Section 0627 Ore in the ship's hold
After listening to Li Shentong's self-reported family property, Liu Mu shook his head: "Hold the qin, hold the lamp." ”
Baoqin instructed a few maids to light the lights in the bottom warehouse and then lead people out of the bottom warehouse.
Under the candlelight, the stones that shone with a strange luster made the four of them extremely puzzled, or Li Shentong asked suspiciously after taking a closer look: "What are you putting so much silver ore on the ship for?" ”
"Change boats." Yanagi didn't answer, but left the bottom warehouse.
When he arrived on the deck, Liu Mu said to Liu Renliang: "My third sister is here, why don't you take her to experience the customs of Wajima." ”
"Official business matters." Although Liu Renliang has not spoken, he understands very well that Liu Mu may be going to do big things, so it is impossible for him to affect big things because of private affairs.
Soon, Yanagi took the four of them to another boat.
After getting on the ship, he first ordered to go out to sea until he reached a distance of nearly twenty miles from the shore, and then set anchor.
Yanagi sat at the top with a cup of tea, and more than a dozen men in short clothes entered the Okura, saluted Yanagi and stood aside.
Liu Mu said: "They will tell a huge secret, and those who hear this secret, whoever betrays the Tang Dynasty will definitely die of the whole clan, and even punish the three clans." The thirteen of them will not be free for many years to come, and their words and deeds will be under surveillance, or in a place where they cannot have contact with the outside world. ”
"This is not in line with my Tang law." The eldest grandson, Wuji, immediately objected.
The people of the Tang Dynasty cannot be imprisoned unless they are serious crimes, which is clearly stipulated in the Tang Law.
Liu Mu said: "Each of them will have a county knighthood, and their apprentices will have a county baron, and they can bring their families with them, but after the family participates, they will also lose their freedom." They are voluntary. ”
"You wait, but it's voluntary." The eldest grandson Wuji immediately asked.
Liu Mu didn't wait for these people to answer, and asked Changsun Wuji: "Uncle Changsun Guo, don't you ask why this is happening." ”
"Why?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.
Li Shentong motioned for those people to sit: "Don't worry, you speak slowly." Datang speaks fairly. ”
"We are all voluntary, in other words, if this secret is heard, I am afraid that we will also be arrested, but it is better to be protected like this. and also became a man with a title, a family of slaves, fine clothes and fine food. ”
"Tell me." Li Shentong came to be interested.
Liu Mu said to the thirteen exploration team captains: "This, King Zhun An, is the current imperial uncle. This eldest grandson's uncle, his sister is the current eldest grandson queen, and is now the envoy of the Donggang Shipping Division. This Pei Gong is the deputy envoy of the Donggang Shipping Division. The last one, General Liu, is the deputy envoy of the Donggang Shipping Division. ”
After Liu Mu explained his identity, the oldest of the thirteen people stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Langjun took us to a secret place, to be honest, we don't know what kind of place it is. But I knew that there were thousands of silver mines in the whole mountain, or it could be said that it was a silver mountain, an indescribably huge silver mine. ”
"How big?" Li Shentong asked.
"It can't be estimated, it's too big to describe, it's impossible to estimate."
"Even if you can't estimate it, there's an approximate number, right?" Li Shentong said in his heart, how could there be no number.
After the thirteen people bowed their heads and discussed a few words, it was still the oldest one who spoke: "The whole mountain is a silver mine, endless. No specific amount can be estimated. ”
"Willow." The eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to ask Liu Mu.
Liu Mu shook his head: "I don't know how many, there are countless of them." But I personally estimate that all the cash in the world of Datang is less than one-tenth of this silver mountain. The silver of this silver mountain is melted into silver bricks, which can replace the bricks and stones of Chang'an City. Of course there could be more, the number is unknown. ”
The four of them couldn't close their mouths in shock.
After a long time, Li Shentong asked, "Tell my uncle, how many people know about this?" ”
The concept pointed to the shipyard, and then said, "Chang'an City, there are still nine big people who know. Ah, ten. ”
Without Liu Mu's explanation, Li Shentong also understood that it must be the Emperor Taishang, the sage, the left and right servants of the Shangshu, and the six Shangshu, a total of ten people.
There are also some ore samples on this ship.
Li Shentong and Eldest Sun Wuji asked for a full hour, asking all the details clearly. Thirteen people naturally know everything and say everything.
Pei Shiqing was willing to be a scribe and recorded all the conversations on the side.
Liu Mu sat at the top with a teacup and tasted the tea steadily.
An hour later, the eldest grandson Wuji motioned for the thirteen survey captains to leave the shipyard, and then asked Liu Mu: "This huge silver mine is on Wajima?" ”
"Yes." Yanagi nodded.
"The location, I guess even the Japanese themselves don't know, right?"
"Yes." Yanagi nodded again.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat next to Liu Mu and whispered: "I don't dare to make decisions in this matter, you are bolder than me, but this matter has to be decided by the saint." It is necessary to kill all the Japanese nobles in this silver mine, but this requires a rigorous and careful plan. I don't want to record the bad strokes of the Tang Dynasty in the history books in the future. ”
"History is written by the victors. We helped the Japanese people change from slaves to commoners, overthrew the brutal rule and oppression of slave owners, led the Japanese people to live a happy and beautiful life, and learned the Five Constants of Human Ethics. ”
As soon as Liu Mu's words fell, Li Shentong clapped his palms: "Well said, this is the right reason." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This matter, there must be two official officials with status to report to Chang'an, and my opinion is to ask Duke Pei and King Zhun An to work this trip." At the moment, whether to dig the silver mine immediately, or wait for Chang'an to have a reply before digging, there are exactly five people here, let's come out with an attitude. ”
The eldest grandson, Wuji, personally prepared five pieces of paper and asked everyone to write their own choices silently.
Li Shentong asked, "I haven't asked yet, the location of this mine." ”
"It doesn't matter." The eldest grandson Wuji said and distributed the pieces of paper to everyone.
Soon, the five pieces of paper were withdrawn into the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji opened the pieces of paper one by one and put them on the table.
All five pieces of paper decided to dig.
"So, the next step is the second step, how to dig." Eldest Sun Wuji asked again.
"The location of the mine is here, and I have a simple plan. Soga Ezo will lend us a small inconspicuous port, and then we will send heavy troops to guard it, and then use the slaves to dig it. ”
Willow is naturally prepared.
As the eldest grandson Wuji commented on Liu Mu, Liu Mu is a strategic genius and tactically second-rate.
Yanagiki's plan has a lot of holes.
But it doesn't matter, Li Shentong's staff team, Changsun Wuji's staff team. These people are enough to make the details of this plan perfect, and they have the eldest grandson Wuji to check it.
