- After resting on the island for a night and taking a nice bath in the hot springs, Mr. Zhao appeared in high spirits in front of everyone the next day.
The entourage of hundreds of people is already ready to go. In the middle of the team were several identical black carriages.
Mr. Zhao and Secretary Ma randomly got into a car, and the team gathered around the carriage and slowly headed south along the road that ran through the plain.
The place we want to go to today is Sado Kaneyama.
He took great pains to acquire Sado Island. In addition to farming, the main purpose was because it had the largest gold and silver mine in Japan, which was said to have supported the Edo Shogunate for 300 years. In another time and space, even though the most advanced machinery and equipment were used for mining after the Meiji Restoration, the gold and silver resources here were gradually exhausted until 1989.
The only fly in the ointment is that unlike Iwami Ginzan, which has been maturely mined for decades, Sado Kaneyama has not yet been discovered, so it has to be found among the vast mountains first.
¡°Otherwise, we would have to wait decades later, until the 29th year of Wanli, the year after the Battle of Sekigahara, and the first two years before the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate. As a result, Echigo's dragon, who was greedy for money, did not get a piece of Sado gold, but he got Ieyasu's old turtle in vain.
Thinking about it this way, this is a good thing. If we find out now, Sister Uesugi has sent heavy troops to garrison Sado Island long ago. How can she still have her own advantage?
Fortunately, there are still some clues.
First of all, in this era, two gold and silver mines, Nishi-Mikawa placer gold mountain and Tsuruko Ginzan, have been discovered on Sado Island. The former is located in the Xiaomuwan area and was originally owned by the Yumao family. The latter is in the deep mountains of Zegen and belongs to the territory of the Wadahara family.
"The Honma family has no hair at all This is the fundamental reason why the three families, who were originally harmonious, became enemies of life and death.
As for why Uesugi Kenshin is not jealous, it is because these two mines are too small to be noticed by the elder sister. The Narumi Gold Mountain in Echigo was famous for its rich mines at this time, and gold mining was a labor-intensive industry. Of course, the richest mines had to be chosen for mining.
If Kenshin Uesugi knew the existence of Sado Kaneyama, would he be jealous or not?
Secondly, Sado Gold Mountain was discovered in Aikawa not far from Tsuruko Silver Mountain by the ¡®mountain master¡¯ who was searching for ore at Tsuruko Silver Mountain, so it is also called Aikawa Gold and Silver Mountain. The name Aikawa already existed at this time, and it was an area near the sea at the southwest end of the Dai Zhuangyuan Mountains.
Finally, the mineral processing plant of Sado Kaneyama is called Kitazawa Flotation Mineral Processing Plant. The reason why Mr. Zhao remembers it so clearly is because it is the prototype of Laputa, the Sky City.
Of course, those factories of the Industrial Revolution era have not yet appeared. But just the name Kitazawa is enough to further shrink the area.
Now that the Wadahara family has been naturalized, the mountain masters and miners of Tsuruko Ginzan have all been recruited by the Jiangnan Group with favorable conditions. After the probation period, miners can obtain overseas employee positions in the group. The mountain masters will directly become official employees and can be naturalized in the Ming Dynasty!
Unexpectedly, in this life, he became a heavenly man. Who would still consider themselves Japanese?
They told Zhao Ping, the general manager of the overseas mining company in charge of prospecting, that the Kitazawa the master mentioned should be the "Kitazawa Town" in the Aikawa area.
A town is the smallest divisional unit in Japanese, equivalent to a village in the Ming Dynasty.
The mineral processing plant needs to use a lot of water, so it must be located by the sea. "Kitazawa Town" happens to be close to the mountains and the sea, so it meets the requirements.
Therefore, the location of the mineral processing plant can be determined.
Although the gold mine cannot happen to be located on the seaside, it can be investigated backwards from the location of the mineral processing plant - after the gold mine is discovered, the mineral processing plant will definitely be set up at the most convenient location nearby. So whichever area in Kitazawa Town is the most convenient is where the gold mine is located.
??~~
Mr. Zhao thought that if he gave such a precise range, he would not be able to find the Sado Gold Mine easily?
Who would have thought that six Japanese mountain masters, plus ten ore prospecting masters hired from China, and more than a hundred apprentices and miners, searched for nearly half a year before discovering the mineral in the mountains 1.2 kilometers away from the mineral processing site. A vein of gold and silver!
Of course Zhao Hao had to take a look. In this era, the super-large silver mine was second only to the Potosi Silver Mine in South America. Yes, although Sado Jinshan is called Jinshan, it still mainly produces silver. The output of gold is only silver. A fraction.
In fact, this second level is very important, because the annual silver production of Sado Gold Mountain is less than one-fifth of the Potosi Silver Mine.
But fortunately, Mr. Zhao and Iwami Yinshan, if they all work hard to mine, the output can always reach 60-70% of the Posito Silver Mine, right?
This matter??. "Zhao Pingping said expressionlessly.
"That's different. It used to be a real stone, but now it's gold and silver ore!" Mr. Zhao laughed.
"Oh." Zhao Ping nodded, then raised his knife and killed Chat.
Mr. Zhao thought to himself, wasn¡¯t it because I left him in the quarry for so long that he became speechless?
In short, I couldn¡¯t bear to blame Zhao Ping, so I followed him silently to the mine.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping just doesn't talk nonsense, and his language is still very smooth when talking about serious matters. He told Zhao Hao that the Chinese and Japanese prospecting masters first found silver ore seedlings some small brown stones. Because the silver ore is buried very deep and has trunks and branches like branches, it is necessary to follow the ore seedlings and dig horizontally in several directions to find the ore veins.
When ore is found, it means that a mineral vein has been found.
?According to experience, mineral veins are hidden very deep, maybe more than ten or twenty feet underground. But I didn't expect that the ore would be dug out very quickly here. And it was discovered over a large area, which shows that this is indeed a large silver mine!
Having said this, he finally showed an expression of admiration on his face and said: "To be honest, when the young master sent the villain here to look for mines, I thought it was pure nonsense. How could we infer the unknown silver mine location just based on the location of it elsewhere?" With the location of the silver mine, what kind of business is there? You can search for the mine every day!"
Zhao Hao¡¯s face felt hot and he felt offended.
It's a pity that Zhao Ping didn't realize it at all, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "I didn't expect to find it so quickly. Moreover, the Japanese mountain master said that this must be a silver mine larger than Iwami Ginzan, and it is also accompanied by a huge number of silver mines." How little gold! The master¡¯s science is so great, but the villain is so blind that he cannot see the mountains!¡±
ps. It¡¯s not easy. I finally replaced Sunday¡¯s chapter. I¡¯m exhausted (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
