Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 340 Silver Mine?That's Silver Mountain!
After San Ce finished speaking, Su Jing looked at Lao Zhu calmly, waiting for his reaction.

"Su Jing, is this your strategy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and felt that what Su Jing said was a bit too much...

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, these are my top, middle and bottom strategies. Your Majesty can choose the appropriate strategy according to your own needs. Of course, His Majesty should be able to see the success rate. I don't want to talk nonsense."

At this time, Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su's three strategies are actually three good strategies after careful consideration."

"Berwen, then you analyze and analyze for me, what are the advantages of these three strategies?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and said to Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen nodded, then looked at Su Jing and said: "Mr. Su, I would venture to analyze it. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I hope Mr. Su will not be offended."

"What does Uncle Chengyi say? Although the analysis is good, my strategy may not be good."

Su Jing immediately said.

Liu Bowen is not an ordinary person, Su Jing dare not feel condescending towards him at all.

After Liu Bowen made a bow, he said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su's three strategies, from the perspective of the veteran, the best strategy is the kingly way, Zhongzheng is peaceful, and what His Majesty most needs to adopt is this best strategy."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Bowen, how can I not know Su Jing's best strategy, but although the best strategy is good, it takes a lot of time. The current financial problems of Ming Dynasty cannot be solved by this best strategy."

Make every effort to deal with this matter, but any emperor with a normal mind knows that this is definitely the right thing to do.

Although some emperors may not be able to achieve 100%, Zhu Yuanzhang is certainly not among them.

For Da Ming, which he founded with his own hands, Lao Zhu treats it with 12 points of energy every day.

But as Lao Zhu himself said, Daming is currently in financial difficulties, and it is too slow to work hard to solve this matter.

Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su is also aware of this matter, so there are two strategies. The middle strategy is to put it bluntly, that is, the court conducts business and expands overseas markets. This strategy is not clear to the end because the veteran is not good at management. How effective it can be, but whether it is the Silk Road or overseas business, it has brought a lot of income to the dynasty at that time, which has a history."

"As for Mr. Su's business talent, the old minister thinks His Majesty should understand that if this policy is adopted, for Daming, it must be able to quickly increase financial revenue."

Liu Bowen didn't do much business, but he read a lot of history books.

Doing business in the country is much more effective in increasing the value of wealth than self-employment.

However, in Daming, Lao Zhu had always had a bad view of businessmen, even if there were examples of businessmen like Su Jing, it was still not so easy to accept.

Not to mention, the sea ban policy was determined by Lao Zhu himself. Now that overseas business activities are opened, firstly, it overturns the previous decree, and secondly, Lao Zhu will also worry that some remnants of the past will disturb the border and undermine the stable rule.

"Berwen, I can still accept the trade on land, but I will never agree to it overseas!"

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang directly showed a quite firm attitude.

Liu Bowen didn't speak, but looked at Su Jing.

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is not willing, so I have no choice. Although land transportation is also possible, but the scale of sea and land transportation is very different, I am afraid it will not have much effect."

Under Daming's current level of technology, water transportation is the largest volume, not to mention sea transportation.

In trade, the size of the transaction often determines the amount of profit.

If Lao Zhu's sea ban policy is not lifted, Su Jing's middle strategy is just a loft in the air.

Liu Bowen could only continue: "Then it seems that the only way to quickly solve Ming's financial problems is the worst."

"Counterattack the Japanese pirates and capture the Japanese country. However, this is the wrong strategy, and the veterans are a little unclear."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "Berwen, don't save face for Su Jing. I don't understand anything. This strategy won't work at all."

"Not to mention that the Japanese pirates are an island country on the sea. They are good at naval warfare. They are scattered and difficult to attack. Even if they really conquered the Japanese country, it is only a tiny place. How can they solve my Ming Dynasty's financial crisis?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero of a generation. Japanese pirates invaded the Shandong border, and he had long thought of attacking.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up.

The Japanese pirates can be fought, but if they really hit the Ryukyu Island where the Japanese pirates are located, it will require too many troops and a huge investment.

It's really done, it's such a big place, and there are not many resources, Lao Zhu really doesn't like it.

Liu Bowen looked at Su Jing, also looking forward to Su Jing's answer.

"It seems that His Majesty has a very good understanding of Japanese pirates. I think His Majesty once had the idea of ​​​​attacking the Japanese country."

Su Jing said with a smile: "If you really want to take down the Wa country, the price must be not small, or it will be heavy, which is why I call it a bad strategy."

"However, since it can be a bad policy, it must be able to solve the current financial problems of Daming. There is only one purpose for attacking the Wa Kingdom, and that is the silver mine, a huge silver mine. Based on Daming's current mining technology, the annual output of silver The mine should be around several million taels of silver, and if the mining technology can be improved, it is not impossible for the annual output to reach tens of millions of taels."

As soon as Su Jing's words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were immediately shocked.

Good guy, there is such a silver mine in Wa country.

"Su Jing, is what you said true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately asked Su Jing.

Su Jing said indifferently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the fidelity I mentioned, if it is really possible to mine this silver mine, the financial problems of Ming Dynasty can be solved in an instant."

Is this silver mine the Iwami Silver Mine in Japan?

The Iwami Silver Mine is located in Shimane Prefecture in the Sanin region of Japan.

The deposit was discovered in the 16th century and was one of the representative silver deposits in the world in the [-]th and [-]th centuries.

Now, the Iwami Silver Mine is still peacefully sleeping underground in Japan, quietly waiting for people to discover it.

As for the output of the Iwami Silver Mine, it is quite scary, with an annual output of dozens of tons, and the recorded peak annual output is [-] tons.

At that time, the silver production of Iwami Silver Mine accounted for one-third of the world's total silver production.

The development period of Iwami Ginzan overlapped with the period of commercial development in Japanese economic history. Therefore, the silver smelted and processed here not only circulated in Japan as currency, but also supported the exchanges between Japan and Portugal, the Dutch East India Company and Chinese merchants. trade relations.

Therefore, for the current Daming, if it is possible to mine the Iwami Silver Mine, then it is definitely more than enough to solve the financial problem.

As for the guilt of occupying Japan?
This thing Su Jing has never been to Japan at all, there is no way, he was also a man of heaven in his previous life, and the things in his bones did not disappear with time travel and rebirth.

"Mr. Su, if this is true, then the attack on the Wa Kingdom is something Daming must do."

Liu Bowen said directly.

Under normal circumstances, no one would think of attacking a small island country without much benefit.

But now with such a large silver mine, things are different.

Su Jing said lightly: "I don't really understand the war, but if you want to conquer the Wa country, it's probably difficult for the current Ming Dynasty to do it."

Liu Bowen nodded and said: "Yes, the Japanese pirates are difficult to deal with. If you take the initiative to attack, you must attack with several times the force head-on, but the Japanese country is an island country, and long-distance shipping is a challenge for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. We must also consider the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north. There is no rush."

"Mr. Su listed it as the worst policy, there is no problem at all."

Liu Bowen is really Su Jing's perfect substitute, he directly finished what Su Jing wanted to say.

Su Jing nodded, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, I have finished analyzing the three strategies of sincerity. I really did not deceive Your Majesty. My method is actually not a good method."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was slightly gloomy, and he was still thinking about the Japanese silver mine.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Since you said that this is a bad idea, the Japanese pirates should have not discovered the existence of this silver mine, right?"

There is a difference between having silver mines and having silver mines.

Su Jing said: "Of course I don't know. If such a large silver mine is discovered, given the current situation in the Wa Kingdom, there is no time to go to sea to rob my Daming. They are busy fighting for the ownership of the silver mine."

The current Daming is only in the 200th century, and it is still more than [-] years since the Iwami silver mine was discovered, and everything is still early.

After the Iwami Silver Mine was discovered, there were indeed many wars in Japan at that time for its ownership.

"Su Jing, have you ever talked to other people about the silver mine?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Naturally not. If His Majesty hadn't asked about it today, Su Jing probably wouldn't have thought that there is such a silver mine in the Japanese pirates' hometown."

I have read a lot of history books, and there are also a lot of messy things.

Although Su Jing has the ability of photographic memory, but to retrieve it, some keywords are still needed.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "This matter is top secret, and you must not talk about it with anyone. Do you understand my words?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know the pros and cons of this."

Su Jing replied immediately.

The current Ming Dynasty definitely does not have the conditions to fight Japan, but knowing that Japan has such a large silver mine, fighting Japan has become a must.

Only when the silver mine has been unknown and has not been mined, can Da Ming attack Japan in order to obtain the greatest benefit.

Liu Bowen said from the side: "Your Majesty, this matter should be planned now. The training of the Ming Navy and the investigation of the terrain of the Wa country all need time to prepare."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Berwen is right, this matter should be planned from now on, and we must make sure nothing goes wrong."

At this time, Lao Zhu didn't think about the financial shortage at all.

After all, knowing such a large silver mine, the first thing I must have thought was to keep it for myself.

Not to mention that this silver mine is still in the lair of the Japanese pirates. There is a deep enmity between Da Ming and the Japanese pirates, and it is the Japanese pirates who beat them!

"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired from the lecture today. If there's nothing else to do, then I'll leave first."

Su Jing said to Zhu Yuanzhang, giving lectures is not an easy task, especially Su Jing still took such a big class.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing and said, "Okay, then go back and rest first. If you want to go home, you can go back at any time. I guarantee that no one will stop you."

Since Su Jing was released from prison, Zhu Yuanzhang has been shocked a lot in the past few days.

The current old Zhu will definitely not kill Su Jing again, who will let the lives of his wife and children be kept in Su Jing's hands?

This meeting mentioned a big silver mine again, and Lao Zhu only wanted to make Su Jing a good offering, as long as all the conditions were met.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Jing nodded, and then left from the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing's back and said, "Bowen, how many good things do you think Su Jing has hidden?"

Japan has such a large silver mine, and Lao Zhu didn't hear Su Jing mention it until now.

There is also the news in Fengtian Temple not long ago.

In his heart now, there are really mixed feelings.

Liu Bowen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Su knows a lot, but it is precisely because of too much that many things are important to us, but perhaps not so important to Mr. Su."

At any rate, Liu Bowen heard Su Jing talk about the changes in social forms. In the face of changes in the entire human society, whether it is an emperor or a dynasty, it is actually the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen: "Bowen, you're helping Su Shi speak now without any cover-up, it's not like you."

Liu Bowen replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I just told the truth."

"Okay, you can go back too. I don't know what I was thinking when I called you over suddenly."

Zhu Yuanzhang said something lightly.

Right now, his heart is actually still a little messy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister will retire."

Liu Bowen then turned and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sigh of relief, adjusted his mood, and called Zhu Biao and other five people in front of him.

"My son pays homage to his father!" X5
The five immediately saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Get up, I ask you, listen carefully to what Su Jing taught you today."

The five of them nodded immediately, and now they are all serious study boys, Su Jing's class did not miss a single bit.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You must remember it well, and think about it more often. This Ming Dynasty will be of much use in the future, you know?"

"Yes, father, my son knows." x5
The five answered in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at King Qin Zhu Xi again and said, "Second brother, we just heard you say that you want to learn the way of doing business with Su Jing, do you want to study the way of business?"

"Yes, father, my son has no talent, so I feel that I can learn more in this area."

Zhu Xi replied with firm eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you want to learn, then show your own attitude. I won't help you talk. How much you can learn from Su Jing depends entirely on yourself. If you can really say what you said, then you will be a fan. I can let you go earlier."

Hearing this, there was a joyful expression on Zhu Xi's face.

If he becomes a vassal, then he is a vassal, and he can do many things independently.

Most importantly, he was affirmed by his father Zhu Yuanzhang!
