Faced with Zhao Jun's ridicule, Tsuneyuki Ueda and Yuki Oe kowtowed in agreement.
"Great King, our Japanese country is small and not as vast as your country. As a king with tens of millions of people, you naturally look down on the two of us.
But in our Japanese country, at least in the northern Rikoku Island, our two families are also the dominant daimyo.
We should still be of some use to you. "
Oe Yuki lowered his head and said.
He also knew that he was being captured, and if he didn't show his value, he might lose his life, so he immediately revealed his value.
Next to him, Tsuneyuki Ueda quickly agreed: "Yes! Great King, our Ueda family can do anything for you!"
Looking at the two people, Zhao Jun touched his chin and started thinking.
After a while, Zhao Jun asked: "Where is your Kagoshima?"
The two looked at each other, and finally Oe Yuki, who was close to the north, answered: "Great King, starting from our Kagoshima and sailing northeast, it will take about half a month to reach Su Port in your country. If you go all the way If the wind is favorable, we can arrive in ten days at the earliest.”
"Su Gang?"
Zhao Jun thought for a moment and waved to Wang Huai'en to ask him to get a map of the country. Soon Wang Huai'en led someone with the map to the hall and slowly unfolded the map.
Zhao Jun quickly found the location of Su Gang on it.
It is the outlet of Sunan County to the sea and the only official port of Sunan County to the outside world.
If their northeast is Su Port, then Kagoshima should be to the north of the Japanese pirates.
According to records, this should be the sphere of influence of the six northern islands of Japan.
At this place, Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of Ishimi Yinshan in his previous life, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you ever heard of Shijian Country?"
Oe Yuki and Ueda Tsuneyuki looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, but they nodded in unison.
Zhao Jun then designated Oe Yuki to speak: "Come and tell me about Ishimi Kuni."
Oe Yuki heard this and said quickly:
"Hi! Great King, Iwami is a small country on the main island next to Hiroshima and Shimane. It has a population of only one thousand. The cultivated land in its country is sparse and most of it is barren soil and rocks. It is a land without any use value. The place.
The only good thing is that they have a small silver mine there, which can produce several thousand taels of silver every year, maintaining the operation of Iwami Country. The neighboring Hiro Country and Shimane Country are afraid that if they annex it, they will be dragged down. , so I tolerated his existence forever.
It is a famously poor country among the island countries near the north. "
There really is!
Zhao Jun was overjoyed, but asked again with a calm expression on his face: "How many years has that small silver mine been mined?"
Oe Yuki thought for a while and then replied: "It must have been almost a hundred years ago. Everyone said that the place is almost exhausted. It is estimated that it will not be long before even if no one attacks Iwami Country. Iwami Country will have to fight on its own without a source." collapsed."
It’s been a hundred years and it’s still not exhausted!
has a problem! There is definitely a problem!
Zhao Jun was suppressing excitement in his heart, but his heart was already about to jump with joy.
Yes, yes! This must be the legendary Iwami Ginzan!
It was a large silver mine, a super-large mine that once produced one-third of the world's silver mines!
Get him! Get him! Get him at all costs!
Zhao Jun's heart was beating crazily, and he secretly made up his mind.
Zhao Jun continued to ask: "How far is it from your Kagoshima to Iwami?"
He was asking for information in detail and planning the invasion route.
Although Oe Yuki wondered why the king was so interested in a poor country like Iwami, he still honestly told all the information he knew.
Through his mouth, Zhao Jun learned that it was about 700 miles from Kagoshima to Iwami.
And if you are starting from Subei County, the closest to Subei County should be Nagasaki Port.
If Nagasaki Port is captured, the journey from Nagasaki can be shortened by a hundred miles.
However, as the largest port in the Japanese country, Nagasaki also plays an important role in the Japanese country. It has always been under the direct control of Guanbai in the past dynasties.
Therefore, after taking Nagasaki and losing such an important port, Japan's Guanbai must mobilize a large army to recapture it.
It’s just that it’s just like Iwami Yinshan!
How could the Japanese own such a huge mine?
Isn't it just a fight?
Who is afraid of whom!
The hundreds of thousands of troops under my command are not vegetarians. If anyone dares to stop me from going to Shijian, I will beat the crap out of him!
boom!
Zhao Jun slammed the table, startling everyone in the hall.
Zhao Jun stood up straight and ordered Wang Huai'en: "Take them down and take a good look at them. I will need them in the future."
"promise!"
Wang Huaien nodded and waved his hand, and the Yunzhou Army officers and soldiers waiting aside immediately pulled the two of them out.
At this time, Zhao Juncai continued to give instructions: "Wang Banban, call all the senior military officials in Yunzhou County and the senior officials in Yunzhou County to gather in the conference hall!"
"promise!"
Wang Huaien was shocked. He had gathered so many people?
The last time the prince took the initiative to summon these people was when he was developing poison and the Tatars launched a massive attack. Did something happen again?
Although he was confused, he did not dare to waste time and rushed out at a trot.
After he left, Ye Yin approached Zhao Jun, who could not hide the excitement in his heart, and asked with confusion: "My lord, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
Qing'er on the side also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I just shocked the slave family!"
Zhao Jun smiled, pointed to the place of the Japanese country on the map and asked: "Do you know why I kept asking them questions about the Ishiki Kingdom just now?"
The two women shook their heads, and Zhao Jun explained excitedly: "Don't underestimate Shi Jianguo. I'm sure there is a super big silver mine here!"
"Super big silver mine?"
The two women looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Ye Yin still had the same straightforward temperament and asked directly: "How big can it be?"
Zhao Jun chuckled and stretched out his hand to make a six sign.
When Ye Yin saw it, she was a little surprised and said: "Sixty thousand taels? That's it?"
Since becoming Princess Yun, Ye Yin's horizons have gradually broadened. In the past, tens of thousands taels at home was an astronomical figure.
Now he no longer takes these tens of thousands taels seriously.
After all, she was in charge of a royal palace, and she was still a princess. He could check all the property movements in the palace.
Whether it is Feiyun Trading Company, the dividends from other businesses of the palace, or even the expenditures of the palace, none of them are worth hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver.
The amount of money that has passed through her hands is already tens of millions, and she has long looked down on these tens of thousands taels.
Zhao Jun shook his head, and then said with unconcealed excitement in his tone: "Six million taels of silver every year! You can't dig out that kind in a hundred years!"
"What!"
This time it was Ye Yin and Qing'er's turn to be shocked to the point of opening their mouths.
Then both of them showed excited expressions.
If there are more than six million taels of silver a year, wouldn't that be six million taels in a hundred years?
sky!
