After Li Kuan finished speaking, the scene did not fall into a warm atmosphere.

On the contrary, it was a bit cold.

Actually, this is a bit different from what everyone imagines.

"Take us to make a fortune?"

As the governor of Dengzhou and the largest businessman in Dengzhou, Chun Yunan naturally could not let things go on like this.

"That's right! Take everyone to make a fortune!"

Li Kuan emphasized again.

Chun Yunan felt that his brain was a bit exhausted, so he tried to ask: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to lead an army to Goguryeo this time? Do you mean that when you return in triumph, you will stay in Dengzhou to instruct everyone and lead everyone

Discover new opportunities to make money?”

"Do you think that fighting is all about spending money and not making money?"

Is not it?

Chun Yunan really wanted to express what was in his heart.

However, what he showed in the end was an awkward yet polite smile.

Even though Chunyu's family was a hegemon in Dengzhou, it was still not enough in front of the Prince of Chu's Palace.

"Goguryeo is right opposite Dengzhou. Everyone here should know something about it. In addition to ginseng and mink skins that everyone is familiar with, Goguryeo has accumulated a lot of wealth over hundreds of years."

Goguryeo was officially founded in the second year of Jianzhao, that is, 37 BC.

After that, it continued to expand and reached its peak in the sixth century.

Especially in the years from the eighth to the tenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times. As a result, Goguryeo defeated the Sui army and left the huge amount of materials, craftsmen, and soldiers carried by Yang Guang in Goguryeo.

It has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and now with a helpless teammate like Yang Guang, Goguryeo's people's livelihood construction has actually been booming in the past twenty years.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the strength to build the Great Wall of more than a thousand miles in Liaodong.

"What His Royal Highness the King of Chu said is quite reasonable. I have been to Goguryeo several times. Although the life of the common people in Goguryeo is much worse than that in the Tang Dynasty, many people are still in a state of not having enough to eat.

But the lives of the nobles of Goguryeo were actually very good. All the luxury goods transported by our merchants were quickly sold out. The most important thing is that there seemed to be gold mines in Liaodong. Many nobles of Goguryeo lived in their homes.

They have saved a lot of gold."

Shopkeeper Lu, who was engaged in overseas trade, couldn't help but stand up and echoed.

"Indeed, although Goguryeo's mining technology is very poor, the number of gold mines is really large; and they not only have many gold mines, but they also seem to have many iron ore and coal mines, but they are not very good at it.

Utilization, so the scale of mining is not large.”

Wang Xuance added on the side.

Although Li Kuan didn't discuss with him what to expect at today's banquet, he probably still had some guesses.

"Your Highness, King of Chu, do you want everyone to go to Goguryeo to mine mineral deposits?"

Chunyu Nan tried to ask.

Wealth is sought in danger. If the Tang Dynasty really defeated Goguryeo, he would not mind going to Goguryeo to make a fortune.

Anyway, the slave-catching teams under the Chunyu family have long been in Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other places. Even if no money is made from mining by then, the Chunyu family can still make a fortune by relying on other means.

"We will discuss the development of mineral deposits later. The opportunity for making money that I want to tell you today is the supply of logistical supplies and the disposal of loot. After a while, the army will set off for Goguryeo, and by then we will completely solve Goguryeo.

All the ships there are, so that there is no other force on the water. If you are interested, you can transport the military supplies needed by the army to the designated location, and then transport the loot back.

Don't worry, although the military supplies are sold at market prices and the profit is average, you can take away the spoils at 20% of the market price. Of course, you take them away from Goguryeo, not after the army is transported back to Dengzhou.

Come and take it away.”

In order to minimize the logistical pressure and weaken Goguryeo's effective strength to the greatest extent, Li Kuan prepared to mobilize all the forces in Dengzhou and let all ships that could go to sea follow the army to take a piece of the pie.

Anyway, as long as you don't go ashore casually and float in the water, there is no danger.

"Your Highness King Chu, can you be more specific?"

Chun Yunan saw the expressions of interest on everyone's faces, so he simply stood up and asked another question.

…

Dengzhou is a lively city.

In the past few days, with the arrival of Li Kuan, this brand-new city has become even more lively.

"Father, you are just a broken fishing boat. Although you can barely go out to sea, why do you take risks with it?"

In a workshop in the southeast of Wendeng County, in an ordinary house, a woman who still retains her charm is packing her things.

"Opportunity! This is an opportunity! Haven't you heard everything? This time, as long as the ships go to Goguryeo, they can follow the army and rob the Goguryeo people's property at will, and all the property will only be returned when they return.

You only need to pay 10% of the city shipping tax! This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"But you brothers, no matter how strong you are, can't fight against so many Goguryeo people."

The woman was obviously worried about her man's safety.

"You don't understand this! Everyone who goes to Goguryeo will receive a broadsword and a crossbow. Everyone goes together, and there is no need to be afraid of the Goguryeo people. Besides, isn't there a large army of the imperial court in front of them?

?We are just cleaning the battlefield in the back and taking care of the wealth of the Goguryeo people around us."

"Then...then you have to be careful. If something cannot be done, don't force it!"

"Don't worry! I'm not stupid!"

…

"Your Majesty, in addition to the ships of the Municipal Navy and the East China Sea Fisheries, there are at least more than a hundred ships of various caravans and hundreds of fishing boats following the army. In terms of personnel, I estimate that there are more than 30,000

people."

At Wendeng Pier, Li Kuan and Wang Xuance boarded a huge clipper ship.

"More than 30,000 people? That many?"

Li Kuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many brave people.

"Your Majesty, if the number of ships at sea were not limited, this number could at least double! The people of Dengzhou basically rely on going to sea to live a good life, and they are naturally more courageous than ordinary people. This time, Your Majesty,

I personally led the troops and told the wealthy businessmen that they could make a lot of money by following the army. As word spread, naturally more people wanted to make a fortune."

Wang Xuance is quite clear about what happened in Dengzhou City these days.

However, in his opinion, such a thing could only happen if Li Kuan was sprayed.
