Chapter 144 It's All About Money!

Looking at Fang Zhonglin's longing eyes, what reason did Wang Ze have to refuse such a young man who was dedicated to exploring the unknown world. So Wang Ze nodded to Fang Zhonglin and said, "Seeing that you want to go so much, I will promise you, if there are students who are willing to go with you, you are responsible for selecting them!" ”

"WhewΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Before Wang Ze's words fell, the students around him who were listening attentively cheered happily one by one. These fifteen or sixteen-year-old children are now full of 'spirit' and curiosity, and they always have a lot of time to explore new things, not to mention that Jumu Island is also a place that Mr. Wang Ze has personally explained.

Looking at the cheering students in front of him, Wang Ze said with a faint joke: "It's no problem for everyone to go to Jumu Island, but the number of people you go to is limited to less than thirty, and you have to pass a certain physical fitness test, and those who can't pass are not allowed to go!" ”

As soon as Wang Ze finished talking about his conditions, the students who were still cheering just now immediately became sad. These students are not afraid of the physical test, because these students who have been cultivated in the cottage since the fourth year of Tianbao are all going to learn martial arts, so their physical fitness is very good, and they are really delicious!

But what makes these students embarrassed is that Wang Ze limits the number of people to no more than 30, and everyone wants to go, so the competition is a bit big.

At the critical moment, Fang Zhonglin 'stood up' and debuted: "Since this trip to Jumu Island belongs to the category of geography, you civil engineering and mechanical colleges don't go to join in the fun, and you have to go to the factory to practice during the holidays!" The students of the Faculty of Science are going to go and tell their respective husbands before they can sign up with me! ”

Although the students of the Civil Engineering and Mechanical Colleges were a little depressed when they were rejected, the students of the two colleges had to be pulled down by Tan Carpenter and Cao Lei to practice in their respective workshops during the holidays, so although they were a little depressed, they were not very sad, so they began to cheer up the students of the School of Science.

There are more than 200 students in the Faculty of Science, but these students belong to nearly twenty teachers, and not all of them are willing to let these students brave the dangers of the sea storms in the summer to explore Jumu Island.

Just when Wang Ze was smiling and watching the students of the School of Science compete for the quota in the group, suddenly Guo Erlang, who is currently Wang Ze's 'guard', strode in, "Little Hou Ye, the sheep stayed behind and came from Changzhou!" I'm waiting outside the auditorium right now! ”

Is the sheep withered? Didn't he settle tens of thousands of newly relocated immigrants in ChōshΕ«? Why did you have time to run over? Thinking of this, Wang Ze tidied up the clothes on his body and said to Guo Erlang: "Let's go, go out and have a look!" ”

As soon as I got out of the 'door', I saw Yang Ku standing under a big tree more than ten meters outside the auditorium, but the clothes on his body looked a little weird, isn't this the dress worn by the civil officials of the Han Dynasty seen in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

A black gauze crown, full body Xuanyi, it does look very majestic, I don't know where the sheep wither came out of such a retro dress, but it's okay in winter, it's just that it's hot in summer, and I don't know how the sheep withered can endure the heat.

Wang Ze couldn't help but smile and asked Yang Ku: "Mr. Yang, where did you get this official uniform?" I haven't seen you through it before! ”

Seeing that Wang Ze was 'quite curious' about his clothes, Yang Ku also put aside his own affairs for the time being, and said with a smile: "Since Xiahou Dingding in the East China Sea, although it has not yet been officially established, it is still a country, but we have never had our own official uniforms.

The generals all have armor configured in the cottage, and they can also be used as official uniforms for the time being, but our civil officials have always wanted to wear what they want, and there is no fixed number, considering the long-term plan of the little marquis to revitalize China, so I discussed with Fan Junshou, Zhuo Junshou and others to temporarily use the official uniforms of the Han Dynasty! ”

Wang Ze also appreciates the official uniforms of the Han Dynasty for Yang Ku and others, the prestige of the Han officials! Just don't 'get heat stroke or something' to a few people under your own command, then things will be in big trouble.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, aren't you settling down in Changzhou and Qinjin for those immigrants? Why did you suddenly come to Jeju Island? Wang Ze dragged the sheep to the shade of a large tree near the pond, and the breeze swept over the pond with some moisture, which made the two of them feel much more comfortable.

As soon as Wang Ze mentioned the situation in the Wa Kingdom, Yang Ku remembered the purpose of his coming, and he said with a smile: "Jeju Island was attacked by Xiao Yu for such a big thing, how could I not come to take a look!" I don't know how the little marquis will deal with Xiao Yu and Xiao Yin? ”

"After all, Xiao Yin is the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, and he is still young, Xiao Yu's army is not something he can command, let him go to school with the children in the school! Xiao Yu is the culprit this time, but now that more than 20,000 people have been captured from him, if Xiao Yu is killed, these people will not be at peace in their hearts, so let's detain Xiao Yu for the time being! I have to make him suffer a little! ”

As soon as Xiao Yu and Wang Ze were mentioned, this guy didn't think that the two families were Han people, and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy his foundation in the East China Sea, so that the militia people on Jeju Island would be killed and injured by hundreds of people.

In fact, Wang Ze didn't know that through this war, Baekje and Silla really began to fear Wang Ze, but it was not the regular army under Wang Ze that really silenced Baekje and Silla, but the Jeju Island militia that performed well in this battle.

Through this battle, Baekje and Silla found that the militia under Wang Ze could confront a group of 'elite' troops like Xiao Yu, if they added a more powerful regular army, how could they resist it!

So after a friendly military visit with Du Sheng and Cho An and Yoo Manseong with their troops and the Baekje people a few days ago, the fighting between the Baekje and the Silla people quietly stopped. It's just that now Baekje has not only regained the territory taken by Silla, but also occupied more than a dozen cities in Silla, making it impossible for the two sides to form an alliance for the time being.

It's just that Wang Ze, who is in a good mood, doesn't bother to deal with Baekje and Silla now, and he is most concerned about the battle in the Wa Kingdom now: "Mr. Yang, everything is okay in Changzhou?" Wang Ze asked as he plucked a willow leaf and pinched it into small pieces boringly.

"Although the little marquis can rest assured, even if only General Zheng and Captain Han led the troops to resist Su and I used virtue, we could fight on a par with the Japanese country, and now General Jiang's army of more than 10,000 tiger battalions and nearly 20,000 people from the blue wolf battalion have arrived at the front line and are divided into two ways to attack, and An Yi's side is fine, and now the entire Iwami country is our territory! Even Izumo has been occupied by almost half of it! ”

"Iwami Kuniquan has been defeated?" Wang Ze immediately asked in surprise, as long as Iwami is knocked down, then this Iwami silver mine, which has very high reserves and taste, can be mined on a large scale.

Seeing Wang Ze's surprised expression, Yang Wei was also secretly proud, this is also a merit! He stroked his long beard with a smile and said to Wang Ze: "Now I have asked Dean Tan to arrange for people to build the port along the coast of Iwami Province, and it will be convenient to go to Hidden Kirishima (Hidden Islands) after occupying Izumo Province!" ”

Saying that, Yang Ku asked the few young men who accompanied him to open the boxes they brought, and they were all gold and silver coins stamped out of gold and silver respectively!

Wang Ze carefully checked the gold coin in his hand, the gold coin is not big but very heavy, the 'flower' pattern on it is very 'fine' and clear, the front pattern is the appearance of Huaxia Xia Ding, the back is a galleon that is sailing, and there is a circle of gears on the outermost part of the gold coin, which is used to prevent someone from cutting precious metals.

After reading the gold coins and then looking at the similar style of the silver coins, Wang Ze said happily: "Mr. Yang, how do you consider the exchange of this gold and silver coins?" ”

Yang Ku still smiled and said: "This gold coin was originally made to be one or two pieces, but the proportion of this gold is very large, and the gold coin is too small and easy to wear, so we simply made a gold coin and a pound of gold, and the silver coin weighs one tael, and one gold coin has to be exchanged for a hundred silver coins!" ”

"Mr. Yang, in this way, gold coins can meet the needs of large-scale trade, and silver coins can meet the needs of everyone's rich and noble families, but most of the people use copper coins the most on weekdays, how much have you minted this copper coin?"

Before Wang Ze's words fell, he saw Yang Ku open the silver coins in the box, and 'revealed' the copper coins below, and the newly minted copper coins were still shining, which was 'tempting' and 'confusing' people's hearts.

Didn't Shakespeare say, 'The most beautiful music in the world is the sound of gold coins colliding in your pocket'? Wang Ze thought to himself, 'It seems that we have also been completely corrupted by this dark old society!' ’

"How can these coins be exchanged for gold and silver coins?" Wang Ze pulled the copper coins in the box, in the hot summer, the copper coins hidden in the box were still relatively cool, and they felt great to touch.

Yang Ku put a gold coin, a silver coin, and a copper coin in his hand, and then stretched out in front of Wang Ze and explained carefully: "Little Hou Ye, you see, this copper coin is a coin, but there is only seventy percent of the copper content in it, but because of our good craftsmanship, the people are willing to ask for red copper!" ”

After speaking, he pointed to the silver coin: "The silver content of the silver coin is eighty-five, but we are also trading outward according to the full silver, and now many maritime merchants in the East China Sea are willing to accept our silver coins." A silver coin can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, that is, consistently, if it is in the Central Plains, one or two silver can be exchanged for 1,200 to 1,500 copper coins! ”

At this point, Yang Ku threw the coins in his hand back into their respective boxes and said no more, and he was almost done with what he had to say.

"I don't know what it's like to sleep on a 'bed' made of all gold!" Wang Ze really carried away with money at this meeting, and his mind was full of gold and silver.

I don't know how long it took for Wang Ze to return to normal, looking at the sheep withered in the distance, Wang Ze picked up a silver coin and asked the sheep: "Mr. Yang, how much gold and silver can be produced by the gold mines of Iwami Silver Mountain and Hidden Kirishima now?" ”

Yang Ku said: "Now because everything is still in the grass, so at present, Iwami Silver Mountain can only produce less than 100 catties of silver every day, if you wait for large-scale mining in the future, I am afraid that you can smelt thousands of catties of silver in a day!" As for the gold mine in Hidden Kirishim, there is no large-scale mining due to manpower problems, but it is also a rare large gold mine in terms of reserves! ”

"Okay, good," Wang Zele rubbed his hands together, "Now it's okay, we have money, as long as we have money, it won't be difficult to solve the problem of Fan Junshou!" ”

Hearing Wang Ze's muttering, Yang Ku said suspiciously: "Little Marquis, is there any trouble with Fan Junshou?" I didn't hear him say it before!"

Looking at Yang Ku's suspicious look, Wang Ze smiled and talked to Yang Ku in detail about the past few days, now the main thing on the island has become a child, if you can't solve this problem well, there will be big trouble in the future!

"It's really a big problem to ignore!" After listening to Wang Ze's speech, Yang Ku also pulled his beard to think of ideas, but he didn't think of a good idea after cutting off more than a dozen of his beards.
