With the advent of someone, history quietly changed after all.

Silver was originally a powerful weapon for Dongying's counterattack, but before everyone could react, Zhu Youzhu had already launched a currency war without gunpowder.

Marx said that the form of movement in which the circulation of commodities directly gives money is that money constantly leaves the starting point, that is, money is transferred from the hands of one commodity owner to another.

According to modern economics, it is the continuous movement of money as a means of circulation and payment.

Once silver is not liquid in this era, or is not payable at all, then it is naturally impossible for silver to become a circulating currency.

The Iwami Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in Toei, but Toei is not only such a large silver mine, but there are also countless large and small silver mines on the island of Japan, and the output once reached three-quarters of the world.

From ancient times to the present, silver has not been circulated and paid in Dongying.

It's not that the people of Dongying resist silver, but that silver is not scarce, and no one wants to exchange the goods they have worked so hard to produce for silver?

Originally, these silver mines were almost equivalent to dead things, but in the original history, Huaxia not only brought advanced mining technology to Japan, but also brought Japan good quality and low price, which made Xiaori a "Middle Eastern tyrant".

Now they are unfortunate enough to meet the wise Emperor Hongji.

The history of the world has undergone major changes, and the liquidity of silver will be difficult in China, and the means of payment will be even more fantastic.

As for the countless silver mines of all sizes in Toei, they can still only be reduced to dead things, and even the Iwami Silver Mine is just a worthless dead place.

"The Ming people have given up the silver mine, this ...... What's going on? ”

Kurada Masayori only thought that he had pinched the seven inches of Daming, but when he saw the bare mountain in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes and muttered to himself.

It is not that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea for the silver mine, not that silver can be exchanged for countless silk, porcelain, tea, medicinal materials, books and women, etc., does not say that the Ming people regard silver as a treasure?

Ouchi Yoshixing glared at Kurada Masayori, and found that this retainer was not as smart as he thought, and immediately withdrew his troops angrily: "Let's go back to Yamaguchi Castle!" ”

Originally, he thought that Daming would be handled by them casually, especially with Iwami Silver Mine, which could be used as a bargaining chip for negotiations, but he found that this was not the case at all.

Now that their Ouchi family has simply provoked a super terrifying existence, if it continues to develop like this, the Ouchi family is likely to completely lose the territory of Kyushu Island.

When the Da Nei army was empty, the mining team led by Huo Guangming had already withdrawn to the sea.

"Shall we give up the Iwami Silver Mine?"

"Iwami Silver Mine is afraid that the silver content is hundreds of millions of taels, really give up like this?"

"In my experience, once this silver mine is mined, all the silver in our Ming Dynasty will not be comparable!"

……

Although the miners of the Iwami Silver Mine left with the ship as arranged, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the astonishing size of the silver mine.

In fact, they didn't realize it, and now they are still stuck in the thinking of the silver standard, so they think that the wealth of the Iwami silver mine can be equal to the wealth of the entire Chinese society.

It's just that they don't want to think about it, how many generations of hard work have taken Huaxia to have such a large social wealth, how can they be willing to be bought by a natural silver mine?

Huo Guangming happened to inspect the cabin, and the leader who accompanied him immediately reprimanded: "What are you yelling here, this is the decision of the superiors!" The silver mine is there, and it can't run with long legs, and now it's just a temporary evacuation! ”

The miners, who were still expressing regret just now, found out that this was really the case, and in the face of the reprimand of their chief foreman, they immediately said yes.

"You don't need to be afraid of not being paid! Although we evacuate the Iwami Silver Mine, there are indeed many mines in this Wajin, so prepare for the next mine! Huo Guangming knew that these miners mainly wanted to make money, so he smiled mysteriously.

Hey? And mines?

The miners, who were originally only thinking about dealing with their superiors, were stunned, but they didn't expect that the imperial court would have other arrangements.

The boats, laden with miners, did not return west to Daming, but sailed north to Duck Island, north of Honshu Island, which later became known as Sado Island.

Sado Island is named after the Great Sado Mountains in the north and the Small Sado Mountains in the south, and unlike the central part of Kyushu Island, which is high and low, there is a fertile land in the middle.

Since there are 2,000 indigenous islanders here, it has always belonged to Iwami Province, and it is nominally the private property of the Ouchi family, but ...... Now!

"From today onwards, this island is owned by the Ming Dynasty and renamed Dongji Island! If you help the East China Sea Governor's Mansion mine gold, you can be included in my Ming nationality! After Huo Guangming landed on the island, he immediately announced.

I'm afraid that the Ouchi family didn't even expect that this time they would turn against the Ming Dynasty, and the economic losses they suffered were almost immeasurable.

Kill!

Just as the East China Sea Fleet occupied the Guanshan Strait and the Ming mining team entered the East Pole Island, the army under the command of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshisho and the army of Rokkaku Koyori were already fighting by the river.

If there are no accidents, the fighting will continue, and the war will become the main theme of the Japanese island, and the population, food and social resources will continue to be depleted.

Originally, Dongying could still rely on silver and gold mines to quickly recover the economy, but once the silver standard was abolished by the Ming Dynasty, their post-war society would be in ruins, and it was also the darkest moment in Dongying's history.

The fifth year of Hongji is a year of instability for the whole world.

Sistine Chapel, Roman City.

"I'm the Pope! I'm the Pope! ”

Alexander VI spent almost all his fortune to buy off the greedy bishops, but when the vestments were added, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.

This pope, who was recognized by later generations as a symbol of the corruption and depravity of the Renaissance Holy See, and who behaved the most dissolute and unscrupulous acts, has now ascended to the papacy following the established trajectory of history.

"Become a Christian or get out of Spain!"

Spain largely won the war against the Muslim Moors, driving most of the Muslims back to North Africa. As defenders of Christianity, the King and Queen of Spain regarded Jews and remaining Muslims in Spain as pagans, and ordered them to convert to Christianity if they wished to stay, or be expelled from Spain.

"The king has appointed you as the commander of the discovery lands, and you will receive one-tenth of all the goods and wealth of all the discovered lands!"

The great Italian navigator Christopher Columbus's preaching of the "Theory of the Circle of the Earth" finally came to fruition, and the King of Spain decided to support Columbus in his voyage to find the New World, and he had a large share of the profits.

"Let's go, let's go to the East, we must reach the Golden Country!"

Columbus took the contract to go to Asia to collect spices, and led a fleet of three ships provided by the king of Spain, and immediately pointed to the southern province.

Just as China is preparing to embrace the maritime age with its huge ships and cannons and the best goods, the entire West is also embarking on a sailing adventure, and is preparing to come to the mysterious ancient country of the East.

The Ming Dynasty, which seems very mysterious to outsiders, is actually the normal replacement of the four seasons, the wind in February blew the south of the Yangtze River, and the land of Shenzhou has been revived.

Ningbo Fucheng, the wall is two zhang five feet high, the site is two zhang two feet wide, the face is one zhang five feet, the surrounding two thousand two hundred and sixteen zhang, and the extension is 18 miles.

The city opens six gates, the east is the Lingqiao Gate, the Dongdu Gate, the south is the Changchun Gate, the west is the Wangjing Gate, the north is the Yongfeng Gate, and the northeast is the Heyi Gate.

Because it is located in the west of the Yongjiang River, it can not only enter the sea along the river, but also enter the Hangzhou water system against the current.

Since the Ming Dynasty reopened the Ningbo City Ship Division here, it has been built here according to the layout of the canal water gate, and the Ningbo water gate to prevent ships from coming and going has been built on the Yongjiang River.

Due to the existence of the water pass, whether it is a businessman who is in a hurry to go north or wants to go to sea, he can only obediently go to Ningbo City to apply for a pass, which also indirectly promotes the prosperity of Ningcheng.

Ningbo City, Ningbo City Bosi Yamen.

Since the Ming Dynasty fully opened the sea, more and more merchants chose to engage in maritime trade, especially in recent years, the first batch of crab eaters have become rich, which has stimulated everyone to flock to the sea.

Because Ningbo is backed by the resources of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and adjacent to the East China Sea and the South Sea, it has become the starting point for Asahi in the east and Ryukyu and Luzon in the south.

As the maritime merchants of Daming became more and more active, more and more countries were willing to trade with Daming.

Although they did not have as many gold and silver mines as Japan, they did have local specialties, including treasures such as agate gemstones and pearls, spices that the Chinese people loved, and seafood that belonged to them.

It's just that the pie of maritime trade is so big that everyone wants a piece of the pie.

When the group came to the yamen, a tall attendant stepped forward and explained to the doorman: "We want to see Lord Tiju?" ”

"Our Lord Zhao is not free, please go back!" The doorman first swept the people, and then rolled his eyes and said indifferently.

The tall entourage frowned, and pointed to the few people walking in front: "I heard those people looking for Lord Tiju just now, how can they get in?" ”

"That's our friend of Lord Zhao, can you be like you poor sour?" The doorman chewed the betel nut in his mouth, but he smiled without smiling.

The attendant Zhang Dashan felt that this doorman had something to say, and suddenly said with a gloomy face: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Listening to your accent, you must be from a big place, right? When you meet the river and worship the river, you don't understand this truth? The doorman continued to chew on the betel nut, which became more and more addictive, and said it bluntly.

At this moment, Zhang Dashan naturally understood what people meant, but he didn't expect that a guard of the yamen would ask for bribes so blatantly, and said very unwillingly: "Take it!" ”

Boom!

It's just that the silver dollar was handed over, but the doorman stretched out his hand to block, and after the silver dollar drew an arc in mid-air, it made a crisp sound on the blue brick floor, and the silver dollar rolled into the crack of the brick.

Zhang Dashan saw that his silver dollar was discarded like this, and he immediately wanted to do it.

"Please make it easier!" An obese member suddenly stepped forward, but said with a smile.

The doorman weighed the weight of silver taels with his hand, and here he proudly showed his red teeth and said, "If you are like this for a long time, you don't need me to bother to speak, please come in!" ”

It is said that the prime minister's concierge is a four-grade official, but as a result, the doormen of this small Ningbo City Bosi dared to block the road and ask for money.

As the official of the seal of the yamen, he naturally sits in the center of the office, and the inner house of the government office can be arranged for family members to live in.

"Let's take a look, we're going to see Lord Tiju!" When the fat officer saw that there was a doorman standing outside the door of the government office, he had no choice but to hand over two pieces of silver.

The two guards looked at each other and smiled, and one of them went inside.

After about half a burnt incense, the doorman went and returned, leading the group inside.

I thought I could see Lord Tiju, but I didn't want them to be led to a side room, where a middle-aged man in the costume of a master was writing a note.

Since there were people in front of them, they waited a few more moments.

"Why do you want to see Lord Zhao?" The master asked directly with an obvious Wu tone.

The obese staff saw that although the master was asking, he was holding his chest with his hands, and he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, but he knew that he wanted to get closer to each other first.

"Do you want to have tea or drink with us?" The master glanced approvingly at the fat man who was very good, and then asked directly.

The obese outsider turned around and glanced at the person behind him, and then asked with a smile, "How is the price now?" ”

"Since you are already an old acquaintance, this is a hundred taels of tea and a thousand taels of wine!" The corners of the master's mouth rose slightly, and he made an authentic offer.

The fat outsider glanced at the person behind him again, and finally said with a smile: "We are not here for the sea and merchant ships, this time we want to see Lord Zhao in person!" ”

"My lord is drinking with the governor in the back house, you can come back in a few days!" The corners of the master's mouth rose slightly, but he was very disdainful.

The obese staff learned that Zhao Tiju was accompanying the governor, but he knew that it was really not the right time, and no matter how much silver he had, he couldn't let Zhao Tiju leave the governor to see him.

Zhang Cai sighed helplessly, and immediately showed his waist card and said: "I am Zhang Cai, a thousand households in Jinyi, and I will lead the way immediately, I want to see who gave him the courage to dare to openly greed for ink!" ”

"Are you really a thousand households in Jinyi?" When the master learned the identity of the other party, he looked the young man in front of him up and down.

Zhang Cai is an authentic Beijinger, but he said with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense!" Today, thousands of households are going to eliminate traitors for the court and lead the way quickly! ”

"Zhang Qianhu, you only see us collecting some benefit fees from maritime merchants, but do you know why we dare to collect it publicly?" The master was not very worried about a small brocade cloth, but asked with a smile.

Zhang Cai heard the voice-over, so he asked tentatively: "You mean that someone is supporting you in the court?" ”

"Not bad! Yoon Nao, a scholar at Wooyoungjeon University, is the teacher of my family, Dong Weng! The master no longer hid it, but directly reminded his hole card.

The fair-skinned old man, who had been standing behind without saying a word, was finally moved at this moment. (End of chapter)
