Chapter 280 The benefits of fighting in cold winter
Ming Dynasty: Huddle up in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 280 The benefits of fighting in the cold winter "Your Highness, the general and others have fulfilled their mission and finally found the location of Yinshan!"
When he came to Zhu Di, Wang You reported the report with a happy face.
At the same time, he directly placed the old box that he had been holding tightly in his arms in front of Zhu Di and slowly opened it.
Guo An, Zhu Liang, Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others all stared with curiosity.
"This..."
Zhu Di's eyes instantly brightened when he saw the gray but slightly silver nugget in the box.
As for Guo An, Zhu Liang and others, their eyes were widened with surprise on their faces.
However, Zhu Di occupied the box of silver bullion alone, while Zhu Liang and others could only stand around and watch helplessly.
"Guo Qing..."
Zhu Di raised his head and shouted to the side.
However, when he just raised his head, he saw Guo An squatting in front of him, picking up a silver nugget in one hand, banging it with his hands, and pinching it with his hands at the same time.
Zhu Di: "..."
"Your Highness, this seems to be real money."
"It's money!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "It's just that these Japanese people are not very skilled, and the silver nuggets they extract still contain a lot of impurities.
If our Ming silversmiths come to refine it, they will definitely make it even whiter."
With that said, Zhu Di raised his head again and looked at the boxes in the hands of the Yanshan guards behind him.
"Wang Qing, are these silver nuggets?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, these wooden boxes contain silver bullion."
Wang You waved his hand quickly, and all the Yanshan guards gently placed the boxes in their hands in front of Zhu Di.
Then, open them one by one.
There are hundreds of boxes, all of which are filled with silver nuggets of different sizes.
Although it is dusty, it shines brightly under the sunlight.
"Hiss..."
Guo An couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others were even more unbearable, their eyes almost bulged out.
In their entire lives, they have never seen so much money.
Wang You explained with joy on his face, "I will eventually find the silver mine. Not far away is the silver refining workshop and the silver warehouse.
After killing the Japanese craftsmen, Mo Jiang and others took back all the silver bars refined by the Japanese to His Highness!"
"Great job!"
Zhu Di looked happy, "With so much money, I will not lose anything in sending troops this time!"
"Have you remembered the location of the silver mine?"
Wang You said quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will remember it, and he will be able to draw the route in a while."
“Very good!”
Zhu Di was even more satisfied, and at the same time said to Zhu Liang on the side, "Send the order for Tan Tong and the others to come back!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhu Liang responded quickly.
As for Zhu Di, he had already taken Wang You to the boat.
Guo An stayed below and ordered Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others, as well as the scribes gathered around them, "Please count all these silver bars quickly."
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others were immediately overjoyed.
Guo An looked at the group of Yanshan Guards again.
"You should take the lead in this campaign against Japan. Don't worry, Your Highness will never be stingy in rewarding you!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi!"
Lu Xing, Qin Zhou, Gu Dahua and others quickly thanked them.
"Thank you for your work. Your Highness, King Yan, is a reward for you. We have no money to give you!"
Guo An chuckled lightly and said, "I'll help you later and carry all these silver bars to the big ship."
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
All the Yanshan guards responded briskly.
While these people were counting and carrying the silver bars, Guo An said: "We know that you will be extremely excited when you find a silver mine.
However, our Prince Yan's Mansion has not yet attacked the Japanese country. If this matter is spread, it is very likely that others will preempt us.
Therefore, when returning this time, no matter whether they are scribes or soldiers, especially young men such as Zhu Neng and Qiu Song'er, they must keep this matter in their stomachs.
Even if you are sleeping with your wife in the middle of the night, you are not allowed to tell me about this!"
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Everyone responded quickly.
When all the silver bars were loaded onto the ship, Zhu Di, Wang You and others also walked out of the cabin.
"Your Highness, there are a total of 136 boxes of silver bullion brought back this time, including 100 boxes of good-quality silver bullion, which is 3,500 kilograms.
There are also thirty-six boxes of silver nuggets, it seems that only half of them have been refined, about fifteen hundred kilograms!"
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Zhu Di said, "This time, Guo Qing should take the lead!"
Guo An was immediately startled, "Your Highness, the ministers neither fought nor searched, how could He De be the first to take the lead?
The first contributors should be Wang Qianhu and other soldiers and generals!"
Wang You waved his hands repeatedly, "Guo Changshi, you're welcome. We brothers all know that this matter is your fault..."
"Okay!"
Zhu Di interrupted Wang You and said, "When we go back this time, we will give you a big reward together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wang You and Guo An quickly raised their hands and saluted.
"Your Highness, Tan Qianhu and the others are also back!"
At this time, Zhu Liang came to report.
Zhu Di, Guo An and others looked into the distance, and sure enough, at the foot of the mountain in the distance, groups of soldiers appeared.
Inside the ship.
Tan Tong and other hundreds of households looked at Zhu Di with surprise on their faces, "Your Highness, have you found the silver mine?"
"It's true!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
Tan Tong's eyes widened and he said, "Your Highness, where is the silver mine? The general will lead his troops to capture the silver mine immediately and ensure that the Japanese do not enter within ten miles of the silver mine!"
