0302 Adding fuel to the fire (2nd shift)
The last stop of Wenyi's trip is Treasure Island.
This island is really blessed, and the whole is in an irregular 'gong' shape. There are two mountains on both sides, and a fertile plain in between.
The mountains on both sides are natural city walls, and the enemy can only go to the left and right sides if they want to attack here, and the Tang Kingdom only needs to build a fortress on the left and right.
It can not only block the enemy's attack, but also prevent the slaves from escaping.
Watching the slaves being driven into the mine in shackles, Wen Yi felt very comfortable.
In their previous lives, their descendants treated the Chinese like this, and in the face of bloody evidence, they actually denied the crimes they committed.
Now I just want to take precautions and nip the danger in the bud.
What? Are they innocent?
Hehe, people who think so, first go to the Nine Springs and ask the innocent and tragic Chinese ancestors, if they are willing to forgive these people.
Garrisoned on the island was Daniel Zhang's brigade, and Wen Yi told him: "Don't just focus on mining, there is fertile land here, and a part of the slaves will be allocated to farm." ”
Daniel Zhang said: "Yes, I have already planned to reclaim a part of the land to complete food self-sufficiency. Water conservancy was then built, and a reservoir was planned to regulate the water resources. ”
Wen Yi nodded with satisfaction, it would be too wasteful to just treat this place as a mining area. If it is well developed, it can feed 30,000 or 40,000 people purely on agriculture.
Coupled with the unique geographical location, it will become another forward base for the Tang State to attack the Japanese slave country.
But this is all a plan for the future, and for the time being, it is still mainly about mining gold and silver, and the land is only reclaimed to meet its own needs and reduce the logistical pressure.
He called Daniel Zhang aside and said in a low voice: "Slaves have never seen hope and will give up their desire to live, and when they encounter this situation, they will directly kill everyone and replace a new batch of slaves." ”
"It is better not to allow new slaves and old slaves to meet, to avoid the widespread spread of this desperate thought."
"The corpses are all burned, and there must be no trace left, let alone any written record, do you know what I mean?"
Daniel Zhang looked grim and said, "Don't worry, the king doesn't worry, nothing has happened on this island. ”
Wen Yi patted him on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Yes, you haven't followed me for so many years." ”
"I'm not just doing this for the sake of our posthumous name, but also for the sake of making the Mao and the Japanese completely disappear from this world."
"In the future, if I have the world, I will delete all records of them...... There will be no Unon and Mao people in the history books. ”
"In the new history books, this island, like Luzon, is inhabited by a group of natives who live a primitive and ignorant life......"
"We brought them the spark of civilization and helped them overthrow the ...... of the powerful who oppressed them"
"They admired the splendor of our Chinese civilization and volunteered to join and become a part of us. There is no slave trade, no killing. ”
Daniel Zhang couldn't help but shudder, ruthless, more ruthless than he imagined, even the traces of existence had to be erased.
If this happens to you...... He couldn't help but feel fear just thinking about it.
The king is too ruthless.
But doubts arose in my heart, the king is very merciful. Let's not talk about how good it is for the Han people, and treat all ethnic groups equally.
It is assimilation to the slang people and the Ryukyuan people.
Although the methods against the Luzon were ruthless, they killed the chiefs and magnates, and the common people were mainly conquered and assimilated.
Even the alien races in the northern grasslands are mainly assimilated, which can be seen from "Chinese Civilization".
In this book, the northern alien race is also a branch of Huaxia, apparently in preparation for later assimilation.
Only for the Mao and the Japanese slaves, there is no idea of assimilation, and the purpose is to exterminate the clan.
Not only will their race be wiped out, but even their existence will be erased.
It's not a matter of hate, it's only hateful that we do.
But I haven't heard that the king has anything to do with the people of these two races.
I don't understand.
But he didn't dare to ask more, in case there was any secret involved, and if he asked, he would be asking for trouble.
Anyway, there is no opinion in the whole country, we are just a martial artist who doesn't understand anything, just follow orders and complete the task.
After taking a turn here and learning more about the situation in the Japanese slave country and the Mao people's country, Wen Yi found some places that could be operated.
"There are a lot of gold and silver mines on the Unu Island, and there are also a lot of copper mines, and the Mao people only master the simple smelting technology, and the smelting technology of the Uno country is also very backward......"
"They guard the mountains of gold, silver, and copper, but they don't know how to mine, which is really tyrannical."
"That's ...... Teach them the techniques of prospecting, mining and smelting, let them mine gold, silver and copper, and we will exchange them for goods. ”
He Fang hesitated and said, "This ...... If they master advanced mining and smelting technology, they will be able to make iron on a large scale, and I am afraid that it will eat against us. ”
Wen Yi shook his head and said: "What are you afraid of, just teach them the simplest technique of smelting gold, silver and copper, as long as they can initially extract gold, silver and copper." ”
"And they won't use them against us when they have weapons, but will first do it to their own people, trying to eliminate each other and expand their own power."
"Those forces that do not have gold, silver and copper mines in their territories will not sit idly by, they will go to rob other people's gold and silver mines."
"At that point, these gold and silver mines will be turned into bait and they will be caught up in a protracted cannibalism...... In that case, do we need to worry that they will come back to us? ”
He Fang was still a little hesitant: "I'm afraid of everything." ”
Wen Yi understood his thoughts, but he didn't explain more, but said: "You can do it with confidence, don't say that they won't fight back, even if you really dare to do this, I have a way to suppress them easily." ”
He Fang was still skeptical, but he also knew that he had many means, and seeing what he said, he definitely didn't insist, and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to do it." ”
The Tang Kingdom needed a large amount of gold and silver to complete the monopoly of regional currency, and it was still difficult to rely on the output of Treasure Island.
The territory of the Japanese slave country is rich in gold, silver and copper, but there is no way for the Tang State to send people to mine it in a short time.
It is better to let the Unu and Mao people mine it themselves, and then he will exchange the gold and silver for the goods.
The people of the Tang State were also able to reap a lot of benefits from this trade - for example, the cloth trade, the official collected cloth from the people and sold it to the Japanese slaves, and the people had an additional income.
The most important thing is that the gold, silver and copper mines are the source of war, leading the Mao people and the Japanese slaves to kill each other and accelerate their demise.
As for whether the Japanese slaves will use the mined gold and silver to buy supplies, restore their national strength and then attack the Tang State, this kind of thing cannot happen.
Just think of the warlords of the Republic of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the money looted was either used to buy weapons to kill each other, or to buy luxury goods for their own enjoyment.
How many buy production lines for the development of industry?
Ancient and modern China and foreign countries are the same, and the Japanese slave country is now divided into more than 30 forces, and it is even more impossible to unite and develop itself.
They will only buy the gold, silver and copper they dig up into luxury goods and weapons.
In case the Japanese slave people really suddenly awaken en masse...... If they really awakened, it didn't make much difference whether they had the smelting techniques that Wen Yi had taught them.
At that time, what Wen Yi should do is to directly pull out the firearms and wash the island with iron and fire.
