Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 208

When Feng Daiwen was busy taking care of the prisoners, he didn't forget to send people to sweep the surrounding villages. After all, the city couldn't be blocked all the time, it would consume too much troops.

The entire Shimane Castle has hardly changed from the outside, the top of the city is still the same flags, but the guards guarding the gate are much taller, and the city wall is constantly thickening and heightening.

But if someone walks into the city, they will be arrested. This is Feng Daiwen's intentional loosening of the outside and tightness of the inside, allowing people to enter and not to leave.

With someone who leads the way, Feng Daiwen and Xi Junmai will capture many captives every day and join them in the team of hard workers. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the most annoying thing, and the one who wants to get rid of it as soon as possible is the inner ghost.

The accompanying miners also began to search for silver mines with the locals under the guard of soldiers. It was supposed to be called the largest silver mine in the world in the eleventh century. Rule out the impossible mountains, and that's easy.

Whoever came again in Liu Rengui brought in [-] Turkic fighters, and finally relieved Feng Daiwen's tense manpower, and the five nearby small towns were finally able to take action.

After Liu Rengui arrived, he unloaded his supplies, repaired them for two days, and set off again. He not only brought back the latest news, but also 3 young men, [-] young women, and the most important thing is a few huge pieces of silver ore. I believe he will come back again. I'm afraid there will be more than a little people.

But anyway, it is already November, and although the weather is not too cold, it is still very inconvenient to march. It happens that the city and roads are being honestly built. Now that the silver mine has been found, the most urgent task is to build a road to get out.

For using people from the island country as coolies, Feng Daiwen didn't feel any burden in his heart. It was the greatest kindness to save their lives. Their only value was to create wealth for Datang.

Feng Daiwen didn't make a decision to let them go extinct, but let them live with their families, and there was no shortage of food. Families with children would get some extra meat, but young and beautiful women would be sent back to the university. Tang, arranged by Li Shimin.

Everything on the island fell into an orderly work. With enough manpower, the rocky mountain near the sea was about to be leveled.

A stone pier extends more than 200 meters out of the sea. Although it is said to be in the bay and the sea has always been calm, the pier has been built to be huge. The ten-foot-wide road looks particularly beautiful in the sea, like a sword inserted into the sea, and it is still going on. widening.

The previously built camp has become a residence for the slaves who built the wharf. Two roads more than ten feet wide extend from the camp to the distance.

A few huge pillars of smoke rose slightly outside Shimane Castle, and then were blown away by the wind. This is the start of firing in a newly built brick kiln. Volcanic ash is the best cement. It just so happens that there is a silver mine not far away. Improves the construction speed of various buildings, and can make the mine stronger.

On the island, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the people received the most training on how to deal with earthquakes and tsunamis. According to Feng Daiwen's plan, all the people of the Tang Dynasty lived in two types of buildings. Moved into a brick house, but now can only hide in a hole in the ground.

In Feng Daiwen's propaganda, the island country is a cursed land. This is because these are sinners, ignorant of etiquette and shame. God punishes them with earthquakes and typhoons every year.

And Datang is here to save them. They need to work continuously, cleanse their bodies and minds, and purify their souls. After three or five generations, they will become normal people, leave this cursed land, and live a happy life.

When these propagandas were spread, the people of the island nation actually believed and were more pious than the people of Tang Dynasty, so a brand-new education syllabus appeared, just waiting for the bald donkey... cough cough, the monk came, who made these Japanese slaves believe in these Woolen cloth.

……

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall, just after the morning court, Liu Rengui who was summoned nervously walked into the hall, not daring to show his air, the rough man who used to kill the enemy bravely, seemed to have become a lady of everyone.

A few large stones were placed in the middle of the main hall, but Li Shimin didn't look at them, but said to Liu Rengui gently: "Aiqing is the first batch of students in the martial arts academy, and most of the people who are at the same time as you are still studying, and how many people are you waiting for?" People can stand out from the crowd, which shows their excellence, and as the head of the mountain, I am proud of you."

Liu Rengui was so excited that he prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly, "My minister is willing to die for the Holy One and die for the Great Tang."

"Haha! Aiqing is flat, is this the silver mine dug out of Wadao?" Li Shimin asked with a satisfied smile.

"Reporting to my lord, this is it! And it was dug out of the ground. According to the prospector, the purity of the silver contained in the ore is higher the lower the ore is, and the purity of that mountain is almost the same, so it can be mined from different places at the same time. , as long as there are enough people, several million taels a year can be dug out." Liu Rengui stood up and said respectfully.

"Bah!" Even though the people left in the hall were all people who had experienced big storms, they were still taken aback by this number.

"My minister thought that more people should be sent to such an important place, and after the Turkic people belonged to the Tang Dynasty, there were too few people for road construction, and several roads were about to stop." Changsun Wuji was in charge of the household department, and finally What is lacking is all kinds of manpower, who will support without hesitation. Of course, there is also the meaning of arranging people to share the credit. After all, such a huge benefit is in front of them. Everyone wants to go and fool around. , and without risk.

"Yes, I think what Zhao Guogong said is reasonable. The annual output can almost be half of the current tax revenue. It is true that we should vigorously exploit it." Fang Xuanling is in charge of the finance department, so he is naturally concerned about money.

"What do Duke Wei think?" Li Shimin didn't make a decision right away, but asked about Li Jing instead.

"May I ask your Majesty, did Dudu Feng ask for reinforcements?" Li Jing asked back.

Li Shimin picked up the secret document in his hand, thought for a while and said: "I didn't say it clearly, I just introduced the situation and asked for additional civil servants to take charge of the management, as well as monks."

"I think this is what the governor wants to see from the court. If the Holy Majesty wants to slowly develop the island country, there is no need to increase the number of troops. If the population needs to be vigorously developed, the mine must increase the number of troops." Li Jing analyzed.

"Ai Qing thinks how many troops are appropriate?" Li Shimin asked.

"I think that if a large number of people are arrested, I am afraid that the Japanese slaves will concentrate on attacking the land occupied by the Tang Dynasty, so at least 5 people should be arranged to go there, so that there will be enough people to guard the mine and deal with possible attacks. I will ask the emperor to decide how to do it. "Li Jing just analyzed it, and didn't arrange the specifics, which fully reflected the excellent quality of an old fox.
