Although the country is an island country, there are not many fertile fields in the border, and there are fierce beast forests everywhere, but there are a lot of gold deposits. In the trade between the Wa Kingdom and Samhan and Goguryeo, gold became the main 'trade' currency of the Wa Kingdom. With this gold, the Japanese procured enough food and daily necessities for their survival.

The Japanese people's love for gold can be seen in the way they dress. The last time I visited, Taro Fujiwara and his 'attendants' were all jeweled. Even the lowliest 'squire' had a few taels of gold on them. It was precisely when Liu Ba saw this that he made a suggestion to Li Hui.

Liu Badao: The Japanese have a lot of gold, and we are short of money now, why don't you plunder the Japanese people to mine our gold, this can not only achieve the goal of requisition, but also provide us with a steady stream of financial support, which is extremely beneficial to the future!

Li Hui thought about it for a while, and glanced at Liu Ba again: Mr. is really meticulous, I originally planned to slaughter all these monkeys of the Japanese Kingdom, but this is not a good way! It's just that if you want to mine the yellow turbans, you have to take care of the Japanese people, and you need a large number of troops to stay on the island, and now we have a vast area, although there are many soldiers, it is also difficult to defend, and in the left Japanese country, will it have an impact on some of our activities on the mainland?

Mi Zhu smiled and said: The lord doesn't have to worry about this matter, we can transfer the gold mine to the 'private' people, as long as we hand over the gold to us every year, we don't need to take care of these people, these people will find a way to solve it, and at the same time, we can also make money by transporting food, tools, etc. to the country, and we can also make money, come and go, not only the gold is mined, but also a lot of income!

Li Hui nodded: This is a good way, but I am still a little worried that transferring it to a 'private' person will be contrary to our practice of collecting all the land, and will it cause unnecessary trouble in our territory?

Mi Zhu said: Transfer, not selling, we only transfer these gold mining rights, the land is still in the name of the lord, if the lord feels that these gold mining people have too much money, we can put the largest, the best gold mine in our hands, in addition every few years we re-transfer, so that different people can enjoy this kind of treatment, everyone has money, and nothing will happen!

Li Hui smiled: The eldest brother is really a businessman, this suggestion is good, you can draw up this matter with Mr. Liu, I will not 'interfere', and you will be considered a great credit after the matter is completed! Our part of the gold mine, I think let Mi Fang go! It's not good to have nothing to do all these years!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone was enjoying the festive atmosphere, an announcement was issued in the name of the General's Mansion that shocked the entire Hebei, Central Plains and Saishang. The announcement stated that after Li Hui conquered the Japanese state, he would transfer the gold mines of the Japanese state to the 'private' people, and if anyone had such intentions, he could report to the local government, and the public bidding would begin in Changshan on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The amount of gold paid to the government treasury each year is the basis for winning the bid.

In the last article of the announcement on this side, it is indicated that all officials and all people within the nine clans are not allowed to participate. This article was set by Lu Su, who believed that since he was an official, he had to absolutely disconnect from money, and if he wanted to make money, it was best not to be an official. This is also the foundation of the official. This article is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This matter aroused a lot of interest, and some businessmen who developed in the early days signed up. For a time, merchants from the entire Hebei and Central Plains flocked to Changshan. They had no doubts about whether Li Hui would be able to capture the Japanese state, but constantly tested whether the opponent would offer a higher price.

For a time, the wealthy merchants of Changshan gathered, 'spending' money like flowing water, and did not hesitate to light up every night, becoming the only city that never sleeps in the entire Han Dynasty. On the Wangyun Tower, the largest restaurant, several wealthy businessmen are fighting there. One of them was short and fat and said: This time, I have won, I have already found out, the best gold mine in the country is Yamatai, where there is not only a lot of gold, but also pure, hehe, none of you want to rob me, I am ready to give so much! The man stretched out a finger.

One thousand taels? Another asked.

The man laughed twice: 10,000 taels!

And all the people stuck out their tongues. What is the concept of ten thousand taels of gold, the Han people call one catty sixteen taels, and one catty is about 600 grams. 10,000 taels is about 370 kilograms. Who has seen more than 370 kilograms of yellow scarves, and I am afraid there are not many people in the world!

The short and fat merchant finished, looked at everyone's surprised eyes, smiled and sat in his seat and drank tea. Someone asked: Brother Ren, this 10,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, even if the gold mine is good, in addition to consumption and consumption, it may not be able to mine so much gold!

The Humpty Dumpty merchant looked around, lowered his voice and whispered, "You don't know yet, do you?" I have heard that the general is doing this time without capital, and he does not plan to use us Han people to mine, and will 'hand' the captives to us for free use, as long as they don't die, they are even our slaves, so the cost is very low!

Oh\\! Only then did everyone suddenly realize: What about me, Brother Ren is so sure, these widows are too bad, and in the past, they always 'disturbed' the fishermen around us, so it's not bad for them to taste it!

Right! I am from Qingzhou, and I used to be always angry with these monkeys, and it was too cheap to kill them with a knife, so it was the best choice to let us mine gold! A young man stood up and said: If the general agrees with my declaration, I am willing to donate all the output value!

With that, the conversation shifted from gold mining to the hatred of the Tawa people. Before Li Hui's navy was not on a large scale, the north was from Youzhou, Xuzhou, and even Yangzhou were more or less swept by the Japanese sisters. These local people hate the Japanese people. Speaking out is also the most relieving hatred.

A Jizhou humanitarian: The Japanese people are all immature wolves, so they can't have a good face, let them work until they die, until they cut off their children and grandchildren, and they can also save our Han from trouble!

Another Xuzhou human: all the men go to mining, but what about the 'women'? I've heard that all the 'women' in the Japanese country are very good at serving men! Brothers, if any of them goes to the Wa Kingdom, will they 'get' some 'women' from the Wa Kingdom to come back and have fun?

Hahaha\\ Everyone laughed very loudly. A lot of people are already excited.

In the past few days, the businessmen have talked about it and introduced it to Li Hui. Li Hui smiled and said: Is everyone's enthusiasm very high? But I don't approve of the practice of giving all the proceeds, we are all businessmen, we need some profits, and we are not poor to that point, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first month, I would love to see what we are like rich people!
