"Your Majesty, I heard that the Grand Master discovered a huge silver mountain and a bronze mountain in Japan, and can mine millions of taels of silver and millions of kilograms of copper a year."

Wang Chengen ran to Ganlu Palace in a short walk.

Since its establishment, the first useful information has finally been obtained.

The emperor who was practicing calligraphy looked up. The last stroke of the character Yong in his pen was too long, and a very good Ou style regular script was ruined.

"Tell me in detail."

The Wako Ishimi Yinshan, which has hundreds of millions of taels of silver reserves, and the Beizi Tongshan, which has a reserve of more than one billion jin of copper, is simply the largest silver-copper mine discovery in thousands of years.

Now, Zhang Chao is preparing to take Zhang Party members to join forces to Japan to dig silver mountain and bronze mountain.

"No wonder Zhang Tieqin, Zhang Chao, Zhang Jing and Pingyang are going to send troops to Japan, and they also say that the king is insulting his ministers and dies. It turns out that it is just to rob money."

Not to mention the silver and copper reserves of more than tens of billions of dollars, but to say that one can produce one million taels of silver and millions of kilograms of copper a year, it can make Cheng Qian extremely jealous.

"We must never let this silver mountain fall into the hands of the Zhang Party." Cheng Qian immediately made a decision. If they were allowed to occupy these two major mines, their strength would be even more uncontrollable in the future.

After throwing his pen down, Chengqian walked in the hall.

"Wang Cheng'en, how do you think the court can stop the Taishi and the others from occupying the mine?"

"Announced to be nationalized." Wang Chengen's mind was quick, "Now the Taishi has not announced the discovery of these two mines to the public. They had previously applied to use troops to Japan, but they were just in the name of rude attack on Japan. Since this is the case, Your Majesty might as well announce that the court had discovered these two mines, and then directly declared that these two mines were state-owned. The court organized troops to capture these two mines and sent people to mine them."

Chengqian was a little moved, but he didn't make up his mind immediately.

This method sounds good, but it is also a tiger's mouth to seize food. Two big mines are not as simple as a profit of tens of millions a year. This is a profit that lasts for decades or even hundreds of years. These two mines alone can guarantee 99% of the imperial court's future copper and silver demand.

If you grab such a big profit directly, Zhang Chao would probably turn against him no matter how good his temper was.

But he couldn't give up just like that, and gave it to Zhang Chao and the others, so that they would be stronger in the future.

"Wang Cheng'en, go and invite Changsun Guojiu to discuss matters."

Changsun Wuji was invited, and Cheng Qian said directly, "I plan to hold the two sessions!"

"Two sessions are held at this time?"

The meetings of the two houses of Parliament are held at the end of each year, and they are not usually held.

The most important thing in the parliament is the upper house, and the most important thing in the upper house is the six departments. Usually, the two members of the assembly supervise the court and impeach officials' power, but in this regard, they are not as professional as the Censorate.

Even if it is the Two Sessions, it is more of a form.

"What are your plans?"

"Have you heard of the discovery of the super-large silver ore of copper ore in Japan?"

Changsun Wuji really didn't know about this. This matter is still very confidential now. All he knows is Qin Qiong and others who Zhang Chao was going to join, but Wang Chengen's flying cavalry is indeed quite powerful. They immediately reported this matter to the emperor when they discovered it.

After listening, Changsun Wuji was shocked.

"Is this true?"

When Yili discovered the big gold mine, she could mine at most 100,000 taels of gold a year. The many gold mines discovered by the Zhang family in Luzon only produced more than 200,000 taels of gold a year.

Now, a silver mine in Japan can produce several million taels of silver annually?

"Zhang Chao is ready to take Li Jing, Su Lie and Qin Qiong to the Japanese mining department to mine."

"It's so hateful!" Changsun Wuji was very angry when he heard this. Zhang Chao didn't take him with him when he encountered such a good thing.

"Your Majesty wants to interfere in this matter through the Two Sessions?"

"I think so. Since Zhang Chao and the others want to take it alone, I can't let them go. I convened the Two Sessions and announced that the court had discovered these two large mines. Then I want to form two mining companies, publicly sell 40% of the shares to the representatives of the Two Sessions, and then jointly develop the two mines with the shareholders."

Chengqian felt that it was not advisable to have the imperial court, so he would bring other nobles and merchants together.

First, the two mines were discovered, then the state-owned ones were sold, and 40% of the shares were sold, allowing the noble merchants to participate.

In this way, the imperial court could make a lot of money by selling two mines at once, and then each company invested and established such two mining companies and jointly developed them together.

This idea surprised Changsun Wuji. The emperor's idea was really great.

On the same day, Cheng Qian released a news that officially announced that the imperial court had discovered two large minerals in Japan, announced the location and reserves of the two mines, and then announced that the two minerals belong to the founder, the Tang Dynasty royal family.

At this time, Cheng Qian used some tricks. These two mines were not owned by the state, but owned by the emperor. In this way, the mine became his private property.

Immediately afterwards, he announced that the emperor would sell 40% of the shares of the two mines, and then the emperor and the shareholders who purchased the shares jointly developed the two mines.

One stone shocked thousands of waves.

Zhenguo Princess Mansion.

Pingyang was very unhappy. He just reached an agreement with a group of people to jointly develop Japanese minerals yesterday, but something happened today.

Who revealed this news?

Qin Qiong held the teacup and his face was solemn.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would get the news first, but now they are taking the lead. What should we do?"

When they sued the emperor, they proved that they discovered the mine first?

"I'll send a letter to Sanlang immediately and ask for his opinion."

"I'm afraid it's too late. No matter how fast Feixin is, it will take more than ten days to go to Liuqun and Luzon. But the emperor is about to hold the two sessions!"

The emperor held the Two Sessions at this time, which was actually a disguised bidding meeting. The auction of 40% of the mineral equity would be the highest.

But the emperor was obviously wary of Zhang Chao and his team's wealth and robbery. It is said that the emperor intended to have 40% of the shares this time, 30% of the upper and lower houses, and each of the total shares was issued 100,000 shares, and each hundred shares were one hand.

A total of 400,000 shares were issued, with a total of 4,000 hands. Each member of the two houses could only buy one hand.

In this way, if you want to buy more stocks, you will not have enough financial resources.

Even if the Zhang family is rich in the world, the Zhang family has a total of forty titles, plus Pingyang and the daughters of two eldest princesses, his family is only forty-three. Including the private congressmen of the Zhang family in the House of the House of Commons, there are only a hundred people. If they have not yet officially won the seats of the parliament and have been in the court and therefore have been in the parliament, the Zhang family can buy at most about one hundred hands, only ten thousand shares.

Convert only 10% of the shares.

At this point, you still have to bid for it.

After the sale, the money was paid, and the money was bought. If you invest in the stock, you had to invest in the minerals based on the shares. You had to pay twice before and after. The most important thing was that you could only get a very small amount of stocks.

Even if the Zhang family can acquire shares from other companies afterwards, the capital will be huge.

Besides, who is willing to give up such an advantageous asset?

"We firmly oppose the emperor's plan." Su Lie said.

Qin Qiong sighed, "But the situation is not good for us now, and it is very passive. The emperor seized the opportunity this time. He announced that he would sell 40% of the shares to the two members of the meeting. Everyone has the opportunity to buy such an advantageous asset. Who do you think will object?"

It is true that the Zhang Party claims to be a new party and reform party, and the government and the opposition have a great influence in parliament.

But now it involves the personal rights and interests of these congressmen themselves, who will follow them to oppose the emperor?

If you agree to the emperor's plan, everyone can get a share of the pie, but if you oppose it, Zhang Chao and the others will have to go. Who is stupid?

"We should have made it public if we had known it." Su Lie was upset.

"But if the emperor made it public too early, the emperor would also find excuses to seize it. As long as the emperor brought the noble merchants with him, wouldn't everyone be more willing to get a share of the pie?"

Xu Jingzong, who had never spoken, said, "In fact, it is not impossible to solve the problem. The emperor seized the opportunity this time, but he also made a mistake, which was that he was too greedy. He declared the two mines owned by the emperor, not the imperial court."

"So what?" Guo Xiaoke asked.

Xu Jingzong smiled.

"So, the solution is here. Since Your Majesty wants to cause trouble in the parliament, we will solve it with him in the parliament. At that time, we can propose in the parliament that these two mines should be nationalized and belong to the court but not to the emperor's private person, and then propose that the court bidding and allow private persons to contract and mine."

"In this way, we can bring all the nobles or congressmen to form a joint mining company, and issue stocks publicly, and subscribe to them by the nobles and congressmen themselves. In this way, everyone has the opportunity to invest. Those with money will invest more, and those without money will invest less. Moreover, the money for investment is directly the development capital, and there is no need to invest according to the shares."

In this way, although it is not worth more than the previous development plan, they at least have some losses compared to the emperor.

The most important thing is that it is not cheaper to the emperor.

According to Xu Jingzong's plan, the mine was owned by the government and the court transferred the contract. The nobles jointly contracted and developed, issued shares, and the nobles subscribed, and held shares according to the subscription ratio.

The court had to pay contract fees and taxes, while the nobles paid less and took more shares.

Anyway, there is nothing to do with the emperor.

"If this plan is really taken out, the emperor will probably be very angry."

"So what?" Xu Jingzong said disinterestedly. The emperor snatched food with his ministers, and the food was too ugly, so don't blame the ministers for turning over the table.

If you subscribe with financial resources, they will definitely have more financial resources. As long as the stock price is raised a little, many people will consider whether it is cost-effective.

Even if you still want to buy it, it will be limited by financial resources.

"Our losses are still huge. Originally, these two minerals belong to us, but now they have to be distributed to everyone."

"But it's better than being directly taken away by the emperor?"

Pingyang nodded and approved Xu Jingzong's strategy of using poison to fight poison.

"It's too late to ask Wen Yuan first, let's follow this plan first. Since the emperor is going to attack us at the two sessions of the House of Representatives, don't blame us for fighting back."

"I want to win over the representatives of the Two Sessions so simply, the emperor is still too young. He knows it, and we know it even more." Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said.
