Zheng Heng shook his head lightly and said: "Very good, let's do it, as for the problem of mining personnel, it will be sent in a steady stream soon, and now your task is to train enough technicians for me, understand." (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the Wèn Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) (full text e-book free download) "Saying that, he remembered a biography he had read in his previous life, although most of it had been forgotten.

But I remember that one of them says that the melting point of copper is many times higher than that of lead, and when copper ore is burned, the first thing that dissolves from it is lead, and the lead contains silver, and as long as the first melted lead solution is poured on the hot ash, the lead will precipitate under the ash, and the silver nugget will remain on the surface of the ash.

It sounds simple, Zhengheng was originally just playing with a ticket and was the first to use it in Tangsong Copper Mine. Although the copper mine is not valuable, the silver extracted is a real benefit, although the output is not much, but the output of the Tangsong copper mine is not large, which is why Zhengheng will focus on the largest production in the Yoshioka Copper Mountain. He understood that as long as he mastered this technique and the Samumu Tunnel, he would be able to make the Date clan instantly become a huge force that was rich and rival the country, and the lack of knowledge would become a joke.

When Tang Song Copper Mine produced the first grain of silver, Zheng Heng wanted to shout at that time, Chuan Ji Cheng did not deceive me, there is still some use in reading some Legends, no, Tang Song Copper Mine was originally just a small workshop to play tickets, and he didn't expect to let Date get through the most critical beginning in one fell swoop, and then it was out of control. When Masahiro defeated Shinmi Sadatsune and seized the hegemony of Aga-gun, the reason why his eyes were so quickly turned to Tetsuta-gun, although there were reasons, but the biggest reason was to seize Yoshioka Copper, and the sooner he captured Yoshioka Copper, the sooner the Date clan could get out of the crisis of shortage of money and food.

The shortage of money and food has always been a shortcoming of Date's development, as long as this shortcoming is made up, there will no longer be any resistance to stop the expansion of Date's, and Zhengheng is even confident that the local and Maori Yuan will pull their wrists and complete the unification of Beizhong in a short time.

Silver is no better than copper coins, but in Kansai it is hard currency, and you can buy anything anywhere, so as long as you carry silver, you can buy enough food and weapons in Izumo Province, and you can even go to Matsuyama Castle, the center of the Zhuang clan, to buy food in hiding. This is the role of silver, and no one can resist the temptation it brings.

Zheng Heng suddenly looked at the two leaders of the mine in the sakimu tunnel, and his eyes shrank. Because these two people have been dealing with copper all year round, they are black and thin, at first glance, they are like black charcoal, his actions made the two foremen's faces stagnant, their legs were weak and they almost knelt down, but fortunately they did not kneel down completely, and hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed: "Villain soldier Uemon, Gentaro, meet Lord Date Hou......"

Their actions made Masahiro stunned for a moment, these two people were the local miners' leaders, and they were also the managers who were responsible for opening mines for the Mimura family, Masahiro switched to the Date clan after defeating Ueno Hakumomori, and these two people were able to get the Mimura family's weapons to serve as the head of Yoshioka Copper Mountain, and they were already figures with a face within the Mimura clan, even if they were not samurai in the real sense. However, although their status is inferior to that of Shiotsu and Bingwei and Shaosuke of the Nagachi Punishment Department, the right to speak around the Mimura family is incomparable to the latter, and Masahiro wants to do his best to let Yoshioka Tongshan resume production, and he will inevitably reuse them, and there is no need to be so afraid of him. In fact, it's no wonder that the two of them are so afraid, who makes Zhengheng's reputation not very good, most of the ones that spread out are notoriety, and the three village relatives will not recite Zhengheng's good reputation, one after another, and those of them who were originally under the direct command of the three village families are all afraid when they hear Zhengheng's name.

Zheng Heng looked at the expressions of the two, shook his head slightly, and lost the meaning of asking them, looked back at Akagi Takao and said: "Akagi, do your best to lead the diggers of the Tangsong Copper Mine to move to Yoshioka Copper Mountain, well, I will build a smelting field in the Fukiya area dedicated to refining copper ore, you can tell me, how much silver can this Yoshioka Copper Mine produce for the Date clan." ”

Akagi Takao bowed and said: "This Yoshioka Copper Mountain has been excavated for nearly 700 years since the discovery of copper ore in the second year of Datong (807), and we generally know how much it has reserves, and many promising ore veins have been discovered, and we know the quality of the minerals. However, after the Mimura clan seized Yoshioka Copper Mountain, they increased their investment, but it was also difficult to dig new ore veins, and at the same time, some mines were dug too deep, and the air equipment gradually became difficult, and many miners fell ill due to lack of air, and on the other hand, the groundwater was getting more and more and more difficult to deal with, so that some mines had to be abandoned. Although the number of people has increased, the work efficiency is not high. If this continues, after another thirty or forty years of digging, the copper mine will be completely exhausted. ”

Akagi Takao's words are very significant, he said that in thirty or forty years the copper mine production will be exhausted. In Zhengheng's heart, there were huge waves, and when he saw the biography in his previous life, it was said that the consortium had bought the already exhausted Yoshioka Copper Mountain, and then it took decades for Yoshioka Copper Mountain to resume production. However, for Zhengheng, thirty or forty years is enough time for Date to develop into a behemoth, and there is no need to use the excavation of copper mountains to survive.

Zhengheng smiled and said: "It doesn't take thirty or forty years, as long as enough copper ore is excavated within ten years, and then enough silver is refined, it is enough, and the matter of this copper mountain will be handed over to the two of them, Akagi, you are the coordinator, I will let Kiyokawa Atsutaro and Yoshida Masanari two people help you, their task is to build a blacksmith village on the mountainside of Fukiya, I will let the blacksmiths of the territory gradually move to the village to live, and in the future, this will be the weapon production workshop of the Date clan, and at the same time, the matter of silver is hidden in it, It needs to be kept secret for at least three to five years, can it be done?! ”

Akagi Takao bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty understands." The two of them immediately bowed to the ground and kowtowed, and Kiyokawa Atsutaro and Yoshida Masanari glanced at each other and nodded yes.

Zhengheng was chatting with a few people, when suddenly Shiotsu and the guards came to report: "Master Kaiyu Itahou, Hidecho Ueki has sent a messenger!" ”

Zheng Heng smiled, wiped a handful of sweat stains, shook his head, left the house next to the pit road, sighed softly, and said, "No one is stupid?!" It seems that the battle is really coming. ”

Atsutaro Kiyokawa said in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you say that Hidecho Ueki sent someone to come because he already knew that it was the Date clan who occupied Tsurushou Castle, not the rumored Mimura Kinari. ”

Zhengheng let out an "oh", glanced at the blazing sky, and suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Akagi, Atsutaro, Taro, you can watch!" The world will change course because of me. ”

Akagi Takao, Kiyokawa Atsutaro, and Yoshida Masanari glanced at each other, shook their heads, stopped speaking, and followed behind by Hyoemon and Gentaro glanced at each other, and immediately lowered their heads, their faces changed several times in a row, and they did not speak.

It was not very far or very close to return to Heshou Castle from the Samu Tunnel in Yoshioka Copper Mountain, and it was supposed to come back in a sedan chair, but Zhengheng was very unaccustomed to the small sedan chair made of two four-legged tables in the Wa Kingdom, not uncomfortable to sit on, but uncomfortable to watch.

In his thoughts, by virtue of his identity, he should have come back on a high-headed horse, and the current Wa Kingdom due to the circulation of Western Southern Barbarian Merchants and Kanto Horse Merchants, can also see war horses like donkeys in the Western Kingdom, otherwise the Aki Maori clan would not have more than 100 cavalry.

The deep canyons in the Kibi Plateau, the alternating mountains, the thick body and short legs and feet of the Wa land horses, the size of donkeys, and the temper is very short, even the heavy armor knights can not control zhì, let alone the short stature and starvation of the Wa samurai. So much so that the more than 100 cavalry under the command of Yoshikawa Motoharu are said to be cavalry, and the knights are mainly on foot when they fight, even if Yoshikawa Motoharu often has to dismount and fight after arriving at the destination.

This is why Zhuang Weizi is confident that he will be able to capture the Aki Maori cavalry in Kibi Plateau.

Just as Mashiro was slowly returning to Tsurushou Castle, Hagiwara Takanobu and Nagaji Shosuke met with Wakabayashi Jibu Saemon Shiyuki, a messenger sent by Hidenaga Ueki, on behalf of "Mimura Kinari". This Wakabayashi Shiyuki ate Ueki Hideki's closed door soup when he returned to Saida Castle that day, so Ueki Hidecho put Ueki Hideki into the cold palace, and the other one was Ueki Sun Saemon Hideyin, both of them were Ueki Hidenaga's half-brothers.

Ueki Hide's eldest son killed his own son into the cold palace, and did not let his two half-brothers Wakabayashi and Ueki Hideyin suffer, although there are shortcomings of Ueki Hide's capital, but Wakabayashi and Ueki Hideyin's weight within the Ueki clan is not comparable to a just failed Ueki Hideki, Ueki Hidecho can only endure the pain and put his sister-in-law Ueki Hideki into the cold palace.

The young assistant of the Nagachi Punishment Department interrupted Wakabayashi Ziyuki's train of thought with a solemn expression, without any expression on his face, and said: "Oh, it turns out that the Wakabayashi Zhibu Saemon Hall is coming, and the head of the family has not returned to Koshiyama Castle yet, before leaving, he ordered me and Hagiwara-kun to handle the affairs of Tsurushou Castle with full authority, I don't know what happened to the representative of Wakabayashi Zhibu Saemon Hall, Zhuang Beizhong?!" ”

Wakabayashi Zixing was slightly stunned, he had seen Shaofu of the Changdi Criminal Department at a glance, and knew that the person in front of him was the first adviser under the command of Ueno Boqimori, although it was unfamiliar to see that Hagiwara Takanobu, but his face was also a shrewd and capable person, and he did not doubt it, and secretly said: "Hmph, what kind of mountain city are you going to, do you want to see our sincerity?!" Hum! He said that he put forward the purpose of the trip.
