After resting on the island for a night, after taking a beautiful bath in the hot spring, Mr. Zhao appeared in front of everyone the next day in full spirit.

The team of hundreds of followers was already ready to go. In the middle of the team were several identical black carriages.

Mr. Zhao and Secretary Ma got on a carriage at random, and the team surrounded the carriage and slowly headed south along the road running through the plain.

The place I want to go today is Sado Kinsula.

He tried his best to seek Sado Island. In addition to farming, his main purpose was that there was the first gold and silver mine in Japan that had been supported by the Edo Shogunate for 300 years. In another time and space, although the most advanced mechanical equipment was used to explore the gold and silver mine resources here were still exhausted until 1989.

The only drawback is that unlike the Ishimiji Yinshan, which has been mature and mined for decades, Sado Jinshan has not yet been discovered, so we have to find it from the vast mountains first.

Otherwise, it would have to wait a few decades later, until the 29th year of Wanli, the year after the war of Sekihara, the first two years after the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate. As a result, Echigo's dragon, who was greedy for money, did not find a piece of Sado gold, but instead made the old Ieyasu turtle free.

Thinking about it this way, this is a great thing. If I had discovered it now, Uesugi's elder sister had sent heavy troops to garrison Sado Island long ago, so how could she have her own advantage?

There are still some good clues.

First of all, in this era, two gold and silver mines, Xisanchuan Sand Jinshan and Shizi Yinshan, were discovered on Sado Island. The former was in the Xiaomuwan area and was originally owned by the Yumao family. The latter was in the deep mountains of Zegen and belonged to the territory of the Wadahara family.

But the Honma family did not have any... This is the fundamental reason why the originally harmonious three families became enemies of life and death.

As for why Kenshi Uesugi is not jealous, without it, these two mines are too small to be able to reach the eyes of his elder sister. Echigo's Naruto Jinshan was a well-known rich mine at this time, and gold mining is a labor-intensive industry. Of course, we have to choose the richest mine to mine.

If Kenshino Uesugi knows the existence of Sado Kinshan, would he be jealous?

Secondly, Sado Jinshan is the "mountain master" who searched for minerals in Tsuruji Yinshan. It was discovered in Aichuan, not far from Tsuruji Yinshan, so it is also called Aichuan Jinyinshan. The name Aichuan has already existed at this time, and it is a sea-to-sea area at the southwest end of the Great Zhuangyuan Mountains.

Finally, the ore treatment farm in Sado Jinshan is called Kitazawa Fuyou Treatment Floating Farm. The reason why Mr. Zhao remembers it so clearly is that it is the prototype of the Sky City Lapuda.

Of course, those factories in the Industrial Revolution era have not yet appeared. But the name Kitazawa alone is enough to further narrow the area.

At present, the Wata Yuan family has become naturalized, and the mountain teachers and miners of Hezi Yinshan have been recruited by Jiangnan Group on generous conditions. The miners can obtain overseas employees of the group after the probation period. The mountain teachers become formal employees directly and can be naturalized as Ming Dynasty!

Unexpectedly, he became a Celestial being in this life. The mountain masters were naturally grateful and wished to give all their hearts to Mr. Zhao. Who would still regard himself as a Japanese?

They told Zhao Ping, general manager of the overseas mining company responsible for mining searches that the Kitazawa mentioned by the young master should be the "Kezawa Town" in the Aikawa area.

Town is the smallest district unit in Japanese, equivalent to the village of Daming.

The ore dressing farm requires a lot of water, so it must be located by the sea. The "Ketazawa Town" happens to be surrounded by mountains and seas, which meets the requirements.

Therefore, the location of the ore dressing site can be determined.

Although the gold mine cannot happen to be on the beach, it is possible to survey the location of the ore dressing site. After discovering the gold mine, the ore dressing site will definitely be set up in the most convenient location nearby. Therefore, Kitazawa Town is the most convenient area and where is the location of the gold mine.

~~

Mr. Zhao thought that he had given such an accurate range and was not easy to find the Sado gold mine?

Who knew that six Japanese mountain masters, plus ten mine seekers hired from China, searched for more than 100 apprentices and miners for nearly half a year before they discovered gold and silver veins in the mountains 1.2 kilometers away from the ore treatment site!

Of course, Zhao Hao has to take a look. This era is second only to the super large silver mine in South America's Potosi Silver Mine. - Yes, although Sado Jinshan is called Jinshan, it still mainly produces silver, and the output of gold is only a fraction of silver.

In fact, this second is very watery, because the annual silver production in Sado Jinshan is less than one-fifth of that in the Potosi silver mine.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao and Shi Jian Yinshan are all working hard to mine, and the output can always reach 60% to 70% of the Posito silver mine?

This matter is extremely important because since the Europeans established global maritime trade, the fate of the Ming Dynasty as a country has been intertwined with other countries.

In the 46th year of Wanli, the 'Thirty Years' War' broke out in Europe. The trade of Ming and European suddenly shrank, and silver stopped importing it from the Ming Dynasty. The vicious deflation caused by the precious silver and low rice, making the original one-whip method that benefited the people a bad law.

As a result, the northwest farmers who relied on farming and selling grain and paid taxes only went bankrupt. The Wang Er Uprising in Guanzhong, Shaanxi opened the curtain of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. Then Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and others responded to the rebellion. They were unhappy to streamline the post station in order to save money to quell the rebellion, causing a small civil servant named Li Zicheng to lay off. The subsequent events are familiar...

In short, just like dominoes, the war broke out in Europe spread to Asia and eventually became one of the important reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

That's why Mr. Zhao was so anxious to seek Shi Jian Yinshan and Sado Jinshan in order to make silver reserves in advance. Once the grain of silver in Europe is cut off, Jiangnan Group will be able to continue it.

Of course, the best way is to organize an expeditionary fleet to South America and grab the silver mines in Mexico and Peru.

But it’s fine to think about it, not to mention whether half of the soldiers can arrive in Mexico alive. South America is the lifeblood of Spain.

If he dared to touch the balls of the arrogant Philip II, the one who had the invincible fleet would not be the big Queen Elizabeth, but himself.

So I should first dig honestly and bully the red-haired ghost at home.

‘It’s not too late to go to South America to touch the balls when I was fantasizing, Mr. Zhao suddenly tilted his body and almost hit the wall of the car. Fortunately, there was an airbag... Sister Ma blocked him.

"We have entered the mountain, and the road is difficult to walk, be careful." A loud reminder rang out outside.

According to the protection regulations, when traveling when it is impossible to ensure absolute safety, multiple carriages should be used to travel with the protection object, and the protection object should be taken randomly. Any behavior of exposing the main car is strictly prohibited on the way.

"I've gone up the mountain." Mr. Zhao leaned against Sister Ma and swayed. Even if the carriage was hung, the carriage was shocked very violently.

I don’t know how long it took to get his intestines, but when his intestines were about to get out, the carriage finally stopped slowly.

After a while, Gao Wu opened the thick iron-packed car door with his own hands.

This means it is absolutely safe.

"Oh, my mother, I'm so fucked." Zhao Hao got out of the car with the help of Brother Gao, and felt that his waist was about to break. He was not so tired last night...

"Second Young Master Hai Han." Zhao Ping, who came to greet him, apologized and said: "I just discovered this place last month and I haven't had time to level the mountain road."

"It's not important, I've practiced pulling out the tendons." Mr. Zhao looked at the young man who was not good-looking. He thought to himself that he knew that the leader was coming to inspect, so shouldn't he dare not do anything and repair the road at the door first?

Although this guy seems to be careless, he is one of the elite servants trained by the old man. Zhao Liben plans to let them manage the Zhao family's industry in a hundred years and support a group of unworthy grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, the children and grandchildren didn't have to support themselves. There was no need for the old man to hold these servants with good loyalty and ability and throw them to Zhao Hao to arrange them.

Mr. Zhao threw Zhao Ping under Hua Bozhen and became the director of the Xishan Island Quarry. He ignored him for three years. Later, it was a test of his concentration, but in fact he forgot that there was still such a person.

Zhao Ping honestly slept in the quarry and knocked on the stone for three years, never showing any impatient feelings.

In the report given by the Procuratorate and the Supervisory Commission and who gave him, he was highly evaluated. The former identified him as "strictly abide by the rules, be honest and self-confident, able to endure loneliness, and be neglected". The latter commented on him, "I finally found a similar person. I wanted to make friends with him, but unfortunately... he didn't even find me..."

If it weren't for the fact that someone had the same feeling of compassion for each other and recommended this person to Zhao Hao, Zhao Ping would probably be knocking on the West Mountain now.

Unfortunately, he didn't know who recommended him...

So, Mr. Zhao, based on the principle of making full use of his talents, promoted Zhao Ping to the general manager of the newly established overseas mining company. Like the security zone, overseas mining is directly under the group and belongs to the core industry of the Jiangnan Group.

~~

After Mr. Zhao had sorted out his muscles and bones, Zhao Ping took him to several mines ahead. He had just dug, so he naturally mined open-pit, and only a reed shed was built on the top of the pit to block the rain.

"How is it, are you still used to it?" Mr. Zhao asked habitually while walking.

"It was used to knocking on the stones, but now it's still knocking on the stones." Zhao Ping said expressionlessly.

"That's different. It used to be a real stone, but now it's gold and silver ore!" Mr. Zhao smiled.

"Oh." Zhao Ping nodded, then raised his sword and killed the chat.

Mr. Zhao thought to himself, it wasn’t that I left him in the quarry for too long that people were speechless?

In short, I couldn't bear to blame Zhao Ping, so I followed him to the mine pit silently.

Fortunately, Zhao Ping just couldn't speak nonsense, and his words were smooth when talking about things. He told Zhao Hao that the Chinese and Japanese mine search masters had found silver mine seedlings first...some slightly brown stones. Because the silver mine was buried very deeply and had trunks and branches like branches, the mineral seedlings had to be tracked and divided into several routes to dig the mineral search veins.

When the ore sand is found, it means that the ore veins have been found.

According to experience, the ore veins are hidden very deeply, and it is possible to be more than ten or twenty feet underground. But unexpectedly, the ore sand was dug out here soon. And it was a large area of ​​discovery, which shows that this is indeed a large silver mine!

Speaking of this, he finally showed an admiration on his face and said, "To be honest, when the young master sent a villain here to find a mine, I thought it was just a mess. How could he infer the unknown location of the silver mine just based on the location of the silver mine elsewhere? What else can he do? You can look for mines every day!"

Zhao Hao's face was hot and he felt offended.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ping had no idea, and said with a little excited expression: "I didn't expect it to be found so soon. Moreover, the Japanese mountain master said that this must be a silver mine larger than Shijian Silver Mountain, accompanied by a large amount of gold! The young master's science is so great, and the villain really doesn't know Mount Tai!"
Chapter completed!
