Li Zhichun has always been unable to see Li Zhirong's younger brother, including the other Li Zhiguang, who is relying on his father's prestige to do evil everywhere, but his ability is not necessarily good.

Li Zhichun couldn't directly expose his younger brother, so he said:

"The child has heard a lot about Sado Island this time, I heard that the people of the Jin country also made a meteor bomb, but the meteor bomb of the Great Song Dynasty is not a grade, the warships of the Jin country have fought with pirates many times, I heard that they have returned with a feather every time, and a few times they have been robbed of the warship by pirates, the people of the Jin country can't make meteor bullets by themselves, we may not have too many illusions, I hope that the craftsmen of the Jin country can help us create any powerful meteor bullets, I am afraid it is very slim."

"How can you grow up the ambition of others! Maybe we'll be able to make a good meteor bomb! Li Zhirong forced himself to speak.

"Brother Rong, in today's naval warfare, the most powerful thing is not the meteor bomb, I heard that the flying torpedo is the most terrifying, I went to Sado Island this time, and I heard the Japanese say that it was the pirates who used the flying torpedoes at that time, and the Japanese would be pressed by the pirates. It is said that this flying torpedo is extremely magical, moving in the sea like flying, pointing and hitting wherever it is, and the power is very amazing, no matter how big the ship, after being hit by the flying torpedo, all the ships are destroyed and killed. "The magical power of flying torpedoes may be unknown to many Koreans, but in Japan it is spread to the gods, Li Zhichun went to Sado Island, naturally he has heard a lot.

Dare to love is really a flying torpedo! The matter of flying torpedoes was actually not without rumors before, but rumors are rumors after all, and now they are said by Li Zhichun's mouth, and the source is the Japanese who were scared by the flying torpedoes.

Seeing that Li Zhirong didn't speak hard anymore, Li Zhichun turned his head and said to his father:

"Father, I heard rumors from the Japanese that the backstage behind the pirates is the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is not the Great Song Dynasty, at least Han Yanxuan will not be able to get rid of suspicion, and even the King of the East China Sea and Xin Qiji may also be involved, the Great Song Dynasty has gained a lot of benefits this time, I am afraid that the next step will be to target our Goryeo."

"Are you saying that the so-called Fu pirates are just a pawn of the Song people, or even an excuse at all? In this way, the Song people are bound to Jeju Island. "Li Yimin can control the government of Goryeo, of course he will not be a fool, this section can naturally be thought of.

"That's probably the case."

"Humph! My dignified Goryeo is no better than the Japanese barbarians, and the Song people can shout to catch thieves and bully the Japanese, but if you want to coerce me into submission to Goryeo, it is a big mistake. Hum! Let's dream of autumn! It was Li Zhiguang who spoke, Li Zhiguang showed a look of disdain, and even ridiculed: "The Japanese are all a bunch of soft bones, and only those stupid people will sign the kind of "Xia Treaty" that humiliates the country. ”

This Li Zhiguang has always been above the top, Li Yimin frowned, very dissatisfied with this son talking like this, according to this kid, if he signed a similar treaty, wouldn't he have become a soft bone!

Li Zhichun doesn't like this younger brother either, his younger brother belongs to a typical gentleman, he is ambitious and talented, arrogant and domineering outside, and he does a lot of bad things. At that moment, Li Zhichun said:

"I was on Sado Island this time, and I also found out some other inside stories, in fact, the Japanese did not necessarily suffer very much, and the Song people did not have to kill them all, such as providing sweet potato seeds to Japan, this sweet potato is said to yield seven or eight stones per mu, and Japan has many mountains and little land, with this sweet potato, it can feed more people. There is also one of the most affordable things, I heard that the Song people sent a group of mining and metallurgical masters to help Japan excavate silver mines, smelting gold and silver, the Japanese also confirmed that the Song people are highly skilled in mining and smelting silver, it is said that since the Song people arrived in Japan, relying on the original Japanese silver mountain, they can smelt more than 2,000 taels of silver in a day, 2,000 taels a day, and more than 700,000 taels a year, even if the Japanese pay 500,000 taels to the Song people, they can get more than 200,000 taels a year, remove the cost, at least 100,000 taels are more than 100,000 taels for no reason, It can be seen that the Japanese not only did not suffer a loss, but also took advantage. ”

"Is that really the case?" Li Yimin heard that the Song people also helped the Japanese imperial family and the Liancang shogunate to generate income, well, the Song people took advantage and did not let the Japanese suffer, is it true! In that case, it seems that betraying the country is not necessarily a bad thing, Li Yimin suddenly became interested.

It is said that a pile of waste ore abandoned by the Japanese can be smelted into silver in the hands of the Song people, and the legendary stone into gold is nothing more than that. In addition, the Song people's ability to dig mines is also said to be miraculous. The Japanese are very convinced of this, and I have also asked the Song people for confirmation of this matter, and there is absolutely no falsehood in this matter. ”

Li Zhichun said that it is indeed true.

Historically, the Han people mastered the technique of smelting silver by soot blowing at a very early age, which is the credit of alchemists. Some say that the "soot blowing method" can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and some say that it began in the Tang Dynasty - the Tang Dynasty worshiped the Tao, and alchemy prevailed, in addition to refining the elixir of immortality, it was to practice "alchemy", of which the "soot blowing method" is the "stone into gold" Tao boasted by alchemists.

The sootblowing method is actually a process of separating lead and silver. In view of the fact that the silver content of silver ore is generally very low, the key to the technology of silver refining is how to enrich the silver. Since lead and silver are completely miscible and have a low melting point, alchemists in the Tang Dynasty added lead when refining silver, so that the silver in the ore was dissolved in lead and silver enrichment was realized. Then air is blown to oxidize the lead, which is oxidized into a "honey monk", some of which is blown away when the wind blows, and most of it melts (melting point 88oC) and seeps into the ash pool, leaving the silver on the ash, and this is how the "soot blowing method" separates the silver.

In real history, the Japanese did not master the "soot blowing method" until the Ming Dynasty, and it was introduced to Japan through Korea, and after the "soot blowing method" was introduced to Japan, Japan's annual silver production suddenly increased by 40 tons.

In this time and space, the traverser only introduced the "soot blowing method" to Japan two or three hundred years earlier (of course, the current technology is still in the hands of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty in Japan), so in the eyes of the Japanese, a pile of stones in Iwami (Silver Mountain) can be turned into gold and silver in the hands of the Song people, which is really a tall smelting technique, well, it is simply the legendary "turning stones into gold" magic skill.

The Japanese emperor of this time and space is actually very poor, and the shogunate is not rich, so the traveler has to fight the idea of Japanese resources, this kind of alchemy of turning waste into treasure is completely a gesture, and the Japanese emperor and the shogunate are very happy, so the "Xia Treaty" is actually a masterpiece of beating a stick to a sweet date.

Li Zhichun went to Sado Island this time, felt that the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was growing rapidly, and he really didn't want to be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and was fooled by Wen Yuan and Cai Jianwen on the return trip, and felt that it was not impossible to reach a treaty with the Great Song Dynasty, and even to build a special zone together, at least they could bargain with the Song people, maybe they would not necessarily suffer losses, and maybe they could also get some benefits.

Of course, Li Yimin's consideration will not be so simple, after all, Goryeo is different from Japan, Japan is surrounded by the sea, Japan's three islands are also separated by the sea, Goryeo is a peninsula, backed by the powerful Jin State, far from the point of exhaustion.

"You all go down, let me think!"

Li Yimin has always been freewheeling and arbitrary in the court, but at this time he was a little difficult, pacing in the room, thinking in his heart:

"It is naturally very difficult to defend Jeju Island, and if the Song people still let pirates plague Goryeo as they did against Japan, there is no need to consider aiding Jeju from the sea, and there is no chance of winning a war at sea. It is clear that confrontation has no future. But if Tamna is allowed to restore the country in Jeju like this, it will be really unwilling, and then the traitorous hat will be put on his head, and his reputation will be damaged, and those opponents who are watching the power may have to take advantage of the opportunity. Compromise with Da Song may be able to get some benefits from Da Song, but whether he can still be on stage and whether he can enjoy these benefits is another matter. ”

Li Yimin is very entangled, is it war or peace? It seems that you can't fight, and you can't make peace, it's difficult!

Since it is a hot potato, Li Yimin simply adheres to a "procrastination trick" and avoids Wen Yuan and Cai Jianwen.

Wen Yuan and Cai Jianwen are not professional diplomats after all, one is a great Song Wenqing, and the other is a businessman, it must be said that they are still very accomplished in their professional fields, and during their stay in Goryeo, the two of them are still remarkable in their professional fields.

For example, Wen Yuan was warmly sought after by the Goryeo royal family and a group of Wenchen, and the princes and princesses of Goryeo were enthusiastic star chasers, in this era, Goryeo did not have its own writing, but common Chinese characters, so Wen Yuan's novels in Goryeo were no less popular than in the Great Song Dynasty, plus Wen Yuan was articulate and dealt with appropriately in one Goryeo fan meeting after another, such as answering "punctuation" and "why write in the vernacular", and other aspects, the commentary was funny, which won higher praise.

Since last year, "pirates" have been rampant along the coast of North Korea, and the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone, cannot be transported to Goryeo in time, resulting in a shortage of fashion goods in the Great Song Dynasty of Goryeo.

It is a pity that Wen Yuan and Cai Jianwen have a feeling that they are completely incompetent for this diplomatic mission.

Under the advice of a group of dovish courtiers, Myeongjong of Goryeo wanted to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty, but without Li Yimin's statement, the king of Goryeo could not advance this matter. Besides, the emperor himself was a little melancholy, after all, no one wanted to insult the ancestors of the Goryeo Dynasty. Therefore, the matter of communication with the Great Song on Jeju Island is hanging like this, and there is no follow-up.

When the clerk and Cai Jianwen came to Sakhalin Island very depressed to report to Mao Geng, Mao Geng couldn't help but sigh, after all, he is not a professional in diplomacy, and this Li Yimin is really a dead stick! Such a difficult task is not something that these two men can do, and it is not surprising that this diplomatic setback has been achieved. Well, the government-in-exile of later generations, there are many people who have been in exile for n years and cannot return to the country, and the "Fu family" of Tamna should also have enough patience
