When the two returned to the study, Du Qi said, "Let's get back to the main topic. Let's talk about the gold mine that Bard mentioned. If a gold mine is found, and the gold is of good quality. Then it will be very helpful to our Tang dynasty bank. "
"After all, our bank relies heavily on the circulation of our own money."
"Once we have the gold mine as our backing, then the bank will truly become a colossus that will be unshakable. Therefore, you must do a good job with the gold mine. "
Du Qi was determined to get the gold mine.
This was the key.
Liu Zhengxi said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do it well."
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi continued, "Your Highness, I have one more thing to do. Since yesterday, I have recruited many people. These people will be working in the Prince's Mansion. Although the Prince's Mansion is quite spacious now, it can't accommodate so many people! After all, it involves craftsmen, scholars, and other warriors. There are too many people. Although the Prince's Mansion is spacious now, it can't accommodate all of them. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Since it can't accommodate them, buy a house near the Prince's Mansion and incorporate it into the Prince's Mansion area. This way, the Prince's Mansion area will become bigger, and there will be an office area. "
"In addition, the craftsmen are key. They must be properly arranged. Especially Kun Da, Tang Zhongsheng, and the others, they must be carefully arranged. Currently, the division of the six divisions in the Prince's Mansion is not clear enough. Now that there are enough people, you can arrange them and divide the responsibilities of the Prince's Mansion. "
"Of course, I still hope to arrange these people individually."
"For now, let's arrange them for now."
Du Qi had plans for Kun Da, Tang Zhongsheng, and the others. He hoped that they would specialize in research.
It would be easier to improve technology.
"I understand."
Liu Zhengxi replied solemnly.
Du Qi said, "The Prince's Mansion is just being built. Everything has just started. If you have any ideas, just say it. There is no need to worry. As long as it is reasonable, I will support you. We have just started and there are many ideas that we can try. Once we have countless areas under our control, the governance will be different. We will not dare to act rashly. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness is wise."
Changing the topic, Liu Zhengxi talked about some of the things happening in Yiwu County.
After that, Liu Zhengxi left.
Du Qi didn't feel any pressure in governing Yizhou because it wasn't a big place. With Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others, as well as Luo Yansheng, the local provincial governor, there wouldn't be any trouble.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. "Your Highness, I, Dan Yangzi, would like to see you."
Du Qi said, "Come in."
The door creaked open and Dan Yangzi entered. At this time, Dan Yangzi had already washed up and changed his clothes. He had regained his sage-like appearance. However, Dan Yangzi's essence, energy, and spirit were slightly weaker than before. After tormenting himself for a while, his body couldn't take it anymore.
Dan Yangzi said respectfully, "Your Highness, I can't thank you enough for saving my life. If Your Highness hadn't saved me today, I would've died here today. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "There's no need to thank me. You are This King's person, saving you is what This King should do. Moreover, This King can only do this much. If you can't recover, This King can't do anything. "
At this time, Dan Yangzi took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it in front of Du Qi.
Du Qi said, "What is this?"
Dan Yangzi said solemnly, "Your Highness, this letter records a pill formula. Please rest assured, This isn't a longevity pill recipe, nor is it a recipe for immortality. It's just a type of pill. "
"This pill can allow one to explode with tyrannical strength for a short period of time after consuming it."
"However, this pill has a certain drawback. The user will feel a little absent-minded after consuming it. However, he would be able to recover after a short period of recuperation. Although Your Highness doesn't need this pill recipe, this pill can be effective at times when soldiers have no choice but to increase their strength. "
Dan Yangzi said solemnly.
He had developed this pill formula himself, and it was extremely important to him.
Du Qi looked at the pill recipe in this letter, but he smiled.
Inside this medicine, there were components of Five Stones Powder and also stimulant ingredients. In the end, it was to make people go crazy with excitement. In exchange for an explosion of strength in a short period of time. However, being able to concoct such a medicinal pill in this era was indeed not simple.
Du Qi asked, "Dan Yangzi, this pill recipe was developed by you?"
"Yes!"
Dan Yangzi said, "Replying Your Highness, when this humble Daoist was developing medicinal pills, I accidentally produced this medicinal pill. To this humble Daoist, this pill recipe isn't very useful. But to Your Highness, it can come in handy. "
Du Qi said, "It is indeed somewhat useful."
This medicinal pill was very unorthodox, but it could also come in handy at critical moments. Hence, Du Qi nodded and said, "Your medicinal pill, This King will accept it."
Dan Yangzi said seriously, "Being able to help Your Highness, this humble Daoist can rest assured. Your Highness, this humble Daoist is preparing to take leave. "
Du Qi asked, "Why?"
Dan Yangzi's expression was solemn as he said seriously, "Your Highness is this humble Daoist's savior. This humble Daoist cannot deceive Your Highness. Previously, Your Highness asked this humble Daoist if he knew the materials for refining medicinal pills such as sulfur and saltpeter. This humble Daoist indeed knows. "
"But such materials can still be obtained by asking some of the major medicinal herb merchants. This humble Daoist is actually a corpse and does not have much use for Your Highness. "
"This humble Daoist has always been greedy for the mortal world and wants to become an official in the mortal world. This humble Daoist can deceive others, but not Your Highness. After all, this humble Daoist does not know the art of governing a country, and also does not know how to lead an army and fight a war. "
"Even if you can observe the stars, in fact, most farmers know how to do so. Because these farmers have to look at the sky to make a living. "
"This humble Daoist's ability to observe the stars is also learned from farmers."
Dan Yangzi was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges.
Du Qi saved him, so he was unwilling to deceive Du Qi. He was even more unwilling to use Du Qi to become an official and borrow Du Qi's resources to refine medicinal pills. He could not do such a thing.
After hearing this, Du Qi laughed and praised, "I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person. Not bad, this King likes you."
Dan Yangzi said, "Your Highness is too kind."
Du Qi continued, "Speaking of which, this King values you not because you can govern the country, nor because you can lead the army to war. It's only because you know the materials for refining medicinal pills that I accept you. You have special tasks to do under this King, so you don't have to worry about anything. "
While speaking, Du Qi stood up and took a book from the bookshelf at the side.
It was an overview of gunpowder.
This book described the development of gunpowder, as well as the development of landmines and grenades. This was Du Qi's most confidential book.
Du Qi took the book and looked at Dan Yangzi in the study. He smiled and said, "Dan Yangzi, can this King trust you?"
Dan Yangzi said, "Your Highness, this humble Daoist is not a beast and does not know how to be grateful. Your Highness has saved this humble Daoist. This humble Daoist can't repay such a great favor even if I try my best. If this humble Daoist were to betray or betray Your Highness, this humble Daoist will die a horrible death. Arrows will pierce my heart and I will die without a burial place. "
The ancients attached great importance to oaths.
Dan Yangzi directly swore in a moment of desperation, which showed how much importance he attached. Du Qi was his savior. How could he betray Du Qi? This was absolutely impossible.
