The Japanese were intimidated by the force of the Tang people and conquered by the Tang tea, wine, silk and beef jerky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, at the summit meeting the next day, the Tang people's request was fully accepted.

Iwami Province became a vassal of the Tang State, but it was not easy to stand out, and on the surface it was still the power of the Japanese people.

The Tang people did not interfere in the administration of Dojinggang, but they accepted the guidance of the Tang people in internal affairs and diplomacy, and could retain the army militarily, and the Tang people would also send soldiers to train them, and when they fought wars, they obeyed the command of the Tang people.

Usually, as long as Doi Gang is not anti-Tang, he will do what he likes, and the Tang people will maintain due respect for him.

A strong pressure will only cause a backlash, with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, Wei Xi has long been clear about this.

"We now guarantee the stability of your regime, and you protect the interests of Datang, and when the time is right, you can become officials of Datang, and you and your descendants will become the people of Datang!" Jing Dongling solemnly promised.

The Japanese people who attended the meeting were very excited!

Become a citizen of Datang and completely change your life and the life path of your children and grandchildren.

"You can organize people to work for Datang, and we will pay you 130% of the market price; Add 10 percent to those people, and 20 percent is your harvest. Send troops to work hard for us, and we will pay you the same. "Jing Dongling is not too authentic.

"Good, good!" Doigang knows a lot: the Tang people do not shake his regime; The Tang people have a bright way out for them; Tang people pay attention to fair trade and will not force them to buy and sell. He was overjoyed and was thinking about how to make money from the Tang people.

And Jing Dongling also had a smile on his face, because Wei Xi's strategy of attacking the Japanese was "attacking from afar", attacking the Japanese people in the distance, making them into chaos, befriending the neighboring Japanese people, and letting them contribute.

……

Looking at the map sent by the Japanese people, although he didn't know what to do, after the translation of the chief leader of the party Kibi Shinzong, Jing Dongling found the town of Omori in Ermo.

"There is indeed an Omori Town!" Jing Dongling gasped and said.

Because in General Wei's description, it is that Omori Town, for their destination!

Wei Xi said very bluntly, if he really found a silver mine there, this would be an unpredictable opportunity, because no one had ever been there, whether it was Wei Xi or the Xuanqing Daoist who made the prediction!

It is said that the Xuanqing Daoist found it, but many people secretly think that it is Wei Xi's ability, because the Xuanqing Daoist is cultivated and should not pay attention to Hongchen's affairs.

God? Big Demon? Wei Xi.

Fortunately, our big demon, Jing Dongling, confidently led 2,000 men and horses to walk the dry road.

He did not waste his time, walking all the way, making maps all the way, observing the terrain, carefully marking dangerous locations, and preparing to set up checkpoints.

The road from Hamada Castle to Omori Town is not easy to walk, the hilly area, the green trees are like the sea, Jing Dongling from the beginning, the first instruction given to Doi Gang is to let him concentrate manpower to prepare to be a construction worker, and then to concentrate manpower to prepare for spring ploughing, so as to provide enough food for the Tang people.

There was no fighting, all the Japanese people along the way fell into the wind, and the mighty division of the Tang army reached the town of Omori in Shima, and there was no fighting.

Omori Town is a small town surrounded by lush mountains and forests, and the scenery is superb.

The 2,000 Tang army has already packed the town to the brim, and when they go out, they have no place to stand, and they are full of trees.

So they cut down trees and set up camp, and the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Industry and the foremen of the mines were eager to carry out exploration all over the mountains.

The Tang Army, on the other hand, was very busy, and the staff officers had to form a sand table as soon as possible, and the troops controlled the periphery, commanded the Japanese to build a seaport, and expanded the barracks, and the work was intense.

The Tang people let the Japanese know what efficiency is, and in just ten days, the newly built harbor quietly took shape, and a fortress appeared in the mountains!

The Japanese watched as the Tang people poured out bags of plaster, mixed water and stones, and soon formed a solid road or wall, like a magic fairy, which fascinated the Japanese people!

Everyone is working hard, and Jing Dongling is nervous, after all, the general handed over such an important matter to him, if he succeeds, then he is the great hero of the Tang Dynasty, in case of failure, it is difficult for him to see the general.

In the midst of gains and losses, the good news calmed his mind a little.

"The dog we brought with us barked very badly, and it was circling around this mountain, and there should be silver!" Ministry of Industry officials said.

In order to find the silver mountain faster and put it into production, in addition to the senior mine foreman, he also specially brought two prospecting dogs and took them across the ocean.

They were lucky enough to survive and set foot on land to serve the Tang army.

The dog's nose is indeed smart, and seven days after the arrival of the Tang Army, the first vein was found!

They were in a lot of commotion in this mountain forest, and the Tang army took out axes and saws to cut down trees, excavated with hoes and shovels, and soon after, found the first silver ore!

A pile of silver shiny ores was placed in front of Jing Dongling, and he couldn't help but laugh!

The news soon spread throughout the army and the naval fleet, and everyone fell into ecstasy: this trip was not in vain!

They went on a big job: building harbors, barracks, forts, roads, water diversion, etc., and after another month, when the defense system was established, the construction of the mine began.

First 3,000 miners were employed, and then 5,000 or 10,000 were used to build wells and smelt.

Day and night, the lights are bright, and the work starts in three shifts.

These miners were under the direct management of the Tang Army, and they were treated slightly higher than ordinary Japanese miners, and they were under military control.

They cut down trees piece by piece for fuel, but at the same time, according to Wei Xi's instructions, they cut down here and planted there, so as to be green and environmentally friendly.

Everything was in accordance with General Wei's instructions, and it was necessary to achieve the highest efficiency: send troops from Datang and send silver to Datang, while food, fuel, and labor relied on the supply of the Wa State.

Therefore, the trees must be planted back so that they can be recycled.

Then there was an external offensive, with the cooperation of Doigang, the civil attack was intimidated, and the surrounding Iwami Province Prefecture and Annong County were all brought under the control of the Tang army.

The Japanese army was reorganized and fortifications were built, so a defensive zone around the stone and silver mountain was initially established.

……

A plate full of silver ingots was held in front of the generals, and everyone picked it up and looked at it, and they were really full of joy.

The stone engraved on it is the word mine, and each silver brick has a hundred taels!

"We have now formed an annual production capacity of 200,000 taels, and we are still improving!" An official of the Ministry of Industry introduced. (Note: The average annual output of Iwami Ginzan during the stable period was 38 tons of silver, or 760,000 taels of silver per year)

"Great! When the silver is transported back to Luoyang, the emperor and the queen of heaven don't know how happy they will be! Jing Dongling said sincerely. (To be continued.) )
