Chapter 90: The Source of Living Water

The recruitment of miners in Shimane Prefecture went even more smoothly than Jiang Yin expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as I heard the news of a bag of rice in three days, the Japanese locals were much more crazy than the Great Song people, and Shimane Prefecture, as the largest island in the Japanese archipelago, had seven counties under its rule, including Hachishu-gun, Nito-gun, and Iiishi county, and there were sixteen towns under these seven counties, and the Izumo Town, Okuizumo Town, Iinan Town, and Tsuwano Town in the Middle East were quite large counties.

Each of these large towns has a population of at least tens of thousands, so Jiang Yin recruited 3,000 miners at the beginning without any pressure on these large towns, and even after the registration deadline, a large number of people from remote villages came to sign up.

The temptation of a bag of rice in three days is as tempting for people in this era as the annual salary of millions in later generations.

The first batch only recruited 3,000 people, which is really small for the large silver mine of Iwami Silver Mountain, but at the beginning, only 3,000 people were recruited Jiang Yin also had his own plans.

Iwami Silver Mine was a large silver mine that was not discovered in Japan until the 14th century, when China had reached the Ming Dynasty and was discovered hundreds of years in advance, and Jiang Yin did not dare to guarantee what kind of scramble this silver mine would lead to in the central part of Honshu Island.

But at least in the 14th century, around this Iwami silver mine, the Japanese themselves fought more than a dozen battles of tens of thousands of people, if too many people were recruited at the beginning, it was one thing not to manage it, and even more so to be afraid of people's eyes.

If Jiang Yin can mine more than fifty tons of silver in the first month, then this news is definitely a sensation for the current Japan, and at that time, no matter what the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, it is estimated that they want to come to Iwami Silver Mine to get a piece of the pie.

Although Jiang Yin is not afraid of these trash fish, he could have made a fortune quietly, but now he has become well-known, and it is very likely that he will have to clean up those unimportant trash fish regardless of the trouble, which Jiang Yin must not accept.

So at first, he planned to implement a semi-closed militarized management of the mining of Iwami Ginzan, and 3,000 people were the best test subjects.

Most of these 3,000 people are Japanese residents of Iwamiyama, and these people grew up here, so they know the land very well and are very attached to it.

Jiang Yin's initial plan is to let 3,000 people fully enjoy the benefits brought to them by Iwami Silver Mountain, Iwami Silver Mountain is a good place, its mining cycle is more than 50 years in history, even if Jiang Yin increases its efforts to overexploit, this vein will never be dug up within 20 years.

Therefore, Jiang Yin has to make a long-term transaction with a cycle of at least twenty years.

Making the area around Iwamiyama a Japanese base for him is a long-term deal.

As he has been in a high position for more and more time, Jiang Yin has become more and more able to get a glimpse of some very essential truths, the ruler is actually an exploitative relationship for the people, no matter what kind of model, no matter what kind of political system, what kind of kindness, benevolence, righteousness and morality are not worth the word 'interests'.

A regime that is pleased, convinced, and loyally supported by the common people must be a regime that can bring 'benefits' to the common people.

In this world, the eyes of the people are the brightest, as long as they can provide them with food, let them earn a lot of money, and give them a stable environment, then they will be at ease and complimented to lead their government.

Jiang Yin, who killed the emperor, was not worried that after he made this matter public in the future, the Japanese people would rebel against him, because at that time, the benefits he could bring to the Japanese people were definitely far greater than what the emperor could give them......

.........

The mining work of Iwami Silver Mountain in Japan began, it is still a familiar method, it is still a familiar job, three thousand Japanese miners are in full swing, they are desperately waving the axes in their hands and digging down, because Jiang Yin promised them that under their hammers, they will lie down in a happy life in the future.

After watching these Japanese miners advance into the mines, Jiang Yin felt bored, this thing was just starting in his empire, and he could see this scene on the grasslands of South Africa almost every day.

And now, the diamond has been exchanged for silver, but Jiang Yin no longer has the excitement he had back then.

After handing over the affairs of Japan to Wang Zishan, Jiang Yin teleported back to Cangzhou......

........

Jiang Yin, who returned to Cangzhou, did not go back to the city lord's mansion directly, he had a whim to go to the villages around Cangzhou to have a look.

The weather in July has swayed the enthusiasm of summer, the sun is like fire, the land is also lush, this season, everywhere is full of eagerness and hope.

After Jiang Yin teleported to Lantian County in Cangzhou, standing in the shade of a tree, he saw the asphalt road leading to Zhuangzi at a glance, which made him feel very good.

According to the original plan, at the end of July this year, a perfect road system in the four prefectures and counties of the New Song Kingdom will be established.

With Cangzhou as the center, three wide asphalt roads lead to Qingzhou, Dezhou, Dizhou three states, these three asphalt roads are set by Jiang Yin as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 national highways, and in the other three states only see a township road to connect these three states and counties, at the end of July, each village, but also to build a county road to connect the states and counties of each state.

In front of him, although it was not spacious, it was enough for the village to be opened to traffic smoothly, which made Jiang Yin see the steady footsteps of the new Song Kingdom.

As long as the roads can be built, soon the news will be able to reach the various regions under his rule more quickly, and the four states, although they are still a small area for the huge Great Song and Khitan, but for Jiang Yin, it is enough for the development of the new Song Kingdom.

If Jiang Yin drove his tank force to continue to expand, he could conquer more states and counties in a short period of time, and it was not impossible to even fight the Yangtze River and the Great Song Dynasty.

But the price of doing so is that the living standards of the people under the rule of the New Song Dynasty should not be raised too high in a short period of time, and it may even be possible to retreat instead of advancing.

It is not the government that pays for the war, but the people in the war, what Jiang Yin needs is a united country, so winning people's hearts is the premise of any decision.

If the human heart is reminded, nothing he does is meaningless.

Seeing the lush farmland and the automatic waterwheel set up not far from the field, Jiang Yin showed a knowing smile, it seems that Wang Sizong and they have gradually begun to learn and master the technology that they have brought to them from modern times, this is a good sign, just bring things from the afterlife, this is just water without a source, a tree without roots. Only when the New Song Dynasty itself has a certain degree of scientific and technological development can the whole society continue to develop......
