Chapter 64: Iwami Ginzan
Looking at the team composed of the Praetorian Guards and the Imperial Forest Army behind him, there were tens of thousands of Silla troops behind the team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at Wang Mengyao, Lin Yi couldn't help but worry: "Do you say that there are enough people like this?" Don't go over there, it's us sheep in the tiger's mouth! ”
Glancing at Lin Yi, Wang Mengyao said, "Have you ever seen such a mighty sheep full of killing intent?" ”
Lin Yi looked at the Praetorian Guards and the Imperial Forest Army, and it was indeed as Wang Mengyao said. Looking at these wolf-like soldiers, Lin Yi couldn't help but mourn for a minute for the cubs of the Japanese Kingdom.
"Don't think that Dongying can organize hundreds of thousands of troops to sneak attack our country's coast, just think how strong they are. Your idea is wrong, these hundreds of thousands of troops should be the last living force of the Dongying Kingdom. Although Lin Yi wouldn't ask or care, Wang Mengyao still explained softly on the side: "And we are not going to do anything about Dongying." Even if the entire island of Dongying is brought down, we in Datang don't have so much manpower to develop it. Therefore, we are here mainly to deter them, and we must fight them in order to ensure the temporary tranquility of our coastal areas. If it is possible, if some of their vital forces are consumed, then there will be no threat to China's coastal areas in the next ten years. ”
On the side, Lin Yi listened carefully to Wang Mengyao's explanation. glanced at Wang Mengyao's confident and decisive posture when she spoke, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: Do you know that you are like this, making me, an eight-foot-tall old man, and a crossover person with crossing benefits, very embarrassed! At a time like this, shouldn't I be the one who said this... Although I don't know anything about it. Seeing that Roger next to him looked like I was shocked, Lin Yi was powerless to complain!
However, thinking of the Dongying Kingdom at this time, which is the small Japan of later generations, Lin Yi couldn't help but think that he had seen it in a program in the historical archives by an occasional opportunity, and it seemed that there was a treasure in Dongying at this time that had not yet been developed! Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately immersed himself in his memory, what is it?
Along the way, Lin Yi didn't remember that memory even if he wanted to break his head, but subconsciously, Lin Yi understood that that treasure land was very important to today's Datang. But sometimes that's it, the more you think about something, the more you can't remember it. Lin Yi, who hadn't thought of anything after working hard for a long time, couldn't help but shout irritably, "What the hell is it?" Why can't I remember, damn it! ”
Wang Mengyao, who was startled by Lin Yi's sudden voice, "What? Seeing Lin Yi scratching his ears and cheeks, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking about something very important, but I just can't think of anything......" Lin Yi took a deep breath, "Forget it, I don't want to." When it's time to remember, I naturally remember. ”
Leaning, the guide assigned by Su Dingfang to Lin Yi and others. There is still a long distance from Anton to Fuzhou Port, so along the way, Xiang Tilt is used as a guide to guide Lin Yi and others. Xiang Tilt is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, who looks a little bookish. However, Xiang Tian's actual identity is that of a businessman who travels from place to place. In ancient times, a merchant was a profession that was very despised by people, just like a singer in a restaurant, with no social status to speak of. But Lin Yi, who has modern memories, doesn't think so. A country's economy will be driven by these businessmen.
So since learning about Xiang Tilt's identity, Lin Yi has never regarded Xiang Tilt as a lowly businessman, but as an equal.
Because of his 21st century memory and worldview, Lin Yi understands that there is no distinction between high and low professions. As long as it is useful to this society, it is a noble profession!
Lin Yi jumped off the horse and came to Xiang Tian's side, "Brother Xiang, I don't know how long it will be before Fuzhou Port?" ”
Hearing Lin Yi's words, seeing Lin Yi jumping off the horse and coming to his side, Xiang Tian was a little flattered, "If you go back to your lordship, at the current speed, there will be one day, that is, at this hour tomorrow night, you can get to Fuzhou Port!" ”
"Hmm." Hearing Xiang Tian's words, Lin Yi nodded knowingly, "Also, don't call me an adult in the future." I'm a white man, but no one has any official position, so I'm not an adult. If Brother Xiang wants to look up to me, he will call me Brother Yi in the future. ”
"This, where is this!" Although Lin Yi said it so casually, Xiang Tian didn't dare to call it that. Xiang Tilt still remembers the scene when Lin Yi and General Su Dingfang hooked up with each other, it was the general of the imperial court who was in the third grade! can hook up with a person of such an identity, he can be an ordinary person!
Seeing that Xiang Tian still looked frightened, Lin Yi was helpless. Conversations like this have happened a few times in the past few days. Every time Lin Yi said this, Xiang Yi looked like he couldn't make a mistake, which made Lin Yi really not know what to say.
Lin Yi understands that this concept of respect and inferiority, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, cannot be transformed overnight. Anyway, the road was boring, Lin Yi asked Xiang Tian, "Brother Xiang, I heard that you are in business." I don't know what kind of business Brother Xiang is doing? ”
"If you go back to adults, the small ones are just doing some small business to support their families."
"It's also a business, let's talk about it."
"The little one might as well be respectful. The villain is a native of Toyoshu, and there is a food we call sea vegetables along the coast of Toyoshu, which is very popular in some big cities. Therefore, the villain bought some seafood locally and transported it to nearby major cities, resold it, and made some price difference. When he said this, Xiang Tian seemed to be afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained: "In addition to the cost of some manpower and material resources, the small one per catty of sea vegetables only earns a penny of profit, and does not make much, please be aware of it." ”
"Are all businessmen like you?" Seeing Xiang Xiangcheng's frightened appearance, Lin Yi blurted out.
Xiang Tian didn't know why Lin Yi asked this, but he still nodded and said: "Adults don't know, if these small businessmen who make a living by reselling, if the difference in the price they earn is too large and is discovered, they will just lose the trust of the people." If it is heavy, they will even be beaten to death by angry people, so the merchants who make a living by reselling in the Fengzhou area can either resell goods from some remote places, and they can also ask for a higher price. Or just make a small profit, just like me. And in terms of people's incomes now, if the difference is too large, ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all. Even so, it is still only affordable for some large households. But even so, we still have to be a businessman worthy of the trust of the people, we are not lowly! ”
Feeling the helplessness and resoluteness in Xiang Tian's heart, Lin Yi patted Xiang Tian's shoulder with some sadness, unable to say a word. In the postmodern era, there is a saying that there is no traitor, no business. And if these words are placed on Xiang Lean's body, it is the biggest irony. In the postmodern era, what businessman is not racking his brains and changing the law to make greater profits? Does anyone think about the purchasing power of the population? People only care about whether they are doing well or not, who cares if others are doing well?
After all, it's because of poverty! If every family has money to spare, who cares about the extra penny sea vegetables? Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly had a feeling of happiness, he couldn't think of anything after thinking and meditating just now, but this moment clearly appeared in his mind!
In the postmodern era, when it comes to the Iwami Silver Mountain of Wajima, who doesn't know it, and who doesn't know? This behemoth, which accounts for about one-third of the world's total silver production, is definitely a natural treasure trove from nature! If it can occupy that silver mountain and develop it, Datang's financial resources will definitely increase several times.
Moreover, the sea vegetables that Xiang Tilt mentioned just now, after Xiang Tilt's description, Lin Yi has determined that it is a common kelp in the postmodern era. This kind of thing can be cultivated and mass-produced in a large area, although it cannot be eaten as a staple food, but it is also an edible food, isn't it? In this era of food shortage, every additional food that can be mass-produced is extremely important for the country! Food can definitely be used as a strategic material in this war era.
The kelp thing can still be put aside, after all, how to artificially breed, Lin Yi is still completely out of shape. But the matter of Iwami Silver Mountain is the top priority today. Lin Yi said excitedly to Wang Mengyao: "Little girl, let's get rich, hahaha!" ”
