Lao Cui and the others commanded a few soldiers who surrendered and begged for mercy to clean up the corpses.

And Tang Ping sat in the carriage face to face with the eldest brother of the mountain.

Tang Ping said indifferently: "I'm just an ordinary businessman, and the alliance between the prince of the mountain and me won't help you much." ”

"Impossible!" The eldest brother of the mountainback shook his head: "Although I don't know your specific identity, you will definitely not be an ordinary businessman. ”

"The big stone you blew up on the river yesterday should be the gunpowder used in the rumored Tang Shenwei cannon, right?"

"Ordinary businessmen can't get their hands on gunpowder, which is only rumored to exist in various countries!"

The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang Ping, looked at Tang Ping deadly: "Although my brain sometimes can't turn around, I know that you are definitely a capable Tang Dynasty, so I want to form an alliance with you." ”

"And then? What are you going to do if you make an alliance with me? And what are your chips? ”

"I want to be the emperor!" The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang Bei, said categorically: "I need you to help me become the emperor, not an emperor like Emperor Shuming, but an emperor like His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Tang Ping touched his chin: "Your request...... It's too difficult, isn't it? ”

"But as you say, aren't you a businessman? Usually I have to pay for your food, I have to pay for your place, and I have to pay for renting you. ”

"In that case, you can make an offer!"

This mountainback brother said that he was stupid, he was really stupid sometimes, but sometimes he always seemed to see something different.

"If you make a price, ......" Tang Ping thought for a while: "It's really hard to open!" ”

He looked out the window at Mt. Sado and asked, "Is it okay if I want Mt. Sado?" ”

"Why Mt. Sado?" The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang was a little puzzled: "Do you really like collecting mountains so much?" ”

"Haven't you ever wondered why those tomb robbers are hiding in Mt. Sado?" Tang Ping asked.

"Aren't they for those girls?"

Tang Ping rubbed his head, this guy seemed to ...... It's starting to be less clever again.

So he told the story of the gold mine in Mt. Sado, as well as the collusion between the tomb robbers and the lord of Niigata County.

"What? There are so many things I don't know? "The king of the mountainback brother was a little stunned.

"So if I want Mt. Sado, are you willing to give it to me too?" Tang Ping asked again.

"Gold mines...... "The eldest brother king on the back of the mountain looked at the Sado Mountain outside, who would have thought that there would be gold mines inside the ordinary mountain?

"I do!" In the end, the eldest brother of the mountain back still nodded and said, which made Tang Ping stunned.

"Gold mine, with gold mine you can recruit troops and buy weapons, you should know that to become the emperor, the only condition is actually fists."

"The Su My Clan was able to support Emperor Shu Ming to ascend the throne, but Mo Lishi, who supported you, died unexpectedly, because the Su My Clan's fist was bigger!"

"I know." The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang nodded honestly: "But didn't you say it?" With our current mining technology in Fuso, it is difficult to mine on a large scale. Then these gold mines are no different from stones in the mountains. ”

"And I promised to give you Mt. Sado, and in order to support me to become the emperor, you will spend money to recruit troops and buy weapons for me, so isn't it the same as me digging up the gold mine?"

Tang Ping looked at the honest mountain-backed big brother Wang, and he really didn't know if he was stupid or fake.

"Okay!" Tang Ping sat up straight and said solemnly: "I will find a way to support you to sit in the position of emperor, and you will give me the mining rights of Sado Mountain and Iwami Mountain for fifty years." ”

"Iwamiyama? Iwamiyama also has gold? The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang, looked surprised: "So when you first said Iwamiyama, you had the idea of fighting?" ”

"Listen to me and finish the conditions first." Tang Ping glared at him: "Iwami Mountain has no gold, but there is silver, or that sentence, you yourself don't have the ability to mine." ”

This is really not Tang Ping's lie to fool him, Fusang lacks iron, think about it, how can it have the ability to mine minerals on a large scale when even the iron weapons in the army are scarce?

The mining of Iwami Silver Mine and Sado Gold Mine was not until seven or eight hundred years later.

"We can take care of the construction of the mine, some infrastructure such as roads, and we will also hire people near the mine to mine minerals and increase their income."

"The entire area where the mining area is located has become our concession, and we have the right to enforce the law in it. Fifty years later, the mine will be handed over to you, and you can continue mining. ”

"Fifty years from now, will there still be mines?" The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang, asked seriously.

"You guy, you're really not stupid, you can't finish mining in fifty years, don't worry!" Tang Ping patted his chest and promised: "I can guarantee with my character." ”

"What character do you have?" The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang looked at Tang Ping with some disdain.

This Datang businessman has always been secretive, and now he doesn't even know what the other party's real name is.

And along the way, he pretended to be a ghost, cheated and abducted, and he was extremely skilled, and such a person also said to himself that he had character.

"You...... Then it's okay for me to use Qinglian Gongzi's character as a guarantee, right? Don't forget, he's your savior! ”

The two finally reached an agreement, and Tang Ping tried to help him ascend to the position of emperor, and after he ascended the throne, he set up Mt. Sado in Niigata Prefecture and Mt. Iwami in Shimane Prefecture as concessions, and leased them to the Tang Dynasty to mine the minerals in them for fifty years.

As for how he will regain imperial power after he sits firmly on the throne of the emperor, it is not Tang Ping's responsibility.

"So what should we do now?" The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang, asked Tang Ping.

"Aftermath!" Tang Ping pointed to the entrance of the village that had been cleaned by Lao Cui and them: "The county lord of Niigata County has died so many people, if we don't get rid of him, I'm afraid we will be wanted in a few days." ”

"Go directly to Niigata Prefecture and kill him?" The eldest brother of the mountain, the king, had just killed a knight, and now he said murderously.

"What's the use of killing him?" Tang Ping gave him a blank look: "Then as soon as we leave, the Su family can send another person to be the city lord." ”

"So what should we do?" The eldest brother of the mountain back, Wang Chengcheng, asked for advice.

"Of course, it is to cultivate your own power, there is a saying that people die for money, birds die for food, and this Fusang family is not the only family in the world."

Tang Ping analyzed for him: "Supporting the small families nearby to become the county lords of Niigata County, so that they can taste the taste of power, and it will be difficult to give up when the time comes." ”

"But what if they take refuge in Su's family?" The eldest brother of the mountain, the king, thought of a little and asked.

"It's far from Nara, the news doesn't spread so quickly, you just need to gather some of your supporters outside Nara, even if they are the wallgrass."

"When you return to Nara, as long as you can unite with the Monobe clan to defeat the Soga clan, these wall grasses will naturally fall to you. And you also need to gather their forces against the Monobe clan in case he becomes the next Soga clan. ”

Although Tang Ping formed an alliance with the eldest brother of Shanbei, he did not want Fuso to become a centralized state, and this pattern of mutual control between princes was the best.
