Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 242 Gold and Silver
Wang Wenzuo took the pair of wrist guards, looked at the candlelight, bit them again, and confirmed that the pair of wrist guards were indeed made of gold, and the quality was good, but the craftsmanship was much worse. The ordinary craftsmen around were inferior. Hearing Dinghui's words, he smiled indifferently and returned the wristband: "Ask him for me, where does the gold for this wristband come from?"

"Where does the gold come from?" Lianxiong of the Ministry of Things couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw Wang Wenzuo return the wristband. Didn't the other party want his property?

"Don't you know the origin of this gold?" Dinghui urged when he saw that the Ministry of Objects was silent.

"No, no!" Monobe Lianxiong hurriedly replied: "Of course I know that the gold sand used to make this pair of wristbands was bought by the businessman from the Ainu people in the northern region! There are also seal skins and eagle feathers."

"Northern Ainu people?" Wang Wenzuo frowned. In the eyes of the Tang people at that time, Japan was a country with backward technology, a sparse population, and a lack of resources. That's why 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 the records of later generations, the famous Iwami Ginzan 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 the peak of the Edo Shogunate, it could produce 400 gold a year. kilograms, 40 tons of silver, as long as you can master one of them, your financial resources can rival that of a country.But the northern Ainu people mentioned by Monobe Renxiong are alluvial gold again, so I'm afraid it's not these two places.

"Ask the two of them, have you ever heard of the place names of Sado Island and Mount Iwami?"

Facing Wang Wenzuo's question, Monobe Lianxiong and Shoujun Oishi both showed embarrassment and shook their heads again and again.Wang Wenzuo was not surprised. Before that, he had asked Dinghui and other Japanese captives about these two places while chatting before. He tried to find these two famous gold and silver mines in later generations, but he found nothing.It should be that the area controlled by the Yamato Kingdom 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. They were called other names at that time. .It seemed that if he wanted to get these two gold and silver mines, he had to find another way, but before that, it would not hurt to learn more about the customs and customs of Japan at that time.Thinking of this, Wang Wenzuo asked casually.

Lianxiong of the Ministry of Things and Shoujun Dashi carefully answered Wang Wenzuo's questions. At the beginning, they were both cautious and respectful, lest they say something wrong and annoy the person in front of them. But as the conversation deepened, they gradually discovered that Wang Wenzuo's temperament Gentle, without the arrogant and domineering look that a winner should have, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and he would not feel sad living under this person in the future.

At this time, a person came in from outside the tent and whispered a few words in Wang Wenzuo's ear, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Wang Wenzuo's face.

"You mean Zhou Liucheng begged for surrender?"

"That's right! The chief inspector, please join the army, and hurry up to discuss it!" The visitor was all smiles: "Please join the army and go quickly, don't make the chief inspector wait too long!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo stood up without hesitation: "Master Dinghui, you stay here with the two of you, I'll go see the governor first!"

Tang Junshuai tent.

Liu Renyuan was wearing his latest crimson brocade robe and crimson embossed headband, sitting in the first seat in the middle, with a smile all over his cheeks, he whispered a few words to Liu Rengui beside him, and then patted Sun Renyuan's arm on the other side let out a hearty laugh.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! I thought I would have to fight hard, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, so easy! This victory is like a fruit falling from a tree! It's all thanks to General Sun!"

"Yes!" Liu Rengui also laughed loudly, without the usual humility: "A few months ago we were thinking about whether to withdraw our troops to return to China via Silla, but now the whole situation has completely reversed. Look, the Baekje Rebellion will 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, and there is no leader among the thieves. As long as he is summoned by the name of Fu Yulong, our Tang Dynasty can win without a fight! "

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Wenzuo walked in. Before he could see the situation in the tent clearly, Liu Renyuan had already stepped down from the first seat, rushed to him in three steps and grabbed Wang Wenzuo's arm: "Sanlang, if It wasn't your plan. How could the two thieves, Fuyu Fengzhang and Guishi Fuxin, kill each other? It was also your idea to send Fuyulong to Baekje. In my opinion, you have made the most contribution this time. Come on, come on , come, sit here!"

Wang Wenzuo was dragged to the long table by his arms, and forced to sit beside Liu Rengui.Liu Renyuan patted Wang Wenzuo's shoulder with a smile: "Sanlang, tell me how to deal with the affairs in this city!"

Wang Wenzuo moved his butt uneasily. The chair below seemed to have thorns. There are more than just surrendered soldiers in Zhouliu City. As a den of rebels, there must be a lot of property in the city. Theoretically speaking, these things belong to the imperial court. , but in fact the right to dispose of it 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 thing. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit. How many famous generals have no Fell in front of a powerful enemy, but fell under the impeachment of Yushi because of the spoils. (Shi Wansui, Li Jing, Lan Yu tearfully praised)
"Soldiers in the city leave the city first, first hand over their armored weapons, and then deal with them according to the law! As for the rest—" Wang Wenzuo stopped at this point, and looked at Du Shuang beside him: "According to the usual practice, it should be the soldiers in the army. Long history's power and responsibility!"

"Oh! I'm so happy, but I forgot about this incident!" Liu Renyuan patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Wang Canjun will deal with the soldiers who leave the city, and trouble Du Changshi for the equipment in the city treasury!"

"Humble duty!" Du Shuang glanced at Wang Wenzuo in surprise, but he was able to hold back his hand in the face of such a big temptation. It's done, the size is really extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, there is one more important matter!" Liu Rengui said, "A reward must be offered for the capture of Fu Yu Fengzhang, and he must not be allowed to escape!"

"Not bad!" Liu Renyuan slapped his thigh fiercely: "If the governor hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten the important matter. Du Changshi quickly drafted the document and offered a reward for the capture of Fuyu Fengzhang. Whether he lives or dies, he will reward you with a thousand pieces of silk and 20 yuan. ! I don’t know who is lucky enough to get this big reward!”
