Chapter 902 Everything for Yinshan
The air in the morning is so good!
Jia Pingan wandered around the workshop and took a look at several workshops of his own.
Sun Zhong was still guarding the gate of the tea house in a senile manner, when he saw him coming, he got up and saluted, just like in the past.
After patrolling around, Jia Pingan went to the Ministry of War.
I was late today, Ren Yaxiang couldn't help shaking his head when he saw him, "You were so dangerous yesterday, and you still acted like a fool...not a son of man."
"Xiao Jia!"
This familiar voice came, and Ren Yaxiang got up, "It turned out to be Yan Shangshu."
But I haven't seen him for a day, and Lao Yan's eyeballs are so big that people are stunned.
"The old man thought about it...Xiao Jia, is there really a mountain of silver in the country of Wa?"
Well!
Ren Yaxiang and Wu Kui couldn't help being stunned...
"There must be."
Damn, when the sun is shining, you can see the silver mountain shining from the open sea, and it will still be a tourist attraction in later generations, do you think there is?
Yan Liben took a deep breath, "Forget it, I gave it to you!"
The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were in place, and Jia Ping'an's movements quickly picked up.
Several Japanese prisoners who had been detained in Chang'an were taken out.
"Xiao Jia hasn't left today?"
Ren Yaxiang saw Jia Pingan coming in and out, and felt that the sun was coming out from the west.
He called Chen Jinfa for questioning.
"Why doesn't Duke Jia leave?"
Chen Jinfa looked excited, "Mr. Jia ordered some Japanese captives to come for questioning, and the artisans also came."
Tut!
"This is noisy."
Ren Yaxiang had a headache, Wu Kui's heart skipped a beat, "Sir, go...to see?"
Everyone has gossip, and Ren Yaxiang is no exception.
"Forget it, let's go and have a look."
The two arrived outside Jia Ping'an's duty room, and they heard Jia Pingan and Bao Dong talking inside.
"The artisans of the Ministry of Industry must be respected. Yan Gong said that if there is one missing in this trip, I will go to Jia's house to eat for five years... I am not afraid of him going to eat for five years, but this kind of artisan who can identify mineral veins It’s just treasures, one counts as one, tell the hundred riders following this trip, take care of them, it doesn’t matter if the accompanying officials die, these craftsmen must be kept.”
It doesn’t matter if the official is dead...not a son of man!
Wu Kui's face turned black.
"President Ren?"
Chen Jinfa came and brought a few craftsmen.
"The old man has a look."
Damn it, Xiao Jia regards the Ministry of War as his own yamen.
The two went in, and Jia Pingan ordered Chen Jinfa to make tea.
"Take the good tea I brought from home."
Ren Yaxiang couldn't help feeling greedy, "But the kind that isn't sold in the market?"
Jia Pingan nodded, "Give them a drink too."
Several craftsmen said in panic.
"Why don't you dare?"
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "In my eyes, you are worth more than countless officials."
If there were no such instruments, the craftsmen of later generations would be national treasures.
So I can't respect it too much.
Each person has a cup of tea, and the eyes of several craftsmen are red as they drink.
If you respect others, others will respect you.
Jia Pingan said with a smile: "That place is not far from the seaside of Wa Kingdom. If you look up that mountain on a sunny day, you can see the reflection... that is, the light is shining."
Hiss!
A craftsman clicked his tongue and said: "Mr. Jia said that the old man knows, but... if it can reflect light, isn't it a silver mountain?"
"Yes, it is the Silver Mountain."
Several craftsmen looked at each other.
The craftsman said cautiously: "If that's the case, if you want to come to the rich silver mine, such a rich mine...it will take a lot of people to dig it!"
Another craftsman whispered: "If it is a million taels a year, at least tens of thousands of people are required to mine and smelt, this person..."
The craftsman took a look at Jia Ping'an and said with a smile: "Although it is too early to say these things before they are discovered, the old man thinks... If a silver mine is discovered, the Japanese kingdom will definitely not let it go... Man dies for money, and birds die for food." !"
Jia Ping'an said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this, as long as you find that silver mountain, the rest of the matter will be resolved. Countless soldiers are waiting for death, and we only owe Dongfeng!"
I found that Yinshan can not only solve the problem of popularizing education, but also improve the finances of Datang, and even achieve Jia Ping'an's goal...destroy the Wa country!
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll go and have a look."
The craftsman shuddered, always feeling that Jia Pingan's gaze was a bit piercing, "But manpower... If tens of thousands of people go from Datang, it will cost a lot of food, and it is quite difficult to transport them all by sea..."
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "Why should the people of Datang go to mine?"
The craftsman was puzzled, "Who will let it go? Besides, most of the silver mines carry those harmful things, and most people can't live to be thirty years old... Pensions are also a troublesome thing."
Anything else?
Ren Yaxiang was stunned.
Jia Pingan nodded, "That's what I said, but don't worry about manpower..."
Wu Kui thought of what Jia Pingan did in Liaodong, and couldn't help blurting out, "To catch the Japanese?"
This person actually knows my style?
Jia Ping'an nodded, "Waguo has a lot of manpower, and those savages can work if they give them some food. There is no need to worry about this."
Iwami Yinshan can be regarded as a huge thrust for the development of the Wa country. Why was Toyotomi Hideyoshi able to unify Japan? It was because he robbed Iwami Yinzan. Huge financial resources make him invincible.
After the Japanese kingdom was unified, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, whose wealth had expanded to the extreme, began to look wildly at the other end of the sea...the so-called "mountains and rivers are different, the wind and the moon are in the same sky".
We are not in the same place, but what we see when we look up is the same bright moon.
These two lines of poems were written by the Japanese Nagaya King, and they were embroidered on cassocks and given to the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty would go to Japan to teach the Dharma...
But Toyotomi Hideyoshi swelled like a prince in the middle, and felt that he could share the mountains and rivers with Daming, so the elite army that had just experienced the baptism of the Warring States period set out.
With Iwami Ginzan as his backing, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was full of ambition and full of confidence, but was beaten up by Daming, who had entered the twilight years of the empire, and died of shame and anger.
But Iwami Yinshan has supported the funds for the development of the Wa Kingdom for hundreds of years, and it can be called an artifact of the country.
Jia Ping'an took a fancy to this artifact and planned to use it from Datang.
"Mr. Jia."
Lei Hong came in, "The captives are here."
Jia Pingan nodded.
Several small Japanese people were brought in.
Although they looked a little tired, the wildness in their eyes from time to time made Wu Kui subconsciously say: "You can send someone to protect you."
Jia Pingan shook his head, and said flatly: "Jia is here, and if they dare to make mistakes, they will be military merit."
A few Japanese have practiced Tang dialect hard these days, and have made great progress. Now when they heard Jia Pingan's words, they couldn't help but knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I dare not wait."
"So timid?" Wu Kui said embarrassingly.
Ren Yaxiang shook his head, "The Japanese people are not cowardly, otherwise they would learn from the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, but they would show their teeth at the Tang Dynasty in a sudden transformation... full of wildness!"
Chen Jinfa proudly said: "Mr. Jia burned 100,000 of them to death, and the naval battle was even more severe. It is said that the emperor of the Wa Kingdom was frightened to death by Mr. Jia."
Several Japanese people kowtowed desperately, and Jia Ping'an said flatly: "Since you dare to show your teeth at Datang, it is reasonable to kill all Zhujingguan, thinking that the latecomers will be a warning. But you are still wise and loyal. This time you go to the Japanese country ..."
A Japanese man raised his head and said with gritted teeth: "The Great Tang is so good, and the Japanese country is like a latrine. The lowly slaves don't go to the Japanese country, and the lowly slaves are willing to serve the Great Tang... all children and grandchildren will serve the Great Tang."
I believe in your evil!
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
But he still smiled slightly.
The Japanese became more and more excited.
"Find that mountain of silver, and your descendants will be superior people... the superior people of Wa Kingdom."
Jia Ping'an said indifferently: "The friendship between the Great Tang and the Wa Kingdom is profound, and how much the Wa Kingdom has learned from the Great Tang... Without the nurturing of the Great Tang, how could the Wa Kingdom be in its current situation?"
Waguo can be said to have learned the Tang Dynasty thoroughly, but the facts tell mankind that it is never the structure that determines the friend or enemy, but the interests.
Brothers will turn against each other under the interests of others, let alone the country.
These words are extremely positive and friendly.
The Japanese were extremely excited.
"Do it well."
"I'm still busy." Jia Pingan stood up, "If anyone is not dedicated, he can try."
He is really busy, Gao Yang has something to do with him today.
The Japanese were as respectful as grandsons, and Wu Kui who went out together said with a smile: "Those Japanese are very respectful."
"It's what they're good at."
Anyone who thinks that the Wa Kingdom is respectful should look at their history.
"When they lose to you, they will be more respectful than anyone else, and it's no problem to suffer. They will work hard to learn your strengths, and once the opportunity comes, they will send you into the abyss without hesitation."
Just as Jia Ping'an was about to sneak away, Tang Xu came.
"When did you return to Chang'an?"
Old Tang stayed in Chang'an for a while after leaving Baiqi, and then was transferred to Mobei. After turning back, he still went to Mobei.
Tang Xu looked fatter, and laughed... Mom! This is Old Tang? This is clearly a bomb.
Jia Ping'an was worried that the emperor would send a civil servant to preside over the matter, so he said happily, "I'll be relieved if you go."
The two go out together.
"Someone found the Yinshan Mountain in the country of Wa. This time you take the craftsmen with you, remember not to run around, just wander in that sea area, staring at the mountains on the shore, and leave the rest to the craftsmen..."
Jia Pingan looked at him, "In a word, if you go there, you will be looking for Yinshan, and you can do anything else, there is no restriction, understand?"
"No constraints?"
Tang Xu was taken aback, "Where's the military law?"
Jia Pingan grinned, "Just don't turn the brothers into beast soldiers."
"Isn't this a trip to the mountains and rivers?"
hehe!
Life at sea is tough.
But Jia Ping'an still said sincerely: "Yes! This journey is to travel in the mountains and rivers."
Arrived at the Princess Mansion, Li Shuo was studying, Gao Yang was listening outside, with a look of relief from the old mother.
"All right!"
Jia Ping'an was pacing with her shoulders hooked, but Gao Yang relaxed and fell, his feet still dragging on the ground. The tired Jia Pingan wanted to throw her out.
"Talk about things."
The Ministry of War has received a lot of news recently, and he plans to find some time to read it.
Gao Yang has a strong waist, that is to say, a strong core, so he jumped onto his back with ease.
Jia Pingan almost staggered, and quickly hooked her thigh, "Crazy woman!"
"I'm happy!"
Gao Yang said cheerfully: "You don't know, Xiao Jia, that someone said yesterday that they admired my talent and hinted that they wanted to be my son-in-law..."
This woman is swollen!
"hehe!"
Jia Pingan responded with a haha.
"You are an old couple and you are still acting like a baby!"
"Can't you?"
Gao Yang was really happy today, "Xiao Jia, a lot of people are thinking about Princess Shang these days! It's Xincheng."
The second spring of the new city has always been a problem, the emperor is troubled, and even Gao Yang has planned many candidates for her, but unfortunately, that girl is lifeless, no one likes it.
"Let's take a look at each other."
Otherwise, a small white flower will always dangle like this, and often make light bulbs, which will affect the harmony between him and Gao Yang.
Wandering around the yard with Gao Yang on their backs, Xiao Ling and the others covered their mouths and snickered, secretly envious.
Later, the child finished class and came out and shouted: "Aye!"
Gao Yang hurried down, and then looked dignified as an old mother, "Did Lang finish his studies?"
"lesson complete."
Li Shuo glanced at her, "Aniang, I've seen it all."
This kid!
Jia Pingan was secretly happy, but Gao Yang was a little embarrassed, blushing, "What do you know as a child? A Niang has a sprained ankle."
Li Shuo was serious, "But you jumped a little when you got off Aye's back."
Unlucky boy...I can't save you either.
Jia Ping'an turned around and heard Li Shuo shouting, "Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Do you still dare to talk nonsense?"
Li Shuo, who was caught by the ears, said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare."
Mother and son are making a fuss.
…
Tang Xu is very busy.
Just returned to Chang'an and rested for two days, things started to happen one after another.
He didn't care about going to the Wa country, and he was more relaxed after learning that he was going to find a silver mine.
After accepting the task, he went to the Ministry of Industry.
"Yan Shangshu is busy and waiting."
The whole Ministry of Industry is very bullish. This has something to do with ability, and it also has something to do with the Yan Liben brothers. The two brothers monopolized the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, relying on their skills, they are so arrogant that even the late emperor is full of praise...
So be honest.
Tang Xu sat for half an hour and still didn't move, so he knew he was being left out, and Zhang Gu didn't report at all.
This is Xia Mawei.
But the matter was very urgent. According to Jia Ping'an's intention, he had to gather people immediately, and then rushed all the way to Dengzhou. Take a sharp-bottomed boat in Dengzhou to reach Liaodong, and then you can choose to go overland to Jinzhou and then take a boat, or go around by boat.
The peninsula is now owned by Datang, so let him go.
Time is running out!
Tang Xu got up, and Zhang Gu next to him glanced at him.
"May I ask if Yan Shangshu is free?"
He had asked someone in the army who knew how to sail, and he said that he wanted to catch the wind, so it was best to leave early.
Zhang Gu said lightly: "Why panic, wait."
This is the small official of the central department!
Tang Xu has been suppressing rebellion in Mobei for the past few years. He has a big temper and immediately became angry.
Yo!
The two goalkeeper Zhang Gu were happy.
"We don't understand what you said, why not... go back and come back tomorrow."
Yan Liben is discussing important matters with his subordinates!
This is not Mobei, you can open your mouth to yell or even use your hands... Tang Xu suppressed his anger and forced a smile: "I have something urgent here..."
"Who's not in a hurry?" Zhang Gu smiled and said, "It's not just you, there are five people waiting for Yan Shangshu outside the room..."
"You are in sixth place."
I see.
Then you **** said it earlier!
Tang Xu was cursing in his heart, but his mouth was very kind, "Thank you very much."
He walked out of the gate and said with a headache: "What Xiao Jia told you! If you don't do it well, you will be ashamed to see him."
He shook his head, ready to come back tomorrow.
"Hey! General Tang Lang."
"General Tang Lang."
Huh!
Why did the voice soften?
Tang Xu was puzzled, turned around and saw two palm guards approaching with smiles.
"May I ask Tang Lang that Xiao Jia is the Duke of Jia?"
Tang Xu nodded.
He has been far away from Chang'an these years, and the officials in Chang'an city have changed, and many of them don't know the confidant of the emperor who used to be in charge of Baiqi.
"Ouch! Look at my memory." Zhang Gu patted himself on the forehead hard, and said with a smile: "The person in the first place has important things to do, but pushing it can still free up some time, Tang General Lang is waiting, and I will go and ask Yan Shangshu for instructions."
These words were watertight, but Tang Xu knew the reason as soon as he heard it.
"Thank you."
The other Zhanggu was not as empathetic as his colleagues, and was more blunt, "General Tang Lang and Jia Jungong?"
"Back then... it was indeed a good relationship."
That kid was still my subordinate back then. When he first entered Chang'an City, Jia Ping'an was imprisoned in Baiqi. But time flies, and now Jia Ping'an has become the Duke of Jia, with a literary talent and great military achievements, but he is still struggling in Mobei.
But why did the small official of the Ministry of Industry change his face when he heard Xiao Jia's name?
Tang Xu tentatively asked, "Does the Duke of Jia have a good relationship with the Ministry of Industry?"
Zhang Gu felt that it was not worthwhile to offend Tang Xu earlier, so he wanted to make up for it, and sighed: "General Tang Lang didn't know something. Originally, Yan Shangshu didn't like the Duke of Jia, but later he praised the Duke of Jia when he met everyone. Well, let’s just say that the one in the world who can take over the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Handicrafts is Duke Jia.”
Damn it!
Xiao Jia is so powerful?
Tang Xu's mind exploded.
"Mr. Jia came to the Ministry of Industry as if he came from home. He entered Yan Shangshu's guard house like a wolf. Whenever he saw good calligraphy and painting, he would be swept away, so that Yan Shangshu told me to wait. Whenever he saw Mr. Jia coming Hurry up and report it, so that he can hide those calligraphy and paintings first."
Tang Xu was numb.
This person is really incomparable, that kid and Yan Liben are both chatting and laughing, and if we meet in a few years, I will have to call him Jia Shangshu.
But what about my face?
Heart hurts.
Tang Xu vowed to drain Jia Pingan's small coffers, so as to balance his mentality.
Arrived outside Yan Liben's duty room, I heard someone talking inside.
"What did Xiao Jia say? Let him in, and the old man just wants to talk. Say it in front of Xiao Jia. This person doesn't respect the old man, but if he finds the old man's mistakes, he will point them out. Does the old man want to lose face?"
Tang Xu went in, and saw Yan Liben looking at him with a smile.
"Meet Yan Shangshu."
"This time I went to the Wa country, the most important thing is to protect the craftsmen, and the second is to find Yinshan." Yan Liben's straightforward style won Tang Xu's favor.
"yes."
"Xiao Jia has probably told you about other things. If you don't understand, just ask him." Yan Liben's eyes turned cold, "The Tang Dynasty lacks gold, silver and copper. If you find the silver mountain, it will be a great achievement. In a word, for the silver mountain , you can act cheaply."
…
Good night!
