The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

After everything was packed up, Yamana Mochitoyo was finally generous and prepared two horse-drawn carriages and several ox carts for them.

Not only could their luggage be pulled up, but they could also be pulled up.

But the heroes have their own plans.

They put the ten taels of gold in their own arms, and took the remaining silver to Wang Cong and Miao Zhen. After some bargaining, Wang Cong and his friends took on the escort business.

They say they are escorting, but in fact they are just making luggage bags.

If danger really happens, we have to rely on heroes to step in.

Wang Cong happily followed Pan Yun and did some calculations, saying, "It's just to help collect the money. It only takes up a small space. When we return to Daming, we can get 10% of the profit."

Pan Yun: "You guys even make this money..."

Wang Cong: "Why not make money if there is money to be made?"

He moved closer and whispered, "Little Master, are we going to let Ouchi go just like that?"

Pan Yun also whispered: "Da Nei Jiaohong will not live long. He gave us a port and three ships."

Wang Cong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the scenery along the way to Onsenjin Town became much more eye-catching.

Everyone felt Wang Cong's happiness, and the heroes' restlessness caused by their departure was also calmed down a lot.

Many heroes came to him to ask for information, and Hu Jing even asked him directly: "Is this revenge?"

Wang Cong nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

After he said that, the heroes believed it and everyone went to Onsenzu Town happily.

Seeing the sea again after many days, everyone had mixed feelings.

The heroes were looking at the sea, gazing into the distance, with a look of longing on their faces.

Pan Yun said quietly behind them: "Across the way is North Korea."

The heroes immediately put away their worries and looked around: "Where is Daming?"

Pan Yun pointed in the direction they came from.

Heroes: ...

"The opposite direction? Then how do we get home?"

Pan Yun: "There are roads on land and routes on boats. It is much faster to go home from here than to cross the land and take a boat back to the starting point."

The heroes looked at the small fishing boat floating on the beach with horror on their faces: "We're going to take this kind of boat?"

Pan Yun glanced at them, called Masuda Shinta, pointed at the harbor and asked him: "If we build a harbor here for ships to dock, how many people will it take and how much will it cost?"

Masuda Shinta bowed and said, "It will take at least 300 people working for 50 days and cost 10,000 taels of silver to build the harbor."

He paused, then explained, "People are secondary. My Yitian family has some reputation here, and we can recruit a lot of civilians. The cost is not high. However, the stones, wood, glutinous rice, etc. required to build the port are huge. Ten thousand taels is already extremely economical."

Pan Yun: "But as long as it can be repaired, even if only one ship can dock, the goods brought by the ship every year will be enough to make the merchants and wealthy families here rich, and it can even boost the local economy and benefit ordinary people."

Masuda Shinta's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply and said, "Yes, it is the luck of the Masuda family and the local people that Miss Pan chose this place."

Pan Yun looked up at the sky, then looked down at the ground, and sighed, "The feng shui here is excellent. I'm telling the truth. Besides, Korea is just across the sea. It's very convenient for Ming merchant ships to unload their goods here or transport them to Korea. What a pity..." She looked at Masuda Shinta with regret, "I know that Masuda-kun is a rare smart man. He is not only valued by Yamana Mochitoyo, but also trusted by Yamana Hideshichi. One day, your Masuda family will surpass the Takeda family and become the most trusted retainer of the Yamana family..."

Masuda Shinta: "Is that why Ms. Pan wants to build a port in Onsenzu Town and place maritime trade here?"

Pan Yun: "The Ouchi clan has been damaged. In order to recover as quickly as possible, they will definitely vigorously develop maritime trade in order to obtain more resources. I want to cut off their retreat, and robbing their maritime trade is the best way. Onsenzu Town is under the protection of the Yamana clan, and building a port is a win-win situation, but Yamana seems to be very stingy with money..."

Masuda Shinta gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Pan, I am willing to introduce my father to you. I think he is willing to pay half of the money to build the harbor. Five thousand taels of silver is already a huge expense. We are also willing to provide three hundred civilians, but the remaining five thousand taels..."

Pan Yun's lips curled up slightly: "It's good that Yitian-kun has this intention, but Yamana-kun doesn't want to. If we build a port privately and it gets to his ears, will it be bad?"

"No," said Masuda Shinta, "The head of the family will only be happy to see the prosperity of Onsenzu Town. If he can seize the maritime trade of the Ouchi family, he will be even happier."

Pan Yun did not agree immediately, but said: "We still want to go to Dasen Township to have a look. I don't know how the land that Mr. Yamana gave us is. If the maritime trade is developed, more Han people will come here, and we will need a place to stay and rest."

Masuda Shinta did not ask why they did not choose the place to rest by the sea but went to Omori Township. Instead, he said, "I'll take you there. The head of the family did not specify a place. Miss Pan can choose any place you like. Even if someone is already there, I will have them move away."

Pan Jun just smiled.

Shinta Masuda took her to Omori Township attentively.

Omori-go is not far from Onsenzu-machi. They saw the sea in the morning, set off in the afternoon, and saw the mountains before dark.

The next day, I stared at the mountain and walked for half a day, and I reached the destination.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain. There is a road leading directly to the mountain. Going up the mountain road, there is a small temple halfway up the mountain.

Pan Yun and his friends are staying at the foot of the mountain.

This area is the sphere of influence of the Yitian family, and they also have fields, serfs and houses here.

Compared to the Yamana clan, the Masuda family, a local powerful family, is more famous and powerful.

Ordinary people only knew the Masuda family, but not the Yamana family. Even outside of Omori Township, they didn't know which country or county they belonged to.

Pan Yun stood at the door and looked at the dense mountains not far away, with busy slaves and noisy companions behind him.

Xue Shao walked up to her, stood beside her and watched with her.

Wang Cong, Chen Liutao and Qu Zhixing were all arranging their luggage while stealing glances at them with sharp eyes.

Could that be the silver mountain in there?
Such a big mountain, I don’t know where it is...

Pan Yun turned around and looked back: "If you want to watch, just watch openly. Why are you doing it secretly?"

The three of them immediately straightened up and looked over openly. Wang Cong put down what he was holding and ran over, asking in a low voice: "Uncle Junior Master, how do we find this silver mine?"

Chen Liutao and Qu Zhixing also came over and listened.

Pan Yun: "What color is silver?"

Wang Cong answered quickly: "White!"

"Then go up the mountain and look for lead-gray or black stones with a rough surface, preferably with some metallic spots."

Wang Cong looked confused: "What is the relationship between white and lead gray and black? Can we find metal spots just by looking?" (End of this chapter)
