Chapter 225 Silver can't be mined indiscriminately, otherwise it will be inflationary

Thousands of cavalry rushed towards Iwami Castle, which made all the originally shocked Japanese people a little afraid, and they didn't understand what the Ming was going to do.

But even Li Jin was a little puzzled, wasn't there originally only two military exercises?

Why did another one come out? Was there some kind of surprise?

Li Jin subconsciously looked at Lan Yu under the city, but Lan Yu also looked confused, I don't know what the situation is?

On the contrary, with a somewhat solemn expression, he ordered the Ming Navy to be under martial law to prevent being attacked.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lan Yu to see clearly that the person leading the troops in front of him was Tang He and the crown prince Zhu Biao.

Lan Yu hurriedly asked his subordinates to lift their guards, and the guns of the province went off the rails, and there was an accident.

It turned out that after Zhu Biao got off the boat, he took a horse and rushed to Iwami Castle non-stop, wanting to see Li Jin as soon as possible, and then go to see the so-called Iwami Silver Mountain.

Li Jin also saw the person who came clearly, and knew in his heart that this was the reinforcement that Xu Da said yesterday.

However, Tang He is the general of the reinforcements, so Lao Huang's son is the envoy.

I have to say that Lao Huang's family is indeed a noble family, and they can be so appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Jin knew the cause and effect, so he naturally didn't have the mood to go down with Tian last time, and said directly:

"This is our elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, Tian Shangjun doesn't need to panic."

"Now that the military exercise has ended, Tian Shangjun should return as soon as possible, our Emperor Majesty is still waiting for your emperor's reply."

"I hope that the next time we meet, we will still be friends, not enemies."

"You must know that we treat our friends as warm as spring, but for our enemies, we will be as cold as winter."

"Tian Shang-kun doesn't want to eat the guns of our Great Flame Gun, right?"

Li Jin's half-smiling and half-threatening words made Tian Shangjiro sweat, and he nodded again and again and promised that he would never dare to become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Jin was satisfied and let go of Tian Shangjiro, and asked him to go back first to persuade Emperor Daigo, as for whether Emperor Daigo would agree, Li Jin was not worried.

After all, now that the knife is in Li Jin's hands, even if Emperor Daigo doesn't agree, there is still a spare tire Ashikaga family.

But there are still two retainers of the Ashikaga family in his hands, and it is easy to contact the Ashikaga family.

After Tian Shangjiro left, Li Jin walked down the city wall and stepped in front of Lan Yu, at this time Tang He and Zhu Biao had already dismounted, talking excitedly with each other.

"You have come all the way from Daming, and you have worked hard all the way."

Li came in front of several people and said directly:

"This is not the place to talk, why don't you move to the City Lord's Mansion and have a good conversation?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed, and then he said:

"Marquis Yongchang, please help these cavalry behind you settle properly."

"There are still 7,000 soldiers at the port, and I also ask Yongchanghou to help settle down."

"Temple... Rest assured, the envoy will leave this matter to me. ”

Lan Yu patted her chest and took a bite.

Then Zhu Biao and Tang He followed Li Jin and slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion in the city.

When Tang He saw Li Jin again, he only felt that Li Jin seemed to have become more lean and capable, and his temperament was becoming more and more sharp, like a long knife that was completely unsheathed, and it was unstoppable.

It seems that Li Jin has been polishing in the army for a long time these days, otherwise he would not have such a strong military spirit.

No wonder Li Jin can go to sea to do a lot of business, Tang He secretly thought in his heart that although this person is young, he should not be underestimated.

Zhu Biao was very happy to see Li Jin, in Zhu Biao's heart, Li Jin has always been a capable general.

can not only govern the people, but also govern the army, which is really a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

All Zhu Biao has never been afraid to express his appreciation for Li Jin, and the people around him basically know it.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Queen Ma and some of Zhu Biao's close ministers can even mention Li Jin from Zhu Biao's mouth.

Now seeing Li Jin in a foreign country, Zhu Biao has a lot of doubts in his heart and wants to consult Li Jin.

However, when he was not talking on the road, Zhu Biao could only hold it in his stomach and wait until the City Lord's Mansion to inquire again.

The three of them immediately talked, and soon came to the castle lord's mansion from Iwami Castle from the city gate.

Xu Da was already waiting at the door, and it seemed that someone had notified Xu Da in advance.

"I've seen Chincha-sama."

Xu Da bowed slightly, expressing his respect for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Da up, and then said with emotion:

"Crossing the ocean, conquering Wajima, and conquering Iwami Castle, the Duke of Wei is really hard work."

"Don't dare."

Xu Da bowed his hand slightly.

When he walked into the City Lord's Mansion and came to the living room, Zhu Biao took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said loudly:

"Li Jin, Xu Da listens to the order."

Li Jin and Xu Da perked up, and then hurriedly bowed to the order:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says."

"Wajima refused to accept the king's transformation and sent samurai to pretend to be Wako and invade our Ming Dynasty."

"Today, Xu and Li are not satisfied with the conquest of the navy, and they have defeated the thieves, which is really comforting."

"Immediately increase the number of households in the public food of Xu Dawei by 1,000, and Jin Li Jin will be the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture."

"Wang'er and others work together, make persistent efforts, live up to my hopes, and admire this!"

Xu Da's face was calm, after all, his title had already reached its peak.

Wei Guogong is already unsealable, and adding some food is just icing on the cake.

But Li Jin is different, after so many years, he finally changed from the county magistrate of Shanghu County to the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.

This is a phoenix that flies on a branch.

The county order is just seven grades, and everyone has to nod their heads.

And the prefect is a member of the four grades, which can be described as a high authority.

More importantly, the development of Shanghu County has been saturated, and now Songjiang Mansion has become its own jurisdiction, so he can finally let go of his hands and feet to vigorously develop Songjiang Mansion.

After receiving the decree, the two sat down separately and began to talk about business.

"The emperor asked me to come this time mainly for two things."

Zhu Biao sat down with you as a matter of course and talked about the purpose of this trip.

"The first thing is naturally to confirm whether Iwami Silver Mountain really has such a large reserve."

"I borrowed 300 experienced exploration miners from the Ministry of Industry, and they can definitely find out the reserves of this huge silver mine."

As soon as the words fell, Li Jin and Xu Da both nodded, this matter is understandable, after all, Iwami Yinshan is very involved.

No matter how cautious Zhu Yuanzhang is, it is not too much.

"This matter is as it should be, and I will take you to Iwami Silver Mountain later to explore the silver reserves."

Seeing Li Jin like this, Zhu Biao bowed slightly, and then slowly said the second thing:

"The second thing is that the emperor thinks that only 100,000 taels of silver are mined every month, which is too little."

"I want to expand the output to 300,000 taels of silver, so I was specially ordered to come and ask Lord Li what he thinks."

"Three hundred thousand taels?"

Li Jin's brows furrowed directly, but Tang He on the side looked at Li Jin with bright eyes.

If it is really a month to produce 300,000 taels of silver, then he can get 30,000 taels a month.

With the current price of Daming, it is really a big fish and meat every day, and the food and clothing are not exhausted.

What's more, even with a monthly output of 300,000 silver, the mine could be mined for two hundred years.

The thought of it makes Yuwa excited.

But Li Jin's next sentence made Tang He fall into an ice cave:

"I don't think so, the monthly output of 300,000 taels of silver may raise the price of Daming."

"This is not a good thing for the people, but it will be an extraordinary disaster."

Hearing this, not only Tang He, but even Zhu Biao and Xu Da were a little shocked, and looked at Xu Da for some reason:

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Jin is a little embarrassed, this involves economics, and it is a little difficult to explain them now.

However, Li Jin thought for a moment and decided to give a simple example and explain it to a few people.

After all, the silver at this time is the currency of later generations, and the result of over-issuance of currency, as long as normal people know, will cause currency depreciation, and then prices soar, which is absolutely a catastrophe for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
