"That's right, it's iron ore!"

Seeing Qin Mu's interested expression, Li Chengqian nodded confidently.

That's great!

Uncle was right!

Great Qin is indeed interested!

"The goods are not bad, but I wonder what the price is?"

Qin Mu's fingertips tapped rhythmically on the table, the abrupt sound making the atmosphere even more tense.

"This..."

"500,000 taels of silver!"

Li Chengqian tremblingly extended five fingers.

But he felt in his heart that this was somewhat unlikely!

In the early Zhenguan period.

500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount!

Even in Changancheng, that is one of the top fortunes!

Just look at Li Er.

To take 100,000 taels of silver from the national treasury, he was stifled to what extent? After much pleading and begging, the Minister of Revenue, Cui Shou, finally nodded in agreement.

And that was only 100,000 taels of silver.

One can imagine.

In this era.

500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount for a country!

"Deal!"

To Li Chengqian's surprise, Qin Mu didn't even consider it, directly nodding to finalize the deal.

"Your Majesty, could you say that again?"

Li Chengqian was a bit dazed.

Damn it!

This is a deal worth 500,000 taels of silver!

And it was finalized in less than a second?

"Great Qin wants all the iron ore you brought."

Qin Mu repeated with a smile.

"Really? That's great!"

Li Chengqian stood up from his chair with a start.

He was extremely excited!

I really didn't expect it to be this simple.

Hehehe!

Bringing 500,000 taels of silver back, Uncle will definitely be very happy.

"However, I don't have 500,000 taels of silver, but I have something more precious than 500,000 taels of silver." Watching Li Chengqian, who was happy and bouncing, Qin Mu's eyes even showed a trace of pity.

"I wonder if the Crown Prince is interested?"

Sigh!

Letting such a fool be the Crown Prince, I guess Li Er must be tired enough, right?

"Great Qin Emperor, don't joke. What could be more precious than 500,000 taels of silver?"

Hearing that Qin Mu didn't have silver, Li Chengqian's face suddenly turned ugly.

Aren't you just playing with me?

This is outrageous!

"Of course there is! Crown Prince, let me tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"A few days ago, when Great Qin soldiers were building a project near Jiannan, they accidentally discovered a cave. After entering the cave, they unexpectedly found several large boxes of ancient classics and histories! Almost every one is a unique copy, which can be said to be worth a fortune."

"Is this true!?"

Hearing about unique copies of classics and histories, Li Chengqian's eyes almost shone.

Even if he were more stupid, he would understand the value of these books.

Immeasurable!

If these unique copies of classics and histories were to circulate to Changancheng, who knows how many nobles would scramble for them.

By then, it would be more than 500,000 taels of silver!

I guess 1 million taels of silver could be earned back!

"That's right, there are exactly 100 of them! I wonder if these 100 books can be worth 500,000 taels of silver?" Qin Mu looked at Li Chengqian, the smile on his mouth becoming even brighter.

"If that is the case, then naturally it is worth 500,000 taels of silver!"

"I wonder where these classics and histories are now?"

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly, unable to wait any longer.

If he obtained these books and secretly hid two to bring back to the palace for his father, he would definitely be praised!

Isn't this more precious than giving any gift?

Isn't it fragrant?

"Someone!"

Qin Mu clapped his hands toward the door.

In the blink of an eye.

Wei Zhongxian walked in with several guards carrying a large box.

"Great Qin Emperor, are these the legendary classics and histories?"

Li Chengqian's hands were trembling.

"Of course! If the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, feel free to inspect the goods!"

Qin Mu waved his hand generously.

"Since that is the case, I will respectfully obey."
