When Zhuang Chengyi saw the coolies of the Ministry of Industry mining ore from Iwami Silver Mountain, and watched them refine the silver and cast the silver into silver ingots, the last trace of worry in Zhuang Chengyi's heart disappeared without a trace.

Especially when the coolies of the Ministry of Industry explored for several days and did not understand the specific reserves of Yinshan, and finally could only give a few decades of incomplete data, Zhuang Chengyi's old face smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum.

The officials are right, there is money to be made by fighting.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is just this silver mountain, it has already earned back ten times and a hundred times the cost of this expedition to the Japanese country.

Not to mention that there are two more gold mines waiting to be explored.

With gold and silver mines, more money can be issued, and more money can be issued, which means more money can be used where it is needed.

Whether it is allocated to the Ministry of Industry to dredge the river, or to the Ministry of Rites to build a school, he can do it without blinking his eyes and wave his hand - on the basis of your budget, you will be given two more ...... I'll give you one more!

Look, what does it mean to be generous? What does it mean to be bold?

That's the atmosphere! That's what boldness is!

This is what the official family calls rich and capricious!

Thinking of such a wonderful scene, Zhuang Chengyi's heart became even hotter, and when he pulled Gao Zi'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, aside, and said in a low voice: "When will this silver mine be mined?" How many people are needed? ”

Gao Zi'an thought about it and said, "As long as the labor is in place, it can be mined at any time." As for the manpower, the more the better. ”

"Three thousand laborers? Or five thousand laborers? ”

Zhuang Chengyi asked: "As long as you Gao Shangshu says a word, the old man will let it go, even if he steals and robs, he will get you enough labor." ”

Gao Zi snorted secretly, turned his head to look at Zhao Huan's imperial chariot, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed for Zhao Huan in his heart - the worker who had just arrived had not yet covered the heat, and was worried about this old Pixiu......

"Five thousand laborers, thrown on the top of the mining in the mountains, but they can't even make a splash."

Gao Zi Anxin hurt Zhao Huan for three seconds, and then turned his head to Zhuang Chengyi and said: "When you first start mining in the early stage, it must be troublesome, and there will definitely be more dead laborers, at least about 20,000 to 50,000." When it stabilized, the number of laborers in the mine was about 5,000. ”

Zhuang Chengyi snorted, and began to think about it in his heart.

20,000 or 50,000 laborers is not a problem, anyway, the officials have not 100,000 or 80,000 in their hands, and as long as the household department pays for them, these laborers can be intercepted all.

And for the household department in charge of the big Song Dynasty's money bag, money is the most indifferent thing - anyway, it is reversed from the left hand to the right hand, and it still has to go into the treasury in the end, and now it is nothing to take it out first and let the official family enjoy it.

The problem is in this place, and in the body of these laborers.

A large number of laborers are working together, and there must be an overseer. And the laborers here are all Japanese slaves, and they are familiar with the environment here, so it is not too convenient to escape or something.

Therefore, we have to consider the problem of garrison, so as to save these Japanese slaves from making trouble.

And there is a large area of land here, and it would be too wasteful not to use it for farming.

So, speaking of which, in the end, you still have to immigrate, garrison.

Immigration costs money. The garrison also costs money. Moreover, if there are immigrants, there must be a government, and the officials of the government must also be paid.

It's very distressing.

Zhuang Chengyi hates this feeling of spending money before it arrives, even if it is to make more money - how much money is in the treasury, but it is related to how loud he can speak!

No money?

I don't have money and talk about a chicken.

Although the official family is not good at building palaces and the like, his old man is good at fighting wars and building roads and schools, and there is a Yellow River Club that makes a little noise from time to time, and it costs money everywhere.

It's too difficult for me to be a secretary of the household......

After feeling sorry for himself for a second, Zhuang Chengyi finally gritted his teeth and said to Gao Zi'an: "Fifty thousand laborers!" The old man first tried to get you 50,000 laborers to come and open the mine. But the 50,000 laborers are not given to you for free, and you have to make sure to get the money out as soon as possible. ”

Gao Zi'an nodded and said, "You have also seen that this silver mountain is placed here, as long as the labor is in place, the silver will be mined soon." ”

Zhuang Chengyi nodded, and then went to Zhao Huan: "Qiguan family, the Ministry of Industry needs 50,000 laborers to open the mine." He also asked the official family to let people allocate 50,000 laborers to come out, and the household department was willing to pay 200,000 yuan. ”

Zhao Huan wondered if I usually behaved a little stupid, so that this Zhuang Pixiu didn't know how to count? The price of these 50,000 laborers is obviously 250,000 yuan, how can it become 200,000 yuan when I get here? Can this thing still be discounted in group buying?

You are Zhuang Pixiu, isn't Zhuang Duoduo!

"This silver mountain has 10% of the internal money of the official family, and now the mining needs labor, and the internal capital will naturally have to come up with money to buy labor, and it is impossible for the treasury to pay for the internal money."

Then Zhao Huan was a little confused.

If the math teacher of the year had taught correctly, then the achievement of 50,000 laborers should have been 5,000 laborers, right? It should be, right?

A laborer earns five thousand, and five thousand laborers are twenty-five thousand, right?

How did he get to his Zhuang Pixiu here and become 50,000 guan?

Directly doubled, bastard!

"Wechen miscalculated."

Zhuang Chengyi's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, but he justified it eloquently: "Weichen should use the Great Song Operator to make silent calculations in his heart, and it is inevitable that some mistakes will be made." ”

"Alright, don't pretend to be confused there."

Looking at Zhuang Chengyi's face with a look of shame but pride, Zhao Huan suddenly said angrily: "Anyway, this money is from the treasury to the treasury, and I can't look at this money, I dare not be too lazy to listen to you grinding your teeth with me here." ”

"However, the Wa Kingdom is not big, it is not small, at least it is no problem to move millions of people over - the money for these people has to be paid by your household."

Zhuang Chengyi was distressed and secretly complained to himself: Wasn't this money originally from the household...... I didn't let you take a penny out of your pocket......

Although under normal circumstances, the household department pays for it, and the old man then borrows from the house, but after all, this money is from the household department!

It's still very distressing.

But when he turned his head and thought about it, Zhuang Chengyi felt that something was wrong.

What is the root of immigrating to Yingzhou Shibian?

It's up to the people!

To put it bluntly, if you have enough people to immigrate to Shibian, if you don't even have many people, which people do you move?

Originally, the territory of Liao, the territory of Western Xia, and the territory of Jiaozhi...... You have to add the territory of Dali and Zhenla.

It's easy to say that there are still Dali and Zhenla in Liao, but like Xixia and Jiaozhi, they were all slaughtered, and those who were not slaughtered were all arrested and sold for labor, and then a large number of people from the Great Song Dynasty were relocated.

Therefore, the current problem, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not enough!

So, where did the people who couldn't eat, the landless people, and the displaced people go in the previous years of the Great Song Dynasty?
