The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 677

[Chapter 677 Reaching an Agreement]

these words came out, there was a lively discussion in the private room.

There is no doubt that everyone present knows Fang Xiu.

Naturally, we know that as long as what the Marquis of Xin’an denies is true, what the Marquis of Xin’an admits will be treated with some suspicion.

This is the experience they have gained from spending so much time in the capital.

Since the Marquis of Xin’an denies it so categorically, it means that the boatman’s story is true, and then it also means that

the Golden Land is also true in all likelihood!

After all, if the entire capital is well-informed, His Majesty ranks first and Marquis Xin’an ranks third, no one dares to rank second!

“My lord, what do you think about this matter?”

Everyone discussed for a moment, then looked at the British lord and asked.

The British Duke was the one with the highest title and highest status among everyone present.

With high status, one can naturally see far away.

The British Duke smoothed his beard, looked serious, and spoke slowly: “If this golden land really exists, and many people have found the location of this golden land, and obtained so much gold.

Then, What will definitely happen is that the value of gold is not as good as before.”

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.

If there are too many, they will naturally not have that much value.

This truth couldn’t be simpler.

Just like Liuli.

How much money did it cost to buy a palm-sized glass bowl?

What about now?

In Liulicang, a few copper coins are enough to buy one.

I heard that even the windows of that Fang Mansion are made of special colored glaze, which is simply more luxurious than the imperial palace.

If there really is a land of gold, then it is certain that the value of gold is not as good as before.

The British Duke paused and continued: “I think you all have a lot of gold stored in your houses.

Once the gold from the golden land flows to the Central Plains, it is not certain how much the gold will be worth.

After all, you I don’t even know how much gold there is in that golden land. The sage said

that if we don’t think long term, we

will be worried about the near future.

The house can no longer afford it.

After all, the officials have been clamoring over the years for us old guys to be paid too much, and that’s not a matter of a day or two.”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

They understood very well what the British Duke meant.

To put it simply,

once the gold from the Golden Land circulates to the Central Plains, their gold will have no value.

Coupled with the fact that the officials are adding fuel to the fire, the benefits of these nobles are likely to be greatly reduced than before.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Golden Land exists or not, they must organize a fleet to find out.

Only in this way can their own interests be guaranteed.

“What do you mean, Mr. British?”

Someone raised his eyes, looked at Mr. British, and asked.

At this time, these nobles need to unite together.

Only in this way can one’s own interests be guaranteed.

Regardless of qualifications, age, title, or even the weight in His Majesty’s heart, the British Duke is undoubtedly the core figure.

The British gentleman picked up the wine glass, took a sip, looked around, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and said lightly: “I just said it. You

should have a lot of gold in your house.

We might as well use it. Use this gold to build a fleet and go to the West like those merchants!”

“This”

everyone stopped talking when they heard this.

Some people also lowered their heads.

This scene fell into the eyes of the British father, which naturally made him somewhat disdainful.

Of course, he had expected that such a situation would occur.

No matter when, no matter what happens.

These guys are all the same. As long as gold or silver is involved, they want to stay out of it and stay out of it.

Unfortunately, staying out of the situation is not as easy as they imagined.

In this world, a person’s power is always extremely small.

“Ahem.”

The British Duke coughed twice, looked around, and said: “To be honest, I don’t have this idea alone. The man named Xu visited Fang Mansion two days ago.

That is, yesterday, I I heard that a man named Xu has bought a piece of land in Jinzhou Prefecture and started recruiting carpenters. Do

you think this is a coincidence?”

Everyone raised their eyes when they heard this.

It is self-evident who the person named Xu is.

It must be Duke Dingguo!

After the death of the Duke of Wei, these two Dukes were the only ones left in the capital.

The two princes all mentioned this matter, so even a fool knows what that means.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, the British Duke continued: “Besides, this gold is not just for you to give out. My British Duke’s government must be the one that gives out the most!

I will first take out a thousand taels of gold here and use it. In search of a golden place! “

A thousand taels of gold! “

As soon as these words came out, the whole elegant room was boiling.

This is one thousand taels of gold!

It’s much more valuable than silver!

As expected of the British government, they took out a thousand taels of gold without blinking an eye.

But

everyone was still hesitant.

After all, this thing is extraordinary.

Sailing to the Western Ocean seems to have been something that no one has done since ancient times.

There are a lot of down-and-out people going to Nanyang, but few of them actually make money.

Only one thing is true.

The life of these nobles is getting harder and harder.

Unexpectedly, many distinguished people have opened shops behind the scenes.

However, due to labor shortages, those shops could not make much money.

Therefore, we must think of a good way.

Someone struggled for a long time and finally made up his mind. He looked at the British Duke and gritted his teeth and said: “The British Duke, I am willing to pay five thousand taels of silver!”

It was an earl.

Five thousand taels of silver was already close to half of his net worth.

Everyone looked at that person.

Some expressions have changed.

People are blindly obedient.

Seeing someone taking the lead, other people also made up their minds.

“I will offer ten thousand taels!”

“I will offer three thousand taels!”

“I will offer six thousand six hundred and fifty-one taels!”

Everyone said one after another.

A smile gradually appeared on the British Duke’s face.

When he looked at these nobles, he felt like he was seeing money.

With this money, there are ships and sailors.

With ships and sailors, there is money.

He seemed to have seen the golden land covered with gold.

In a daze, he seemed to be back to his youth again.

He was still a little captain, following his grandfather in the four northern states, facing the invading grassland tribes.

He hadn’t felt this way for a long time.

If he were several dozen years younger, or even ten years younger.

He thought about taking the navy with him to find the golden land!
