The outside world has great potential!

When Li Yixie was listening to Li Kuan’s speech at the Guanshishan Academy Lecture Hall, he felt that this sentence was a slogan that Li Kuan shouted to fool everyone to go out to sea.

However, when the spice islands in Nanyang, the large gold mines in Australia, and the large silver mines in South America appeared one after another, Li Yixie had no doubts about this.

It’s not just about having great potential, it’s just about having great potential!

"Li Langjun, from a preliminary analysis, with the stream in this canyon as the center, with three miles of eyes on both sides, and then heading forward to the mountain in front, all of which belong to the silver mining area. As for how thick the ore layer below the ground is, I have no way to confirm it yet, but today we have collected more than 1,000 kilograms of natural silver blocks, the scale of the silver mining area here is definitely beyond our imagination, and the scale is as high as 80% more than the Japanese Ishimiji Silver Mountain!"

The day after the silver mine was discovered, Li Yixi and others did not go to other places and confirmed the overall situation of the silver mine in the silver mine area.

These information need to be recorded carefully to facilitate mining later.

Although according to Li Yixie's understanding, the possibility of large-scale development of this silver mine in a short period of time is still relatively low.

It is mainly because South America is too far away. It took nearly a year for me and my group to get from Chang'an City to come here.

Although the rest of the supply points in the middle of the journey was spent, it fully explained what the long journey was.

Even if he was asked to lead the team to this sea route again, it would be impossible to handle it without half a year.

Unless, new-style sea ships appear!

"Okay! Great! We must remember this geographical location clearly. Then build a simple stone tower next to the coast to facilitate the ships' goals here in the future."

Although he had expected such a result yesterday, when Li Yixie heard the accurate news from Yao Cheng, his face still couldn't hide his excitement.

In the next few days, the fleet continued to travel south, but I don’t know if it was time to operate.

When Li Yixie took his team ashore again and searched for traces of crops such as potatoes on a plain, he accidentally tripped over a stone.

Then……

"Damn...don't gold!"

Li Yixie was about to curse, but suddenly saw the stone that tripped him seemed very different.

Some of the dog-headed gold that Donghai Fisheries has brought back from Australia is now placed in the Treasure Pavilion in Chang'an City, and several pieces have been collected by Guanshishan Academy.

Li Yixie has not seen these dog-headed golds a lot.

Although the Li family is not short of money, there is really no natural gold as big as a dog's head in the family.

"This...this...is really a dog-headed gold!"

Yao Cheng, who was standing aside, didn't bother to support Li Yixie, but instead struggled to pick up the "stone" larger than an ordinary dog's head and looked at it hungrily.

Only the head of the mastiff golden retriever of the Yongping County Lord is so big, right?

Yao Cheng felt the weight in his hands, and the joy in his heart could not be concealed.

I am not here to prospect, but the mineral deposits are popping up by themselves.

Could this South America be a chosen place?

In the future, those teachers from the Shishan Jing Academy would dare to say to him, "I am rich in the Tang Dynasty and have a wealth of resources." I have to beat him up!

It’s still reliable to come from His Highness’s “The outside world has great potential”!

"Yao Cheng, I... am not dreaming, aren't I?"

A few days ago, at the place where the silver mine was discovered, Li Yixie also fantasized about the scene of discovering a large gold mine.

I didn't expect this scene to become a reality so soon.

When did your luck become so good?

"Li Langjun, there is also something here that seems to be gold-headed here!"

"The stone is a little shining, and it seems that there is gold inside!"

The entire team turned into gold diggers, sweeping their places to see if there were any other gold-headed gold.

"There are definitely big gold mines nearby! Although the probability of dog-head gold is higher than that of natural silver, it is good to find some natural gold nuggets the size of fists in most gold mines; for example, this dog-head gold is probably about 100 kilograms, which is really something I heard and never saw. Even the gold mines found in Australia by the East China Sea fishery have never found such a huge dog-head gold!"

Yao Cheng's words completely let down Li Yixie's mind.

A large silver mine that surpasses Ishimi Yinshan, and a large gold mine that surpasses Australian gold mines. This trip to America that "Yang Ben Man" can definitely be described as returning with a full load.

Even though he had not found the legendary high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, Li Yixie felt that he could return to Chang'an City with his head held high.

At that time, maybe Your Majesty will meet with members of the expedition team.

"This place is less than a hundred miles away from the silver mine. Two such large gold and silver mines were found in such a small area. It is hard to imagine how many gold and silver mines there are in the entire South America, or the entire America. No wonder His Highness the King of Chu has always encouraged everyone to go out to sea and continuously develop the scale of the Tang Dynasty Navy. The Maritime Governor's Office has also opened more and more branches in various places.

It seems that in addition to trade with various countries, this trip to sea can make huge profits, and it is also a huge profit to discover all kinds of unknown minerals."

Li Yixie felt that after returning to Chang'an City, he would discuss it with Aye and let the family focus on future development on the ocean.

Whether it is a shipbuilding workshop, going to sea for trade, or going directly to sea for adventure, no matter which one it is, it is very promising.

No matter how bad it is, buying a few fishing boats and going outside to catch fish or whaling is still a not-to-day time to enter. Just don’t join in the fun with everyone in Dengzhou.

"Listen to me, Guanshishan Academy will set up a special navigation academy in the future to teach everyone's navigation knowledge, and at the same time, the research and manufacturing of ships will be placed in the Navigation academy. The Datang Navy will also set up a Datang Navy Academy in Dengzhou to further protect everyone's sea trips."

As a student at Guanshishan Academy, Yao Cheng is well-informed.

In addition, Yeye Yao Mosan also has a good status in the School of Physical Studies and is considered an academic authority, so he still knows a lot.

"A Datang Naval Academy is not enough. If I want to see, I have to set up several more academies to teach everyone's relevant knowledge about sailing in the sea, and also provide various caravans with qualified sailors and crew. I heard that in Dengzhou, a sailor with more than five years of experience in going to sea has already paid a salary of five jin of money for a month, which is much better than farming."

Li Yixie and Yao Cheng continued to lead the people while looking for other dog-headed gold medals.

Before they knew it, both of them went off topic.

"I heard that the first crew members who went to Japan with His Highness the King of Chu went to sea with His Highness the King of Chu caused a great sensation when they returned to Dengzhou, because His Highness the King of Chu gave each crew member very generous rewards. Now we have discovered the Great Silver Mine and the Great Gold Mine one after another. Although we cannot directly carry a large amount of gold and silver back, if the ownership of these two silver mines is converted into money, it will definitely exceed the rewards received by the first crew members who went to sea, right?"

Yao Mosan couldn't help but feel a stir when he thought of the rewards he could receive in the future.

Although the Yao family has initially achieved basic financial freedom, it is only financial freedom in the craftsman class.

If the Yao family wants to go to another level, a stronger family background is essential.

Now, as a great contributor to the discovery of gold and silver mines, I will definitely not be able to get few shares at that time.

"When you talk about this, I remembered something. When we set out, the stock of East Pacific Company was already sold on the Datang Stock Exchange, with only one silver coin per share. Later, it rose several times in a short period of time, and then fell a lot in a short period of time. The ups and downs made many people unable to understand the situation.

When we return to Chang'an, the first thing we do is to go to the Datang Stock Exchange and take out all our money to buy the stocks of East Pacific Company. When the news that our company has discovered gold and silver mines in South America spreads, the stock price will definitely rise significantly. Relying on this alone, you can get a lot of profits."

As a noble child, Li Yixie naturally has a stronger vision than Yao Cheng.

In the entire fleet, few people are concerned about the stocks of the East Pacific Company in the Datang Stock Exchange, but after finding silver and gold mines one after another, Li Yixie thought of this.

His Highness of the King of Chu asked His Highness to issue 200,000 shares of DongPacific Company's stock at a stock exchange price of one silver coin, but it rose several times later.

Even if the current price has reached five cents of money per share, the value of the entire company is only one million cents.

According to ordinary people's understanding, a company worth one million chunks of money is already a very exaggerated existence.

But Li Yixie is very clear now that whether it is the large silver mine discovered a few days ago or the large gold mine discovered today, the value of any mineral deposit is far more than one million guan.

In this case, some people may think that the 100-month valuation of East Pacific Company is considered high?

Once the gold and silver mines begin to be smelted, the gold and silver ingots that can be brought back in a year will be more than one million guan.

So Li Yixie feels that once this information spreads in Chang'an City, the price of East Pacific Company is expected to rise several times, or even dozens of times in a short period of time.

In the long run, Li Yixie feels that the value of East Pacific Company, even an astronomical figure of 100 million yuan, is not impossible!

By then, even if the people who bought stocks first spent just one or two cents of money to buy one or two shares, they could quickly become a well-off family.

"Okay, I'll listen to Li Langjun at that time. After returning to Chang'an City, I will go to the Datang Stock Exchange immediately and exchange all my money for the stocks of DongPacific Company."

Yao Cheng was not stupid either, and soon understood the meaning contained in Li Yixi's speech.

Anyway, there is no such thing as internal trading crime in this era. No matter who it is, you can buy various stocks at will at any time.

In the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, the Datang Stock Exchange is a legal big gambling house.

Some people bought stocks here, but in less than a month, they only had a market value of a few percent.

Some people also bought stocks here, and now they have doubled.

Such stories are destined to become more and more numerous in the future.

Yao Cheng doesn't mind that he will one day become a trendsetter in the Datang Stock Exchange.

"Yao Cheng, you said we have found gold and silver mines nearby. Will there be other mine farms? I heard that the copper coins in Chang'an City are actually quite in short supply. If there is a large copper mine, it is actually of high value."

Gold, silver and copper have already had the first two items, and Li Yixie couldn't help but imagine a copper mine again.

There are mountains of gold and mountains of silver, is the bronze mountain still a dream?

Based on Li Yixie's unproven prospecting knowledge, he thought that there should be large copper mines in South America.

"Li Langjun, whether it is a gold or silver mine, it is not a separate gold and silver mine. When digging gold mines, some copper can be extracted together, and there are even some other minerals. When mining silver mines, there are very likely to be lead, so the minerals transported from America to the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be only gold and silver.

As for whether there will be a separate large copper mining area nearby, no one can say. I can only say that I hope that South America is full of gold and silver, so that at that time, it will definitely attract more people to come here to explore.

No matter how vast the land and the wealth here are, no matter how attractive the mountains of gold and silver here are, if more Tang people cannot come here, everything will become meaningless."

Yao Cheng knew very well that mining a mine required a large number of miners.

If there is insufficient manpower, the output will not be high at all, and it will become very useless at that time.

However, it is really difficult to get the people of the Tang Dynasty to come to South America by leaving their hometowns.

Especially in today's Tang Dynasty, the food problem of most people has been solved in the most basic way. In this case, if everyone wants to go out to take risks, there are probably not many people who are willing to do so.

Unless the temptation is big enough, that's another matter.

"That's true. The most troublesome thing now is that there are too few people in our country. Otherwise, we could just go through this flat ground, search out all the natural gold mines, and bring them back to the academy. It would be a major achievement."

Li Yixie understood what Yao Cheng said.

However, there are few people, which is almost inevitable, and Li Yixie is not too entangled.

It depends on whether you can find a suitable opportunity in the future, and gold mines can solve the population problems in South America.
