As for the question of whether to accept other businessmen, Li Yining didn't think about it for too long, this Uncle Liao, but he didn't have any talent for adaptation, if it was her, he would have decided a long time ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Promise them. Let them. "But, after all, this is the owner's property, oh, the saint's property, how can I let other people come." Uncle Liao hesitated, and in his opinion, this was his master's private property, and now that Li Chen has ascended the throne and become the emperor, no one can be allowed to invade here.

After Li Chen ascended the throne, he went to his slave registration a long time ago, but this Uncle Liao is proud to be the emperor's slave, don't criticize him, after all, he is an ancient.

'It's okay, I'll make a decision for the saints, let them come, no need to ask. Aren't we going to let a lot of Japanese merchants come? "However, we need their goods, and we can buy what other Tang merchants can buy, and they will come here to steal business with me." ’

Besides, if there are more merchants and there are other options for the Japanese merchants, the goods may be a little more expensive, and other merchants will take away our business. Uncle Liao said his idea very plainly, he wanted to monopolize this place, so that he would come here to get a merchant, and he had no choice but to sell it to Li Chen.

Then those Japanese merchants had no way to get goods from other people, so they could only buy them from Li Chen. If other businessmen came in and had more choices, it would inevitably affect the monopoly of Li Chen's family, so he didn't make a decision for a long time, or rather, deliberately didn't let them in.

Hehe, what Uncle Liao said is indeed reasonable, but let's think about it backwards. Thinking in reverse is also taught by Li Chen, I can't say what Ah Q spirit is, I can only say that when I encounter something, I can't do it right, so I can do it the other way, don't drill the horns of the bull hard.

This is also the thinking of the Chinese, yin and yang, everything has two sides, and when something bad happens, find a turnaround. When something good happens, don't be happy too early, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing.

"This Sasebo is our family's development, they want to come, give them here, we can collect some port berthing fees, maintenance costs, and we will not be our family in the future." ’

Besides, maybe the merchants will have to choose too much and won't sell to us. But on the contrary, will this attract more people to buy and sell here, there are more things, the competition is bigger, and it is not expensive to be expensive, just like the Japanese merchants, you can shop around and sell. In the future, when there are more merchants, we can also shop around. It's the same thing. ’

'Good, reasonable, or the little lady thinks thoroughly, worthy of being a protégé of the Son of Heaven. Uncle Liao stroked his hands and admired. Li Yining didn't worry at all that the merchants of the Japanese Kingdom would not come, as long as they relied on Haide Seaport, there would be no problem. Although the Japanese have a long and narrow country, many mountains and rivers, and inconvenient transportation, they also have advantages.

There are many rivers that can naturally form a trading network. Down the river, there is the sea, and you can go to many places along the sea. Therefore, as long as the merchants of the Tang Kingdom gather here, they will not worry about those Japanese merchants and will not come. In fact, many of the merchants who trade here today do so on their own initiative.

'Uncle Liao, has that matter been resolved? Then Li Yining asked about another thing, which was the real purpose of her coming to Japan.

There are good and bad things in these things, and Sado Island belongs to the Emperor, although it was used by exiled prisoners, but after all, it belongs to the Emperor of Japan, and we have not yet received any definite information. Uncle Liao smiled bitterly, "Japan's new emperor, Emperor Buntoku ascended the throne, and it is still very chaotic. I can't find one to be responsible. ’

The Secretary of the Treasury pushed it to the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs pushed it to the right minister, but the left and right ministers have not yet decided. ’

'Chang climbed the copper mountain, and Nagato Mamoru completely disagreed. We found someone to say that it was useless. Iyomori agreed. Izu has a vague attitude, and will accept our gifts, but he doesn't say no, he doesn't say yes, and he drags it out and doesn't give the news. Dewa country, due to the long distance, there is no definite news. Satsuma Mamoru completely disagreed, and refused on the grounds that without the emperor's edict, it was impossible to sell the land to outsiders. ’

It doesn't matter, first of all, the target is to have the will to win the country. The matter of Sado shall be postponed for a while, and it will be said after the political situation of the Japanese State is decided, and then the Japanese National Assembly will agree to it, and the rest will be discussed again after the matter of Sado is decided, if we are rejected,... I ask the saint to give an edict. Li Yining said angrily, she believed that it was not a problem to ask for a holy decree.

In this regard, Lao Liao is not optimistic, although Li Yining is also a protégé of the Son of Heaven, when the Son of Heaven was Fulong, he accepted these students, but now after all, the Son of Heaven is in the ninth fold, where is the holy decree to get.

Li Yining is confident, because this was originally Li Chen's order, and the purpose of her coming to Japan was to buy land, or contract, for Japan's mineral deposits. It doesn't matter if it's a copper mine, a silver mine, or a gold mine.

Li Chen doesn't know what mineral deposits in Datang are to be developed, but Japan has to remember. He knew that Japanese precious metals, whether they were gold, silver, or copper, were very rich. Even during this period, many precious metal mines were developed.

In fact, since he developed the Tang and Japanese trading routes, he had purchased a large amount of sulfur, copper, timber and other resources from Japan, but he was not yet satisfied.

Li Chen remembers the location of some famous gold mountains and silver mountains in Japan, such as the two gold mountains of Kurokawa and Zhongshan in Koshu of the Takeda family, Iwami Silver Mountain, and so on. Thanks to Dark Rong, without them having to vigorously promote, Li Chen would not know.

Li Chen's plan is very simple, he has to look for it slowly in China, and use the Japanese ones first, he can probably know where these big mines are, although he still has to bother to find them slowly. However, it will be simpler than in Datang.

The Japanese get minerals, the quantity is large and the quality is high, there is no pity. There are many mines in Japan, but there are still a large number of high-quality veins that have not yet been discovered. These are his goals. He remembered that for a long time in the future, the Japanese would be very peaceful, even in the Song Dynasty, and the Japanese would serve very respectfully.

In this case, there is no need to use it in vain. The mineral deposits obtained in the Tang Dynasty will be left to future generations to use slowly. It doesn't matter if Japan's is developed now, it will bring a lot of wealth to the Japanese. Even if Datang still dies in the future, it doesn't matter.

The Tang Dynasty is dead, and in the future, Japan's gold and silver will still flow to China, because Japan has no productivity, so it can only continue to buy Tang goods. He was not too worried that the Japanese would invade China because they were rich and strong. First of all, the Japanese did not have the ability to carry large numbers of people across the sea.

Secondly, in modern society, I have heard many examples of exciting development after being rich, for example, in the 21st century, China has developed economically, and all aspects must catch up. In other words, after the first afternoon, he got Japan, received a large amount of reparations, and his ambitions became bigger and bigger.

But these are all modern, or there are positive ideas at the root. But in this era, at least for a few hundred years, a lot of wealth is not necessarily a good thing, the Spaniards, a lot of gold and silver, finally caused domestic inflation, the ruling class indulged in pleasure, a lot of wealth did not bring half of the benefit to the country.

There are also those wild boar skins, after snatching a handful of China, they suddenly became rich, but soon indulged in enjoyment, and their combat power was extremely degraded.

He didn't believe that the Japanese had money and the ability to carry out any industrial revolution, but it was more likely that when they got rich, the ruling class would become corrupt faster, and they would spend a lot of money to buy Tang and Song goods, and as a result, the gold and silver would still flow into China. Like in Spain.

Of course, Li Yining didn't know what Li Chen thought, she just came to Japan to discuss the purchase of the mine according to Li Chen's wishes.

Li Chen has several goals, the first is Sado Island. This island is rich in gold and silver ore resources, and there is Sado Kaneyama, which has the largest gold reserves in Japan. Gold mines are relatively late, silver mines are earlier. Tsuruko Silver Mountain, this is the famous Uesugi family's source of funds during the Warring States period. This is Li Chen's preferred place.

First of all, this is an island. It has been a place of exile in Japan since ancient times, and it is chosen to be exiled here because it is the first place in Japan to welcome winter snowstorms. Don't look at his location is not too northern, but it is relatively western, close to Siberia, so the conditions here are not very good. Since it is a place of exile, it should be relatively easy to obtain.

In addition, because it is an island, it is easy to defend. Although the Japanese are currently very deferential to Datang, they must not be guarded against. Finally, because it is an island, these mineral deposits still have to be transported back to the mainland of Datang, and it is more convenient to ship them by sea. This is also the reason why he chose these places, otherwise Iwami Silver Mountain is also very famous, and the output is not small, but he happens to be in central Japan, which is more troublesome, forget it. Let's choose to be close to the sea first.

In Nagato Province, there is Nagaden Copper Mountain, which is also a big mine, but this copper mountain has been developed a long time ago, and Nara has a famous Big Buddha, which is cast by using the copper ore here. So, it's harder to contract here. Li Chen's condition was that the Changto Diet would receive the same amount of copper as it was mining every year, in addition to a rent.

But they didn't agree. It doesn't matter, if you don't agree, just continue to buy it, because most of the copper ore produced here has already flowed into Datang.

Iyo Province, which is also a major copper mine, Besko Copper Mountain. This copper mountain was discovered in 1690, Yuanlu was discovered in the third year, this mine is a big Japanese chaebol, Sumitomo chaebol has to start a family, of course, now Li Chen is looking at it, and they have nothing to do in the future.

Dewa country, because it is relatively northern, developed relatively late. This is where the Japanese are fighting against shrimp, which is the front line of the indigenous people of Hokkaido. There is an Aren mine here. The copper mine was discovered during the Kanbun period, and after decades of operation, it became the largest copper mine in Japan at that time.

In particular, in addition to the minerals, there are also beautiful women in Dewa, who is said to be the first beautiful woman in Japan, Ono Komachi, who was born in Akita. Also, probably because of the soil and water, the rice here was also quite famous in later generations, although it only grows once a year, but the trees grow slowly, they can grow tall, and the grass grows quickly, but they are very short. In the same way, if you are born slowly, you will taste good.

Satsuma, which many people are familiar with, is located in Kagoshima, the southernmost tip of Japan, and has always been the southern gate of Japan. At the end of the Edo period, the Satsuma clan and other powerful feudal clans launched the War of the Shogunate. There are also two of the three masters at the end of the Bakusai, Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori. Heihachiro Togo, who defeated the Russian fleet, was also born in Kagoshima.

Li Chen didn't come here to collect talents, and he was not familiar with any outstanding people in Japan in this era, because there were gold deposits here, and the reserves were also huge, and because they were discovered relatively late, they have been mined in modern times. Originally, Li Chen thought that this place would be more enlightened and would agree to open the mine, but the result was that he felt that it was the most thorough.

The last one is Izu Country, where the environment is mountainous and less arable land, Li Yining estimates that Izu Mamoru will agree in the end. There is also a large gold mine here, the soil fertilizer gold mountain, the Warring States period is the famous Hojo family territory, relying here, the Hojo family is also a time of scenery, this soil fertilizer gold mountain, but known as the second largest gold mine in Japan, second only to Sado Island to Sado gold mountain. It is also a place where Li Chen must take it down except for Sado Island.

Li Chen is so keen on developing Japan's mineral deposits, in addition to the needs of Datang, he also has an ulterior purpose, that is, to preemptively develop the mineral deposits obtained by the Japanese in the future hundreds of thousands of years later for Datang's use in advance.

To put it more viciously, now that the Japanese have sold and dug up the high-quality mines, if the history does not change much in the future, then the Japanese will have a harder time, because these ore veins were once the foundation of the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese. By digging high-quality ore veins, he has earned a lot of foreign exchange for Japan. Now he has hollowed out hundreds of years in advance, and it will be up to you to take what you will do to the restoration.

It's okay to dig up some high-quality mines here, and there's still something inside, anyway, I'm going to empty you Japan first.

Besides, I don't know if Satsuma Shou saw through Li Chen's sinister intentions, mining, what do you want? Of course, it requires labor, and since ancient times, mining has been a problem for the Chinese rulers, because the miners are more powerful and there are more people. Therefore, most rulers are very cautious about mining and mining, because they are afraid that people with intentions will take the opportunity to gather people to make trouble.

Li Chen also plans to use this set in Japan. I don't know if there will be such a day, but it's good to plan early. If you really want to clean up little Japan one day, you will immediately have a foothold to follow.

Li Yining is very confident in getting the edict. Not only because this is Li Chen's order, Li Chen has ordered a lot of things, but in this matter, she can feel Li Chen's determination, and she has to do it, so she is not worried about it.

Li Chen still cares about a lot of things, for example, now that it has been recovered under the city of Yuanzhou, the left army of Shence will send troops, after this period of training, Xiaohu feels that their training is enough, and the materials in the later stage have also caught up, so they decided to send troops,

When the troops entered Hahuang, they first set out from Wonju, and the goal was Huiju. This is a city on the edge of the Yellow River, and they will first regain it, spend the winter there, stock up supplies, and the next spring will regain the whole river in one fell swoop.

However, just as modern people say that the plan does not change quickly, the ancients said that there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, or the art of war said that soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent. Originally, it was intended to be recovered by Huizhou, and a few more variables were added. (To be continued.) )
