Chapter 294: Point General (II)
"Rich brother, what did you say?" Zheng Lang said, and glanced at Cui Xian suspiciously again.
Yi'er took the initiative to explain the reason, owed her body, and said: "Governor Zheng, the slave came to think of your song, and I heard Taishou say that it is best to play it with the pipa, and I still remember some of it, so I tried to play it with the pipa, I don't know if it's right, I heard that Taishou came back, and I came to visit and teach." ”
Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to ask for tunes.
"Sit, you play and watch."
"Slave obedience." I owe my body again, I am very gentle, I am very good at observing my face, and I am pretty, Fu Bi pinched Zheng Lang again, that means good, take it. Yi'er would not disagree, with Zheng Lang's prestige in Hangzhou, no matter which one of the Oiran, he entered his mansion as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zheng Lang shook his head.
Yi'er played, only two sections, and soon finished playing, and fell into Fu Bi's ears, and the difference was already heard: "Yi's little lady is good at remembering her surname, and she really uses the pipa well." ”
I heard that it was good to use the pipa, but Yier didn't understand the rhythm of the music, couldn't remember it, couldn't change from zhengqu to pipa music, and deliberately praised it.
"Since you can remember, I'll give you the third paragraph, point to general."
Pipa Zheng Lang can't play, or use the guzheng, this section is round after round of long strokes, on the pipa is to use a long wheel fingers, not in a hurry, whether it is buckle or play, to wipe the main, with the finger long wipe down. The same is true on the guzheng, where the fingers are smeared round by round with several strings, showing the majesty of the soldiers.
As for the length, there is no strict limit, you can wipe it for one minute, you can wipe it for two minutes. But you can't wipe it for five or six minutes.
After wiping it off, he said, "The third paragraph." ”
Yi'er asked, "What about the fourth paragraph?" ”
"The fourth paragraph is not yet there."
Yi'er looked at Zheng Lang with puzzled eyes.
"Don't look at me, today I heard a good news, the ship I sent is about to return, so I came up with a third paragraph." No, it has nothing to do with this ship at all, but the real intention, Zheng Lang has never said.
"The ship'......?"
"It doesn't help you much, but it's great news for your stepfather."
"Thank you, prefect."
"Don't use it, not only for your father-in-law, but mainly for the court."
Yi'er didn't dare to ask, and she didn't dare to stay to eat, so she got up and said goodbye.
Fu Bi said: "This little leader is really good, smart and sensible. ”
"There are many sensible girls, but they have nothing to do with me, are there good women in the world, I want to be included in the house one by one?"
Fu Bi laughed.
After a meal, Mr. and Mrs. Fubi said goodbye.
Zheng Lang called Yang Jiujin and Wang Zhi over and asked, "How do I read those books for you?" ”
This is an important arrangement.
It is not easy to mine this gold and silver safely. Don't try to attack the Wa Kingdom, the Song Dynasty simply didn't have the strength and courage to do so, and fighting across the sea made it even more difficult. You have to think of something else.
The first is secrecy, which allows them to know how much gold and silver they produce, but not how much gold and silver they produce.
It is also necessary to break from the source, Zheng Lang came up with a way, the Japanese people like to come to the Song Dynasty to borrow seeds, there are women who are pregnant with the children of the Song people, they are not ashamed in the family, but they are proud, and they can often be canonized as the head of the family, so some women come across the sea and come to the Song Dynasty to borrow seeds.
Zheng Lang's method was to ask Wang Zhaoming and them to hint at bringing a group of Japanese people to borrow good seeds, regardless of what kind of seeds they borrowed, and then use this reason to issue an edict to strictly inspect the Japanese ships and prevent them from staying ashore. The reason is inconsistent with the Central Plains Rites.
Otherwise, there would be no better reason to impose martial law on the Japanese merchants.
Then take the initiative to have some discussions with the Japanese people, saying that the court does not like it, and provide them with some goods at a low price, you don't take the risk of going to sea, I will send you cheap goods, and you can make a lot of money at your doorstep.
Then it's to buy land, anyway, it's nonsense, what kind of wood is there, just say that the Song Dynasty lacked this kind of wood, and found some gold and silver mines, sooner or later you will know, pick out and say. But the true reserves cannot be said, and if I am not mistaken, these two mines are the largest gold and silver mines in the Wa Kingdom.
At this time, there were gold and silver mines in the Wa country, but the mining technology was backward, and the mining volume was also very small, so casually speaking, one or two thousand taels of silver could be mined a year, which was considered a very high yield, and the Wa people also believed it. If you give a large number of goods, don't pay them all at once, pay them in decades, pay them once a year, pay them off once with your surname, with this obscene and tyrannical nation, anything can happen, and the value of the payment is more than the value of this thousand taels of silver, and the Japanese people will not easily regret it.
Bringing the best craftsmen from China, the Song Dynasty was the era of the fastest development of science and technology in ancient China, when mining technology was already very developed, such as the ash blowing method began to appear in silver mines. Support gunpowder again, don't hide it, grab something from someone else's hands, hurry up and get it back. However, gunpowder had to be made from gunpowder and then transported to the Wa Kingdom, where it could be mined with gunpowder to increase the speed of mining.
These two mines are easy to mine and are privately owned.
Once you join a private person, you will have motivation, the court is not in a hurry, and the private person will also be in a hurry, grabbing wealth in other people's countries, and there are a few people who are not worried. Then it is possible to replicate history, and in forty or fifty years most of the gold and silver will be extracted. The rest of the tails, you don't want them.
There will be accidents, and a clever person must be sent to take advantage of the political situation of the Japanese state at this time to carry out some instigation, so that they will not be united, and if they are not united, the strength will not be very strong, and even use the army and property to make them wage war with each other and deepen their hatred.
Therefore, Zheng Lang asked for those strange conditions, Wang Zhaoming could only make up, strictly speaking, he still couldn't meet Zheng Lang's requirements.
This is an external means.
You have to have a strong army inside.
The imperial court will send a part of the army, after all, it is a huge wealth, and the ministers will not object. The main combat strength is probably the private armed forces, which are controlled by the imperial court and armed with private forces. This is overseas, and there will not be too many taboos in the imperial court, and private armament is related to one's own wealth, and once something happens, it will be more courageous to fight. And there are trees on the mountain, and no one will notice when they are mined at the beginning, and they can use the abandoned ore and trees to build a long fortress and defend it.
However, it is still not enough.
It's caused by the terrain. The Tang Dynasty was not good, although the Tang Dynasty was more powerful, but since being defeated by Liu Renliang, the Japanese people dug three long trenches in the country, one of which happened to pass through Shimane County. The Tang Dynasty had a strong military force, and the Japanese people were very guarded, and they would not agree to sell land. The Song Dynasty had weak force, but it lowered the guardiness of the Japanese people, and it was a political situation of separation, which reduced the difficulty.
However, there is one most unfavorable factor, the king of the Nara period of the Wa Kingdom was in Heikyo, that is, Nara, but in the Heian period, Kyoto was moved to Heiankyo, and in Kyoto, it was only 500 miles away from the Iwami Silver Mine. It's too close. Iwami Silver Mine's local separatist power Izumo Province is also the Zhiyuki Province of the Wa Imperial Family of the Taira clan, and the aborigines are the Sushen people who migrated from the Tohoku and are proficient in mining and gold mining technology, and they are also good at metallurgical technology, and the Izumo Wakoku sword is a famous brand product of Wakoku.
Although there are many separatist forces around and can be used, it is still very difficult, I am afraid that these forces will all join forces, and the royal family will send troops, so it will be very dangerous to hang overseas alone.
The stronger your own strength, the more you will have the ability to speak.
Zheng Lang thought of another place.
Jurchen.
It is not the mature Jurchen of Liaoyang of the Khitan, but the Jurchen of the East China Sea and the Jurchen of the Five Kingdoms who live in the lower reaches of the Tongtong River, which has nothing to do with Wanyan, and Wanyan has gone deep into the mainland, so it is inconvenient to contact.
These Jurchens are not unified at this time, and often kill each other, and the Khitan is also very loose in its control over the Jurchens, too far away, too poor, to be carefully controlled, as long as the taxes are completed, it has nothing to do with us whether you kill or not.
Now no one takes these Jurchens seriously, but Zheng Lang knows the combat effectiveness of these Jurchens.
Later, the Jin State fought with the Southern Song Dynasty, and suffered repeated losses, but it was not the Jurchens, there were too few Jurchens at that time, and the army was mostly Khitans and Han Chinese, and the combat effectiveness of the Song soldiers had been underestimated, and it was not that the Song soldiers were weak, so that a group of civil officials and eunuchs spoiled their combat effectiveness, and as the Jurchens, they entered the Central Plains and began to degenerate, which is also part of the reason. However, the primitive Jurchens were undoubtedly the most powerful soldiers of this era.
This area is also very backward, and it is possible to exchange two broken bowls and an iron pot for a prisoner of a defeated tribe as a slave.
If two or three thousand Jurchen slaves are exchanged to form an army, the silver mine can be said to be worry-free. And this strong army can activate the combat effectiveness of other armies and greatly increase the strength of the entire garrison.
The language barrier problem is easy to solve, the Goryeo people have a lot of contacts with the Jurchens, please ask a few interpreters, and the language problem can be solved. But those who go to the ministry must be bold and not afraid. Be wise and adaptable. To have a certain military level, a group of Jurchens led by Wanyan Aguta are invincible in the world, and a group of Jurchens led by Fan Yong may not even be able to win against the Tubo at the end.
So in the past few years, Zheng Lang has been cultivating the Wang brothers and the Yang brothers.
Teach them to read some words, let them read Zuo Chuan, books from the Zongheng family and the soldiers, and let them go to the Hangzhou forbidden army garrison to observe.
The armies sent by the imperial court have their own commanding generals.
However, Zheng Lang would make a request to the imperial court to set up two garrisons of Tibetan soldiers, and use the purchased slaves to arrange two armies, which were handed over to Yang Jiujin and Wang Zhi to lead.
After coming up with this plan, Zheng Lang faintly felt that the Jurchen's role was not only this, such as letting the imperial court realize the Jurchen's combat effectiveness in advance, so as to avoid the occurrence of the maritime alliance in the future, or others.
It's still early, so I didn't think much of it.
The Ryokari gold mine is very easy to manage, in Kagoshima, the southernmost point of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom in the Heian period can hardly control this place, there are some local forces, not large, as long as you send an army over, no arrangement, you can sit back and relax.
The huge and exquisite goods and strong army can not only ensure the safety of the two mines, but can even use war or goods to obtain a large number of cheap labor. At this time, many forces of the Japanese state were divided, and there was no concept of the state, and there were more prisoners of war, which were all important sources of labor.
It is easy to negotiate, but the difficult thing is to find mines, and the map drawn by myself is very detailed, and the error will hardly exceed thirty miles. But it's a thirty-mile road, how many mountains, how many ridges? Therefore, Zheng Lang can't grasp this time.
He was equally relieved to get the news today.
This is the first step, and the second step is copper.
In the Northern Song Dynasty alone, more than 50 million copper coins were minted, and more than 10 million iron coins were minted. There is also a large amount of gold and silver in circulation as quasi-currency. Far more than that, there are also paper money, if you don't conjure these metals out by yourself, you will start immediately, first a few million guan a year, then tens of millions of guan, and the highest annual issue is 650 million guan during the time of Emperor Lizong.
Paper money is indiscriminate, and the ratio of coins to copper coins is 20 to 1 at the lowest time, but the real value of the currency in circulation is also hundreds of millions of yuan. And there are silk grains and so on instead of currency transactions.
If the metal currency is sufficient, all of them can meet the huge economic aggregate of the Song Dynasty and the money of the surrounding countries, at least more than 2 billion yuan, and even 3 billion. This is only money, as well as utensils, jewelry, Buddha statues, and Wang Anshi's reform failed, if Wang Anshi's reform was more thoughtful, and he did not encounter natural disasters, let him succeed in reform, the economy entered the cycle of good surnames, and the amount of money would increase by one billion. In addition to other uses, the amount of gold, silver and copper will have to be tripled to meet the needs.
Therefore, Zheng Lang will not worry about mining too many metals, which will lead to a flood of currency, not too much, but not the ability to supply.
But don't rush, step by step, first take this most critical first step.
Yang Jiujin and Wang Zhi replied very honestly: "Doctor Zheng, there are many things we don't understand. ”
"Okay, from today onwards, if there is something you don't understand, use the pen to draw on the line, make a mark, and I will take the time to guide you."
"Thank you, Dr. Zheng."
"No thanks, although I have given you a path to promotion, there are many dangers."
"Wealth is in danger." Yang Jiujin replied with his head held high.
"Well, if you really ask for this wealth, then the four words I wrote to your father will become a miracle," Zheng Lang said with a smile, and then let them go down.
Cui Xian walked over with Zheng Ping in her arms and asked, "Official, there is something that the concubine is puzzled about." ”
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Don't joke about concubines, concubines are serious."
"Just ask."
"When Yi'er left, the concubine stayed, but she didn't stay, but after leaving, she looked for you several times, what was she thinking?" Why do you ask for music and rhythm, Cui Xian doesn't believe it, even if the love is like life, this ten-sided ambush Zheng Lang has not finished composing, so he is in such a hurry?
Zheng Lang smiled: "Xian'er, it wasn't you who said you wanted to accept her at that time. ”
"The concubine said it, but she couldn't guess it in her mind."
"I don't plan to take a concubine either, so why guess? If your heart doesn't move, let it move and the wind moves? ”
"Concubines are not jealous."
"You don't care, listen to me, and you don't have the heart to care about her."
"Yes." Cui Xian said with interest that as soon as Wang Zhaoming and his entourage returned to China, a series of major events would happen.
…… The news spread quickly, and many people came to ask, but Zheng Lang did not answer. Near the end of the year, a light snow suddenly fell in Hangzhou.
Si'er jumped up with joy and said, "Official, why does it snow in Hangzhou?" ”
"Who said that it doesn't snow in Hangzhou, it's just snow," Zheng Lang said. Suddenly he thought of one thing, it is a warm winter now, but there are not many years, the Song Dynasty will usher in a sad time, the Xiaoice River, this Xiaoice River is not as bad as the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is also very serious, and it has lasted for more than a hundred years.
It caused many bad effects, the worst of which was the period of Wang Anshi's reform.
In the cold winter, Hebei's crops can only be harvested once a year, and the yield has dropped sharply, but the harm does not stop there, and the Xiaoice River brings some abnormal weather, such as major droughts or floods. Wang Anshi happened to encounter a drought that was rare in hundreds of years, and this natural disaster became the best excuse for the Conservative Party to fight back against the law.
The trend of history will slowly change.
But what impact will this Xiaoice River have on his future life?
After thinking for a while, he said to Si'er and Cui Xian's daughters, "Let's go and see West Lake." ”
"Okay," Si'er jumped up happily.
But she has been worried a lot, she has always wanted a child, and she has never fulfilled her wish. The most anxious is Xing'er, she is three years older than Zheng Lang, in Zheng Lang's eyes, twenty-four years old is like a flower blooming, but twenty-four years old is a terrible age in this era.
Zheng Lang was helpless, no one moved, what should he do?
When you come to the West Lake, there is a thin layer of crisp snow on the ground, the green mountains stand silently in the distance, the lake water is clear, and the newly built causeway is like an oolong, across the West Lake. If you want to be beautiful, you have to spend two years, plant trees next year, load flowers and grass, and grow up the year after that, so that you can see the enchanting scene.
But at this time, the brick piers are repaired, the stone steps are also repaired, and the pavilion arch bridge is all ready, although there are fewer flowers and trees, you can also see a rough beauty.
Xing'er stared intently at the causeway, turned her head again, and said stupidly: "Official, you are so capable, others only repair water conservancy, only officials not only repair water conservancy, but also water conservancy into scenery." ”
There are also places where you don't have the ability, such as not being able to drink, and having a child...... Turning around, and just as he was about to go back, two officials ran over and shouted, "The ship is back." ”
"Oh, go over and have a look, no, I'll meet you." Zheng Lang said, picked up Zheng Ping and ran to the dock, anyway, he doesn't like to wear official clothes, everyone knows it, and now he is wearing civilian clothes, and no one will blame him.
When I came to the pier, there were many people around, most of whom were merchants who had rushed to hear the news.
However, Zheng Lang had a black line on his forehead.
He had instructed him to bring some Japanese women back to find an excuse, but in the hands of Wang Zhaoming, the taste changed. Anyway, this time it was not for the transaction, the empty ship returned, I don't know where he got it from, several ships brought at least a thousand Japanese women, some stood on the dock, some stood on the ship, and some were still lying in the arms of sailors or soldiers. Zheng Lang dragged Wang Zhaoming aside and reproached: "Wang Neishi, if you bring so many women back, wouldn't you let this official send a handle to Yanchen?" ”
"Governor Zheng, I also know, but there is no way, there is also a county lord of the Japanese slave country in the middle."
"County Lord?"
"Look, the woman in the red and yellow dress in the middle is the royal woman of the Japanese slave country."
"She's borrowing seeds too?"
"I don't know about this, but the Wa Kingdom is very chaotic, I heard that the previous emperor made his aunt the concubine of the East Palace, and then set up his cousin as the concubine, tsk, I don't know how ugly people are." Wang Zhaoming shook his head and said: "What is this woman's name Yanzi County Lord, when I heard that she was coming to our court, many noble women all followed, and some noble women borrowed seeds on the boat. You see a woman over there, the one who wears my Chaoshu brocade skirt, a woman from the Fujiwara family, who has borrowed at least seventeen or eighteen kinds on the ship. ”
"Stop, stop, don't mention it," Zheng Lang wiped his sweat again.
"I won't mention it."
"Resolutely can't mention it," Zheng Lang wiped his sweat again, a woman borrowed seventeen or eighteen kinds, what kind of chaos would happen on the ship?
"Okay, don't mention it, don't mention it, but I'll bring back good news. The Wa State is even more serious than you say, and the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom is like a puppet, and the power is mainly in the hands of the Fujiwara family, either with the Taira clan and Toyotomi in charge of the Sekihaku regent, or the prime minister. ”
"I know, you say it succinctly."
"There was more power in the hands of the shogun, and the samurai power in various places was hidden from the imperial court. Because of the disunity between the upper and lower levels, the various nobles and some large samurai groups were full of power conflicts and contradictions, and most resorted to force to solve them. I don't need to do anything, their country is already in chaos. ”
"It's good news, but you have to remember that if you continue to divide and find a way to make their respective forces smaller and smaller, it's best to provoke some contradictions, so that everyone is dissatisfied with this Ping family, if you can achieve this goal, it doesn't matter if you spend more money. Otherwise, the silver mine would never be at peace. ”
"Yes, I'll remember."
"Further on."
"Governor Zheng, you are really a god, rich mine, don't you know, after the craftsmen we brought from Denglai Erzhou to find the mine, they almost lay on the mountain and didn't want to get up."
Zheng Lang smiled slightly, and said in his heart, if it is not a rich mine, it is not easy to mine, why bother to grab this food in the mouth of the tiger, although the political situation of the Wa Kingdom is very favorable at this time, but the Ping family is not easy to mess with. said: "I have known this for a long time, don't mention it, talk about negotiations." ”
"Yes, after we confirmed the two mines, I brought a gift to the Emperor of the Uno Kingdom, and he was very happy, and the negotiations went relatively smoothly. At that time, he proposed two methods, the first was to let me send troops to the DPRK to assist him in supporting the dignity of the Japanese royal family. ”
"I can't say yes."
"That's," Wang Zhaoming dared to agree to send troops to the northwest, His Majesty hesitated, and besides, it was overseas, and the price was too great.
"The second condition is that I will give him 200,000 pieces of fine brocade silk, spices, medicinal herbs, porcelain, books, stationery, and 200,000 copper coins, which will be paid in fifty years, but one-fifth must be paid in the first year. The list is on the ship, I roughly calculated, and it cost about a million guan. In addition, I also asked for some bows and arrows, and I agreed, but I didn't dare to promise to say much, and only promised to provide 3,000 ordinary bows and arrows. ”
"Yes, there are still too many bows and arrows, and you can't make the other party strong, do you understand? If you don't have enough money, you go back this time and give him one-fifth of what he needs, which is an extra gift, and the rest will be paid in fifty years. ”
"Why?"
"In the past, when the alliance between the Yuanyuan was called, Kou Zhun once said that although 300,000 yuan is worth it, the benefits are not thick, and the Khitan is not tempted, and the peace treaty will become a dead letter. The principle is the same, to make them tempted, only after they are tempted will there be fewer things, this is the fundamental. ”
"But there are still some local forces, especially the silver mine, the local samurai asked for supplies, and the Hei family also asked for supplies, and I successively promised them materials worth more than 800,000 yuan."
"It's not much, this time I went back, and I also gave them 200,000 yuan of materials, don't underestimate these two mines, I said that I can mine 100 million taels of silver and 3 million taels of gold, not a lie, even if the difference is not much. Worth more than 200 million yuan, only use 2 million yuan to buy a Taiping, why not. I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy Taiping, otherwise I will not hesitate to double the quantity. ”
"With the words of Governor Zheng, I am more sure in my heart. Moreover, I made an oath with the emperor of the Japanese slave state, cut down trees and erected boundary monuments, and carved stones on the stone tablets with Chinese characters and fake characters of the Japanese kingdom. This is a map," Wang Zhaoming pulled out a map from his arms.
Zheng Lang was overjoyed.
Not only the two mines, but before leaving, Zheng Lang had instructed that the land needed a little more, so as to confuse the other party, otherwise as soon as Wang Zhaoming returned, the Japanese sent craftsmen to check, and they could immediately tear up the treaty, that oath, seriously? In the future, if you can grow crops, vegetables, and raise some livestock and poultry, there will be many people, soldiers, craftsmen, minering slaves and workers, representatives of various merchants, and some officials. You can buy it from the Wa Kingdom, what if you turn against each other? You don't have to worry about having food for yourself. When smelting silver and metallurgy, it also needs to be calcined by trees.
It is also said that one is the mine, and the other is the tree, and the tree is a disguise, but it is regarded as the main purpose when negotiating with the other party. It was necessary to make a pattern, cut down some trees, tie them into wooden rafts, and tow them back to the country by boat downwind. It doesn't matter how much you drag, but to show the Japanese people, we do need trees.
So there are high requirements for negotiators, but Zheng Lang underestimated Wang Zhaoming. To do these dark and shameless things, it took eunuchs, and Wang Zhaoming successfully completed them, and the two places got a total of more than 6,000 hectares of land, more than 400 square kilometers.
"Okay, good," Zheng Lang was very happy, and said: "No, after I go back, the periphery will be built with a stone wall, and a few more stone tablets will be planted." ”
After the mining is completed, these two places will be occupied, and this group of little slaves will be disgusted for thousands of generations!
But listening to the chirping woman's voice, Zheng Lang instructed the officials beside him again: "You give me an order, and anyone who leaks anything I discussed at the North Gate last time should be severely punished." ”
After thinking about it, I still didn't feel at ease, I had to send this group of women away, staying in Hangzhou would cause trouble sooner or later, and Wang Zhaoming had to leave quickly, so I found a nearby shop, borrowed paper and pencils, and wrote immediately.
First of all, laws and regulations, such as visas for going to sea, which do not require money, unlike later generations, have become an important measure for political axes to accumulate wealth. It is also necessary, Zheng Lang did not object, but the next various laws and regulations will not be changed. First of all, seafarers were not allowed to go to the Silla Goryeo realm, and it was changed to discuss as appropriate. If you don't let the boat dock in Goryeo, how can you ask someone who is familiar with the birth of a girl to be a guide and interpreter?
The goods brought must be filed in a lawsuit and registered before they can be boarded, and the seafarer himself must be convicted of three residents, and he must also keep it, otherwise it will be chaotic. Prohibited items and weapons are not allowed to be on board, and this article must be changed, the prohibited items will be relaxed, and the ordnance will be allowed to be brought after registration and review. How can you protect yourself at sea without weapons?
There are strict restrictions on the period of going to sea, such as six months from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, and the time of June includes round-trip voyages, shipments and purchases, and the same period must be restricted, but the time must be relaxed, and the time set by the imperial court is too tight.
The sea ships of the Song Dynasty were all big ships, there were hundreds of people on the big ones, and there were nearly 100 people on the small ones. This is obviously impossible, this time is not before, where is there so many Zhu Ji in the city? The personnel on the ship are equipped with armor, and when they encounter someone on board who has died, they will use their wealth. This one is the most bitter, God knows if it will die? Death from illness, unaccustomed to water and soil, drowning in the water, being killed by pirates, and there are too many accidents at sea. Who dares to register with the city at every turn?
and other regulations, many revisions have been made, which is the condition proposed by Zheng Lang at that time. There is no way to sail on a large scale without changing.
Then he will set up a prison, which will be managed by Hangzhou for the time being, but in fact, it will be managed by himself, and others will not understand! After entering the right track, it is inevitable that it will be under the control of the imperial court, and it is not appropriate to rely on Hangzhou to manage such an important eunuch, with low power and heavy responsibility.
He also wrote the reason for letting private people take shares, which must be written, otherwise there will be officials who will come randomly.
It is to grab food from the mouths of other countries, and some places are some small countries, or tribes, don't be afraid, but like the mines of the Japanese country, the faster the action, the better, all of them are the imperial court, and the sense of responsibility is not heavy, and it can't be fast. They are often greedy for small profits and lose their big gains.
This is the beginning, there will be more deed shares to join in the future, there may be as many as tens of thousands of households, including so many households, although there will be contradictions, but it is impossible to have one heart, it will play a supervisory role, and officials dare not be greedy. will be greedy, but if you are greedy, you don't dare to be greedy, God knows if someone will poke out so many mouths. All of them are done by the government, and they must be greedy for ink, such as the tea administration, with an income of nearly 10 million, and the court only got more than 200,000 yuan in the end. Let its big households get richer and richer, in order to do more harm, let go of its official government, greedy ink and empty court did not get a percent, and this decision is not for its own ears.
If it is not a mine, more than ten mines will be launched within three years, and each mine needs a large number of manpower, and the imperial court is alone.
If there is no accident in more than ten mines, there will be more than one billion yuan of income, half of which is lost, and the number is also huge, and there will be countless large households entering one after another, and each household may receive 12,000 yuan, which can not be underestimated. If some rules are formulated, then these tens of thousands of large households will be tied to the imperial court, and some mineral deposits may be mined for hundreds of years, and how many years of mining will be, and how long these elites will be loyal to the imperial court. And because of this deed stock, I don't dare to do evil.
The battle in the northwest will be carried out soon, and the income from the deed shares, one is the land, which is given to the poor people, and the crisis of the court is decomposed, and the other is money, once the war starts, a large amount of money is needed to support. For example, Hangzhou's income this time is nearly 5 million yuan and more than 10,000 hectares of fertile land.
After listing several benefits, he began to ask for the army, which was a must, and gunpowder, which was necessary if he wanted to open a mine quickly. When it came to the matter of setting up soldiers, he didn't say much, but only mentioned it lightly, so that the court could see it in the future to see how brave this Jurchen army was.
One last thing.
When the matter is settled, another deposit will be inspected.
It is the Toledo Copper Mine on the island of Cebu. However, there are some difficulties, the Song Dynasty also had some commercial and trade contacts with Luzon, which can go from Luzon, which is very backward, and the more it goes deep into the people, the more uncivilized it is, and loses its transaction value. Therefore, it was not the main line of the Maritime Silk Road of the Song Dynasty. To the south, most of them enter the Strait of Malacca along the Xisha Nansha and go to Tianzhu, Dashi, and East Africa.
You may not even be able to find an interpreter.
In hot weather, some people will have severe symptoms of adaptation, which is easy to do, eat more apples, or put a grind on the boat, make some tofu, can relieve the discomfort. But another problem is a headache, malaria. The best is cinchona cream, which once cured Kangxi's "holy medicine", and it is also possible to drink decoction with leaves and skin, but this tree is now not available in the whole of Asia.
Only raw gypsum, Zhimu, Xuanshen, Mai Dong, Bupleurum, Changshan, with the symptoms of addition and subtraction, to less than the Song Dynasty malaria prescription for a little more effective.
In Luzon again, the shipping channel is unfamiliar, and although the paramecium shape is easy to recognize, it is not easy to find this island.
The only advantage is that there is no huge force around, and there are some aborigines on the top island, whose strength is weak and not enough to do great harm. There is no benefit, no one will go up and take risks, but with the benefit, the above little aboriginal is nothing.
All this is laid out for the sake of copper.
This copper mine was once the largest copper mine in Southeast Asia, with copper ore reserves of about 1.7 billion tons and a refined copper content of 41 parts per 10,000. But with the current technology, at most a quarter and a fifth can be obtained, which is also considerable, even if it is ruined, 100,000 tons of refined copper can be obtained.
But the mining time will be very long, it may take two or three hundred years, or even longer.
It's not bad, the copper money has always been less than five catties, only more than three catties of copper, throwing away the cost of transportation and casting, half of it, there will be nearly 200 million yuan.
And it's also a huge associated mine, with 0.23 grams of gold per tonne of ore. But don't take it seriously, take one percent, even if you are lucky, you can also get tens of thousands of taels of gold. In the vicinity of this mine, there are also small mines with a gold content of more than nine grams per tonne, and some iron ore. In short, it is impossible to determine how many years it will take to mine, and the actual profits that can be obtained will far exceed 200 million yuan.
Write about these situations one by one.
At the end, I said a sentence, I did this, how much it helped Sheji, and the heroes did not accept it, but I begged Your Majesty to do one thing, kill Guo and persuade Li Wei!
