Japan is an island country with mountains of all sizes. Since ancient times, there must have been mines in many mountains, so Japan was called the land of gold by Marco Polo in his travelogue. However, Japan not only has many gold mines, but also silver mines all over the country. For this reason, many people also call Japan the land of silver.

Mt. Matsumoto. The site chosen by Matsugami Yoshimitsu to build the castle is an unknown hill that has no name. Japan is full of mountains, and the country is full of mountains. Since ancient times, rare things are expensive, and most of them are cheap. Thus in ancient Japan in addition to some famous mountains with a long history such as Mt. Fuji. Mt. Yoshino, well-known mines such as Sado Kanayama. Iwami Silver Mine and Fukiba Silver Mine as well as some mountains named after the castle such as Kasuga Mountain. Aside from Mt. Yoshida and Mt. Inaba, most of the other mountains that are too small have no names. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles in the future, Matsugami named the mountain where his new castle was located Matsumoto Mountain. The name of the mountain, Matsumoto, has the meaning of the foundation of Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

At this time, Matsumoto Mountain was all busy. The construction of a new dwelling city had to flatten the entire hilltop, while the servitude of the lords was toiling around. A place on Mt. Matsumoto. Gano-Yotaro was digging rocks with a few other villagers from the same village, and as he was digging, he suddenly felt a tingling in his palms. Ganoso and Taro thought that he might have dug something that was difficult to dig, such as a large rock, so he bent down to pull it out with his hands. Unexpectedly, he finally did not find the imaginary stone, but dug up a silver object. Grange and Taro were a bit of a knowledgeable person, and he immediately understood that he had dug up the silver. Grange and Taro dug a little deeper, and found several more pieces of silver, and Ganoso and Taro were immediately overjoyed, and he guessed that he might have found a silver mine. For a moment, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout.

"Hahahaha, my Grange and Taro have discovered a silver mine."

"What? Silver? The people around him who were working with Taro were all shocked.

As soon as Ganoso and Taro shouted about their discovery of the silver mine, he regretted it. These people around him are not good at stubble, and it seems that his chance to make a fortune is about to fly away. Sure enough, a burly villager named Ryohei Kuroki surrounded him with several other people as soon as he heard that he had discovered the silver mine.

"Yotaro, is it true that you found a silver mine?" Ryohei Kuroki asked as he looked at Grange and Taro.

Although Ganoso and Taro had understood that things were irreparable, he still wanted to try, and he said to Kuroki Ryohei in a stammering tone. "Brother Kuroki, I was wrong. I was just kidding everyone. ”

Kuroki Ryohei is not a fool, he saw that Ganoso and Taro had been hiding from everyone's eyes with one hand, and immediately said. "Then what you have hidden in your hand, take it out and I'll see."

Seeing this, Gano Yotaro's face changed drastically, and he said that he had nothing in his hand while looking around and trying to escape. Ryohei Kuroki saw that Ganoso and Taro refused to hand over the things in his hand, and he felt more and more suspicious about him, and he didn't talk nonsense with Ganoso and Taro, so he snatched the things in Ganoso and Taro's hands. Kuroki Ryohei took out the things in his hand and looked at them, and found that it was indeed a silver nugget, and said with great joy.

"Hahahaha, it's silver. Dig up and see if there's anything left. ”

Several of Kuroki Ryohei's subordinates immediately dug out the place where the silver was dug up, and sure enough, there were still silver pieces, and one of his subordinates immediately picked up a few pieces and ran to Kuroki Ryohei and handed them to him, and said excitedly. "Big brother, this kid with Taro didn't lie. There's a silver mine here. ”

Kuroki Ryohei was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Brothers, first bury that pit. When it gets dark, we'll take the guys and dig secretly, and everyone will share the wealth. ”

"The boss is wise." Several of Kuroki Ryohei's younger brothers immediately cheered. When even a few people went to bury the silver pit. Ganoso and Taro were afraid that they would kill themselves, so they secretly ran away when they weren't paying attention to themselves. The Kuroki Ryohei Tu Overlord was used to this, and he found that the pit of the silver mine was almost disguised, so he took a few of his men and squandered it with the stolen silver.

Ganoso and Taro, who had escaped, became angrier the more they thought about it on the road. On the one hand, he felt that it was too infuriating for him to find out that the silver mine he had found could not be benefited, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that Ryohei Kuroki would kill him. Ganoso and Taro felt that since they couldn't take advantage of the silver mine, they might as well give him to the lord, so that maybe the lord would reward him with some silver as soon as he was happy. The more Ganoso and Taro thought about it, the more they felt that what they thought made sense, so they immediately went to report to the samurai lord Yoshiki Nagamasa, who was sticking to the castle.

At this time, the camp of Liangmu Nagamasa. Yoshiki Nagamasa was discussing the construction of a new city with several craftsmen. Although Xixiang Guanjiu is the general director of the city, but Liangmu Nagamasa is responsible for the specific supervision, and he does not dare to be sloppy at all.

"The construction of the castle is going well, right?"

"My lord, you can rest assured that there will be no problems." ......

Just as Yoshiki Nagamasa was discussing a problem with a few craftsmen, a doorkeeper walked in and reported to him. "Lady Ryoki, there is a man named Ganoso and Taro outside the tent who said that he wants to see you on an important matter."

"Grange and Taro?" Yoshiki Nagamasa thought about it, and didn't think he knew this person, so he said to the gatekeeper. "Is there anything wrong with him? I'm busy. ”

"Lord Ryogi, Ganoso and Taro refuse to speak. He had to tell you to your face. The gatekeeper replied

。 Yoshiki Nagamasa wanted to drive Grange and Taro away, but he was afraid that something would go wrong. He thought for a moment and said to the craftsmen, "I'll be here today, you guys go down." ”

"Haha." The craftsmen listened to Yoshiki Nagamasa's order and left.

After seeing a few craftsmen leaving, Yoshiki Nagamasa said to the gatekeeper Ashigaru. "Go and call in that guy Gano and Taro."

"Haha." After listening to Yoshiki Nagamasa's instructions, the gatekeeper immediately walked out of the military tent.

After a while, Ganoso and Taro walked into Yoshiki Nagamasa's military tent. As soon as he saw Yoshiki Nagamasa, he immediately knelt down and saluted. "Villain Grange and Taro meet Ryoki-sama."

"Well, get up." Yoshiki Nagamasa was pleased with Grange and Taro's performance, and he continued after calling Ganoso and Taro up. "I heard that you have something important to tell Lord Ben, I don't know what it is?"

Of course, Ganoso and Taro would not say that they had been robbed because of the silver mine they had discovered, and he was afraid that he would lose his mouth, so he came to report it. He rolled his eyes and said. "Lord Ryogi, the villain has found a silver mine and wants to present it to the lord."

"What, silver mines." Yoshiki Nagamasa was shocked. >......
