Wang Wenzuo took the pair of wristbands, looked at the candlelight, and bit them again, confirming that the pair of wristbands were indeed made of gold. The quality was good, but the production process was much worse. It was Baekje. The ordinary craftsmen around him were inferior. When he heard Dinghui's words, he smiled indifferently and returned the wristband: "Ask him for me, where does the gold of this wristband come from?"
"Where does the gold come from?" Monobe Lianxiong saw Wang Wenzuo return the wristband and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Doesn't the other party want his property?
"Don't you know the origin of this gold?" Dinghui asked when he saw Monobu Lianxiong was silent.
"No, no!" Mononobe Renxiong responded quickly: "Of course I know that the gold sand used to make these wristbands was obtained by merchants from the Ezo people of the North! There are also seal skins and eagle feathers."
"Northern Ezo people?" Wang Wenzuo frowned. In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Japan was a country with backward technology, sparse population, and lack of resources. Its people were not enough to survive, and its land was not enough to live in. Therefore, this defeated country was allowed to maintain its independent status. But what the world doesn't know is that on this barren and barren archipelago lies the world's leading gold and silver mine. According to records from later generations, the famous Iwami Silver Mountain accounted for about one-third of the world's output in its heyday. In addition, there is also the Sado Island Gold and Silver Mountain. At its peak during the Edo Shogunate period, it could produce 400 gold coins a year. Kilogram, 40 tons of silver. As long as you can master one of them, your financial resources can rival that of a country. However, the Ezo people from the northern region mentioned by Mononobe Renxiong are also sand gold, so I am afraid they are not these two places.
"Ask them both, have they ever heard of the names of Sado Island and Mount Iwami?"
Faced with Wang Wenzuo's question, Monobe Lianxiong and Shoujun Oishi both looked embarrassed and shook their heads repeatedly. Wang Wenzuo was not surprised. Before that, he had asked Dinghui and other Japanese captives about these two places during a chat, and tried to find these two famous gold and silver mines in later generations, but found nothing. It seems that the area controlled by Yamato at this time is far less vast than that of later generations. I am afraid that these two places are not within the scope of its control, or the names of these two places were formed by later generations and were called other names at that time. I will definitely not be able to ask questions like this. . It seems that if you want to get these two gold and silver mines, you must find another way, but before that, it would not hurt to inquire more about the customs and customs of Japan at that time. Thinking of this, Wang Wenzuo asked casually.
Mononobe Renxiong and Morijun Oishi carefully answered Wang Wenzuo's questions. At first, they were cautious and respectful, fearing that they might say something wrong and annoy the person in front of them. However, as the conversation deepened, they gradually discovered Wang Wenzuo's character. Gentle, without the arrogant and domineering look that a winner should have, I couldn't help but secretly feel happy that my life under this person would not be difficult.
At this time, a man came in from outside the tent and whispered a few words in Wang Wenzuo's ear. A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Wang Wenzuo's face.
"You mean Zhou Liucheng begged for surrender?"
"That's right! The Governor-General has asked me to join the army, please hurry up and discuss it!" The person with a smile on his face said: "Please join the army and go quickly, don't keep the Governor-General waiting for too long!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo stood up without thinking: "Zen Master Dinghui, you stay here with the two of you, I'll go see the governor first!"
Tang Jun commander's tent.
Liu Renyuan was wearing his latest scarlet brocade robe and a crimson embossed turban. He was sitting at the head of the crowd, with a smile already covering his cheeks. He whispered a few words to Liu Rengui beside him and patted him. Sun Renyuan's arm on the other side burst into hearty laughter.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! I thought it would be a hard fight, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, so easy! This victory is like fruit falling from the tree! It's all thanks to General Sun!"
"Yes!" Liu Rengui also laughed loudly, without his usual modesty: "A few months ago we were still thinking about whether to withdraw our troops back to the country via Silla, but now the whole situation has been completely reversed. At this rate Look, the Baekje rebellion can be put down before autumn!"
"Almost!" Liu Renyuan's laughter became louder and louder: "Fuyu Fengzhang was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled. His reputation was ruined. There is no leader among the thieves. As long as he calls us in the name of Fuyu Long, we, the Tang Dynasty, can win without a fight! "
The curtain opened and Wang Wenzuo walked in. Before he could see clearly what was going on in the tent, Liu Renyuan had already walked down from the front seat, rushed forward in three steps and grabbed Wang Wenzuo's arm: "Sanlang, if It was not your plan. How could the two thieves Buyeo Fengzhang and Onimuro Boksin kill each other? It was also your idea to send Buyeo Long to Baekje. In my opinion, you have made the greatest contribution this time. Come on, come on , come, sit here!"
Wang Wenzuo was pulled by his arm to the long table and forced to sit down next to Liu Rengui. Liu Renyuan smiled and patted Wang Wenzuo on the shoulder: "Sanlang, please tell me how to handle the affairs in this city!"
Wang Wenzuo moved his butt uneasily. The chair below seemed to have thorns. There were more than just surrendered soldiers in Zhouliu City. As the nest of the rebels, there must be a lot of property in the city. In theory, these things belong to the imperial court. , but in fact the power of disposal belongs to the winner, to be precise, it belongs to the senior generals of the winning side. How to distribute these properties is an extremely troublesome matter. If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap. From ancient times to the present, how many famous generals have not He fell in front of a powerful enemy, but fell under the impeachment of the censor because of the spoils of war. (Shi Wansui, Li Jing and Lan Yu tearfully commented)
"The surrendered troops in the city should leave the city first, hand over their weapons and armor, and then deal with them according to the regulations! As for the rest -" At this point, Wang Wenzuo stopped and looked at Du Shuang on the side: "According to the usual practice, it should be in the army The power and responsibility of the long history!”
"Oh! I'm so happy, but I forgot about this incident!" Liu Renyuan patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Wang Canjun will handle the troops coming out of the city, and Du Changshi will be responsible for the equipment in the city's treasury!"
"I obey my command!" Du Shuang glanced at Wang Wenzuo with some surprise. Facing such a huge temptation, he could resist not reaching out. This is not only something that can be done by intellect and bravery, not many sergeants and officials in the court can do it. What he did is truly extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, there is one more important matter!" Liu Rengui said: "We must offer a reward for the capture of Fuyu Fengzhang, and we must not let him escape!"
"Not bad!" Liu Renyuan slapped his thigh fiercely: "If it hadn't been for the governor's reminder, I almost forgot about this important matter. Du Changshi, quickly drafted a document and offered a reward for the capture of Fuyu Fengzhang. No matter he is dead or alive, he will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of silk and twenty dollars. Thousands! I don’t know who is lucky enough to get this huge reward!”
