Yan Ling did remember the locations of several gold and silver mines. After all, when he was playing the game, he did a lot of research on Japan's gold and silver mines.
Yes, this is also the reason why Yan Ling can be like a prophet, because this is a game after all, and it can be exited to check information!
Of course, the technology tree can only be built step by step. Entering commands for certain recipes is strictly prohibited. You can only give the craftsmen at that time a research direction and then look at their capabilities, but you can't just end up yourself. After all, if we really want to do it, soap glass flintlock steam engine, this game is too simple. The Qing army came to Jiangnan to look for trouble, right?
Therefore, Yan Ling did not do much research on some cross-era items.
However, Yan Ling knows a lot about geography!
But he really can't keep those gold mines and so on! The Iwami Silver Mine can still be discussed. Although the daimyo will definitely want to fight for it after learning of its existence, they do not know how brilliant this mine will be in the future. Such high output may one day disappear, and it is not possible to risk it. kind. But once the gold mine comes out, the eyes of the famous people will be red!
So he finally chose the silver mine.
And those experienced miners quickly found the veins under the soil.
"Sir, there are mineral veins, and it seems to be a big mine!" When the miner's supervisor found Yan Ling, he was stammering.
Yan Ling nodded. This was not beyond his expectation. Forty-nine years later, the Japanese could find this mine on their own. There was no reason that the Ming Dynasty, which had more advanced technology, could not.
"Don't mine yet." He urged. "For the time being, we will mine the small silver mines. After a while, the news will pass, and then we will start mining officially."
"Follow your orders!" The steward's eyes were filled with stars. He no longer simply obeyed orders, but respected him for this man from Nanjing.
After all, the other party just took one look and insisted that there was a big mine here, and they actually dug it out. This ability can be described as miraculous.
Yan Ling left a garrison of 1,500 people in the area and left Japan. Later, the Governor-General of Luzon would establish a base there in accordance with the terms of the treaty and publicize the existence of this port.
With such a tax-free port, it is conceivable that Japanese businessmen will flock to it and this will also be a considerable income.
And his order to stay out of the limelight was extremely correct.
Masahiro Ouchi was not a fool. He also suspected that there was something fishy in the silver mine, so he sent people to observe it secretly for a period of time.
After all, Yan Ling's excuse was to use the port to do business, so he couldn't stop the merchants from coming and going. Masahiro Ouchi's men took advantage of this and sneaked in secretly.
However, a certain amount of silver is indeed shipped out of it every day, but this amount is very small, and it is basically equivalent to the output of the silver mines during the reign of the great internal affairs.
If you go further inside, you won't be able to enter. The mine has been sealed by the Luzon Army and entry is strictly prohibited.
However, just relying on some silver shipped out is enough to judge some things.
After discovering that there was indeed no problem, Masahiro Ouchi withdrew his manpower.
But what he didn't know was that his spies were unable to hide from the hidden dragon spies brought by Yan Ling. Their identities were quickly exposed and they were already under surveillance.
After the spies were taken back, and after waiting for a while to confirm that no one was observing, the mining of the veins officially began.
Countless ores were dug out of the rock formations, and the miners were blinded by the smelting white silver.
Moreover, these miners also brought with them the more advanced smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the efficiency was higher than that of Japan!
When the first ship of smelted silver was shipped to Ningbo, everyone in the Yan family was shocked.
A full 30,000 taels of silver, this is just the mining result of hundreds of miners before various measures have been fully completed!
A clan elder touched the cart after cart of silver with trembling hands, his hands trembling: "It's only been a month, it's only been a month... Such a large-scale mining volume, even the few from the nearby government There may not be so many silver mines in total."
"Sir, you are so amazing. You have brought such huge benefits to our family in just one trip."
"God has really blessed me Yan!"
The other clan elders also looked at Yin Che and then at Yan Ling in astonishment and fanaticism.
When they learned that Yan Ling had mastered a silver mine overseas, although they were happy, they were not very excited. After all, they knew the mining volume of those silver mines in Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this is also a very lucrative business, but it doesn't make them feel too excited. After all, the Yan family is also a big business.
So when they learned about the huge profits, the elders couldn't even believe their ears and suspected that they had been fooled by this adult.
Is this kid really fooling us? Even the silver mines in Yunnan do not have such a production method. This is simply digging money out of the ground!
But those carts of silver cannot be faked! Their suspicions were swept away by the facts, leaving only excitement and excitement!
This is truly true and will increase the family's development speed by one or even several levels!
After all, China's silver production is indeed not high, and it is mainly concentrated in Yunnan, while Japan is at the junction of tectonic plates, so it is relatively rich in gold and silver mines.
Moreover, Yan Ling also knew that this was far from reaching the limit of Iwami Silver Field.
As far as he knew, at its peak, Iwami Silver Field could produce thirty-eight tons of silver a year, that is, one million taels!
This number even exceeded the total amount of silver mined in the entire country in one year during the Ming Dynasty.
You can imagine how terrifying the profits will be if you fully exploit it! At least double or triple the current monthly mining volume, there will be absolutely no problem!
Yan Ling immediately ordered another batch of miners and tools to be sent from the mainland, and mining must be accelerated!
Under such circumstances, the output of Iwami Silver Mine reached 50,000 in the second month, 60,000 in the third month, and continued to rise steadily thereafter.
This is a huge amount of income, and compared to the profit, the investment is completely negligible, it is simply a loss-free profit!
All of a sudden, silver came all the way south!
The clan elders in charge of the finances all laughed. The steady inflow of silver made the Yan family's wallet rich again, and all aspects were developing at full speed!
Once you have money, your back becomes stronger.
Yan Ling asked the Luzon Governor's Mansion to recruit troops again, expanding the total strength to 6,000, and also trained a cavalry team of 800. If there is chaos in Japan in the future, such a force can completely determine one side.
Officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas all fell under the silver bullet offensive, and turned a blind eye to some slightly outrageous behaviors of the Yan family.
