Chapter 1778
In the evening, Fang Jun tentatively designated this house as his residence, stayed with everyone, and listened to the summary of his subordinates.
"A total of 13 mines have been found on the island, all of which are silver mines of different sizes, but there are no large-scale mines. Generally speaking, the caves are dug out along the veins of the mountain, and the walls are supported by wood. There are many landslides, the mining technology is backward, and the efficiency is extremely low.”
Wang Xuance took the information collected by his subordinates and reported to Fang Jun.
Compared with the use of gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty to mine mountains, the mining technology of the Japanese country is really backward. It can only dig open-pit mines, and there is nothing that can be done if it is a little deeper.
As for the many silver mines all over the island, no one cares.
Because although silver is precious in this era, it is not a currency and cannot replace gold and copper for trade, it can only be regarded as a luxury.Even these mines opened by Japanese nobles to mine silver are mostly for the production of luxurious decorative utensils or for sale or for their own use...
Fang Jun stared at a simple topographic map of Sado Island that had just been drawn on the table, and pointed to the easternmost part of the mountain range in the north: "Tomorrow, gather all the miners on the island and explore for mineral veins in this area."
Although Wang Xuance was puzzled, he nodded in response.
Su Dingfang has a high status and is more comfortable in front of Fang Jun. He asked suspiciously: "There are many silver mines on this island. If Lord Hou wants to mine, he can take them all. Anyway, this island is in our pocket. It is easy to lose money." It won’t be handed over, you can mine it whenever you want. Why bother to mine veins again?”
Fang Jun held the teacup and lingered on drinking tea, his thoughts turned.
He had watched a documentary about the Sado Gold Mine in his previous life. Although he was not sure of the exact location of the mine, he still remembered the general location of the mine. This is why he went all the way north and directly captured Sado Island. An important financial pillar of the Edo shogunate, it has been mined for hundreds of years, and a total of nearly [-] tons of gold have been mined...
However, it is not difficult to occupy Sado Island, and mining is not difficult. The difficulty is how to explain the origin of the gold mine to this other person.
How can you find a big gold mine on such a deserted island?
In fact, no matter how you explain it, it is full of mistakes and omissions, and there will always be doubts.
Therefore, Fang Jun's idea is simple...
"Last night, I had a dream on the boat. I dreamed that the mountains of Sado Island were shining with golden lights. You all know that a certain person's eyelids have been twitching non-stop for the past two days. Maybe God has something good to happen to him? Let those miners look for it, maybe they can find some treasures here."
Everyone was speechless, but they couldn't refute.
There is a market for ghosts and ghosts in this era. Even Confucius said, "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them."Like ghosts and gods, dreams are mysterious and unfathomable things. Even if you don't believe it, you can't say it...
Dreams are signs given by God, and most people believe in this view.
Not to mention thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, many people have encountered the same situation in reality as in their previous dreams. How can this be explained?
So when Fang Jun said this, no one refuted it.
Even if it is just to clear up doubts, it is necessary to do so...
"How to deal with the Japanese people on the island?" Su Dingfang was concerned about the human problem, and how to deal with this problem meant Fang Jun's attitude towards the Japanese country.
Fang Jun said indifferently: "All the soldiers will be beheaded, all the slaves will be confined, and then more Japanese slaves will be sent here, and all of them will be sent to mines for mining."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Shiju.
Where can more Japanese slaves mine?
Naturally, it is necessary for Ji Shiju to lead the Ainu people all the way to capture the land of the Japanese country, and plunder the Japanese people so far...
Ji Shiju nodded solemnly.
It was impossible for the Tang army to attack the Wa country head-on, so the Ainu people had to be used as knives in their hands for so long, and they swung at the Japanese people fiercely.But Ji Shiju is the same as all Ainu people, they don't care about being the knife of the Tang people, or being used by the Tang people.
Now that the Ainu people are armed with the equipment of the Tang people, and with the support of the Tang army behind them, taking back the land where their ancestors lived is no longer an extravagant hope in dreams. Not only do they want to take back the land swallowed by the Japanese people, but they also want to remove the Japanese people from this land. wipe out……
Fang Jun nodded and smiled and said: "This island must be occupied, and no one will give it to anyone who wants it. Then, we have to talk about a big event. The Tang Dynasty's eastern expedition to Goguryeo is coming soon. We must find a way to contain the Wa country."
It is not enough to rely solely on the Ainu people to contain the Wa country. Even with the equipment of the Tang army, the Ainu population is too small, and there are fewer young and strong. How long will it take to flatten Honshu Island?
Wang Xuance said: "If we brazenly send troops at this moment, it is inevitable that we will give up the truth. After all, the Wa Kingdom has always been honest. Even those officials and scholars in our court will spit on us... Then we can only find a way from the inside of the Wa Kingdom. .”
Fang Jun looked at him with a smile and asked, "What's your plan?"
Wang Xuance said modestly: "I don't dare to make a good policy, but just now I heard that the throne of the Japanese kingdom seems to be endlessly fighting, maybe we can make a fuss from it..."
Fang Jun smiled without saying a word.
This person is indeed a good hand at sowing dissension and coordinating vertically and horizontally. He probably has no hope of accomplishing the feat of "one person destroying a country" in this life, but if he can demonstrate his ability in the history of the Japanese country, it will be left to future generations. The evaluation must be higher.
Su Dingfang frowned and asked: "The so-called making a fuss is nothing more than weeding out the strong and helping the weak, but there is not much difference between the various forces in the Wa Kingdom. Who do we want to eradicate and assist?"
One is the Suga family with power all over the world, the other is the righteous Emperor Huangji, and the other is the heir of the royal family with pure blood... It makes sense to choose anyone, but it is really not easy to choose.
Fang Jun straightened his back, put the teacup on the table, and said, "It's actually very simple. Whoever is most important to the inheritance of the Wa Kingdom, we will eliminate first."
The answer is easy, except for Emperor Huangji, that is, Prince Katsuragi, who is the heir of the royal family. These two bear the emperor's blood and are the authentic lineage of the emperor's inheritance.In comparison, no matter how powerful the Suga family is, it is naturally short by a head. Supporting the Suga family to confront the emperor's line, the two sides will be evenly matched. This is the best situation, which can affect the internal affairs of the Wa country to the greatest extent. .
Then let the Ainu people eat the land of Wa Kingdom bit by bit...
"Then we support the Suga family? The Suga family is a powerful minister of the Wa Kingdom, with a huge power and deep foundation. With our help, it will not be difficult to destroy the emperor!" Jin Famin was eager to try.
Regardless of Silla, Baekje, or Goguryeo, they have a deep hatred with the Japanese. For hundreds of years, they have suffered a lot from the Japanese.
Fang Jun smiled and remained silent.
It is right to support Su Wo, the biggest reason is that Su Wo believes in Buddhism...
He doesn't know much about the history of the Wa Kingdom, but he also knows that there was a famous "faith dispute" in the history of the Wa Kingdom. The Soga clan who believed in Buddhism fought against the Monobe clan who insisted on the local gods. The result ended in the victory of the Soga clan. The practice of believing in Buddhism prevailed in Japan.
If Buddhism had become the mainstream in Japan, perhaps the history would be completely different.
Although the teachings of Buddhism are different in different eras, they are generally not bad. They all encourage people to be kind, humble and forbearing. In terms of cohesion, they are far from "Shintoism"!Just imagine, if the Wa country had believed in Buddhism for hundreds of thousands of years, would there still be people shouting "Kamikaze" to make suicide attacks?Will there still be "Bushido" who cut their stomachs with a knife?
However, the Suga clan was in its heyday and Buddhism was very popular, but in the end after the Suga clan was defeated by the court, it was finally overwhelmed by Shintoism...
If you can support Suga's long-term ruling, maybe Shintoism will be regarded as "heretical" and suppressed. Thinking about it, I will feel a sense of accomplishment...
Ji Shiju said: "It's easy to support the Suga clan, but it's as difficult as climbing the sky to persuade the Suga clan to completely break with the emperor."
Su Dingfang was puzzled and said: "With the support of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the Suwo family, it is easy to overthrow the emperor and replace him. Could it be that he can still refuse the temptation to become the lord of the Japanese kingdom?"
Since they are powerful ministers, there are not many loyal ones who say that they will serve the country with loyalty. Once they have the opportunity, they will not want to sit in the position of the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, and even pass on the entire country from generation to generation. , become the master of the world from generation to generation?
Ji Shiju smiled wryly and said: "In the past, it might not be possible, but since Prince Shotoku promulgated the "Seventeen Article Constitution", the emperor has been deified and has an unparalleled lofty status in Japan. Soga's intention to destroy the emperor's lineage is inevitable. We will face the crusade against all the aristocratic rulers of the entire Wa Kingdom..."
