Sado Island has been being developed for some time. Q: What are Lu Qian's results? He could grin behind his ears.

The progress of the gold nuggets on Sado Island is very gratifying.

Who said that Sado Island is really a treasure island?

Before the discovery and large-scale exploitation of the New World, Japan was the world's largest exporter of gold and silver, accounting for 40% of the world's silver production, the world's largest gold production, and Sado Kanayama accounted for half of Japan's total gold production.

Lu Qian did not find out the specific information of Sado Island, because before the Meiji Restoration of the little devil, there was no exact record of the total gold and silver production and annual output of Sado Gold Mountain. There is only one general term - the financial pillar of the Edo shogunate.

He only knew that in 1896, when the resources of Sado Kanayama had been exhausted, it was rediscovered by modern machinery, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries began to conduct modern enterprise-level statistics on the output of Sado Kanayama in that year, and by 1989, when the resources were exhausted for the second time, a total of 78 tons of gold and 2,330 tons of silver were mined.

According to legend, in 1600~1800, the peak production of Sado Kaneyama reached an average of 20 tons per year, and at its peak it was nearly 40 tons a year. In other words, that place is a treasure land that can be dug up for 200 years by manpower, and ten or twenty tons of gold + dozens of tons of silver are dug up every year. I don't know if it's true or not......

Lu Qian didn't dare to completely believe the latter. Because that number is staggering.

What is the concept of ten or twenty tons of gold + dozens of tons of silver?

One ton is 1,000 kilograms, one kilogram is 1,000 grams, and today's one tael is only 37.3g according to the metric system of later generations. That is to say, one kilogram is twenty-seven taels and one ton is more than 26,800 taels.

Bringing this number into more than ten or twenty tons of gold + dozens of tons of silver, if Lu Qian holds these real gold and silver in his hands, how many thousands of silver banknotes can Zhongyuan Bank print?

Lu Qian didn't know anything about finance, and he wouldn't make a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver, so he only printed 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

This is a big business in the unit of 'tens of millions'. And it can also promote business development and the increase of large amount of transactions, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless.

Even if he made a half discount on that number, Lu Qian was satisfied. But at the same time, he also believes that the potential of the cotton textile industry will be greater and the influence will be wider.

Because all of this is shown in history. Zheng Guanying of the late Qing Dynasty once said that the two major imports of foreign goods are Ah Pian and foreign cloth and foreign yarn. opium, which costs about 33 million taels of silver a year; Cotton gauze and cotton cloth consume about 53 million taels of silver every year.

This is a number that Lu Qian remembers vividly decades later.

Although compared with the Northern Song Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, only in terms of population, the former has the upper hand. But Lu Qian believes that China's population will soon enter a stage of rapid expansion. Just talk about the current Qilu, how many years have passed? According to the Demographic Statistics Department, the population of Qilu Province has increased by 2 million compared with when the province was established.

The abolition of the poll tax and the improvement of the economy are most directly reflected in the increase in the number of children.

Thinking that there are surrounding neighbors who can be squeezed and exploited, Lu Qian is full of confidence, even without the sweet potatoes and corn, the Chinese population can still break through the historical circle and soar to the sky.

Therefore, Liangshan's navy and army must continue to enhance their strength, otherwise how can they continue to squeeze the surrounding neighbors?

In the past two years, the trade with the Khitan has continued to increase, that is, the trade with the Jurchens, after Yan Xiyin left Yidu, it also suddenly rose in popularity. This brought great benefits to Lu Qi. Textiles, medicines, porcelain, spirits, etc., unconsciously, these livelihood trade quotas have quietly approached the trade of armor.

Now that a large number of cotton clothes and quilts have been sold to the north, Lu Qian has a clear attitude to run a large cotton spinning industry, and his subordinates naturally bow down to orders. I didn't listen to anyone who bullsucked and competed with the people!

At this moment, Song Ru was not harmed by pigs, and his temperament was still much stronger than that of Ming Ru. Especially after Lu Qian advocated the 'study of deeds' day after day, if anyone still doesn't understand the 'truth', how can he still have a foothold in the court?

Even Wen Huanzhang, the head of the conservatives, would not want to have such a pig teammate who can suck hatred.

Therefore, the Yangtze River still has to be crossed.

"Yang Zhiyu, the governor of the right army. Destiny is impermanent, only the virtuous live. Today, the Song Dynasty is immoral, treacherous and powerful, autocratic and powerful, and the prestige is up to oneself; When people are coerced, don't dare to speak up; Shilin is angry, and the people are full of grievances; One husband and one man, the state is in unison. In the end, there was the defeat of Qilu, the loss of the Central Plains, the burning of the ancestors, and the loss of majesty......

Gong Wei Wang is wise and resolute, diligent and loves the people, since Qilu came, in one fell swoop and shocked China, and then swept Hebei, the Northern Expedition to Khitan, Yang Han Dynasty majesty, Song Lord knew the situation and far away, Zhongzhou, Hedong Marshal and Ministers successively voted, just a few years to hold the north of the world, if it is not the will of heaven, how can people do it.

Today, we have gathered the hope of hundreds of millions of people, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the money is abundant and the food is sufficient, the soldiers are subdued, and the people are supported. It reaches Longshan in the west, Canghai in the east, the Yangtze River in the south, and Youyan in the north. More than half of the world has entered my territory, and it is dying in Haidong, all of which are surrendered. When a drum of energy, Dingding Yu inside. At the time when the south of the Yangtze River is crowded, it is the autumn of my main creation of the foundation and industry, which can be concurrent to the south of the Yangtze River, seize the land of Jinling form, and win Kyushu. Don't miss the opportunity, it's a pity. Minister Yang Zhifu asked my lord to make a large-scale expedition and set the foundation of eternity in the south. ……”

In the Fengtian Hall of the Qi Palace, Yang Zhizheng, who had rushed back from Yangzhou on a fast horse, said loudly. During this period of time, he was only on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the scenes in the south of the Yangtze River were all in his eyes, which made the generals under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army impatient.

The Western Army has been tired for a long time, and Guanzhong has been lost, and the morale of the army has been greatly moved, and now in the eyes of Yang Zhi, Luan Tingyu, Wu Song, Zhang Shun and other cadres, there is no need to be afraid. Isn't this a great opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to go south and seize Jinling? "King, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again."

In addition to the officials of various ministries and the governors of various provinces who came to Beijing to report on their work, there were also the chief and deputy governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the officials of the departments of each court, and the generals of the pro-army who participated in the meeting. They had their own thoughts, but none of them rushed out to speak.

Then Jiangnan is involved in Manichaeism. And Lu Qian's thoughts on Manichaeism have become more and more difficult to guess.

Lu Qian glanced at the main hall, and he was very clear about the battle situation in Jiangnan. Now it is not someone else who is sitting in Jinling, it is Liu Yanqing himself, but Xiao Chong is in Huzhou.

Lu Qian looked down on Liu Yanqing because this person was too selfish. The division of the Western Army by the Zhao and Song dynasties has already achieved initial results. The control of the large and small species over the Jiangnan Western Army has dropped considerably compared to the previous two years.

Liu Yanqing is one of the reasons. In the past two years, he has been the commander of the Western Army, and he can be said to be the No. 3 person, and his meritorious service is not small. And his eldest son Liu Guangguo was promoted by the Song family to the commander of the imperial camp in the middle of last year, and his subordinates were Yao Pingzhong, Liu Qi, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, etc., as well as Han Powu and Wang De of the headquarters, which can be described as strong soldiers.

For this reason, Liu Yanqing dispatched a lot of people to save face for his son, but those sacrifices were all the combat power of the Western Army.

Lu Qian also asked many civil and military officials in private, and there were not a few of them who were in favor of taking the opportunity to go south. Horizontally and vertically, no one wants to die on the front line of Xiangfan, and no one wants to fight Sichuan and Shu.

Zhao Song did not give it for nothing, when the crisis in Guanzhong broke out, he urgently transferred Zheng Juzhong as the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, and raised troops to be stationed in Dasanguan-Chencang first-line important place. After the Liangshan army cleaned up the Huanqing Road, Lu Qian sent Lin Chong to lead the troops to fight the Chencang area, but was forced to retreat by the Song army relying on the geographical advantage, and had no choice but to go north to find trouble in Western Xia.

It was put forward by Yang Zhi in public at today's court meeting, the purpose was to reach a consensus, this blue-faced beast was just the gunman Lu Qian was looking for.

Lu Qian didn't answer, but asked Zong Ze first, Zong Ze's health has not been very good recently, and he suffered a little bit of cold on a cold day, and he said a little unrefreshed: "It's time to fight, Jinling is the place where the king is favored, and that place still can't fall into the hands of the Song family." It's just that I want to fight the land of Jinling, I'm afraid that it will be dirty with the Manichaean church. "In fact, it still depends on Lu Qian's attitude, if King Lu wants to sweep the stalls in the south of the Yangtze River and swallow Manichaeism, it is not impossible. Now it's up to him what he thinks.

Lu Qian naturally wouldn't swallow Manichaeism in one gulp, and his current thinking had already changed. At first, he wanted to devour the remnants of Manichaeism, because he was sure that Manichaeism could not defeat Zhao Song. But by now, he had found a better place for Manichaeism.

- That's Central Asia.

The origin of Manichaeism is known to many, and that is from Central Asia. But many people are unaware of the status of Manichaeism in the Western Regions.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Manichaeism inevitably fell into decline as the Uighur Empire fell to the enemies from the upper Yenisei River and fell apart under the attack of the latter. However, even at such a time, according to the records of Wang Yande, a courtier who sent Gaochang [Xinjiang] in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were still 50 Manichi monasteries in Turpan in the East Turkistan region. From this account, it is clear that the decline of Manichaeism among the Uighurs was a natural occurrence with the collapse of the empire, and not a result of any kind of religious persecution. Although their influence in the Turpan region has been lost, it has not been completely extinct. In fact, even now, although the Uighurs of Gaochang were mainly Buddhists, Manichaeism still existed in Turpan.

This is because the rituals and teachings of Manichaeism are inherently similar to Buddhism. Namani himself claimed to be the successor of Buddha, Zoroaster, and Jesus, and the last prophet. As it spread eastward from Central Asia, it became closely integrated with the religions that prevailed everywhere it went, especially Buddhism. A large number of Buddhist terms are used, pretending to be the name of the Buddha, the Dharma, and even calling themselves "Mani Light Buddha". So much so that it is misunderstood as a branch of Buddhism.

In a country like the Uighurs, it even achieved the status of a 'state religion' for a time, which was unimaginable in Central Asia and the Western world.

Now Lu Qian feels that the best way is to let them roll out of the Han land mellowly, ...... to the west, to the west, and return to the place where they were born. The Xingyue Sect relied on swords, guns, and iron horses to preach, and Manichaeism could do the same. (https:)
