Halfway up the mountain, not far from the beach to the west, dozens of sailors, soldiers and craftsmen couldn't help but cheer loudly!

A large area of mountain rock was blown open by gunpowder, and it slid away from the mountain and fell to the foot of the mountain, and even smashed the two craftsmen who could not avoid it into a pulp, but no one sighed sadly at this moment, and everyone was shocked and ecstatic by the golden texture of the mountain exposed under the mountain rock!

It's a gold mine!

The craftsmen here are all sent here by various nobles of the Wa Kingdom, and they are quite experienced in prospecting and mining, just looking at the direction of the veins of this gold mine, it is not possible to make the whole mountain all under it, even if it is only half, the number mined is enough to be jaw-dropping!

This special mother is a mountain of gold!

When Fang Jun hurriedly arrived, all the soldiers and craftsmen present looked at him, all of them were adoring and obsessed......

Everyone knows the reason why he let go of the people and almost turned over a mountain range to search for a treasure, it is because His Excellency the Marquis had a dream, and because of a dream, he went into such a huge search for the treasure, I have to say that it was too capricious, this was almost everyone's original idea, including Su Dingfang, who was loyal to Fang Jun, and the sailors.

However, now, everyone's eyes looking at Fang Jun have changed drastically......

What kind of luck is it to be able to find a gold mine in a dream?

It's just a person who is spoiled by God, and he is going against the sky!

Fang Jun stepped forward and stroked the golden-veined rocks, and his heart was determined that as long as he discovered this world-famous gold mine, this trip would definitely be worthwhile.

Compared to this, what is a mere Goguryeo sailor?

This mine, which has appeared in countless crossings, is a gold and silver mine, producing 80 tons of gold and 2,300 tons of silver......

So much gold is enough to make Datang's national strength to a higher level, so that Fang Jun's idea of Datang's infrastructure construction has sufficient financial support!

It is even impossible to use this gold as a reserve to derive a super money bank and completely change Datang's financial model.

It's just that when the time comes, you need to make a trade-off between the gold standard and the silver standard......

"All the soldiers, craftsmen, and miners who participated in the search, no one rewarded 500 copper coins, but those who found this gold mine were rewarded with copper coins! From this moment on, the number of ships and the number of patrols on the entire island of the Navy Division will be doubled, and it will be necessary to ensure that no one can enter or leave Sado Island at will, and the craftsmen and miners will be organized in groups of five, and the team of sailors and soldiers will be implemented in a joint system, and if one person goes missing, all five will be beheaded! ”

The news of the discovery of gold on Sado Island must be tightly sealed, and at least until a dispute with the Japanese State over Sado Island is resolved, it must not be known to the Japanese side, otherwise the Japanese State will inevitably mobilize the strength of the whole country to attack, and who can leave such a mountain of gold indifferent?

The sailor is not afraid of the combat power of the Wa Kingdom, but it is against Fang Jun's original intention to make a big move at this time, the Wa Kingdom must be cleaned up, and the emperor must be killed, but it is best to let the Ezo people charge into battle as the vanguard, and the Tang Dynasty will follow behind and secretly fund the flag waving and shouting......

This order was understood by all, and it did not even make sense to the captured Japanese artisan miners.

No matter how stupid a person is, he knows what kind of wealth this gold mountain means, in order to conceal this news, the five people sitting together is already the lightest punishment, if it is replaced by the brutal Japanese nobles, everyone present can be killed directly......

"Whoa!"

Su Dingfang immediately received the order.

He is already shocked by Fang Jun now, just dreaming casually, how can he dream of a gold mine, who would dare to believe it?!

However, now that there is really a golden mountain in front of him, looking at Fang Jun's expression that is still light and breezy despite his joy, he has a feeling of worship.

That's the gap......

All the soldiers of the Navy Division are in high spirits, the military spirit is excited, the sense of honor of the soldiers is the highest, the Navy Division is the leader in the Tang Army, and it is known that such a big mountain of gold can be discovered, which means that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will be on a higher level, and it also means that the military expenditure will be more and more huge.

More and more new weapons are mastered by the soldiers, and the soldiers pay more and more attention to the importance of weapons, "the brave wins when the two armies meet" is of course an important factor in determining the victory or defeat of the war, but in the face of the comprehensive suppression of weapons and equipment, sometimes bravery only means a more heroic death......

For example, when the sailors of various countries and the Tang Dynasty met on the sea, the ships of the Tang Army's sailors were stronger, faster, more and longer, and there were artillery pieces that opened mountains and cracked rocks to annihilate the enemy ten miles away, what use could that little bravery do?

As long as the Tang Army itself does not collapse, no one can only fail......

Better armament means more victories, which means that soldiers can survive to the maximum.

However, research and development and manufacturing of new weapons require more money, the empire's financial resources are limited after all, and the tens of thousands of iron cavalry in the northwest are even more gold-swallowing monsters, which is the force to protect the imperial border from the invasion and attack of the Turkic Hu tribe, and it is necessary to ensure the priority supply of military spending, and when it is the turn of the sailors, how much can be left of the limited military spending?

It must be known that there are already many bigwigs in the court who have seen the sailors in the way, and have met with the emperor several times to reduce the military expenses of the sailors to the minimum......

The discovery of this gold mine on Sado Island is certainly the Emperor's treasury and the Imperial Treasury in the end, but as a sailor in charge of mining, transporting, and protecting this gold mine, he will definitely be able to give more priority.

Every increase in military spending will make the armament stronger, and it will naturally be easier for the soldiers to obtain war merits and survive the war.

How could the soldiers not rejoice and be demoralized?

The next thing is simple, the sailor has to carry out non-stop patrols around Sado Island, making sure to ensure that the waterway blockade does not leak the news, and then someone rushes back to Huating Town, once again urging Datang to send more experienced miners and craftsmen.

*****

Immediately after Abehirov returned to Vietnam, he wrote a secret letter and sent his henchmen to Asukakyo to present it to His Majesty the Emperor for a decision.

Facing Fang Jun, Abehirov was furious, but helpless.

He did not dare to decide whether to pay compensation, let alone whether to cede Sado Island......

Every choice is likely to go head-on with the Tang Dynasty, which is something he is absolutely unwilling to face, the arrogant and domineering Marquis of the Tang Dynasty relies on the national strength of the Tang Dynasty to bully people too much, but he can only swallow his anger, but he hopes that His Majesty the Emperor can be tough and declare war directly, and he must also have a good understanding of the combat power of the Tang Army's naval division, so that the boy from the Tang Dynasty nobleman who does not know the height of the sky can see his own strength!

As long as it doesn't lead to the complete fall of the Wa Kingdom in the end, even if he dies, he can't care about it......

……

The autumn rain is dripping.

The verdant and towering incense mountain, the ear into the mountain, and the mu mountain into a three-legged trend, surround a plain land with clear and clear waters. The terrain here is gentle, the river water is clear, one by one the palaces rise from the ground, the mountain city surrounded by stone walls, the beautiful garden pond, the exquisite temple houses, quite a kind of topography and shape victory, the atmosphere of the emperor.

This is the capital of the Wa Kingdom, Asuka Kyo......

In the Pangai Palace, it is clear and quiet.

The autumn rain fell on the terracotta tiles on the roof, flowed down the tiles, and dripped on the bluestone slabs in front of the eaves.

Inside the palace, a young man knelt in front of the desk, staring intently at the letterhead in his hand.

This person is dressed in a plain linen robe, not tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly dark face, and a calm temperament, kneeling on the ground at the moment, holding a letterhead in one hand, and holding a golden sheath sword at his waist in the other.

It was the son of Emperor Gogoku, the prince of Katsuragi......

Opposite him, kneeling sat a middle-aged man with a clear face.

The man was in his thirties and forties, wearing a crown of lacquered veil, a dark green robe sewn on the left and right sides, a long red sash on the left side, and a white hakama underneath. The eyebrows are sparse, the expression is calm, and the back is straight when he sits there, which is quite the style of a famous person in the Central Plains......

Two maids with pink faces stood in the middle of the temple.

A sandalwood incense burns in a copper furnace on the side, green smoke curls up, and the fragrance is thick.

After a long time, the prince of Katsuragi put down the letterhead in his hand, gently placed it on the table in front of him, sighed, frowned, and said, "Mr. Zhongchen, what do you think about this?" ”

The middle-aged man with a clear appearance is the chief think tank of the prince of Katsuragi, the proud protégé of the great Confucian Nanyuan of the Wa Kingdom, and the middle minister is sickle.
