I was very happy to see Wang Bo and Li Yu, and immediately ordered the dining room to prepare a table of good dishes. Abalone and fish bones are very common dishes in Yanwangfu, and the special signature dishes made in the dining room are only eaten in Andong, such as caviar made from salmon roe, fresh deer antlers, stewed pheasant with thousand-year-old mountain ginseng in Liaodong, halal grizzly bear paws bigger than human faces, Siberian tiger bone soup, salmon guilla......

Wang Bo looked at the nine dishes on the case, but he had never heard of his name, and he had never even heard of it, and he didn't know how to put chopsticks on the nine dishes like artistic masterpieces.

"Brother Zi'an, aren't these dishes unappetizing?"

Li Yu said with concern when he saw that he was slow to put down his chopsticks.

"I have long heard that there are chefs in His Royal Highness's mansion who are good at cooking, and there is no one in the world to compare, and it is well known today. The color and flavor are complete, so it is difficult for Chen Shi to use chopsticks to destroy these exquisite dishes! ”

Wang Bo was quite emotional, he wanted to taste the bear's paw, the appearance was so good, and he didn't want to destroy this beauty.

"The dishes are made for people to taste, Brother Zi'an wants to eat but does not eat, and it tastes bad when it is cold, which wastes the chef's hard work."

Under Li Yu's persuasion, Wang Bo tasted it with chopsticks, and the delicious taste made him appetite, as for destroying the exquisite appearance of the delicacy? Let's sigh again after eating.

When feasting, Wang Bocai really felt that the court and the opposition rumored that King Yan lived a luxurious life, and the cost was very heavy, and the nine ways on the case were difficult to taste in the Tang Dynasty.

In order to entertain Wang Bo, Li Yu specially took out the flying flowers and snow moons that had been treasured for ten years, and the rich sauce fragrance was opened, and the whole hall was filled with a rich aroma of wine.

Which literati since ancient times did not love wine? Wang Bo didn't wait for the maid to pour him wine, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying three good words in a row.

After a bitter drink, Wang Bo's face was slightly red, and Li Yu was stunned: "Brother Zi'an's talent can be compared to nothing more than three people in the world, Nuo Fei was framed by the traitor Jealousy and Jealousy, and today I am afraid that he has been in a high position in the court." ”

Wang Bo blushed, waved his hands and laughed helplessly.

"I am in charge of Anton, and I go around to conquer the barbarians who are not subject to the king, and the newly expanded land immigrates to Shibian to set up state and county management in order to be able to control it for a long time, and I urgently need the assistance of the world's heroes. Brother Zi'an is willing to assist the virtuous brother to expand the territory and break into a new world? ”

"The minister is only a little talented, and his Royal Highness values it, which really makes the minister panic."

Wang Bo had a sense of refusal in his words, but Li Yu was not the one who gave up.

At present, Wang Bo is reluctant to go out, but because he is arrogant and arrogant, he was framed by his colleagues and almost lost his life, which affected his father, and he had a psychological shadow on the officialdom, not to resist being an official.

Li Yu was resistant to alcohol and talked to Wang Bo about the great principle of governing the people for the government in Anton, and then rose to the need for more living space for the descendants of Yan and Huang in China, and it was only when the three emperors and five emperors of ancient times overcame obstacles to create Huaxia Shenzhou that they had today's paradise, and there was wine to cheer on.

Early the next morning, Wang Bo, who had woken up, looked at the official uniform brought by the maid, and asked him puzzledly if he didn't accept the call of King Yan, why did he give him the official uniform?

The maid said: "The king joined the army yesterday in response to His Royal Highness's recruitment as the secretary of the capital to participate in the military, His Royal Highness is afraid that you will regret it in the coming day and will not admit it, so I specially asked the slave to bring the official position that the king joined the army yesterday to take the position." ”

Wang Bo looked at the official notice handed over by the maid, his own handwriting on it, and suddenly felt that he was cheated by King Yan. Regret it now? On the sue, he wrote in his own handwriting: "A shameless villain who repents of a promise, is not a gentleman, is a vain minister, is disloyal and unjust, and is unkind and unbelieving, will fall into the nine ...... after death."

……

Li Laiheng, the general of the left guard in search of gold, personally led the team, organized capable manpower to basically explore the specific location of the domestic silver mines of Iwami, Inaba, and Tajima for half a month, and the reserves were assessed as large-scale silver mines.

The relevant prospecting materials were handed over by Li Laiheng to Xie Qian, the right guard general who was in charge of mining.

At this time, Xie Qian sent someone to take over the mining rights of the gold and silver mountains on Sado Island from Wang Aoke, the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet, and handed over to the generals of the garrisons of the silver ore reserves the order of the king of Yan to allow the right guard to search for gold and requisition the Japanese to labor and mine from the local area.

The gold and silver mountains of Sado Island are mined to get on the right track, and the local Japanese people are very cooperative, but they don't need Xie Qian's too much attention, focusing on the Iwami Silver Mountain, which has the largest proven reserves and is also the focus of Li Yu's care.

Su Mingxiu summoned the six counties of Iwami to temporarily appoint the local surrendered magnates of the Japanese state to temporarily appoint the county guards of the local surrendered magnates of the Japanese state, and issued an early levy of 2,000 young men to serve in labor.

As the king of Yan ordered the restoration of the tribal system on the land occupied by the Japanese state, the ordinary Japanese became a slave collective owned by the magnates, specializing in the production of various daily necessities for the powerful people.

The six county guards were not very happy when they heard that Su Mingxiu was going to levy labor, but they didn't dare to disobey Su Mingxiu's order, after all, Iwami was shot down by Su Mingxiu, not domestic conservative forces like Zhou Fang and An Yun who raised troops to help the Tang army capture it.

"The silver is out, Xie Xun will be out of the silver......"

The old miners, who had been searching for gold for many years, danced happily and came to say goodbye to Xie Qian, who had been on the mine.

Hearing the news, Xie Qian dropped the work at hand and ran to the smelter, where the silver-white silver solution from the mouth of the furnace for smelting silver slowly flowed into the mold three inches long and two inches wide, and the silver lakes gradually took shape.

It is preliminarily estimated that you can get a hundred silver lakes for the first time, each of which is ten taels, that is, one thousand taels of silver, and this is just a trial.

The results were remarkable, and Xie Qian couldn't stop the excitement in his heart, and ordered all the laborers to devote themselves to mining ore and building more blast furnaces for smelting silver by soot blowing.

Over time, the furnace fire of silver smelting at the foot of Mt. Omori, where Iwami Ginzan is located, has been extinguished day and night, and in the mine, the labor of mining is as numb and orderly as a machine, covered with dirt, and a basket of ore is carried out of the mine, hammered into crushed stone blocks under a hydraulic gravel hammer, and then put into a blast furnace for smelting.

Pieces of smelted silver were packed in boxes, and the gold-seeking right guard sent a special person to escort them back to Pyongyang for verification, and then enter Longyin Qian Village to cast tens of millions of silver coins into the market.

With the successive mining and production of Iwami, Inaba and Ikuno Silver Mountain on the edge of Lake Biwa in Tajima Province, together with the gold and silver mountains of Sado, Li Yu brought 40,000 taels of silver and more than 3,000 taels of gold every month, which was more than enough to pay for the Japanese army.

Li Yu realized what he claimed to Anton Wenwu that war can also make money, not just a waste of food and national strength.

If you forget to fight, you will die, and if you are belligerent, you will not necessarily die.

It depends on how the commander who started the war turns a war into a war that is profitable for the country and the people, not only does not consume the national strength, but on the contrary, the national strength becomes stronger and stronger as the war progresses.
