Zhen Qian looked at the three people in front of him with the tea, and said with a smug smile: "I have harvested more than you this time, plus the victims who attacked Qiuye Village from outside, and fifteen thousand women, children and craftsmen have been quietly transported to the Wufeng Islands one after another. There is also a large amount of labor available in the mines of Mt. Kazeming, and when these laborers are skilled, they can be sent to Iwami! ”

Although Hizen Province suffered an unprecedented disaster this time, Fujiwara Brusho bought a large number of mines, and many victims had a new place to go, that is, mining!

Mining is definitely a high-risk profession in this era, and in the dark underground, without any protection, no one knows if they can come up after going down the mine. However, hunger drove the victims, and they had to risk their lives to go down the mine one after another to dig frantically for ...... just for a bite to eat.

When Zhen Qian returned to Saga Town, tens of thousands of miners had poured into the mines under his name, especially the Fengmingshan Gold Mine, which could be described as destructive excavation.

Several bottomless mines were filled with ant-like miners, and baskets of rough gold ore were dug out from the depths of the ground, then simply processed and refined, and immediately transported back to the Wufeng Islands. Behind a basket of gold mines, there are a lot of white bones, and every day people die of exhaustion in the mines, and some people suddenly fall down with ore on their backs and never get up again.

While many people fell in the mines, many more walked down the mines, where miners worked only four hours a day to get the food they needed for their families, and even if they fell ill, they were treated for free, and this was a paradise compared to other places.

In many mines, miners can't see sunlight at all, and they are completely groundhog-like beings living underground, because they stay under the mine for a long time, and when someone walks out of the mine, their eyes are blinded by the sun. More people were thrown into mass graves to die before they could breathe because they were crowded together and were contagious.

However, compared to starving to death, it is lucky to be able to enter the mine to mine, and even in order to get a qualification to go down to the mine, violent incidents between disaster victims are common.

The willingness of wealthy grain merchants to provide a little food to feed the countless hungry victims is already considered a good thing in the eyes of many people.

Compared with other places, Hizen Country is considered a paradise, the government takes out food for disaster relief, and the rich give food to them, as long as they still have a handful of strength, even if they have a little appearance, they can survive in this disaster year.

"Zhen Lang, now that the price of grain in Xikaidao has risen by fifty percent, while the price of gold and silver has dropped by twenty percent, shouldn't we release some relief grain?" Wang Tianxing held a grass root and picked his teeth without an image.

Zhen Jiu glanced at Wang Tianxing and said, "It's not winter yet?" After the first heavy snowfall, it will be the most difficult time for the victims, master! Should we stock up on some winter clothes for the winter now? ”

"Hmmm! This idea is not bad", Zhen Qian nodded approvingly, thought for a while, and said: "Your words remind me, this winter is probably going to be very cold, I should stock up on more coal, and the miners' winter shelters should also be prepared in advance, and when this disaster passes, I am afraid that there will not be much such cheap labor, we can't dry up and fish and burn the forest and hunt, give the miners more benefits......." ”

Zhen Qian turned his head and looked at Yamamoto Fifty-six again: "Don't be suspicious of many people, Saga Town is a nail that we have inserted in Hizen Province and even Saikaido, I plan to buy all the surrounding land and let the miners cultivate it in the future, and this place will also be expanded, so I will leave the matter to you!" ”

After hearing this, Yamamoto Fifty-six was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately threw himself to the ground, his head slammed on the bamboo board and "banged", and his mouth said loyally: "Thank you master, the villain will definitely do what the master tells you to do, if there is any omission, it is not a pity to die with ten thousand arrows through the heart!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhen Qian was very satisfied with Yamamoto Fifty-six's attitude, and turned to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who immediately knelt on the ground and looked at Zhen Qian expectantly.

"You have selected a thousand strong people from among the miners, and I will have someone quietly send you to Iwami, and you will build a manor on Iwami Mountain, and you will be the owner of the manor in the future, do you understand my intentions?"

"The villain understands!"

Of course, Zhen Qian was not so idle that he ran to Iwami Mountain to build a manor, but to cover people's ears and eyes and set up suspicions, there was Iwami Village outside as a cover, and there were manors on the mountain to cover up the traces of mining, echoing each other and restricting each other, and it was difficult for anyone to find out that this was actually a silver mine in a short period of time.

If it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's lack of background, Zhen Qian could make Toyotomi Hideyoshi a local minor master, which would be more helpful to Iwami's control.

Yamamoto Fifty-six and Toyotomi Hideyoshi secretly glanced at each other, and they had a strong heart in their hearts.

At this time, Zhen Qian said: "Zhen Thirty-one has returned, bringing news from Ryukyu, and the wolf's den has also sent people to the Wufeng Islands, and then it is time for us to show our skills......." ”

Before Zhen Qian's words were finished, a person walked in outside the door, bowed and handed a note to Zhen Qian's hand, Zhen Qian opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but show a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth, and said with a cold gaze: "Wang Guanqi has left Nagasaki Town, and he will return to Datang from the North Road in the next few days, Zhen is seventy-two ......." ”

Zhen Seventy-two looked puzzled, Wang Guanqi himself had seen it once, and he used to get along with Zhen Gan quite well, but at this time, seeing that Zhen Qian's face was not good, he didn't dare to ask more: "What does the master command?" ”

"Wang Guanqi threatened me in Nagasaki Town and coerced me to take out half of the crystal chip shares to serve Yang Guozhong, what do you say?"

"Kill him!" Zhen Seventy-two said without hesitation.

Zhen Qian no longer has the anger and irritability before, there are all kinds of people in this world, some people work hard, some people get something for nothing, some people stick to their hearts, some people climb the dragon and the phoenix, everyone's path is different, but some people like to take other people's paths, so that others have no way to go. Before, Zhen Qian still had some sympathy and appreciation for Wang Guanqi, as the son of the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, he was under great pressure while being in the limelight, and suffered great changes after the separation, for which he gave up a comfortable life at sea, such a person was worthy of Zhen Gan's respect.

However, Wang Guanqi wanted to cling to Yang Guozhong, and he also wanted to use Zhen Qian as his own vote, such a person has broken through the bottom line of being a man, and there is no need to live.

The reason why Zhen Qian endured and didn't kill Wang Guanqi in Nagasaki Town was not because he didn't dare, but because he didn't want to provoke Yang Guozhong right now, until Mrs. Yu Guo slapped his sister in the face, and when Yang Guozhong sent someone to encroach on his family property in Luquan County, Zhen Qian and Yang Guozhong were endless mortal enemies.

Zhen Qian did not lose his calm and judgment because of anger, maybe he is an ant in front of Yang Guozhong now, but no one knows if this ant will grow up and become an existence that kicks Yang Guozhong under his feet.
