After Liu Pei returned to Shandong, he finished handling official business, and returned to modern times with large bags and small bags of gifts. I haven't gone back to see Yu Lina for such a long time, so naturally I want to please her.

Yu Lina saw that Liu Pei was really powerful, and complained about Liu Pei. However, the gifts brought by Liu Pei are very rich. Coupled with a meal of sweet words, Yu Lina was very happy.

After the two got tired of being together for a few days, Liu Pei learned something. It's that Yu Lina is indeed very talented in business. She has used the funds, companies and connections left to him by Liu Pei, and has intervened in many industries. Although the companies in each industry are relatively small, these companies are easy to communicate with each other and support each other. The prototype of a group company has been faintly outlined. This surprised Liu Pei and was also very surprised.

In the following days, Liu Pei accompanied Yu Lina to the office and socialized during the day. Strengthened existing connections. Through them, the social circle was expanded. Of course, all kinds of antiques, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings are also sent out. But it completely stabilized Yu Lina's rear and opened up more markets.

During this period of modern times, Liu Pei also used this time to sort out the next goal. Liu Pei's next goal is, of course, how to make more money in the Ming Dynasty. After Liu Pei finished sorting out his thoughts, he returned to Shandong in the Ming Dynasty with a batch of industrial silver from modern times.

The first thing Liu Pei did when he returned to Shandong was to flush the batch of industrial silver into the accounts. This greatly eased Liu Pei's financial pressure. But Liu Pei knows that modern blood transfusions alone are not enough. If you don't get it right, you will end the modern and Ming dynasties at the same time! Therefore, Liu Pei must strengthen the self-hematopoietic ability on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, although the toll on the sea is still being collected, it cannot fill the big hole of developing Taiwan! Not to mention that Liu Pei is facing a situation of continued investment. However, Liu Pei has already thought of a way to get money, that is, the Wa Kingdom.

Speaking of this matter, Liu Pei must also thank Tanigawa Gonroku, the minister of Nagasaki. Just after Liu Pei defeated Zheng Zhilong, the poor and crazy Liu Pei sent someone to take over Zheng Zhilong's industry for a long time. As a result, there was a large industry there, and even the governor of Nagasaki, Tanigawa Gonroku, was red-eyed!

He was identifying Zheng Zhi

After the dragon died, he devoured all of Zheng Zhilong's property very neatly and expelled the people sent by Liu Pei. It's just that Liu Pei was busy dealing with the Taiwan issue a while ago, and he ignored the idiot Tanigawa Gonroku! And now it's time to deal with him!

In the past, when Liu Pei was weak, even the Shimazu family dared to confront him head-on. And now that Liu Pei has a lot of elite ships, he dares to attack the Japanese country head-on! Anyway, now there is no navy in the Japanese Kingdom, and Liu Pei's fleet can attack any location at will.

Liu Pei's attack on the Wa Kingdom this time was for war reparations, land, and Iwami Silver Mountain.

Needless to say, as long as Liu Pei defeated the Japanese and forced them to surrender or ask for a truce, he could take the opportunity to extort a large amount of their property.

As for the land, it refers to Hokkaido. At this time, Hokkaido was not included in the control of the Imperial Court of the Japanese Dynasty at all. In addition, many of the local people living on the island of Hokkaido at this time were called Ezo by the Japanese people. Although the culture of these Ezo people is backward, the harsh local conditions make them very powerful.

At that time, the Japanese people looked down on these natives and had been waging low-intensity wars with them. Moreover, the main force of the war was not the regular army soldiers of the various daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, but the remnants of the defeated soldiers led by some of the broken daimyo who were defeated in the war.

They lost the war, but they did not give up, so they applied to the Imperial Court of the Japanese Kingdom to open up Hokkaido. But their development did not go well. You must know that the daimyo in Japan at that time were very poor. And to open up an unprecedented territory, the funds needed are no longer beyond the reach of the broken daimyo.

In addition, Japan also has the idea of people leaving their hometowns. The daimyo of Hokkaido did not have a lot of appeal, so it was difficult to recruit enough people. This slows down the pace of development.

As for Iwami Yinshan, it is Liu Pei's inevitable goal. His next plan will require a huge amount of silver. Trade and tolls alone could not support his plans.

According to the book "The Old Records of Iwami Ginzan", as early as 1309 (the 2nd year of Yanqing), when the daimyo of Zhou Fangguo Hiroyuki Ouchi visited Iwami Province, he visited the Great Bodhisattva of Hokuto Myomi

There is a record of silver mining.

In March 1526 (Oei 6), his son Yoshitaka Ouchi succeeded to the throne, his son Yoshitaka Ouchi recruited craftsmen from Hakata merchant Kamiya Toshisada to greatly increase silver production by recruiting craftsmen from Hakata merchant Kamiya Toshisada to greatly increase silver production by using the ash blowing method, a fine chicine technique he had learned from overseas. At that time, Japan produced about 200 tons of silver per year, and the Iwami silver mine produced 38 tons (million taels) per year, worth about 10,000 kan.

After the production of Iwami Ginzan increased, the surrounding daimyo Ouchi Yoshiko, Ouchi Yoshitaka father and son, Niko Sukuhisa, Niko Haruhisa and Mori Moto fought for the dominance of the silver mountain A number of wars broke out, until Iwami Ginzan was accepted by the Edo shogunate as a direct government and sent to the silver mountain to manage it, and the first silver mountain minister was the famous Okubo Chang'an, who had a deep understanding of the mine Yasuhara Denbei as an assistant, and quickly developed the silver mountain, providing the shogunate with the financial resources to promote the overseas trade of the seals, and in 1602 (Keicho 7) there was still as high as 4~The output value of 5,000 kan, but since then the production has gradually declined.

Liu Pei's best time to intervene in Iwami Yinshan at this time has passed. However, although its high-yield period has passed, there is still room for development. So Liu Pei, who is hungry, will not let go of this piece of fat at all,

Of course, he was not prepared to send troops to occupy Iwami Ginzan. Because then the gains outweigh the losses. He was only trying to force the Edo shogunate to allow him to take a share of the production for free.

Liu Pei convened an operational meeting and set the entire operational goal. First of all, Liu Pei's fleet will seize Jeju Island and build it into a logistics base.

Because Jeju Island inspires North Korea to be very close. And now North Korea is being invaded by the Houjin army. Liu Pei can take advantage of the chaos to seize Jeju Island, and can sell the eliminated knives and guns and captured weapons to those North Koreans, so that they can fight and consume the Houjin army.

At the same time, a large number of Korean refugees caused by the war will be bought by Liu Pei at a low price and put into the development of Taiwan as slaves. At this time, the mountains in Taiwan are high and dense, and there are many mosquitoes, and people who have just arrived there are easy to get sick from mosquito bites.
