Chapter 1783 A Golden Mountain
On the mountainside not far from the west beach, dozens of sailor soldiers and craftsmen couldn't help but cheered loudly!
A large piece of rock was blasted by gunpowder, slipping away from the mountain and falling to the foot of the mountain, and even smashed two artisans who couldn't avoid it to a pulp. The mountains with golden textures shocked me into ecstasy!
This is a gold mine!
The craftsmen here are all sent here by the nobles of the Japanese country. They are quite experienced in prospecting and mining. Just looking at the direction of the veins of this gold mine, it might be all under the whole mountain. Even if there is only half of it, the number mined is enough to make people Jaw-dropping!
This damn thing is a golden mountain!
When Fang Jun arrived in a hurry, all the soldiers and craftsmen present looked at him with admiration and obsession...
Everyone knows that the reason why he let go of the troops and nearly turned over a mountain range to search for the treasure was because the marquis had a dream, and it was too capricious to go to war with such a large scale because of a dream. This was almost everyone's initial thought, including Su Dingfang, who was loyal to Fang Jun, and the sailors.
But now, the eyes of everyone looking at Fang Jun have undergone earth-shaking changes...
What kind of luck is it that you can find a gold mine in any dream?
He is simply a person favored by the heavens, and he is about to defy the heavens!
Fang Jun stepped forward to caress the mountain rocks blooming with golden veins, determined in his heart that as long as he discovers this world-famous gold mine, this trip will definitely be worthwhile.
Compared with this, what is the navy of Goguryeo?
This mine, which has appeared in countless time-travel novels, is a gold and silver mine that produces [-] tons of gold and [-] tons of silver...
So much gold is enough to make Datang's national strength to a higher level, so that Fang Jun's concept of Datang's infrastructure construction has sufficient financial support!
It is even possible to use these gold as a reserve fund to generate a super bank and completely change Datang's financial model.
It's just that when the time comes, we need to choose between the gold standard and the silver standard...
"All the soldiers, artisans, and miners who participated in the search were not rewarded with five hundred copper coins. Those who discovered this gold mine will be rewarded with copper coins! From now on, the number of ships and the number of patrols patrolling the entire island will be doubled. It must be ensured that no one can enter and leave Sado Island at will, and the artisans and miners will be organized in groups of five, together with the navy soldiers, and the system will be implemented in succession. If one person is missing, all five will be beheaded!"
The news of the discovery of gold mines on Sado Island must be strictly sealed, at least until the dispute with the Wa Kingdom on Sado Island is resolved, it must not be known to the Wa Kingdom, otherwise the Wa Kingdom will definitely use the power of the whole country to attack. Who can leave such a gold mountain? Indifferent?
The navy is not afraid of the fighting power of the Japanese country, but it is against Fang Jun’s intention to go to war at this time. The Japanese country must be dealt with, and the emperor must be killed, but it is best to let the Ainu people charge forward as the vanguard, and Datang will follow It's good to secretly support the flag-raising in the background...
Everyone understands this order, even the captured Japanese artisans and miners are meaningless.
No matter how stupid people are, they know what kind of wealth this golden mountain means. In order to conceal this news, five people sitting in a row is already the lightest punishment. If it is replaced by the brutal Japanese nobles, they can directly kill everyone present...
"Here!"
Su Dingfang took the order immediately.
Now he is already shocked by Fang Jun. If he just dreams, he can dream of a gold mine. Who would dare to believe it? !
But now that there is a real golden mountain in front of him, looking at Fang Jun's joyful but still calm expression, he feels like worshiping.
This is the difference...
All the sailors are excited, the soldiers have the highest sense of honor, and the navy is the leader in the Tang army. To find such a big golden mountain, everyone knows that this means that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will be improved. Building, also means that the military expenditure will become increasingly huge.
More and more new weapons are mastered by the soldiers, which also makes the soldiers pay more and more attention to the importance of weapons. "When the two armies meet, the brave wins" is certainly an important factor in determining the outcome of a war, but in the comprehensive suppression of weapons and equipment In front of you, sometimes being brave just means dying more heroically...
For example, when naval forces from all over the world and the Tang Navy met on the sea, the Tang Navy’s ships were stronger, faster, with more and longer poles, and they also had artillery that could destroy the enemy ten miles away. What's the use of a little bravery?
As long as Tang Jun doesn't collapse himself, everyone has no choice but to fail...
Better weapons and equipment mean more victories, and soldiers can survive to the maximum extent.
However, more money is needed to develop and manufacture new types of weapons. The empire’s financial resources are limited after all. The tens of thousands of cavalry in the northwest are even more gold-swallowing monsters. They are the force to protect the border of the empire from the invasion and attack of the Turkic Hu tribe. Guarantee the priority supply of military expenditures, and it is the navy's turn, how much of the limited military expenditures can be left?
It must be known that there are already many bigwigs in the court who see the navy getting in the way, and they have repeatedly asked the emperor to reduce the military expenditure of the navy to a minimum...
Now that this gold mine is discovered on Sado Island, it is true that the emperor's internal money and the empire's treasury will be used in the end, but as the navy responsible for mining, transporting, and protecting this gold mine, it will definitely get more priority.
Every increase in military expenditure will make the armament stronger, and it will be easier for soldiers to obtain military exploits and survive in the war.
How can the soldiers not rejoice and boost their morale?
The next thing is simple. The navy will conduct uninterrupted patrols around Sado Island. It is necessary to ensure that the waterway is blocked and the news will not be leaked. Then someone rushed back to Huating Town and urged Datang to send more experienced people. miners and craftsmen.
*****
After Abebirov returned to Yue, he immediately wrote a secret letter and sent his confidantes to send it to Asuka, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor for review, and asked the Emperor, princes and ministers to decide.
Facing Fang Jun, Abebirov was furious, but he was helpless.
He didn't dare to decide whether to pay compensation, let alone decide whether to cede Sado Island...
Every choice may lead to a head-on confrontation with Datang, which he is absolutely unwilling to face. The arrogant Marquis of Datang bullied others too much with the power of Datang, but he could only swallow his anger However, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can be tough and declare war directly. I also have to experience the combat power of the Tang Army's navy, so that the boy from the Tang Dynasty's noble background can see how powerful he is!
As long as it doesn't cause the Wa country to fall completely, even if he dies, he won't care about it...
……
Autumn rain patters.
The verdant and towering Xiangju Mountain, Ercheng Mountain, and Mubang Mountain form a three-legged trend, surrounded by a plain land with clear water and beautiful water.The terrain here is gentle, the river is clear, and palaces are rising one after another. The mountain city surrounded by stone walls, beautiful gardens and ponds, and exquisite temple houses have a sense of superior terrain and imperial atmosphere.
This is Asuka, the capital of the Wa Kingdom...
In the Bangai Palace, it was clear and quiet.
The pattering autumn rain falls on the terracotta tiles of the roof, flows down the tiles, and drips on the bluestone slabs in front of the eaves.
Inside the palace, a young man knelt before the table, staring intently at the letter in his hand.
This person is dressed in plain linen robes, not tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly dark face, and a calm demeanor. At this moment, he is kneeling on the ground, holding the letter in one hand, and holding the golden sheath sword at his waist in the other. The head of the sword hangs down with a touch of tassel , adorned with a clean and flawless white jade pendant.
It is the son of Emperor Huangji, Prince Katsuragi...
Opposite him, there was a middle-aged man with a clear face sitting on his knees.
This man was about 40 years old, wearing a crown of lacquered gauze on his head, a dark green gown with stitched left and right sides, a long red belt on the left lapel, and a white hakama underneath.His brows are clear and his eyes are calm, his back is straight when he sits there, he looks like a celebrity from the Central Plains...
Two maids with pink faces stood in the hall with their heads bowed.
A lamp of sandalwood was burning in a copper stove beside it, with green smoke curling up and a fragrant aroma.
After a long time, Prince Gecheng just put down the letterhead in his hand, placed it lightly on the table in front of him, let out a breath, frowned and said: "Mr. Zhongchen, what do you think about this?"
The handsome middle-aged man is the chief think tank of Prince Katsuragi, the favorite student of the great Confucian of the Japanese kingdom Nanyuan Qingan, Zhongchen Kamazu.
