Chapter 378: Hidden Money for Li Chengqian

As the prince, Li Chengqian had not been to the mining area much.

The only ones I've seen in the past are a few small mines near Chang'an.

In his opinion, this mine is messy and dirty.

But after entering the Iwami Silver Mine, I realized that everything here was different from the mining area in my memory.

First there are a few neat rows of houses, like a small village.

And he also saw some plaques hanging on those houses, including a medical clinic, a clothing store, and a candy store.

If Yan Kai hadn't said anything, he would have thought this was a small village hidden in the mountains.

And I would never have thought it was a silver mine.

"Mr. Yan, what is this?" Li Chengqian was a little confused. Many of the houses here were better built than those in Kuoding County.

Yan Kai said helplessly: "Wealth and silk are attractive to people. When the time comes, those who come here to dig for silver will inevitably not be moved by the amount of silver mines they handle every day."

"I made the miners' treatment better. They always have some scruples when they attack."

He hoped that these miners would understand the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

If you steal the silver mine here, you may have to wander around the world for the rest of your life to avoid Yan Kai's pursuit.

But if you are mining here honestly, you can live a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing and get a high salary!

The mining difficulty of Iwami Silver Mine is not very high, and many of them are turf mines.

That is to say, digging away the turf above will expose the mineral deposits below.

At this time, Yan Kai had just built the entire mining area, but the mining workers had not yet been sent over.

He took Li Chengqian and a few children into the mine deposit.

After finding a few small shovels, Yan Kai said, "Come on, dig. Whoever digs up as much as he can today will be his. Go back and give him some silver jewelry."

"Really?" Wu Zetian, the lolita, became energetic as soon as she heard this, and then she started digging on the ground.

"I...I'm here to help you!" Li Zhi wanted to step forward, but unfortunately, even a small shovel was as tall as half of his body. It was already very difficult to stand firm while holding it. When it came to mining, that was impossible.

So Li Zhi could only look at Li Chengqian with his lips pursed, and sent a signal to him for help.

At this time, Li Chengqian was actually still a younger brother, and he doted on Li Zhi. He picked up the shovel and started digging according to the instructions of the craftsmen in the mining area.

After a short while, he dug out a metallic silver ore.

"Is this a silver mine?" Li Chengqian put the ore in front of his eyes and asked curiously.

"Well, this is the silver mine!" Yan Kai asked the craftsman on the side: "Master Sun, how much silver can be extracted from this piece of ore?"

"It should be less than half a catty. His Royal Highness is lucky!"

Yan Kai waved his hand to ask them to leave, then went up and put his arms around Li Chengqian's neck and said, "Chengqian, how about we discuss it?"

Li Chengqian looked at Yan Kai doubtfully: "I always feel that you have no good intentions!"

"Bah, bah, bah, am I that kind of person?" Of course Yan Kai denied it.

"I mean, I'll give this silver mine to you. When you have nothing to do, you can bring your brother, sister-in-law, and the like over to play with you. How about that?"

Yan Kai felt a little painful and drew a circle on the ground with his finger.

There was no other way. Li Chengqian accidentally found out about Shi Jian Yinshan, so he had to pay some hush money.

"So Mr. Yan wants to pay me hush money?" Li Chengqian said with a smile: "But if this is reported to the father, I think the father will definitely give me more!"

"Hey, hey, you guys are not honest!" Yan Kai complained: "This is what I earned through hard work and deception. The investment in this mine is so huge, you can't let me lose everything." Bar?"

"Pfft...hehehe!" Li Chengqian laughed: "Sometimes I really don't know whether that Mr. Yan, who is so philistine and has the world in mind, is the real you."

Then he continued: "If Mr. Yan pays a lot for the hush money, I wouldn't be able to consider it."

Yan Kai's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, you can make an offer, but for the sake of our friendship, don't go too far!"

"I hope Mr. Yan will take me with him when he goes to the Western Regions and the West." Li Chengqian made a request that Yan Kai had never thought of.

"Ah? This?" Yan Kai was a little confused: "Why do you want to go to those places?"

Li Chengqian fanned himself with his hand, found a place to sit down, and then said:

"In the past, what I learned every day was how to become an excellent prince, and then take over the Tang Dynasty from my father and become an excellent emperor."

"But after I came out, I realized that this world is so vast. We Tang people look down on the Japanese, but even this Japanese territory has some scenery that the Tang Dynasty did not have."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Yan can save Du Xiang from death, and my father is in his prime..."

He didn't say anything more at this point, but Yan Kai knew what he meant, that is, since Yan Kai could save Du Ruhui, Li Shimin, who was in his prime, might not be able to save him if he had some disease.

You must know that to save Du Ruhui, they had to use a liver transplant that they could not even imagine. Now not only is Du Ruhui looking better day by day, but Du Gou, who donated his liver, can slowly get up and move around.

Another point is that Yan Kai dug a well a few days ago, which made Li Chengqian know that Yan Kai actually had ambitions in his heart.

It's just that there are too many constraints from the government. Otherwise, Kuoding County's financial resources may not require these silver mines.

Rather than reporting it to the court, it would be better to let Yan Kai make a fortune in silence.

Yan Kai scratched his head. Although these royal children may only look twelve years old, they know it very well.

Since Li Shimin is likely to remain in power for several decades, instead of being a sensitive prince in Chang'an, Li Chengqian might as well take this opportunity to see everywhere.

No matter how shrewd he is, in the final analysis he is just a twelve-year-old child, a time when curiosity is extremely strong.

"Okay!" After understanding what he meant, Yan Kai agreed.

When an emperor is in his prime, it is indeed a very embarrassing thing to have an adult prince in the capital.

Sometimes it is not what they themselves want to do, but the ministers who support them who are eager to become ministers of the dragon and push them to do something.

It is extremely rare for Li Chengqian to understand this for himself.

"But, when we go out, we won't have to take those group of...monkeys with us, right?" Yan Kai said with a headache.

"Hahahaha." Li Chengqian was obviously much more cheerful than at the beginning. He laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Yan can also try it without any consequences from them!"

After speaking, Li Chengqian stood up and patted the dust on his butt with his hand, then picked up the small shovel next to him.

"Mr. Yan is a rare generous person today. Of course I have to help my younger brothers and sisters return home with a full load!"

He rolled up his sleeves and started digging.

"Hey, haven't you paid me the hush money? You're still mining my mine!"
