Chapter 462: Mine Exchange Conditions

Zhen Qian found that he was always at odds with the ideas of the ancients, and he was ready to open a money bank in Hizen Country, but Fujiwara Shuxiong "cleverly" refused on the grounds that foreigners could not run money houses in the Japanese country, and let him take out funds to buy the shares of Fujiwara Money Bank, which was already the biggest concession and favor in his eyes.

Giving the money to Fujiwara Shuxiong to run it, unless Zhen Qian's head was blinded by lard that day, it would be impossible at all.

A guy who doesn't even understand the concept of finance actually wants to run a money bank, Zhen Qian wants to laugh out loud when he thinks about it, the interest of four points is indeed not too high compared to the seven or eight points of lamb profit of the people, but why do others ask Fujiwara Shuxiong to borrow money, businessmen usually have no shortage of money in their hands, and when they need money urgently, they will ask acquaintances to borrow, and the interest is usually only three or four points, which is much lower than that of usury.

The people who really need to borrow money are actually those people at the bottom, they have no wealthy people around them, so they can only borrow money from loan sharks, but these people's ability to repay is extremely poor, usually as long as they borrow once, their families will be ruined, and they will not borrow money until they are desperate.

At this time, as the guardian of Hizen Province, Fujiwara Brusho should stand up, these are all Fujiwara Brush's people, and every bit of wealth they create has a part of Fujiwara Brush, isn't this enough?

Zhen Qian found that Fujiwara Shuxiong was very looking forward to this drought, so he didn't say much, and even had some faint expectations, this drought lasted longer, so that there would be more homeless hungry people, but in this way, the strength of the Hizen country would be greatly weakened, which was resistant to Zhen Qian's balancing strategy, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"That's right! Zhen Lang, don't you want to exploit the mineral resources of Hizen Country? Fujiwara asked suddenly.

"Why did you agree?"

Zhen Qian found that he was still unable to get his hands on the Iwami Silver Mountain on the main island of Wakoku, so he put the idea on the head of Hizen Country, which also has many small mines, the output is not high but it is better than a large number, he has mentioned it several times, and wants to lease the Hizen Country mine for mining, and the profits obtained are four to Fujiwara Shuxiong, in addition to manpower and early investment, he can also have three or four percent of the profits.

But Fujiwara Shuxiong has not let go of his mouth before, and Zhen Qian has almost forgotten about this matter.

"I can't help it! Do I owe you 40,000? "Kusu Maro spent 110,000 guan to buy jade porcelain, but he could only take out 50,000 guan in his hand, saying that he asked Fujiwara Shuxiong to borrow 60,000 guan, but Fujiwara Shuxiong knew that the money was wasted, and as a result, he went out and sold the second set of jade porcelain to Fujiwara Shuxiong at a 20% discount.

Fujiwara Shuxiong really has no money in his hands, Zhen Qian knows this very well in his heart, now Hizen Country is using money everywhere, Fujiwara Shuxiong has already started to rob, but the current Fujiwara Shuxiong's strength is too weak, and his foundation in Hizen Country is unstable, and he doesn't dare to take the businessmen and wealthy households.

"Okay!" Zhen Qian knew that it would be impossible for Fujiwara Shuxiong to repay the money in a short period of time, even if he put a knife on his neck, it was useless, but fortunately, Silla and Bohai each held a buying meeting, which made Fujiwara Shuxiong have tens of thousands of extra tens of thousands in his hand, and the money was immediately invested in Fujiwara Qianzhuang, making Fujiwara Shuxiong become a "loser" again.

"A penny is hard to beat a hero! Now I understand how difficult it is to start a business, just like Zhen Lang often said, it is easy to watch others work, if it is really your turn, you can feel the taste of it! Fujiwara Brush Male sighed with emotion: "I've been forced to a dead end, this time I came to you to discuss the matter of opening a mine with you, and I am also going to have a buying meeting, and take out half of the mines in Hizen Country to buy, Zhen Lang, what do you think?" ”

The first thing he did when he arrived in the country of Feiqian was to investigate the distribution of mineral resources, the country of Japan has been sending a large amount of gold and silver to the Central Plains since the Song Dynasty, and most of the gold and silver mines of the country are relatively shallow, according to the memories of some of Zhen Qian's previous lives, the silver mining reserves of the country account for one-third of the world, and the gold mining reserves have also reached one-tenth of the world.

The largest silver ore in the Wa country saw the silver mountain from the Song Dynasty began to mine, full of more than 800 years of mining, even in the Ming Dynasty when the mining technology was relatively backward, the annual output is as high as more than 100 tons, in modern times because of the fear of damaging the ecological environment to close up, the remaining reserves are still amazing. As for Sado Gold Mountain, the largest gold mine in the Wa Kingdom, more than 1,000 tons of gold were mined in history, giving the Wa Kingdom the title of the land of gold and silver.

Although the gold reserves on the Saikaido are not as large as those on Sado Island and the main island, it is also very easy to mine, and Zhen Qian naturally will not give up such an opportunity.

"That's what you're talking about?" Zhen Qian scoffed and let himself participate in the buying meeting held by Fujiwara Shuxiong, didn't he just want to let himself raise the price? There is no such good thing in the world.

"Naturally, you can't let Zhen Langbai do it!" Fujiwara Shuxiong knows Zhen Qian's character very well, and he also knows that if there is no benefit, Zhen Qian will never help himself, Zhen Qian's point and the Confucian who is full of benevolence and morality are completely different people, and he does not shy away from his desire for money, if he wants to impress Zhen Qian, it is simply not possible to not let blood go.

"There are a total of fifty-three mines found in Hizen Country, including seven gold mines, three silver mines, two iron mines, three copper mines, and the rest are some lead mines, zinc mines, marble, quartz and other mines You may not be able to see them, you can choose two of these mines at will, do not want your rent, as long as I give me forty percent of the total price of mining every year, as long as I mine whatever you want in Hizen Country a day, this condition is good!"

This condition is indeed very generous, Zhen Qian has no reason not to agree, and immediately agreed: "Deal!" However, there are two small conditions, the mining requires a large number of manpower, allowing me to recruit people from all over the country, and the second I need to hoard some food, which is also for the needs of mining, to ensure that my miners have food every day, these two conditions must be promised to me? ”

Tang Shang also received a lot of restrictions in the Wa Kingdom, although Zhen Qian could avoid these restrictions, but after all, it was not a long-term strategy, it was better to say it generously, so as not to cause complications in the future.

"How many people, how much food do you need?" Fujiwara Shuxiong didn't dare to easily agree to Zhen Qian's requests, and asked cautiously.

"There are about four or five thousand people, and we need to store at least three months of grain to ensure the operation of the mine?" Zhen Qian didn't want to use his reserves, so he could pull some out of Fujiwara Shuxiong's mouth and count some, so that it would not arouse Fujiwara Shuxiong's suspicions.
