A stone can see a mountain of silver.
Since it was captured by the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Dongwo Yinshan.
Since the Silver Mountain is isolated overseas, in order to facilitate mining and transportation, the navy has always been doing the silver mining.
The navy stationed troops here and initially recruited local Japanese to mine silver mines. Later, as the Japanese population gradually decreased, they had to start buying slaves from Southeast Asia, and now they are buying slaves from the West to mine silver mines.
Therefore, the current people who mine silver in Dongwa Yinshan are mainly divided into three groups. Some are the original Japanese, and they rank second in number. The largest number of slaves were slaves from Southeast Asia, and finally the Kunlun slaves from the West.
The entire island where Silver Mountain is located is under a tight naval blockade. Even if Yin Yong comes with the fleet in person, he must stop the ship outside the warning circle and transfer to the Navy's ship before he can land on the island.
"Your Highness, this is Liang Kun who is stationed at Dongwa Yinshan." Yin Yong pointed to Liang Kun, looked at Zhu Zhanji and introduced them to each other: "This is His Highness the Grand Sun of the New Ming Dynasty."
Liang Kun glanced at Yin Yong meaningfully, without saying anything, he directly cupped his fists and saluted Zhu Zhanji: "General Liang Kun, I have met His Highness."
Zhu Zhanji burst out laughing and waved his hands: "General Liang, you are so polite. I have heard about the reputation of Dongwa Silver Mountain for a long time. I passed by this place today and I was curious to come and have a look. I wonder if the general can make it easier?"
Liang Kun also laughed and agreed, joking: "If you are an ordinary person, of course not. But since you are Your Highness, it will naturally be unobstructed. Your Highness, please!"
After speaking, Liang Kun stretched out his hand to signal to get out of the way.
When Yin Yong saw that Liang Kun was giving him face, he also smiled and handed him over: "Thank you, Brother Liang, for being so accommodating."
Liang Kun casually punched Yin Yong on the shoulder.
"My brother, why are you so polite?"
After the punch, Yin Yong's body was as stable as a rock without any shaking at all.
Seeing that Yin Yong took the punch calmly, Liang Kun revealed the matter nonchalantly. Leaving Yin Yong behind, he took two quick steps to Zhu Zhanji's left and said, "Your Highness, please come this way."
Yin Yong looked at Liang Kun who was enthusiastically leading the way for Zhu Zhanji, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. He gritted his teeth to suppress the pain in his shoulder, and followed with his usual expression.
He couldn't show his strange color in front of Liang Kun, otherwise Liang Kun would see it. Could it be that he couldn't even take a punch? Haha, then Liang Kun would have to punch him several times.
Come and drink wine.
Even if Liang Kun was invited to drink, Liang Kun would laugh at him for more than half a year. If those old brothers knew about this, where would he put his Yin Yong face?
If you don't do it right, you will be laughed at by them for the rest of your life!
Zhu Zhanji watched all the way, but he was extremely shocked by the process of mining silver mines.
Cleaning mountains and soil, blasting mines with gunpowder, rail transportation, soot blowing and smelting...
After a set of processes, the original ore was smelted into large snow-white silver ingots.
When Zhu Zhanji saw boxes of neatly arranged large silver ingots, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up one.
After warming his hands, Zhu Zhanji turned his head to Liang Kun in surprise and asked, "Is this just smelted?"
"Exactly." Liang Kun nodded with a smile.
Zhu Zhanji picked up a tablet again and touched it lightly with both hands.
"Ding~~~"
The sound is crisp and melodious, lasting for a long time, which is a symbol of the extremely high purity of silver.
"What a high quality!" After admiring, Zhu Zhanji put down the silver ingots. He held two fifty-two ingots of silver in his hands at the same time. After a long time, he felt a little tired.
Zhu Zhanji walked around the bank and looked at the place inside and out.
Then he asked Liang Kun: "General Liang, I wonder how much silver can be mined from the Dongwa Yin Mountain every month?"
"This..." As soon as these words came out, Liang Kun hesitated and did not answer immediately, but looked at Yin Yong.
Yin Yong's expression suddenly changed. He thought Zhu Zhanji was just curious and came to take a look. Considering that he is also a relative of the emperor, let him come
It seems that there is no problem.
But this question is a bit too much, and involves the secrets of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not absolutely impossible to tell Zhu Zhanji, this is not news that can be disclosed easily.
"Your Highness... you are tired after walking such a long way, aren't you?" Yin Yong quickly wanted to change the subject, "Liang Kun prepared a banquet to welcome His Highness, and also invited His Highness to show his appreciation... .”
Since the incident had to be caused by him, Yin Yong couldn't escape. He had to take the initiative to take over the responsibility of the family.
"Yes, yes, there are some things here that are quite unique. Although Your Highness has eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, I'm afraid I haven't seen them before. Why don't you go and try them now?" Liang Kun also quickly agreed. He didn't want to tell Zhu Zhanji.
But Zhu Zhanji refused to accept their invitation.
Please turned a deaf ear, looked at the two of them with a smile, and insisted, "What? Can't you say it?"
Of course you can’t tell, but you still ask after you know it!
Yin Yong laughed dryly, feeling a little dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanji for deliberately pretending to be confused. But now that the matter had come to this, he understood that it was impossible not to say anything, so he could only look at Liang Kun with apologetic eyes.
Liang Kun glared at him, turned around and smiled at Zhu Zhanji: "What did your Highness say? This is not a big deal..."
Zhu Zhanji didn't speak, but looked at him with a faint smile.
After coughing twice, Liang Kun saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to say: "There is not much silver that can be mined... not necessarily. There are more and less, about 150,000 to 200,000 taels per month. Sometimes. There will be more when you encounter rich ores, and less when you encounter poor ores."
Even the same silver mine has different silver content, with more or less unevenly distributed. Zhu Zhanji naturally understood this.
He nodded, recognizing Liang Kun's answer.
He showed a satisfied smile and said: "That year, it can exceed two million taels, which is not bad."
not bad?
Liang Kun even doubted his ears. The Dongwa Silver Mine was the largest silver mine in the Ming Dynasty, and none of the silver mines in Nanyang and Continent could compare with it.
The key is that the Dongwa Silver Mine is very conducive to mining, and the cost of mining is extremely low.
Liang Kun, who guards the East Japan Silver Mine, is of course very satisfied with the place and even a little proud of it. Now I heard that Zhu Zhanji just said "not bad", of course I felt uncomfortable.
Zhu Zhanji didn't think too much. After finishing speaking, he left here with his hands behind his back.
When Yin Yong saw Zhu Zhanji walking away, he clenched his fists towards Liang Kun with a mocking smile on his face: "Brother Liang, I'm sorry..."
Liang Kun frowned, but his mind was not on Yin Yong. He waved his hand casually and dismissed the matter.
He said to himself: "What does this mean, Your Highness?"
"Ah? What is Brother Liang talking about?" Yin Yong was just glad that Liang Kun didn't blame him, when he suddenly heard his words and subconsciously asked.
Liang Kun looked at him and asked seriously: "Brother Yin, what do you think of the Dongwa Silver Mine?"
Yin Yong immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I can tell you that Dongwo Silver Mine is the best in the world and everyone knows it."
"But why did His Highness only say it was good?" Liang Kun was puzzled.
