Daming Super Daddy

After all, regardless of their lives, these soldiers abandoned their wives and children, and went overseas to open up territories for the Ming Dynasty. They are the elite warriors of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!

But what are the nobles and relatives of the Ming Dynasty who have done nothing but know how to be demanding?As soon as the upper mouth touches the lower mouth, you want this and that, it's a dream!

"Yes, Uncle Songhuang!" Zhu Youxuan knew he was wrong, and he also knew that he couldn't make Zhu Song angry anymore at this time, otherwise, a beating would be light.

"I'm so mad!" Seeing Zhu Youxi's obedient baby, Zhu Song's heart softened, his tone relaxed, and he continued: "Okay, don't you have something to report? Tell me, yes What's the matter?"

After being scolded by Zhu Song, Zhu Youxuan was a little stunned. After hearing Zhu Song's words, he came to his senses and said, "Song, Uncle Song Huang, it's like this. When we were arresting people in Dongfang District, we caught a To save his life, the Japanese slave who opened a gold, silver and jade shop said he knew a place where there were gold and silver mines.”

Chapter 4 Thirteen Gold and Silver Mine

"Gold and silver mines?" Zhu Song was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Could it be that you were cheated, kid?"

Zhu Song knew that Japan had silver mines, but he hadn't heard that Japan also had gold mines?

And from the perspective of time, although this silver mine was occasionally discovered in Japan, the silver mine with astonishing reserves should have been discovered in the sixteenth century, that is to say, it was not mined until 200 years later.

Now it's 200 years earlier, so there's no reason it would be mined out?

"Uncle Song Huang, we didn't believe it at first, but we saw that the store run by this guy is almost full of gold and silver accessories, and the purity of those accessories is very high, so we believed him."

Zhu Youxuan was still thinking about what happened just now, and when he answered Zhu Song's question, he felt somewhat palpitated.

"Well, go and bring this guy here, and I'll ask you first." Zhu Song still couldn't believe it.

"The Japanese slave is already waiting outside the hall." Zhu Youxuan nodded, and ordered someone to call that guy in.

"The little Ishii pine root kowtows to see the envoy of heaven!" Not long after, a middle-aged Japanese slave with a fat head, big ears, and a somewhat exaggerated tonnage came in, kowtowed to Zhu Song carefully, and at the same time fucked Straightforward Chinese.

"Your name is Ishii Songgen?" Zhu Song looked down at him, "Open your eyes and look at the people around you. We are not the kind of people you can make fun of."

"I don't dare to deceive the special envoy of the Celestial Dynasty." Ishii Songgen glanced at Zhu Song and the others, and saw that everyone in the hall except Yang Shiqi had dark faces and looked very awkward.

"Okay, with your words, it will be done. If you dare to deceive this king, this king can kill you now!" Zhu Song was very satisfied with the effect, and continued: "Tell me, you say you know There is such a place that has a large amount of gold and silver reserves, where is it?"

Ishii Matsune had already thought up his speech, and replied: "Reporting to the envoy of heaven, the gold and silver mines that I found... No, most of the places there are silver mines, and only a small part of the gold mines."

"Get to the point." Zhu Youxuan heard a little impatiently, and his voice was a little rough.

"Yes yes yes!" Glancing at Zhu Youxuan with some fear, Ishii Matsune continued: "The boundary is near Iwami in Shimane Prefecture in the San'in area, because there are often small volcanic eruptions and earthquakes there, so There are not many people living here, and the small ones were discovered here by accident."

"Shimane County, Iwami Silver Mine!" Hearing Ishii Matsune's words, Zhu Song stroked his chin and pondered.

Iwami Silver Mine, to be precise, should be Iwami Silver Mine.

Iwami Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in Japan from the late Warring States period to the early Edo period.

Someone once made statistics. In the 17th century, the silver output of Iwami Ginzan accounted for one-third of the world's total silver output.

Now it seems that this guy is not lying, and the shit is lucky, he found this place by chance.

"You never asked someone to detect it, how big is that silver mine?" Zhu Song stared at him and asked.

"The little one did find someone to detect it." Ishii Matsune nodded obediently and said: "According to the news from the detection, it is not a silver mine at all, but a silver mountain! The little one has been there since he discovered it. It's been seven years now, and the small ones have been mined for seven years, but it's just the tip of the iceberg."

"Fuck, what did you say?"

Except for Zhu Song who knew the result a long time ago, everyone in the hall couldn't hold it anymore.

For so many years, it is impossible for Ishii Matsune to have discovered the Iwami Silver Mine alone, and it is believed that other people have also discovered it.

In seven years, the mining of so many people turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg of the silver mine. Isn't this fucking deceiving people?

The current Ming Dynasty is different from the pre-Qin and Tang Dynasty. The current Ming Dynasty implements the silver standard, and all gold and silver are precious metals, which can be used for living.

Therefore, when they heard that a silver mountain was discovered in Japan, everyone was really surprised.

Seeing the expressions of surprise on the faces of Zhu Youxuan, Yang Shiqi, and Zhang Fu, which couldn't be resolved for a while, Zhu Song coughed lightly and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I don't dare to deceive you in the slightest. In Iwami, Shimane Prefecture, a mountain of silver with astonishing reserves has indeed been discovered!"

Ishii Matsune's tone was very firm, as if he was afraid that Zhu Song and the others would not believe it, and continued: "In order to facilitate the mining of silver mines, I specially bought a piece of land in Shimane County and built a house and a silver smelting factory. If you don't believe me , the younger one can take you to Shimane County to have a look."

"Don't tell me, you are the only one who mines the Iwami Mine." Zhu Song looked at Ishii Matsune with a half-smile, and said, "It's impossible for the Japanese court not to discover the huge reserves of the Iwami Silver Mine."

"The discovery is a discovery, but they dare not mine on a large scale." Hearing Zhu Song's question, Ishii Songgen seemed to have thought of something, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his tone:

"I once heard from a friend that the imperial court secretly organized two large-scale mining operations. One was unlucky enough to encounter an earthquake, and seven or eight thousand soldiers died. The other was a volcanic eruption. Almost the entire army was wiped out. Since then, the imperial court has not mined any more.”

"No, they don't mine themselves, so don't they restrict you?" Zhu Song is very aware of the selfish nature of the little Japanese. What he can't do by himself is often not allowed to be done by others.

"The imperial court is naturally not reconciled." Ishii Matsune had a resentful look on his face, "The imperial court established a 'Silver Mine Supervision Department' in Shimane County. As long as it is mined from the Iwami Silver Mine, we must Hand in fifty percent."

"Hahaha, Hou Xiaosong is not ruthless enough. If I am the king, you will definitely hand over [-]% of the refined silver!"

Zhu Song laughed, and said: "Okay, you have nothing to do here, you go back and get ready. In two days, the king will arrange soldiers to go to Shimane County to investigate, and you will lead the way."

"Yes, I understand." Ishii Matsune nodded obediently, turned around and left.

Here they are one breath away and don't want to stay anymore, these people are just horrible.

When Ishii Songgen left the Taiji Hall, Zhu Youxuan said to Zhu Song: "Uncle Song Huang, do you trust him?"

"So what if you don't believe me?" Zhu Song asked back, "Could it be that you forgot the gold bricks and silver bricks that were found on Kogoro Kameda's boat when you were in the 'control zone' of North Korea? According to Komatsu's instruction, how can he carry so much gold and silver with the ship?"

"According to the Japanese on board, isn't that what the gold and silver are going to do in the Kingdom of Korea?" Zhu Youxuan said with some astonishment: "Besides, Japan says it's not big, it's not small. Is it still a problem to produce hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver bricks?"

"It's not that simple!" Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "Send someone to look at it tomorrow and we'll find out!"

"That nephew..." Zhu Youxuan remembered that Zhu Song wanted to drive him away just now, and wanted to take this opportunity to stay.

"What are you?" Zhu Song cast a glance at Zhu Youxuan, and said, "Don't think that the king will keep you guys here just because he needs manpower now. Write down all the information who sent you from Nanjing. Two Days later, you guys will go back to Nanjing City!"

Zhu Youxuan immediately lowered his head, and replied somewhat dejectedly: "Yes!"

……

The next day, Zhu Song indeed dispatched an army of 5000 men, led by Zhang Fu, to Shimane County.

It doesn't take long to travel from Kyoto, Japan to Shimane Prefecture in the San'in area.

On the [-]th, five thousand troops made a round trip from Kyoto to Shimane, including three days of detection on the Iwami Mine, and the army personally excavated some rough ores from the Iwami Mine, and brought them all the way back to Kyoto.

Zhang Fu, who returned to Kyoto, went directly to the palace to meet Zhu Song.

"How is it? Is Ishii Songgen lying to us?" Zhu Song asked straight to the point.

"My lord, it's really a happy event!" Zhang Fu couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and that face smiled happily:
