than that of Pingkang Square.

after all……

Go to Pingkangfang to spend money, one hundred catties go in, and eighty catties come out.

But if you go to Huaizhenfang to spend money, one hundred catties go in, one hundred two, one hundred and four come out.

Oh, by the way, there is a hidden expense to go to Pingkangfang to spend money. You have to take care of your body, otherwise, if you don’t go there a few times, you may have problems.

But when you go to Huaizhenfang to spend money, every penny is spent on yourself, look at your increasingly thick arms, look at your gradually fattening belly...

Every penny, every morsel of meat was spent on it.

Just after Chang'an City was immersed in the bustling business of snacks, Glenima finally returned to Tubo, and he did not go back alone.

He also borrowed a scholar with little research in geology from Fengchao.

This is borrowed to detect minerals and plan mine tunnels.

He has to pay two hundred Wen every day, which is six pennies a month, and he has to take care of this person's food, which makes Glenima feel pain.

But... the money was not in vain. In less than half a month, he found two sources of mines for Glenima.

One iron mine, one copper mine.

In fact... there is another gold mine, but the scholar of Fengchao didn't tell Gelenima, and he planned to report it to Wu Jue after returning to Chang'an.

After Wu Jue studied the business of merchants, he found that currency is actually a very interesting thing. The value of currency is not just a penny or two. What determines its value is how many resources it can exchange for.

The more resources that can be exchanged, the currency will appreciate.

If less can be exchanged, the currency will depreciate.

From this point of view, even Datang's banknotes are not so safe. If something happens to Datang, the currency will also experience twists and turns.

So after asking Yin Xuan for instructions, Wu Jue began to operate the bank to collect gold. If it wasn't for gold, he hadn't persuaded the court to release the right to use gold for the time being. Wu Jue even wanted the bank to open the window for gold recovery.

Gold is the most important goal on the development path of the bank.

Therefore, even if the gold mine cannot be mined now, it must be held in the hands of the bank.

Know the location of iron ore and copper mine.

Glenima went out of his way to recruit manpower, set up equipment, set up felt tents, and started digging, without any intention of hiding it.

It was half a month after the Tibetans got the news.

A small town a hundred miles away from the mine.

Juba Dongdai was drinking wine and eating mutton in the yurt, listening to his subordinates report the news.

After listening to it, he sneered: "Winter is approaching, a batch of sheep raised this year have been eaten by wolves, and there are not many left. I am worried about how to live comfortably this winter, but I didn't expect him to come to my door."

The so-called Dongdai was not his name.

But his official position.

Tubo is divided into Wuru and 61 Dongdai. The so-called "Ru" means ten thousand households, and the so-called "Dongdai" means thousands of households. This Juba Dongdai is the leader of a small tribe with thousands of people.

This year is not a comfortable year for him.

Last year's snow was too heavy, and the pastures that could supply sheep were much smaller after the beginning of spring. Later, there was a wolf plague, and a group of sheep were killed.

He had originally planned to take a group of people to Tuyuhun to plunder, and even... disguised as a horse bandit, to rob the merchants on the border of the Tang Dynasty on a small scale.

As Dong Dai, he had to keep his tribe alive.

At the critical moment when he was still hesitating, such a thing happened.

Isn't that... Just when I was thirsty, someone brought a water glass to me?
"Order the men and horses, bring a hundred riders, and let's meet this ignorant merchant." Juba Dongdai drank the rest of the wine in the bowl, stood up, sneered, and waved his whip.

The others in the tent laughed.

"Do you feel that you are great after you cling to Datang?"

"Speaking of which, he is just a dog of Datang."

"Go ahead, Datang doesn't want him as a dog."

A group of people laughed even louder.

They rode their horses and ran for two days before reaching the gate of the mine.

Juba Dongdai looked at the bustling mine, and was a little surprised: "It's really courageous to make such a big battle in private mining."

"Rush for me."

He waved his horsewhip, not intending to show any face to this famous merchant in Tubo, so he beat him first to let the breath out of his stomach.

This group of people had just rushed to the gate of the mine.

I saw something like a melon thrown out of the mine, but... the person who threw this thing seemed to have little strength, and they were still five or six feet away from them.

After landing, it rolled twice and exploded suddenly with a bang.

The horse was surprised, roared, and started to run wildly. Juba Dongdai took a long time to calm down the horse under his crotch.

He raised his head and looked into the mine, his eyes were a little suspicious.

Just now... what was it that exploded? Why does it look like Datang's thunder? Could it be... Datang's hand has already reached here?
Inside the mine.

Glenima cupped his hands to thank the scholar who came from Fengchao: "Thank you, sir, for your help."

The scholar didn't speak, but just raised a finger.

The corner of Glenima's mouth twitched, he nodded, and responded, "Mr. Tang Qian is naturally indispensable."

The scholar nodded in satisfaction and continued to read the book.

Those grenades were the three test mines sent to him by Wu Jue when he left Fengchao. They only had the power to ignite gunpowder and explode, and there were no filling fragments or anything like that.

Its function is also to show identity.

You can open your eyes and talk nonsense, saying that this person is pretending to be from the Tang Dynasty, but...you can't ignore the grenade.

Glenima took a few deep breaths and bravely walked out of the mine.

Hint to yourself in your heart.

"You are Zhengyang Gong's dog now, you are Datang's dog, don't be afraid, just bark!"

Going all the way to the outside of the mine, reining in his horse and stopping in front of Juba Dongdai, his courage gradually grew. Glenima bowed like a Tang Dynasty man, and greeted him: "It turns out that Master Dongdai is in person. What are you doing?"

He speaks Chinese, and the etiquette is also the etiquette of Tang Dynasty.

Juba Dongdai stared at Glenima, he couldn't understand Chinese, and he didn't know what this man was talking about, but the way the Tang people behaved made him feel a little more apprehensive.

That's what Glenima wanted.

He smiled slightly, and then repeated what he had just said in Tubo dialect.

"Is this mine opened by you, or by someone from Datang?" Juba Dongdai narrowed his eyes, clenched the horsewhip in his hand, and asked the question he was most concerned about.

Glenima nodded, pointed to himself: "This...of course I drove it."
