"Lang Jun, although no bigger dog-headed gold has been found at the entrance of this cave, there are quite a few golden sands. It seems that this should be a gold mine with a high gold content. ”

Yang Qiwa followed Li Geng and stood at the source of the canyon stream.

I saw that there was a waterhole here, and there was a secluded cave two feet above the waterhole, and the water flowed out of this cave.

Only this explanation can explain why there is so much gold in the vicinity. Although I have heard that there are some craftsmen who are responsible for the excavation of gold in various gold mines, I have never heard of any gold mine in Datang that directly produces such a thing as the dog's head gold in your arms. ”

Li Geng's mood at this time was quite excited.

Even if there is a person who has a pursuit, he will not refuse wealth.

Obviously, the gold mine in front of you will definitely be a priceless deposit.

According to the rules agreed upon before the departure of the fleet, half of the income generated by the "Gewu Academy" going to sea will go to Guanshishan Academy, 20% will go to Gewu Academy, and the remaining 30% will be used to reward the people who go to sea.

The excavation of such a gold mine is enough to make a windfall just by picking up all kinds of fist-sized gold nuggets that are visible to the naked eye.

"Lang Jun, such a large gold mine, we don't have the tools, and no one knows how to alchemy, there is definitely no way to develop it. However, when we return to Chang'an, let the academy arrange for people to come to Australia and build this gold mine, so that we will no longer have to worry about lack of funds for Gewu Academy's experiments in the future. ”

A student from Gewu Academy on the side said with excitement on his face.

In this deserted canyon, no one thought about whether they could monopolize the wealth in front of them.

Besides, as long as they can return to Chang'an safely, the normal distribution is enough to make everyone rich, and naturally no one has any other thoughts.

"Let's split up and look in this canyon to see if there's anything else to discover, and then we'll go back."

Li Geng thought quickly in his mind and began to arrange everyone's work.

……

Iwami Ginzan.

Yao Mosan inspected the mining area and looked at the grass and trees here with affection.

He has been informed that he can leave for Chang'an tomorrow.

He was specially hired by the Gewu Academy of Guanshishan Academy to teach students how to prospect for minerals, how to identify different mineral deposits, and how to smelt different minerals.

As one of the few talents in Datang who is proficient in prospecting, mining, and smelting, Yao Mosan was not so willing to come to the country at first.

Is that a place for people?

However, after actually arriving at Iwami Silver Mountain, he found that this place was not as terrifying as he imagined.

On the contrary, here, his status is much higher than that of Chang'an City.

There are tens of thousands of Tang and Japanese helpers working here in the entire Iwami Silver Mountain, and although Yao Mosan cannot be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, it is not too much worse.

"Master, you can rest assured that you will be in Chang'an, I am here, and I will definitely be able to arrange it properly."

Yao Mosan's apprentice Bai Yang persuaded on the side.

Whether it is Wei Chihuan or Cheng Chumo, when Yao Mosan was the head of the craftsman of Ishimi Yinshan, he naturally wanted to squeeze it desperately, and he was half forced to bring a group of apprentices.

Even if this Bai Yang is the one with the best understanding, he already has Yao Mo's ability to do so thirty percent.

"Bai Yang, this country can have a big silver mine like Ishimi Yinshan, I always feel that there should be other gold, silver and copper mines, these deposits are wealth, and I urgently need something in the Tang Dynasty right now. As a teacher, I hope that you can dig out more mineral deposits in the future, and don't sit on the Iwami Silver Mountain and eat the old book. ”

Yao Mosan felt a little regretful, in the past few years, his efforts have been spent on Iwami Silver Mountain.

Although this time is not a waste, after all, the silver output of Iwami Silver Mountain today is more than all the silver mines in Datang combined, and it is not a little more.

In this, of course, Yao Mosan's contribution is also due.

"Disciple understands, tomorrow Master, after you return to Chang'an, I will take a team of men and horses to Nambatsu, I heard that someone in nearby Wakayama has found gold nuggets, and I think there is likely to be a gold mine there."

No matter how well Iwami Yinshan does it, there is basically no credit for Bai Yang.

Naturally, he began to collect news about gold and silver mines in other parts of the country early.

This kind of thing, as long as you inquire carefully, you can basically hear about it.

"Well, remember to bring some guards, the wealth is moving, but not every Japanese is as hearty as Xiao Tian Che."

……

In the grassland in early winter, there is nothing to be angry about.

Occasionally, a few wild wolves wandered across the grasslands, trying to find a few lone lambs to feast on.

High in the sky, an eagle is constantly circling, as if searching for its prey.

"Captain, five miles ahead is a Xue Yantuo tribe, let's use him to practice, right?"

I saw a team of short but majestic-looking personnel in the vast grassland, stopped there and did not move.

"Wanzhi, this time His Royal Highness the King of Chu has given us this opportunity, we must grasp it. Chu Zhubo has already conveyed the meaning of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as long as everyone's performance on the grassland satisfies the prince, all of us can join the Tang Dynasty and become a Tang person, and our family members can also take over. Therefore, if you take the prison army to postpone after a while, if anyone dares to be timid, you should not be polite. ”

Yu Chi Oda Che cherished the opportunity in front of him very much.

At the beginning, he relied on the surrender of his name to become the captain in charge of hundreds of Japanese helpers in the Iwami Silver Mountain, and then rose all the way to the highest status among the Japanese people.

To put it mildly, Oda is eager to take out his heart and prove his loyalty.

Of course, his performance, Wei Chihuan, who had stayed in Iwami Yinshan for a period of time, also saw it, and deliberately allowed him to take his surname.

This time, Li Kuan asked people to arrange for 2,000 strong and loyal miners from the Japanese Kingdom to come to Datang, and the leader of the team was Yuchi Xiaotianche.

And the person in charge of supervising the army is Wei Chi Wanzhi, a Japanese man whose hands are stained with the blood of the Japanese people.

"Captain, don't worry! When training in Dengzhou, Chu Zhubo had already given orders, and everyone knew the purpose and significance of this trip, and I believe that no one would hold back. ”

There are basically few Japanese people who will go to Iwami Silver Mountain to work as helpers in Datang, and they are basically born very well.

These Japanese people, who couldn't even eat enough to eat, after arriving at Iwami Ginzan, although they were very tired from working every day, they no longer had to worry about being hungry.

Naturally, the degree of loyalty to Datang has risen in a straight line.

Originally, the concept of the country and the nation was still very weak in this era, and whoever could give them food would recognize him as his head.

"Well, our actions on the grassland should not only make these Hu people feel the fierceness of the storm, but also feel the spring-like warmth that can be enjoyed by taking the initiative to surrender. For those stubborn Hu people, everyone must not be soft; But for those who surrender voluntarily, don't kill them at will, we still count on these people in exchange for supplies. ”

A few miles away, the horseback was quickly reached, so Oda Kiri was once again emphasizing the purpose of the battle to everyone.

Although their riding skills are very average, their equipment is quite good.

Coupled with the tribe they chose, there were only a few hundred people in total, so Oda Kiri was not worried about the defeat of his side at all.

The members of the 2,000 loyal groups are all willing to take their lives to gain wealth, and if they can't even take such a tribe, then there is no need for it to exist.

……

Fu Yitie is not particularly famous in the grassland, but in their tribe, he is more or less a character.

As a good martial artist, he used to be the captain of the guard next to the tribal leader, and the idlers did not dare to bully him.

However, since the tribal leader followed the Zhenzhu Khan to invade the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion last year and suffered a big loss, the life of Fu Yitie has not been so good.

At that time, in the midst of the chaos of war, it was difficult for the servant to protect himself, let alone protect others.

So, after returning to the tribe, he was stripped of his position as captain of the guard.

The people who didn't dare to bully him also took advantage of him openly or covertly.

At the beginning of this year, his only son was playing with people on the grassland, and after encountering a wild wolf, he was actually eaten alive.

I don't know if there was really no one around at the time, or if someone saw it deliberately delaying the rescue.

If it weren't for the prairie, it would be difficult for a person to survive, and Fu Yitie would have left the tribe a long time ago.

"Boom! Boom! ”

His hearing was far greater than that of ordinary people, and he felt the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

I saw him quickly get off the horse and lay his ears on the ground.

After a moment, a complicated look appeared on his face.

There is a cavalry of two or three thousand people who are daring to come quickly, as the personnel who act as scouts today, do you want to go back to warn?

After the defeat last year, Xue Yantuo no longer had an army of several thousand people near the tribe, and Fu Yitie could basically determine whether the people who came were friends or foes.

Why should I go back and tell them?

I am now alone, without any worries, what does it have to do with me when these people die?

Maybe it's just time to avenge yourself.

Just like this, the heavens and men stood there in a daze for a quarter of an hour, and a team could already be seen rushing in the distance.

"Captain, there's a Xue Yantuo man in front, and he has spotted us."

Next to Oda Kiri, Yu Chi Noda called out loudly on horseback.

Soon, Fu Yitie was surrounded.

However, since he did not make any resistance, the Loyal Group did not directly take their lives.

"You're not Tang Jun?"

Fu Yigu looked at the people standing in front of him, and there was a puzzled look on his face.

The reason why he gave up resistance and prepared to surrender was because he thought it was the Tang Army.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Oda Kiri looked at Fuyitetsu with interest.

"I only serve the Tang Army!"

When Oda heard this, he was not surprised.

After all, that's what he thinks himself.

"We are the people of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as long as we complete the task, we are all Tang people, so it is not wrong to say that we are not Tang Army, and it is okay to say that we are Tang Army. Now you have two choices, one is to take us to attack the tribe ahead, and the other is to leave the corpses to feed the wolves. You have three breaths of time to consider! ”

Servant Iron: ???

Three breaths?

Is this for yourself to think about?

"Bang!"

Oda Kiri pulled out his broadsword and stared at the servant bone with a grim face.

"I am willing to serve the Tang Dynasty, but I want to follow His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the future!"

"Hmph, it's up to you to perform!"

Fu Yitie took a deep breath, stopped talking so much nonsense, briefly explained the situation of the tribe, and then rushed forward with Oda Kiri and his group.

Half an hour later, there was no one left in the entire tribe who could stand.

Either lie on the ground forever or kneel on the ground.

"Captain, what's the use of keeping these people? It's just a bunch of extra mouths to eat, adding trouble out of thin air. ”

When Fu Yitie found out that Oda Kiri was actually going to recruit those people who were kneeling on the ground, he immediately panicked.

Although half of them were women, fifty or sixty were young and strong.

I took Xiao Tian Che and they wiped out the tribe, can these people give themselves a good face?

However, Oda Kiri is destined not to pay attention to the opinion of the servant Bone.

According to Chu Suiliang's suggestion, his trip to the grassland this time was to destroy the various tribes along Xue Yantuo's approach to the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

However, Chu Suiliang also allowed him to continuously absorb the personnel of various surrendering tribes.

It doesn't take much at once, just dozens or hundreds.

Then take the people of these tribes to attack other tribes, so that even if there is a battle loss every time, it can ensure that the size of the Loyal Regiment will always be two or three thousand.

On the grassland, unless they encountered the army of the Xue Yantuo people, the ordinary tribe would not be able to withstand an attack of this scale.

Xiao Tian Che: "Don't worry, the last thing I lack in Datang is food, as long as a team of people is arranged to send these people to Shuozhou, someone will naturally arrange their whereabouts." ”

Servant Iron: ......

Am I relieved?

How can I rest assured?

I just don't want to kill these people?

However, his mind also turned very fast.

Since there is no way to change this state, it is better to take the initiative to accept it.

"Captain, some of these people are familiar to me before, may I ask them if they would like to do it with me? They don't speak the same language as you, and it's not very convenient to command. ”

Fu Yitie's Chinese language is okay, and he can communicate with Oda Kiri normally.

But the ones on their knees are not easy to say.

"Okay, as long as you can manage them well."

Oda Kiritsu knew exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart.

What he cares about is to complete the task as soon as possible and be able to go to Chang'an City to be a Tang man.

In the days when Ishimi Yinshan was in the days, he had heard Yu Chihuan, Yao Mosan and others talk about a lot of strange things about Chang'an City, and his heart was already full of yearning.

In the entire Iwami Silver Mountain, Oda Kiri is also the most accomplished in Sinology, and he reads there whenever he has the effort.

"Thank you, Captain! Don't worry, there is a small tribe of about 200 people in the north, and a tribe of 3 or 400 people in the west. ”

The servant was overjoyed in his heart.

Looking at this, he will soon become a centurion, and even a thousand-torn is just around the corner.
