Chapter 318
Ishijian Yinshan's output is undoubtedly huge. Before he had no ability, he could only watch helplessly. Now that he has the strength, of course he must take it down.

Not only Iwami Yinshan, but also the entire Wa country.

These shogunates and various feudal lords must be cleaned up and thrown into the garbage dump.

There was a very unpleasant smell in the air of Iwami Yinshan, which made people sick.

Mining will always be a polluting industry.

There is no concept of environmental protection in this era, so naturally no one cares.

Besides, according to the nature of Japanese pirates, even if the pollution is heavy, they still don't care.

People who dare to drink nuclear wastewater still care about this?
There are a large number of laborers around Yinshan, and they repeat complicated and monotonous work.

Under the ragged clothes is a skinny body.

The ribs are as clear as the steel bars on the construction site, and the eyes are dull, like the living dead.

Yasuhara Denbei's subordinates were patrolling around with whips in their hands, and if there was someone who was lazy, they would whip them.

In recent days, Yasuhara Denbei has been continuously squeezing these workers in order to increase production. This is the most direct and stupid way to increase production.

Yasuhara Denbei looked at the few people standing in front of him, and he thought about it.

If it is really possible to increase the production of Yinshan, these people will be killed at that time, so as not to leak the secrets here.

Chen Pinghe stared at the silver mountain in front of him intently, and thought in his heart: "If we can get those tools from Chang'an City and mine a small silver mine, it will not be a problem at all."

In today’s Chang’an, in mining, there are special trucks for transporting ore, special steam pumps for pumping water, steam blowers for blowing air into the mine, and steam excavators for digging mountains.

Today's Chang'an City has already played with steam engines.

"If we can win this mountain of silver, the output will definitely skyrocket!" Chen Pinghe thought happily.

Yasuhara Chuanbei was thinking about Chen Pinghe's craftsmanship, and Chen Pinghe was thinking about Ishijian Yinshan.

Both of them have ghosts in their hearts, and the follow-up depends on whether their personal methods are superb.

"Speaking of which, this silver mountain has been mined for a long time. Someone mined it more than 200 years ago. At that time, because the craftsmen were not good enough, the amount of silver mined was very small, basically just wandering around the surface of the silver mountain.

It hasn't been many years since the serious mining of large quantities, and there is still a lot of silver here, at least it can be mined for hundreds of years! " Yasuhara Chuanbei said.

He is the leader of Yinshan, so he naturally knows the basic situation.

"Well, let's go in and have a look first, let me see the quality of the ore veins inside!" Chen Pinghe pointed to the several mines ahead and said.

Without even thinking about it, Yasuhara Denbei led a few people into a mine.

This mine is the largest mine in the entire Iwami Yinshan. It is located at the bottom of the Yinshan, and it is also the place with the best ore quality in the entire Yinshan.

As soon as he walked in, a damp musty smell came over the surface, and Chen Pinghe couldn't help covering his nose.

The torches on both sides of the tunnel were burning quietly, but the smoke was very strong, mixed with the musty smell, which irritated the nostrils.

Chen Pinghe carefully looked at both sides of the surrounding tunnels, constantly observing the direction of the ore veins.

He only knows a little about mineral veins, a little, but not much.

An excellent agent needs to master a lot of things, which also causes the knowledge he masters will not be very detailed.

I can roughly see the direction of the mineral veins, and keep it firmly in my heart.

"This mine was excavated about 30 years ago. It is the largest ore vein in Yinshan and the one with the most silver ore. The quality is very good.

There are about 300 miners working in the mine. A while ago, the shogunate issued an order to expand production, so these miners began to work overtime, and many people died as a result.

A few days ago, I sent the Yinshan garrison to catch some strong men from the nearby villages. I think it should be soon, and it won't be long before I can come back! "

Yasuhara Denbei introduced the situation here in detail.

It's as if there is no fear of the secrets here being leaked out.

In fact, he had long regarded Chen Pinghe and the others as dead.

No matter how much you say to a dead man, there is nothing to worry about.

Chen Pinghe has a very good memory, and he remembered all these things in his heart in an instant.

These are all information, and when there is time, they will be sent back.

At the same time, in the residential area near the mine, in a wooden house, a few warriors with crescent hair were constantly flipping through the room.

This is the room arranged by Yasuhara Chuanbei for Chen Pinghe and the others. These warriors are looking for Chen Pinghe's belongings.

But most of these items are just ordinary items, without any value, and the most expensive one may be the big black iron pot.

No suspicious items were found, and the warriors put the items back in their original places and walked out quietly.

Yasuhara Chuanbei also led Chen Pinghe and the others out of the mine. As soon as he came out, a warrior came from the residential area.

Chen Pinghe watched the warrior walk up to Yasuhara Denbei with his own eyes, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.

You don't have to think about it, you know what the samurai is talking about.

It's a pity that Chen Pinghe didn't bring anything except a small radio when he came here this time.

And that small radio station was disassembled by Chen Pinghe, disguised as a personal item, and handed over to the followers.

Yasuhara Denbei breathed a sigh of relief, and believed a lot in the identities of Chen Pinghe and others.

In the past, facing the craftsmen from the Central Plains, Yasuhara Denbei would not be polite at all, and directly forced them with a knife.

It's different now. If these craftsmen are really pushed into a hurry and they don't say anything, then he will be the one who is unlucky.

At this critical juncture, we can only hold it carefully.

It's not too late to kill these people after they hand over their craftsmanship.

"I don't know, what good crafts and methods do you guys have?" Yasuhara Denbei said impatiently.

Chen Pinghe understood why Yasuhara Denbei was so anxious.

Even if Chen Pinghe has advanced craftsmanship, he will not help the Japanese pirates, let alone he has nothing.

However, he still pretended to be very old-fashioned, pinched his chin, and said with a frown: "You know this, and it's not an easy task. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I know you are also in a hurry now." , but you also understand what we are here for!"

The purpose of these words is for money.

That being said, if you don't want anything, you will be suspicious, even if you want money, you need a little more.

"You said, how much do you want? This mountain of silver is right in front of me. I'll give you as much as you want!" Yasuhara Denbei said indifferently.

Anyway, it's just empty talk now, when the time comes, it's not up to me whether to give it or not.

"Not much, 50 taels of silver. As you know, we are all talented people. If we can easily hand over the craftsmanship we have mastered, how will we survive in the future!" Chen Pinghe stretched out five fingers and said.

Yasuhara Denbei's temples were bulging, he thought that these people would open their mouths like a lion, but he didn't expect that they would open their mouths like this.

"You are robbing, you are robbing in the open!" Yasuhara Chuanwei cursed viciously.

Of course he could agree to Chen Pinghe's request, but he agreed too decisively, for fear of arousing suspicion.

So pretend to bargain.

After a while of bargaining between the two parties, the price was set at 10 taels of silver.

After getting a "satisfactory" answer, Chen Pinghe began to map the topography of Iwami Yinshan.

The drawing is called a detailed one, and even the various mines and the direction of the terrain are involved in it.

Chen Pinghe even told Yasuhara Denbei that the new technology will transform the entire Iwami Ginzan, so the entire mountain range must be drawn in detail.

Without too much doubt, I thought that was the case, and offered to help the two draw a topographic map.

Today's Tokugawa Iemitsu has long lost his previous domineering, and has become a sickly sick child.

Singing and dancing in the Tokugawa shogunate's mansion raised the peace, and the sound of bamboo silk was curled up.

Today, Tokugawa Iemitsu just recovered from a serious illness. For the sake of "joy", those ministers of Tokugawa Iemitsu selected many talented and beautiful dancers from Yamanote and the whole Edo to sing and dance in the general's mansion.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sat on the main seat, drinking a cup of tea quietly.

But he was not interested in the scene in front of him, what he was thinking about was whether the envoys he sent out had seen Sun Jie.

The current veteran Ota Zizong sat at his lower seat, observing Tokugawa Iemitsu's face all the time.

Although Ota Zizong was Tokugawa Iemitsu's favorite minister, his ability was limited, and he was not paid too much attention by Tokugawa Iemitsu. He was usually in charge of literary affairs.

But now, Matsudaira Nobuzuna and Hota Masamori are trapped in North Korea and the Central Plains and cannot return, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's health is declining, so he can only hand over the position of senior middle school to him.

Ota Takamune, Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Abe Tadaaki, Hota Masamori, Miura Shoji, and Abe Shigetsu are known as the six people, and they are the most trusted people of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Although Doi Toshikatsu is also very capable, he is old and obviously not suitable.

"Singing and dancing are good, but my heart is not here!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu put down the tea in his hand and spoke.

Ota Zizong looked at him and hurriedly asked: "But it doesn't suit your appetite?!"

"The dancing girl has a graceful figure, and she has a full waist and limbs. Why doesn't it suit my appetite? It's just that the big event is undecided, and I really don't have the heart to appreciate it!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said.

"Get back!"

Ota Zizong waved his hand, and all the dancers in the room retreated.

The room became quiet in an instant, and even felt quite empty.

When Ota Zizong was about to persuade, a samurai hurried in from the outside with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing the samurai who ran in, Ota Zizong knew something was wrong.

But now Tokugawa Iemitsu has just recovered from a serious illness, if he is frightened again, something will definitely happen.

So he hurriedly stood up, grabbed the warrior, and took him outside before he could speak.

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?!" Ota Zizong asked hurriedly.

The samurai said: "It's not good, Changzhou, Satsuma, Hizen and Tosa are going to rebel!"

"What? Is this true or not?" Ota Zizong screamed, and cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead.

The Changzhou Domain, Satsuma Domain, Hizen Domain, and Tosa Domain were already at odds with the Shogunate, and it is normal for such a thing to happen now.

During the Meiji Restoration, these four vassals were the main force to overthrow the shogunate.

It's normal to be able to rebel now.

Since Tokugawa Iemitsu's elites couldn't come back, he sent a large number of spies to these places.

These four places are originally wolf ambitions, so they must be guarded in advance.

At first, they were unresponsive.

That's because they were afraid that this was a trap set by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

In the past few years, Tokugawa Iemitsu has set up quite a few traps, and he is frightened, so naturally he must deal with them carefully.

After a long time, they found something was wrong.

If it was really a trap, how could there be such a big fight?

The Satsuma domain is not far from North Korea, so you can know the current situation on the sea casually.

After grasping the current situation, he felt more and more that this was an opportunity.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the Satsuma family alone is still not enough.

I just thought of getting a few people to do it together.

They gathered in Kagoshima, Satsuma Domain a few days ago and reached an alliance.

But for some reason, things suddenly came to light.

"Is what you said true or false? This matter is very important, and there must be no negligence!" Ota Zizong looked anxious.

"It's absolutely true, absolutely true!" replied the warrior.

Ota Zizong's face suddenly became ugly.

This fact is too important and must be reported to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

But now Tokugawa Iemitsu is a sick child again, what if he finds out about this, one can't hold back, and gets sick again?
The situation is difficult now, and so many people are relying on him.

If something goes wrong, it's really over.

In just a short moment, Ota Zizong thought of countless results.

In the current situation, Tokugawa Iemitsu dared not have any problems at all.

If one of them didn't pay attention and closed his breath, the entire Tokugawa shogunate would be over.

As the most loyal retainers of the Tokugawa shogunate, those who rebel will not let them go easily.

Ota Zizong also understands that he and Tokugawa Ieko are just grasshoppers on the same rope, and they both prosper and lose together.

But if he didn't tell Tokugawa Iemitsu about this matter, he couldn't handle it himself.

Regarding the rebellion of these four vassals, they either sent troops to suppress them, or sent envoys to seek peace.

But no matter which way, he has no right to control, and the power will always be in the hands of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

So, if you don't tell Tokugawa Iemitsu, there is no way to solve this matter.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to tell Iemitsu Tokugawa about it.

"You will come in with me later, and act according to my face. Remember, you must act according to my face. There must be no overstepping. The general can no longer be provoked!" Ota Zizong frowned, patiently exhorting.

Afterwards, he sorted out his mentality and took the warrior into the hall.

Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Ota Zizong who had gone and returned, and asked, "Is there something wrong?!"
