Liu Yan didn't see what he wanted to see. There are several super large gold mines and super large silver mines being mined in the rest of the Japanese islands. It's necessary to visit them.
The geographical location of the Japanese islands is located in the middle of the continental plate. Its formation was the collision and uplift of the continental shelf in ancient times, which was once a place full of volcanoes.
The collision of continental shelves will turn out some deep resources, especially volcanoes, which will lead to a terrible storage of some precious metals.
Before the Han people came to the Japanese islands, the Japanese actually began to dig for gold and silver, but their social structure doomed that food was the most precious. Because there is no prosperous maritime trading system, the glittering gold and silver are doomed to rot in the warehouse and can not give full play to the value of gold and silver.
At this moment, Liu Yan was standing in a warehouse. At a glance, the gold and silver ingots stacked in the shape of a pyramid reflected the light of the fire. Piles of shining gold and silver reflected each other. Unexpectedly, the light turned the whole warehouse into day.
"The quantity of gold and silver here is the same, but there is more gold than silver." Wang Ji didn't know so much. He was very surprised that gold was heavier than silver: "each warehouse has the same reserves. There are twelve such warehouses."
Liu Yan didn't lose relevant knowledge. He remembers that the gold per cubic centimeter is about 19g, but the silver per cubic centimeter is only about 10g. Of course, the same volume is that gold is heavier than silver.
To put it simply, the gold ingots in the warehouse are the same size as the silver ingots, but it takes two silver ingots to have one gold ingot, which is almost as heavy as their own value. That is, the silver in Zhuxia is far less than gold, which leads to the fact that silver is more valuable than gold
No kidding. After silver became a currency in circulation in Zhuxia, there was definitely more silver on the market than gold, but it was silver obtained from overseas through trade. For example, more than 80% of the silver of Zhu Ming generation came from the Japanese islands. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the new silver basically came from America, and the silver of America was not brought to the Manchu Qing Dynasty by Indians, It was brought by the European and Manchu trade.
Twelve warehouses each store two tons of gold and one ton of silver, that is, 24 tons of gold and 12 tons of silver. They are not all that the Han state obtained in the Japanese islands, but a new batch of goods waiting to be transported away.
"The great man obtained 87 tons of gold and 96 tons of silver from the Japanese Islands?" Liu Yan nodded when he got the answer and said, "it's far from enough to use."
In fact, Liu Yan doesn't know how much gold and silver are stored in the Japanese islands. Anyway, he just keeps mining and plundering. Compared with gold, he pays more attention to silver. The reason... Naturally, the system can turn into gold out of thin air, that is, he doesn't know whether he will disappear after his death, People are squandering the gold "transformed" by the system in any country other than Han.
Wang Meng lavishly spent money in Persia and even went to Rome to spread money. The gold he spent was a product of the system. If the Persians and Romans were willing, he even had the idea of spending money to buy land, just because the amount of gold was really too large.
In fact, Wang Meng's ambition is small. Liu Yan also wants to buy the whole world with gold. Unfortunately, many things must be non-sale.
Even with the 87 tons of gold and 96 tons of silver plundered from the Japanese islands, the current amount of gold and silver in the Han country must not be able to support the circulation on the market, which is why Liu Yan has not worked out the ternary monetary system of gold, silver and copper.
Why didn't Liu Yan get the paper money directly? First of all, any system has a process, usually driven by social needs.
For example, the trade is getting bigger and bigger, and it's too troublesome to pull a few carts of money when paying the bill, so it's ideal to deposit the money in an institution and pay the bill with the exchange voucher issued by the institution. If the reputation of the institution is good enough, it will not happen that someone wants to cash and can't take it out. The credit value of the voucher is recognized and people use it as a habit, then paper money will be accepted.
The truth is that, no matter in Zhuxia or elsewhere, a small number of people have made great trouble in replacing precious metals with paper money. Liu Bang instigated "replacing 100 money", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "White Deer money" and Yang Guang "being 100 money", which are all disguised plunder. For example, the paper money system was established in the Song Dynasty, which almost caused the national economy to collapse. It was only because the people of the Song Dynasty had a good background that the whole country did not go bankrupt, but the number of bankrupt vagrants was frightening.
At present, the main trading mode in the Han Dynasty is not much different from that in previous dynasties. Of course, the main currency in circulation is copper money, but barter is more common because the amount of copper money is not enough to support circulation. In addition, maybe the goods themselves have utilization value, but copper money can only be sold by people.
After seeing several representative gold and silver mines, there was no place worth visiting in the Japanese islands. He returned to Osaka port for a short stay. First, he had a necessary rest during the journey, and second, he waited for the Japanese dignitaries named.
"What kind of real idea the Japanese should have, it seems they didn't come." Liu Yan had told people in advance that taking away the Japanese people this time was to bring them back to the Han state for happiness, that is, it was not easy to return to the Japanese islands in the past: "even a casual County of the Han Dynasty, there should also be the largest town of the Japanese Islands with a more civilized atmosphere."
"They are superior people here, and their property is here..." Sang Yu actually felt that Liu Yan was forced too obviously, but he didn't worry at all: "I'm afraid there are no Japanese nobles who sincerely want to live in the Han Dynasty."
What I'm saying is that people who leave their hometown are cheap. It doesn't just mean that they go to a strange place without relatives, lose their dependence and are easy to be despised. In the final analysis, most of their property can't be taken away. When they go to a new place, they have to start over again. Especially when dignitaries are forced to change a place, not only everything they are familiar with will disappear, but also it's difficult to take all their dog legs away. How can they act as a bully!
Liu Yan didn't think that the Japanese people could move in good faith. What he was doing was just a necessary step for the Han country to obtain the rule of the Japanese islands. Instead of killing all the dignitaries or integrating them into the ruling class, he would move them all.
It must be said that if those Japanese dignitaries could cause unimaginable harm to the Han country, Liu Yan would not do things so rough.
The key problem is that even if the Japanese want to do something, they will at most stop the business of some minerals. When the Han Army works, some people are killed and injured, and the Japanese must die the most. Then it may make a fundamental change in the policy of the Han state on the Japanese Islands, such as from mild to fierce.
No matter what the Japanese do, it's just like that. There's no need to describe the actions of a group or a certain Japanese. Within the time limit specified by Liu Yan, Japanese people named by name came one after another. They generally took several cars of assets and some slaves, even pretending to go to the Han country. They were very happy, happy and looking forward to it
"I came and my family brought some." Yu Yi reported to Liu Yan after the arrival of the last Japanese dignitaries named: "some of them left the first heir in order. The smart one brought the first heir in order and left the rest of their children."
Liu Yan knew that the Japanese people named would come. At present, the Japanese Isles are very diverse, but their living environment is doomed. He is too tolerant when he clearly knows that things can't be done.
All island countries or nations in narrow regions in the world have such commonalities. When they are weaker than people, their servility is higher than the sky, but when they are stronger than people, they can do things and be extremely cruel than anyone.
When the Japanese arrived, they showed the greatest humility, even if they couldn't see Liu Yan's shadow. Kneeling down to Liu Yan's position was a necessary procedure, and they had to be a slave to the Han people with a little identity.
Liu Yan once inadvertently saw a Japanese dignitary treat the Han people standing guard carefully. He didn't know how to think of some things in the Sino Japanese war. For example, even a senior official should be like a dog leg to flatter a Japanese squadron leader. He was deeply afraid that if there was something wrong in his attitude, he would burp the whole family.
"That's all I can do." Sang Yu said that the Japanese dignitaries gave in without a bottom line, so it's not good to continue to make trouble: "with them, it's more convenient for the big Han to enslave the lower Japanese."
Liu Yan has to admit that this is the truth. It's like when the British colonized India, they maintained a certain degree of respect for the three high castes in order to better enslave those low castes and make the utilized nations produce the greatest value. Some things really have to be done.
The fleet set off again. Their next destination is Yizhou, not far from the mainland. After arriving at the destination, they will stop for a while.
"Your Majesty, some Japanese people are very careful to test." Yu Yi thought it was funny: "they were worried that they would be left in the sea."
Liu Yan had this idea, but it just flashed away. He is now the son of heaven. If he is a person with some power, it is quite appropriate to do so, but it is not good to do so as the son of heaven.
The reason is very simple. At present, no Japanese can cause incalculable harm to the Han country. Others yield like that, cheat them out and throw them into the sea. How will others evaluate Liu Yan?
The fleet carrying gold and silver set out at the same time as the fleet, and they separated on the way. The ships carrying the Japanese did not follow them to the mainland of Han. It is necessary for them to first understand the utilization of the sea by Han and how large the sea has been opened up by Han.
"Since we don't kill them, we should let them understand the power of big men." Liu Yan actually learned this move from the Japanese: "ants will never have the mind to shake elephants."
Liu Yan was wrong. The Japanese colonized Yizhou. In order to keep some local Mountain Nationalities from making trouble, he specially invited the leaders of those tribes to visit Japan. He wanted them to see the powerful navy of Japan and the largest industrial zone in Asia at that time. Those leaders really saw the power of the Japanese, but they didn't have patience to fight for rights and interests. They still raised the table behind them. (it's the fog society incident. If you want to know, you can see the upper and lower parts of the film Syd Ke Barre)
Yizhou is the pain of modern Chinese people. It only became the territory of Zhuxia in the Ming Dynasty. Any previous dynasty or separatist regime, that is, Sun Quan sent troops to land in Yizhou during the Three Kingdoms period, may feel that it has no use value or can't stay. The anti righteous Sun Wu soon abandoned Yizhou.
The Ming Dynasty turned Yizhou into a part of the territory of Zhuxia. As the first dynasty to own Yizhou, the demise of the regime was lost with the betrayal of traitors, and Yizhou was ended. It should be said that the old Zhu family made a great contribution to the territory of Zhuxia. For example, although the plateau marched to eliminate Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, Daming also became the first generation of orthodox Central Plains Dynasty that brought the plateau into its territory.
At present, the state of Han has stationed troops in Yizhou and sent people to explore and draw maps on the island. Of course, it has also become a part of the territory of the state of Han.
Even if there are few resources on Yizhou Island, Liu Yan still regards Yizhou as a part of his native land, which is a complex that modern people should have.
Liu Yan's idea is one thing, but it's a little too much to let the Han state really tilt its resources to develop Yizhou. There are too many places to build on the mainland. In fact, building the mainland is more valuable. Even if you really want to develop Yizhou, you have to wait until the construction that should be paid attention to on the mainland is over.
The place where the Han army is stationed in Yizhou is basically the coastline, such as the place where the central part of the island is full of mountains. In fact, it is to send someone to observe it.
"The mountain area above the island is larger than expected and almost runs through the central area of the whole island." Yu Yi is not talking about the exploration results of the Han state. It is that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once thought of opening up territory and sending people to Yizhou for investigation: "there are many savage tribes there, all of which are quite barbaric."
Can the tribes in Yizhou mountain area not be barbaric? The island is so large and there are so many resources. The local people also divide themselves into mountain ethnic groups and original ethnic groups. The mountain people and the original people fight each other every year. In order to have a larger hunting area, the mountain people have also launched headhunting activities. The plain people also fight each other for their territory all the time. How gentle can you expect them to be?
Liu Yan has responded to this situation. He did not because those tribes will eventually integrate into the national family. He is kind and willing to cooperate. Naturally, Hello, Hello, everyone. What he doesn't want is to speak with a knife.
"There are many natural deep-water ports here." Liu Yan has to thank the Chinese government for having the idea of using force several times. Some military culture courses have also mentioned it, so he will be so impressed: "it's worth using."
