Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Tuoding and said nothing, just playing with the tea cup in his hand.

Lu Tuoding was also a good person, so he knew that the other party was teasing him, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally continued:

"Sir, we have done a business before, contacted several people, and found that they were carrying a large amount of unrefined gold ore and silver ore."

"So, after several days of non-stop slave work, we finally gained their trust. They told us that a large amount of gold and silver mines were indeed found on a certain island, and the stock of these gold and silver mines, Enough to buy half of the Tang Dynasty."

"Because we are short of manpower and have extremely poor relations with the local barbarians, we have set the goal of cooperation on you. I didn't know your details before, so I didn't dare to tell you the truth. Please forgive me."

When Chu Mo heard about the gold and silver mines, he was already tempted.

As for the nonsense the other party said about being able to buy half of the Tang Dynasty, he just thought that the other party was deceiving him.

After thinking about it, he asked: "You didn't tell me the truth before, because you were worried that I would kill you all, right? But now you tell me the matter so happily, is there an accident? Or maybe you can't wait any longer. ?”

"Ah!" Lu Tuoding couldn't help but screamed after Chu Mo revealed the secret in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth, looked at Chu Mo and said:

"Sir, as you thought, there was an accident. However, this accident is still within control."

"And after so many days of observation, I found that you are brave and resourceful, and have an excellent reputation. You are a person you can cooperate with. Therefore, I decided to put all my treasure on you."

"Ha ha..."

It was the first time that Chu Mo heard someone praise him for being brave, resourceful and reputable, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Then he said coldly:

"Do you know that when you tell this secret, your life no longer belongs to you. If I were willing, you wouldn't be able to get out of here today."

Lu Tuoding nodded firmly and said:

"Sir, I already considered this clearly when I decided to come to see you."

Chu Mo nodded, sat up straight, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "You can sit down too."

When Lu Tuoding heard this, he realized that the other party was tempted and was ready to cooperate with him. He immediately saluted Chu Mo and then sat down carefully.

Seeing Lu Tuoding sitting down on the chair with only half of his buttocks, Chu Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, coughed lightly, and then continued:

"Before you tell me the matter, let's talk clearly. What kind of information can you provide me? How much are you willing to sell me for this information? Tell me the truth, and I will give you a sincere price."

"I, Chu Mo, vouch for my credibility. If this matter succeeds, both parties will benefit. If it fails, you turn around and leave. I will not trouble you again afterwards."

After receiving Chu Mo's assurance, although he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false, Lu Tuoding still breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that as soon as he told the story about the gold and silver mines, the other party would directly capture him.

Now that the worst outcome has not occurred, it means that things can still continue.

Without any hesitation, Lu Tuoding said what he had thought about before.

"Sir, I can provide you with the few people we captured, and I can also give you all the information we tortured from them."

Chu Mo nodded: "How much money do you want?"

Lu Tuoding drooled over his cigarette, stretched out a finger with difficulty and said:

"Sir, we don't want more, we only want [-]% of the total output."

"Ha ha..."

Chu Mo smiled directly, pointed at Lu Tuoding and said:

"One percent? You really dare to open your mouth like a lion."

"Let's not talk about which island those gold and silver mines are on. I just want to ask you, even if you know the location of those minerals and find them successfully, do you dare to lead people to mine them?"

Lu Tuoding was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"Sir, I really can't hide anything from you. Indeed, even if we find those gold and silver mines, we don't dare to take people up there, and we really don't dare to mine there."

"Oh, how many? You mean there are more than one of these minerals? And there are people guarding the island?"

Chu Mo instantly heard some flaws from Lu Tuoding's mouth and hurriedly asked.

Lu Tuoding was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would get so much information from just a simple sentence, and his face immediately turned ugly.

With a sigh, Lu Tuoding said helplessly:

"Yes, it is indeed as adults thought. The news we received includes three gold mines and one silver mine."

"Although there is only one silver mine, the content inside is definitely rare in the world."

After getting the exact news, Chu Mo unconsciously began tapping the table with his fingers. After a long time, he continued:

"I believe the information you got is true, but you also said that there are people on the island, and more than one person should know about those minerals."

"What I want to say is that if I organize people to mine, they will definitely be counterattacked by the other party, and we don't know the location of the mine yet. If mining cannot be carried out by then, then your achievement will be wasted. Are you sure you want to insist on [-]%? Instead of you setting a price, I will give you a direct discount into cash or some other industrial land?"

When Chu Mo said this, Lu Tuoding also hesitated a little. Indeed, if he went by the confessions of those people, he or others with small powers would not be able to mine it at all.

But if he directly converted it into silver, this made him a little unwilling.

Seeing Lu Tuoding's hesitation, Chu Mo picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip and said:

"Lu Tuoding, since you haven't thought about it clearly, go back and think about it carefully. Besides, I don't know which island the minerals are on, what the situation is like on the island, and how many people live on it. So, even if you offer a price now, I won't I can’t give you too much.”

"Only if you think clearly and tell me everything can we negotiate the price."

After saying that, he was ready to see off the guests.

Chu Mo's words were like the straw that broke the camel's back. After Lu Tuoding heard this, his original hesitation and fear instantly disappeared.

Indeed, if we were to take that place as an example, mining would have been impossible unless the army pressed in.

It's like knowing that there are countless gold and silver treasures in the treasury, and there are countless people who covet them, but the one who can really control them is always the one above them.

After thinking clearly, Lu Tuoding showed a bright smile on his lips, looked at Chu Mo and said:

"Sir, I have thought clearly. 1000 million taels of silver. I only need 1000 million taels of silver, and I will tell you everything I know."
