Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Chapter 319

Seeing that Li Tai was no longer a pure and innocent scholar, Chu Sheng was filled with anger.

With that said, he was going to settle accounts with Chen Chu.

Li Tai grabbed him hastily, and said, "Master Chu, it's better not to go."

"Why?"

"Chen Chu has a bad temper, I'm afraid he will beat you badly."

Chu Sheng: "..."

Listen!

Is this human talk?

He said angrily: "Your Highness, you are a man of gold, you are the King of Yue, and you are His Majesty's most trusted prince. How can you come to a barren place like Shanzhou to be a merchant? What do people in the world think, and what does Your Majesty think?" , what do the ministers of the DPRK and China think?"

Li Tai smiled slightly and asked, "Master Chu wants me to go back to Chang'an and continue to fight with the prince?"

Chu Sheng nodded: "A manly man, stand upright, make a career, and be a lowly merchant. How can he succeed? As the saying goes, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last."

Li Tai laughed, and asked: "To be a prince, or even to be an emperor in the future, must you be great?"

"That's natural!" Chu Sheng said.

In Chu Sheng's view, there is nothing in this world more comfortable than being an emperor.

There is no king in the world.

The coast of the land is not a king.

To be a courtier, no matter how noble, is only one person under one person and above ten thousand people.

But the emperor is different, the sky is the boss, and I am the second child.

Is there anything happier than this?

However, Li Tai chuckled happily. He looked at Chu Sheng with a pitiful look, and said, "In the past, this king also thought the same way, but now... I just think this kind of thinking is really ridiculous... ..."

Ever since he followed Chen Chu, Li Tai realized that this world is far from being comparable to Datang.

Going west along Shanzhou, in addition to a bunch of small countries in the Western Regions, there are also Western Turks, and further west, there is a huge empire-the Roman Empire.

And to the east, out of the East China Sea, it is not boundless, and there is a continent that no one has discovered.

It turns out that in the world, besides yellow-skinned people, there are also white-skinned and dark-skinned people.

The world is not a round place, but a ball.

All kinds of things made Li Tai shocked and unbelievable.

Thinking of the majestic and magnificent world scenery that Chen Chu narrated, Li Tai couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

Prince?

What a shit!

emperor?

What a fool!

The world is so big, I want to see it.

How can I live in Datang forever.

After all, Li Tai only heard a few words from Chen Chu's mouth, but now he said it himself, but it was a bit messy.

In Chu Sheng's view, it should be nonsense.

He stared at Li Tai dumbfounded.

Suddenly tears streamed down his face, and he wailed loudly: "Oh, Your Highness, you are crazy... It's all my fault. I shouldn't go out and travel. I should always accompany you, otherwise you wouldn't be crazy!"

Chu Sheng felt that Li Tai must be crazy when he said these nonsense, and he couldn't understand most of them.

His biggest dream in this life is to be able to assist a Mingjun.

Li Tai is talented and intelligent.

More courageous than Li Chengqian.

Both civil and military.

This kind of person is a copy of Li Er.

Therefore, Chu Sheng believes that Li Tai has the best chance of winning the throne in the future.

He has been teaching Li Tai all these years for this reason.

But now, Li Tai suddenly told him that I quit.

Chu Sheng collapsed on the spot.

A lifetime of hard work, a lifetime of goals, just like that?

He wailed.

Seeing this, Li Tai kicked Chu Sheng violently: "Shut up, Master Chu, you are crazy, your whole family is crazy..."

"Come here, tie up Master Chu and let him reflect on himself..."

"Snatching the heirloom all day is not crazy."

"Find someone to keep an eye on him!"

Li Tai gave an order.

The subordinates rushed in and tied Chu Sheng directly.

Li Tai walked away.

Chu Sheng shouted from behind: "Your Highness, Your Highness...uh..."

Then there is no sound.

Because a guard took off his shoe and stuffed it into his mouth.

……

Flaming Mountain.

Dusty everywhere.

Originally, the temperature here was high.

But now, 10,000+ people are distributed everywhere, and it is even hotter.

From time to time, I saw people being carried out, all suffering from heat stroke.

These gold diggers were all ashamed and tired.

But in the eyes, it is full of radiance.

Everyone has hope.

As long as you can dig gold, you will be prosperous.

But the Huoyan Mountain, which was originally desolate and uninhabited, was riddled with holes.

"On the tenth mountain, someone dug more than ten feet deep, and dug out a lump of gold as big as a head. [-]% of it is gold."

"On the eighth mountain, someone also dug out gold."

Similar news kept coming out.

People's nerves are stimulated again and again.

……

No.18 Hill.

In fact, it is just a low hill, but here is the territory of the Changsun family and the Cheng family.

As the first group of people to arrive in Shanzhou, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin occupied a hill domineeringly.

The two add up to more than 600 people.

Today, more than 600 people have dug more than a dozen holes.

I saw that the soil and stones beside the hill had been piled up half as high as the hill.

now.

Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji sat in a tent.

The two were shirtless, sweating profusely, but their faces were disheveled.

Although the food prepared by the West Datang Company was delicious, but in this ghost place, there was no appetite at all.

Cheng Yaojin picked up the water bag and gulped down a sip of water. In this water-scarce place, even water had to be purchased from the West Datang Company.

Cheng Yaojin drank half of it, and handed the water bag to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "Old man, I have no appetite..."

Cheng Yaojin covered the water bag tightly, put it behind his back, stared at the busy craftsmen in the distance, with a trace of bitterness on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's so strange, I dug for a month, but I didn't see anything, gold! , where is the gold..."

He'd been dreaming of digging up gold lately.

But when he woke up, all he saw was dirt.

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "Nowadays, there are 10,000+ people here in Huoyanshan, looking for gold everywhere. Every day, some people say that they have dug up gold, but the old man sent people to investigate, most of them are rumors, no one digs at all. Come out with gold...will we be deceived by Chen Chu?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head when he heard the words: "My fifth younger brother is an upright person and would not do such a wicked thing. Besides, this matter has a lot to do with it. So many people came to Shanzhou. If they find out that the gold mine is fake, everyone will rise up against it." , why don’t you eat my fifth younger brother..."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "I've had enough of these days... Cheng Zhijie, I'm planning to go back to Chang'an. Let the Changsun family leave a team here to continue digging. It's been more than a month since I left Chang'an. , I have to go back."

Originally, everyone thought that the gold mines in Huoyan Mountain were everywhere, and after they came, they just had to pick and choose.

Who knows, for such a long time, I haven't even seen the shadow of the gold mine.

Changsun Wuji retreated.

……

Chapter 320 The Actions of West Datang Company

After hearing Changsun Wuji's suggestion, Cheng Yaojin hesitated in his heart.

Immediately he said: "It's not a solution to go on like this for a long time. I also plan to return to Chang'an, Lao Cheng..."

With that said, he got up and was about to arrange the manpower.

But he was grabbed by Changsun Wuji.

"Knowledge, stop."

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji said: "In the beginning, so many people rushed into Shanzhou and came to Huoyan Mountain. Both of us have contributed a lot."

Cheng Yaojin nodded: "That's right, among other things, many people in Chang'an City only left after hearing that we were coming to Shanzhou."

Changsun Wuji looked around and said in a low voice, "During this period of time, Zhijie, you only focused on digging gold mines, but I was walking around near the Flame Mountain. The gold diggers, the tools they use, the clothes they wear, the big tents they live in, the food they eat, and even who they drink are all sold by the West Datang Company, and the prices of these things are many times higher than those in Shanzhou City. You know what that means?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head when he heard Changsun Wuji's analysis.

Changsun Wuji said a little speechlessly: "Oh, your brain... To tell you the truth, this means that the West Datang Company is making money everywhere. These 10,000+ people, do you think how much they consume every day? Among other things, the food alone can make the West Datang Company earn countless money...We all have shares in the West Datang Company, and the more we earn, when the time comes, will our dividends be the same? more?"

Snapped.

Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh when he heard the words, and said excitedly, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Just when we were busy digging gold mines, Fifth Brother and His Royal Highness the King of Yue, let the West Datang Company make money?"

Changsun Wuji frowned suddenly: "Zhijie, I feel that something is wrong with this matter, but I haven't figured out the key point after thinking hard for the past few days, but my instinct tells me that we can't stay any longer, I'm afraid that in the end It doesn't help...I want to go back to Chang'an and think about the strangeness..."

Cheng Yaojin sat beside him with an expression of what are you talking about.

He was stunned by Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji said: "Zhijie, we have to return to Chang'an quietly, and no one will know that we are leaving. Otherwise, a large number of people will definitely leave. By then, the West Datang Company will lose a lot of money."

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Immediately, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin slipped away quietly.
