Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 268 Iwami Silver Mountain
Dongying is not a big place, but the road is much slower than that of Dongying. Moreover, from Osaka to Datian City, it is largely a mountain road, so the speed is slower.

On the way, the villagers in Dongying suddenly saw such an imposing carriage, and they all looked sideways, not knowing who was sitting in it.

Zhu Zhanchang's security work is very tight, but fortunately now he doesn't need to worry about his own safety. Ashikaga Yoshichi won't take action against him, and neither will the emperor. The only thing to worry about is Zhu Yunwen, who is hiding in the dark. That is, Emperor Komatsu.

However, according to Zhu Zhan's own information, Emperor Komatsu has no actual rights, and Ashikaga Yoshichi will not give him such great rights.

Zhu Zhanchang opened the curtain and looked at the scenery of the fields in Dongying. Because of its special natural environment, the scenery of mountains, rivers and rivers in Dongying is very good. Even though there are many earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis are frequent, but overall it is very livable. .

"Yeah, why did it start by the well in broad daylight?" Zhu Zhanchang looked at the fragrant scene near a well not far away and asked inexplicably.

Yixiu Zongchun rode a horse and explained the local customs to Zhu Zhanyi: "Your Highness, you don't know something. Don't look at the peace in Dongying now. More than 30 years ago, it was still in the period when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were divided. Years of wars have consumed Dongying's population. In order to promote population reproduction, General Ashikaga issued a kimono law."

"What does the kimono decree mean?" Zhu Zhanchang was puzzled.

"General Ashikaga improved the kimono to make it easy to take off, the one you can wear anytime and anywhere between production and labor, and then promote the birth of new children. This measure has been very effective over the years, so the population of Toyo is constantly increasing. "

Zhu Zhanchang was speechless, it really suits local conditions.

"And not only that, our way of life has continued for many years." Ikyu Zongchun continued.

"Do species?" Zhu Zhanchang was puzzled again, how come there are so many strange operations in a place where he lived a good life.

Yixiu Zongchun sighed and said, "We Eastern Ying people are not as strong and strong as those of the Great Ming Dynasty, but we are like the Great Ming Dynasty."

The meaning of cultivating seeds is to borrow seeds. Of course, it is not the kind of money on the telephone pole to ask for children.

It is recorded in the "Qingbo Magazine" of the Song Dynasty: In the country of Wa, there were three or 20 people in a group on a boat, and the women were sent out.

And the taller and stronger Central Plains people borrowed seeds to strengthen the descendants of the Eastern Ying, and they continued this behavior for an unknown number of generations.

It is a magical brain circuit, and it is also extremely unconfident of the nation.

Yixiu Zongchun continued: "A few days ago, Your Highness, your three Dongying geisha are the same reason. Your Highness is tall, heroic, and good-looking. They are the type that Dongying women like most."

I wiped it, Zhu Zhanchang's back was cold, and the people of Dongying actually wanted to borrow their own seeds, but when I thought of the Sanying battle against Lu Bu that night, although I stepped on the floor oil and drove at high speed, it was fortunate that I was an excellent car. Repairman, Zhu Zhanchang is still very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of direct injection in the cylinder.

The advantage of direct injection in the cylinder is that the injection pressure is further increased, making the fuel atomization more detailed, and the feeling of pushing down the back with one foot of the accelerator is full, one word, cool.

But direct injection in the cylinder is easy to leak oil. Fortunately, Zhu Zhanchang did not choose direct injection in the cylinder at that time.

Don't worry too much.

"Master Yixiu, how long does it take to get to Daejeon?"

"According to our pace, it will take at least five days." It has been seven days, but the speed of the group is not fast, so it is expected that it will take some time.

"Your Highness, why do you care so much about Daejeon City?"

"Because your General Ashikaga Yoshichi gave me the port of Daejeon City." Zhu Zhan said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanchang's understatement made the monk Ikyu extremely surprised. How could Ashikaga Yoshichi give a port to the people of Daming? What happened in the middle?

Yixiu Zongchun didn't dare to ask directly, for fear of Zhu Zhan's suspicion.

But Zhu Zhanchang said to himself, "Because I gave him ten steam merchant ships and permission to manufacture steam ships in the future."

Yixiu Zongchun was stunned and could not speak: "This...this...this..."

"Are you surprised?"

Yixiu Zongchun recovered his emotions: "I just heard that Daming did not allow any country to have a steam engine. Once it is owned by any means, it will be regarded as an enemy of Daming. I didn't expect His Highness to allow us to have a steam engine."

"Are we friends!" Zhu Zhanchang said with a smile.

But Yixiu Zong's pure instinct felt that things couldn't be so simple. Zhu Zhanchang or the relationship between Daming and Dongying was not that good. It was obviously unreasonable to give Dongying such a national weapon as a steamship.

"Master Yixiu, are you practicing Mahayana Buddhism or Theravada Buddhism?" Zhu Zhanchang suddenly asked.

"His Royal Highness, the little monk is practicing Mahayana Buddhism." Buddhism in Dongying was introduced from China, so many of them were influenced by China.

"Your Highness, do you also study Buddhism?"

"I have an old friend who is a member of Buddhism, Master Yao Guangxiao, so I know a little bit."

"Master Daoyan's name is taboo, and I have also heard of it."

Zhu Zhanchang muttered to himself: "The Theravada Buddhism is based on self-improvement and liberation. The Mahayana Buddhism is to save countless sentient beings to the other side. It is very difficult. Master Yixiu, do you think there is really a Buddha who can save sentient beings? "

Yixiu clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, there are still disasters and sufferings in the world, and the Buddha has not yet become a Buddha."

"High, high, high!"

Hei Snake Ji, who was riding a horse, asked with great interest, "Your Highness, where is this height?"

"I don't understand, but I think it makes sense, that's Gao." Zhu Zhanchang laughed.

Yixiu Zongchun also laughed: "It's really interesting to talk to His Highness. His Highness is a person of outstanding literary talent. There are poems in Dongying these days."

This is a question that Yixiu has been asking every day these days. Zhu Zhanchang was annoyed by him, but people came here for his literary talent.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanchang plans to come to the last song.

Since Yixiu Zongchun is a native of Dongying, then use the words of Dongying people to perfunctory... Well, no flickering... It is not right to write a poem.

"Master Yixiu, when I came to Dongying, I always saw the blue sky in Dongying, so I thought of a sentence. Although it is not a poem, I like it very much. If you want to hear it, I will say it."

"Blessed is the little monk today."

Zhu Zhanchang coughed and said, "The sky is actually colorless. It didn't deceive you, but its own eyes deceived him."

Where does this come from? This comes from the famous saying of Aizen Soyousuke written by Kubo, the author of the anime belt poet and death god.

Yixiu Zongchun recited this sentence over and over again, and suddenly recited it again in Dongying language.

Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face, and for a while there was no paper, so he took out a brush that looked dirty, dipped it on his tongue twice, made it wet, and wrote this poem on his cassock.

"His Royal Highness is worthy of being the number one talent in the world appointed by His Majesty the Great Emperor. He has only come to Dongying for more than ten days, and he can write poetry in the form of Dongying without even learning the Dongying language. He is really a genius, a genius."

Zhu Zhanchang is stupid, isn't it a coincidence?

After Yixiu learned that Zhu Zhanchang was not a mere appearance on this day, he respected Zhu Zhanchang even more. In the next interaction, Zhu Zhanchang also felt that Yixiu Zongchun was very interesting.

Although there are few taboos of Dongying monks, there are few people like him who are not taboo at all, and the pornography is first-class, and all the content will be blocked. Those guards who like to listen to meaty jokes will follow every day when they are free. Yixiu listened to him tell the latest meat jokes, and then he can apply what he has learned to tease the people of the Qing Dynasty.

He always laughs loudly, and seems to have a detached mentality beyond the world, but he is also full of meaty jokes, vulgar and vulgar, he loves the common people and does not want to trample on any flowers and plants, but when he eats meat, he eats the most and the most delicious .

Human beings have two sides, there is compassion in his heart, and there is cruelty and bloodthirsty in his heart. He just shows everything unscrupulously.

It is him who worships Buddha and recites sutras every day, he who eats meat and drinks, he is unbearable from the vulgar, and he is also transcendental. Everything he sees is his id, but whatever he sees is not his id.

No. On the afternoon of the 15th day, with red clouds in the green hills, warm sun and gentle wind down the hills, Zhu Zhanqian lazily moved his body.

"His Royal Highness, Shi Jianshan has arrived."

When Zhu Zhanchang heard the words, he got out of the carriage and looked around. It was green mountains and green fields. The surrounding natural environment was very beautiful, and there were villages in the distance. .

Although it is said that there are treasures under the Shijian Mountain in Dongying, and there are records that silver mines were dug here in the 2nd year of Yanqing (early [-]th century), many people who came here later came back without success without any harvest.

Although this legend has been around for so many years, few people have come here to dig for silver. It is only when the elderly tell stories to their children and grandchildren that they often talk about a silver monster at the foot of Iwami Mountain. It is covered in silver and uses a pickaxe. You can drop a few taels with one tap, and if you can find him, you can get a whole mountain of silver.

"Your Highness, won't you listen to that rumor?" Yixiu Zongchun asked curiously.

"What rumor?"

"The rumor of Yinshan."

Zhu Zhanchang laughed: "Yes, in case it really exists, if this is a big silver mountain, it will be a huge amount of wealth."

"His Royal Highness is just a rumored story. If it really existed, it would have been discovered long ago."

Zhu Zhanchang disagreed. Before Dongying was in the chaos of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the population was thin, the productivity was weak, and the tools were poor, so Iwami Silver Mountain was not fully excavated.

But it will be different when Daming takes over the place. We have advanced tools, huge labor force, and steam engine to fully excavate the silver mines hidden here.

You must know the silver mines buried under Iwami Ginzan. From the 16th century to the first half of the 17th century, the silver in Iwami Ginzan accounted for about one-third of the world's silver production, a full one-third. It's all money if you dig it. .

That is my infrastructure fund, scientific research fund, and the money for building a house in the palace of the Prince of Zhujiang County.

Check the topography first, and it will be smoother when the time comes to start the construction.

I looked around with great interest. It looked like an ordinary mountainous area. After staying for a day, I rushed to Daejeon City.

Iwami Silver Mountain is very close to Daejeon City, and when Zhu Zhanchang arrived, he got news from Zhang Xianqi.

……

On the tenth day after Zhu Zhanchang left Osaka, Zhang Xianqi's residence, under the night, a figure turned into his home.

The agile ninja quietly approached Zhang Xianqi's room at night. When Zhang Xianqi noticed it, a black hand had already covered his mouth from behind.

"Ambassador Zhang, please don't make a sound."

The voice was very familiar, it was Hino Kotaro.

Zhang Xianqi did not expect Hino Kotaro's skills to be so good that he could escape all the guards and come to his residence. He also understood that his guards had to be strengthened. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party didn't want to kill him, he would have died by this time. .

After confirming that Zhang Xianqi recognized himself, Hino Kotaro let go of his hand, took off the veil, and apologized, "Jun Zhang Xianqi, out of desperation, please don't blame him for doing this."

"It's surprising that Kotaro-kun is so skilled." Zhang Xianqi's expression returned to calm.

Hino Kotaro smiled bitterly: "I was originally a ninja, so I know some tricks, it's not worth mentioning."

"Kutaro-kun, why did you come to me overnight?"

Hino Kotaro looked at Zhang Xianqi earnestly and said, "Mr. Zhang Xianqi, you can hand over to His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County the things you were asked to pick up from Shitianwang Temple."

Zhang Xianqi said, "If I didn't teach it to His Highness, why would His Highness order me to stay in Osaka and wait for His Excellency Emperor Kotaro to contact Kotaro-kun?"

Hino Kotaro relaxed a little, Zhu Zhanyi and Zhang Xianqi both knew about it, and Zhang Xianqi was waiting for him on purpose, so this time he didn't have to hide it and try again.

"Jun Zhang Xianqi should recognize that thing."

"Although I have seen it with my own eyes before, but it is recorded in the book, I know what it is, but I can't judge the authenticity."

It’s easy to say if you know each other, Hino Kotaro continued: “The thing is true, the monk Zu A who came back from Daming has two disciples, one is Huasou Zongtan, who is famous in the Buddhist world of Dongying, and the other is from Shitianwang Temple. The Danyang monk is just different from the famous master Zongtan, the Danyang monk changed his name and hid in the temple, not competing for fame and fortune."

"Monk Zua brought back the unconscious Jianwen-kun from Daming, and he also knew that the previous general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was extremely dangerous, so he hid the seal of the party and said it was lost. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really intended to use Jianwen-kun as a conspiracy In the Central Plains, but because Jun Jianwen was disheartened and did not succeed, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu passed away, Jianwen Jun is now pretending to be Emperor Komatsu, and established a [Kui] organization with Huasou Zongtan and Ashikaga Yoshichi to plan major events in the Central Plains. "

Kotaro Hino revealed everything he knew in the shortest words.

Most of these things are similar to what Ashikaga Yoshichi said, but Zhang Xianqi was able to pretend to be surprised, as if he knew this for the first time.

"Kitaro-kun, this is too surprising. How could this be? Things are so complicated."

"Mr. Zhang Xianqi, said that the Emperor Guang had been disgusted by the actions of the Ashikaga family after he knew about these things. This time, just in time for the arrival of the Prince of Pearl River, he said that Emperor Guang is willing to do his best to assist the Prince of Pearl River to completely remove the remnants of the previous dynasty. The eradication of this will clear the hidden dangers for Daming.”

Zhang Xianqi thought about it and said, "Dongying hides the remnants of the previous dynasty, and is in the same situation as Daming. You are playing with fire, Mr. Kotaro."
