Chapter 426: Looking for Iwami Ginzan

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret report that the clipper was sent to Ying Tianfu.

After seeing the report of the King of Qin, Zhu Zhang, angrily killing corrupt officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually praised him: "Hahaha, the second child's jealous and hateful temperament is very similar to ours." ”

As he spoke, he threw the secret report to the crown prince Zhu Biao, who was still handling official business.

said coldly: "The people behind these grain merchants are getting bolder and bolder. ”

"We dare to steal our grain, prepare to transport it to the Central Plains, and when the weather is dry, we will play the trick of strange goods."

After Zhu Fan hanged Nanyang County's order, this person's master immediately came to surrender.

By the way, the grain and the whereabouts of the money sold were all explained to Zhu Fan clearly.

"Damn the thief!"

After Zhu Biao saw the contents of the secret report, he rarely slapped the table.

Because it is not only the granary in Nanyang, the grain in it has been resold.

Other states and counties that have always had good weather are likely to have a similar situation.

The most unacceptable thing is.

Master Nanyang County said that if Zhu Fan hadn't broken the matter.

In another half a month, there will be a group of 'unexpectedly' Japanese robbers who will easily attack Nanyang County.

Then the non-existent grain was directly burned on fire.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao is angry.

After all, after Lin Che's analysis, although he knew that there were many corrupt officials in Daming now.

But he never expected that these corrupt officials would have no lower limit to such a point.

Use the grain of the official warehouse to go to the Central Plains, and do things that are sold high.

In order to settle the bad debts of embezzlement of money and grain, they even colluded with the Japanese who had a mortal enmity with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao's face sank like water, and he finished reading the entire secret report.

Then he asked Zhu Yuanzhang for his life: "I also ask my father to hand over the investigation of the grain money case of the official warehouse to his son." ”

"Erchen promises that no matter whether it is a corrupt official or a traitor, he will not escape the punishment of the Ming Law."

Zhu Biao is now in real shape.

He knew that if he didn't put his heart into it, he would clean up a wave of local moths.

So when he takes the position, I'm afraid that the situation at the bottom will be rotten and can't be cleaned up.

Who knows, although Zhu Yuanzhang is also angry.

But he shook his head: "Lin Che said before that if you want to destroy certain forces, you have to make them crazy. ”

"Now the masterminds behind these people are not unscrupulous enough, Xu Yao will let it go for a while."

"Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, you will only be able to catch some small shrimp in the end."

Although Zhu Biao was unwilling, he also knew that what his old father said was right.

Because they were able to steal and sell the granaries of several states and counties, the grain in the flower room was transported to the people of the Central Plains.

It must not be, just a few grain merchants on the surface.

Do not eradicate these moths that are entrenched in the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, there will be more officials who will be corrupted by them and embark on the same path of harming the people as they do.

Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded Zhu Biao to put a long line to catch big fish in the grain theft and sale case.

He asked about the recruitment of workers in the Central Plains: "How many people in the Central Plains are willing to work in the white sugar factory?" ”

"Is it possible to get together a factory and the number of workers needed?"

Due to the custom of being difficult to leave the homeland, Zhu Yuanzhang has been prepared, and the white sugar factory is ready to find no one.

However, when Zhu Biao heard about this, a slight smile appeared in the dark.

He took out two letters: "Father, Du Peng and Gonggong Li replied that they had recruited about 20,000 workers. ”

"Some villages with severe drought, and even more than half of the villagers, followed him."

"Only some landlords who were reluctant to produce their fields were left, begging the tenants who stayed behind to carry water from the mountains to water the wheat seedlings."

Seriously, if it weren't for Du Peng and Grandpa Li.

In their letters, both of them emphatically described the anecdotes of the landlords begging the tenants to do things.

Zhu Biao couldn't believe what Lin Che had said in class.

After the scarcity of labor, the status of tenants will rise so quickly.

"Hahaha, Lin Che is really a god of the unknown prophet now."

After Zhu Yuanzhang read the letter handed by Zhu Biao, he was also amused by you and laughed.

At the same time, he admired it even more, Lin Che was already a ghost god's resourcefulness.

He pondered for a moment and said, "There are many dry places in the Central Plains this time, and it is not enough to recruit only 20,000 people. ”

"Use the clipper to send an order to Du Peng, try to find as many people as possible, even if our factory can't be placed, there is still Jeju Island to house them."

I didn't know it before, but since I learned from Lin Cheol's mouth that Jeju Island is extremely suitable for horse breeding.

Zhu Yuanzhang has already ordered to select a group of high-quality good horses, prepare to gather a certain number, and send them to Jeju Island for grazing.

It can be regarded as preparing war horses for the conquest of the Japanese kingdom in advance.

Things to grow well, all kinds of pasture soybeans are indispensable.

The drought in the Central Plains has not yet abated.

Just enough to recruit a group of people who can farm and plant grass on Jeju Island.

For this kind of will that is beneficial to the people, Zhu Biao naturally agreed with his mouth.

On the spot, he wrote a letter to Du Peng to increase the number of people recruited.

And when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were still concerned about the drought in the Central Plains.

With six hundred soldiers, Hu Yunqiang, who had been pouring on the sea for a few days.

At this moment, he is holding his sword against the throat of the head of the month.

Said viciously: "Phnom Penh Taro, you dog is not honest, you said that you can get to Shimane Prefecture in three days." ”

"But we've been floating twice as long at sea, and we haven't seen land yet."

"I'm tired of being crooked, or I don't plan to have your wife and children."

The Shimane Prefecture mentioned by Hu Yuanqiang is the place where Iwami Silver Mountain is located.

It's just that in this era, the so-called silver mountain has not yet been excavated.

If it weren't for the drawings drawn by Lin Che.

Hu Yunqiang really had no choice, and interrogated from the prisoner's mouth about the specific location of Yinshan.

And for the sake of secrecy.

After many confirmations, Hu Yunqiang sent all the captives to Xitian.

Now they are the guide of Taro Phnom Penh.

His original identity was the governor of Tsushima given to him by the Japanese state.

After the Ming Dynasty easily wiped out the Japanese army on the island.

directly surrendered to Hu Yunqiang, and then used proficient Chinese to say that he wanted to be a dog for Daming.

This is a life that was left unlucky.

Hu Yunqiang did not kill Phnom Penh Taro at that time, but planned to keep this governor of the Japanese kingdom and recruit rebellion in the future.

And using this Wako as a guide is a task to test their loyalty.

Unexpectedly, this guy messed up on his first mission.

What was supposed to be a simple thing to lead the way turned out to be a sea drift due to hard grief.

Hu Yunqiang was very skeptical that this old slave was planning to do something dead.

"Please, General Hu, I can explain."

Taro Phnom felt the cold tip of the sword against his throat.

Hurriedly made a gesture of surrender.
