"Chief, what is the output of this gold mine, and how much gold can it produce per month?" I only heard the clan ask as soon as he spoke.

"At the current rate, it can produce about 10,000 per month. So it will take at least a few decades to hollow out this entire vein. ”

"Why is it so slow?" After hearing this, it was difficult for the clan to accept this answer, even if it was 10,000 a month, not to mention the distance, even if the money for the armor and weapons that needed to be purchased in the near future could not be scraped together, so it was necessary to speed up.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Later, you go and inform Kagawa Tadaji and ask him to expand the scale of the Nuggets, I don't believe that there are enough people, and the output will not go up." ”

"Brother, I'm afraid this won't work, the reason why Ji Xiaolu's family only mined with a hundred people back then was not because they didn't want to increase the number of people, but because the developed mine cave is currently the limit of accommodating dozens of people, even if it recruits more, it is useless, and the rest of the people are responsible for refining, so recruiting people cannot increase production, and please ask the lord to decide."

And when he finished speaking, Kagawa Tadaji ran in from outside the door, only to hear him say helplessly: "Lord, just now the subordinates have learned from the mouths of the seven gold diggers that the output of this gold mine can only be answered to about 10,000 per month, because the mine is small, so even if the number of people is increased, it is useless, and the subordinates only have more than half a month at most, otherwise it is impossible to go back and forth from the boundary town, and the subordinates have not thought of any solution, so please also ask the lord to make it public." ”

"Okay, I've got it all figured."

After speaking, I saw that the clan leader looked at the Gao Shan clan chief again and said, "Clan chief." Do you have a way to increase production? ”

After thinking about it, the head of the Gao Shan clan also said helplessly: "Forgive your subordinates for being stupid, and your subordinates don't have any good solutions." ”

Now that the gold mine has been obtained, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't increase production, but without advanced technology, and can't increase manpower, this is really not easy to do, even if the clan can't help but run out of ideas. I saw him stand up and keep walking around the assessment room, and the problem of technique was definitely impossible to solve. After all, he is not a professional, so he did not waste much time on this at all, but was thinking about other possibilities.

The road to increase manpower has also been blocked. In the future, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the gold mine, it is possible to increase manpower, but now the gold mine has just been mined, and it is still early to that day, and I have to gather at least more than 10,000 pieces of gold in more than half a month, what should I do?

While thinking quickly, the clan also felt a little regretful, regretting that he should have rejected Nobunaga at that time, and if he refused, then he could apply to Nobunaga for reinforcements. As long as there is the help of the Oda Army, it should not be difficult to defeat Takeda and keep the territory, and after Nobunaga's death, this gold mine is not his own, but it is too late to return the gold mine in exchange for Nobunaga's help.

Nobunaga's character clan knows it very well. What he hated most was to go back on his word, and if he returned the gold mines, then it would be strange that Nobunaga was not angry, but when he was angry, he took back the gold mines and did not send reinforcements. That family is really finished, so this road is also a dead end.

And this Ji Xiaolu Lai Gang is really good enough, he has been in Hida for so long, and he has just mined, if he had discovered and mined for more than ten years, Lao Tzu would not have had a headache now.

If there is no technology, manpower cannot be increased, so what else can Lao Tzu add to increase production?

Hey, thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the clan's mind, yes, since the manpower can't add more families, then he can increase the time for mining.

If you recruit another 100 people and let them mine gold at night, then you can double the output of the people who stop mining, and it is completely possible to collect 10,000 yuan worth of gold in more than half a month. …,

If you go to the family and have a few thousand pieces of money left now, it will be about the same, even if there is still a gap, you can also withdraw it from the Kaimachi Sparrow House first, and now that five months have passed since 1568, with the prosperity of the Kaimachi Sparrow House, it is still no problem to earn a few thousand kan in these few months, so if you say that, then the money to buy armor and weapons will not be enough.

When the clan was thinking about the way, Kagawa Tadaji was also secretly complaining to the lord, if it wasn't for the lord last year who gave a thousand sets of armor to the country daimyo as if they were given away for nothing, then the family just had 1,500 sets of armor weapons that could be equipped with a light weight, and the Changzong family is now beautiful, but the family is in a predicament, it seems that it is better to persuade the lord more in the future, so as not to get a hot head, but maybe what will be sent out of the house.

"Alright, I've already figured out a way, Kagawa Tadaji, I order you to expand the number of gold nuggets to two hundred......"

"Lord, at present, with the scale of the mine, it can only accommodate a few dozen people, even if you recruit more gold diggers, it will be useless."

"Shut up, I haven't finished speaking, how do you know that the road is useless, you listen to me, after recruiting two hundred gold diggers, divide them into two groups, one group mines during the day, one group mines at night, people can rest, but the gold mine can't rest, if I know that the gold mine is empty, you can go to mine for me personally, do you understand?"

After listening to this, Kagawa Tadaji couldn't help but be overjoyed, such a difficult thing to solve, the lord only had less than a pillar of incense to solve it, this is really hard to believe, if it is really operated according to the lord's method, then even if the newly recruited gold diggers are not skilled, but more than half a month is enough to mine gold worth 20,000 yuan, and the output has doubled.

But then again, even if this is the case, the remaining funds of the family are less than 7,000 yuan, and it is still a little worse, he has already calculated, it takes 19,000 yuan to buy armor and weapons, and the family can't have nothing without it, at least 1,000 yuan must be left in case of emergency, in this way, there is still a difference of 3,000 yuan, where do these 3,000 yuan come from.

Thinking of this, I heard him hurriedly speak: "Lord, even if you mine with all your strength for half a month, plus the money left by your family, you are still three thousand yuan away from buying a thousand sets of armor and weapons, this is ......"

"The rest of the expenses will be taken from the Mahjongya in Kaimachi, which should be enough."

"Enough, enough, the subordinates will do it, and the subordinates will retire."

As soon as Kagawa Tadaji left, the Takayama clan chief saw that the gold mine matter had been satisfactorily resolved, so he also wanted to retire, but before he could speak, he only heard the clan clan say earnestly: "Clan chief, if the Takayama family wants to prosper, it is not enough to have money, talent is the most critical, once the people's hearts are scattered, this team will not be easy to lead."

Do you know what I don't want to see the last thing I want, that is, there are many factions in my family, although it seems that I am worried a little too early now, but if I don't prevent it very early, once the faction is formed, then it will be too late to control it.

And you are not only my brother, but I know that you are quite talented in this area, so I hope that you will unite my family forever, so that my Takayama family will stand tall in the long river of history. ”

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will live up to my brother's trust." Including the clan clan, no one wants the Takayama family to prosper more than the head of the Takayama clan, and it is not difficult for him to unite the retainers, and even if it is difficult, for the sake of the Takayama family, he must find a way to do it, so just listen to his answer is so resolute.

"Okay, I'm sure you can do it, in addition, as a garrison, you also need to pay attention to the security of the territory at all times, especially the gold mine, this gold mine will become one of the most important economic sources of the family, so there can be no mistakes, this matter is up to you. Okay, you step aside. ”…,

"Yes, the subordinates retired." With the end of the assessment meeting, all the retainers of the Gao Shan family performed their duties and began to get busy, especially the retainers who led the army, they all knew that the battle that came down from the road would become a battle that would determine the fate of the family, and if they wanted to win, there was only one way, that is, to train the army under their command.

As soon as they came out of the castle tower, they walked towards the training ground together, and began to choose their subordinates, of course, since the lord has an order, of course, it is selected by Omiya Jinglian first, but don't look at the training ground There are 1,500 people who are really a lot, but when a round of selection, only one hundred and fifty people can pull the heavy rattan bow, and after eliminating ten Ashigaru who barely opened the bow, Omiya Jingren only selected one hundred and forty-five people, if you add sixty gold diggers and the original heavy vine bow Ashigaru, then the army under his command has reached three hundred and five.

And the lord wants to select a hundred flag warriors from the various armies of the family, which is not a good thing for Omiya Keiren, but he does not dare to disobey the lord's order, and second, he does not want to delay the future of his command, so he selects the best five ashigaru from them and gives them to Maeda Keiji.

As for the one hundred and forty-five people who could be selected from them, Omiya Keiren was already very satisfied, but it was not an easy task to train them to have the same combat power as the previous hundred heavy vine bow ashigaru.

Shigeto Bowashigaru is different from the rest of the family, so it can be said that if you just let them shoot arrows with a bow, then it won't take a month and a half to do it, but if you want to shoot fast, it's not so easy.

Of course, Omiya Keiri never thought that this newly recruited ashigaru would be able to reach such a level in a month and a half, as long as they could keep up with the rhythm in this month or so and not seriously support their hind legs, he would be satisfied. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
