Following the Kimberley Diamond Mine in South Africa and the Melbourne Gold Mine in Australia, Jiang Yin finally opened his third rare precious metal industrial area after occupying Japan: Iwami Silver Mountain Mine in Ota City, Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Japan is located on an island, with little land and many mountains, so it is very rich in mineral vein resources, and in history, Japan is a famous gold and silver country, and the output of gold and silver is famous in the world.

And Iwami Ginzan is a very famous silver mine in Japanese history.

Located in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, Iwami Ginzan was the largest silver mine in Japan in the late Warring States period and early Edo period, and it is estimated that its silver mine production was as high as one-third of the world's silver production at that time. At the beginning of the Edo period, it was called Sama Ginzan, but after that, the silver mines gradually dried up, and after the Meiji era, it was mainly mined for copper-bearing minerals.

According to the book "Records of Iwami Ginzan", as early as 1309, when Hiroyuki Ouchi, a daimyo of Zhou Defense Province, visited Iwami Province, there was a record of silver mining on the occasion of a visit to the Hokuto Myomi Bodhisattva, and later Mishima Kiyoemon, the owner of Copper Mountain in Izumo Kunido Rice Village, who was subordinate to Ouchi Yoshiko, helped the Ouchi family excavate an underground silver vein in March 1526, and his son Yoshitaka Ouchi succeeded to the throne in 1533 through the Hakata merchant Kamiya Toshisada to recruit craftsmen to greatly increase the production of silver with the ash blowing method, a fine chisel technique learned from overseas.

At that time, Japan produced about 300 tons of silver per year, and the Iwami silver mine produced 88 tons per year, which was enough to reach millions of taels of silver.

There have been many battles in the history of Japan, and after the production of Iwami Ginzan increased, the surrounding daimyo Ouchi Yoshiko, Ouchi Yoshitaka father and son, Niko Susuhisa, Niko Harumhisa and Mori Moto fought for the dominance of the silver mine.

Eventually, Iwami Ginzan was transferred to the joint management of the Mori family and the Toyotomi family, and became the main source of funds for Hideyoshi's later invasion of Korea during the Battle of Bunroku Keichanaga.

Over the course of several decades, Iwami has produced a considerable amount of silver mines, and according to reliable data, more than 10 million tons of silver have been produced in more than 40 years of mining, not including other associated veins that coexist with silver, such as copper, tin, lead, and so on.

Jiang Yin has been coveting this vein for a long time, and in modern times, Tianchen Company's transaction order for ten tons of silver from Tiffany & Co. Jewelry has been placed, and the money from Tiffany & Co. has been in place, and now it is a silver mine.

Ten tons of silver trading, Jiang Yin sold according to the market price of 3.23 yuan per gram, one ton of silver is 1,000 kilograms, 1,000 kilograms is 1,000 grams, multiplied by the average price of each gram, and finally got a price of 3.23 million yuan for a ton of silver, and Jiang Yin can almost earn more than 30 million yuan for ten tons of silver.

Ten tons of silver ore, which is nothing but a drizzle for Iwami Yinshan, which has never been mined, Jiang Yin is confident that this mining target will be completed within half a month.

After the location is chosen, the next step is to recruit people, because the Japanese government has already been controlled, so Jiang Yin's recruitment in Shimane County is also fanfare and unscrupulous.

A large number of giant posters promoting the mining industry were printed, Jiang Yin bought ten taels of pickup trucks from modern times, and then introduced a large number of daily necessities.

Because of the previous experience of purchasing a base in Africa, this time in Shimane Prefecture to purchase a mining base, Jiang Yin is familiar with the road, what to match, what to buy, all at one time.

When the pickup truck with the giant propaganda poster drove to the county, town, and village of Shimane Prefecture, the villagers of Shimane Prefecture were frightened by these giant steel monsters, and when Wang Zizen, who was standing on the truck, opened his mouth to speak, the village names were so frightened that they hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

However, it was a trivial matter for a modern person like Wang Zishan to convince the ancients, and it only took a few minutes for Wang Zishan to use his proficient Japanese to trick the village names out of the house.

"Take a walk and take a look, His Majesty the Emperor is recruiting people to mine! One bag of rice in three days! Sign up now and get a bag of rice! If you want to sign up, please hurry up! The later ones are gone! The prince said loudly to the village names.

However, the village names just stared at the dozen or so trucks from afar, their faces frightened.

At this time, it is time for the wisdom of modern people to come into play, and the trust that has already been arranged in the vicinity slowly walked out of the villagers.

Most of them were wearing old clothes and looked very poor, and then they pretended to be pitiful and came up to sign up, and at this time, Wang Zishan would happily drag down bags of rice from the truck and hand them to them.

As a descendant of the world, the acting must be absolutely realistic, and the effect must be shocking.

Therefore, when the prince handed them rice, there would always be one or two sacks of rice that were broken into a big bag, and then one or two sacks of rice would be sprinkled with a bang, and the white rice would be sprinkled all over the ground like a waterfall.

"No, no, I'll get you a new one." At this time, Wang Zishan would wave his hand very 'generously' to say no, and then take a bag of rice to those supporters again.

This scene can be described as full of loopholes in the eyes of later generations, but in the eyes of these ancients, it is simply a tyrannical thing.

In Japan in the second year of Zhenyuan, the living standards of the Japanese people in this era were one or two levels worse than those of the Great Song Dynasty, because the country of Japan was high and hilly, and there was very little plain land suitable for planting, most of which were mountainous, so the taxes and forced labor of Japanese peasants were very heavy, and as long as they were coastal Japanese, their livelihood was mainly maintained by going out to sea to fish.

Food, in the eyes of the Japanese, is a sacred word, and their national culture is a gift from God, so the Japanese have been taught since childhood that they cannot waste a grain of food.

Wang Zishan scattered a bag of grain on the ground at once, and he had no intention of picking it up, such a thing, in the eyes of those onlookers, was definitely an unforgivable performance.

They walked to the place where the rice was scattered, and picked up the grains of rice one by one, this is the best white rice, they want to eat a bowl of such high-quality white rice is a luxury, and now someone can throw such white rice around.

"Young boy, what did you just say? What is the saying of a bag of rice in three days? An old man in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

The people around also came up to look at Wang Zishan.

Seeing that the performance he designed was very successful, Wang Zishan's face was also full of smiles, and he excitedly said to the villagers who gathered around: "His Majesty the Emperor has a decree, Iwami Silver Mountain is ready to start mining, and now there is a shortage of manpower, as long as adult men who are over eighteen years old and less than forty years old can be hired." As long as you are willing to do it, pay for a bag of rice in three days! Registration is available on a first-served basis! ”

"I'm signing up!" A big man in the crowd immediately took the lead, and as soon as he shouted, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and then everyone around shouted to sign up for mining.......
