Chapter 328 You are the only one who knows the secret
Liu An said to Wei Hao: "Return to Bianliang, your case will be tried very quickly, and the end will be exile for eight thousand miles."
"Eight, eight thousand miles?" Wei Hao said in his heart. As far as he knew, the exile of the Song Dynasty, 3,500 miles was Qiongya. Where would the eight thousand miles go?
Seeing the expression on Wei Hao's face, Liu An smiled: "Ba Qianli is just an exaggerated statement, which means exile outside the Song Dynasty. Don't worry, I will make you capsize on the sea and report that the shipwreck is unknown."
"Please make it clear."
Wei Hao could react now, and the unknown life and death meant that he was going to somewhere secretly.
Liu An said: "Water Island."
"What am I going to do in that place?"
"On the three major commercial alliances in Wadao, Hangzhou, Huizhou and Jinling, tens of millions of stakes have been spent, and there are more than 2,000 immigrants. There we have one million mulberry forests, two top-grade carboniferous ore, one medium-grade iron ore, and four top-grade copper mine areas. I don't know how many of them are, so I didn't pay attention to it."
"In addition, there are also Japanese tyrants who have five households and ninety-five households to form a village. There seem to be five hundred villages. Because there are constantly farmers and farmers, and I have no data on the newly added places. At this time, they should be attacking the harbor in the north. I am not afraid of you to joke at the moment. The person in charge of Zhuzidao is a woman."
"Female, woman? But the Marquis' Lady?"
"No, my wife doesn't have this talent, she is the ninth girl of the Yang family. It's because there is no one available. Fortunately, the second general of the Shi family secretly helps us. We face three major problems when building Zidao."
Wei Hao stood up straight: "Please tell me."
"The first problem is that there are three major manor owners on Zhuzi Island who join forces with dozens of small manors to destroy us. Similarly, I also want to destroy them and then turn their leaders into ours. The second problem is that the army needs war, and the people need politics. Fortunately, the army is all the old army leads the troops, but what about politics?"
"I understand, I just build a purple island, I'm afraid it's a bit big?"
"Is it big?"
"The officials should do their best." Wei Hao immediately understood that no matter how big he was, he would take over. A guess also arose from his heart and immediately asked: "In the court..."
Liu An did not avoid: "There are few people in the court who know about it, and Xianggong Kou doesn't know much. The external claim is that the Hangzhou Business Alliance got lost because of the sea breeze. With the help of the Asu family, they survived the difficulties and established commercial transactions with the Asu family, and all the troops there were not registered."
Wei Hao's face was thrust.
"Speak straight."
"Mr. Marquis, what do you mean?"
Liu An replied: "Destroy the Japanese."
Wei Hao immediately retorted: "Mr. Marquis, the marquis understands what the official asked."
"I understand, you think I don't want to mobilize the power of the entire Song Dynasty to deal with the Japanese. You think if I follow the rules, the battle of Lingzhou could start. If I really had any other ideas, the world would be in chaos long ago, and there would be..."
Liu An was just talking, and Wei Hao waved his hand anxiously: "Master Hou, I don't ask this."
"What the hell is that?" Liu An was a little confused.
Wei Hao said: "The Japanese island is barren, and the Liao people are my mortal enemies of the Song Dynasty. There are still people who want to repeat themselves among the Dangxiang people. The Xifan will be in chaos for a long time at any time. Even the Qu Yue from the south dares to harass my Song Dynasty. At this time, what is there in the Japanese island? Could it be that there is a personal grudge?"
Liu An closed his eyes and stopped answering.
Wei Hao didn't urge him, and sat beside the bed and looked at Liu An.
He guessed that there must be some motive, otherwise he would put such great efforts on the Japanese island when he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Is it worth it?
Moreover, the Sanglin was sent here to plant it, with an investment of tens of millions of yuan.
Can this money be earned back? When can it be earned back? Is it worth it?
Liu An thought about it and opened his eyes: "There are several reasons, let me talk about justice first."
"Please tell me."
"Someone wrote a letter to the Emperor at Sunrise."
Wei Hao nodded: "It was given to the Great Sui Dynasty by the King of Japan. This is a great righteousness, but it is not worthy of the military."
"Along with the current reality, I have the ambition to incorporate Goryeo into the territory. Starting from five hundred years ago, the Japanese would attack Goryeo once they had the chance. Build Zidao is the outpost for their expedition. Take Zhuzidao, and Goryeo is the rear. Whether it is farming or building workshops, you can work with peace of mind."
"The official understands. I guess there are other reasons?"
Liu An grinned: "You are the first person to hear this big secret. There are copper mines on the island of Japan, many, many. But this is not enough to attract me. What really attracts me is that there is a silver mine on the island of Japan. How big is this silver mine? It is a whole mountain. If all of them are dug into silver, I am afraid it is..."
Wei Hao stared at Liu An with his eyes straight, he was waiting for this number.
Liu An took a deep breath: "It is possible that there is a super large silver mine that has not been dug out in the Song Dynasty, including the silver mines that have not been dug out in total. According to the ore dug every year, it is more than 1,000 stones. And it is estimated that it will not be dug for a hundred years. Do you think it is worth it?"
"value!"
"You are the only person who knows this secret besides me. Come."
Liu An walked to the desk and quickly drew a simple map of the Japanese island, then marked a point: "It's here, it's called Ishimiyama. Izumo is easy to find. From Izumo, it is located in the southwest of dozens of miles, about thirty-five miles from the sea."
After Liu An finished talking about the location, he immediately burned the map with a fire.
After the burning, Liu An said, "You don't believe it. After you secretly send someone to explore the island, you can confirm my words."
Wei Hao asked again: "How did the Marquis know?"
"I, the chief supervisor of the Secretariat, I am in charge of classics. This secret was discovered by a monk who went to the Japanese island during the Tang Dynasty. I found all the relevant classics and calculated them. After I went to the Japanese island, I inquired about it. The Japanese people didn't know it, and no one except me knew it. This matter must be kept secret, and this silver mountain is a bit too big."
"Mr. Marquis, can you dig?"
"I found treasures buried by someone in your house, and there are bandits not far away. Do you dig them?"
Wei Hao laughed. As a civil servant, he was quite scary when he was cruel.
Wei Hao said: "With great righteousness, kill all the Japanese royal family, and then complete control of that area, the heavy army will protect him, and the subordinates will dig him 20 million stones of sterling silver a year."
Liu An wanted to give Wei Hao a thumbs up. He really chose the wrong person.
However, Liu An did not believe that Wei Hao could do 100 tons of sterling silver every year without a steam engine. Back then, the Japanese had only 27 tons of sterling silver a year without construction machinery.
Liu An doubled this number and turned into a thousand stones purely to attract Wei Hao.
"You go, I'll be relieved."
