Zhang Xiaobao’s reaction was too intense. Everyone who heard this, except Wang Juan, didn’t understand. The three old men knew where the Luzon Island in Xiaobao’s mouth was. It was what the imperial court called Xinyuan Island, which was the resource. Many islands are also very large.
"Xiaobao, the price of silver is rising. What does the selling point of silver ore have to do with Xinyuan Island? How is violence?" Old man Bi asked if he didn't understand.
"Of course it does matter. I was wondering a while ago, what did the people from Sihai Academy come to do? They harvested straw and bought land, and then the price of silver went up. Now I know. What gold ore should be mentioned.
How many gold mines are there in Japan? They just have a lot of silver, and they have to mention gold ore. Where does the gold ore come from? It's not always that they went to fight North Korea, oh no, it was Silla who went there? Then there is only one place, Xinyuan Island. No wonder the people there are united. It is wrong to do so. "
Zhang Xiaobao gave Old Man Bi an analysis.
Wang Juan had already understood it. In many cases, only a little bit of information was enough to reveal the back. Zhang Xiaobao could figure it out by himself, not to mention Zhang Xiaobao, a person who is very sensitive to everything.
But Old Man Bi still couldn't understand "Why didn't the people from Silla come here? Must be Japanese?"
"Because Silla doesn't have that ability, I don't look down on them. They are far behind Japan. People in Japan need to face it up. As for Silla, they are too close. The army said the past will pass. They dare not. There are not as many ideas as Japanese."
Zhang Xiaobao continued to explain.
"It's okay in Japan. If you hit him, hit him. Does he still want to start an economic war?" Old man Yao looked down on that small place in Japan in his heart.
"They are not going to fight any battles, they just want to secretly gain some advantage. This nation is very easy to learn and very tolerant. Now let him fight me and lend him a hundred courage. I guess they want to get something good and go back. In the past, they would not be so strenuous, and I didn’t keep the technology very secret.
Now they can’t learn good things. It should be found in Sihai Academy that they have to spend a lot of money to learn good skills, and they may not be able to learn, so they have to obtain them through other means. I guess they have learned a little financially. He wanted to sell domestic silver ore by means, so he chose Baoxin County. "
Zhang Xiaobao used to analyze Japan specifically, and finally found that they are actually similar to the Chinese. They are both warlike, sometimes very weak and contradictory. There is not much difference in history. One piece of history is one piece. The Ministry is full of blood, tears, and a history of war between powers.
To say the difference is that their living environment is not very good.
Old man Zhang nodded at this time and said, "Oh, I want to make it clear, it turns out that they wanted to defeat Xiaobao and you chose Baoxin County."
"Grandpa Zhang, no, they are coming to me in a leisurely way? They want to get closer to Luoyang, but they can't be too prosperous and critical. The critical places are too strict and the foundation of the prosperous county is too solid. Choosing Baoxin County is just right, this is not the end, but perhaps because of their lack of personnel in Datang, I have ignored them."
Zhang Xiaobao was also very depressed. He was sitting in the middle of the county, and someone dared to come over and make an idea. He really didn't use bean buns as dry food.
"Are you sure it's Japan?" Old man Yao asked.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaobao replied: "Uncertain, I can only say that the possibility is very high. From their methods, it can be seen that they are not trying to fight a large-scale economic war or a currency war. They just want to train. A more reasonable hotbed for selling silver mines is the environment."
"Don't want to fight? Then they go to Xinyuan Island to organize people to make trouble?" Old Man Bi asked incredulously.
"I'm not sure. It's just a guess. Only they have such motivation and strength. They need food and population supplements. There is no rush, and no one can make waves. I feel that they have affected me. I believe it. Before I finished the county’s development, they came."
In fact, Zhang Xiaobao was already very convinced that it was the Japanese who were operating behind him, and he knew what they wanted to do. He thought he could find Beckham and the others in a few days, but he might have to delay.
The old man Bi and the three looked at each other, and found that there was nothing wrong with them. There were Xiaobao and the cuckoo, and whoever made trouble was unlucky. Just wait and see.
The group went out of the Fengwu Pavilion and returned to the Yamen. He Yiwei quickly posted today’s chart and started to tell the people how much money there is in the Yamen and what they are planning to do. There is more money in the Yamen now, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan has determined the model projects in various places, and the money that should be given to Yamen has been directly charged to the account.
He was supposed to talk about two hours slowly, but He Yiwei finished it in half an hour. There were no words of encouragement inserted in it, and no stories were told. His vision of the future was also a sentence, and he hurried there. The room where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stayed.
The people are not enjoying themselves today. As long as they are okay, they have developed a habit. They go to the gate of the yamen in the morning and listen to the county magistrate. When the magistrate talks about what will happen in the county in the future, they will be happy and see the yamen account. There is more money on the table, and I am equally happy.
The people no longer feel that Yamen is very far away from themselves, and they have treated Baoxin County as their own home, but today is too short. The people hurriedly came and went back sullenly.
Zhang Xiaobao took out the map and was about to ask Wang Juan. He suddenly saw He Yiwei coming and asked him "He County Order, the map outside?"
"It's finished, let's give a brief introduction today, and talk in detail tomorrow." He Yiwei replied slightly.
"Oh, that's okay, how about the county magistrate, why don't he come to the front and plan together?" Zhang Xiaobao knew that He Yiwei was worried about it, and that's the case, it's better to be generous.
He Yiwei nodded happily: "Okay, okay, that's it, oh, it's not about planning, learning, do you want to catch them and not let them sell ore?"
"That's not necessary. It just needs to destroy the environment and see where there are no people nearby. Mark it out. It's useful, Juanjuan. Is there a coal mine not far from here?"
Zhang Xiaobao unfolded the map to show He Yiwei and Wang Juan.
Wang Juan pointed to a position two inches above and said, "There is a coal mine here. How can there be no coal in Henan?"
He Yiwei also found a place with no people nearby.
Zhang Xiaobao felt relieved and said, "I will check the silver mine business for a while, and prepare to swallow the goods."
…
The place where Baoxin County was originally used as a bazaar has been surrounded by people, with merchants, common people, and literati who curiously watched the hawking by the Sihai Academy.
Piles of silver ore have been tested by people who are knowledgeable. It is indeed a good mine. If you take out a piece of silver ore, you can see that it can produce silver. The only uncomfortable place is once the ore is removed from the car. If you unload the piles, no one is allowed to look through them.
After all, many experienced people can estimate the silver content of a certain ore by the weight and volume in their hands.
When Zhang Xiaobao and his party came over, the people gave way when they saw it. Zhang Xiaobao and the others easily came to the front. Xianger also followed Wang Juan with a cup of grape powder in his hand. This time it was not wine. Seeing piles of stones on the ground, there was no silver in sight, so he asked curiously:
"Sister, do you think they would put the broken stones in the pile, just say it is silver ore? Who bought the kind that was fooled?"
"They dare not. Now I can use administrative means to clean them up, buy and sell silver mines privately, and also wantonly custom currency rules, and then sell fakes. Are they going to die?"
Wang Juan hugged Xiang'er, swept his eyes around, and explained.
Xianger took a sip of grape juice and asked, "Why didn't my sister clean them up?"
"Because I am short of silver, politics in my sister's eyes is to make the people live a good life by formulating rules. Because of the different ideas when formulating the rules, this evolved into a political struggle. Therefore, when I am short of silver, we need Give a certain political tilt."
Wang Juan thinks that Xiang'er is a good girl, cheerful and easy to learn, and she doesn't have the very cautious look of children in other villages, so she wants to teach her more.
How could Xiang'er understand such a thing at this time, looking at Wang Juan in doubt.
Wang Juan hugged Xiang'er again and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as you know that your sister is helping Brother Xiaobao to get more money for Ben Chao."
"Can you get it?" Xianger looked forward to it.
"Yes, let’s get some tax first, but you have to pay tax for buying and selling. If they say that silver ore is currency, my sister will directly seize him. If they say that silver ore is a commodity, then tax must be paid, and there is no fixed tax. My elder sister sets ten taxes for them, and he will receive ten pennies for one hundred pennies in the transaction. This is the sinister part of your brother Xiaobao."
Wang Juan smiled and rubbed his face against Xiang'er. Xiang'er looked at Zhang Xiaobao in confusion. In any case, he did not see a sinister look from Zhang Xiaobao's body.
Because the people in Sihai Academy are mixed, not all students who specialize in literature, more foreigners go to learn technology, and people from the Tang Dynasty also mixed things in it. Compared with the students in other academies, They are more outgoing and least affected by worldly rules.
At this time, someone stood in front of a large pile of silver ore and said to the crowd onlookers: "The price of silver is getting higher and higher, but the price of silver ore is cheaper. It is better to buy silver ore for refining. Do you want it? Behind me. The reserve price for this pile is only two hundred."
"Which pile of silver ore can extract two hundred taels?" Zhang Xiaobao turned to ask a craftsman who had once been rewarded by Yamen.
The craftsman’s eyes have been staring at the piles of ore. Hearing Zhang Xiaobao’s question, he respectfully replied: “I just took a few pieces and looked at it. This time the ore is really good. Two hundred and sixty taels to two hundred and eighty taels of silver, and I don’t know where they got them."
