different warring states of japan

Edo Castle, residence hall.

Yiyin looked at the copper ore in the plate and couldn't figure out why, so he touched his nose and asked.

"Is this copper ore mined from the Ashio Mountains?"

Under him were Okuma Asahi, Ozo Changan, and Ina Chuji. Ina Chuji bowed excitedly and answered.

"Hi! This is the first batch of copper ore from Ashio Copper Mountain. Please taste it, sage."

Yiyin is even more embarrassed. He knows nothing about copper mines. What should he say?

Ina Chuji was overly excited, but the others present were not stupid. Shima Katsuo, who was sitting next to him with his belly in his arms, pointed at the ore and came to Yoshiyin's rescue.

"I don't know much about mining. Can any adult explain to me whether this piece of copper ore is good or bad?"

Ina Chuji was suddenly reminded by Shima Katsu, and he immediately reacted and sweated.

To death, I almost embarrassed the big boss.

She quickly remedied it.

“The ore from Ashio Copper Mountain is excellent, the best I have ever seen in my life.

Sage, Lord Shima, please see, the red color of this ore shows that it is extremely pure.

Generally speaking, copper ore contains many impurities and has colors such as green, blue, yellow, and gray. Only the purest copper will appear red, so it is also called red copper.

Red copper is soft and has strong plasticity. It does not need to be smelted or purified, and copper coins can be made directly from cast mother coins. The copper coins produced will never be worse than Yongle Tongbao, or even better. "

Yiyin touched his chin, nodded with satisfaction, and said.

"Yes, the purity is high enough and it is easy to make money, so the technical requirements will be relatively low. You only need a sophisticated mother coin template to make copper coins that are not weaker than Yongle Tongbao.

Inaji, I didn’t expect you to excavate the Copper Mountain so quickly. It’s really hard work. "

Ina Chuji said happily.

"The saint doesn't know something.

Because the purity of this red copper is too high, it is mostly grown in shallow open-air ore deposits, so it is not mixed with impurities from other mountain ores.

I picked up copper ore for the first time. When I saw the red color of the ore, I concluded that the deposit must be shallow on the surface and easy to mine.

Therefore, I sent more people to explore the deep and shallow mountains, and sure enough I discovered Tongshan.

The reason why no one knew about the existence of Tongshan before was simply because it was difficult to get deep into the mountains and forests, so no one knew about its existence.

Now that I have a clear target, I can easily dig it out. "

Yiyin laughed.

"There is no need to be humble. You have discovered the treasures that others have not discovered. This is your ability."

Dao Shengmeng on the side joked.

"Saint, are you happy that Inaji has accomplished such a great feat? Don't you want to give me something as a reward?"

Shima Shengmeng was also 37 weeks pregnant at this time, and his face was full of motherly luster, which made Yiyin feel warm in his heart, and he would not refute this woman who was about to give birth to his child.

He doted on.

"I asked you to take a good rest, but you came out to listen, and now you want to interrupt, I really can't defeat you.

So according to you, how should I reward her? "

Daosheng covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Of course it's a big credit and a big reward."

Yiyin smiled and pointed at Dao Shengmeng.

"After what you said, I don't dare to underestimate the hero, Ina Chuji."

"Hi! I'm here!"

"Tell me, how many copper coins can this Copper Mountain cast for me? Think about it carefully. This is related to the size of your reward."

Yoshigan joked and didn't think much about it, but his words embarrassed Ina Chuji and made this honest technician suddenly stuck.Seeing that Ina Chuji was speechless, Yoshigan smiled.

"I shouldn't be joking about serious business, I think I'm scaring you. Just say it, don't worry, I won't blame you if I'm wrong."

Ina Chuji said solemnly.

"Saint, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's actually Ashio Copper Mountain, that's a mountain of copper. I don't know how much copper is hidden in the bottomless caves in that towering mountain.

But I predict that if there are sufficient manpower and smooth transportation, after the mining process matures, we should be able to produce one million jins of copper a year. "

Yiyin was stunned for a moment and asked again.

"How much did you just say? One million catties per year? Which catty?"

Ina Chuji's voice was low, and he seemed to be shocked and unsure of the numbers he calculated.

"Weighing in the Ming Dynasty will be one million catties."

Yiyin sucked in a breath of cold air.

The number of mingjin is close to that of modern China, which is more than 500 grams. One million mingjin means [-] tons!
Five hundred tons per year of pure copper of extremely high purity that can be directly made into money?How is this different from a money printing machine?
Not only Yiyin was surprised, but all the ladies sitting there were also in disbelief.

Ozo Changan and Ina Chuji work together in the Samurai Giri Promotion Association, fearing that their partner will talk nonsense and cause trouble.

she said quickly.

"Inaji, when speaking in front of a saint, you must be well-founded and not make random guesses."

Ina Chuji sighed.

"I didn't believe it at first, and after repeated calculations many times, I dared to report it to the saint.

This is the specific data I calculated, please ask the saint to take a look. "

Ina Chuji took out a document from his arms and gave it to Kamaojigo who was accompanying him with both hands.

After receiving the document from the Pu Sheng clan, Yoshihiro read it ten lines at a time.

He couldn't understand most of the data, but the final forecast figure of one million kilograms of annual mining volume, which could produce 20 copper coins, made him a little confused.

20 guan is a high-quality copper coin such as Yongle Tongbao. It has high market recognition and good liquidity, and its actual value is far more than 20 guan.

The world is a pie in the sky, with an extra 20 high-quality copper coins every year for nothing, which makes Yiyin so happy that it is hard to believe this fact.

But the reality is actually more exaggerated than Ina Chuji's speculation.

Ashio Copper Mountain is one of the richest mines on the treasure island of the island nation.

Historically, it has been mined for 200 years, with the highest annual output reaching [-] tons of copper, which is double the [-] tons calculated by Inai Chuji.

Moreover, the amount of coins calculated by Ina Chuji was based on the weight of pure copper coins.

In fact, ancient copper coins were generally mixed with 40.00% to [-]% of catalpa, lead, and other metals, and the actual amount of copper used was even less.

Even if the new copper coins are as sophisticated as Yongle Tongbao and have a high copper content, then 20 tons of them will not only make 25 guan, at least more than [-] guan.

The Ashio Copper Mountain, which produces 50 tons of copper annually, can actually bring at least [-] high-quality copper coins to the Bank of Japan, and it does so every year.

The island nation in history discovered Ashio Copper Mountain and Besshi Copper Mountain around the end of the Warring States Period, and conducted extensive mining.

In the next 200 years, the island country not only no longer had to import copper coins from China, but instead sent a large amount of copper coins to China.

China not only imported a large amount of copper coins from the island countries, but also imported a large amount of copper from the island countries.The copper in the island country is of high purity and is praised as red copper by the Chinese Empire. It has become a major source of official Chinese coins.

Although Yoshigan did not know the huge reserves of Ashio Copper Mountain at this time, the data reported to him by Ina Chuji already made him satisfied, and he did not know how to spend so much money.

What Yoshihiro didn't expect was that when Ashio Copper Mountain actually mined and minted money, before he had time to worry about how to spend it, a huge financial crisis would sweep across Kanto.

Ashio Copper Mountain will become the anchor of Kanto's economy and help him survive this crisis.

When time passes, looking back, maybe this was destiny.

God wanted the Shiba family to conquer the world, and money dropped from the sky to help the saint stabilize the situation. After experiencing all this, the Kanto warrior family naturally strengthened their respect for Shiba's divine power.

One drink and one peck, is it a pre-determination.
