Chapter 40: Ogasawara Nagaki
"Young Lord, now Iwami Ginzan has been taken over by our side, and production has resumed three days ago. The current output of the www.biquge.info is 240 pieces of silver per month, and the maximum mining capacity of the silver mine has not yet been reached. Li Sanbao said seriously and truthfully.
"Why is it that the maximum amount of mining has not been reached?" Kuroda asked.
"This ...... The Nizi family destroyed the silver mountain very completely before, so even after a few years, the Maori family has been working hard to rebuild, and has repaired most of the tunnels, but the silver mountains have not been able to fully recover, and some of the tunnels containing rich minerals are estimated to take about a year or so to rebuild with the current manpower. ”
"I see."
Kuroda Vocational High School responded with some embarrassment, it turned out to be his own problem! Back then, he suggested that the Niko family destroy the Iwami Silver Mountain when they evacuated Iwami Province through Yamanaka Yukimori, but because the Kuroda family defeated the Mori family earlier than he expected, Kuroda Vocational High School finally found out that it was he who had cheated himself.
Ah Shi on the side has been looking at Kuroda Vocational High School curiously, she was born in a family, has lived in Kyoto for a long time, has been educated by the princess since she was a child, and has been greatly influenced by the culture of the princess, and knows some of the Chinese that is considered to be high-end by the secretary and cultural people.
Kuroda Vocational High School and Li Sanbao just spoke, although she couldn't fully understand, but one thing she can confirm is that Kuroda Vocational High School can explain Mandarin, and it speaks very well. At least when talking to Li Sanbao, an authentic Ming person, there were no obstacles, and the communication was very smooth.
Ah Shi feels that his husband is really a great character, not only tall and mighty, handsome and extraordinary, both civil and military, knowing people and people, good at government affairs, but also proficient in Ming dialect, is really a rare genius in the world!
But what he didn't know was that this Li Sanbao was from Shandong, and he actually spoke Shandong dialect, while Kuroda Vocational High School spoke Mandarin in later generations, so if you count it, the language of Kuroda Vocational High School is actually closer to Beijing official dialect, that is, it is more standard.
The reason why Kuroda Vocational High School has no obstacles to communicate with Li Sanbao is because his grandfather in his previous life was a generation from Shandong and Hebei, and he is too familiar with the local dialect, which is the language that he has been exposed to since childhood!
"Now that we're talking about manpower, how much manpower does Yinshan have now?" Kuroda asked.
"There are about 500 laborers of all kinds, which is not counting the number of technicians." Li Sanbao replied.
"Five hundred, are they all prisoners?"
"There are also miners and prisoners who were captured by the Maori family before."
"Prisoners?"
"Yes, most of them were political prisoners within the Maori family who did not submit to Maori rule."
"Hmmm! Go on. ”
"Hey! However, it has been said to these people that they are the same as the captives of their own family, as long as they work for two years, let them return to the status of ordinary people. ”
"Are there any traitors among them?"
"There are five gangsters who have been executed after being identified, and the rest are not too much at fault."
"They are all people who rule if they don't obey Maori! Have you talked to them then, will you obey the rule of your own family? ”
"This has been confirmed, and they are all willing to submit to their own rule."
"That's good, in that case, find out how long they have been caught and worked, and if they have been working for a long time, just let them go! If it is less than two years, it will be released after two years. ”
"Little one understands."
"By the way, among these people, can there be a samurai from the Nizi family who was captured by the Maori family, or other wealthy families and countrymen?"
"There are two heads of small wealthy families, Lord Matsui Shigetaka has already said hello and has been released, and it is said that it will be transferred to Nagato Country!"
"That's good."
"But there is also a samurai of the Nizi family, who was supposed to be released, and when he heard that the young master would come, he refused to return to the Nizi family, hoping to see the young master." Li Sanbao said.
"See me?"
"Yes, he said that he has a request for the young master, so he hopes to be able to stay, see the young master with his own eyes, and make his own request."
"And what's his name?"
"Ogasawara Nagaki"
"Ogasawara Nagaki?" Kuroda squinted his eyes and began to wonder who this was.
"Hey!"
"Since it's called Ogasawara, but when the original Niko family ruled Iwami Province, the people of the Ogasawara family, the outer head of Iwami Province?"
"Exactly"
"Then does he want to enter the family?" Kuroda asked with a frown.
"Yes."
"Ogasawara is it! In that case, let's meet each other! ”
In fact, for this Ogasawara Nagashi, Kuroda Vocational High School is very confused, because according to Li Sanbao, this person hopes to be able to go to the Kuroda family, since this is the case, as long as he expresses his surrender, whether he can see himself or not has nothing to do with his appointment in the future.
As an old man of the Kuroda family, Li Sanbao should be very clear about this, and when he makes such a request, he will definitely tell Ogasawara Nagashi, since he still asks to see him, which means that it may be related to his request, but he is really not sure what this request is.
Later, in a small cabin, Kuroda Vocational High School met with Ogasawara Nagaki alone. However, in order to ensure his own safety, he still asked Hattori Masari to prepare to protect himself in advance, because Kuroda Vocational High School was not sure if this Ogasawara Nagashi would be unfavorable to him.
"I've seen the young lord in Shimo-Ogasawara Nagakei."
It was a weak man, wearing clothes with patches, and as a person who was still working hard in the well a few days ago, such a living environment was already very good.
However, Kuroda noticed that his eyes were very bright, although he had been worn out a lot of brilliance by continuous work, but his temperament was also very prominent. It should be a person who has been a superior before, which cannot be hidden in front of Kuroda Vocational High School. His body is very strong, I don't know if it was brought to him by labor, or if he had practiced martial arts since he had such a body.
"Ogasawara-sama."
"Hey!"
"Who are you from Ogasawara Nagatoroku-sama?"
"Ogasawara-sama Nagatoku is the grandfather who is below." Ogasawara Nagajing said very respectfully.
"This is strange, it stands to reason that you are a retainer of the Nizi family, and now that you are free, how can you want to be an official in your own family instead of returning to the Nizi family!" Kuroda asked solemnly, looking directly into Ogasawara Nagaki's eyes.
