Chapter 211: Slaves
When Feng Daiwen was busy guarding the prisoners, he did not forget to continue to send people to sweep the surrounding villages, after all, he couldn't keep blocking the city, it would be too consuming of troops.
The entire Shimane Castle has hardly changed from the outside, and the castle head is still the same flags, but the guards guarding the gate are much taller, and the walls are constantly thickening and heightening.
But if someone walks into the city, they will be arrested, this is Feng Daiwen's deliberate looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, and they are not allowed to enter but not to leave.
With the person who led the way, every day Feng Daiwen and Xi Junmai would capture a lot of captives and join the team of hard laborers, so from ancient times to the present, the most annoying thing is the inner ghost.
The accompanying miners also began to look for silver mines under the escort of soldiers, and led the locals to start looking for silver mines, thinking that it could be called the world's largest silver mine in the eleventh century, the scope must be not small, and it was easy to lock a radius of dozens of miles in addition to the exclusion of impossible mountain ranges.
Who came again in Liu Renliang and transported 20,000 Turkic warriors, so that Feng Daiwen's manpower that had been nervous was finally relaxed, and the five small cities nearby were finally able to move.
After Liu Renliang arrived, he unloaded the supplies, repaired for two days and set off again, not only bringing back the latest news, but also 10,000 young people, 30,000 young women, and most importantly, a few huge pieces of silver ore.
But anyway, it's already November, although the weather is not very cold, but it is also very inconvenient to march, just honestly repair the city, build roads, since the silver mine has been found, the top priority is to build a road out.
Feng Daiwen has no burden on the use of people from the island country as coolies, and it is already the greatest mercy to be able to spare his dog's life, and their only value is to create wealth for Datang.
Feng Daiwen did not decide the matter and let them go extinct, but let them live with their families, and there was no shortage of food, and families with children would also receive some extra meat, but the young and beautiful women would be sent back to Datang and arranged by Li Shimin.
Everything on the island was in an orderly manner, and with enough manpower, the rocky hill near the sea was about to be leveled.
A stone pier extends more than 200 meters out of the sea, although it is said to be in the bay, it has always been calm, but it still repairs the wharf to a huge size, and the ten-zhang wide road surface looks particularly beautiful in the sea, like a sword inserted into the sea, and it is still expanding.
The former camp had become a quarters for slaves who built docks, and two roads more than a foot wide stretched from the camp into the distance.
Several huge pillars of smoke rose from the outside of Shimane Castle and were scattered by the wind, which was the beginning of the firing of a new brick kiln, and the volcanic ash was the best cement, and it just so happened that there was one not far from the silver mine, which not only increased the speed of construction of various buildings, but also made the mine stronger.
On the island, all the Tang soldiers, the people received the most training is how to deal with earthquakes and tsunamis, all the Tang Dynasty people's residences according to Feng Daiwen's plan, there must be two kinds of buildings, usually living in wooden houses, typhoons, tsunamis, they have to move into brick houses, but now they can only hide in the hole.
The island country is a cursed land in Feng Daiwen's propaganda, this is because these are sinners, who do not know etiquette and shame, and in order to punish them, there will be earth movements and typhoons every year in order to punish them.
And Datang is here to save them, and they need to keep working, washing their bodies and minds, purifying their souls, and after three or five generations, they will become normal people, leave this cursed land, and live a happy life.
After these propaganda, the people of the island country actually believed more than the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they were more pious, so a new education syllabus appeared, waiting for the bald donkey...... Ahem, when the monk arrives, who will make these Japanese slaves believe this?
……
Chang'an, Taiji Palace, just too early in the morning, Liu Renliang, who was summoned, nervously walked into the hall, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
A few small stones were placed in the middle of the main hall, Li Shimin did not look at it, but said gently to Liu Renliang: "Aiqing is the first batch of students of the Martial Arts Academy, and most of the people who are the same as you are still studying, and you and a few others can stand out, which shows that they are excellent, and I am proud of you as the head of the mountain." ”
Liu Renliang was excited, and said loudly: "Weichen is willing to smear the liver and brain of the saint and die for the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Haha! Aiqing is flat, this is the silver mine dug up by Wajima? Li Shimin asked with a satisfied smile.
"Returning to the Holy One, this is it! And it is dug out of the ground, according to the prospector, the ore originally contained higher the purity of silver the further down, and that mountain, almost the same purity, can be mined from different places at the same time, as long as there are enough manpower, millions of taels a year can be dug out. Liu Renliang got up and said respectfully.
"Whew!" Rao is people left behind in the hall are all people who have experienced great storms, and they are still taken aback by this number.
"Weichen thinks that after such a heavy land, when more people are sent and the Turkic tribes are returned to the Tang Dynasty, there are too few people to build roads, and several roads are about to stop." The eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of the household department, and the most lacking thing is all kinds of manpower, supporting without hesitation, of course, there is also the meaning of arranging people to share the credit, after all, such a huge benefit is in front of him, everyone wants to go to the gangsters, and the credit will not be small when he comes back, and there is no risk.
"Yes, the minister thinks that what Zhao Guogong said is reasonable, and the output in one year can almost have half of the current tax income, and it should indeed be vigorously exploited." Fang Xuanling is in charge of the finance department, so he is naturally also concerned about money.
"What does Wei Guogong think?" Li Shimin did not make a decision immediately, but asked about Li Jing.
"Dare to ask the Holy Lord, does Feng Dudu ask for reinforcements?" Li Jing asked rhetorically.
Li Shimin picked up the secret document in his hand, thought about it and said: "I didn't say it clearly, but I just introduced the situation and asked to send a civil official to be responsible for management, as well as a monk." ”
"The minister thinks that this is what the governor wants to see the imperial court, if the saint wants to slowly develop the island country, there is no need to increase the army, if it is necessary to vigorously develop the population, the mine must increase the army." Li Jing analyzed.
"Aiqing thinks how many troops are appropriate?" Li Shimin asked.
"The minister thinks that if a large number of people are arrested, I am afraid that the Japanese slaves will concentrate on attacking the territory occupied by the Tang Dynasty, so at least 50,000 horses must be arranged to go over, so that there will be enough manpower to take care of the mines, as well as deal with possible attacks. Li Jing just analyzed it, and the specific arrangements were not made, which fully reflected the excellent qualities of an old fox.
