Chapter 595: Iwami Silver Mountain drives the tiger and devours the wolf
Li Er stared at Bai Fan and asked again, "Could it be?" Is it really Jungnan Mountain? ”
Seeing everyone's curious eyes gathered on him, Bai Fan was very satisfied, smiled slightly, and explained: "Zhongnan Mountain doesn't have it, but well, if it is used to build Chang'an City, it should not be used up." ”
Everyone was disappointed, Li Jiancheng flicked his sleeves and said in disgust: "Stinky boy, you are still the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and the cost of building a city is just that, you are embarrassed to say it?" ”
Only Li Er, Li Er seemed to tremble a little.
stepped forward and pulled Li Jiancheng to his side, relying on his eldest brother to stand firm.
"Second, what's wrong with you? It's not because I'm angry with this kid, Jian Zhi loves to joke, don't be like him. Li Jiancheng persuaded.
Li Er whispered tentatively and said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother, Jian Zhi just seemed to be saying - pile-up!" ”
"That's right, it's a pile!
You don't need to pile up to build a city, can't you carve it with clay sculptures? ”
Li Jiancheng was impatient.
But then he immediately covered his mouth, pointed at Bai Fan and trembled: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you mean that it is purely made of silver?" ”
This title, as soon as the sentence changed, Bai Fan couldn't react a little, his old father-in-law is a snobbish chameleon.
Only then did everyone react and immediately began to exclaim.
Bai Fan laughed and said: "That's right, it's pure silver, and it includes not only the city wall, but also all the buildings in Chang'an City. ”
What the???
Everyone felt that their minds were almost overwhelmed, that poverty limited their imagination, so much silver, so much silver! Let's not talk about how to get it, but it hasn't arrived yet, and everyone seems to have no idea how to spend it.
Bai Fan nodded secretly, this is the normal reaction, when Ishimi Yinshan was born, the world was shocked, it was one-third of the world's silver reserves, and building a Chang'an City was just a pediatric.
Historical records record that Iwami Silver Mountain is located in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, Wakuni Prefecture, which was excavated and mined in large quantities during the Ming Dynasty of China, and was mined directly to the Meiji Restoration period of Wakoku, which shows its rich content.
Li Er ran back to the dragon case, took out the sword of the Son of Heaven that had not moved for a long time, and slashed at the dragon case: "This silver mine is owned by my Datang, whoever dares to touch it, I will destroy it!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Seeing that the whole room was bowing down and echoing, Bai Fan instantly spartan, what is the situation? Are Datang people so possessive? What is the shadow of nothing, how is it ours?
"Boy, is it difficult to mine the silver mountain? How much manpower is needed? I really can't do it, I took out the twelve guards. Li Er asked with a fiery face.
Bai Fan covered his eyes and stopped Li Erdao: "Your Majesty, you are enough, the name of that silver mountain is Iwami Silver Mountain, which means that you can see silver between the stones outside, and it is not difficult to mine at all."
But that's not the point at all, okay?
Now that thing is still in the Wa Kingdom, far away from the ocean, and we are still troubled by the Wako, why do we think of sending troops to dig up silver? Can you wake up? ”
Li Erman said indifferently: "It's all the same, sooner or later we have to dig it, make plans now, don't panic in the future......"
Bai Fan: "......"
After a long time, everyone finally stopped the excitement in their hearts, and Li Jiancheng said: "Since this silver mountain is not difficult to mine, and it is not in the hands of my Datang now, then we can't reveal it to them, otherwise they dug it out in advance and enhanced the national strength, wouldn't it be the enemy of my Datang?" ”
"Yes, what King Jin said is reasonable."
Bai Fan couldn't help it, and laughed: "It's ridiculous!
Not to mention that Iwami Yinshan has made that group of dwarves dig for a hundred years and can't finish digging, let's talk about national strength, can gold and silver represent national strength?
I'm afraid you don't know, the Japanese have never lacked gold and silver, only food and necessities, so they came to my Tang Dynasty to fight the autumn wind, and the border pass Japanese intelligence explained that most of the Japanese people stole daily necessities and food, and did not mainly loot gold and silver, don't you pay attention? ”
Only then did everyone realize that everyone was indeed a little carried away.
Yu Shinan said angrily: "It's hateful, since the former Sui, the Japanese people have repeatedly sent people to visit the Central Plains, but they never sincerely confessed, and just wanted to shamelessly deceive a large number of return gifts from the Central Plains, now it seems that this group of dwarfs are all liars, and they should really be killed!" ”
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "What Jian Zhi said is that money is not equal to strength, although this year is not a disaster year, but it is still an era of hunger and cold, in addition to the army, the strength is money and food, and the food that can save people's lives is the most important."
The Western Turks were choked by our master because of the lack of food, otherwise they plundered the Western Regions, and there were countless treasures and treasures in their hands, and I am afraid that they would have developed stronger than my Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, then Jianzhi, what do you mean?" Are you still insisting on leaking the news and watching those dwarves mine our silver mountains? ”
Bai Fan shook his head and said, "How can there be such a good thing?"
Ishimi Yinshan is there, even if they are allowed to mine for three or five years, it will not hurt, and after three or five years, our Tang Dynasty will destroy it, whether it is the silver in the ground or mined in the ground, isn't it all ours? ”
"Yes, this is a wonderful statement, Jian Zhi's idea is really different from ordinary people, and it seems to save us a lot of manpower for mining." Hou Junji praised.
"I said Iwami Ginzan not for this, but to realize the plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and the three kingdoms of Wa and Baekje and Goguryeo joined forces to invade with pirates and wanted to break their alliance, and this Iwami Ginzan was a good opportunity.
There is no shortage of gold and silver in the Wa Kingdom, and they may not care about another silver mine, but Baekje, Goguryeo, and even the Khitan Spirit, etc., they are greedy, do you think they will go to grab things from the Wa Kingdom? ”
Li Jing laughed and said, "Okay, good strategy!" As soon as the silver mountain came out, several countries attacked the Japanese, and the alliance broke itself, and the trouble of the Japanese on the border of our country was solved. ”
"I'm afraid it's not just that, Baekje is very close to the Wa Kingdom, the two countries are at odds with each other, Baekje invades the Wa Kingdom to grab silver, the two sides will definitely have countless casualties, and they have been fighting endlessly for many years, and when I go to cut wheat in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that not only can I take the Wa Kingdom, but Baekje can almost become a plaything in our hands."
What a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Li Er laughed.
Everyone also admired Bai Fan's cleverness, one step counted three steps, and the Wa Kingdom only sent a wave of pirates, and was calculated by the Marquis of Lantian to destroy the country.
"In this case, the plan of Yinshan to divide the gap will be handed over to Jian Zhi, Junji, you, the commander of the navy, will take office immediately, I don't care about the process, I will only look at the result after three years."
Out of the palace, Li Jing followed Bai Fan back to the Lantian Marquis Mansion, Bai Fan returned, Li Jing should also take back his wife, but Zhang Chuchen was unwilling, he had just cultivated a relationship with his four grandchildren, so he had to separate?
Old Li Jing is also witty, saying that his nephew hasn't come back for a few months, and I'm afraid it's not good to snub a few daughters-in-law, why don't we bring four little ones for them?
Zhang Chuchen was overjoyed, so the four little sons of the Bai family were taken to Li Jing's house, and started the journey of the four brothers to change the map and destroy, three days later, Li Jing's intestines were all repentant, and he scolded himself for being old and confused, what do you talk about? It's a good Weiguo Mansion to be messed up, I really don't know how the Lantian Marquis Mansion survived for more than two years under the ravages of these four little demon kings.
Time flies, from the arrival of fairy grain in Chang'an, to the breeding of Chang'an County, and now it has been several months since Xishu happened, and finally it is the harvest season, in these months, Li Erqiang held back his curiosity, did not ask a word and did not look at it, he has been having a dream in his heart, a dream that belongs to him, and the starting point of this dream is in the 10,000 acres of immortal grain in Chang'an County.
