Hida Gold Mountain, located on the west side of Sakurato Castle and a vast mountain range south of Kunon Castle, was discovered only after the Takeda family perished and the Nuggets took refuge in the Unejima family.

But now, the prophetic Hosokawa Nobumoto already knew about this place, and after taking the Hida country, he arranged for Okubo Chang'an to go to explore and successfully find the ore vein.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to my lord! Everyone bowed down together, Jinshan has been the "capital of the hegemon" since ancient times, and the Takeda family was able to raise the Chibei cavalry, relying on the Kai Jinshan.

"Well, it's nothing, after all, for the development of Hida Jinshan, I promised to give Haruhi half of the share." Hosokawa Nobumoto has already given the Hida country to Hosokawa Haruyuki, although it is said that strategic materials like this should belong to the main family, but who let it be his own family's own brother.

"Hmm... Enough, that's enough. "Although it is less than half of the mining volume, it is enough for the Hosokawa family, who have never had a gold mountain.

"No, no, no, I'm going to develop another gold mountain, so that I can really supply my family's needs." Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his fingers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"And a mountain of gold? Lord, where are you? Okubo Changan was also stunned this time, and it was the first time he had heard of it.

"On Sado Island, I am going to take advantage of the civil strife in the Uesugi family to take this island nation." Hosokawa Nobumoto had a plan, but now that Uesugi Kenshin has died, he has no heirs in his family, so he will only be born from the two adopted sons of Jingsheng and Jinghu.

"But my lord, Sado only has Osu Silver Mountain and Tsuruko Silver Mountain." Okubo Changan thought that the main public remembered wrong, and couldn't help but remind.

"Sado does have a mountain of gold, I have my own way to know, and it's a huge mine richer than Hida Mountain!" Hosokawa Nobumoto is naturally aware of the famous Sado Gold Mine, which is said to have been the world's largest producer in the world at its peak in the 17th century, and was the financial pillar of the Tokugawa shogunate for 300 years.

"Oh my God!" Okubo Changan was surprised that he could stuff a watermelon in his mouth, he participated in the exploration of Hida Gold Mountain, and naturally knew that its veins were rich, but he didn't expect that there would be a bigger one.

"That's all there is to the gold mountain at present, which should be enough for the issuance of gold coins and the circulation of the market. As for the silver coins, just do what I have to say, and there are quite a few silver mountains in supply, such as Iwami Ginzan, Tajima's Ikuno Ginzan, Inaba Ginzan, and so on. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has also finalized the silver coins in one fell swoop, and the output of the silver mountain can account for one-third of the world, and if the Kanto region has a lot of gold mountains, then the Kansai area is a lot of silver mountains, which seems to be a balancing act specially arranged by God.

"As for the creation of copper coins... Directly forging Yongle money is issued. Finally, Hosokawa Nobumoto talked about the most crucial currency: copper coins. If gold and silver are the exclusive property of wealthy people such as princes and wealthy merchants, then copper coins are the exclusive property of the common people.

"But... This Yongle Money... It's really hard to imitate..."Speaking of copper coins, Goto Hikaru took the sweat on his head and brushed it down.

"It's okay, I know it's because there is no master, so I can't copy the same Yongle money." Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand and motioned for the little surname to bring a delicate wooden box and let it be sent to Goto Mitsuto.

"Shhhh This is... Does this mean... Is it Yongle Tongbao's mother money? Goto Mitsunori carefully identified a large Yongle coin, and his excited words were inarticulate.

In this era, no matter in terms of imitation technology and artificial precision, it is enough to make Yongle money that is fake and real. At that time, the trade of the Ming Dynasty was cut off, and the Japanese court could no longer obtain Yongle money from the Ming court, and private smuggling began to prevail. Therefore, in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty, there were some wealthy merchants and wealthy gentry who privately minted Yongle money to exchange gold and silver with merchants in Kyushu.

But counterfeit money is a fake money after all, even if it is fine and the same, it will still be different. Genuine Yongle money is minted by the money bureau of the Ming Court, and there is the most primitive mother money, while counterfeit money can only use Yongle money itself as mother money, so counterfeit money will be smaller than the original one.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has reopened trade and exterminated the Japanese invaders, Yongle money has naturally re-circulated. But apparently Hosokawa Nobumoto is going to mint his own coins, what can be done faster than printing money?

"How? With this, it should be fine, right? "Elder Hosokawa Nobu had planned it a long time ago, and it was for this moment that Ishikawa Goemon was stolen out. Now that the strength is strong and the territory is vast, the time has come.

"Also, I know that there is a large copper mountain in the northeastern part of Iyo Province, and its production... Well... It's amazingly big. Hosokawa Nobumoto almost missed it, he wanted to say that it was Besko Copper Mountain, whose total output exceeded 700,000 tons, and it was the largest copper mountain in Japan, which had been mined for 282 years.

"Yes, yes, absolutely, it's just this... No..."Goto Mitsunori was excited at first, but then wilted again. In this era, a lot of gold mountains and silver mountains were discovered, and there were a few copper mountains, but no coal mountains were excavated.

Why are copper coins related to coal mountains? This is because there are defects in the smelting technology of Japan, and there are bubbles in the smelted copper, and the quality of the smelted copper is not up to standard, and the reason is that the coal used for large-scale copper smelting is the best, and the Japanese is short of coal.

If coal is purchased from the Ming Dynasty, the cost of minting copper coins will increase, and the gains outweigh the losses. The use of coal will lead to poor quality, making it difficult for the people to circulate, and eventually it will not be done, and there will be no large-scale circulation, and it will not be able to replace the status of copper coins imported from the Ming Dynasty.

For a long time after that, the Japanese government has dispelled the idea of minting money, anyway, the people still recognize Yongle money the most, resulting in extreme dependence, making new money is better than buying Yongle money directly, these money is called ferry money, is a high-quality circulation currency. And those inferior local currencies, whose value is much lower than Yongle money, are collectively known as iron money.

"It's because of coal, right? I've already contacted Hizen-sama Hu and went to mine the North Song Coal Mine there. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is also a coal mine that he found after a lot of hard work, because the coal mine of the Japanese "Ben is either in the Hokkaido region or in the sea area of the Kyushu region, and it doesn't match him, but only Hu Zongxian of Matsuura has an old one.

"Hu? Lord Hu? "Some people have not experienced the journey of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally don't know that Hu Zongxian settled in Hirado, and his second son Hu Songqi entered the Matsuura family, named Matsuura Songqi, and is now the governor of the Matsuura family.

"That's it! So it's all alive! Gold! Silver! Copper! Hosokawa three-color standard currency is officially born! Wish! Hosokawa parents are prosperous! Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand heroically, and the time of the Hosokawa family had come.

"Wish! Hosokawa parents are prosperous! And they all bowed down in unison.
