When Yong Chang came back from the army, it was already ten days later. The rumors outside were suppressed by another more attractive topic. Yan Mu'an didn't say much about it. He just informed the clan generals who wanted to send him to Yong Chang. Bring all the men who have gone to the city.

This time Yan Mu'an didn't choose. As long as it was delivered, there was no reason to return it. He accepted everything as ordered. Naturally, Yongchang had no objection. He listened to the princess on these matters, not to mention that these people didn't need him to eat or drink. Responsibility, they all bring it.

"Auntie, can't you take us with you?"

The three Yongxu brothers were dejected, "Just take us there, we will definitely obey."

Yan Mu'an said: "Have you all forgotten your identities?"

"As soon as your uncle leaves, your father will have to fight alone. All you have to do is practice diligently while helping your father."

"Your uncle doesn't need your help for the time being. When you have the ability, come to Yongcheng to see your uncle. At that time, your uncle will have to praise you."

The three brothers looked grave, and stopped talking about going to Yongcheng, and started to work more diligently.

In the evening, Yan Mu'an asked about the gold mine. Yongchang couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed. He said that he had been looking up along the stream and then found a deep trench that was bottomless. That deep trench comes out, and the deep trench is connected to the underground river, and there is no way to get in."

"We also found a lot of gold along the way. Now we just need to find out how deep the trench is and how much water there is. If the water is dry, we can use a rope to get down."

"Let the emperor worry about this matter."

He is going to Yongcheng and can't care that much.

Before that, Yan Muan had asked Sister Silly to check the probability of finding a gold mine in this situation. The information found by Sister Silly showed that many outdoor adventurers would find gold in underground rivers, but the amount was not too much, but it should be It has been mined a long time ago. This one in Southern Qi is definitely new, and there may be a big mine.

"We need to let people who know the mineral veins search in detail. Don't just focus on the underground river, but also search in the surrounding places. This is not afraid of taking a lot of time. If it turns out to be true, it will be serious."

Yongchang thought so too. He didn't believe that the gold would appear for no reason. There must be a bigger gold mine. "It would be great if it could be discovered. The cost of moving the capital is simply unaffordable with the current state of the national treasury, especially if the new one is built in Yongcheng." Palace, this money is still not available."

Yan Mu'an was curious, "How much money is the emperor planning to spend on building the palace?"

Yong Chang shook his head and said he didn't know yet, but he could refer to the construction cost of a general palace. "The palace where the people of Tiansheng lived earlier cost 300,000 taels. If it is a new construction, why can't it cost several million taels?"

"Your horizons still haven't been opened."

The silly elder sister checked the information for Yan Muan on this question. Not only the Forbidden City, but also the Old Summer Palace spent more than 500 million taels of silver in the 150 years before and after. How much did the national treasury earn per year at that time?

About 40 million taels of silver.

[Nan Qi’s new imperial palace definitely doesn’t need 500 million taels of silver, but let alone 500 million taels. Fifty million taels of silver can directly kill the emperor. 】

[Poor, so poor. Whether the emperor can afford five million taels in a dignified manner is a question. 】

[No wonder the palace needs to be built for more than ten years and cannot be allocated money every year? No one can bear to dial it out at once. 】

The corners of Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly. He really had never seen much of the world. Not only him, but also his imperial brother had never seen fifty million taels of silver. The highest year in Southern Qi's year, the national treasury received twelve million taels of silver. He My brother was so happy that he almost went crazy. As a result, there was a disaster the next year and the money was spent again. He almost died of heartache.

Yan Mu'an felt that it was useless to encourage such things, so he could only comfort him, "It's okay, we'll take our time and it will be fine."

Yongchang said "Hmm" and felt that what the princess said was absolutely right. He was just a poor man.

His brother is also a poor man.

At night, while Yan Mu'an was asleep, Yongchang put on his night clothes and climbed over the wall again. Not long after, he appeared in front of the emperor's bed. The emperor in his sleep opened his eyes as if he was sensing something. When he saw it, he was sitting on the edge of the bed and watching. His Yongchang, the emperor jumped up and said, "You bastard, do you want to scare me to death?"

"You can come and go from my palace like this?"

Yongchang glanced at him again, "Is it because the palace is too small?"

emperor......

"After I move the capital, I will build a big one and have many guards to guard you."

Yongchang nodded and told him that it would take at least ten years to build a new capital. "Brother, the emperor must take good care of himself."

"By the way, if you want to build something magnificent, magnificent, noble and luxurious, you will need at least 50 million taels of silver. Your Majesty Brother must be more diligent."

The emperor was almost furious, "You came here in the middle of the night just to piss me off?"

Fifty million?

Do you think he is the emperor of Tiansheng?

Yongchang sighed, "Aren't I here to tell you where these fifty million taels of silver come from?"

"Oh, tell me quickly."

The emperor's eyes flashed and he rubbed his hands excitedly. Yongchang glanced at him with disgust, feeling that his brother was like a fly at this moment.

When he learned that Yongchang's solution was to find the gold mine properly, the emperor rolled his eyes. Does this even require him to go to the palace?

He knew there was gold but could he let it go?

I wish I could just move the mountain.

Yongchang smiled and said, "If the gold mine is discovered by the emperor's brother, our Southern Qi will be developed. If we need silver, we can just refine it directly. The emperor's brother is equivalent to sitting on a gold mountain, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

The emperor laughed again, and Yongchang told him several other things. After Yongchang climbed over the wall and left, the emperor was still thinking about his gold mountain, so much so that he dreamed of mining a lot of gold and countless washbasins at night. All the big and small gold nuggets rolled down from the mountain. Countless soldiers shouted long live. He laughed loudly. Suddenly, another huge gold nugget rolled down from the top of the mountain. It was about to crush him into a meat pie. "Ah" A sudden awakening occurred, and the chamberlain stood respectfully in front of the bed, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

The emperor was extremely regretful that the gold he received turned out to be just a dream. Who can accept this?

The mood in the morning court that day was quite bad, and the courtiers began to think again. They guessed that it must be the matter that all the clan families sent their sons to the palace yesterday. Speaking of this, each family was a little excited, and they also wanted to send their own sons to the palace. Son and son were sent to Yongcheng together. Since he had chosen to follow the prince, it would of course be more reassuring to have one of his own by his side.

As a result, countless gifts were delivered to Yan Muan. Yan Muan sighed quietly. Since everyone had sent money, what could she do?

Of course, accept it and arrange it.
