Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1810

Chapter 1810

When Wang Xuance's urgent report arrived in Fang Jun's hands, the first batch of miners from the Jiangnan area had already arrived with the boat.

In fact, as long as the sea does not freeze, the boat will travel faster in winter. In addition, there is an ocean current in the Korean Strait flowing along the northern part of Honshu Island all the way to the northeast, and the speed of the boat will be faster!

The miners of the Tang Dynasty were naturally a hundred times better than the slaves who plundered from all over the country. They first dug and explored the place where the gold mine was found, and then found a large number of wild onions and holly around, and then searched for these two plants all over the mountains. After a certain distance, they drilled holes for exploration, and within a few days, they explored the entire vein of the gold mine.

This made Fang Jun amazed. If you find wild onions and holly, you can find gold mines?

However, the facts made him believe it, probably because the gold and silver veins will make the soil contain trace elements, which are beneficial to the growth of specific plants. This explanation is still very scientific.

Sure enough, the old miner with a gray beard and a strong body told him that under normal circumstances, there is a high probability of copper and tin mines under ginger plants, silver mines under wild onions, and gold mines under wild holly... Although it is not 100% accurate, there may not necessarily be mines where there are these plants, but as long as there are mines, these plants will definitely grow on them.

Fang Jun was amazed, the wisdom of the old ancestor made him dumbfounded and amazed.

And the old miner was so excited that he was so excited that a gold mine of this scale had never been found in Datang. Not only were the reserves large, but the quality was also good. A hole is an ore rich in gold. It only needs a little smelting to get gold with excellent quality.

There is even a silver vein as an associated mine of the gold mine, and its reserves are several times that of the gold mine...

The old miner concluded that even if all the miners in Datang were recruited from this gold mine, it would be enough to mine it for decades or even hundreds of years!

Fang Jun smiled slightly, if it wasn't for such a big mine, he might not be able to remember it, if there were only three melons and two dates, he wouldn't be able to spend such a lot of effort to steal...

Finding the ore veins is easy. You don't have to dig into the ground with a mine hole. You only need to dig a few more mine holes along the ore veins, and you can mine at the same time, and the speed is several times faster.

This is a huge amount of wealth, and no one dares to take it privately, otherwise even Fang Jun will be wiped out.Therefore, he had already sent someone to Chang'an to write the details of the matter into the memorial and submit it to His Majesty Li Er for review.

The Datang Royal Navy was established to serve the "East Datang Company", and now it is discovered that this gold mine must naturally be attributed to the "East Datang Company". His Majesty Li Er holds the majority of the shares, and Fang Jun is the first The second largest shareholder, and the rest of the major families in Guanzhong also more or less have a share.It is conceivable that when the news spread to Chang'an, many people were overjoyed, dreaming of dazzling gold...

As for sharing such a distance, Fang Jun didn't feel bad at all.

The so-called "If you want to take what you want, you must give it first", let those aristocratic families know that following in the footsteps of the emperor will bring countless benefits, which are more and faster than the wealth they have accumulated for generations. Governance touches their interests. As long as the method of boiling frogs in warm water is not too violent, they can only endure it.

Otherwise, if the emperor gets angry and doesn't take you to play, how much loss will he have?

The most important thing is that the emperor kicked you away, but the other family still followed the emperor to grab huge benefits, and the gap soon became apparent.The clans of aristocratic families are entangled with each other, but they also compete with each other. If your family sails against the current and does not advance, it will retreat, but the other family will make great progress. It will not take long. Second-rate family...

The brilliance of His Majesty Li Er lies in the fact that he hates the powerful family, but he can control his emotions and means very well. He never uses drastic methods to weaken the power of the powerful family, but adopts the comparison of "enrolling in the imperial examination" and so on. Moderate method.

At present, the aristocratic families are still the beneficiaries of education. "Entry into the imperial examination" seems to promote the children of poor families, but in fact, the children of the aristocratic family have better knowledge and higher quality. At least the rejection is not strong.

One piece at a time, one advance and one retreat, coupled with huge commercial interests, the aristocratic family had to obediently follow the pace of His Majesty Li Er, not daring or willing to withdraw...

Fang Jun can't play with such things as mining, so he will guide how to build a blast furnace to smelt gold faster, but this kind of thing is naturally done by the craftsmen of Fangjia Iron Factory. Open your mouth, don't move your hands.

Received Wang Xuance's report, Fang Jun almost jumped up with joy!

This kid is really good at sowing dissension and bewitching people's hearts. Although he probably doesn't have the highlight performance of destroying a country by one person now, but with just one mouth, he split the Su family and caused chaos in the Japanese country. Much more!

However, although the situation in Asuka is tense, and Su's family is in dire straits against several feudal armies under the banner of "King Fengtianqin", but relying on Wang Xuance's more than a thousand elite sailors, they are still very confident in defending Asuka and Su's family. of.

Don't look at what Prince Shotoku wrote to Emperor Sui Yang's country back then, "The emperor at the sunrise respects the emperor at the sunset". At the same level, in fact, the comparison between the combat power of the Tang army and the Japanese army is roughly that of a 30-year-old strong man facing a juvenile waste material...

Just hit.

Arrange the miners to open mines in a leisurely manner, divide the navy into two, and part of it is led by Su Dingfang to garrison Sado Island to strictly prevent the Abebirov from the Goetsu Kingdom on the other side from playing a sneak attack. The waterway between Chikushi Island and Nambatsu.

When I arrive, I think the Ainu people in the north will attack the city and plunder all the way, and they should also attack the vicinity of Asuka, and then I can appear as a savior again, keep the Japanese community, and become a grateful hero and most respected by the Japanese. International friends, and then slaughter them severely...

Su Dingfang has no doubts about such an arrangement, what good is the Wa country?There is nothing exciting to see when a dog's head is shot out of a human head, and now he only has Sado Island in his eyes, and only gold mines!

What does the army rely on?

What are ordnance made of?

What is the transportation of the luggage?

money!

Everything is piled up with money. The quality of soldiers is of course very important, but sufficient national strength is more important!Back then, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty swept the Central Plains in the Southern and Northern Wars. Was the combat power weak?Absolutely not weak!But in the face of Jieli Khan leading the Turkic wolf cavalry to drive straight to the bank of the Wei River, why couldn't he stop it, and even had to humiliate and sign the alliance under the city in the end?

The national strength is not enough!

Years of wars have already exhausted the treasury, the army has no money to equip, and morale is low. What do they have to go head-to-head with Turkic Wolf Riders?

After a few years, the Tang Dynasty slowed down, and then chased the Turkic ass into the grassland, defeated the Turkic in one fell swoop, and captured Khan alive...

So Su Dingfang said to Fang Jun: Go to yours, go wherever you like, anyway, I will not go anywhere, just guard here on Sado Island, as long as I don't die, Sado Island will never be lost!

Everything was agreed, and Fang Jun led the fleet to the south along the west coast of Honshu Island, walking slowly, ordering the fleet to catch more sharks along the way, and cooking cod liver oil for the soldiers to eat.Even in Datang, due to the low productivity, people's daily nutritional intake is far from enough, and night blindness is a common phenomenon, and cod liver oil is a good medicine for treating night blindness.

Fang Jun once watched a large-scale documentary about Japanese whaling before, which introduced the hydrology of the whale sea in detail. In the western sea area, there is a cold current from the Tatar Strait of Sakhalin Island going south along the north coast, and in the eastern sea area. The warm current from the Korea Strait goes north along the west coast of Honshu Island and Hokkaido, thus forming obvious convection.

Sea water usually flows in a counterclockwise direction. The northern waters of Whale Sea are affected by the cold current and freeze in winter, while the southern waters are much warmer. This also makes the climate of Waguozhao warmer and wetter than that of mainland China at the same latitude.From the end of each year to the beginning of the next spring, the monsoon from Siberia in the northwest will blow the cold current in the north to the south, causing continuous snowfall on the mountainous western coast of the Japanese islands...

And this season is the best time for whaling and shark hunting.
