It is said that the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty wanted to mine silver on the Yin Mountain outside Yincheng.
Some of these Japanese people originally lived near here.
They have never heard that there are silver mines in this silver mountain.
Well, this mountain was not originally called Yinshan. It was given the name by the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
However, since the King of Shu wants to mine, he is now ready to recruit people.
I heard that working in the silver mines is tiring and life-threatening.
But the wages are high, thirty cents a day and three meals a day.
Thirty cents!
Oh my god!
This day's wages are worth three times the wages they spent building a house!
It’s worth six times or even ten times the wages they earned for their previous work.
They couldn't even imagine such wages before.
As a result, among the 100,000 Japanese people, applicants gathered.
The people here are basically all young and strong.
Of course, women cannot work in the mines.
And men, basically all came to sign up.
Of course, the first batch will not require so many people.
The job of selecting people is done by Guishan.
Guishan was the first high-ranking Japanese official to seek refuge with the King of Shu.
Moreover, Guishan's daughter Yinghua is still serving the King of Shu.
It is impossible for Li Min not to take care of Guishan.
The responsibility for the silver mine fell to Guishan.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Min to delegate all power to him.
Naturally, there will be a department to supervise him.
Guishan also cherishes this hard-won opportunity.
Although he is only in charge of a mine now, it seems to be much smaller than his previous official position.
But things are different now.
Guishan knew very well that his ability to win such a position had something to do with his daughter Sakura.
However, if he is not qualified for this work group, I am afraid there will be no follow-up.
As long as he does this job well and lets the King of Shu see his ability, then he might get greater opportunities in the future.
As for whether there is really the world's largest silver mine on top of this silver mountain, Guishan actually doesn't believe it.
This king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful despite his exhaustive strategy in fighting.
But I haven't even heard that he sent people to explore this silver mountain.
Could it be that he can guess what is going on?
Can you tell with your own eyes that this mountain contains a lot of silver?
Or is it the largest in the world?
Guishan absolutely refused to believe this kind of thing.
But, whether there is or not, he has to get things done.
Even if not, as long as the King of Shu can see his ability, it will be enough.
If there was one, he would have sent it.
This position is not even less powerful than his previous one!
Therefore, Guishan worked extremely hard when selecting the first batch of people.
The Japanese people who were selected were all dancing with excitement.
Those who were not selected were extremely frustrated.
Although people have said that they will continue to recruit people after the second batch.
Moreover, more and more manpower will be recruited, and with so many people in Yincheng, it may not be enough.
But in their hearts, they actually didn't have much hope.
Is there really a lot of silver in this mountain?
These people actually don't really believe it.
Guishan's ability is quite strong.
All matters were carried out step by step and in an orderly manner in his hands.
The mining of silver mines is also in full swing.
In order to prevent these workers from worrying, the current wages are set at one per day.
There are thirty pennies every day.
The first batch of workers who worked in the mine became the envy of those around them after they returned home.
And he is loved and sought after by young girls.
Every worker is pursued by at least a dozen or even more girls.
The other young people, more often than not, are envious, jealous, and hateful.
Ten days later, workers who were mining suddenly discovered a touch of silver in the stone reinforcements.
"The silver is out! The silver is out! The silver is really out!"
There is actually silver in this mountain of silver!
In fact, they were very panicked because they could not find any money.
Because they really like the work here and wish they could do it for the rest of their lives.
But if they can't find the silver mountain, how long can they do it?
But now, they finally found the money, so they were completely relieved.
Guishan, the person in charge here, hurried over after hearing the news.
As a manager, he was actually very anxious.
If the silver mine is never found, I'm afraid his job as a manager will come to an end.
What's even more worrying is that until now, he hasn't been able to express himself better!
And now, when he heard that the silver was finally out, he acted even more excited.
Soon, Guishan appeared on the scene.
"It's really a silver mine! There's really silver!"
The Japanese country was originally rich in silver, and there were many people here who had experience in judging whether a silver mine had rich reserves.
Guishan couldn't help but ask: "Look, what is the storage capacity of this silver mine?"
Although silver mines have been discovered, the extent of the reserves is still unknown, so Guishan is still a little worried.
I heard a report from the Miners' Report: "General Manager, this is a rich mine! Rich mine!"
"Look at the color and the width. I have never seen a better silver mine in my life!"
"I dare not say that this is the largest silver mine in the world, but at least it is also the largest silver mine in Japan!"
Snapped!
Guishan slapped the miner hard.
Guishan slapped him with all his strength, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, and half of his face was as swollen as fermented steamed buns.
This slap directly sent the miner spinning in a wide circle.
That wasn't the end of it, Guishan stepped up and kicked him to the ground.
The miner was holding his stomach on the ground in pain and bent into a prawn shape.
The other miners, seeing the general manager Guishan getting angry for no reason, took a step back in horror.
The miner who was kicked to the ground by Guishan asked in confusion: "Manager, why did you hit the younger one? What did the younger one say wrong?"
Could it be that I was wrong in saying that this place is a rich mine?
Guishan sneered and said, "What's wrong? You still don't know?"
"You just said that we are all Japanese countries? Now, where are the Japanese countries? Give them back to us? Who are you and us?"
"If you are looking for death yourself, don't take me with you! Now, we are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and we must only have the Tang Dynasty in our eyes!"
Hearing Guishan's words, the miner couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The miners around him couldn't help but suddenly realized.
The miner who was kicked to the ground struggled to get up and kowtowed to Guishan several times on the ground.
"I would like to thank the manager for not killing me."
What he just said was enough to behead him.
The manager's beating of him just now was actually an extrajudicial act of kindness.
Guishan nodded and said, "It's good that you know. You must be careful what you say in the future."
"However, a silver mine was discovered today, and it is the largest silver mine in the world. This is good news!"
"As for you today, just go back and rest. After you have rested, you can come back to work tomorrow! By the way, you go and pay fifty cents, which is your wages for today. Just say it was the manager who said so!"
"Yes, yes, thank you manager, thank you manager!"
The miners were beaten to the point of tears of gratitude.
Although he was beaten, the manager was doing it for his own good. This was a life-saving grace.
Moreover, after being beaten, he was asked to go back to rest and gave him fifty coins.
Such treatment made other miners wish they had been beaten, even if it was a severe beating.
The news of a rich mine on the Silver Mountain spread like wildfire.
And Guishan also started to recruit workers again.
This time we are recruiting a lot of workers.
When silver mines appeared, more manpower was needed.
Mining ore requires a lot of manpower, and mining and extracting it requires manpower.
After extraction, it is cast into silver ingots, which also requires manpower.
The second batch of recruitment directly recruited tens of thousands of people.
Moreover, this time it is not limited to young men, but also women.
Of course, women's jobs are simple tasks, basically cooking and so on.
Moreover, the daily wages are only ten cents.
However, even a salary of ten cents surprised those women.
Just like in the past, how dare they imagine that they would be paid ten cents a day!
However, even so, it is impossible for all the 100,000 people gathered in Silver City to be used in a short period of time.
Guishan estimates that it will take at least two or three years before everyone can use it.
At this time, Li Min, the king of Shu, and King Luo Bin, the governor of Haibei Province, came to inspect.
Guishan hurried over to accompany him and took the two of them around the construction sites of Yincheng and Yinshan.
After the inspection, Li Min and King Luo Bin looked at each other and nodded slightly.
This Guishan still has some abilities.
This mine was managed in an orderly manner by him.
From now on, you can safely leave this task to him.
Of course, we must also beware of his corruption and bribery.
King Luo Bin couldn't help but ask: "Manager Gui, your work is going well. By the way, do you have any difficulties here?"
After hesitating for a moment, Guishan finally said it.
Speaking out may leave an impression of poor ability on the superior officer.
But he really couldn't solve this problem.
If he doesn't solve this problem, something big will happen sooner or later, and by then, his end may be even worse.
Guishan couldn't help but say: "Jiedu Envoy, I really have a problem with lowering my rank."
"There are more than 100,000 people in Silver City, but the mine that can be used for the time being is only 10,000 or 20,000 people."
"It is estimated that it will take two or three years to gradually expand the manpower to 50,000 or 60,000 people, or even more."
"But now the work has just begun, and we really don't need that many people."
"The remaining people have no jobs, and the surrounding land is quite barren. They simply cannot support themselves by farming."
"As for how to solve their food problem, I really don't know what to do."
Hearing Guishan's question, King Luo Bin couldn't help but nodded.
Then he smiled and said: "The number of workers in your mine now is already 15,000 or 6,000, right?"
Guishan couldn't help but nodded and said: "Back to Jiedushi, it's like this."
King Luo Bin continued: "Actually, there are still many employment opportunities."
"For example, some miners are single. Who will wash the clothes? Who will mend the clothes if they are torn?"
"So, we can organize women to open starch washing shops, and we can also help them sew and mend."
"In addition, you can sell various snacks."
"After the silver mine is mined, silver ingots must be cast. After the casting is completed, it must be transported out, right?"
"This requires a driver."
"At the same time, I will also vigorously assist you in your work. Now the development of the entire Haibei Province is tilted towards Yincheng first."
"I will build a road in Silver City. It needs to be extremely wide and can accommodate at least eight carriages side by side."
"Set obstacles in the middle, drive in one direction on both sides of the road, and absolutely no chaos is allowed."
"So, you still need police officers to maintain order in this silver city."
"It requires a lot of manpower. These 100,000 people will not be idle."
"If you can do a good job in Yinshan and Yincheng, I will make you the lord of Yincheng and be responsible for everything in Yincheng and Yinshan mines."
Upon hearing the news, Guishan's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is really great!
The lord of Yin City has more real power than he had before!
He Guishan must seize this opportunity no matter what!
So, Guishan immediately said: "Yes, Shangguan! I promise to complete the task!"
In the following time, road construction began in Yincheng.
Guishan also began to recruit manpower, and led the people of Yincheng to open shops to benefit them and increase their employment opportunities.
Guishan was so busy that he almost had no time to rest, but he enjoyed it very much.
Because with the smooth progress of various tasks, the entire Yincheng was completely revitalized by him.
The Jiedushi did not break his promise and directly let him take the position of acting lord of Yincheng.
After three months, if nothing goes wrong, he will become the first lord of Yincheng.
A large number of the new houses they built have been sold.
The miners who work on Yinshan Mountain are almost all the same.
Their wages are thirty cents a day.
That's 600 cash a month, and their monthly repayment amount is only 200 cash.
For them, it is an easy matter.
The first batch of houses were sold out quickly.
Now, the second batch of houses is already under construction.
The entire Silver City is being discovered at a rapid speed.
Of course, this development is not limited to Yincheng.
Rather, the entire Haibei Province is undergoing rapid development.
However, Yincheng is the one with the fastest development speed.
Of course, this is why Haibei Province develops so rapidly.
It is completely inseparable from the support of Datang.
The treasury of the Tang Dynasty was so full that it couldn't even finish the food.
Nowadays, many people are studying how to add value to food and process it into various delicacies for sale.
And now?
Because of the rapid development of Haibei Province, a large amount of food and various materials are needed.
This has caused a slight increase in the price of food.
Haibei Province, on the other hand, developed even more rapidly because of the support of Datang.
This is simply a win-win situation.
On the Haibei Province side, the silver mines are gradually getting on track.
The engraved and printed silver ingots are being continuously transported to Datang.
In the Tang Dynasty, the era of using silver as currency officially began.
With the injection of Japanese silver, Datang finally no longer had to worry about currency shortages.
Haibei Province's huge silver storage capacity and huge import function also made the imperial court begin to pay attention to Haibei Province.
Except for the amount of silver that must be imported every year, all other policies began to tilt towards Haibei Province.
King Luo Bin, the governor of Haibei Province, also began to introduce a large number of various technical talents from the Tang Dynasty.
For example, the monthly salary of agricultural talents in Datang is about six thousand yuan, which is six thousand yuan a month.
The monthly salary provided by the Japanese country was directly fifteen guan.
Moreover, as long as you come to Japan, you will be assigned a house immediately.
You can even be assigned a daughter-in-law if you wish.
These technical talents, who earn high salaries every month, have too much room to choose if they want to arrange a wife.
These agricultural talents are definitely treasures.
They can guide local people on how to plant and mix according to the soil and climate of Haibei Province.
I believe that within two years at most, the entire Japanese country will be self-sufficient in advance, which will definitely not be a problem.
There are also experts in the breeding industry.
They can help the people of Haibei Province to build chicken farms, duck farms and pig farms, and teach them how to raise animals scientifically.
The monthly salary for such a talent reaches twelve thousand yuan.
Even those accounting talents have a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.
Um, by the way, Datang has now introduced silver.
As a place where silver is mined, Haibei Province also introduced a silver standard system.
The current monthly salary, agreed to be converted into silver, is ten taels of silver.
What kind of planning talents are there, etc., etc., to name a few.
Then, Li Min intervened and mobilized technical talents to build the power station.
Started to build power stations and signal towers in Japan.
I believe it won’t be long before Haibuk Province TV Station will be officially established.
In just a few months, Haibei Province has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The surviving Japanese people now live a life they never dreamed of before.
If they had known that becoming people of the Tang Dynasty would be so happy, I am afraid they would have cried and shouted that they wanted to become people of the Tang Dynasty.
But soon, they began to become dissatisfied with their lives.
Because there were some Tang people among them.
Well, now everyone is from the Tang Dynasty. These are just the Tang people from the inland areas.
They don't have to do any work, they just need to help them record their merits and calculate their wages.
For such a simple job, each of them earns two hundred and ten cents per day.
A full seven times as much as them.
As soon as they arrive, they will be assigned a house. As long as they work for ten years, the house will be theirs forever.
This kind of treatment makes them very envious.
They are also Tang people, but they are local, while those Tang people are from the interior.
Is the difference between people so big?
In everything, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
Some bold locals asked about this matter in a roundabout way.
The answer they received was that as long as they could write and calculate without making mistakes, their wages could reach this much.
But the problem is, they simply don’t know how!
At this time, some Chinese and arithmetic cram schools became popular among them.
These cram schools take full consideration of the fact that these workers have to go to work during the day.
Tutorial classes are only held in the evening.
It's not expensive, you only need to pay ten cents per day to study.
Well, actually the price of ten cents is not cheap.
After all, construction workers only earn ten cents a day.
But even so, there is still an endless stream of people attending training classes every day.
After all, as long as they can learn well, they don't need to do anything but write calculations.
Moreover, the wages for this job are fully seven times their current wages.
In Haibei Province, a wave of Chinese language soon started to spread.
…
The recent development of Yincheng can be said to be rapid.
The city lord Guishan is very busy every day, but he feels particularly fulfilled.
Every day I see changes taking place in the area under my jurisdiction.
Seeing that the lives of the people under his rule were getting better little by little, Guishan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
It turns out that being an official is not only about responsibility and the feeling of having great power, but also about this incomparable sense of pride and superiority.
However, Guishan has also discovered some bad signs recently.
Anything that develops to a certain extent will inevitably bring about some negative things.
The bad sign Guishan discovered was that someone had recently secretly taken out silver mines.
This silver ore has a high concentration and can be refined into pure silver with a little refinement.
The benefits here are naturally much higher than simply earning wages.
This trend must be stopped, otherwise it will bring huge losses to the silver mine.
Guishan decided to investigate this matter closely in the near future.
This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud.
On this day, Guishan led a large number of guards and lurked outside.
Then, when the workers started to leave work one after another, the door was closed.
Everyone was blocked in the yard.
Guishan led the soldiers and surrounded the workers.
This scene made all the workers panic.
So what happened?
Could it be that something unexpected is going to happen again?
These people have all experienced previous wars.
Seeing the siege by the army, the expressions of these workers changed.
Seeing this scene, Guishan didn't have much explanation.
Instead, they first dispatched a large army and directly asked these workers to line up according to the queue.
Then there are gaps between each row and column.
In this way, it will be easier for them to search, and you will not be afraid of them secretly abandoning it or hiding it.
At this time, Guishan took out a loudspeaker and shouted: "Don't worry, there is no need to panic."
"The reason why I asked you to come here is because, recently, someone's hands and feet have been unclean!"
"Someone is secretly stealing ore from the mine! Hmph! Such a wolf-hearted thing! Has your conscience been eaten up enough?"
