Silver is more active than gold.

Among the large gold mines, pure natural gold such as dog's head gold can also be found occasionally.

But things like ko's head silver are difficult to exist naturally, and most of the time, silver exists in the form of compounds.

However, this did not affect Yao Mosan's judgment on whether the silver mine was good or bad, even if he didn't understand what a compound was.

The gray in front of him revealed a little bit of white stone, which was exactly what Yao Mosan had dreamed of.

This is a mineral deposit with extremely rich silver content, and Yao Mosan, who has traveled to almost all the gold and silver mines in Datang, soon had his own preliminary judgment.

"Whoa!"

Yao Mosan flipped over the stones in front of him and continued to check the situation on the ground and walls.

"The emperor has lived up to his wishes, after a year of tossing over the mountains and mountains, I finally found your shadow."

Seeing that the ground was full of this kind of ore, Yao Mosan excitedly put down the oil lamp and stretched out his hands to caress it.

"You, all shift direction, go in this direction, dig diagonally down."

"Whoa!"

There were Japanese helpers on the side, Yao Mosan couldn't help but go to report the good news to Yu Chihuan, picked up a piece of silver ore by himself, didn't take the oil lamp, and walked out directly by the faint candlelight in the cave.

"Lang Jun, look at it!"

Wei Chihuan was standing at the door of the mine in a daze.

In the past, Yao Mo entered the mine three times, and he would not come out until he had used it for two quarters of an hour, but he didn't expect that today he would come out after just entering for a while.

The way he yelled almost scared me.

"Look at what, look!"

Wei Chi was angry, but as soon as the words landed, his brain returned to normal.

"Could it be...... This is the silver mine? ”

"Rich silver mines! It's definitely a silver mine! Lang Jun, there is probably really a silver mountain here! ”

Although Yao Mosan swore to Yu Chihuan that this was the location of the Silver Mountain that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, to be honest, he actually didn't have any score in his heart.

Now......

Nine times out of ten, it's stable!

"Let's go! I'll go in and check it out, too! ”

Wei Chihuan immediately went into the mine to see what was going on.

"Wait a minute, Lang Jun, the top priority is to block the news. This time, we only have a few dozen guards, so we have to hurry up and bring another prospecting team led by Fang Erlang over, otherwise, something may happen. ”

Yao Mosan has been in various mineral deposits for a long time, and he has seen a lot of all kinds of accidents.

Although silver ore is not as gravitational as gold ore, it is also a silver mine.

Right in front of you......

It's likely that if you dig down, it's all silver ore.

Judging from the taste of the ore just now, any silver mine I saw in Datang could not compare.

Not even a fraction of the dot may not be comparable.

"You're right, I'll immediately arrange for a few guards to find my bereavement. In addition, some of the guards at the dock have also arranged for them to come over, and only by guarding this silver mine can they smelt silver with peace of mind. ”

There is no need to transport the ore here to Datang.

Although this mine is not very far from the seaside wharf, it is more than ten miles away, and the traffic situation in the Wa country is ......

Therefore, from beginning to end, Li Kuan arranged for the East China Sea fishery to implement local smelting after prospecting in the Wa Kingdom.

After purification, even if the purity is not particularly ideal, it is much easier to transport.

……

The East China Sea fishery has made full preparations this year.

In addition to the craftsmen who arranged for prospecting and refining silver, even some of the equipment that needed to be used was also prepared.

After Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai joined forces, they were no longer so excited.

On the one hand, it is not sure if it is really the Iwami Silver Mountain in the mouth of the prince, and on the other hand, there are only two or three hundred people in the East China Sea fishery here, half of whom are various craftsmen and auxiliary personnel, and there are only more than 100 guards.

If this silver mountain is really as huge as the prince said, then it will inevitably be coveted by the surrounding forces.

How to protect the mineral deposit in front of us is the most important thing to consider now.

Fortunately, in the warehouse inside the wharf, there is already some cement that has been shipped this year, and the East China Sea Fishery has built a small castle on the mountain in just a few days.

The city wall is not high, and it is only one foot high.

In order to rush the work, only concrete was poured with concrete in various important places, and the rest was cut down in the nearby birch forest as a fence, but it felt like a marching camp.

There's no way, that's all there is to it.

"Lang Jun, I'm more and more optimistic about this silver mine. The quality of these ores is really good, there is no need to screen and select, just dig them out and send them to the furnace for smelting. ”

Yao Mosan looked at the humble stove in front of him, his face full of anticipation.

I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been generous, and when he finds such a large silver mine, he will definitely not treat himself badly.

Thinking that his grandson in Chang'an City could also enter the palace of the king of Chu to study, he was full of energy.

"Well, the quality of this silver ore is absolutely nothing to say. Now we have to dig a few more mines from all over the place to see how big this silver mine is, and whether it is the silver mountain in the mouth of the prince. ”

Yu Chihuan once again thought of Li Kuan's instructions and reminders when he left Chang'an.

Once the legendary silver mountain is found, then the silver brought home by the East China Sea fishery from the Wa Kingdom every year is not only a few million taels, but can directly multiply several times, and even higher than the annual tax of the Tang Dynasty.

This credit alone may be able to make the Wei Chi family appear in a grand scene of two countries.

"In the past two days, I asked the miners to dig down diagonally for dozens of steps, and the entire mine is surrounded by this kind of rich ore, even if it is not the silver mountain in the mouth of the prince, this is also a rare big silver mine. If the scale comes up, the output of 10,000 taels of silver a day will be absolutely no problem. ”

There is no gap without comparison.

Yao Mosan has been dealing with gold and silver mines all his life, and he has seen a lot of various mineral deposits, large and small, but it is really the first time he has seen such a thing as in front of him.

"Ten thousand taels a day?"

Yu Chihuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Since he arrived in the Wa Kingdom, his vision has become much higher, but when did the silver start to be measured in 10,000?

"Brother Wei Chi, if you want me to say, leave half of the guards, and all the others will help refine the silver, and by the way, hire a group of Japanese helpers from the bottom of the mountain to increase the output as soon as possible. We've been here for a long time, calculate the time, we will have to prepare to go back to Chang'an in a short time, we can't miss the prince's wedding at that time, right? ”

Fang Yiai relied on his skills, and he was not worried at all about the idea of which forces around him dared to fight the silver mine.

And Wei Chihuan, who was originally more stable, listened to Fang Yiai's words, and couldn't help but feel that he was going to smelt a batch of silver first, and then it would be a gift for the prince's wedding.
